Although Xu Jiajun suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, Pei Xun must have suffered heavy losses. But for Xu Guangyao, he believes that every battle is a loss for both sides, and it is meaningless to continue fighting. The adjutant reminded Xu Guangyao that the position of the warlord could not be kept now. Only by keeping the army and the territory can there be hope of a comeback. This is a battle that will determine the future life and death of the Xu family.
In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high, but it is annoying to look at it. The moonlight illuminated the dead soldiers, and they were carried off the battlefield one by one. Xu Guangyao sat on the small soil slope, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, like a knuckle in his throat. Su Hongchen suddenly appeared behind him, and Xu Guangyao's mood gradually became clear.
This time Xu Bojun sent Su Hongchen over, first to persuade Xu Guangyao to go back, and secondly, he wanted to drag the Su family into the water, so as to force Pei Xun to make concessions. Xu Guangyao knew his father's mind well, but he still didn't want to leave. If he leaves, no one really cares about the life and death of these soldiers. Although he knew these facts, Su Hongchen was still willing to stay with Xu Guangyao to live and die together. They all know that if they can keep Xu Jiajun, then this battle won't have to go on.
On this day, Su Hongchen came to Pei Xun's camp alone to negotiate with each other by fate. Pei Xun was in a dilemma, furious. But Pei Shaojun persuaded Pei Xun that Xu Guangyao was the only son of the Xu family after all, and his reputation had always been very good. Pei Xun thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so he quickly ordered a retreat for twenty miles and a temporary truce.
Xu Bojun found several members of Xu Guangyao investigating the arms smuggling case and learned that they were indeed smuggling arms for Pei's family. The other party also explained that the assassins who assassinated Xu Guangyao were not from the Revolutionary Party, but from Pei Xun. Thinking about it this way, Xu Bojun can be regarded as dredging the context of the whole matter. Xu Guangyao investigates Pei Xun's shameful business. Pei Xun thinks that the assassination of Xu Guangyao cannot be kept away, so he lends the Mu family a chance to reverse the case and wants to destroy the Xu family. Xu Bojun couldn't help sighing. Xu Guangyao was still too good to be a woman. He wanted to calm down, but he didn't expect to give others a knife. Now Pei Xun is preparing to take over Xu Bojun's post in the Beijing government. If there is a scandal at this juncture, it would be a loss of face. When Pei Xun received the telegram from Xu Bojun, he blew his beard and stared, but he reluctantly agreed to Xu Bojun's request.
Seeing Xu Guangyao returning to the old house safe and sound, Xu Bojun was very pleased, and finally revealed the kind face of his old father, and pretended that he had converted to Buddhism and had no knowledge of world affairs. Seeing what his father looked like, Xu Guangyao couldn't help feeling guilty, and blamed himself for misunderstanding his father. But after Xu Guangyao left, Xu Bojun took off his mask, revealing his original appearance. He attributed all the guilt to Tan Xuanlin and vowed to get rid of him.
On the way back to Shanghai, Tan Xuanlin looked at the refugees outside the window with a lot of emotion in her heart. Wanqing gently stroked his back, which was regarded as comforting him. Knowing that Wanqing had returned, Mu Zhiyuan ignored the butler's obstruction and dragged the patient to the train station to greet him in person. Several people met, and before they could say a few words, an assassin flashed out from somewhere. Mu Zhiyuan responded in time to block the dagger for Wanqing and drove Hexi at the train station. Before he died, he gave Wanqing to Tan Xuanlin to take care of her. Tan Xuanlin promised that she would take good care of Wanqing. At the funeral, Tan Xuanlin and Wanqing confessed that they couldn't wait for a moment and wanted to stay with her all the time. Tan Xuanlin proposes to Wanqing to fulfill Mu Zhiyuan's last wish.
Xu Bojun's plan was originally prepared perfectly, but he didn't expect Mu Zhiyuan to jump in halfway. Xu Bojun knew that Mu Zhiyuan was planning to change his life for another, so he could find a backer for Wanqing before he died. Now he eats fast and recites Buddha, just to change his reputation. But Tan Xuanlin didn't get rid of the unhappiness, so he had to find another plan. Xu Guangyao found a rubbing of a letter on Xu Bojun's desk, with Shanxia's name on it. He asked Xu Bojun whether he planned to cooperate with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Xu Bojun rubbed his crutches and hurriedly changed the subject.
