The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 70 Inside Story
Wu Taixun smiled bitterly: "Yulin, you think too simply!"

"Cough cough!"

Seeing the people present changing color slightly, Jiang Cheng hurriedly coughed a few times towards his empty fist.

Knowing that what the three young men were going to talk about next were probably things that should not be heard, Hai Pingchuan took the lead and sent the young people at the banquet away one by one, leaving only the two women Huixin and Chifang.

"Why are you keeping it so secretive? Are you afraid that others will know? It's just a military academy!"

Seeing Hai Pingchuan mysteriously locking the door after he returned, Bao Yulin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My brother has been following Han Qing every day these past two days, and I haven't heard anything about it?"

"You've been in Qiqihar for too long. You haven't heard anything about it, have you?"

Now that everything has been said, there is no need for him to hide it any further.

Besides, the two classmates present were both going to take exams. Wu Junsheng had recently been suppressing Mongolian bandits and keeping an eye on Tang Yulin's preparations for the 53rd Brigade's rotation of defense. He was almost inseparable from the Marshal, so he must know some inside information.

"My dad knew that this exam was unusual, so he asked people for help and wanted to find out more details."

Hearing him say this, Bao Yulin frowned and said, "What are you asking? Could it be that with your family's connections, the Military Academy won't give you a direct promotion?"

This kid is used to being arrogant, and has always been bullying others by relying on his father's relationship;
In fact, attending the Military Academy is just a way to gild your reputation. In the future, you can be promoted to battalion commander or regiment commander in your father's army.

"It would be nice if it were so."

Wu Taixun took a sip of the wine glass, but put it down again without drinking it. "My dad also wanted to get a promotion at first, but he wanted to be safe, so he used his connections to meet Guo Maochen."

"I didn't expect the old guy to not give my dad any face. Hearing that he was here to ask for a spot, he almost scolded my dad on the spot."

"Say something..."

"What was announced is a unified exam, which will test everything from liberal arts, infantry, equine, and tactics. And he even yelled that he wanted to go through the back door to find the handsome guy!"

This is a bit of a visual, and when he says it with his worried face, it's hilarious to the extreme -

Jiang Cheng could still hold back, but Bao Yulin burst out laughing: "Haha, so according to you, looking for this Guo Maochen is just looking for shame?"

"Youquan, he really didn't give your father face, so he didn't hit him?"

I don't know if it's really that funny, and this guy is deliberately doing it. Brother Bao was so happy that his eyes became slits. "This is not like the garrison of Liaotao."

Although Wu Junsheng was submissive in front of the Marshal, Keke was always very fierce except to his confidants...

If you really make him angry, don't even think about beating Guo Maochen or Wang Maochen, he might just be executed.

"I told you to stop mocking me. Even if your father is the governor of the Black Province, he can't do anything."

At this point, Wu Taixun actually wanted to drag others into the water, "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask your father to try? If you can get a place for Master Bao, I will admire you!"

"I would like to go, but my father is still in Qiqihar - but I really don't believe that Guo Maochen dares not to give me face at all."

In the beginning, their small group was naturally headed by Zhang Hanqing and Feng Yong. The position of "third place" had been fought over by Wu Taixun and Bao Yulin till now, and no one had ever given in.

Seeing that he was clearly eager to make something happen, Jiang Cheng immediately laughed inwardly: It seems that this little Bao still doesn't know enough about Guo Guizi!
Regardless of whether it was just a way of seeking fame as later generations would say, the old guy was famous for his dark face.

It seems that Guo Maochen has finalized the exam, and I'm afraid Zhang Hanqing will have to take it too. If he doesn't show some real evidence, it won't work. Today's dinner was not in vain. Not only did I reconnect with my old relationship, but I also got some useful information.

He should have no problem with academic subjects, as Jiang Cheng has already memorized the traditional Chinese characters from the newspaper... He can't care whether Brother Fugui will pass the exam or not, and at most he will worry about Hai Pingchuan.

While thinking about these things in her mind, Hai Hui, who had been standing by and watching, became a little anxious.

She was worried about whether there was something wrong with her brother and Jiang Cheng, and kept asking if the subject was difficult, and if there was any private news...

He was very polite to the beautiful lady Wu Taixun, but he knew very little about the details. It was like that annoying Guo Maochen was running a secret operation. Not to mention missing some questions, he didn't even know the specific scope of the exam.

As they were talking, there was a commotion outside. Han Ming, who was in charge of guarding the door, trotted in and said, "Master, Master Zhang..."

"Jiang Feilan! Jiang Feilan, why are you locking the door? Come on..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Zhang Zhuqing's loud shouting and cursing from outside.

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming..."

After giving a quick glance to Wu and Bao, Jiang Cheng hurriedly stood up to greet them. He saw that his cousin was supporting his cousin, who was stumbling around with a red face. He must have drunk too much.

"How can you drink so much in broad daylight?"

Bao Yulin saw this and looked at Feng Yong who was following closely behind him with a look of confusion, "They are about to get married, and you don't want to take care of it?"

"Unfair! I tried to persuade him, but he still got himself drunk like this."

Feng Yong looked up at Jiang Cheng and laughed, "Oh, so this is Fei Lan's little nest?"

He knew Wu Chifang but not Hai Huixin, and immediately said in a nonchalant tone, "When did you marry your sister-in-law? Why didn't you invite everyone to the wedding banquet... Jiang Feilan, you are being disrespectful!"

Knowing his nonsense nature, Jiang Cheng opened his mouth to defend himself, but the drunk Zhang Hanqing heard something about "drinking wedding wine" and immediately pushed his brother, making him stagger, and shouted arrogantly:

"Whose wedding wine should I drink..."

"Come on, pour me two more cups!"

He didn't even stand steadily, and fell to the ground before he finished speaking. His face turned red all the way to the back of his ears, and he was still shouting nonsense.

Hearing Hai Huixin cursing silently beside him, Wu Taixun ran forward with a look of reproach to help him. At that time, the future crown prince of Northeast China was already vomiting heavily, and Jiang Cheng also hurried forward.

"Hey, Brother Feilan, do you have a stove here? I'll quickly make him a bowl of sobering soup."

Wu Chifang smiled bitterly, and the two girls went to the kitchen hand in hand.

Hai Pingchuan helped the drunk Zhang Hanqing into the bedroom. The room had not been tidied up yet, and everything looked simple and dusty.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang was lying on the kang with his arms and legs spread out. He reached into his arms and threw a stack of bills to Jiang Cheng: "Here, give me the gift money!"

"Your house is really too shabby, is this what your new house looks like? Give it to me... give it to me, okay, decorate it well!"

"Brothers, it's shameful to live like this!"
