A person with a status like Liu Chang died of Rehe, so the news could not be hidden. The news spread quickly. Shang Yipeng publicly admitted that he had done something that he colluded with foreign forces and forced himself to engage in separatist behavior with him. He was unwilling to join forces and was threatened, so he took the risk to eliminate the traitor.

This is the most eye-catching news in the days around the end of the year. The whole country quickly focused on it, and public opinion supported Shang Yipeng, calling it a patriotic act. The President received Shang Yipeng's telegram, not only not blamed him, but also commended him. The Ministry of Finance tried his best to make money when the budget was tight, and took special measures. In a few days, he quickly allocated 100,000 yuan in military spending. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was also a formal affirmation of Shang's act of eliminating traitors.

The nature of the incident was quickly concluded, and Guanxi was in chaos. None of the forces obeyed each other. The small-scale self-esteem went to watch first. The strong soldiers and horses were strong. The day after the news of Liu Chang's death came out, they couldn't wait to compete for his original territory, fighting with each other, paying attention to each other, and the impact was extremely bad.

Just a few days after the year, I didn't even eat the dumplings for the Lantern Festival. The President received news that even the two largest players under Liu Chang, Ma Guansheng, who occupied Pingliang in the northwest, and Chen Sanyuan, who occupied Xing'an Prefecture in the south, confronted each other in order to compete for the central area of ​​Kansai. The artillery was connected to the sky, not only causing civilian casualties, but also accidentally injured several British Chamber of Commerce expatriates who had no time to retreat yesterday. One of them died seriously. The British envoy was shocked and angry, and joined forces with the ministers of the other countries to propose solemn protests, demanding compensation and quelling the incident as soon as possible and protecting the interests of the local expatriates. After learning the news, the President was also very angry. After dealing with the foreigners, he immediately held an emergency meeting this morning to discuss countermeasures.

When He Hanzhu arrived, the meeting held temporarily in the Presidential Office was already there, and he was waiting for one. He saluted the eyes of everyone, apologizing for his lateness.

The president nodded and signaled him to take his seat. He Hanzhu chose the last position to sit down and took a look. Except for Zhang Yijiu and other confidential personnel from the Presidential Palace, the rest were from the General Staff Headquarters, the military headquarters and the General Palace.

It was indeed just like what Zhang Yijiu said to him on the phone, a temporary military meeting.

The President was straightforward and told everyone about the situation in Guanxi. Wang Xiaokun and Lu Hongda did not speak, and the rest of the people were talking about it. Some scolded the people in Guanxi who were not good, and some suggested that Shang Yipeng gained fame and reputation to make a fuss. A deputy chief of the General Staff Headquarters who were friends with Lu Hongda sneered: "Shang Yipeng is good. He killed people, got money, and made a lot of reputation. Now the whole country knows that he is a hero. He will deal with the troubles caused. General Secretary Wang, he is your old subordinate, or you should talk to him?"

Wang Xiaokun recently saw that he was not in good health, his expression was tired, his eyes were dull, and he seemed much older, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, why bother me? Shang Yipeng has already established himself as a mountain. If you are polite, call me the old commander when you meet him. You're welcome, I have to respect him. What's the use of my words?"

The deputy chief of the military headquarters continued: "Shang Yipeng has always been a cunning person. He is in the east and has a long journey from Guanxi. Even if he agrees verbally, it will probably take half a year to transfer an army. President Wang is willing but not enough!"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, changed the topic, and started to offer suggestions with one word and one word. When talking about the rebellion in Kansai, they wanted to send troops to shock and pacify them immediately, but when they talked about which army to send troops, they were all silent.

Sending troops to fight wars will bring good benefits. Even if this battle is fought, the whole country will be watching. You, a foreign monk, cannot occupy the temple. There is no benefit. You have to pay for the wages and food, plus the loss of personnel. Who would be willing to be this sucker?

After a long discussion, Zhang Yijiu coughed and said, "Brother, I'll say a few words. The current peaceful situation is achieved by the President's hard work. It is hard to come by and cannot be destroyed easily. If you don't waste the people and make money, you are afraid that local stingers will take advantage of the situation to make trouble. Then there will be no chaos in the whole place. In my opinion, it's better to talk about it than to fight. Why not send special envoys to convey the President's orders, clean up the local area, and calm the situation. If the chaos can be quelled, wouldn't it be better than mobilizing the troops? Once the fight really starts, what the situation will be and how long it will take? I'm afraid that no one can tell you how you are."

After he finished speaking, several generals from the General's Mansion nodded one after another.

Since Zhang Yijiu spoke like this, it must be the President's true intention of convening today's meeting, so naturally no one objected. He also called He Hanzhu, who was not qualified to attend the meeting today, obviously, about the next special envoy, he must be.

Everyone knew it well and looked at him in unison again.

Zhang Yijiu continued to smile and said, "Although I have no selfish relationship with Yan Qiao, I have watched him do many beautiful things in the past two years. Although he is young, I admire him regardless of his knowledge, prestige, adaptability, or ability. This time, the Kansai Special Envoy is responsible and requires extraordinary courage to respond to the situation. I recommend Yan Qiao first."

Lu Hongda showed a slight unhesitation on his face, but he didn't speak in the end. Wang Xiaokun closed his eyes slightly, and he was almost asleep.

The President and the generals next to him discussed a few words in a low voice, looked around everyone, asked if there were any other candidates to recommend them, and saw that no one answered, nodded and said, "That's it."

He stood up and looked at He Hanzhu.

"Yanqiao, I appoint you as the President's Special Envoy. Let me go and get the matter resolved as soon as possible. The letter of appointment will be issued soon and you will take office immediately!"

He Hanzhu also stood up quickly from his position and saluted and responded to his orders.

After the brief authorization and sword-giving ceremony, the President privately summoned He Hanzhu and encouraged him, saying that this was his first time to stand alone, and he entrusted him with important tasks, and the whole country was paying attention to it, and he believed that he would not disappoint him. He Hanzhu saluted again and said that he thanked the President for his trust and cultivation, and would do his best to live up to his mission.

A bare-studded envoy naturally cannot do anything. In order to put pressure on all parties in Kansai to assist the envoy, and with the principle of mobilizing troops nearby, the President ordered several direct troops around Kansai to form a joint division. When necessary, he would use force to fight or not to fight, and he was fully commanded by He Hanzhu.

It was originally an internal matter, but suddenly it escalated into a diplomatic accident. He Hanzhu was so busy that he didn't stop for a moment during the rest of the day. He organized members of the special envoys to arrange their travel routes. After preparing for it, late at night, he took a special troop transport train specially arranged for his trip and left Beijing to Kansai.

Under the shelter, the lights were brightly lit. On the platform at night, there were no ordinary passengers, only one hundred soldiers in a queue ready to go. After the train entered the station, the soldiers boarded the train one by one. The presidential representative Zhang Yijiu, Tong Guofeng, sent by Wang Xiaokun, and many others all went to the station to see He Hanzhu off.

Zhang Yijiu congratulated him and said goodbye in private, saying that he would be ready to go for triumphant success. If things are done, this is an opportunity to increase his reputation and a good opportunity given by the President to let him seize it.

During an earlier private meeting, Tong Guofeng analyzed to He Hanzhu about the situation of the troops sent to him near Guanxi.

The so-called joint division is actually a miscellaneous teacher who gathers together, composed of three parties.

One side is Pan Biao's troops stationed in Ruicheng. It is said that most of them are large scoundrels, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

One side is Cai Zhonggui from Jiezhou, and his troops are still mobilized, but Cai Zhonggui is closely related to the Liao family in Tiancheng. If Tong Guofeng turns to Wang Xiaokun's words, He Hanzhu must pay more attention.

The only one that can be used in the three parties is Feng Guobang's men from Taiping Hall in northern Sichuan.

Feng Guobang had friendship with Ma Guansheng, who was fighting against Kansai. He had contacts with Wang Xiaokun in the past, so he should be able to use it.

According to the order, these three troops should be mobilized immediately after receiving the order, and rushed to Fenghuang County near Guanxikou to meet within three days, waiting for the arrival of the President's Special Envoy.

All the things to say are finished, and the rest are scene words.

The door of the carriage where He Hanzhu was riding opened, and the two teams of soldiers carrying long guns ran to both sides of the car doors, waiting for him to get on the car.

Tong Guofeng, Zhang Yijiu and others shook hands with him and wished him a triumphant victory.

Zhang Yijiu smiled and said, "Time is tight. I really can't set up a practice banquet for Yanqiao today. I owe it first. At that time, we will hold it together with the welcoming banquet to celebrate your triumphant success!"

He Hanzhu thanked with a smile. After shaking his hands, he waved goodbye to the rest of the people who came to see him off line on the platform. Turning around, the smile on his face disappeared.

He knew very well.

The President urgently needs to quell the Kansai Rebellion at the minimum cost. His presidency is about to expire in the middle of the year. With his strength and skills, of course, he will not easily delegate power. He must ensure succession, and even have words and rumors. The President intends to plan a lifelong mission. He needs to maintain the overall stability he created at this juncture and prove his dominance.

It is in this situation that Wang Xiaokun, who is regarded as the No. 2 person by all parties, is now under unprecedented pressure. Wang Xiaokun supports himself with the goal of maintaining himself and even expanding his influence.

He Hanzhu had a premonition that Wang Xiaokun was responding to retreat to advance.

He Hanzhu had already expected this step like a chain reaction when assassinating Lian Liuchang.

It was just that it came so quickly, which was a little beyond his expectations.

This trip, he can only succeed, not fail.

However, this is actually ridiculous.

When will he allow a chance of failure?

After the He family was destroyed, in his life, he had to be cautious and take every step. The so-called predecessors are too late to achieve success, and they should not be afraid of frost invasion in their hair. The so-called east corner is gone, but it is not too late. These are far away from him.

He has no chance to try and make mistakes.

Since he was in his teens, the only uncertain thing he has done in the past ten years is...

He Hanzhu stopped in front of the carriage, turned his head, and looked at the night sky where the city was located in the distance.

He regrets it very much now, regretting why he couldn't control his temper the night before, and wanted to argue with her and make her unhappy.

On New Year's Eve, she drove alone for five hours, from one city to another, and came to her appointment with him.

What else does his husband ask for when he reaches this point? Didn’t the two of them explain it clearly in advance?

He couldn't assure her what would be tomorrow, and she didn't need his responsibility either.

When two people are together, it is just a joy that can end at any time.

If he was rational enough, he should have refused at that time. She was not a woman like Miss Tang, who could call her and linger. She was the daughter of the Su family. She possessed her like that, which made him feel guilty.

But he had completely lost his mind and could not resist her approaching. In fact, if he had kept such a thing as reason, he would not have pursued her from the beginning and approached her.

After only a few days and nights of blind dates, he became a new greedy and became more and more frustrated. He believed that he had heard what she said to his sister in the bathroom. Her previous actions that made him look dazzling and her extraordinary courage had long proved to him how unique she was. What she said was what she thought.

He endured it hard, but he didn't come out at that time and interrupted what she said to her sister.

He felt dissatisfied and lost.

He didn't want to accept such a reality. One day in the future, maybe because the man named He Hanzhu died, or because the girl named Su Xuezhi changed her mind, she would no longer belong to her. She would also like other men, lying in other people's arms, doing the same things as she had done. This thought made him extremely jealous, and his heart was like a poisonous snake biting her. After a quarrel with her, he couldn't help but take her back.

He wanted to remove the layer of clothes that separated him and her, and truly get together without any obstacles. He wanted to truly feel her fiery and softness and completely possess her.

After being rejected by her harshly, he woke up. He violated the agreement between the two when they were together on New Year's Eve and did another stupid thing that was completely unreasonable.

He had no face to face her again, but he did not forget. She asked him in a relaxed tone, would you propose to me now?

He wanted to tell her that he wouldn't. Because he didn't have that qualification.

But, if he could, he would.

"Woo--"

In the direction of the locomotive, a low sound of air waves from the whistle came from. The majesty of the sound made the platform under his feet tremble slightly.

He Hanzhu suddenly withdrew his gaze and got onto the carriage.

It was midnight. Su Xuezhi, who returned to Tiancheng during the day, was still awake and had no sleepiness.

My cousin was already asleep in the room next door, and his voice could be heard faintly through the wall.

Su Xuezhi leaned against the head of the bed, staring at a ring flipping in her hand with a dim bedside lamp.

The ring has a simple shape, pure gold, a simple ring, and the only special one. The inner ring on the back is engraved with four subtle seal characters. If you carefully identify it, Han Zhu Jinnuo.

He ran out early yesterday morning and actually customized such a ring?

From the whole day when he hurriedly got off the train with himself and came back, Su Xuezhi's mood was so chaotic.

At this moment, it was late at night. She looked at things and recalled the New Year's Eve that had just passed. When she arrived as promised, the two of them reached the last step, his retreat and his confession.

She didn't know much about him, but she knew that he had a powerful enemy and had ambition to move forward. He was not a good person of ordinary meaning. He was trapped in a whirlpool, as he said, in a mud pit, conspiracy, murder, and his hands were stained with blood. He once ruthlessly mocked her starry sky, and he would help her unhesitate the dark side of the pharmaceutical factory that had little practical benefits to him. He was ruthless to others, and he didn't care about himself, as if it was really just a body stored by the soul. But at the same time, he was a gentle brother, a "cousin" who was unconditionally willing to keep secrets for her and silently protected her.

It was such a man full of contradictions and fatal attraction that made her run towards him regardless of everything after realizing her love for him.

At that moment that night, she clearly felt his extreme desire for himself, but he retreated, under the premise that she completely acquiesced.

Su Xuezhi was really deeply moved by this man's restraint and retreat.

At that moment, the emotional impact his actions brought to her was far greater than all his previous care and confession to him.

So, she told him without hesitation that she did not need him to be responsible.

It was true that she was moved by this man and wanted nothing, just to be with him.

She has always been a person who is unwilling to add pressure to others.

Because she knew that he was afraid of tomorrow, she hoped that he could let go of his heavy burden and responsibility for himself, and gather with her with the fate, and enjoy the love between men and women purely.

In such a chaotic world, standing on the whirlpool, if his tomorrow is really as he said, he is powerless to control it, and then he is destined to have no result with her. For example, he will die unexpectedly as he is worried, and for example, he will have to leave her. She thinks she will be very sad, but she will be prepared.
To be continued...
