Xiao Zheng could completely understand Jiang Qing's feelings at the moment. At the end of the day, it was not that Jiang Qing felt that it was not worth sacrificing two subordinates, nor was it that she was unwilling to do such a thing. Instead, she felt that the higher-ups should not deceive her and pretend to be ignorant. They knew everything but did not say anything, allowing her to lead a group of subordinates to do useless work.
This was a kind of deception!
At least from Jiang Qing's point of view, this was a chilling deception!
Xiao Zheng took the initiative to fill Jiang Qing's glass of wine and said loudly, "Come, let's not go home until we're drunk tonight!"
Jiang Qing also used alcohol to vent. She did not rely on passion to get to where she was today, but also absolute loyalty to the army. Venting was to clear the accumulated depression in the heart. After venting, everything would be fine. The soldiers could still be soldiers, but the Long Formation still had to continue to work. Without the sacrifice of his subordinates, who knew how big of a ruckus the Fox Hunting Group in China would have caused? Everyone would be in trouble.
Xiao Zheng accompanied Jiang Qing to drink to her heart's content and asked, "I heard people say that Guo Zhendong has always looked down on the Long Formation. Why did the commander-in-chief let you come to visit and learn? "
"This martial arts battle is considered a grand occasion in the army. The Long Formation cannot be absent. "Jiang Qing slowly regained her senses and said with a relatively clear voice.
"Is this Guo Zhendong really that capable? He even dares to look down on the Long Formation? "Xiao Zheng said with great interest.
Jiang Qing heard this and said with a solemn expression, "Although this person is a little arrogant, he is still capable. Previously, two of my subordinates met him by chance. Because of that, they took the initiative to challenge him and fought a friendly match. "
"What was the result?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"Both of them went up together." Jiang Qing pursed her lips. "They were knocked down in ten seconds."
"Instant kill?" Xiao Zheng clicked his tongue in surprise. "Aren't your subordinates a little too useless?"
"He's the champion of the 13 northern provinces." Jiang Qing tried to save face for his subordinate. "You always think that you're invincible. Tomorrow, when the Martial Competition is over, I'll let him play with you."
Xiao Zheng curled his lips and said, "I'm the CEO of a company that earns hundreds of thousands of yuan per minute. Where would I find the time to do that?"
"Are you admitting defeat?" Jiang Qing said disdainfully. "You brag about how fierce you are in front of me every day, but when you meet a tough opponent, you can't do it anymore?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not quibble. Of course, there was no way he could quibble.
Tomorrow was their Conferred God Battle. This leap would allow him to soar into the Nine Heavens and transform into a dragon. What would happen if he went up to meet with a rebuff? No one was happy if they won, but if they lost, there would be a lot of people coming over to slap their faces. It was obviously a losing deal. Who would want to do it?
Unknowingly, after staying in Xin Ao for so long, Xiao Zheng had also been infected with the air of a philistine. When he did something, he would first consider whether it would be profitable or not. Even if there were benefits, he would still be willing to do it. He would only do it if it was a big deal.
"The commander-in-chief said so. Among the younger generation, Guo Zhendong is already considered a fierce person who has reached the peak of perfection. Even if he doesn't like our Long Formation, he must come to this learning and observation. After all, a regular Martial Competition of this level is not something that can be seen every day. "Jiang Qing said bluntly.
"That's true. It's not regular and legal. Even if it happens every day, you can't just sit around and eat melon seeds. "Xiao Zheng joked. "Sigh, with great power comes great responsibility. Captain Jiang, the harmony and stability of Hua Xia depends on you elite troops to maintain. "
Jiang Qing glared at Xiao Zheng. "You're so sarcastic with your compliments. I've never seen a man with a more venomous mouth than you."
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not say a word.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lu Jun returned to the dining table. He explained that he had some urgent matters to attend to, and the awkwardness was easily resolved. After settling Jiang Qing's accommodation problem, and arranging for Xiao Zheng to come to the garrison's training center in the afternoon to watch the battle, they dispersed.
After sending off Jiang Qing, Lu Jun put his arm around Xiao Zheng's shoulder and walked out the door. As they walked, he asked, "How did it go?"
"Kid, you saw that something was wrong and ran away on purpose, didn't you?" Xiao Zheng curled his lips.
"What's my relationship with Major Jiang? If he gets angry, I won't be able to control him. "Lu Jun joked as if he was a smart person. "Old Xiao, you'll have to do this kind of thing. With great power comes great responsibility. "
"F * ck off." Xiao Zheng had drunk almost two liters of white wine. Although he was not swaying, he was a little light on his feet. He lit his cigarette against the wind and mumbled, "You ran away for so long. Don't tell me you've been avoiding Jiang Qing for so long? "
"That's not it. I received a few calls from the senior officials. A few old comrades from the Army of 10,000 also came. Luckily I didn't talk to him, or else I would have vomited blood on the spot. "Lu Jun lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs.
"What's so important that you vomited blood?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile. "Tell me, I'm happy with you."
Lu Jun rolled his eyes at Xiao Zheng and curled his lips. "You still want to be happy? Even if you've been kicked out of the military, it's still your family, right? How can you be happy when the Army of 10,000 is called a slave army? "
"Slave army?" Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow. He cursed. "Which son of a b * tch has such a foul mouth?"
"They said that they were called the Army of 10,000 back then because they fought a tough battle. The current Army of 10,000 is also basking in the glory of the emperor because they're in the capital. If they're not slaves, what are they? "Lu Jun gritted his teeth. "Damn it, if I find out which son of a b * tch spread this, I'll shoot him dead!"
Xiao Zheng was also furious. He rubbed his nose and said in a deep voice, "Count me in if you find someone."
Just as Lu Jun said, even if he was kicked out of the military, his family was still his family. A son would not dislike his mother for being ugly, and a dog would not dislike its family for being poor. How could Xiao Zheng tolerate others tarnishing the reputation of the Army of 10,000?
"Especially him. There's been a rumor that Guo Zhendong is ready to jump ship, "Lu Jun said angrily. "I don't know what he's thinking. Our Army of 10,000 is the best equipped and the strongest. He's only where he is today because of the military. Why would he jump ship? Damn it. I hope that guy from Whitetown will beat him up like a dog tomorrow. "
Xiao Zheng was puzzled. "Where is he going?"
"I heard it's the 13th Division." Lu Jun twitched his mouth. "The 13th Division has been in the limelight a few times during military exercises. They've beaten the Army of 10,000 once, but victory and defeat are common. However, victory and defeat were common in military affairs. One or two victories and defeats couldn't make one a hero, right? I think it's because their conditions are too good. There are people fanning the flames. After all, the Western Shu faction is deeply rooted and has a solid foundation. Otherwise, would the Army of 10,000 let him go? "
"Stop complaining," Xiao Zheng said. "The sky wants to rain, the mother wants to marry, and they want to leave. How can you stop them? A forced melon won't be sweet. "
"Damn it. I'm guessing that the so-called duel tomorrow is also planned by those people. I don't think the people from the Army of 10,000 are in a good mood. "Lu Jun blinked and looked back at Xiao Zheng with a strange expression. "Xiao Zheng, why don't I set up a Dragon's Gate for you tomorrow? Just think of it as throwing caution to the wind and playing with that kid. I don't believe that you, the Iron King of the Army of 10,000, can't beat that kid! "
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes. "Are you trying to push me into a pit of fire?"
"What are you talking about? Won't you feel embarrassed if the Army of 10,000 loses its reputation? Plus. That kid is so arrogant now. If a veteran like you suddenly knocks him down. He won't be the one to become a god in this battle, but you! "Lu Jun said with a chilly tone. "Besides, you're a member of the Long Formation now. He looks down on the Long Formation. Don't you want to vent your anger? "
"Old grudges and new ones. If you don't do something, I'll look down on you! "
