After eating, Feng Guozhang did not let down his guard against Zhang Xun. He said quietly: ”Yuan Shikai has always been trying to push me out of his way, to the point of wanting to kill me. Zhang Xun and his relatives, how could he side with me? Don't fall for his tricks. We have to return to Nanjing as soon as possible. ”

So he said, ”I drank my wine and ate my food. Thank you for your hospitality. Now that the world is not peaceful, I will set out for Nanjing. Please ask Director Zhang to send me on my way. On the way, I have something to discuss with you in detail. ”

Zhang Xun knew what he was thinking and didn't feel at ease with himself. In order to prove that he had no ill intentions towards Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun also put on an act and said, ”This brother has returned in a good time, Zhang Xun should be sending him off. ”Please!” The two of them, escorted by the crowd, got into the car outside. The front and back of the carriage were being followed by Lu Wenhu and her men. Zhang Xun set up his own bodyguards in the pavilion, and only De Sheng followed. The group left the building and headed for the station.

The car had just left the South Gate when a group of people blocked their way. Wang Zhanyuan and Lu Wenhu anxiously urged their mounts to the front of the line to take a look: Only to see that there were dozens of soldiers lined up horizontally, standing there, there was an officer standing at the front of the line. The soldiers held guns in their hands and stood up straight. They were all dressed in military uniforms and were in neat formation.

After which, for some unknown reason, the two of them decided to take a look. Lu Wenhu turned around and reported to the carriage: ”Old Marshal, Regional Commander Zhang, who knows what group of people are in front blocking the road. It seems like you don't want us to come. ” Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xun were both shocked. Feng Guozhang immediately suspected in his heart: ”This must be a scheme that Zhang Xun had set up to harm me.”

Feng Guozhang had his suspicions about me, and yet this happened!” He flew into a rage and cursed in the car, ”I really saw a ghost today! Who dares to block their way? I'll go down and take a look.

Feng Guozhang was afraid that he would take the chance to run away, so she pulled him back and said: ”Take a seat, brother. Let them ask.” Zhang Xun anxiously sat down again. Wang Zhanyuan was afraid that something might have happened, so he immediately stopped the carriage and drove the men away, surrounding the carriage. Lu Wenhu ordered the soldiers: ”Prepare to fight!”

All the soldiers immediately raised their guns and loaded their bullets, ready for battle. Wang Zhanyuan and Zhang Xun's guards De Sheng urged their horses to move forward to interrogate the convoy. When he got near, De Sheng reined his mount and asked in shock: Who are you to block the way?

The military officer in front of him was even more imposing than him. He didn't answer him and instead arrogantly asked, ”Who's driving the car opposite us?” De Sheng said: ”Imperial Governor of Nanjing, Feng Guozhang, Elder Feng's commander's carriage.” He said again: ”You still haven't moved out of the way!” The officer asked again, ”Who are you? Talk to me like that! ”

De Sheng was startled by the question, and stammered: ”I am Zhang Xun, the Guard Captain of the Zhang Xun Capital.” Zhang Xun heard it clearly from inside the carriage, he thought that his subordinate was about to get into trouble and could no longer hold it in, he stuck his head out of the car and said fearfully, ”Who is the brave one opposite us, daring to stop the carriage? Zhang Xun is here! ”

Feng Guozhang also peeked his head out to size up the group of soldiers: All of them were young and strong, all of them looked imposing and awe-inspiring, with 40 plus people pointing their guns at the carriage. Feng Guozhang was so shocked that he closed his eyes and retracted it back, staring at Zhang Xun.

When the officer heard Zhang Xun's question, he became serious and said: ”Pardon me for being disrespectful! We are the guards of the presidential palace. ” That was it: Old Feng was determined to escape this perilous situation, yet he encountered another obstacle in front of him.

It turned out that this officer was none other than the assistant commander of the Beijing Guards Camp, Xu Jin. Ever since Battalion Commander Guo Chengliang was innocent and imprisoned, the Guard Camp had always been under the control of Eldest Young Master Yuan Keding. He was in charge of everything himself. He had a subordinate relationship with the Deputy Xu. The two of them got along very well. Since the new Battalion Commander, Guo Songling, had been transferred over, only then did Yuan Keding remove the seal on the guards' camp.

Before Yuan Keding came out of Beijing, he had thought that if he tried to assassinate Feng Guozhang, he would encounter an unexpected danger. He specially requested Battalion Commander Guo Songling to send forty soldiers from the guard battalion, led by the commander of the Deputy Xu, to serve as his bodyguards.

Guo Songling and the Deputy Xu both did not know why Yuan Keding had come from such a far distance. Because of Yuan Keding's special identity and position, the two of them could not ask.

Ever since Deputy Xu followed Yuan Keding to the Open Seal, he had lived in a hotel together with the soldiers. These soldiers he brought, had all been personally trained by Battalion Commander Guo Chengliang. All of them had martial arts skills, and all of them could capture or scatter. Even though they were small in numbers, they were a well-trained and powerful team. If they were compared with Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xun's guards, one top five was a little weak, while the other top three was not.

Deputy Xu suddenly received a secret report from the police that Yuan Keding had been captured and beaten up. Deputy Xu was shocked, he asked for the reason in detail and anxiously led his troops to ask for them. He hated that he had to take Yuan Keding back. As they walked, they met Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xun's carriages. Deputy Xu was sure that it was Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xun inside the carriage. He stopped the group and stood in front of them.

Deputy Xu thought: ”It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. I am here to protect the Eldest Young Master. No matter what, if something happens to him, I can't tell you. ” He also relied on the power of the guards camp and his prestige, and sincerely wanted to bully Zhang Xun and his subordinates.
