The Travelers of the Heavens

At the end of October in the thirty-first year of the Great Zhou Empire (the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, 1939 AD).

Chi Lian led his troops back to Shanghuang, and then took the"King Snake" special plane back to the capital.

After hearing the news, Wang Qi led a group of brothers and dignitaries to the airport to greet Chi Lian.

"President, you have worked hard on this expedition," Wang Qi said to Chi Lian.

"Are you okay? Is your father still here? Chi Lian asked

"My father left more than a month ago, saying he was treasure hunting, but my mother is still here," Wang Qi said.

"Well, let's go back." After Chi Lian finished speaking, he walked to his high-end bulletproof car and returned to the Forbidden City.

Capital, the Forbidden City Presidential Palace

"Did nothing happen while I was away?" Chi Lian sat down in his seat and asked

"Everything is normal, and the 216th Division has returned to the capital. The operation is going very smoothly. This is the combat assessment report submitted by Zhang Bo." Wang Duo said, picked up a folder on the table, opened it, took out a report and handed it to Chi Lian.

"Put it here, I'll look at it later." Chi Lian knocked on the table.

""Yes." Wang Duo responded and put down the report.

"Oh, by the way, my mother said she would hold a banquet in the Old Summer Palace to honor the president," Wang Duo added.

"Okay, when will I go?" Chi Lian nodded in agreement and asked

"Tomorrow night is a family dinner," Wang Duo said

"Got it," Chi Lian responded.

The temporary residence of Anton Duhufu in Old Summer Palace

"Master, you look really beautiful in this dress." This is what the maid looked like after she praised Ji Yizhen for changing into a cheongsam.

"This dress is too revealing for me.. It's better to replace it." Ji Yizhen pulled the opening on the side and said

"Master, it’s okay, don’t you think Madam wears this kind of skirt every day? It’s okay," the maid said.

"Well this"Ji Yizhen didn't know how to respond. I wonder if my mother-in-law is too open-minded in her dressing, and isn't she afraid of being commented on?

Then she put on a pair of eight-centimeter black high-heeled shoes with red soles and planned to take two steps.

"Master, be careful!"Fortunately, the maid had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold her on, otherwise Ji Yi would have sprained her foot.

She is very uncomfortable with high heels.

"Forget it, wait for me to change clothes." Ji Yizhen shook her head.

Then she took off her cheongsam and high-heeled shoes, and changed back to a cross-collar wide-sleeved top, a horse-faced skirt and flat silk shoes.

After a while, Wang Cong came back.

""Husband," Ji Yizhen bowed and saluted very gracefully.

""Princess" Wang Cong also bowed slightly in greeting.

"My husband went out early in the morning. What was he going to do?"Ji Yizhen asked someone to serve tea first, and then asked

"Oh, I went to see Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jiang. This was an errand assigned to me by my eighth uncle. He asked me to take care of these prisoners," Wang Cong said.

"Since it is a matter of state, husband, please do not neglect it," Ji Yizhen said.

"Okay, I know it well," Wang Cong said.

At this time, the maid brought tea

"Well, the tea today is better than yesterday, not bad." Wang Cong said after taking a sip.

"The president is back, and grandma will host a banquet for her tomorrow night," Wang Cong said again.

"Oh, I heard that the president went on an expedition to the south. He has been there for more than half a year. It is really hard," Ji Yizhen said.

"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it long ago. This expedition was too long, but fortunately our army won a great victory and wiped out the enemy's main force," Wang Cong said

"Oh, that’s great, it’s not in vain for the president to ride hard all the way," Ji Yizhen said.

""Yeah." Wang Cong listened and nodded.

The Forbidden City is the residence of the members of the delegation under house arrest.

"What is happening to the national army? They are defeated again and again, and they have lost all their capital." Although Yang Liren is restricted from traveling, he can read newspapers and listen to the radio every day. Although the news is relatively lagging behind, he will not become blind or deaf.

"Commander-in-Chief Li Pinxian of the 16th Group Army was actually captured. This time the Gui Clan really lost everything, and the prestige established by Li Zongxuan in Taierzhuang will also be lost with the defeat of the Hengbao Battle," Chu Cai said. He also A bit secretly happy.

Now the situation is that Jiang has improved a little. Li Zongyuan and Bai Chongxi of the Guangxi faction have become the bare commanders. A whole ten armies have been eaten up. Now the two have returned to Guangxi to prepare for a comeback. The reason why they can The running back and forth has something to do with the fact that the Kyushu Army only destroyed the Kuomintang troops and did not occupy much territory. But don't worry, several divisions of the South China Expeditionary Army formed by the Japanese Japanese will soon occupy the Hunan area

"Where is Commander-in-Chief Li being held now?"Yang Liren asked

"I don’t know, I heard that they were all brought back to the capital," Chu Cai said.

"However, the Communist Party's army in northwestern Shanxi also suffered heavy losses. This time, the chairman can feel more at ease," Chu Cai added.

"The Zhou devils are so powerful, they can eat whoever they say they want to eat. When they were suppressing Gong, the Gong Communists led Commander Xue by the nose. Their strategies and tactics were so clever. Now, the Zhou devils are attacking the Gong Communists with one hand and taking care of them with the other. It's really scary to kill Commander Xue; I didn't expect the Japanese to be so lucky, holding such a big leg, the future war situation may be even more difficult." Yang Liren put his pockets in his pockets and looked at the ceiling, pacing back and forth.

"You seem a little pessimistic." Chu Cai adjusted his glasses, looked at the glass of boiled water on the table, and said

"I just told the facts, and I think the chairman must be thinking of ways to save the crisis," Yang Liren said

"It's just that Zhou Guizi rescued the victims in Hunan and was praised by many people. I'm afraid the Chairman's propaganda campaign will be in vain," Chu Cai said.

"Do you think the Japanese are mentally ill this week? He is clearly here to invade, but instead he spends his own money to help millions of our victims. What is he trying to do at such a huge price?"Yang Liren said.

The detention of Mrs. Song Qingling, the mother of the country, has already made the Jiuzhou Army infamous. Obviously the Jiuzhou Army doesn't care about reputation, so why did it spend so much effort to rescue the victims this time? Yang Liren couldn't figure it out anyway.

"This may be Zhou Guizi's counterattack against the chairman's propaganda offensive. They detained the negotiating delegation for no reason and detained the mother of the country, Mrs. Sun. People from all walks of life have been denouncing them for being dishonest. Now this flood has come at the right time. They have only lost money. Some supplies, but the reputation has been restored; high, it is really high, hey"After saying that, Chucai sighed.

After hearing this, Yang Liren shook his head helplessly.

In another dormitory, four officers sat together and stared at each other. These people are Li Pinxian, commander of the Guangxi 16th Group Army, Xia Wei, commander of the 48th Army, Zhang Gan, commander of the 171st Division, and Li Benyi, commander of the 176th Division.

Li Pinxian has recovered from his injury now, but Xia Wei's injury is more serious than him. Although he is mostly healed now, he still has a bandage on his arm.

""Two officers, now that we are behind bars, I would like to ask for your advice on how to escape," Zhang Gan said.

"Escape? This is not Guangxi, this is North China. There are millions of Japanese soldiers stationed around us. How can we escape? This is harder than climbing to the sky," Xia Wei said

"That.. us"Li Ben hesitated and said:

"Now that we are captured, how will we face Degong and Jiangong in the future, and how will we face the fellow villagers in Guangxi?" Li Pinxian lowered his head and covered his face.

When the other three heard this, they lowered their heads in unison.

"I don't think they have any intention of executing us." After a moment of silence, Xia Wei said

"How did Commander Xia see this?" Zhang Gan asked

"If they wanted to kill us, they would have killed us as early as Hengyang, why bother to go to such trouble to treat our injuries and take us back to North China?" Xia Wei said

"There is no other way to deal with the current situation except to wait and see what happens," Li Pinxian said.

In the evening of the next day, Wang Beixuan personally drove to pick up Chi Lian for the family dinner.
