"You can tell, right?" After leaving the training center, Lu Jun gave Xiao Zheng a meaningful look. "Guo Zhendong's opponent admitted defeat before they even fought. Don't you think this duel is Guo Zhendong's Conferred God Battle? "
"That's because of his ability." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette against the wind. He mumbled. "What are you jealous of?"
Lu Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "There's no need to be jealous. I just feel bad for the army. "
"If it's not worth it, then don't join in the fun. Let's have a fish head hotpot later, drink some wine in your office, and then take a good nap. In the afternoon, we'll go watch this thrilling duel. How comfortable would it be to end a day's journey? Why do you have to worry about such trivial matters? "
Lu Jun clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "What a beast. Is this how you're living now? "
"Are you jealous?" Xiao Zheng said proudly.
"I'm not just envious. I'm green with envy." Lu Jun shook his head. "If I had the benefits you have, I wouldn't even want to be a general, let alone a lieutenant colonel."
"Forget it." Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and said disdainfully. "Brat, all you want is to be an official. Would you give up on a promotion just for this little benefit of mine? Besides, I know your background very well. "
"What background?" Lu Jun pretended to be pretentious.
"Lu Dashan. Isn't he your relative? Do you think I don't know that you have a superstar cousin like Lu Qier? "Xiao Zheng said disdainfully.
"My father and Uncle Lu are cousins. When it comes to my and Lu Qi 'er's generation, kinship has already faded. "Lu Jun shook his head and explained.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "That's better than an orphan like me, right? Furthermore. Since Lu Dashan has such a promising nephew like you, shouldn't he spend some effort to manage it? "
Lu Jun glared at Xiao Zheng. "I've discovered that you're becoming more and more black-bellied. Sigh, I'm not as brave and pure as before. "
It was really awkward to put the brave and pure side by side.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and when they returned to the office, they continued to chat. But it was this kind of nonsense that was the best way to get closer to each other.
"Are you really not going to eat later?" Lu Jun asked.
"What's the point of me going there?" Xiao Zheng waved his hand. "If you can't stand the loneliness, then go and watch the show. Just bring me a portion later. "
"Then I won't go either," Lu Jun said with a smile. "Speaking of which, I'm not interested in participating in this kind of thing. These past few days, I'm exhausted because of this trivial matter. It's more comfortable to drink with you and take an afternoon nap. "
The two of them got to work immediately. Before 11 o 'clock, they had set up the hotpot. Each of them had a bottle of Maotai, and they drank and ate happily. He was too lazy to care about the internal strife in the cafeteria. He slammed the table and threw the chair.
After three rounds of wine, the two of them, who were full, laid down on the sofa. Lu Jun burped and glanced at Xiao Zheng, who was lying comfortably on the sofa, and asked, "Hey, Old Xiao, are you really going to be a spectator today?"
"En." Xiao Zheng crossed his legs and said. "You brat, stop fanning the flames. I'm just a Long Formation Outsider, a soldier who was dismissed from the Longevity Army. What right do I have to challenge them? Moreover, even Cao Yong, who had trained like a ferocious tiger, knew that he was no match for them. What right do I have to fight against the model of the entire army? How shameful would it be if I lost? "
Lu Jun sighed and lamented, "Sigh, you've really changed."
"What changed?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"You have no guts," Lu Jun said. "You fell asleep at the slightest touch. Who dares to challenge you? "
"That's why a guy like you who benefits from both sides can be successful and famous, while a fool like me can only wander the world." Xiao Zheng said with his arms behind his head. "Come to think of it, if I hadn't gotten into trouble back then, I wouldn't have gotten myself into trouble. Who knows, I might be rising faster than you right now. "
Hearing that, Lu Jun said faintly, "That's right. Considering how much General Jiang thinks of you. Who knows, maybe I'm serving you now, not Guo Zhendong. "
"Huh." Xiao Zheng turned around and looked at Lu Jun curiously. "Whose soldier is Guo Zhendong? Why didn't you say that Old Jiang was coming? "
"He's a soldier appointed by the commander. It has nothing to do with the old commander. "Lu Jun shook his head and said. "Ever since he protected you back then, the old commander has been suppressed. Although he was promoted to deputy commander, you know how the military works. If they dare to keep you in the 38th Division, you'll basically have nothing to do with it. Just wait for your retirement. "
"There's such a thing?" Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow. He was secretly surprised.
"That's why I said, don't always take it to heart. The Old Commander had already done his best by doing all that he could. Although he made a small mistake because of his selfishness. But you can't hold on to it and beat him to death, right? "Lu Jun tried to persuade him.
Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, I've always been grateful to Old Jiang."
"Bullsh * t." Lu Jun curled his lips. "If you really hold a grudge against Old Jiang. Will I still recognize you as my brother? "
After a pause, Lu Jun continued, "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. It's really rare to see a leader like Old Jiang in the military. Just open your mouth. Don't always hold it in. "
Xiao Zheng silently lit a cigarette and became quiet.
After closing his eyes for a while, there was a commotion outside the door. Lu Jun, who was woken up, opened the door and grabbed one of his subordinates. "What are you shouting for?"
"The duel has been brought forward by an hour. It'll start in five minutes, "the subordinate explained.
It was obvious that this subordinate was in a hurry to watch the duel.
After all, it was a duel at the pinnacle of the military, and there was also Guo Zhendong, who was made into a military idol. This group of subordinates was naturally very curious about the mysterious Guo Zhendong.
"Go. Be careful next time, "Lu Jun said to Xiao Zheng, who had just woken up, after shooing away his subordinates. "Go quickly. The duel is about to begin. "
Xiao Zheng struggled to get up and said feebly, "Damn it, if the duel isn't exciting, I'll teach you a lesson."
Xiao Zheng, who was used to sleeping for two and a half hours at noon every day, was woken up by someone after only half an hour's nap. He was very angry when he got up.
The duel was held in an indoor training center. A standard arena was set up in the center of the field. Nearly two hundred chairs were arranged around it. Not only were there no empty seats, but even the aisles were full of people. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a sea of people.
The representatives of various agencies sat in the front row with the best view, and the highest rank was a major general. They were neither the representatives of the White City Military District nor the Long Live Army. They were obviously the supporters behind Guo Zhendong. Next to them was Lu Jun's immediate superior, the Commander of the Garrison Command. They were both major generals.
Cao Yong, whom they had met before, had already stepped into the arena and was warming up. His expression was focused and serious. But everyone knew that he was here to be Guo Zhendong's stepping stone, a mere cannon fodder. It was up to him, a cannon fodder, to die a glorious death or to end up humiliated.
"Coming!"
Lu Jun led Xiao Zheng to the excellent seats that had been arranged in advance. Before his buttocks could even warm up, Lu Jun pointed to the backstage exit in the northeast corner. He raised his voice slightly. "Guo Zhendong!"
