Jiang Cheng didn't think that his boss would say such an earth-shattering thing. One had to know what kind of status Zhao Da had, and this promise was heavy.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng could see the sincerity in Zhao Da's eyes. It seemed that he really thought this way in his heart. He wanted to train Jiang Cheng to be his successor.
Jiang Cheng was sure that as long as he nodded now, he would be arranged to go to various military regions to accumulate his popularity and merits. Although the process was simple, with Zhao Da's support, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
But would Jiang Cheng choose to go?
He didn't even need to think to know that the answer was a big 'NO'! Giving up on his brothers was something that Jiang Cheng couldn't do no matter what.
However, before he could say anything, Zhao Da seemed to know what he was thinking and spoke first, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, because I haven't finished speaking. Don't worry, as long as you agree, I can guarantee that your brothers will be able to enter the military, accumulate merits, and give you the most powerful support when you need it. Even if your brothers can't join, I will definitely arrange good jobs for them.
Think about it, do your brothers want to fight and kill, or do they want to sleep peacefully? Actually, sometimes people can't be so selfish. Some of your brothers have followed you from the beginning until today. They have done so much for you, have you really not thought about them? "
It had to be said that Zhao Da's words really moved Jiang Cheng. Yes, how can I be so selfish? Have I thought about my brothers? Is this the life they need?
Seeing Jiang Cheng hesitate, Zhao Da's face showed a victorious smile to Li Da, as if he was envious. But Li Da only shook his head at him and didn't say anything.
After a long time, Jiang Cheng sighed and shook his head, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I might have to disappoint your good intentions.
Why? " Zhao Da really didn't expect Jiang Cheng to refuse in the end. The benefits he offered were already so good. He believed that if he was in Jiang Cheng's shoes, he would definitely agree.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao. My brothers are used to freedom. If you suddenly ask them to live a normal life, they won't be used to it." Most importantly, I don't want the soul of the Hua Xia military to be tainted because of me! Although I admit, I am not a good person. But I love my country!
Not to mention Zhao Da, even Li Da didn't expect Jiang Cheng to say such a thing. However, the shock that these words gave them was indescribable.
'Don't let the soul of the army be tainted, because I love my country!' This sentence was more powerful than any feeble explanation or reason!
Zhao Da looked at Jiang Cheng appreciatively, but he still felt a little regretful. Not bad, you're becoming more and more to my liking. I really wish I could tie you up and sit in my seat. But I accept your reason. However, I hope that you will always remember what you said today!
This sentence has been rooted in my heart for more than 20 years. From the beginning to the end, it has never changed! The word "accept" expressed Jiang Cheng's determination.
Alright, I believe you, brat. Let's go. The welcome banquet for you is already prepared. Later when we eat, we still have something to tell you.
Jiang Cheng didn't refuse anymore because this meal was what he should eat. What's there to be embarrassed about? Also, he had just rejected Zhao Da. Such a big matter had passed. What could go wrong with eating a meal?
During the meal, Zheng Hua ran out again. No one knew where he went just now. At the table, he drank a few cups with Jiang Cheng and said some words of thanks. Jiang Cheng also followed suit.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, when everyone was eating to their heart's content, Li Da said, "Jiang Cheng, I should tell you the news I told you just now. Now, except for your Jiang family, the other three families have all retired. We can't find any trace of them. "
What? They've all retired? And we can't find any trace of them? What's going on? Could it be that the people of the other three families have all disappeared from the world? That's impossible.
Jiang Cheng was shocked by this news. Damn, isn't this too exaggerated? After just one investigation, the other three families have all disappeared? With their background and power, such a situation shouldn't happen no matter what, right? Could it be that Li Da did this on purpose?
Li Da seemed to see through Jiang Cheng's thoughts. He couldn't help but shake his head. Don't think about it. Many things are not as simple as you think. I think your old man will tell you about this when you go back. This is definitely not done by the country. They just chose to hide themselves. Even I can't find them. But it's like they disappeared from the world. Isn't it a good thing? You have to know that not all families are as patriotic as your Jiang family.
This time, Jiang Cheng really couldn't sit still. The disappearance of the three families at the same time was a big deal. And the fuse of this matter was him. What Jiang Cheng was worried about now was. Could it be that they deliberately targeted the Jiang family from the light to the dark?
Li Da saw that Jiang Cheng was a little absent-minded at this time, and he said it on purpose. To put it bluntly, he was using Jiang Cheng. He let Jiang Cheng keep the other three families in check. Although Jiang Cheng was still relatively weak now. However, in the archives, there were only a few stacks of Jiang Cheng's information. So, he had a different way of looking at it.
Well, I see that everyone is almost done eating today. And I see that you have a lot of things on your mind. You also have a lot of questions to ask home. Let's call it a day.
Zhao Da nodded at Li Da's words. Kid, think about it. If you decide, the door here is always open for you. As long as you are willing, I can make arrangements for you at any time.
Well, thank you for your hospitality today. I still have something to do, so I will leave first. After saying that, Jiang Cheng left in a hurry.
After he left, Zhao Da asked doubtfully, Do you really think that kid is so optimistic about him? Do you really think that he can contend against the three major clans with his own strength?
Have you ever thought that he will really bring Old Zheng back? And he will be intact? Being asked by Li Da, Zhao Da didn't know what to say.
So, we should trust him. The world now is really the world of young people. We are already old. We should just do what we are doing.
…
Back home, Jiang Cheng didn't stop for a moment and went straight to find his father. When Old Master Jiang saw that he was in a hurry, he roughly guessed what was going on. He brought him to a study where no one would disturb him.
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, Old Master Jiang sighed. I know what you want to ask me this time. Now that the three families suddenly retired, to be honest, it really caught us off guard.
Do you really think that it is really a coincidence that the four families have existed in Huaxia for such a long time? Old Master Jiang asked and chuckled. He didn't give Jiang Cheng a chance to speak and continued. In fact, the four families are the same. We have an ancient heritage that can even be traced back to the ancient times. Our heritage is the ancient martial arts families!
Ancient martial arts families? It wasn't the first time that Jiang Cheng heard this term, but he had only seen it in novels before. But he didn't expect that the so-called ancient martial arts would really appear now.
That's right, ancient martial arts families. Originally, the four families had always lived in seclusion. But with the continuous development of society, we also had to make a living. That's why we set foot in the secular world and formed the four families of Huaxia today. Unfortunately, the Jiang family has always been weak. We are not a match for the other three families. Even among the younger generation, there is no particularly talented junior who can take up the mantle.
Your father doesn't have any talent. I am destined to live an ordinary life. It has nothing to do with this so-called cultivation. All these years, the Jiang family has been suppressed by the other three families. We have long been on the verge of collapse.
If the Jiang family is really an ancient martial arts family, I don't think there should be such a big gap, right?
The gap is very, very big! Let me tell you. In modern ancient martial arts, there are a total of four realms. They are Cloud Moving, Fog Breaking, Moon Understanding, and Sun Chasing. And each realm is divided into the early, middle, late, and peak stage. The strongest people of the other three families have reached the middle stage of Moon Understanding and could step into the late stage at any time. The reason why everything is so peaceful is that the peak strength of the three families is similar. They keep each other in check. That's why there have been so many years of peace. But if the strongest person of one of the families breaks through to the late stage of Moon Understanding, then the stalemate will be broken. It is even possible to complete unification!
Then what about our Jiang family? And what the hell is that last realm called Sun Chasing?
