The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 288 Meeting
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was stunned holding the phone.

This old fox actually took Yang Yuting to mediate the matter immediately after hearing the news? Siping had been fighting with the Jilin Army and the Japanese before, so what was he thinking?

Don't you care about this matter at all?
This……

Jiang Cheng vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Before, these old guys were clearly deploying troops around Siping... It would have been fine if they didn't help Feng Delin in Zhengjiatun, but they didn't lend a helping hand to him and Liaoyuan either.

He was extremely dissatisfied with these old-school figures at the time, and even...

But now, listening to Jiang Dengxuan's words, Jiang Cheng vaguely felt that something was wrong.

At that time, Siping was a territory that the Fengtian Army had just conquered. It was very strange for them to just sit back and watch the fighting without helping.

If he was guarding against the Jiang family, and wanted to form an alliance with them and give them rewards afterwards, or even let Jiang Feilan incorporate his troops, that would be even more wrong.

"Brother Chaoliu, this handsome man..."

Jiang Cheng still wanted to ask his confidant, but Jiang Dengxuan seemed to understand his subtext and whispered, "Feilan, you are resentful because the commander and Chief Wu didn't save your Siping, right?"

"Indeed, Siping was almost reduced to ruins by the Japanese and the Jilin Army, and countless soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded—"

"But do you know that at that time, besides being suppressed by the Japanese, the Russians also brought in the British and the French to watch over the entire Fengtian!"

"Alas, we all know how bad the situation was at that time. Otherwise, why did the commander allow you to recruit troops this time, and also reward you and give you benefits to win you over?"

It turned out to be the case.

Because of the misunderstanding, Jiang Cheng couldn't help feeling more or less guilty towards this elder whom he had always respected.

Silly boy, run away quickly when you see a lot of people!
Otherwise, your clever head will be in trouble... Take my little Liuzi and run away quickly.

Deep in his mind, the gentleman's winking smile flashed through his mind, and Jiang Cheng actually felt a little sour.

Shaking his head to get rid of these distracting thoughts, he lowered his voice and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Chao Liu... Since Master Shuai has made arrangements, I won't waste any more words."

Jiang Chengxuan's gentle laughter came: "That's right! You, just stay in Luanzhou steadily. In the next one or two days, Xu Shuzheng will definitely release you."

"But you must be careful - there is a fierce war in the capital right now. Even if Old Duan agrees to release the people, you must be careful on your way back."

What he said was true. The current dispute between the government and the parliament had pushed the conflict between the Zhi and Anhui families to its peak.

Whether it was Lao Duan or Lao Feng and Cao Saner, they were all trying their best to win over Marshal Zhang outside the Great Wall.

They knew very well that the two sides were evenly matched at this moment... and the man named Zhang became a key bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes silently, revealing a calculating smile that did not belong to his age.

Oh, but come to think of it, regardless of whether it is Lao Duan or Feng Huafu, can they really look up to the Marshal? They just treat us as blind bears from outside the Great Wall...

“Feilan, Feilan!”

Yang Yucheng's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and behind him, in addition to Sun Zhengnan, there was also Zhang Tingxue.

"What happened?"

It was clear that they were a little panicked, but Jiang Cheng deliberately smiled and said, "What kind of expressions do you all have? Are the French going to chase us away?"

They knew that he was just pretending to be relaxed as a superior, but how could they, his staff, take his words seriously?
Sun Zhengnan's eyes darkened but he still said, "Master Jiang, the garrison commander of Luanzhou, Yu Shanchang, sent a message saying that he wants to meet you." Jiang Cheng was stunned and laughed, "Now? To meet me, Jiang Cheng? Haha... Old Yu is really interesting!"

Everything else is easy to clean up. He, Yu Shanchang, can personally order them to stay in the hotel. Xuecheng and the two young ladies were also detained by him from the theater...

Add to that the soldiers outside, how could he explain it?
"Then let him come... I want to see what this garrison commander can say."

But surprisingly, Sun Zhengnan, the chief of staff, said: "Master Jiang, maybe I didn't make myself clear."

"Yu Shanchang asked you to go meet him..."

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng did not answer this time, but stared at Sun Zhengnan with an almost scrutinizing look.

"Let's meet—why, does he have any other requests?"

"Let's go to the meeting alone."

…………

In fact, Jiang Cheng knew very well that even if they avoided Yu Shanchang now... they probably wouldn't be able to leave Luanzhou.

Besides, how much protection can the French give them?
Indeed, under the unequal conditions of extraterritoriality, neither the Zhili clique nor the Anhui clique dared to embarrass these foreign leaders;
But it is impossible to completely ignore the local tyrants. Fernando has been hinting at "actively communicating" both explicitly and implicitly.

After some hesitation, Jiang Cheng took Zhang Tingxue to the appointment as agreed. Yu Shanchang asked on the phone that he should take Miss Cao along.

But Cao Shiying injured his thigh, so Zhang Tingxue was the only one who could take his place.

"Are you scared?"

A car arrived as scheduled, and Jiang Cheng pulled her into the car with one hand.

The driver was an officer with the rank of lieutenant. He was big and strong and looked fierce.

"It's okay, what can he do to me?"

Zhang Tingxue pretended to be calm, "I just can't believe that a dignified Anhui officer can really bully a weak woman like me."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled but did not answer. This young lady from Zhang Zuoxiang's family made him more interested.

In silence all the way, the car slowly drove out of the heavily surrounded French embassy and sped along the main street of Luanzhou towards Yu Shanchang's brigade headquarters.

Seeing that the brigade guards at this moment were twice as many as usual, Miss Seven, who was used to the military, was a little nervous.

Jiang Cheng touched the Browning pressed inside his military boots, his eyes more determined than ever before.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Ming and his guards quickly ran up to open the door, with a slightly bitter smile on his face: "Master Jiang, you...are here?"

Jiang Cheng looked at him kindly, but his eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce, and then he said coldly: "This old Yu put on such a big show, is it targeting me, Jiang Feilan?"

Zhang Ming was speechless due to his aura. Jiang Cheng looked around at the guards who were baring their fangs and claws. He gently grabbed Zhang Tingxue's hand and let her hold his arm, then quickly walked past these people without paying any attention.

He stepped steadily into the gate of the brigade headquarters, but before he walked into Yu Shanchang's gate under the guidance of Zhang Ming, Jiang Cheng saw two new round wooden pillars erected on an open space opposite the gate.

Before he could understand what was happening, several shirtless men, as if they had received some signal, suddenly pulled out a one-meter-long whip from a bucket and began to whip him fiercely.

Snapped!
Along with a crisp sound, a hair-raising scream came from the wooden pillar.
