Chapter 80 Zhao Yifan's Dowry
Chapter 80 Zhao Yifan's Dowry
Zhao Yifan had very complicated feelings about his father-in-law, whom he had never met.
The other party can be described as a true warlord in troubled times. It was because of the existence of this Northeast King that the already deteriorating situation in the Northeast was brought into some balance.
Furthermore, their firm refusal to collude with foreign forces is also highly admirable.
However, due to their background, the other party also exhibited typical warlord characteristics.
To think that one can truly rely on the other to weather the coming storm is nothing short of wishful thinking.
Because Zhao Yifan absolutely refused to believe that his father-in-law would sacrifice his own interests for the sake of ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhao Yifan admired his father-in-law, but for the sake of his ideals and righteousness, he could only choose to ignore what was happening.
Because, in Zhao Yifan's eyes, his brother-in-law was the Northeast King he needed!
"Sigh, this means my new wife will probably be heartbroken for a while, but I believe time will heal all wounds!"
Zhao Yifan instinctively hugged the person next to him tighter.
"Ugh, I'm not coming anymore, I'm too tired!"
Zhang Ying murmured in her dream.
Looking at the beautiful face of the girl in his arms, Zhao Yifan felt a pang of guilt.
To make up for his guilt towards Zhang Ying, Zhao Yifan could only give her more love.
Because, as someone once said, love is the best medicine to soothe sorrow.
So, ignoring the other person's complaints of being tired, Zhao Yifan rolled over again...
……
Today, the Marshal's Mansion, though filled with a joyous atmosphere, was tinged with a hint of melancholy.
The commander was finally secretly brought back, but after treatment by the doctors, it was ultimately announced that the commander's injuries were too severe and there was no hope of recovery.
Tears streamed down his face, and the young marshal seemed to have grown up all at once.
"Damn it, I'm not even up yet, what are you crying for!"
The general said weakly, but this man who had spent his life on the battlefield still retained his unruly demeanor in the end.
"Yes, today is a joyous day for our Marshal's Mansion. Everyone must smile, not cry!"
Fifth Aunt said, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.
"A big day?"
Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief showed a look of confusion.
Seeing this, everyone realized that they hadn't had time to inform the commander-in-chief about the second young lady's marriage.
This is understandable, since they were planning to give the commander a surprise, but they didn't expect that something would happen to him before they could even notify him.
"Sir, it's like this."
Second Aunt said, "Didn't you tell Xiao Liu to make sure that expert who defeated Master Liao and his companion was captured? So, after discussing it, we decided to marry Xiao Er to that young man."
"What? Poof!"
Upon hearing his second aunt's words, the general became so agitated that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, I know you are very happy, but in your current state, it's best not to get too excited. Our Marshal's Mansion still needs you to run the household!"
Seeing the commander vomit blood, Fifth Aunt immediately rushed over and used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
However, she vomited so much blood that even the fifth concubine's handkerchief was completely stained red, and the bleeding still couldn't be stopped.
Finally, the commander calmed down, but his face showed that he looked even weaker.
"Liu Zi, call that man over here, I want to see him!"
The commander looked at the young commander, who had a sorrowful expression, and said.
However, before the young marshal could go out to call him, the door was pushed open by someone.
"Your son-in-law Zhao Yifan greets Father-in-law. This is your son-in-law's betrothal gift!"
As he spoke, Zhao Yifan threw down several cloth bags stained with blood.
"This is!"
The general's previously dim pupils suddenly contracted.
"Father-in-law!"
Zhao Yifan cupped his hands and said, "Upon hearing of my father-in-law's accident, I was filled with uncontrollable anger. So, last night, under cover of darkness, I sneaked into the Sakurajima military camp and found the mastermind behind the explosion, Kawamoto Daisaku, and his accomplices."
"Luckily I discovered it in time, otherwise they would have escaped back to Sakurajima, and here are their heads!"
As Zhao Yifan spoke, he flicked his finger, and the cloth bag opened, revealing several heads.
"It really is him!"
As the commander-in-chief of the entire Northeast, he had already guessed who might have orchestrated this incident.
However, the other party was too powerful, and even knowing their identity, the commander-in-chief couldn't do anything about it.
Not only could he not seek revenge, but in order to maintain stability, the commander-in-chief decided to keep it a secret even from his son, fearing that the young commander might do something impulsive.
However, the general never expected that his suddenly appearing son-in-law would seek revenge for him.
Moreover, and more importantly, the other party actually succeeded!
You should know that even the owner of that severed head on the ground couldn't do anything to the other party.
This shows that his new son-in-law's abilities far exceeded his original expectations.
"These bastards are the worst!"
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. The young marshal stomped hard on the other's head, venting his anger.
"You're so thoughtful!"
After glancing at his son, who was venting his anger on the enemy's head, the general looked at his new son-in-law, who stood calmly to the side, and for no apparent reason, a sense of unease crept into his heart.
Noticing the commander's gaze, Zhao Yifan suddenly spoke up: "Father-in-law, this time, when I went to the enemy's camp, I not only discovered their plan against you, but I also found quite a few strange people from Sakurajima Country in the camp. I'm afraid these people have ill intentions!"
Upon hearing this, the commander's pupils contracted slightly; he seemed to have understood the meaning behind Zhao Yifan's words.
That is, he does have his own ulterior motives, but right now the Marshal's Mansion is beset by internal and external troubles, and only he, Zhao Yifan, the new son-in-law, can stabilize the situation.
In other words, this warlord of the Northeast, who had spent his life on the battlefield, had no other choice at this moment.
"come here!"
With all his might, the commander waved to Zhao Yifan.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yifan did not hesitate at all and walked to Zhao Yifan's side.
Looking at his new son-in-law so close at hand, a hint of hesitation flashed in the commander's eyes.
At that moment, he really wanted to draw his gun and kill the other person.
After all, the Marshal had a premonition that after he left, the entire Marshal's Mansion, and even the entire Northeast, would likely fall under his control.
My own silly boy has no chance against the other side!
However, considering that the other party could move freely in and out of the Sakurajima military camp, and even took Kawamoto Daisaku's head, the commander knew that even at such close range, he probably wouldn't have the chance to kill the other party.
Reaching out and grasping Zhao Yifan's hand, the commander said with his last breath, "They are in your hands now. At the very least, ensure they have enough to eat and wear for the rest of their lives!"
Facing the commander's gaze, Zhao Yifan could feel the power that this Northeast King unleashed in the last moment of his life.
"Yes, I will. Xiaoying is already my wife, and I've always treated my wife very well."
Zhao Yifan said.
Normally, the commander would have already cursed him out, after all, no one is in a good mood when their base is secretly raided.
However, Zhao Yifan's promise at this moment brought out the most sincere smile of his life!
