After handing over the work, Xu Fushan walked in carrying a bowl of steaming beef noodles.

Jiang Cheng grabbed the chopsticks and ate while giving instructions, and also called the people from the Chamber of Commerce to make arrangements.

"Oh, by the way, my second brother will probably be leaving for England by ship in the next few days. It would be best if I could come back in time to give him a visit."

At this point, Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, "If Pingchuan and I get stuck in Fengtian, you can help us get there."

Sun Zhengnan quickly agreed and talked about the recent situation in Changchun and the capital.

Especially after Ivan contacted the Russian guerrillas, they caused trouble for the Japanese every other day... causing the Japanese army from top to bottom to focus on the war situation in Siberia.

It is indeed a good opportunity for development, and Jiang Cheng is really reluctant to leave Jilin at this stage.

But the Marshal's order had already been given, so even if he was waiting for Hai Pingchuan to come back, he would only wait for a day or two.

There was no point in delaying for a few days, so Jiang Cheng took Zhang Tinglan and Duan Zhigui, father and daughter, and boarded a military train that night and headed straight to Fengtian.

"Xiaoying is really dragging her pregnancy out. She still hasn't given birth to the baby yet."

The next afternoon, they rushed to Fengtian. In addition to the few people the Marshal wanted, Hai Rushong also arrived in Fengtian unexpectedly.

Upon hearing that his grandson had not yet been born, Uncle Hai, who was always anxious, showed an anxious expression again.

"Well, why not let him leave later? At least he can spend two days with his wife--"

Jiang Cheng followed him out of the station and got on the bus, "Uncle, why did the Marshal call you to Fengtian as well?"

Hai Rusong slammed the car door shut, rolled up his cloak, sniffed and said, "Not only that, your father, as well as Second Master Wu and Sixth Master Sun are here..."

"Officers above the brigade level have all arrived from around Fengtian. It seems something big has happened in the capital this time."

Is it because of the turmoil in Shandong?
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up slightly: "It seems that no matter what Mr. Shuai talks to us about, this matter...is a big deal anyway!"

Hai Rusong nodded in agreement, but quickly changed the subject: "Feilan, even though I'm in Siping, my ears are always busy—"

"Ahem, who are you in that car following behind?"

Zhang Tinglan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced over through the rearview mirror.

Jiang Cheng was very touched, but he couldn't help getting annoyed: "Oh my, Uncle Lian Hai, are you saying that too much?"

He explained the whole thing to Hai Rushong, but the latter didn't say anything else, just asked him not to let his daughter suffer any injustice.

Jiang Cheng laughed, who would let my wife be wronged? That Chunchun doesn't want to live anymore.

Besides, it’s still unclear whether she will be seen after being married, so how can you associate it with being wronged?
But the topic soon turned to the strange father and daughter of the Duan family——

Hai Rushong said that he had heard some rumors before. This old guy was also the old man who trained troops in Xiaozhan under Yuan Shikai, and he still had some prestige in the interior.

Although he doesn't seem to be very capable, he is quite good at managing interpersonal relationships.

During the Hunan battlefield, all the warring parties were enemies, but Duan Zhigui happened to have personal relationships with all of them.

Even Sun Liuye of their Fengtian Army had connections with Duan Zhigui.

Jiang Cheng was quite surprised: "What, Sixth Master has a personal relationship with him? How come I didn't know anything about this..."

I noticed earlier that Sun Liechen was extremely happy to get Jinzhou, but I never thought that Duan Zhigui would also... "I really underestimated him. Tsk tsk, no wonder he was able to get his daughter sent away with just a word!"

As they were sighing, the convoy arrived at the Grand Brothel. The Marshal's Fifth Wife and several servants were waiting in the courtyard. When they saw them, they came over with a big smile on their faces: "Hey Feilan, long time no see. How come I see you look a lot stronger now?"

Jiang Cheng also greeted her with a smile: "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Madam Fifth. You are becoming more and more beautiful!"

"I got a lot of high-end cosmetics and perfumes from the West and brought them all to you... Please don't despise them, share them with the ladies in the house!"

Shou Yi saw the goodies being unloaded from the car, and first he laughed and thanked him, then he grabbed his wrist and pulled him aside: "Hey, Duan Zhigui's daughter is really pretty!"

"Last time I just glanced at her hastily and didn't take a closer look. Now that I see her again, wow... you are quite lucky!"

Well, I didn’t expect that this matter would be mentioned twice just after arriving in Fengtian.

Jiang Cheng turned pale and glanced back at Duan Zhigui who was greeting the whole family. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Are you humiliating me? It's not enough of a headache!"

"Hey, Madam Wu, you have to tell me something right now. What is the reason why Master has summoned all the leaders here this time?"

Shou Yi acted innocent and said, "Well, you ask me about this, how can I know?"

"Your father arrived yesterday at noon, and he and Master Shuai also met with Yang Yuting... I heard vaguely that it was something happening inside the pass."

really!

Neither he nor Sun Zhengnan guessed the wrong direction——

Jiang Cheng nodded silently, then smiled and said, "Your words are enough! Haha, let's invite you and your wives to Tianfuju tomorrow, and we'll have a good time to gain weight in autumn!"

Shou Yi patted him on the shoulder cheerfully and said, "Okay! Come on, since you are the great commander-in-chief and you are treating us, we sisters should give you face."

After a while of pleasantries, Jiang Cheng turned away and immediately handed a note to Zhao Xishun:

The rules in the brothel are very strict now, and it is not as easy as before to see the Marshal.

Whether the note could be handed over depended on whether the old man was free... But they waited in the hall for a while, and then Master Shuai sent words down, asking them to stay first and have Zhang Tinglan come to the study with him later.

After packing up their things, Jiang Cheng changed into casual clothes and went straight to the Marshal's study with Zhang Tinglan.

The old man was currently dozing off on his back in a bamboo rocking chair. The huge study was so quiet that the only sound he could hear was the creaking sound of the rocking chair swinging back and forth.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhang Tinglan from the corner of his eye. The latter's face remained cold without any unnecessary expression.

Click, click!
As the Western clock in the room reached 1 o'clock, the crisp sound of the bell struck.

"Um...coming?"

The old fox seemed to be awakened by the bell, and said in a daze, "It's noon, can we have lunch?"

Jiang Cheng bowed his head and said, "I have already eaten. I just ate something on the way here. I thought you were in a hurry to call us, so I rushed to your residence."

Unexpectedly, the Marshal curled his lips and laughed twice: "Is it urgent to call you? You've been delayed for several days on the road. Tsk tsk, those who know will say that you came by train, and those who don't will think you are measuring your steps!"

Jiang Cheng chuckled and was about to change the subject, but he didn't expect the Marshal to straighten his body and stand up.

"Jiang Feilan, you are so brave...!" (End of this chapter)
