The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The noise in the field became louder, and Zhang Jinghui also joined in, playing with these young people...

Jiang Cheng lowered his brows and rolled his eyes, then stood up and called Ye Hai. He didn't let Zhang Tingxue follow him, and went out through the small side door of the dance hall.

Since Duan Zhigui was really in the Zhang family mansion, he would have to meet him sooner or later - in this situation, instead of letting Zhang Jinghui stay outside, it would be better for him to "take the initiative" and meet the old guy first.

But the Zhang Mansion in Jinzhou is really big, and Jiang Cheng had to sneak out, so it was not easy to find where the old ghost was.

Moreover, the servants in Zhang's mansion must have received instructions from Zhang Jinghui in advance. No matter how the commander-in-chief tried to interrogate them, he could not get any information.

"Damn it! With such a cowardly attitude, you still plan to take up the post in Jilin? You will be laughed at!"

After walking around again, Jiang Cheng found himself back to the main hall. He couldn't help but curl his lips and was about to go back, but he faintly heard a strange noise coming from the small stone walkway against the wall of the western-style building.

It sounded like the wind blowing through a row of bamboos - but the wind can't talk, and Jiang Cheng could clearly hear the chattering of girls.

"Who is there?"

As a guard, Ye Hai immediately stood beside his master, put his right hand on the gun handle at his waist, and shouted, "What are you doing there?"

A large and deep mansion must have a group of servants... When there are too many people, all kinds of people will pop up.

Jiang Cheng thought that some servant was taking advantage of the mansion's dinner party to take some food and drinks.

Unexpectedly, after Ye Hai shouted angrily, he boldly jumped out and said, "Who are you talking about? Who is sneaking around?"

Jiang Cheng felt his eyes dazzled. The girl in front of him was about sixteen or seventeen years old, petite, wearing a white and blue Republic of China student dress, with two thick ponytails tied with blue ribbons;
Although Jiang Cheng's two wives were both very beautiful, their demeanor was the same: This girl should be from the Jiangnan area, with a small oval face and delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Especially those gentle doe-like eyes, which made him unconsciously think of the deceased Cai Chanjuan.

"what?"

When he saw that it was a woman, and a petite beauty at that, Ye Hai, a rough man, was stunned.

"I'm talking about you. Who are you saying is sneaky?"

Seeing that the two men remained silent, the beautiful girl became bolder and stepped forward to ask again.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the blushing guard and thought to himself, you are so useless that you are intimidated by a little girl... Damn, if this is a Japanese spy, I will really let you get involved.

"Don't blame me, young lady. It's just a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Cheng was a man who was used to big occasions. He smiled and said gently, "I am a guest invited by Master Zhang Wu. I had a few drinks and just wandered around."

This seemingly gentle lady actually had a generous personality. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Forget it! Hey, you look quite young, and you came as a guest, and you even brought guards with you? Your father must be a group leader, right?"

My dad was actually the head of a group.

Seeing the cute way this little girl tilted her head, Jiang Cheng stopped Ye Hai who was about to interrupt and said with a bitter face: "Hope my father will become a dragon! I really hope my father will be a group leader... Then I will never have to worry about food, drink and entertainment in the future!"

"Hey young lady, is your father a regiment leader? From what you said, you must have seen what a regiment leader looks like?" Upon hearing this, she opened her eyes wide and her mouth, but was unable to respond.

I... have met the leader? I have met him many times!

This girl was none other than Duan Xinyu, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family who lived with Duan Zhigui.

I heard that someone from Fengtian had come, so there must be something exciting to see...but her father repeatedly asked her to stay in her room and not go out;
Duan Xinyu, who was in a playful mood, had been bored in Zhang's house for several days. Hearing the joyful music here, she could not help but avoid the maids and old women and sneaked over to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, she was seen by the main character of the day.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not..."

Before Duan Xinyu finished speaking, she heard the maid calling "Miss, Miss" from behind. Her face turned pale and she said, "Oh no! I won't tell you anymore. If someone finds out, my father will really scold us!"

In fact, the moment she showed panic, Jiang Cheng had already guessed her identity -

When you are a guest at Zhang's house, there is no need to sneak around to watch the fun. It must be the one kept here by Duan Zhigui who is avoiding you!
Judging from her dress, temperament and age, Jiang Cheng immediately guessed that she must be the old man's daughter.

"follow me!"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, grabbed her wrist, went around the side door of the main hall, and walked away from another corner of the room, avoiding people.

"Hey, what are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

It was not until she was successfully led away from the scene by him and turned into the Zhang family's small garden that the little girl cunningly broke free from Jiang Cheng, "If you touch me again, I'll call for help!"

Jiang Cheng hugged his elbow and teased her: "Go ahead and yell. I'll drag you to the back and let my guards watch over you. Let's see if anyone will pay attention to you even if you yell your throat out."

Duan Xinyu put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! Are all you gentlemen from outside the Great Wall so shameless and ungraceful? It's the Republic of China now, don't you want to learn from the Western gentleman spirit and chivalry?"

Tsk, if you really understood the true meaning of gentlemanliness and chivalry, you would probably still think that the men in your family are better.

However, the fact that she could say these two words showed that she had some knowledge, so Jiang Cheng stopped teasing her and started chatting with her.

Although this girl has a bold personality, she is probably like Hai Huixin and other women who come from the military. She is used to seeing rough guys and soldiers, and she is surprised by Jiang Cheng, a handsome and well-spoken young man.

The two chatted about everything from the current situation to poetry and songs, and even some Western operas. Duan Xinyu showed a surprised expression: "Oh, I always heard from my father that the soldiers outside the Great Wall are all bandits, and many of them can't read!"

"I didn't expect that there is a young man like you who knows everything?"

Hearing her compliment, Jiang Cheng also smiled and said, "I have always heard that women in the inner city all have bound feet and never leave the house... This is the first time I have seen a girl with such knowledge and conversation!"

"Not only is she well-educated and well-informed, but she is also very beautiful. Given your background, the wealthy families seeking marriage must have lined up from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan, right?"

Duan Xinyu blushed at his praise and smiled, "Again! You were just talking nicely, but now you're being so unserious again!"

"What do you mean by seeking marriage or not? How can I understand? Oh, I'm really envious. I heard that girls outside the Great Wall don't have to listen to their parents' orders or matchmakers' words. They can marry anyone they want!" (End of this chapter)
