Chapter 354 Life in the Republic of China in the Age of Chaos 12

Peng Hengzhang and his group returned to the guild hall, and when there were no members of the Gu family around, everyone couldn't help but burst

into laughter. Even Peng Hengzhang, who was always serious, couldn't help but laugh.

In the past, the Gu family was the largest military leader in Beiyuan. Even in the whole country, they were well-known figures, and they were huge beasts that no one dared to touch.

Even though Peng Hengzhang was now fully grown, he still felt jealous of Gu Wentian.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Gu family is not just a skinny camel, but a beast in its prime.

The unknown is the most frightening thing, but now he is relieved.

"The Gu family is just like this. The arsenal that is widely known outside is really not worthy of its reputation."

Peng Hengzhang couldn't help but look at Jiang Lan and asked, "Miss Jiang, what do you think?" "

There are not many military leaders in the country who have the ability to build an arsenal. It's normal for the Gu family to be a little arrogant. But the weapons they produce seem to be similar to those made in Handu."

"Xiao Qiao, didn't you take one? Show it to Miss Jiang."

Upon hearing this, Adjutant Qiao immediately handed the rifle in his hand to Jiang Lan respectfully.

"Miss Jiang, please take it."

After Jiang Lan took it, she directly dismantled the entire gun into pieces.

Just as she expected, the design of this rifle was relatively backward and was produced by imitating the obsolete goods of Yanjian Country.

"It's just a copy of the Handu rifle. I don't know where they get the confidence to say it's the best in the country."

"It's definitely different from what our arsenal makes. The so-called chief designer, Miss Su, is just that."

Peng Hengzhang was originally a little wary of Su Xinru, who came from a hermit family like Jiang Lan, but he didn't expect that the opponent's strength was far below his expectations.

Jiang Lan threw the gun aside and asked, "Commander Peng, what do you think? Do you want to go to war with the Gu family or conserve your strength?"

Peng Hengzhang said very frankly, "Now is not the time. If we go directly against the Gu family, both sides will suffer losses, which will also benefit others."

The small military leaders around were like jackals, and they would rush up when they smelled the meat.

"Just like what I think, let's avoid the enemy and wait for the right time."

Peng Hengzhang didn't know what the future would be like, but Jiang Lan did.

The biggest enemy facing both the Peng and Gu families was the invaders, not other warlords.

"Some false names are available to the Gu family, but I, Peng Hengzhang, don't care."

The next day, Gu Consultant Tian brought Gu Muzhen and his confidants to pay tribute and apologize, with a bit of a sense of self-pity.

Gu Consultant Tian and Peng Hengzhang had the same idea, and neither of them was willing to go to war.

It would be best if the two could maintain peace, otherwise the loss would be too great and it would benefit others.

"Brother Gu, I only recognize you as the boss of Beiyuan, and I don't recognize anyone else."

Peng Hengzhang's words also gave Gu Consultant Tian a reassurance. What he feared most was that his position would be replaced by others.

"Brother Peng, you are a good person. I didn't make a mistake in your judgment. Don't worry. As long as I am here, my Gu family and your Peng family will be friends. No one can shake our status."

"With your words, I can go back with peace of mind."

Consultant Tian patted Peng Hengzhang's shoulder, and his words were quite earnest.

"Brother Peng, I won't say anything else. The Japanese are not good people. You have to be careful. You have to take the risk of fighting against a tiger."

"Don't worry, brother. I am not a pushover. I won't be fooled by a few Japanese devils."

Seeing this, Consultant Tian stopped talking.

As for the words about selling weapons, it was not appropriate for him to say anything more.

Everyone knows that it is not a sale to go to the pole.

The Peng family stayed for almost a week under the arrangement of the Gu family, and finally set off back to P City.

Consultant Tian came to see them off and expressed his highest level of sincerity.

After the Peng family left, Gu Muzhen asked reluctantly: "Father, why don't you take this opportunity to kill Peng Hengzhang? In this way, we can take over his power."

300,000 troops, this is such a big piece of meat, just thinking about it makes me excited.

Consultant Tian wanted to do it, but he knew that the probability of success was not high.

"Peng Hengzhang is very good at leading soldiers. He eats and lives with the soldiers and trains with them normally. The soldiers he leads only obey him and not others."

More importantly, Consultant Tian didn't know Peng Hengzhang's background.

If he took the initiative, he might fall into the trap and give the other party an excuse to attack him.

Especially with the Japanese behind the scenes, Gu Consultant Tian was even more worried.

"Are you just going to let him go?" Gu Muzhen was a little upset, "Peng Hengzhang is too disrespectful to the Gu family. He didn't even buy a gun."

When it comes to this, Gu Consultant Tian was also very angry and scolded Gu Muzhen.

"This matter was originally arranged well, and it's all your fault! A grown man can't even control a woman, and you still have the nerve to say

it?" Gu Muzhen knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything more.

"Father, Peng Hengzhang is a problem, we can't let our guard down."

Gu Consultant Tian is an old man, and he doesn't need his son to remind him of such a small matter.

"Ah Zhen, take a few people and dress up to go to P City to check the truth. I want to see if this kid is really strong or just pretending."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"Ah Zhen, the world is getting more and more unstable. Our Gu family has been entrenched in Beiyuan for so many years. We can only advance and not retreat, otherwise we will end up with nothing left. They won't allow us to live." Gu

Zhitian sighed. He was born in the grassroots and had no education. He gathered a group of brothers with loyalty and built this huge country.

It's easy to build a country, but it's hard to keep it. Only he knows all the bitterness.

Compared with Gu Zhitian's melancholy, Peng Hengzhang is much calmer.

On the way back, the guards were very nervous, fearing that someone would ambush them, but he himself was very calm, not worried at all that someone would kill him.

"The higher you climb, the more things you have to worry about. The consultant will definitely not act rashly unless he finds out our bottom line."

Peng Hengzhang knew the soldiers he led best.

"If just anyone can replace my position in P City, then I have wasted the past few decades."

Jiang Lan smiled and reminded, "Gu Advisor Tian may not take action, but what if the Japanese want to stir up trouble?"

Peng Hengzhang's smile froze in an instant, "Yes, these Japanese are best at killing people with a borrowed knife. If something happens to me on the road, the biggest suspect will be the Gu family, and no one will think of the Japanese."

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "Yes, then the water in Beiyuan will be completely polluted, and it would be better for them to take the opportunity to do something."

The Gu family thought that the Peng family had cooperated with the Japanese, and other military leaders would also think that the Peng family had cooperated with the Japanese, then the Japanese would be even less suspicious.

Peng Hengzhang smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Jiang, why do I feel more and more scared the more you talk?"

Jiang Lan was about to say something when he felt something was wrong and immediately asked the driver to stop the car.

"Something is wrong ahead, driver, please stop the car first."
