Troubled Times

"Uncle called to say that he is working with Zhuang Wentao." Fang Han sat by the bed, and Jiang Ying was still asleep when he was shaken awake

"Just decide for yourself, don't ask me, I'm not the coach." Jiang Ying gritted his teeth and sat up, picked up the pillow and threw it over.

"I won't go, you go talk to Zhuang Wentao, be careful" Jiang Ying instructed

"Don't worry, I think the sincerity of this person's cooperation is still great." Fang Han put the pillow back for Jiang Ying again.

In the evening, after having dinner with Jiang Ying, Fang Han went to Feng Die Xuan in the banquet building to find Zhuang Wentao

"Brother Fang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, but you just got rid of that Miss Cao's family?" Zhuang Wentao blushed successfully because of Fang Han's words

"Ahem, brother Fang was joking, let's talk about business." Zhuang Wentao wiped his sweaty forehead, making Fang Han a little amused

"Wen Tao can make sure that everything in this agreement counts?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhuang knows that Brother Fang is worried about my father. I can assure you that my mother will take my father away when things are done." Zhuang Wentao said firmly, and Fang Han told him about Jiang Yihong's agreement to cooperate, and Jiang Yihong agreed. In addition to Fang Han's [-] troops already here, add another [-] soldiers and horses, and cooperate with the banker until Dongying is expelled from the Northeast

After the two finalized the details, it was already midnight. After saying goodbye at the gate of the banquet building, the two left in opposite directions.

"Why are you here?" It was just a corner, and a touch of bright red successfully caught Zhuang Wentao's sight. I remember that day when he touched the bright red, he noticed that someone had bad intentions for her, so he was here. Knowing that he had no chance of winning, he rushed to protect her, but in the end, the person in front of him repelled the gangsters. I don't know if the person's last sentence "the grace of saving life should be promised by your body" is to him or to him. Said.

"It's so late, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go home alone." Cao Hongying shook the whip in her hand

"You, go home early, your parents should be worried." Zhuang Wentao was a little helpless, the little girl in front of him was really loved and hated, with such a poisonous mouth.

"It's okay, my parents said that if I don't bring a husband back, they will sever ties with me." Cao Hongying continued to rest the whip in her hand nonchalantly.

Zhuang Wentao had no choice but to let her follow him. He didn't want her to go back to the inn alone so late, so he asked his servants to clean up a guest room for her. Cao Hongying didn't refuse, and stayed directly.

"buckle"

"come in"

"Father, it's finished." At this moment, Zhuang Xun's study room was still brightly lit, and Zhuang Xun sat on the pear tree chair, and it looked like he had been waiting for Zhuang Wentao for a long time.

"Okay, after so many years, I'm finally free, and I don't have to be afraid that when I go underground, I won't have the face to see my ancestors." The corners of Zhuang Xun's eyes were a little red. Over the years, Zhuang Xun had wanted to maintain the peace on the surface of the Northeast and also to keep Lin Daru He could only pretend to seek refuge with the Japanese, because he was isolated by the warlords, and there was no one to ask for help, so he was forced to attack Beiting by the Dongying people before, but now it seems that he has created an opportunity for himself.

"The young marshal of the Fang family is also a character, even if Dongbei is in his hands later, I am relieved." Zhuang Xun nodded

"By the way, if you want to like Miss Cao, marry her. Don't worry about what other warlords think. Anyway, I won't be a threat if I throw away this skin." Zhuang Xun said to Zhuang Wentao who was about to turn around and leave. Unchecked nodded and left.

"Did we talk about it last night?"

"Yes, it's settled, but we won't be able to leave in the near future. When the [-] soldiers and horses sent by my father are added to our original [-] and the banker's. [-], no, it should be [-], Zhuang Wentao said that [-] were secretly trained in a place unknown to the Dongying people."

"Zhuang Wentao doesn't have this ability. I guess it might be Zhuang Xun, but I don't know what kind of medicine their father and son sell in this gourd." Jiang Ying shook her head

"It's okay, judging from this matter, Zhuang Xun should support Zhuang Wentao, that's enough, maybe we can't make a conclusion too early."

"Then tell Zhuang Wentao to find a place to resettle our 2 people first. This is a tug-of-war, sometimes." Dongying people are not newcomers in the Northeast, and they are not so easy to clear.

"Let's fight, if you don't fight again, you'll be in Beiting." Internal turmoil and external worries, although the internal strife should be resolved first, but there are too many warlords, so it's not so easy to solve, let alone if you don't do anything, Dongpu's next goal is probably Beiting. booth.

Fang Han Jiangying changed the inn on the second day, and Jiang Ying can finally change back to men's clothes

"It's so awkward to wear skirts these days," Jiang Ying complained, and ate the snacks that had been taken out of her chest like hell

"Young Master Jiang still looks good in a skirt, it's a pity" Fang Han just caught the teacup that hit the door

"Murdering your own husband is really tough"

"Go to your own husband, the young master is your husband-in-law"

"Huh? Young Master Jiang really wanted to plot against me a long time ago." Fang Han joked after hearing Jiang Ying's words

half a month later

"Mr. Jiang, someone is looking for you downstairs, they say they are your family members"

"Okay, I'll come right away, you go down" There was a cold voice from inside the door, the waiter nodded and left.

"Could it be that Zhao Guang brought the army here?"

"According to the time, it's probably just a few days, and I think it should be here," Fang Han replied

"Okay, then let's go down, don't keep Vice General Zhao waiting." Jiang Ying picked up the gown on the shelf and put it on

.............................

"Mother? Why are you here?" Jiang Ying had already seen Yang Xinrou in a black fox fur cloak on the stairs, and a butterfly hairpin that was about to fly was pulling up all her long hair. The cheongsam fluttered.

"Why don't you come here to support you?" A faint female voice sounded beside Yang Xinrou

Jiang Ying saw that it was Mrs. Zhuang whom she saw in the theater that day.

"Mengdie, did I act so obviously? Obviously I came to attend your flower viewing feast, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can only communicate by letter." Yang Xinrou took the handkerchief and held it up. Lin Mengdie's hand showed an aggrieved expression.

Jiang Ying was stunned by the side, she had never seen her sturdy mother like this.

"Okay, okay, I really have nothing to do with you, you and your two nephews can live with me today, my old village has already made people ready to take care of Mrs. Jiang."

"That's a good thing, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Yang Xinrou got up and pulled Mrs. Zhuang out as she spoke, without looking at the two people behind her.

"Well, mother, this is..." Jiang Ying was dragged by Fang Han to follow before she finished speaking.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhuang will definitely send us the things in the inn," Fang Han comforted

"Why did my mother give birth to such a stupid son?" Yang Xinrou walked in front and complained to Lin Mengdie

"It's enough to have a shrewd one, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with?" Lin Mengdie smiled and didn't see the dark light in Yang Xinrou's eyes

"Yeah, one shrewd one is enough......"

..................................

"Mother, Aunt Yang"

"Brother Fang, this is Young Master Jiang, right?" Zhuang Wentao was already waiting at the door.

"Wen Tao, this is Jiang Ying, this time it's an official meeting." Fang Han pushed Jiang Ying forward

"Okay, stop greeting at the gate, I'm exhausted from walking all the way." Yang Xinrou shook Lin Mengdie's hand

"Okay, let's all go in, your Aunt Yang is tired"

"Mengdie, it feels like I'm back in the girl's school again, the two of us went in and out together." Yang Xinrou showed nostalgic expression on his face

"Yeah, you were a very naughty little girl back then," Lin Mengdie squinted at her

"Only you, Lin Mengdie, can hold it, okay?" The two of them seemed to have really returned to the past, as if the gap they hadn't seen for many years had dissipated, and the juniors behind saw this and left space for the two of them, and went together study

"Brother Fang had no choice but to conceal something before. After all, if I say that the expulsion of the foreign invaders is my father's wish, even I can't come up with evidence to convince myself." Zhuang Wentao expressed his apology to Fang Han, and Fang Han nodded to show his understanding .

"My father has already gone to Dongwu in secret." Dongwu City, the military center of the Dongying people, is also the place where Zhuang Xun secretly trains troops. This cooperation is to let Zhuang Wentao bring 3 people to cause turmoil in Donghua City, and then the rest The [-] soldiers and horses under him secretly took Dongwu City.

"Okay, then we will set off for Dongwu in a while."

"Yeah." Zhuang Wentao nodded and walked towards the map

"Here, the main city of Dongwu City, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We will be discovered as soon as our large troops appear." Zhuang Wentao turned to another direction after finishing speaking

"Here, we have reached the edge of Dongwu. It is called Xiaotun Village. My father has secretly trained soldiers in this village all these years. Everyone in the village is a soldier. They farm during the day, train soldiers and dig tunnels leading to the main city of Dongwu at night."

"Now, it is finally connected to the underground pipeline in the main city of Dongwu." Zhuang Wentao had a faint smile on his face.

"This is a great plan," Jiang Ying clapped his hands

"Storing troops during the day and digging tunnels at night is really a good strategy"

"In fact, we can lead people to encircle Dongwu City in a fair and aboveboard manner. There is no need to disturb Donghua City. As long as Dongwu City strengthens its external defenses, the number of troops in the city will naturally decrease," Jiang Ying said. Since there are other ways, there is no need to let such a peaceful Donghua City fell into turmoil, Zhuang Wentao glanced at him gratefully

"My father just wanted to do his best for the people in the Northeast, but unfortunately he has been slow to do anything because of our burdens," Zhuang Wentao said with emotion.
