: The irritable warlord of the Republic of China vs. The author and his wife, Dali, and his daughter, who has studied abroad 54

Quan Jiu wanted to see something from Si Jinnian's face, but this stinky man had a good management expression and listened to his subordinates' report on the latest situation in Jincheng.

"After you left, everything in the city is normal, but for some reason, the Du family and Fan family suddenly attacked today, and we were caught off guard."

"Fan Sheng seemed sure that you could not go back today. He had sent people to stay outside the city, waiting to take over Jincheng. Some of the troops had even scrambled into the city while they were in trouble."

Si Jinnian's fingertips hit his knee joints one after another, his eyes drooping slightly.

Something was wrong tonight.

It’s not that Fan Sheng is too conceited, but that tonight’s turnaround from defeat to victory was too smooth.

The other party clearly had the upper hand in terms of numbers, but he estimated the number of people tonight, and there were only one or two hundred enemies facing him.

Si Jinnian raised his eyes, wanting to leave a few survivors to thoroughly investigate the incident tonight, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Quanjiu, and he swallowed the words he said to the side.

"Find out Fan Sheng's people."

...

Commander's mansion, study room.

Xue Cheng looked solemn:

"Third Master, everyone has been reminded, but I don't believe what they say. I say there are monsters in the forest and eat all their people. The monsters are made up in the storybook. If I believe it, wouldn't I become a fool?"

Si Jinnian was sitting lazy, but when she heard this, she sat up straight:

"What's going on?"

Xue Cheng: "In the blink of an eye, dozens of brothers disappeared out of thin air, without even calling for help, and the person was gone, and they were not found now."

Si Jinnian's eyebrows were slightly flickered. As he expected, the number of people did not match.

"Have you watched it on the spot?"

Xue Cheng: "Look, let alone humans, you can't even find a bone. These dozens of living people can't disappear out of thin air, right?"

In his opinion, it was these people who were talking nonsense.

Si Jinnian's eyes flashed, and she didn't know what she thought of: "How is the situation in the south?"

Xue Cheng's face became even more serious:

"Six corpses were found, without any extra wounds on their bodies, all of which were shot and killed. There was also a corpse with marks on its neck. They died of suffocation. It was the most strange thing that we all broke through the north, and none of them had been to the south..."

When he said this, he suddenly got stuck for a moment.

Not everyone went to the north.

Miss Liu stayed in the central circle alone.

Xue Cheng realized the ridiculous idea in his mind, shook his head, and directly ruled out the possibility of Miss Liu.

She is a real daughter who has returned from studying abroad. She can't even open a gun, and she will never have such accurate shooting skills.

Xue Cheng changed the word:

"I want to see that in addition to our and Du Fan's troops, there was another mysterious force in the mountains, and one of them was a sharpshooter."

Even if the confessor did not lie and wanted dozens of people to disappear in an instant, it would take at least a few hundred people to do it.

"Go down."

Si Jinnian looked at the topographic map on the table and fell into deep thought.

...

Recently, Jincheng seems calm, but smart people can feel it. Under this calmness, layers of storm waves are buried.

Quan Jiu was busy with the marriage of the gosling son-in-law, but she didn't expect to see Li Yang again, and she said vigilantly.

"What are you doing?"

Snatch people? Snatch marriage?

Li Yang hasn't seen Quanjiu for many days. At this time, he saw the person he had appeared in front of him. He felt sad and felt a little secretly happy:

"Miss Liu, I'll break the engagement."

Quan Jiu was even more surprised: "Did your father agree?"

The answer given by Li Yang is also surprising:

"Agree."

Quan Jiu looked question marks.

At first, the old man refused to break off the engagement under Si Jinnian's pressure, but now he suddenly let go. Why?

Li Yang looked at the doubts on her face, pondered for a moment, but ignored his father's advice and spoke out the truth:

"In fact, part of the reason why the Li family's business can be done so big is due to a counselor of my father."

Quan Jiu suddenly remembered what Si Jinnian had investigated. He heard that the old man from the Li family often went to temples and was very close to a Taoist priest.

She knocked on the handle of the chair: "That old Taoist priest?"

Li Yang was stunned: "Do you know!?"

Quan Jiu: "I only know this, you continue to say it."

Li Yang thought about it and spoke again:

"This old Taoist priest is indeed a bit powerful. My father acted according to his advice. In just five years, he strengthened the Li family more than ten times. Since then, my father has trusted him more. This old Taoist priest is the existence of a living Bodhisattva in our family."

Quanjiu guessed something:

"So this old Taoist priest said that the Liu family is suitable for marriage with the Li family. Your father would rather offend Si Jinnian than offend this living Bodhisattva?"

Li Yang took a sip of tea in disappointment, lowered his head and felt embarrassed:

"Yes, he said that my horoscope and I are prosperous, and it is a good marriage that is determined by heaven..."

Not only that, it is also said that after Quan Jiu married into the Li family, the Li family's business journey would be more comprehensive.

Quan Jiu joked: "What's going on now? My horoscope suddenly doesn't match you?"

"The old Taoist priest is dead."

Li Yang held the teacup and shook his head.

Quan Jiu narrowed his black eyes slightly, and his tone became deeper: "Diet? Murder or suicide?"

Li Yang looked solemn: "I don't know that a passing woodman found his body in a dry well. I don't know if he accidentally fell into it or was pushed in by someone."

When his father heard the news of the death of the old Taoist priest, his first reaction was that he did not believe it. The old Taoist priest is so powerful and is no different from a god. How could he die so hasty?

But when the body was carried up, all self-comforts became soap bubbles, ruthlessly exposed by reality.

Because of this, his father's brainless admiration for the old Taoist priest finally faded a little. After listening to his persuasion, he was finally willing to officially break off the engagement with the Liu family.

Out of selfishness, he actually didn't want to break off the engagement, but the woman he liked already had a heart. Instead of forcing her, he would rather wish her happiness. The two of them were generous and might be friends in the future.

Quanjiu took his divorce letter and thanked him: "It's noon soon, have lunch before leaving?"

"No."

Li Yang thought of Si Jinnian upstairs and refused decisively.

Quan Jiu sent the person to the gate of the commander's mansion. Before leaving, Li Yang stared at her face, and the obscured admiration and reluctance still revealed a little:

"Miss Liu, I actually met you before, before you even went to the UK."

Quanjiu: "Oh?"

Li Yang shook his head when he thought of the scene he saw:

"Forget it, it's better not to mention the past."

At that time, Liu Jiaojiao spoke softly and was well-educated and polite. She was a lady of a noble family and was not completely obsolete.

It is completely different from the tough woman he saw on a cruise ship back to China who "slap men's lives with bricks. He is a complete difference.

Li Yang smiled with relief:

"There is at least one thing that the old Taoist priest said nothing wrong. You have indeed changed a lot in the year you returned to China."
