Chapter 362: Relationship Collapse, Southern Qin Province
The meeting with Zhang Zuolin ended in a bad mood.
Zhang Ye didn't care about anyone's face. He left the box and went straight to the port, preparing to return overnight.
The moment he got on the car, Lu Shan followed closely behind with a list sent from the opposite side. After seeing Zhang Ye's extremely gloomy face, he realized that something was wrong and immediately tore the list to pieces.
Buying arms? Buy chicken feathers!
It's simply a dream to want to do business with someone who has made the Marshal unhappy.
Upstairs, Zhang Zuolin looked at the convoy moving slowly in the night, his face looking very unhappy. He stared at the car Zhang Ye was riding in, his fists clenched and his breathing began to become heavier.
Yang Yuting came in from outside and saw his angry expression. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Marshal, it will take an hour to reach the port from here. We have a brigade of troops deployed nearby..."
"Ah..." After a while, Zhang Zuolin sighed softly, his lips twitching slightly. In the end, he still couldn't issue an order: "It seems that the Independence Army is the biggest obstacle to the unification of Daxia."
"Marshal, this battle is unavoidable. Zhang Ye now controls seven provinces, has a strong army and is trying to rule the offshore areas. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we will really be nurturing a tiger to harm us." Yang Yuting was still unwilling to give up and wanted to take this opportunity to keep Zhang Ye in Bincheng.
He knew better than anyone how terrifying Zhang Ye was. If he was allowed to continue to develop, within five years, there would be no rivals in Daxia. Even if the Fengbei Army and the Hedong Alliance were on the same front, they would not be able to defeat the other side.
"He is no longer our match. Just be patient. The risk of taking action first is too great and we cannot afford it." In the end, Zhang Zuolin chose to keep the peace and swallow his anger.
In his opinion, the Fengbei Army was located in the north, far away from the center of power, and future battlefields would definitely revolve around the Hedong Alliance and several districts of Donglu.
When the Independence Army and Feng Yuxiang and others are fighting fiercely, it will be the perfect time for them to set off.
……
A week later, the weather turned warmer and the temperature gradually rose.
Fuli County, southern Qin Province.
The scarred men who had returned all the way from Donglu were wearing tattered clothes and had stains all over their faces, looking like beggars who had fled.
At this moment, we were squatting on the street in Fuli County, watching the people passing by, with mixed feelings in our hearts.
Scarface unconsciously touched the small package in his arms, swallowed his saliva, and fixed his eyes on the other side of the restaurant. He stood up and led the way: "Damn it, let's get something to eat first, I'm starving!"
They suffered a lot along the way. It was okay within the jurisdiction of District 7. Although the road was not easy to walk on, it was safe. They didn't have to worry about their personal safety even if they slept in the wild at night.
Until we entered the territory of Qin Province, all kinds of messy characters appeared one after another. They dared not show off their wealth even though they had huge sums of money. They followed the caravans carefully and sneaked around every day. They did not dare to sleep in the wild at night. They found the cheapest inns to stay in, and they looked like awful people.
At this moment, the brothers who finally returned to their hometown felt a little relieved, as they finally had time to eat something good.
At the entrance of the restaurant, a waiter with a white handkerchief draped over his shoulders was welcoming customers. As he turned around, he saw a few ragged beggars entering the house. He immediately got angry and blocked their way, driving them away impatiently, "Go away, go away and beg for food. How dare you come in without even knowing where this place is!"
"Hey, you bastard, who are you looking down on? Who the hell is a beggar?" Scarface, who had been holding back his anger all the way, immediately lost his temper when he saw the other party being so aggressive. He grabbed the waiter's collar, took out two dollars from his pocket, and demanded, "Isn't it okay for me to come here and pay for the meal?"
"You! If you want to spend money, just spend it. Why are you being so arrogant?" The waiter saw that these guys were tall and strong and didn't look like they were easy targets. His arrogance immediately subsided a little. He said tremblingly, "Our things are very valuable. Two dollars may not be enough."
"Go to hell, I have plenty of money!" Scarface pushed him down and walked in with a few brothers.
Although the waiter was full of anger, he didn't dare to lose his temper in the street, so he could only force himself to step forward and lead the way.
Entering the private room, the brothers sat around the round table in a carefree manner, demanding like a master: "Whatever is good, hurry up!"
"Dear guests, we have all the best things here, but the price is..." The waiter still didn't believe that they had money. Although he called them "sir", his words implied that he wanted to collect money in advance, fearing that these guys would have no money to pay after eating and drinking.
"It's just money, here you go!" Scarface was almost dying of hunger, too lazy to argue with him, and immediately took out five dollars from his pocket and threw it to him: "Give me good wine and good food, this money is enough!"
"Enough, enough, enough! This is more than enough, gentlemen!" After seeing the five dollars, the waiter instantly turned into a lackey, smiling so warmly, he was happier than seeing his biological father.
"Get out of here, hurry up and serve the food. I'm starving!" Scarface waved his hand impatiently and drove him out of the box.
As the waiter left, a man on the right, wearing a felt hat and looking honest, stood up and started walking around the room. Everything he saw seemed new and interesting to him. "Brother, I never thought we'd be able to eat at such a high-end restaurant in our lifetime. It really feels like a dream."
"Can you be a little more ambitious?" Scarface glared at him, picked up the teacup on the table and took a gulp, then wiped the water from the corner of his mouth proudly: "Brothers, we have plenty of money now. Not to mention eating, even buying this restaurant is not a problem."
"You need to change your useless behavior and stop embarrassing me!"
"Hey, big brother, ignore him. He's just a wild donkey who hasn't seen the world." Another short boy with a shrewd look in his eyes leaned over to Scarface and whispered, "How much money did Marshal Zhang give us? Is it enough for us brothers to get married and buy some land?"
"Get out of the way!" Upon hearing this, Scarface raised his rough palm and hit him directly on the forehead, cursing: "You are not much better than Sanzhu. You keep talking about getting a wife. You can't live without a woman!"
Scarface glanced at his brothers and warned them in a very serious tone, "The Marshal has given us a great opportunity this time. As long as we seize the opportunity, it will be difficult for us not to become successful in this life!"
"What?" Sanzhu was a straightforward man with no brains. When he heard that he could become very successful, he immediately asked impatiently.
"The Marshal said..." Scarface poked his head out, then suddenly stood up mid-sentence and closed the door tightly. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he returned and whispered under the gaze of his brothers, "The Marshal said that if we can gather a team of 1,000 people within a month, he will give us a chance to become the warlord of Qin Province!"
