"Hehe! Young Marshal Lin, I've heard so much about you! I'm Yu Guozhang from Feidong!"
Yu Guozhang's hearty laughter came through the dedicated phone line.
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, "So it's General Yu. I've heard so much about you! I've long admired you!"
"Haha, Young Marshal Lin, you're too kind. You're now the Governor-General of Liangjiang, your power is half a rank higher than our old folks. I should be the one admiring you!"
"By the way, Young Marshal Lin, I heard my grandson caused you a lot of trouble in Shanghai. Oh, I'm so sorry, so very sorry! Don't worry, I'll definitely teach him a lesson later!"
"But now, the weather in Shanghai is getting cold, and my grandson has been pampered since he was a child. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it. Please, Young Marshal Lin, give this old man some face and let him off this time. Don't worry, I guarantee he will never misbehave again!"
Lin Yu frowned, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "General, Qi Jun colluded with gangsters to oppress the people. This is no small crime. Moreover, the people are hoping for a fair trial. You're asking me to use connections, which puts me in a difficult position!"
"Alas, my grandson has been led astray by those people in society. He's still young, how could he understand so much? Young Marshal Lin, please give me some face! By the way, I heard that the Grand Secretary has run into some trouble in Yandu, and the situation looks very bad. Now is the time for us to work together to serve the country. I, Yu Guozhang, am stationed in Feidong to guard the country, and I bear a heavy responsibility! As long as Young Marshal Lin speaks up, I, Yu Guozhang, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"What the old general says is true. The situation is indeed not good right now. I may have to lead the Jinling army back to reinforce it. At that time, I would like to ask the old general to come with me north to protect the Grand Secretary and not let these treacherous officials succeed!"
"That's right! Don't worry, hahaha!"
Lin Yu said solemnly, "Since the old general has said so, I will naturally give him face. Don't worry, after tonight I will head north, and I will send your grandson back with me then!"
"Alright, alright, it's settled then!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu gave a cold smile, but a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
You just want to test my intentions, don't you?
As you wish!
I hope you won't try to fool me and will make the right choice.
Otherwise, the death knell is destined to toll for you!
"Young Marshal, Fang Zheng and the others are all ready to go. When shall we depart?"
At this moment, Feng Jiu walked in and asked.
Lin Yu turned around and handed a golden mask to Feng Jiu. "You stay here. After tonight, lead the Jinling army north and camp on the banks of the Fei River. Do not enter Feidong yet! Wait for news from Yandu!"
"And what about you, young marshal?"
"I want to go back to Northeast China!"
"Back to the Northeast?" Feng Jiu looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Young Marshal, with such rumors circulating in Yandu, the Grand Secretary's situation must be dire. If you don't go back..."
"Your Excellency is alright, there's no need to worry!"
Lin Yu turned to look at the night sky and said calmly, "I have already observed the celestial phenomena. The Grand Secretary is in good health. However, those bastards in the east have very grand schemes! That dog Wu Tiande is a traitor who doesn't know the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese. If I don't return to the Northeast this time, even the Iron Pagoda won't be able to stop them!"
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and several dark red stars in the east are moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Young Marshal, shall I go back with you?"
Feng Jiu looked worried.
Since the young marshal spoke so seriously, it must be a major crisis.
For Feng Jiu, being a soldier is only a secondary identity; his primary identity is that of Pavilion Master Lin's personal bodyguard.
Even if he were torn to pieces, we must not allow the Pavilion Master to suffer a single hair.
"No need, just do as I say. I'm going to create a false impression. I've already had Murong Heshu set up a smokescreen in Shanghai. Plus, with you leading your troops north, everyone will think I'm in the south. Nobody will know that I've already returned to the Northeast!"
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "To me, internal conflicts within the Great Xia have never been a threat! The biggest threat is the wolfish ambition of the Japanese! Since they want to play big, then I'll play along. I'll settle this once and for all, eliminating future troubles for my descendants!"
brush!
The next second, Lin Yu vanished from the spot.
"Young Marshal, young..."
Feng Jiu gradually lowered her arm and shook her head helplessly.
He only regretted that his cultivation was insufficient and he could not help the young marshal in any way.
...
Feidong.
Yu Guozhang hung up the phone, his eyes darting around.
"Dad, how was it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Qi Ming said smugly, "Lin Yu is notoriously arrogant and domineering. The fact that he's being so polite to you means that the situation in the Northeast must be dire! Putting aside his status as the young marshal of the Fengtian Army, this Lin Yu is nothing more than a pawn of the Grand Secretary. Once the Grand Secretary is in trouble, he'll be nothing at all. Who will recognize him as the Governor-General of Liangjiang? At this moment, he would never dare to make enemies everywhere!"
Yu Guozhang nodded with a smile, "It seems that the Lin family is really in trouble this time. Once the aristocratic families take control of the situation, they can take back the independent military power of the Fengtian Army in no time, and the Lin family will be completely finished!"
Without a doubt, the outcome is clear: the aristocratic families will ultimately triumph in this transformation. They can still sit on their ancestors' coffins, continuing to enjoy the benefits and secure their rule!
"This kid said that after tonight, he will lead his troops north, passing through Feidong, and will send my grandson back on the way!"
Qi Ming sneered, "Hmph, once he arrives, he won't have a choice! We'll keep him in Feidong for good. This is our way of giving back to the aristocratic families. Father-in-law, you might even get promoted two ranks and become the Grand Marshal of the Central Theater Command!"
