The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 286 Minister
safe place?
Now all directions are blocked by Yu Shanchang's troops. Is there any "safe zone" in the whole Luanzhou that the army dare not go to?

"Mr. Jiang, you..."

Zhang Tingxue hesitated for a moment, but the situation was urgent. Where could he run if he didn't listen to him?
Although she had no idea why these soldiers from Luanzhou arrested them, the astute Miss Zhang Qi knew from the "gentle treatment" just now that if they were really taken back, something terrible might be waiting for them.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Seeing that she was extremely nervous, Jiang Cheng chuckled, held her sweaty little hand tightly, turned around and ran to the far end of the main street.

"Are you trying to be a hero again?"

Xuecheng cursed, but seeing Hai Pingchuan, who was holding Cao Shiying, followed first, everyone else followed with a look of trust.
No matter how uneasy and hesitant he felt, he had no choice but to follow.

But with so many people running out, it was almost the same as being directly exposed. The soldiers who were searching the large area immediately discovered them and began a new round of pursuit.

What was surprising was that although these soldiers looked ferocious and shouted loudly, they were completely different from those black people, and not a single one of them fired a gun.

Just now when they were running away when the pursuers caught up with them, Jiang Cheng saw that they were planning to "capture them alive".

Taking advantage of this mentality, Jiang Cheng quickly led them into a magnificent Western building.

"Stop chasing me!"

The officer leading the group of soldiers suddenly realized the problem and hurriedly stopped his men.

It can’t be called a safe zone——

But the status of this building in front of us is much higher than that of the safe zone.

This is the French Embassy.

In modern history, Western powers opened the door to old China with their powerful ships and guns, and signed many unequal treaties with the impoverished and weak Qing Dynasty.

The embassies of the foreign powers were forbidden areas for the military - even if a war broke out with indiscriminate swords and guns, the warlords had to find a way to avoid those areas.

If you are really hurt, your good days will definitely be over, and God knows if you will be settled by foreigners one day.

But Jiang Cheng and his team are different: because of their cooperation with Fernando, their current relationship with the French is not close, but it is definitely friendly.

As soon as the French soldiers guarding the gate saw Yang Yucheng and Sun Zhengnan, they immediately opened the iron gate.

Panting, Jiang Cheng ran with his brothers into this large church-like building, and shouted a few words in all directions.

They were received by two French envoys, and soon Fernando, who lived here, came running over in his pajamas.

Sun Zhengnan gestured and explained the matter to him. The agent, who had already received part of the down payment, immediately expressed indignation at the brutality of the Luanzhou garrison.
And he immediately suggested to the minister that he should protect these fortune gods of his - after all, Renault was in a hurry to clear out its inventory, and as a salesman, he would make more than just a little profit from it.
If the subsequent payments are lost, all his income will be lost as well.

Seeing the envoy and the French businessman taking Yang Yucheng and Sun Zhengnan to the side for discussion, Zhang Tingxue raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng: "Master Jiang, why...why would they protect us?"

Only now did he realize that he was still tightly holding the girl's hand;

Now that I am in a safe place, the cold touch has warmed up a little.

He unconsciously loosened his hand. Before Jiang Cheng could reply, Hai Pingchuan on the side screamed, "Oh no, Miss Cao, Miss Cao fainted!"…………

Due to excessive blood loss and the shock, Cao Shiying was able to hold on while fleeing. However, as soon as he relaxed after entering the French Embassy, ​​he could no longer hold on.

Fortunately, Western medicine was quite reliable these days, and the ministers called her to diagnose and treat her injuries, and she soon recovered.

A reception was inevitable, and all the food, drinks, and daily necessities, including accommodation for them and the guards, were arranged... There is really nothing wrong with the saying that money makes the world go round.

The short-term safety did not make Jiang Cheng and his friends relax, but the soldiers surrounding the embassy made them tense again.

"This is fucking hell. Judging from their attitude, they won't stop until they catch us."

Xuecheng, who had not expressed his opinion, had taken a shower and changed his clothes. He stood in front of the painted glass window and looked out for a moment. Then he said to Jiang Cheng nervously, "What should we do? We can't leave the city!"

Jiang Cheng's face was stern.

Do I need to tell you... Anyone with eyes can see it, right?

Seeing that every corner of the front wall and backyard was surrounded by people, Jiang Cheng looked unhappy: "Now I don't understand why Lao Yu wants to arrest me--"

"No, Yu Shanchang will not go out of his way to make trouble and become an enemy of our Fengtian Army. I think this order was given by either Xiao Xu or his old Duan."

Xue Cheng was startled and turned his eyes wide open along with Hai Pingchuan on the other side: "You are... thinking in the wrong direction, right?"

Hai Pingchuan also echoed, "That's right, Feilan, why did Old Duan and Little Xu arrest us? Aren't they close allies of our Fengtian Army?"

In this world, there are never any eternal allies, only eternal interests.

Jiang Cheng's eyes grew darker, but his mind was thinking rapidly like a movie.

In order to win over the Marshal, Lao Duan gave the 4000 million worth of equipment to the Marshal as a favor, and also suppressed Feng Huafu of the Zhili faction;
And now the Marshal and his direct line Cao Saner have also started flirting with each other, clearly trying to play both sides in the dispute between the government and the parliament...

He is no longer planning to take advantage of others. I am afraid that under the repeated power struggles of Yang Yuting and others, the Marshal will not only be content to be a blind bear outside the pass, but will even have to enter the pass to seek the capital!

"Not so fast."

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng whispered unconsciously, but then he thought of something, "By the way, did Miss Cao come to Luanzhou this time without any guards?"

Xuecheng was confused by his question. However, he was used to his brother's rapid thoughts, so he continued, "This... I heard from Miss Cao that her family was worried about the girls going on blind dates because they thought it was unsafe."

"First, a guard squad was arranged for me - but my family said it was not enough, and then they said something else... I shouldn't have followed that blind bear from outside the Great Wall to Luanzhou in the first place. How could a girl come to me?"

"There should be a large army outside the city coming to support us, right?"

As he spoke, Xuecheng was quite unhappy, "Look, the Zhijun people are quick-witted and have a long-term vision. From this, we can see that Old Duan and Little Xu are going to turn against each other!"

"If you ask me, the number of soldiers we brought with us when we entered the Pass was still too small - I should have asked my uncle to arrange for at least one brigade to follow us!"
