Chapter 562: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 31
Miaomiao was stunned by Mu Yuanzhao's words.
It seemed that she had only agreed to help with the acting, but had not agreed to devote herself to art.
"You're kidding. We do live in the same room, but it's an inner and outer room. Miaomiao, don't worry about anything else."
After Mu Yuanzhao saw the resistance in Miaomiao's eyes, he tried it and chuckled to ease Miaomiao's resistance.
"Then let's get off the bus. We are already in the military camp."
Miaomiao nodded, pretended to hold Mu Yuanzhao's arm intimately, and walked out of the car naturally.
Only she herself knew how much strength she had used to support the huge creature beside her.
It was not until she got off the bus that Miaomiao was completely focused on the scene before her.
This is a two-story Western-style building, not even half the size of the small building he lived in before. Compared with the grandeur of the Marshal's Mansion, it seems particularly low-key.
It is a kind of restrained majesty. The off-white building exudes a cold atmosphere under the dim sky.
The walls are covered with dark green vines, as if giving it a mysterious coat.
Next to the small Western-style building, there was no sign of other families, and it was completely silent.
The courtyard is not big, with only a few unknown flowers growing stubbornly in the corner. The courtyard looks a bit bare, and the air is faintly filled with the smell of gunpowder, telling where this seemingly quiet space is.
"Well, your yard looks a bit bald."
Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing that her nephew was so weak that his face was almost resting on her neck, she said something to make conversation.
"Well, if Miaomiao likes it, I'll have people plant more flowers and plants so that I won't be bald in the future.
Miaomiao will also live more comfortably."
There was a hint of hoarseness in Mu Yuanzhao's chuckle as he whispered in Miaomiao's ear.
The wind blew until Miaomiao's ears turned physiologically red.
Goosebumps can't stop coming out...
However, Mu Yuanzhao knew when to stop. It was okay to be naughty occasionally, but it would be a waste of time if he really tricked his beloved girl away.
Mu Yuanzhao raised his head slightly and tried to act more gentlemanly.
"This is where my father and I usually live in the military camp. Don't underestimate it, but this is probably the safest place in the entire Mu family."
Miaomiao looked around while listening to Mu Yuanzhao's words. The windows of the small Western-style buildings here were actually installed with thick iron bars. There were also several tall guards standing guard in front of the buildings, meticulously.
"By the way, I have already made other arrangements for your maids.
There was only someone who came to deliver meals and clean the room every day. Our room was on the second floor.”
After entering, Miaomiao found that the decoration here was extremely simple. Apart from a set of sofas and a matching dining table, it was very empty.
Miaomiao supported Mu Yuanzhao as he went up the stairs step by step. The room on the left was the big bedroom that Mu Yuanzhao mentioned.
Their luggage had been put away. Miaomiao lived in the inner room and Mu Yuanzhao lived in the outer room. Only the bathroom was shared.
There are also guards guarding the door. If Mu Yuanzhao needs to do something private, Miaomiao can seek their help.
In this way, Miaomiao lived in this small Western-style building. She only knew about all the disputes in the outside world from the occasional words she heard from Adjutant Qian.
The situation seemed to be getting more and more tense. Both Mu Yuanzhao and Adjutant Qian looked confident of victory and ready to make a move.
The next morning, the dawn had just penetrated the mist and fell on the land in the far suburbs of South City, and the edge of South City was in chaos.
The bandits rushed out from the mountains and forests like a group of hungry wolves, and launched crazy attacks on the outskirts of villages and towns.
They were armed with sharp blades, riding fast horses, and looting property wantonly. The soldiers of the Mu family army stationed on the edge of the south city responded quickly and rose up to resist.
The sound of military bugles pierced the sky, and the soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed towards the bandits.
They were well-trained and coordinated well, repelling the bandits time and time again.
However, the bandits who had always fought and retreated in the past seemed to have received some instructions and were unwilling to give up. They launched waves of attacks, as if they were endless.
In the fierce battle, although the Mu family army temporarily gained the upper hand, their actions seemed somewhat chaotic because they had no support.
After the people evacuated quickly, they began to fight and retreat, gradually shrinking their defense line towards the interior of the south city.
It is obvious that this suburban area has been abandoned.
The news soon reached the small Western-style building where Mu Yuanzhao lived.
At this time, Mu Yuanzhao was sitting in the study, carefully looking at a map that marked the various military strongholds and key areas around South City.
After hearing Adjutant Sun's urgent report, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"Continue as planned. Have the soldiers feign defeat and retreat, but be careful to conserve your strength and not let the bandits succeed."
Mu Yuanzhao said calmly.
Now is the time to play the long game and catch a big fish. He is always absent from the army, and the Marshal is also absent. The entire army seems to be leaderless, so naturally someone will want to take advantage of the opportunity to take a bite.
Including those losers from the Li and Wang families, although they did not choose to cooperate with each other, they must want to get something from Nancheng first.
"Yes, Young Marshal, but the bandits are rampant. Although the people left in time, the losses are probably not small."
Compared with Adjutant Qian, Adjutant Sun is more approachable.
"Afterwards, the wealth of these bandits will be compensated to the people three times over."
There was no trace of doubt in Mu Yuanzhao's eyes. Kindness cannot command the army, and righteousness cannot command wealth. Only by acting the defeat of Nancheng more realistically can the real big fish behind it be lured out.
"Have the logistics team ready. Once the fighting is over, immediately rescue and comfort the affected civilians. In a few days at most, I'll have them come in standing up and leave sideways!"
On the battlefield in the south city, the Mu family army's "retreat" continued. Seeing this, the bandits became more arrogant, thinking that the Mu family army was already vulnerable, and so they pursued them even more frantically.
They rushed into some small towns in the south city, looting indiscriminately, trying to bring these things back to the bandit's lair as quickly as possible.
At this time, in the eyes of some spies who were deliberately let go, the defeat of Nancheng was almost a foregone conclusion.
