After looking at her indifferent expression again, Jiang Cheng picked up the chopsticks.

"Why, Master Jiang, don't you suspect that I poisoned you?"

Upon hearing what his concubine said, Jiang Cheng stopped eating.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at her lightly again... Jiang Cheng could clearly see the persistence in this girl's eyes.

"We are in Jinzhou, and this is my sixth uncle's home, with guards everywhere. Did you really poison me? Do you want to die?"

Looking back at her with cold eyes, Jiang Cheng picked up a piece of fried meat that was greasy inside and out, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and said, "Miss Duan, you are so smart, you can't be so stupid, right?"

At this moment, her guards were all waiting outside. Perhaps there were only some things she would be willing to say?
He was looking at her, but he didn't expect that the girl would suddenly kneel down on the ground.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he regained his composure in an instant.

Taking his eyes off her, Jiang Cheng turned all his attention to the delicious food in front of him.

Maybe it was really as she said, I was starving after being busy since early morning... These delicacies were delicious.

Jiang Cheng eats slowly, but eats a lot.

Especially the white steamed buns with a little corn flour, paired with the tasty meat and vegetables, made him feel happy.

During the whole process when his index finger was twitching, Duan Xinyu just knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Only when Jiang Cheng put down his chopsticks contentedly did she carefully lean over and kowtow to Jiang Cheng before she spoke softly, "Master, I know... According to Master Shuai's arrangement, Xinyu will be yours for the rest of her life."

"I won't make any excuses for myself. After all, I believed what Minamoto Yoshimasa said and almost hurt you. But you saved my daughter and me in Jinzhou. I..."

Jiang Cheng grabbed a white napkin from the corner of the table and interrupted him without even turning his head: "I'm a straightforward person - you can forget about the first three chapters."

"So far, I haven't touched you... I also made it clear that it's not entirely because I still need your father; it's just that I feel,"

At this point, he suddenly turned around and stared coldly at his concubine who was kneeling on the ground, "You are you, the Japanese are the Japanese——"

"It's possible for a person to be confused for a while! I still say the same thing, if you behave yourself, I can ensure your life's safety."

Duan Xinyu avoided his gaze, gritted her teeth and said softly, "Master, I...I want to go back to the capital, is that ok?"

As if she had made up her mind again, she said the second half of the sentence, "I lost my mother when I was young, and it was my aunt who took great pains to raise me! The news from the capital said that my aunt was seriously ill and was taking care of me. I think..."

After all, she didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but Jiang Cheng said slowly: "Your excuse seems a bit lame, right?"

Duan Xinyu said nothing, tears welling up in her eyes.

"But if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Standing up, he called out to his guards outside the gate twice, and then Jiang Cheng gave orders to pick a few good men to escort Duan Xinyu into Beijing.

Two hours after sending her away, the Rehe Army sent a telegram to Jinzhou, saying that all the troops had moved into Jinan City.

In addition to following Jiang Cheng's orders and unloading the baggage to provide relief to the victims, they also began to repair the lines, maintain post-war order, and help the lower-class citizens resume production, etc.

All the work was proceeding in an orderly manner. Jiang Cheng also reported the situation to the Marshal and reported every detail of the negotiations with Machino Takema.

"General, I've let the Russians get a pretty good idea of ​​the situation in Shandong." Jiang Cheng continued, "What is certain is that Feng Guozhang led our Fengtian Army into the pass with the intention of using force to intimidate others..."

"I think they are more trying to sow discord between Japan and our Fengtian Army - after all, whether it is the war in Siberia or the various developments in Northeast China, these damn guys are still our biggest supporters at this stage."

“Once conflicts arise in Shandong, whether in Siberia or the Northeast, it will trigger a series of subsequent troubles.”

The old fox's voice sneered from the other side: "You little bastard, you didn't just think of this now, did you?"

"Feng Guozhang led us into the pass, saying he was going to use force to intimidate us, and he was going to get this country or that alliance to support us in demanding the rights and interests of Shandong. To put it bluntly,"

"They just want to put us and the Japanese in a cage and bite us back and forth! Damn it, I won't fall for it."

"Boy, you did a good job. As long as we can take root in Shandong, it doesn't matter whether the territory is big or small. The important thing is not to provoke the Japanese and make them turn against us."

In fact, after Jiang Cheng figured this out, he decided to learn from the Marshal:

On the one hand, some fresh bait, such as winter clothes and quilts and other supplies that Siberia continues to provide;

In addition, we continued to follow the examples in Jilin and other places and began to gradually attack and erode the power of the Japanese devils.

In addition, with the end of World War I, how could the old powers such as Britain, France and the United States tolerate the Japanese to dominate China?
As long as you know how to act in a prudent manner, you can still suppress Japan with the help of Britain, France, the United States and other countries... without getting your hands dirty!

After talking for a few more words, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone.

But just as he turned his gaze to Zhang Tinglan beside him, the latter frowned and asked: "Feilan, why did you let Duan Xinyu go?"

I originally wanted to discuss Shandong's next action plan with him, but who knew he would mention women.

Jiang Cheng's eyebrows twitched, but he still said nonchalantly: "Why, her adoptive mother is seriously ill, why can't she send her back to take care of her?"

Zhang Tinglan was quite speechless: "You really believe it! I have never heard of such news in the capital."

Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly: "I'm not stupid, of course I don't believe it... But this woman is basically useless. Staying with me will only make Hui Xin and Xue Er angry."

"Besides, Duan Zhigui is a two-faced person. I think it's a nuisance and a nuisance for my daughter to stay with me."

Zhang Tinglan stopped talking.

However, just as the two were discussing Shandong's next course of action, Duan Xinyu withdrew.

I was originally happy that I had finally gotten rid of a burden, but I didn't expect her to come back.

He said nothing, just pretended to be terrified, bowed to Jiang Cheng, and then ran back to the room carrying his small wicker box.

It was not until Xu Fushan explained the situation that Jiang Cheng, who was confused, suddenly realized:

While they were traveling south on the railway, they actually encountered Japanese killers!

Their intention was to kill Duan Xinyu, but fortunately, although Jiang Cheng brought only a few guards this time, they were all good fighters.

When they encountered the attack, they immediately organized a counterattack, killing two and capturing one alive. (End of this chapter)
