The moment Xi Que walked out of the door, Pang Hai said with a teary smile, ”I said that on purpose. Let him go find it. We, the brigadier, are most afraid of being disturbed. If anything went wrong, he would either scold or scold. I expected the brigade leader to be having a drink with Yama Takashi at this time. Let him be cursed at. ” After that, he poured some wine for Fa Ming and the two continued their conversation.

Xi Que came to the back of the house and saw Wu Peifu and Yama Takashi drinking wine together. That beautiful lady was full of affection as she courteously poured wine for the two of them. Xi Que did not dare to disturb her as he stood there. Wu Peifu drank with Yama Takashi while looking at the beautiful young miss.

Seeing that, Yama Takashi laughed out loud: ”Old friend, if you like, I, this young miss, can stay by your side.” Wu Peifu also laughed: ”You really are my close friend! Recently, I took a walk, is suffering no one to accompany me. Every night was boring. I can be accompanied by this beautiful young lady, so I don't think about that anymore. Thank you, sir! ”Let me toast you again!” The two of them joyously raised their wine glasses and began to drink.

After drinking a few cups, Yama Takashi thought that Wu Peifu would be drunk and thus stopped drinking. ”Old friend: Do you want to reconsider the matter that I asked of you?” Hearing that, Wu Peifu immediately smiled.

Yama Takashi continued: ”I believe that with your relationship with Cao Rui, you will definitely be able to accomplish this. Actually, I only beg you to bring him out and give him to me for a day or two. Then, if you return him without anyone knowing, wouldn't that be the end of it? Doing this sort of thing would be a simple task for you. ”

Wu Peifu said: ”This matter is extremely important, I cannot agree to it. Firstly, he was the leader of the President, and secondly, he was Zhang Zuolin's man. I can't afford to offend either of them. Once things go wrong and the news goes away, I'll lose my position and be executed. Furthermore, they said that they were not being held in the Guardian Office. How do you want me to help you? ”

Yama Takashi laughed sinisterly: ”I naturally know where people are locked up. It'll depend on whether you can sincerely help me or not. ”

Wu Peifu continued, ”It's not that I'm not friends enough, but I know of our friendship. I can't help you. Now that I'm in Zhuozhou and Cao Kun is in Langfang, he can't even stand on his feet. We are the old marshal Feng Guozhang's people in Nanjing, and we are very disappointed in the government. Now that the national government is in the hands of Duan Qirui and the others, they view us as thorn in their side, as they try to find an excuse to kick us out. ”I can't let them find out for my own benefit.”

After Wu Peifu finished speaking, Yama Takashi was still not giving up. Yama Takashi continued: ”The two of you Cao Wu are influential people. Who didn't know? The War Department values you, and the President views you in a different light. How can you be ostracized? What a joke! ”

Wu Peifu helplessly continued, ”Don't praise me anymore, I know my own abilities. I'm in town on business now, and I can't get anything done. With the War Department in Duan Qirui's hands, they had come to us a few times in all sorts of names. It is only now that the Elder Feng of Nanjing intervened from the center that we can settle down here. Who knows when Xu Shuzheng will come and chase us away. I don't have the energy to meddle in other matters. ” Yama Takashi was greatly disappointed upon hearing this.

Wu Peifu continued: Aren't you Japanese supposed to be close to Duan Qirui? ”Why not ask them for help?”

Yama Takashi said: ”Who said we were keeping secrets from them? Rumors! We're just ordinary relations. The Japanese come to do business in China, and if they want to gain a foothold, they have to rely on you Chinese officials. We have no intention of making friends with you. We have also looked for Duan Qirui and the others. ”None of them are as good as you in handling matters with Cao Rui.”

After Yama Takashi finished speaking, he pretended to be honest and waited for Wu Peifu's reply.

Wu Peifu's eyes turned, wanting to get rid of him. He asked Xi Que: ”What are you here for? ”Go ahead.” Xi Que immediately stood at attention and reported: ”Sir, someone from War Department has arrived. The staff officer is looking for you. ” Wu Peifu left his seat and scolded: ”These pampered servants, they must be here to chase me away again.” He turned around and said goodbye to Yama Takashi, then left while cursing.

Wu Peifu came to the living room, and saw that it was the second elder of War Department, Xu Shuzheng. Wu Peifu calmed his anger and said: ”I've made my officer wait for a long time! ”Sin, sin!”

Xu Shuzheng said: ”Brother Wu is busy with military matters, little brother understands. Actually, I just got here. Please do not be so polite, brother. ” Just as the two of them sat down, because Wu Peifu had drank enough, he became a little irrational and asked: ”Captain Xu, what new instructions do you have for us?”

Xu Shuzheng immediately stood up from his seat and said, ”This little brother just came over from General Cao Kun's place. I came to you on the orders of both the President and the War Department. The President ordered the two of you to lead this division to the Xuzhou and Zhengzhou to set up defenses. I have come to an agreement with General Cao. He has decided to immediately move his teacher and set off. It will be up to you, General. ”
