The passers-by are vicious

The assistant soldier who came with Duan Hangjin explained, "Qingyang where the Xie family is located and Baicheng where the Gu family is located both fell this morning. The commander-in-chief asked me to tell Miss Xie that I can't send her back."

"Young Marshal has already taken people to inspect the cities on the border of the Duan family."

"The Marshal asked me to inform my wife that if you need to go out, please notify me to bring someone to accompany you." Duan Hangjin spoke while pressing down the brim of his military cap.

Jiang Wanwan didn't expect that she had just used it to threaten Xie Wanning yesterday, but today that bunch of maggots started to take action.

Now that both the Xie and Gu families are gone, Xie Wan Ning has nowhere to go for a while and can only live in the Marshal's Mansion.

"I understand..." Jiang Wanwan nodded, her expression rarely becoming serious.

As the war intensified, the entire Duan Mansion entered a state of alert. Patrols in Jinghai City became more frequent, and surveillance was set up at all entrances to prevent Japanese from sneaking in.

Liyuan Theater

Everyone was waiting for the show to begin, when suddenly a group of soldiers in blue uniforms entered with guns and stood guard at the door.

Following the astonished gazes of the audience, Jiang Wanwan, dressed in misty-colored cheongsams, and Xie Wanning walked to the seat Jiang Hao had reserved long ago and sat down.

Duan Hangjin stood behind Jiang Wanwan, holding up the brim of his hat and keeping a close eye on his surroundings.

After all, the situation is tense now. Japan has never given up its covetousness on Jinghai, and its hatred for the Duan family has reached a deeper level. They are bound to want revenge.

"Sister, you haven't been out for a long time. Today we are going to perform your favorite Drunken Concubine."

Jiang Hao leaned over to Jiang Wanwan's ear and whispered. Then, with a "eh eh eh" sound, the show began.

"The sea-island-ice-wheel-begins-to-turn."

A figure in opera costume walked out from the backstage, swinging a handkerchief in his hand and singing opera in a melodious voice.

From the moment Jiang Wanwan entered the venue, her graceful figure and charming appearance caused other spectators to whisper about her.

At the end of the seats, a short man with a pale face stared at Jiang Wanwan's position and asked in fluent Chinese: "Who is that person, and why are there so many blue-clothed soldiers following him?"

The middle-aged man in black sitting next to the man looked around and whispered, "Mr. Dong Ben, that woman is the wife of Duan Ye, the commander of Jinghai Duan."

When Dong Ben heard Duan Ye, his expression changed slightly and his voice became a little higher: "Marshal Duan is the Chinese who blocked the Japanese Empire's advance."

As he spoke, his gaze on Jiang Wanwan's back became even more intense.

Duan Hangjin, who was standing behind Jiang Wanwan's seat, seemed to have noticed something. He put his hand on the gun at his waist and looked back in the direction of Dong Ben.

The middle-aged man was frightened and lowered his head quickly. Dong Ben was also frightened by Duan Hangjin's cold eyes.

Just when Duan Hangjin was about to ask someone to question Dong Ben and the middle-aged man, Xie Wan Ning suddenly said, "Adjutant Duan, why don't you sit down and watch the show together?"

As she spoke, her pretty face was even more shy as she glanced at Duan Hangjin's cold and handsome face.

Duan Hangjin just held down the brim of his hat, and said without any fluctuation on his serious face: "My duty is to protect the madam."

Being interrupted by her, Duan Hangjin's gaze fell on Jiang Wanwan who was sitting in front of him, and he forgot to ask someone to check Dong Ben's identity.

Seeing that Duan Hangjin had stopped moving and no longer looked over there, Dong Ben breathed a sigh of relief and stopped looking over there.

The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his head with a towel and advised quietly: "Mr. Dong Ben, she is the apple of Duan Ye's eye. We'd better not move. Otherwise, if Duan Ye gets angry, I'm afraid we'll all be finished."

As if he felt that his previous demeanor was very embarrassing, Dong Ben said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "That's why we must arrest her. I want to let Duan Ye see the consequences of going against our Japanese Empire."

The middle-aged man swallowed his breath and began to hesitate whether to report him.

However, thinking of his son falling into the hands of the people in Baicheng, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said nothing, but his heart became heavier and more guilty.

Jiang Wanwan listened to the play on the stage attentively, her expression gradually relaxed, and the fingers on her legs couldn't help but click along with the tune.

Seeing that Jiang Wanwan was happy to hear what she said, Jiang Hao also crossed his legs with a happy expression and hummed along.

Until the song ends, there will be a break of a few minutes.

Jiang Haocai told Jiang Wanwan that this time he came not only to see her, but also to tell Duan Ye something, but he couldn't go to Duan's house at the moment.

I hope I can trouble Duan Hangjin to tell Duan Ye, and then Jiang Hao nodded at Duan Hangjin.

He roughly said: 1. There has been some progress in the penicillin he had studied before. Although the effect is not as good as that of foreigners, it can also achieve a similar effect.

I hope Duan Ye can send someone to get it.

2. It was his men who discovered that there seemed to be strangers passing through the port recently, and he hoped that Duan Ye would be alert and send people to investigate.

3. I just hope that Duan Ye can protect Jiang Wanwan and guard Jinghai.

"Look—the king—is sleeping soundly in his clothes in the tent~."

Just as the two finished their conversation, a new play began, Farewell My Concubine.

Just when the opera was halfway through, Xiao Si came to serve snacks and tea, and the first place he went to was naturally where Jiang Wanwan and the others were.

Xiao Si lowered his head, and when he put down his high point, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wanwan. He was immediately amazed and almost spilled the tea in a panic.

Fortunately, Duan Hangjin was always paying attention to Jiang Wanwan, and used his hat to block the splashing tea before it fell on Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but glance at Duan Hangjin. He already had that cold expression on his face, but the veins on the back of his hand holding the hat were bulging, which showed how quickly Duan Hangjin reacted.

Xie Wan Ning who was sitting next to her was not so lucky. The tea splashed directly on her chest which was really unsightly.

She stood up with a look of shock. Xiao Si also realized that he had caused trouble and quickly bent down to apologize, and said that Xie Wan Ning could go to the lounge backstage to change clothes.

Xie Wanning thought for a moment and looked at the neat military jacket Duan Hangjin was wearing, and an idea came to her mind: "Adjutant Duan, can you lend me your jacket?"

After saying this, she lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, a little embarrassed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xie Wan Ning was interested in Duan Hangjin.

Unfortunately, Duan Hangjin didn't even look at her. Instead, he took off his coat and, in front of Xie Wan Ning's happy eyes... put it on Jiang Wan Wan's legs.

"Madam, be careful of catching a cold."

It turned out that the smoky cheongsam Jiang Wanwan was wearing today exposed part of her legs due to the way she sat on the chair.

Jiang Wanwan often casually hangs out in Duan's house and doesn't mind exposing herself at all.

But Duan Hangjin noticed it, and he took the opportunity when Xie Wan Ning asked to borrow her coat to put it on Jiang Wan Wan's legs.

The smile on Xie Wan Ning's face froze. She looked at Duan Hangjin and then at Jiang Wan Wan, and without paying any attention to the water splashing on her chest, she sat down with an unnatural expression and remained motionless.
