The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 292 Transferring Conflicts
Naturally, this well-mannered concubine gave a warm and considerate reception.

"Hey Feilan, now that you're back, you must stay at home for a few more days. Before, Shuaiye kept complaining that there hasn't been any bustle at home for a long time!"

"How is it going? Is the entry going smoothly?"

While speaking, she looked at Zhang Tingxue and Cao Shiying ambiguously, but she also felt resentful in her heart:
He ran home first after finishing his studies, went upstairs and locked the door with resignation and anger on his face, and ignored everyone during the whole process;

Shouyi and other concubines were just confused, and then the group of people who arrived home saw something was wrong.

But what can they say?

Given the current situation, nothing we do or say will help... Let's wait for Master Shuai to come back and make the decision.

Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. Except for Jiang Cheng who was sitting calmly, everyone else had their own thoughts.

When the Marshal returned, the sun was almost setting...Except for himself, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Jinghui and Zhang Zuoxiang followed closely behind.

After sitting down and exchanging pleasantries, the Marshal couldn't wait to call these confidants, including his son, into the study.

Of course he also called him nephew, but this dude was obviously angry and locked himself in the room, ignoring everyone.

"Forget it! I've spoiled this brat."

Hearing his nephew's reaction, the Marshal couldn't help but smile bitterly;

Then he walked quickly towards Jiang Cheng and stood in front of him.

At this time, he had grown a lot taller, almost half a head taller than the short handsome man, and the other party had to raise his head to look at him.

But even though he had the advantage in size and build, Jiang Cheng was still intimidated by the old fox's aura, and his heart was beating unconsciously -

You won't hold a grudge against us just because Pingchuan snatched Miss Cao away, right?
Just as he opened his mouth to make up some excuse, the great warlord who was about to become the king of the Northeast actually stretched out his hands and patted Jiang Cheng's shoulders heavily in front of everyone, including his own son:

"You little brat! Damn it! I really thought something terrible was going to happen. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well the whole night..."

"Thank God and our ancestors, luckily nothing happened to you and Xuecheng."

In fact, Jiang Cheng could clearly see that when Marshal Zhang said this to him, there was clearly some acting involved.

But when he lowered his eyelids slightly and looked at him, the look in Shuai Ye's eyes made him a little surprised.

He seemed to be looking not at his trusted subordinates, but at his little Sixth Son...

Although he knew that it was a foolish thought, Jiang Cheng still took a deep breath unconsciously: "Master Shuai, I..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Marshal quickly changed the subject: "Alright, brat, stop talking and tell me how this marriage...how did it fall into the hands of your brother?"

Given Shuai Ye's temper, he would definitely be very suspicious of this matter.

Would you think that it was he who instigated Hai Pingchuan to seize Cao Kun's daughter?
If that was the case, he probably wouldn't care about the whole story. He probably just wanted to hear why they did this... and what the next steps would be after the thing was done.

If they don't give a reasonable explanation for such a big "interception", the Marshal will definitely try every possible way to make trouble for them.
Now, he had to deal with this matter carefully. After all, it was not time for them to become independent yet, and they still had to rely on the Fengtian clique and the Marshal to survive for some time.

"Master, I don't really need to say much about this matter. You have spies all over the world. Even if Feilan really wants to hide it from you, you should consider whether he has the ability to do so!" Jiang Cheng carefully considered his words and said, "To be honest, this is purely an accident. My brother Pingchuan is honest, and it is possible that Miss Cao has a secret crush on him."

"But I think that now that things have developed to this point, we should negotiate with the Cao family."

"Besides, I'm sure you can see that... the reason why Old Duan dared to order his men to intercept Xuecheng and me this time is that he must have doubted our 'cooperation'."

The reason why Jiang Cheng dared to start from this point was that he saw that Marshal Zhang had the same idea.

He knew that in the future, Marshal Zhang would definitely shift his cooperation from the Anhui clique to the Zhili clique, but he did not know that there had been grudges between the cooperation between the two factions from the very beginning.

Especially looking at the people around Shuai Ye now, there are only his old-school figures, while Yang Yuting, Xu Shuzheng, and even his close follower Jiang Dengxuan are not here.

Jiang Cheng became more and more certain that this old fox was quite wary of new-school figures and partners.

"Master, the area around Rehe is not peaceful right now, and Old Duan is planning to monopolize the power in Beijing... He has sent telegrams many times to request us to enter the country,"

Wu Junsheng looked at his boss's expression, thought for a moment and then continued, "But at this critical moment, he has given us such a big problem."

Zhang Zuoxiang also said: "Actually, after thinking about this matter over and over again, I always feel that this is strange--"

Having said that, Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to interject, "Master, what if Cao Saner did this on purpose?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Cheng.

Marshal Zhang, who had been watching from the sidelines, raised his eyelids and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The conflict was successfully transferred from himself and Hai Pingchuan to the interior of the country. Jiang Cheng blinked his eyes and almost used the method of "hitting the snake at its weakest point": "Master, please think about it carefully."

"No matter what, Xiao Xu is still your deputy, and Lao Duan... was the one who gave us the equipment as a favor."

"Emotionally and logically, even if you and Cao San'er are in-laws, it is only right for you to side with Old Duan."

Marshal Zhang said nothing, and the whole room suddenly fell silent. Only the Western wall clock against the wall made a dull sound that seemed to strike at everyone's heart.

"You mean that Cao San'er and Wu Xiucai are plotting to alienate us?"

After a long time, Marshal Zhang slowly sat down behind his desk, tapping the table with his right fingertips while speaking calmly.

"The dispute between the government and the parliament has become so serious. With the fall of Zhang Xun, the struggle between the Zhi and Anhui factions must have reached a critical moment."

Looking at his father-in-law Zhang Zuoxiang, whose expression was becoming increasingly tense, Jiang Cheng stepped forward boldly and said loudly, "Master, your support or opposition may directly determine the future situation of the two families, and even the world!"

"So Cao San'er and Wu Xiucai may have deliberately deployed troops in Luanzhou under the pretext of 'escorting Miss Cao'—"

At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang also interrupted and said, "Marshal Yu, you have also seen that this old Duan suddenly issued an order, which is equivalent to an internal conflict between our two families in Luanzhou."

"If we really turn to the Zhi army because of this divisive strategy, I'm afraid we have fallen into a trap."
