The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 61 Bribery
"He won't be able to directly control the 53rd Brigade, but he will definitely have some personal soldiers under his command. No matter how many there are, given his personality and the fact that he is demoted here, he is a potential threat to us."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the brother and sister whose expressions began to become solemn.

After a brief thought, he said everything, "I'm thinking now, after the three of us enter the provincial capital, we should all be more alert and collect all the information, no matter how big or small it is—"

"I'm sure we can gather a lot of useful information! This will be of great benefit to the future development of our 10th Regiment."

The two siblings nodded in agreement and chatted about the situation at the horse farm. Aunt Chen prepared half a table of dishes, and the taste was just as indescribable as when Jiang Cheng first traveled through time.

In addition, the weather was hot and they had no appetite. They just ate a little and then put down their chopsticks.

It was decided to set off early tomorrow morning, and Jiang Cheng prepared Hai Pingchuan's clothes and other expenses in advance, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady would also set off with them.

So she took some money and asked Chen Ma to accompany her to the street to buy things, while she took Shanghai Pingchuan to sort and pack the things.

"Pingchuan, you have to bring your stuff with you when you go out."

With the Browning, the three-gun box seemed a bit useless. Jiang Cheng handed him the bullets he had prepared before, "Don't underestimate it because it's so small. It's quite powerful."

Nowadays, among men, especially young men from the military, giving each other a pistol that is only worthy of officers is the ultimate gift.

Hai Pingchuan accepted it with a look of flattery on his face. He was so moved that he didn't know what to say: "Feilan, you..."

Jiang Cheng knew that this seemingly rough man was actually very thin-skinned and would never say anything touching.

He immediately reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't say anything strange between us brothers."

"Let's fight side by side in the future. Use it to kill a few more enemies and give it to me as a reward!"

Jiang Cheng looked sincere when he said this, and Hai Pingchuan was even more moved. He kept responding that they should fight the enemy together and face the outside world together in the future.

Just as he raised his hand to pinch the other person's shoulder and talk, Jiang Cheng's peripheral vision noticed outside the door——

Yang Hongzheng was standing at the door, looking inside, rubbing his hands back and forth, his eyes filled with anxiety and restlessness.

Looking for me?
Seeing the other party's expression, Jiang Cheng immediately confirmed the matter.

"Pingchuan, you clean up first."

She turned around and walked out, but he tactfully didn't follow her.

Before Jiang Cheng could say anything, Yang Hong dragged him into the empty study room and said with a flattering smile, "Master, it's been a while since we last talked. Are you free today?"

What do you mean?
Jiang Cheng looked him up and down in confusion, and almost blurted out, "Why can't I remember when I talked to you about this?"

"Deputy Captain Yang, what can I do for you?"

His own vigilance made Yang Hong even more submissive. He took out a brown paper envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"Master, this is a token of your appreciation... You must accept it!"

Jiang Cheng looked down and realized that he was bribing. He was stunned but also amused.

I remember that when I first crossed over, he and Li Shitou looked down on me completely, and the emergency meeting was full of contempt. What's going on now?

"Deputy Captain Yang, what do you mean?"

Jiang Cheng didn't refuse, but he also had no intention of accepting it.

This was not a new thing in the sun these days, but Jiang Cheng was a little bit surprised by Yang Hong's treatment of him. He held the envelope in his hand and weighed it, his smile becoming more playful.

"Haha, I don't mean anything else. I just think that you are becoming more and more successful, so shouldn't we be more sensible?"

Yang Hong laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. "Besides, my ears are a little longer. Are you planning to take the entrance exam for the Military Academy—"

"When you go on a long journey, you need to prepare some money, right..."

Jiang Cheng's face darkened: "Who told you that?"

"Ah, that's right, I didn't hear it from anyone!"

Yang Hong was so shocked that he quickly changed the subject, "Master, this is a big deal for you. As your subordinate, I still have to..."

Annoyed by his beating around the bush, Jiang Cheng interrupted him in a harsh tone: "Alright, Deputy Captain Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly! We gentlemen don't waste time on this."

Yang Hong bowed quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I know that the young master is a straightforward person, let's just say what we want to say!"

"My son Yucheng is also eighteen this year—"

"He has been following Deputy Captain Hai at the horse farm. He is honest and reliable."

"Pingchuan wants to take the entrance exam with me, can my disappointing son also take him with me..."

Wow, his ears are really long. Not only did he hear the message, but he also thought of bringing his son over in an instant?
I have no interest in the son of such a slippery person. I never know if bringing him along will cause trouble for me.

Jiang Cheng didn't even think about it and immediately replied with a smile: "Hey, Deputy Head Yang, your words really put me in a difficult position!"

"You know, I came to the city to take the exam this time, and I am considered as a companion to the governor's family—"

"Look at me, a study partner. I also have Pingchuan with me. They are already study partners. It's unreasonable to bring another one with me."

Yang Hong clearly heard his refusal and became a little anxious.

Everyone knows that this school run by Marshal Zhang is the first since he took office, and its importance is known to almost everyone.

Otherwise, the second generation including Xiao Liuzi, Feng Yong, Bao Yulin and others would not have come together.

"Master, I didn't say anything, but I must make you bring Yucheng into the Marshal's Mansion just like you brought Pingchuan!"

"What I mean is that I want you to help me find a way to enter the school without taking the entrance exam."

Without waiting for Jiang Cheng to decline, he immediately continued, "Don't worry, Yucheng is excellent in knowledge and other aspects - he won't make things difficult for you, young master!"

You asked me to help your son get exempted from the exam, and then you said there was no problem with his knowledge. Isn't this completely contradictory?
Just go and take the exam if you are qualified. Could it be that a prestigious Northeast Military Academy would deliberately reject outstanding talents?

Hearing these words, Jiang Cheng was disgusted, but after all, he was his father's subordinate, so he did not rush to refuse, and instead asked: "Deputy Captain Yang, what are you thinking about?"

"Don't think that I, Jiang Feilan, entered the Marshal's Mansion directly, but I still have to take the exam!"

"Master, you know that I am not a reckless person. When it comes to selecting talents for our Fengtian Army, how can I do anything to get in the way?"

As he spoke, he stuffed the envelope containing the banknotes back and said, "Didn't I just say that? If you want to go to the city to take the exam, how can you not prepare money for the journey?"

"You should take your things back, prepare them well for Yucheng, and then take the test with us!"
