The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"That's not true - we still have to listen to our parents. He is the one who arranged a wife for our commander-in-chief's son."

The carefully selected daughter-in-law has ruined the good girl...

Yu Fengzhi almost died without getting what she wanted, and she was also diagnosed with cancer, a fatal disease for women.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but have a trace of sadness in his eyes, but when he said this, Duan Xinyu shrugged helplessly: "It turns out that everyone in the world is the same... It really is!"

"But I'm different. My father wants me to get married, but I don't agree... Whoever wants to get married can go ahead! I must find someone I like."

Not knowing why Miss Duan suddenly said these words, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Now I remembered that her father, Duan Zhigui, seemed to have a problem of "giving women away" -

This old guy is said to have two hobbies:

One is playing cards by "building the Great Wall", and the other is playing with women.

Moreover, this guy is very absurd. He often plays with women of special identities. Not only those in the alleys, but his favorites are the courtesans in certain areas, as well as the main stars of this theater or that theater, and so on.

Just have fun, he not only wanted to take these women for himself, he also often used these women as "gifts", that is, he used "beauty trap" to curry favor with powerful people in order to get promoted, make money and seek personal gain.

When Yuan Shikai was the governor-general of Zhili, Duan Zhigui was appointed as the chief of the northern patrol police in Tianjin... He catered to his love of beautiful women and purchased famous prostitutes from various sources to present to Yuan.

The Duan family has been rising in status by stepping on beautiful women, and now... are they planning to use their own daughter as a stepping stone?
Haha, let’s not talk about the marriage, using his own daughter as a stepping stone, only General Duan could do it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's already sad eyes became even colder.

"Miss Duan, does your father intend to have you marry my Fengjun? Then, can you please tell me who it is?"

Since breaking into the Zhang family mansion, Jiang Cheng felt something was wrong.

Now that he was chatting with Duan Zhigui's daughter, he naturally wanted to get more useful information from her.

"Ah, this, this matter, well, since we get along well, I don't think you're a bad person - I'll tell you, but you're not allowed to tell anyone else!"

Duan Xinyu sighed and said, "My father said that he wanted me to marry Master Zhang Wu's eldest son."

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

But he has controlled military power and politics for so long that he has long learned not to show his emotions.

Damn it, I finally figured out what's wrong... This bastard Zhang Jinghui must have teamed up with Duan Zhigui, and they even discussed a marriage!

He would definitely support Duan Zhigui's appointment to Jilin, and might even find ways to trick the Marshal!
After all, along the way, the Jiang family's deep favor has greatly violated Zhang Jinghui's taboo.

"Well, I heard that Chief Zhang's son is very handsome, but..."

Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Duan Xinyu stamped her feet in anger: "You are mocking me too, right? What a handsome man! Do you think I have never seen him before?"

"Humph, it would be fine if he was just as tall and handsome as you - but he's a head and a half shorter than you, and his belly... is so big!"

As she spoke, she placed her fair hands on her slender waist, her face full of helplessness and coquettishness, "Brother, I really annoy him." Jiang Cheng was amused by this straightforward little girl, but he didn't feel relaxed at all.

I have to find Yang Yuting to discuss it quickly... Zhang Jinghui wants to join forces with this old guy, this is too bad news.

After comforting her with a few words, Jiang Cheng was about to say goodbye to her, but his peripheral vision suddenly noticed a clump of green plants in the garden, as if there were eyes and ears.

He became nervous at the moment, but he quickly noticed the man's clothes with his sharp eyes.

Apart from Guo Guizi, who else would wear the Fengtian Army uniform that became frayed after washing?
He said goodbye to Duan Xinyu calmly. Jiang Cheng turned his eyes and walked around from the other side, whispering: "You are worthy of being the tactical instructor of our Military Academy. You are really good at concealment and surveillance!"

Guo Maochen didn't look back, but replied coldly: "You are worthy of being the youngest, most promising and vigorous military commander outside the Great Wall. You really did a great job in this social activity!"

This devil's words are really unpleasant.

But with important matters weighing on his mind, Jiang Cheng really had no time to argue with him, so he told Guo Maochen everything he had just gotten out of Duan Xinyu's mouth.

Although Guo Guizi had a perverse and arrogant temper, he was still very serious and responsible when it came to business. He said, "What do you think I did? I went around Zhang's house, around the city, and around the neighborhood twice."

"I'm afraid something is wrong in Jinzhou City!"

Jiang Cheng was secretly surprised: "What's wrong? When we entered the city, the defense of the entire Jinzhou looked normal... If it was because the officers came to welcome us, it's possible that the defense in the city was insufficient."

"But did you see an officer present today?"

Guo Maochen looked back at him with a cold and stern gaze, but he first praised him with a smile: "You really deserve to be a warlord, you have a sharp eye!"

"Yes, I noticed this and went to investigate. It didn't matter. I found that the defenders in the city should have all gathered in the camp in the north of the city."

Jiang Cheng clenched his fists immediately: "What? There is no major war near Jinzhou. Zhang Jinghui suddenly mobilized troops. Could it be..."

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Guo Maochen and said in an almost solemn tone, "They are coming for us."

After just a few seconds of looking back, Jiang Cheng became more alert after confirming the matter.

Originally, I thought Zhang Jinghui was only seeking to support Duan Zhigui to take power, but now it seems that this old guy might be planning to betray everyone on the Fengtian Army side.

"No, Duan Xinyu is also in the mansion, and she came here to watch the fun. It's obvious that,"

The more Jiang Cheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "Haha, this Zhang guy is not just coming for us. It's possible that he wants to take down all of us and then push the blame on Duan Zhigui!"

Yes, if they really joined forces with Duan, why did they hide it from their allies?

Obviously, after feeding so much bait, Duan Zhigui, the fish that took the bait, naturally had to be released to catch a bigger fish, or even a school of bigger fish!
Guo Maochen smiled approvingly at him for the first time: "You are quite clever! Once Zhang Jinghui has us all taken down, he will report to the commander-in-chief that it was all Duan Zhigui who did it... He has already shot him dead!"

"By then, he will have military power and Miss Duan Xinyu as a bargaining chip, so he won't have to worry about exchanging it with the capital for an appointment in Jilin."

Jiang Cheng sneered: "Yes, Feng Guozhang just wants someone to stir up trouble outside the Great Wall. Does it matter whether it is Duan Zhigui or Zhang Jinghui?" (End of this chapter)
