Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 2 A small plan stops the big trouble

In the blink of an eye, only the Cheng family was left in the mourning hall.

Cheng Qing walked to the door of the hall and saw a few soldiers guarding the outside. The neighbors were lingering at the door, as if they wanted to come in and burn incense.

Cheng Yue picked up the basket and said, "I'll buy some more incense and candles, and you can sort them out."

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Qing walked up to him, took the basket from his hand, and said, "Brother, you and dad will sort it out while I go out."

"Nonsense." Father Cheng's face darkened. He was unhappy but reluctant to accuse her in a strong tone. He said with a headache: "You are in your daughter's home now. How can you always go out to show off? Let your brother go."

Cheng Qing shook his head again and insisted: "I want to go out to inquire about something. Dad, please let me out."

Father Cheng was confused, "You have already recovered your daughter's body, why do you want to go out to inquire? Are you still reluctant to let go of those people?"

When Cheng Qing heard the words, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "No, I want to find out where the Grand Master's Mansion is located. Dad, don't worry, I won't keep my word."

After saying that, she flashed away with the basket in hand.

Her movements were so fast and clean that Father Cheng had already gone out before he could catch her.

Cheng Yue supported Cheng's father who almost fell, and chuckled: "Dad, you can't stop her if she wants to leave."

Father Cheng sighed and said, "Yes, just like five years ago, I couldn't stop her if she wanted to leave."

Cheng Yue's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but recall the despair at that time, and advised: "Dad, my sister has always been very independent. Although sometimes she can't take into account our feelings, everything she does is for For our sake, you can’t blame her.”

"I don't blame her, I feel sorry for her." At this point, Cheng's father couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "She not only sacrificed her reputation for us, she almost lost her life. Now even her good years have been given away. She is on the battlefield, her youth has passed, which other boy is willing to marry her as his wife?"

"Dad, my sister is only nineteen and she is in her prime. In my opinion, my sister is the best. Anyone who looks down on my sister is blind. I can't even look down on them as my brother-in-law." Cheng Although there was a joking element in the Yue dialect, the tone was full of pride.

"Oh, you, it's you who spoiled your sister." Cheng's father really didn't know whether to be angry or relieved that their brother and sister had a good relationship.

Zhuque Street is the most prosperous street in Anping City, with various shops and inns lined up in rows.This time they won the battle, and in order to celebrate, these stores had discounts, so there were more people here than usual, almost to the point of overcrowding.

After Cheng Qing came out, he took off his linen clothes and replaced the mourning cloth on his head with a white curtain hat.

When she reached Zhuque Street, she lifted up some of her white gauze, revealing her beautiful starry eyes. She looked at the crowds, then turned and turned into the alley.

The Hubu Yamen is just behind Zhuque Street. It used to be accessible by going straight, but now you have to take a detour.

After wasting some time, Cheng Qing just arrived at the entrance of the alley outside the Yamen and saw Qi Diaolie and others making a fuss from a distance.

These are generals who have returned from the battlefield. How can they compare to those gatekeepers who are used to living a comfortable life?Being grabbed by Qi Diaolie's big hand, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down.

"General, we have already gone in to report. If you wait and wait, our adults will be out soon..."

Cheng Qing frowned, turned his eyes away from the crying guard, and scanned around, but did not see Zhao Wuyuan or Bai Xiuyuan.

There's such a big fuss here, why aren't they here?

Just when she was wondering where the two of them were going, Qi Diaolie and the others couldn't wait any longer and were about to break in, cursing.

Cheng Qing was startled and frowned deeper.No, it's too late. We can't count on those two people now. If Qi Diaolie and the others are allowed to break in like this, even if they are reasonable, they will become unreasonable.What's worse, you may be accused of "relying on military merit and not respecting superiors".

How to stop them?
"Hiccup!" Suddenly a wine burp came from behind. Cheng Qing turned around and saw a gangster staggering over.

When the gangster saw her, his eyes lit up, his pace quickened and he rushed towards her.

Cheng Qing's feet flashed, and the gangster threw herself onto the street from where she was standing just now.

Looking at the gangster, Cheng Qing suddenly relaxed his brows and had an idea.

She quickly took off her curtain hat, threw it back, her face changed, and she shouted in fear, "Help!"

The gangster got up, looked at Cheng Qing's appearance, and showed a surprised expression. Then he smiled obscenely, rubbed his hands and approached Cheng Qing, and hiccupped: "Little sister, follow my brother obediently, and he will treat you well."

"Help! Help!" Cheng Qing pretended to panic and backed away, while using the echo in the alley to shout desperately.

The gangster laughed and said: "Sister, your voice is quite loud. Please keep it down from now on, otherwise you will be unladylike and I won't like you."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. Before he could see clearly, a fist hit him in the eye.

"what!"

The gangster screamed and flew out, covering his eyes and unable to get up.

"I asked you to like it! How dare you molest a decent woman in broad daylight!"

Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Diaolie and the others coming over. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had a loud voice that he had developed when ordering troops on the battlefield, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to call them over.

The hooligan was punched and sober. Seeing these big guys, how could he think of his sister?He rolled and crawled away.

Tao Liangyu, who was behind Qi Diaolie, spotted Cheng Qing with sharp eyes, "Marshal...oh no, Miss Cheng, how could it be you?"

"What? Is it a girl from the Cheng family?" Tao Liangting looked at Cheng Qing in surprise. Seeing that it was indeed her, he was so angry that ghost fire emerged from the bottom of his heart. His face turned red and his neck thickened. He clenched his fists and ran after the gangster, "I'll kill him." Kill him!"

"Hey, don't go!"

Tao Liangting moved so fast that Cheng Qing couldn't stop him without using martial arts, but she couldn't expose her martial arts.

Just when she was anxious, a white shadow appeared and used a few punches and kicks to stop the person.

Bai Xiuyuan restrained Tao Liangting and said, "Don't be impulsive."

"Military advisor!" Tao Liangting shouted anxiously. Watching the gangster turn the corner and disappear, he sighed heavily with regret.

When Cheng Qing saw him coming, he finally felt relieved. With him watching here, there would be no problem.

Bai Xiuyuan frowned and said: "This is Anping, not the border. How many times have I told you not to act arbitrarily, but you always turn a deaf ear to my words."

"No, military advisor, someone is teasing Miss Cheng. I can't stand it, so..." Tao Liangting spoke softer and quieter under Bai Xiuyuan's gaze.

Bai Xiuyuan picked up the curtain hat on the ground, walked to Cheng Qing, and handed it to her. His stern expression just now softened a lot, "Miss Cheng, are you okay?"

Cheng Qing took the curtain hat and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
