God of Fast Transmigration, don't run away

Chapter 178
It seemed that a war was really about to start. During this period of time, Bai Mei felt a little different.

The soldiers in the Marshal's Mansion were still as usual, but she could feel a bit of depression from inside, like the calm before the storm.

Jiang Chen also came back later and later, sometimes he didn't even come back at night, and Baimei saw him less and less.

When Baimei was wandering around the Marshal's Mansion, she found a corner, a remote corner, and the patrolling soldiers rarely paid attention to it.

She hid under the corner of the wall, and when she listened with her ears, she could hear some sounds from outside.

There seemed to be a few people chatting behind the wall, sometimes talking about homely things, and sometimes gossiping.

The reason why Baimei noticed this was because they vaguely heard them mention Marshal Jiang.

"I heard that the front military area is in chaos, and several of my old brothers have come back."

"A deserter?"

"What happened to the deserters? These days, if you don't flee, you die. Who wants to die?"

"Yeah, how did the fight start?"

"I don't know very well. Some say that the two warlords, Zhang and Chen, are fighting for territory. Some say it's because of a woman. Some say that the two marshals are having an affair. Now they're at odds."

"What a mess."

"Well, anyway, if we fight on the top, we will suffer from the bottom."

"Who says it's not? But what's going on in Jiangcheng? Marshal Jiang has no conflict of interest with them."

"These conflicts of interest are all for a while. If you say no today, you can just say any excuse tomorrow."

"That's true, but you haven't seen the evacuation of those powerful families?"

"Those big men, why are you withdrawing? If they really call, at most Marshal Jiang will get off his horse. Those aristocratic families must have taken care of it with the other two warlords early in the morning."

"I heard that the warlord surnamed Zhang seems to have some connection with the Zhang family in Jiangcheng."

"I've heard that too, so people don't worry about it anymore. Only ordinary people like us worry about it."

"Oh, I don't know when it will be the end."

Today, Baimei came to listen to the corner again, and sure enough, the time when she went was just right, and the few people were chatting happily.

Compared with the nervousness and worry in the past, they are obviously much happier today.

"What happened just now? A street was blocked, and there were so many officers and soldiers."

"You don't know yet? Marshal Jiang is going to marry that young lady of the Zhang family."

"Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Hey, who dares to spread the word about the things above? And I heard that the young lady has just returned to China."

"The ones escorted by soldiers on that street just now were all betrothal gifts?"

"Isn't it? The marshal's move is different from us ordinary people."

"This is a good thing. Zhang Jiang's marriage is actually a union of two warlords. Then the war may not be able to be fought."

"How to say?"

"Look, the Zhang family is related to the warlord Zhang. Now that the Zhang family is married to Marshal Jiang, isn't that the two are tied together? If there is a real fight, who will Marshal Jiang support? He must support his in-laws."

"It seems to be true, but I heard that there is already a woman in the marshal's mansion?"

"I seem to have seen it in the first month, and was taken out by the marshal."

"Hey, those officials, isn't that a bunch of concubines? It's not normal for our marshal to be a woman."

"Besides, that woman was born in Qianrenle, a prostitute, and she is already a good concubine. You still want to be the wife of the lord?"

"Indeed, it's still that Miss Zhang's family is on par with our marshal. She is a beautiful lady and she has seen a lot of world."

"Exactly that."

What the next few people said, Baimei didn't listen at all, her mind was always stuck on Marshal Jiang, Miss Zhang's marriage.

Miss Zhang Jia, she thought about it, and only one person popped into her mind, is that Miss Zhang Jingxuan with extraordinary temperament?
The whole afternoon, Baimei sat blankly in the corner, even forgetting that it was dark.

The food delivery person in the kitchen didn't see her. He thought she was going to play and didn't care. When he came back to close the market, he found that there was still no one, so he thought it was wrong.

They found soldiers all over the house to find someone, but she was in a dead corner of the Marshal's Mansion, and it was dark, so no one really found her.

Such a shock was directly transmitted to Jiang Chen. He was planning a battle plan with his subordinates at that time. Hearing this, he raised his legs and rushed to the mansion without saying a word.

The Marshal's Mansion was protected by him in an airtight manner, and now even the one named Bai Lan was shut out by him. Normally, his stupid woman should have nothing to do.

The entire Marshal's Mansion was brightly lit, and he searched around himself, but he couldn't find her, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

His face was as dark as water, and he directly directed the soldiers to go out and look for it.

The concierge said that he did not see her go out, nor did he see anyone with a suspicious figure coming in and out. Except for officers and soldiers, no one else came in or out throughout the day.

Jiang Chen's eyes looked at the high wall of the courtyard, which was very high, and he specially installed many blades on it, so no one could easily climb over it, let alone take someone with him.

He looked at the writing on the table, the brush and ink were still on the side, every word was complete, obviously, she walked out after finishing writing.

On weekdays, apart from practicing calligraphy, she also practiced embroidery, yes, embroidery.

Jiang Chen turned around and strode out. In the place where Bai Mei often practiced embroidery, he only found some needles and threads, all neatly placed in baskets, but the embroidery shed and the piece of white silk she had often held in her hands the past few days were missing.

She said that she would embroider something nice and make it into a purse for him.

He turned around and walked out again, unknowingly walked to the most remote path in the mansion.

All the soldiers were sent out, and the whole mansion was very quiet at this moment. Suddenly, he moved his ears, as if there was some sound.

Jiang Chen followed the direction of the voice step by step, the closer it became, the clearer it was his woman's voice, and she was crying.

When he strode over, the stupid woman was still curled up in a corner, sobbing softly.

Seeing him, the woman even wanted to run away.

It's a pity that she didn't know how long she sat, her legs and feet were already numb, and she couldn't even stand up, so she was picked up by his waist and walked towards the bedroom.

When he got to the light, he saw that the woman's eyes were swollen from crying and were as red as walnuts. She was still crying. When she saw him, her tears seemed to fall even more fiercely.

"It's ugly," he said.

Bai Mei, who was still trying to restrain herself, finally couldn't help it and cried loudly.

He recruited soldiers, let those soldiers who went out to search for people come back, and then took the crying woman back to the room.

Seeing her voice fade away, he asked, "Are you still crying, huh?"

She didn't speak, her eyes were red.

"Why don't you eat?" He couldn't help scowling again.
