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

"Oh, forget it..." Zhang Ye sighed softly, reached out and patted the guard's tense shoulders, indicating that there was no need for him to be so nervous.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, but remained highly alert and cautiously took a small step back.

Even though they were a little distance apart, the guard's sharp eyes never left the people in front of him. His cold and sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, emitting bursts of chilling cold light.

Scarface came back to his senses, his face showing embarrassment. He quickly clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Ye and the others, saying in a gruff voice, "Brothers, I'm so sorry! I accidentally took up your seats just now. I'm really sorry! Since we're lucky enough to meet here today, how about we have something to eat together? It'll be my apology to you brothers!"

After saying that, his pair of eyes as big as copper bells looked at Zhang Ye and others expectantly, waiting for their response.

Facing the scarred man's enthusiastic invitation, Zhang Ye simply smiled, then gently shook his head and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. We've already had our meal, so I won't bother you any more. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, let's get together then!"

Hearing Zhang Ye's polite words, the scarred man couldn't help but reveal a look of obvious disappointment on his face.

However, he quickly calmed down and bowed to Zhang Ye and the others again, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't force it. I hope we can meet again in the future!"

After saying this, he turned sideways to make way for her, without making any further moves to try to keep her.

In fact, the reason why the scarred man had the idea of ​​treating everyone to a meal was simply because he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to these people who seemed to have extraordinary status.

After all, Zhang Ye and his group were dressed in gorgeous and bright clothes, and their every move revealed a unique temperament. Moreover, they were all agile and skilled in martial arts, and they were most likely big shots from the city.

If they can successfully establish relationships with such people, it will undoubtedly bring many unexpected benefits and opportunities for their future development.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes and Zhang Ye obviously did not intend to give him this face.

Although he felt a little regretful, the scarred man was sensible and knew that some things could not be forced, so he simply chose to let go.

boom!

Just as the two groups passed each other, a deafening gunshot suddenly pierced the relatively calm air in the carriage, as if a thunderclap exploded in people's ears.

In an instant, the well-trained guards acted quickly as if by reflex.

They surrounded Zhang Ye closely, forming a solid protective circle, and then moved towards the docking point of the carriages at the fastest speed.

Although the space there is narrow, it is the best choice to temporarily avoid danger and buy time.

At the same time, in the dining car, a young man in a tattered leather jacket stood out like a ferocious monster.

His face was filled with hostility, his eyes flashing with ferocity and greed. He held a box gun tightly in his hand and shouted at the passengers who were huddled in fear around him: "Everyone coming from the south or the north, whether you are a big boss in business or a high-ranking warlord with a large army, you all squat down here and don't move! If anyone dares to move, I will not be polite!"

The young man's voice was hoarse and rough, with a strong sense of threat.

As he roared, he waved the box gun in the air, as if he wanted to further increase his deterrent power in this way.

He then continued, "I'm here today just to seek wealth, not to kill anyone. As long as you obediently hand over all your valuables, I can promise you that I won't harm anyone! However, if anyone dares to play any tricks or attempt to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, four or five young men, also armed with guns, rushed out from various corners of the dining car.

They moved swiftly and coordinated well, and in a blink of an eye they surrounded the entire dining car, completely cutting off any possibility of escape for others.

Obviously, this group of robbers had carefully planned and deployed their operation in advance and were fully confident about it.

I have to say, this group of people are really smart.

They knew very well that most people who could afford to eat and consume on the train were either rich or noble, and they must have a lot of valuables on them.

Therefore, they deliberately chose this meal time to rob the food truck, hoping to return with a full load.

"Everyone, behave yourself! If anyone dares to have any evil intentions, don't blame me for being so insensitive!"

With an angry shout, another tall, broad-shouldered and strong man suddenly stood up from the crowded crowd like a mountain.

He wore a thick fur hat that hid most of his face in shadow, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes and a large, fleshy mouth.

At this moment, the burly man was holding a tattered cloth bag tightly in his right hand, and his left hand was casually placed on the bulging holster at his waist, striding towards the inside of the crowd.

Obviously, he was going to plunder the valuables that everyone was carrying.

Long before they took action, this group of bandits had already made preparations in advance.

They knew that this section of the journey was in a deserted and wild mountainous area, and it was still more than half an hour's drive to the next stop.

Thus, the time and place are extremely favorable for them, allowing them to commit any evil acts they want without being discovered.

"It's freezing out here, so you'd better think carefully: do you want money or your life? Saving your life is easy, just hand over the money. Of course, if someone thinks life is worthless and insists on getting on my nerves, hehe...that's fine too. I'll open the window and throw you all out. Whether you're smashed into a pulp or frozen to death in the wilderness, that's up to you!"

The burly man held a pistol and spoke in a threatening tone, constantly intimidating the unarmed civilians.

They had done things like robbing trains before, and a few years ago they had also robbed quite a few warlords' grain trucks.

Today, the Independence Army has severely cracked down on the bandits, leaving these people with nowhere to hide. Their team is shrinking, and they are on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, in order to survive, they can only choose ordinary train robberies with lower risks. Although they cannot steal much money, they can still enjoy themselves comfortably for a while.

"Hurry, put your bracelets, earrings, necklaces, watches, anything valuable into your pockets."

The strong man carefully searched the passengers' belongings, and if he saw any rare items, he would just snatch them away.

Anyone who dares to resist will inevitably be beaten up.
