By the time Chen Guang alighted from the car, the atmosphere was a little tense. Jiang Yuanchao, whom he had met the day before, had been holding Chen Guang's arm the whole time.
Amongst the crowd, Chen Guang saw a few people that he met yesterday, such as Cao Shiming and a few others. However, it was a pity that he didn't see Wu Shan. It seemed that Wu Shan's rank wasn't high enough to participate in today's drill.
"That, Uncle Jiang, Jin Shiyue's father …" Chen Guang asked in a small voice.
Jiang Yuanchao chuckled. "You are afraid of meeting your father-in-law? Do you even have times when you are afraid? Aren't you always fearless? "
Chen Guang quickly shook his head. "No, no, I am very timid."
"Alright, don't worry. Old Jin is overseas on a state visit and won't be back for a while. You won't be able to see him today."
Chen Guang heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yuanchao was excited again. "Little Chen."
"Aye, Uncle Jiang."
"What do you think of Uncle Jiang? Do you feel like old friends at first sight? "Jiang Yuanchao chuckled, rubbing his big bald head as he spoke.
Chen Guang also rubbed his head. "I do feel like old friends at first sight. Both of us are very bright."
"You must have interacted with the Jin family many times. Do you think they are all boring? They are very rigid. Although they are very friendly with you, they have to be polite to you on the surface. That's not fun at all. Look at my Jiang family, they are not like that. My daughter has also learned to be like us. How about it? Reconsider? Solomon is more suitable for you than Shiyue! "
Chen Guang's eyes widened. Uncle Jiang, you and your father are really the same. Both of you learned your poaching skills from the same source!
Also, I really can't tell you that Jiang Yage and I are much more advanced than Jin Shiyue!
You really don't need to poach me. I'm with Jiang Yage right now!
However, the conversation between the two did not last long. The group entered the base and headed straight for the building. Before the military exercise officially began, there would be a mobilization meeting. The elders would probably reveal their trump cards at the mobilization meeting.
Sitting in the massive conference room, Chen Guang sighed in his heart as he watched people of all shapes and sizes coming in one after another. They were all led by the staff to their seats. Chen Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that all sorts of people were here.
Compared to most of the people present, Chen Guang was already one of the people who had a good understanding of inner strength martial artists. But today, he still learned a lot. Among the people who walked in, there was an old man dressed like a Taoist priest, a gloomy man who was missing an arm or a leg, and a beautiful woman wearing a floral dress who looked young but was addressed as granny.
In the crowd, a nun holding a sword and a beautiful middle-aged woman in a flowery dress secretly glanced at Chen Guang from time to time. Chen Guang did not pay much attention to them. Instead, he tried to raise his head and remember every strange person he saw today.
"Is that Chen Guang?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman sat in the crowd and asked the nun beside her.
"Yes, it's him."
The nun sneered.
"He looks like a young talent, but it's a little strange. His root bone is very strange. I don't know if it's because I'm too far away, or if I'm wrong."
The beautiful middle-aged woman squinted her eyes, trying to see through Chen Guang in the distance, but she felt that he was unfathomable and unpredictable.
"You don't have to look. His root bone is very strange. My disciple once told me that the strange appearance of his body is rare in a hundred years, no, maybe a thousand years. It's not something that you and I can figure out."
The voice of the nun holding the sword revealed a trace of helplessness and unwillingness, but perhaps a little complacent.
"So powerful? Even more powerful than the girl from the Wen Family? "
The beautiful middle-aged woman exclaimed.
"That's not necessarily true. Who would have thought that the girl from the Wen Family could reach the level of Wen Zong so quickly? Root bone is only one of the talents, but the power of understanding is also indispensable. " The nun holding the sword had thought it through. "Just like our disciples, their root bone and power of understanding are the best. Otherwise, how could they reach the peak of Bone Force at such a young age?"
"That's right. It's the fortune of the Thousand Flowers Valley and the Thousand Despair Sect to have Xiao Miao and Xiao Qin. But I hope we don't make a wrong decision this time."
"If we don't give it our all, that Mr. Ying will come to us sooner or later. By then, we won't have any other choice."
Chen Guang could not see through these people's Internal Force cultivation. He could only judge their strength from the aura they exuded when they walked. Well, he was just guessing.
Most of them were not as powerful as Xin Qin and Wu Miaowan, but there were some who were more powerful than the two lolis.
"These are all powerful people!" Jiang Yuanchao said with a sigh, gritting his teeth.
Chen Guang was puzzled. "Uncle Jiang, you seem to hate them a lot?"
Jiang Yuanchao shook his head, then nodded. "I don't like them very much. You know about the incident back then, right? Many people saw the marks left behind by these powerful people in their dreams. They were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat. "
Chen Guang nodded. "I know."
"My father and I became bald because of them. At that time, I was still young, and when I woke up, my hair was gone. I don't know what kind of potion I gave someone, but in short, my hair never grew back."
"So that's the reason?"
"But I think it's pretty good now. Aren't you bald too? Don't you think that every morning when you wake up, others have to scrub their hair with shampoo while you wash your face with a handkerchief and wash your hair clean? It's very comfortable. It saves time and energy? "
"There's some truth to it."
"So, fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune hides blessings. Nothing in this world is absolute. From now on, we, grandpa and grandchild, shall happily go bald together. I heard that you have a fan club that is also made up of bald people. I have a good impression of them. You should introduce them to them when you have time."
Chen Guang was impressed by Jiang Yuanchao's twisted logic in life. Besides, he even dragged himself into it. Who wants to be with you grandchild and grandchild for three lifetimes!
"Oh right, I heard that a big shot among the Inner Force martial artists will be coming today. Why haven't I seen him yet?"
Chen Guang shrugged. "How would I know?"
"Aren't you on good terms with him? Why didn't he inform you in advance? "
"How do you all know that I'm on good terms with Wenwen?"
"This is a core secret, an important piece of information. When your Guangding General Headquarters grows and things settle down, we have to make a solemn promise to all the major sects that we will not easily use the big killing weapon on their Young Masters. Especially if the Young Master is a female, they have to sign it."
"Uncle, that's not right. Then why did you drag Jiang Yage into this?"
"I'm pushing my daughter into a pit of fire. Only Solomon can suppress the evil spirit in you. You don't understand. Our family is born to sacrifice ourselves for the country and the people to help us."
"Alright, you win."
"Sigh, why isn't the Wen Clan Leader here yet? If she doesn't come today, we won't be able to handle today's matter properly. You should give her a call and ask. I'm really worried. "
As the two chatted, Old Man Tan walked over. "Chen Guang, give the Wen Clan Leader a call. We won't feel at ease if we don't have a plan."
Seeing their sincere expressions, Chen Guang had no choice but to take out his phone. "Then I'll call?"
"Yes! Yes! "
While Chen Guang was making the call, Old Man Tan and Jiang Yuanchao were chatting.
"I heard that although the Wen Clan Leader is young, she's already a grandmaster. She's been famous for a long time, but I've never seen her in person. I really want to know how powerful she is." Tan Zhao Hua sighed.
Jiang Yuanchao pinched his beard. "She must have amazing martial arts skills. When she appears, all the martial artists have to bow their heads in submission."
"Or maybe she's walking on the leaves, rushing here from nowhere, kicking up sand and pebbles along the way."
"That's right. An expert naturally has the power of an expert. I heard before that the Wen Clan Leader is now a Wen Zong. In the entire Pugilistic World, she's at least one of the top few. Plus, she's so young, so she must be quite domineering."
On the other side, Chen Guang had finished his call. He looked at the two men in silence. "Gentlemen, Wenwen said she was stuck in a traffic jam. The roads were closed when we left the city, so many cars were stuck on the road. She left a little late and couldn't move."
"Huh? A grandmaster can be stuck in a traffic jam? "
Jiang Yuanchao and Tan Zhao Hua were both dumbfounded.
"What else can she do? Grandmasters are also human, okay? Grandmasters can widen the road with their fists, right? "
Although they knew what he said made sense, the two men still felt like they were being cheated.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that. Since she promised to come today, she won't go back on her word. There's no point in us panicking. Chen Guang, get ready. We might need you to give a speech later. We've decided to announce the matter of the Guangding General Bureau today. "
Before Tan Zhaohua left, he dropped such a heavy bomb.
Hearing those words, Chen Guang trembled in anger. What's wrong with the brains of you bunch of old men? It's such an important matter that you come up with it so easily. Why is it so tiring to do something for you?
Look at the hundreds of people sitting in the hall. Which one of them isn't a big shot? Which one of them isn't in power? Which one of them isn't a well-known figure in the Internal Force community? You didn't even inform me in advance, didn't discuss it with me, and now you want me to give a speech?
And announce the Guangding General Bureau in public?
What a scam!
Moreover, you should at least give me some time to prepare my speech!
What if I get stuck on the stage?
Wouldn't that be shameful to his grandmother's house?
Even if I'm a genius, it's still very strenuous for me to suddenly be forced to do something beyond my capabilities!
"Little Chen, don't worry about it. How can you have everything under control when it comes to family and national affairs? Since Uncle Tan said it was a last-minute decision, then it must be what they said. They must have thought it through."
"Didn't we agree to do this secretly? You can carry me out after the Special Case Department is more or less a figurehead! "
"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world." Jiang Yuanchao sighed.
Chen Guang understood immediately. The Special Affairs Bureau must have gotten wind of the leak and started to fight back.
If the person in power wanted to deal with an ordinary citizen, he might not even know how he died when he was lying in his coffin. But now, he had to deal with the Special Affairs Bureau. This was a huge organization that had been operating for more than a decade. It had extended its reach to all aspects of society, and its influence was spread across martial artists and ordinary people. It was too difficult to do it without anyone noticing.
"So the old men decided to throw the Guangding General Bureau out now so that the martial artists in the audience have no choice but to take sides today?"
"That should be it. That's why talents are so rare. It's precisely because not everything can be changed according to the will of the higher-ups that they need people like you to adapt to the situation. I have high hopes for you." Jiang Yuanchao patted Chen Guang's shoulder calmly.
Chen Guang's face turned green. 'I have high hopes for your daughter!'
Since it was a meeting, it was necessary to speak to convey the spirit of the meeting. However, the speaker today was different from the rest. At least, in the hearts of ordinary people, this old man had not appeared in public for almost 20 years. However, he still looked hale and hearty at the moment. His words carried enormous weight.
As long as he stood there, no one dared to belittle a word he said, even though he might not be able to truss a chicken due to his advanced age.
Even if he was no longer in his position and did not seek for his position, his power had never dissipated. The young people sitting in the front row were all bound by an invisible thread and held in the hands of the old man.
He spoke very slowly, but his words were clear. It was not a long speech. In less than an hour, he had described the biggest change in the country in the past 20 to 30 years. He did not use too many sharp words, nor did he deliberately promote military force. He only used one picture after another and his calm narration to make everyone sitting below the stage understand one thing.
Today's Huaxia was no longer the weak Huaxia of 30 years ago.
The pace of technology was unstoppable. Manpower was limited, but science was endless.
The emergence of the steam engine was not enough to pose a threat to martial artists.
During World War I, crudely made tanks, guns, propeller planes, and mortars that relied on simple aiming devices were also not enough to pose a threat to martial artists.
All the weapons from World War II to 30 years ago, although the development speed seemed to be rapid, even large-scale weapons such as nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs were not enough to pose a threat to martial artists who were good at hiding.
If you didn't even know where people were, how could you blow them up if they were scattered and mixed into a crowd?
However, the explosion of integrated circuits and information technology had brought unprecedented changes to the entire human race and the world.
In the past 30 years, from electron tubes and transistors to large-scale integrated circuits, then to silicon crystals, and then to modern technology with super strong artificial intelligence learning ability, as well as all kinds of cutting-edge technology that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, it was completely incomparable to the past hundreds of years.
Every year that passed, the computing power contained in the same square inch of silicon crystal structure would at least double.
Although the old man on the stage didn't say these words clearly, he was clearly telling everyone that the times were different.
In the past, we tolerated you for the sake of the overall situation, but it didn't mean that we approved of your behavior and privileges.
If you still don't want to change, don't conform to the times, and still rely on the sharp swords in your hands to treat ordinary people like ants, then what awaits you will inevitably be destruction!
"I've finished speaking, next …"
The old man stood there and spoke for an hour without stopping, which was a huge burden on his body. His hands seemed to be uncontrollably trembling, or perhaps he couldn't suppress his excitement.
How many times had he dreamed about it in the middle of the night, he finally stood here, in front of these martial artists who could only look up to but not dare to fight, and said these things!
Even if he died here today, he could go down to the underworld and face those martyrs with a clear conscience.
He only had one worry, and that was why the head of the Wen family, who had clearly expressed his goodwill, still hadn't arrived.
Although he wasn't afraid of death, some people in the venue couldn't die.
"Old man! Why are you saying this to us! What do you want? Just say it. Don't be so weird. We have been living like this for thousands of years. Even the Qing Dynasty Emperor treated us with courtesy when he founded the country. Why do you have so many problems when it comes to you? Do you really think we're made of mud? "
Sure enough, someone was trying to make trouble. A strong man with a full beard slammed the table and stood up. He didn't seem to deliberately use any strength, but the table in front of him instantly exploded into pieces.
Chen Guang turned his head and looked. This was an expert who was more powerful than Xin Qin.
"That's right. Back then, the elders of my sect saw that you people fought against the foreign enemies, and helped you a lot. Why do you think you've grown up and turned your back on us now? You're really an ingrate. Do you believe that I won't let your blood splash five steps away? "
The second person to slam the table and stand up was a middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest.
"That's right! If you're really that capable, why don't you ask that robot in your movie to come and fight me for 300 rounds. Let's see if its iron shell is harder or if my palm is more powerful! "
"Do you believe that I can kill all of you right now and walk back and forth here for seven or eight times?"
The sects that had communicated with the authorities beforehand were the minority. Most of the people were still arrogant and unruly.
When someone took the lead, there were naturally others who followed suit. After a while, the crowd became more and more agitated, and the scene seemed to be gradually getting out of control.
Even Jiang Yuanchao, who was sitting next to Chen Guang, began to frown. He pulled Chen Guang aside and said, "I didn't expect these people to be so agitated just by looking at the material. The old man hasn't even said anything yet. Damn it! Chen Guang, if they really cause a ruckus later, leave quickly. There's a secret passage downstairs, the password is … "
"What about you, Uncle Jiang?"
"I'm a soldier, I can't leave!"
"This …"
Chen Guang was also a little surprised by this situation. He thought he had a good understanding of the inner force martial artists. After all, he had dealt with Wenwen, Xin Qin, Wu Miaowan, and even Long Dingtian from Dragon Gate Express many times.
But now that he saw them, he realized that he had thought too highly of human nature.
Even Chen Guang was surprised, and the old geezers weren't any better.
They had miscalculated. They had really miscalculated. Not to mention the individual military drill later, even a simple scientific lecture was enough to make these people go crazy.
These people were really crazy, downright crazy.
For the past decade, they had been spoiled by Ouyang Tianxing and his Special Affairs Bureau to the point that they had lost their minds!
Sigh, they were still too impatient. At least they should have waited for the Wen family's leader to arrive so that the situation wouldn't go out of control. When the military drill was over, when they truly saw the pinnacle of modern weapons, they would no longer have the courage to smash the table and flip the table.
They were now ignorant and fearless!
In the crowd, the nun with the sword and the beautiful woman in colorful clothes also frowned.
The beautiful woman in colorful clothes said, "These people have been lying on a mountain of gold and silver for too long. Don't they think too highly of themselves?"
The nun with the sword nodded. "After all, not everyone can see through it. After enjoying the privileges for so long, letting go of them is equivalent to breaking their limbs. Of course, they can't bear to."
"How foolish! Look, even the Blood Cloth Sect, one of the eight major sects, is making a fuss. "The beautiful woman in colorful clothes gradually increased her power in preparation for the unexpected.
The nun with the sword said coldly, "Of course. Their evil cultivation requires the blood of children. If we want them to follow the rules, it is equivalent to cutting off their inheritance. Of course they will make a fuss."
"Swordswoman, what do we plan to do now?" The beautiful woman asked.
The nun with the sword said without hesitation, "If we really want blood to flow like a river, our skills are not bad. We can protect ourselves. Quickly take Chen Guang away from here and wait for the Wen family's leader to come and take control of the situation."
"That's right. None of the three aristocratic families are here, and the leader's intentions are unclear. What's the use of the small fries?"
No one had expected that in such a situation, the old man standing high up in the middle of the rostrum would not be afraid. Instead, he slammed the table heavily and let out a muffled roar filled with anger from his old chest. "All of you, be quiet!"
With the help of the amplifier, the old man's roar echoed repeatedly in the conference room. Instead, it suppressed many of the excited martial artists.
There was a brief silence. Before the martial artists could react and speak, the old man shouted again, "Do you think that we dared to gather all of you here because we don't have something to rely on? Do you think we are afraid of death? "
As he spoke word by word, Old Jiang, Old Jin, and the other old men all stood up from below the rostrum and stood beside the old man in the middle. All of them looked down at the crowd with cold and resolute eyes.
Old Tan, on the other hand, gave Jiang Yuanchao a discreet look before stepping forward.
Jiang Yuanchao immediately understood and gently pulled Chen Guang. "Follow me! Something bad is going to happen! "
Based on Chen Guang's temperament in the past, he might have left just like that.
But for some unknown reason, when he saw these dozens of old men clenching their teeth and supporting their aged bodies, resolutely standing on the rostrum, facing the impact of the auras released by hundreds of martial artists intentionally or unintentionally, they were clearly shaky, but still stood firm like a stubborn rock in the tide, he didn't want to leave.
On the rostrum were Jiang Yage's grandfather and Jin Shiyue's grandfather. If he guessed correctly, the old man who spoke just now should be Lin Jingwei's grandfather, and the one beside him was Jiang Yage's father.
Chen Guang closed his eyes slightly. He really couldn't leave!
If he really wanted to lose control, he would try to stand on the rostrum and see if the title of the Wen Family's Clan Leader's lover could keep the situation under control.
Uh, 'lover' was a bit too harsh. What about the Wen Family's Clan Leader's son-in-law?
This was the only bet, right?
Let's bet that the title of the Wen Family was really that useful!
To control the people of the pugilistic world, the most effective way was to use the methods of the pugilistic world.
If the Wen Family really had the power to command the world, the situation wouldn't have completely gone out of control.
Fortunately, he brought the painting scroll with him today and it was still in his hands. Even if there were doubts, it should have some effect if he took it out in public, right?
Even if it didn't work, he still had the Heavenly Holy Grail in his bag. Goddess Liu Li wouldn't leave him in the lurch. She definitely had a way!
Alright, no matter how he looked at it, the Old Man was still a good man who relied on a woman to walk the pugilistic world!
Wenwen was a woman, and so was Goddess Liu Li.
These old men were poisonous. Their indifference to death was contagious!
Chen Guang took a deep breath and shook off Jiang Yuanchao's hand. "No, Uncle Jiang, I'm not leaving."
