While Han Baihang was still drifting on the boat, in the far northwest, Wu Peifu's mansion in Luoyang City was in chaos.
Wu Peifu was sitting in the study, holding a book of "Book of Changes" in his hand and reading it with interest. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Chief of Staff Li Jichen stood at attention and said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief
, the students and reporters at the door were sent away."
Wu Peifu didn't even raise his head, and just said "hmm" softly. Seeing that he still looked calm and composed, Li Jichen couldn't help but said: "Commander, the situation is very unfavorable to us now. Why don't you stand up and say a few words?"
?"
Wu Peifu said casually: "What do you want to say?"
Li Jichen said: "Now people outside are saying that you are a collaborator and traitor to the country. It is obvious that Zhang Zuolin is dissatisfied with your political opinions and deliberately slandered you. Why don't we inform Marshal Cao and let him speak for you?"
Wu Peifu chuckled lightly, put the book in his hand on the table, and said calmly: "Cao Kun? I'll be thankful if he doesn't add insult to injury."
The battle within the Zhili clique has always been very complicated, especially after Wu Peifu defeated Duan Qirui, his reputation continued to rise, and he vaguely meant to overshadow Cao Kun.
Now that Wu Peifu is in trouble, it's already settled that Cao Kun doesn't come out to step on him. It's undoubtedly a fantasy to ask him to help.
Li Jichen frowned and said, "Are we just going to watch them pour dirty water on us?"
Wu Peifu turned his head and said with a smile: "Jichen, when did you lose your composure? Now that Zhang Renkui has killed all his daughters, he still can't do anything to me. Do you know why?"
Li Jichen thought: "They have no evidence that they can bring down the commander?"
Wu Peifu shook his head and said: "They have evidence, but this evidence is not enough. Please read this complaint carefully."
As he spoke, Wu Peifu sent today's latest daily newspaper to Li Jichen. He had read this daily newspaper dozens of times.
It just said that Han Baihang, a company commander under Wu Peifu, secretly sneaked into Nantong and contacted the Japanese. Unexpectedly, he actually hooked up with Zhang Renkui's daughter, and Zhang Renkui was deceived into getting married.
Zhang Renkui later discovered that Han Baihang was so anxious to get married in order to drag Zhang Renkui into trouble. Zhang Renkui refused to obey, and Han Baihang was so evil that he not only sent people to assassinate Zhang Renkui, but also assassinated two Japanese in Zhang's house and set fire to Zhang Renkui's house.
.
Later, Zhang Renkui searched the whole city for Han Baihang to no avail, and only caught his daughter. Zhang Renkui was extremely angry and killed his family.
The article was eloquent and praised Zhang Renkui as unparalleled in the world. Everyone was impressed by Zhang Renkui's behavior and began to criticize Han Baihang verbally and writing. Even Wu Peifu was pulled together and started scolding.
"How is it? Do you see anything?" Wu Peifu said with a smile.
Li Jichen frowned and said thoughtfully: "Has Han Baihang run out already?"
Wu Peifu nodded and said: "If Han Baihang is in their hands, Zhang Renkui should have pushed him out by now. In this case, I may not have any chance of turning around."
Li Jichen said happily: "This kid is so brave, he can actually escape from the old fox."
Wu Peifu snorted coldly: "He is stupid, but that's fine. As long as he is out for a day, neither Zhang Renkui nor Zhang Zuolin can do anything to me."
Li Jichen said: "But what if they catch Han Baihang?"
Wu Peifu sneered: "They won't catch it!"
The sun slowly rose from the horizon, emitting thousands of rays of light. A small boat swayed gently on the river facing the rising sun.
Han Baihang was sitting in the warehouse, unable to see the picturesque scenery. Instead, he was sweating and shivering all over.
Zhao San looked at Han Baihang and said: "Judging from your experience and the information I collected along the way, it is obvious that Zhang Renkui is not targeting you, but the commander behind you."
Han Baihang didn't expect that the two of them had only known each other for three or four days, but Zhao San already knew so many things. The look in Zhao San's eyes changed a little, and he began to be a little afraid of the young man in front of him who looked like he was only in his twenties.
Zhao San seemed to have had a good rest, and he was in good spirits and started to talk more.
"If I'm not wrong, now Zhang Inkui wants you to die, but your commander wants you to die!"
After hearing this, Han Baihang was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Shuai Yu wants to kill me?"
After Zhao San muttered "Jade Commander", he said with certainty: "If it were anyone else, you might still have some hope of living. If it were Wu Peifu, you would be dead. Only if you are alive can Wu Peifu be proven guilty, and
If you die, you will die without any evidence. So Wu Peifu will kill you no matter what!"
Han Baihang broke into a cold sweat. It was about his own life and death, and he could no longer care about anything else. At first, all he was thinking about was how to escape, and he had no idea how to break the situation.
The enigmatic young man in front of him now should be able to save him from the sea of suffering.
Han Baihang asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhao San glanced at Han Baihang and sneered: "Now you don't blame me for killing so many people?"
Han Baihang was stunned for a moment, and the light that ignited in his eyes dimmed in an instant and said: "You are right, victory is obtained with sacrifice. Maybe my sacrifice is in exchange for Yu Shuai's victory."
Zhao San pushed his eyes and said softly: "I didn't expect you to give up like this. I thought you were a determined person."
Facing the calm and collected Zhao San, Han Baihang felt that he was completely defeated. Zhao San's words were sharper than the sword, and each cut was deeply engraved in his heart.
Originally, Han Baihang thought that as a time traveler, he naturally had a natural arrogance and thought that he knew everything. The successive failures of the Shanghai group had worn away all his so-called arrogance.
When an arrogant person thinks that what he is proud of is defeated, that is when he collapses. Now it is rare for Han Baihang to be able to maintain his clarity of mind.
Zhao San glanced at Han Baihang and said: "Failure in this life is not terrible. What is terrible is not learning from failure. Everyone who has climbed to the top has experienced the experience of falling off the cliff. If you can't even do this
If you can't see through it at all, my saving you will be in vain?"
Han Baihang shook his body, slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao San and said, "Are you willing to save me?"
Zhao San nodded and said: "I can see that you are different from others. Has anyone ever told you how many catastrophes of life and death you will experience?"
Han Baihang was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Yongcheng, a fortune teller once said that there would be disasters in the four years of age twenty-three, twenty-five, twenty-seven, and twenty-nine, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
He asked in surprise: "You still know how to tell fortunes?"
Zhao San shook his head and said: "I don't understand, but I just know some fortune-telling algorithms, and I can barely discern some things. I will save you, but you must also agree to a condition!"
