The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

One o'clock in the morning, at the Zhijiang Provincial Governor's Mansion.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

"General, an urgent telegram has been sent to Shanghai from the young master. Something serious has happened!"

Lu Yongxiang, who had been lying down and sleeping for a long time, suddenly heard noisy shouting outside the door.

In a daze, he seemed to hear something, which should be related to his son.

"What's going on? This bastard is causing trouble again?"

Lu Yongxiang climbed up from his concubine's side and cursed in dissatisfaction.

"This little bastard, I really owe him in my past life. He's a total loser, doing nothing all day long but spending money and getting into trouble!"

"Oh, that's enough. Go ahead and don't disturb my sleep!"

The concubine's delicate little face was full of impatience, and she kept pushing his back to drive him away.

They don't let anyone have any peace and quiet in the middle of the night. Neither of them is a good person.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. No one should blame anyone else!

Squeak!

The door opened, and Lu Yongxiang looked dazed, obviously not fully awake yet. He stood at the door in brocade pajamas and asked loudly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? If you need money, just wait until tomorrow morning and ask the finance department to transfer the money to him."

"No, Lord Governor, it seems that the young master is in big trouble."

The adjutant, holding two telegrams, reported with sweat on his forehead.

"Just now, we received an urgent telegram from the young master, saying that he has offended the Independence Army and asked you to find a way to rescue him!"

"What!?"

Lu Yongxiang, who was yawning and drowsy just a second ago, instantly became alert when he heard these words.

His eyes were as big as cow eggs as he stared at the adjutant in front of him and asked angrily.

"What's going on? Why is he clashing with the Independence Army? Where is Xiaojia now? Is he in danger?!"

This old guy always nags and scolds his son for not living up to his expectations, but when something really happens, he is more nervous than anyone else.

After all, over the years since he was a child, he felt that this kid was the most like him, and was most likely to inherit everything from him and carry the banner of the Lu family.

Now, he was captured by the Independence Army. As the father, how could Lu Yongxiang not be anxious?

"Sir, there is another telegram."

At this time, the adjutant took out another telegram sent by the Shanghu Independent Army and reported anxiously.

"This is from the Shanghu Independence Army, asking you to go to Shanghu immediately to discuss the issues concerning the young master!"

"Sir, we can't go there. We're at loggerheads with the Independence Army. If we go, we'll probably be imprisoned on the spot!"

"Bullshit!" Lu Yongxiang cursed angrily and ordered without hesitation: "My son is in their hands, do you want me to have no descendants?"

"Prepare a special train to Shanghai immediately!"

"But...but this is too dangerous right now, Lord Commander, please reconsider!"

The adjutant was quite loyal and continued to persuade the man despite the risk of being shot.

He knew very well that the Feng faction had suffered a crushing defeat in the last battle, and the Independence Army had long been eyeing the territory of Zhijiang Province.

Now, Lu Yongxiang has taken the initiative to come to the door, isn't that a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?

"Stop talking nonsense, I've made up my mind. Hurry and prepare the special train!"

Lu Yongxiang didn't think too much about it and just wanted to save his son.

No matter what, the bloodline of their Lu family cannot be cut off. As for what Zhang Ye wants, he is too lazy to care now.

The Feng faction also has representatives in Shanghai. When the time comes, we can bring them over and sit down and chat together.

He just didn't believe that Zhang Ye dared to detain him in front of the people of the whole country!

……

The next morning, before eight o'clock, Zhang Ye had already gotten out of bed and went to the living room to prepare breakfast.

As soon as he got downstairs, he found that Old Zhang had already gotten up and was sitting on the balcony leisurely reading the newspaper.

This old man is also quite interesting. He insisted that he was old and not used to living in a too spacious place, so he insisted on living with Zhang Ye.

"Master, did you sleep well last night?"

When Zhang Ye arrived, he sat down and Lu Shan, who had been serving him for half a day, brought him a cup of hot tea.

"It's good. Shanghu is a nice place, quiet and comfortable to live in."

Old Zhang nodded with a smile, looking at the flowers blooming everywhere outside the window, feeling very good.

"Is there anything you want to eat in the morning? I'll ask them to prepare it."

Zhang Ye took the teacup and took a sip, then asked with a smile.

Since they come from afar, they are guests, so we must take care of them in every aspect.

As for the high-ranking officers of the Fengbei Army, he doesn't need to worry about them. They went out for a walk last night and probably haven't come back yet.

"I'm old now, so I don't have any dietary restrictions. I can eat anything."

Old Zhang put down the newspaper and said casually.

After traveling all over the country for so many years, his eating habits are no longer so picky.

As long as it is something a normal person can eat and can fill his stomach, he won't be picky.

"Okay, then go get ready!"

Zhang Ye said it casually, then thought of what happened last night and asked with a smile.

"Where is that Lu Xiaojia?"

"General, he's been captured and is being held in the camp's detention room."

Lu Shan responded truthfully.

After bringing this kid back, they didn't beat him or scare him. They just threw him into the confinement room and left him alone.

"Wow, you're so quick, are you really caught?"

Hearing this, Old Zhang looked at the two of them in surprise.

He went to bed as soon as he came back last night. He always thought Zhang Ye was joking, but he didn't expect this guy to be so quick and catch the person back overnight.

"General, you are my honored guest. You have come here with great difficulty, and yet you let this stinky bug mess things up. If I don't deal with him, wouldn't it be too neglectful to my guest?"

Zhang Ye chuckled sincerely.

It sounds like he is praising Lao Zhang, but in fact he is just concerned about his own face and is afraid of being criticized.

The supreme leader of the Independence Army was frightened by a little brat and walked away in disgrace with his tail between his legs.

If this gets out, people will definitely laugh their heads off!

"Haha, kid, there's no need to be angry with him."

After a night's sleep, Old Zhang's anger subsided significantly, and he no longer had the desire to mess with the boy.

A rich second generation who knows nothing and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, can't achieve anything great, there is no need to pay attention to him.

"What the Marshal said is true, so I didn't plan to do anything to him, but called his father over."

Zhang Ye crossed his legs, looking relaxed and contented, with a smile on his face that never stopped.

"Lu Yongxiang? Did you get him here?"

On the other hand, Old Zhang became a little upset after hearing the news. He rubbed his beard and asked in confusion.

"That old fellow is smarter than a monkey and has never taken any risks in his life. Will he come here in person for his son?"

"Come or not, my principle is that if he doesn't come to Shanghai before sunset today, Lu Xiaojia will definitely not see the sunrise tomorrow morning!"

In response to this issue, Zhang Ye was very decisive.

This is purely voluntary, and they have the final say whether to come or not.

Absolutely not forced!!
