I Deliver Telegrams at the Warlord's Mansion

Liu Changgeng, the junior aide who had been blown up alongside the Marshal in a train car at Huanggutun, had been trapped in the Marshal's residence for ninety years, listening to tour guides recount what happened afterward tens of thousands of times. He opened his eyes and returned to the night of November 22, 1925. Clutching a telegram from Luan County, he stood outside the Little Brothel. The Marshal inside was still alive, Wu the Big Tongue was still alive, Guo Songling had yet to rebel, and Yang Yuting had yet to enter the Tiger Hall. He was the only person in the whole world who knew what would happen over the next ninety years, but he was only an aide whose job was to serve tea and deliver telegrams.
