The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The happiest people today were Jiang Chengye and Ye Shengshi. Seeing their fathers pestering them, they refused to let go and happily played in the snow as soon as they returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
Hai Huixin had already ordered people to prepare hot soup and hot water. After they entered the room, changed their clothes, and started to eat and drink. It was a lively and joyful scene.

"Strange, they were the first to leave after completing their studies, so why haven't they arrived yet?"

Jiang Cheng blinked his eyes repeatedly when he heard Sun Zhengnan, who stayed behind, report that he had not seen Duan Zhigui, who was coming to take up his new post. "What's going on? Did something happen on the way?"

When he said this, his eyes kept looking at Duan Xinyu on the other side——

However, Miss Duan was wrapped in a thin blanket, with her head down, drinking brown sugar ginger tea listlessly, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with her.

What's wrong with this girl?

Before in Jinzhou, if it wasn’t for his father, he almost detonated a melon grenade, intending to die together with Zhang Jinghui who violated the interests of them and their father?

Why suddenly...

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that this girl's mind seemed to have changed greatly.

I'm afraid so, because I'm always treated as a gift, first given to Zhang Jinghui's son, and then given to the Marshal's son?

"Well, with our students as officers, what can happen? The beards on the road or something, do you think they dare to rob the army when they see his flag?"

Sun Zhengnan's tone was more playful, as if he was deliberately speaking for Duan Xinyu to hear, "Besides, this is the governor's carriage after all."

Duan Xinyu suddenly shuddered slightly, and looked up at these men blankly——

At this moment, her head hung even lower, and she actually looked pitiful.

"Alright, alright! You guys, stop talking too much. Xinyu caught a cold on the way and now she has a fever."

As a woman herself, Zhang Tingxue felt sympathy for her. She quickly waved her hand while holding a handkerchief, and asked her maid to help her go upstairs to rest, and then settled her in the side room first.

"Feilan, let's find a doctor... He has a fever after passing Siping, and it's scalding hot."

Seeing her frail and thin figure disappearing around the corner of the stairs with the two girls, Zhang Tingxue turned back with a trace of embarrassment on her face, "I know her father is a bad guy who is trying to steal your seat."

"But Xinyu is really innocent - we also know what happened before, her father is really abominable."

Hai Huixin also sighed: "Yes, Xue'er and I are lucky. We have the protection and care of Mr. Jiang - but what does she have? What does her father think of her?"

"What can we women do? It's all up to fate."

Jiang Cheng had no sympathy for her at all, but since his two wives had expressed their opinions, he nodded silently and turned around to call Ye Hai.

At this time, the boy was hugging his son Shengshi in the distance and chatting with his wife Cui Ni whom he hadn't seen for a long time; Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled when he saw this, then turned his gaze to Sun Zhengnan again.

The latter nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Master Jiang, I will take care of this matter... But I have to remind you that sympathy is only once or twice, and you can't care so much in the future."

Jiang Cheng curled his lips: "Why is it your turn to teach me? Haha, isn't this also... because I am controlled by my wife?"

Zhang Tingxue scolded: "Feilan! You are always making fun of people - Okay, okay, actually I want to intervene in this matter today not just for the sake of kindness,

"The point is, I always feel that Xinyu understands the current situation better than her father... She kept telling me on the way to Fengtian that she kept persuading her father not to come to Jilin Prefecture to take up his post,"

"But her father was clearly furious. How could he let go of this great opportunity to take the top position? Not only was he in a hurry to come, he even beat her because she said a few more words in her defense."

Jiang Cheng nodded again.

Although he didn't guess these details, Jiang Cheng could roughly see that Duan Xinyu was opposed to her father's appointment. "In other words, aren't the father and daughter of the same mind?"

Hai Huixin looked at Zhang Tingxue, then turned her gaze to Jiang Cheng, "Master, can I go and see Miss Duan in private?"

"So... I'll take advantage of this opportunity to see her and talk to her about the situation in Jilin."

Jiang Cheng didn't rush to answer her.

According to Marshal, the Northeast wanted to control Duan Zhigui and launch a "counter-espionage plan" against the capital.

If Duan Xinyu is told of the righteousness, she will certainly persuade her father to stop being the governor of Jilin again.

You know, Duan Zhigui is determined to become an official. His daughter was beaten for trying to persuade him.

Persuade again now?

I'm afraid it will only increase his resistance, and will inevitably cause Duan Zhigui to be strongly wary and opposed to Jilin and even the entire Northeast...

This is not only not beneficial to the "counter-espionage plan", but also not beneficial to Jilin's current situation.

"I think it's not convenient to discuss this matter."

Jiang Cheng still shook his head and said, "Huixin, doesn't your family have some money deposited in Sunrise Bank? Go and withdraw some of the interest and buy a house for the father and daughter near the lobby of the government office."

"Just say it was my idea so that it will be convenient for him to go back and forth to work."

Hai Huixin didn't quite understand why he made such arrangements, but she absolutely trusted her man, so she immediately nodded and agreed.

Zhang Tingshu smiled evilly and said, "What I mean is that from now on, the place will be called Jilin Military Governor's Mansion, right?"

"I think I'll come when the sign is posted. I'll go to Changchun and find a calligrapher to write a calligraphy in cursive script for him. It'll be called: Zhengyanshun Dujunfu. What do you think?"

Hai Pingchuan was so amused that he almost spit out his tea: "Brother, what you did is really too mean... Then what is the name of our family?"

Zhang Tingshu naturally responded with witty remarks: "We are learning from the capital here, so we will name it Zhengda Guangming Military Governor's Mansion."

Jiang Cheng laughed loudly: "Screw you! It's fine if you insult Duan Zhigui, but you also insult me? Are you brothers?"

Zhang Tingshu also laughed: "Ha, I'm not saying these jokes just because I'm afraid you'll worry about the position of the commander-in-chief--"

"But where did Xuechengling go?"

In fact, Jiang Cheng was also a little puzzled about this matter.

Although Zhang Xuecheng is unreliable, he arranged his adjutant himself, and the adjutant is relatively reliable in terms of both character and style of doing things.

Now the entire team is actually out of contact... and they must have been lost near Siping;
Because Hai Rushong's patrol battalion discovered Zhang Xuecheng passing by, but later no trace of them was found.

"It's not going to fly, is it?"

Zhang Tingshu made a joke, but seeing that Jiang Cheng was getting a little nervous, he rubbed his chin and said, "For safety reasons, let's send someone to look for him."

Zhang Xuecheng's troops were the third mixed brigade after Li Shitou's escort brigade and Guo Xipeng's, and they were very well equipped. (End of this chapter)
