Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales
Chapter 306: Young Marshal’s Wife’s Bai Yueguang 21
Ling Changfeng and Marshal Ling, father and son, have long been displeased with the political officials. They are cowardly and timid; when threatened by the Japanese, they dare not say a word, preferring to become Japan’s lapdogs and aim their knives at the local populace rather than the Japanese.
Marshal Ling is not only a grand marshal who emerged from warfare, speaking with the authority of a gun, but he is also a patriotic and righteous gentleman.
A group of Japanese people are flaunting their might on Hua Country’s land, recklessly slaughtering Hua’s citizens, which Marshal Ling has long found intolerable.
Thus, upon receiving the urgent order from the political officials, Marshal Ling pretended not to receive it and went home to sleep with his son.
They are Hua Country’s army; their guns will only turn outward against the Japanese and never towards the Red Team, who rise up to protect the nation’s land and citizens.
They, too, are the common people.
It’s acceptable for them to fight wars for territory, the enemy army, thieves, and bandits.
But to fight against a group of civilians, especially ones who stand up to protect the people when the political officials cowardly avoid action, is something they will not do.
The Ling father and son, ignoring orders, angered the political officials, who repeatedly sent people to command them, even threatening to revoke Marshal Ling’s position.
Marshal Ling, unwilling to return the hard-earned authority to a bunch of timid cowards, immediately shot the messenger.
That night, the Japanese at the Haidu base were all killed.
The one who did it was Yuan Chun.
Yuan Chun used her spiritual power to knock Ling Changfeng unconscious, then went to the Japanese base and killed them.
She also killed some of Haidu’s most enthusiastic lapdogs.
This included Mr. Chu, the biggest lapdog of them all.
Additionally, she ransacked the lapdogs’ homes, leaving them nothing but their houses and their beds.
The political officials, upon receiving this news, were infuriated, even issuing a statement in the newspapers accusing Marshal Ling of rebellion, attempting to suppress Ling father and son through public opinion.
Not one to be trifled with, Marshal Ling openly sent a batch of weapons to the Red Team in Zhe Province and dispatched five thousand troops to reinforce them.
Soon, the Red Team in Zhe Province triumphed, successfully driving the invaders out of Zhe Province.
However, a few days later, Marshal Ling and Ling Changfeng were ambushed on their way to the military camp.
With Yuan Chun’s butterfly effect, the assassination on the Ling father and son was pre-empted.
When Yuan Chun received the message from 007, she was putting her son to bed, quickly pretended to clutch her stomach, claiming she needed to use the toilet, then in the bathroom, she put on an Invisibility Talisman and flew off in the Flying Device to rescue them.
Half a minute later, the Flying Device was hovering over a flare-lit battlefield; Yuan Chun didn’t disembark but instead unleashed a few thunderbolts down below.
The assassins targeting the Ling father and son were effortlessly struck dead by lightning.
Having accomplished her mission, Yuan Chun flew back to the Marshal Mansion.
Chunmei anxiously stood outside the restroom, calling inside, "Young Madam, are you alright? Did you get sick from eating crab? I said not to eat crab so early, crabs are cold, you..."
"I’m fine, Chunmei."
Yuan Chun exited, interrupting Chunmei’s relentless chatter, then resumed coaxing her son to sleep.
Soon, the Ling father and son returned.
Marshal Ling’s deputy was shot in the shoulder and was sent to the hospital; upon hearing the news, Chunmei couldn’t contain her worry, feeling distracted.
Yuan Chun said, "Chunmei, I can’t leave, could you go to the hospital to check on Deputy Tang for me? Bring some fruit; Deputy Tang loves snacking on fruit."
