Mr. Qi admitted that he was indeed a little afraid. Last night, they predicted that even if the Shen Family were to obtain the information, they would not dare to reveal it to the public. After all, it would involve a lot of things, including the Shen and Xiao Family.
That was why they dared to convene the Board of War"s meeting in advance in order to create public opinion to suppress the whole matter. They did not expect the Shen family to have the intention of going down on top of it.
In another meeting room that was no more than a hundred square meters, the fragrance of tea wafted in the air.
Old Lady Shen sat on the chair and enjoyed a sip of tea.
Mr. Qi stood at the window position and blew at the cold wind, attempting to calm himself down.
"Speak, what do you all want?" After a long while, the Mr. Qi said with a bit of weariness in his voice.
Old Lady Shen put down his teacup and said with a disapproving tone, "Does Mr. Qi not know what we want?"
Mr. Xue slapped the table and stood up, "We have already given your Shen family the honor of putting this matter down, but you guys are still unwilling to let it go."
"Who does Mr. Xue think started this?" The Old Lady Shen asked.
The Mr. Xue coldly snorted, "No matter what, we have to focus on the big picture."
"What a great phrase, it"s as if everything is important in your eyes. As for us, we are useless. For your big picture, our lives are not even worth mentioning." Old Lady Shen sighed, "If my family"s old man is still alive, I"m afraid he would be the first to kill you."
The Mr. Xue was furious, "I don"t care what you plan to say or do, the unity of the military is not allowed to be destroyed by others as you wish."
"Mr. Xue isn"t worried about me exposing that matter." The corner of Old Lady Shen"s mouth raised, "That"s right, you did not expect us to not dare to reveal ourselves, right?"
"Everyone is doing their best for the nation and for the people. Why do you need to suffer a loss for a small personal grudge? Am I right?" Mr. Qi returned to his seat and stared at the doc.u.ments in the old mistress" hands.
The Old Lady Shen shook his head, "No, I am afraid both of us are not injured, although our Shen family is involved, but we are only following the orders of our superiors, at most, we will receive some criticism, but I am afraid that the old leaders of Mr. Qi are not going to be able to tide through it so easily."
All three of them turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"Knock, knock, knock." A soft sound came from the meeting room.
Shen Yi Tian went back to sleep, and walked into the meeting room br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy, laughing loudly: "Mother, you"re saying that you want to come over, why didn"t the military wake me up?
Xiao Yao walked into the conference room silently, followed by Xu Mao and Feng Cheng.
Mr. Qi"s face turned ashen as he lost, as if he had already seen the reality of the situation.
Mr. Xue was not willing to let it go, he stared at the four people who suddenly ran over and said: "You, you guys are really planning to rebel?"
Xiao Yao picked up a cup of tea and gulped it down, "The Mr. Xue can also treat us as rebels now."
The Mr. Qi said with sorrow, "Our existence is for the common people, why are we in such a mess now? What is there to say that you can"t say? "
"Did the Leaders ever give us the chance to have a good talk?" Feng Cheng taunted, "There are still a bunch of comrades next door who are watching a good show. I want to ask if the leaders have thought about it properly and wanted to make a good show for us?"
"I"m just trying to give everyone an explanation. After all, who can easily cover up what happened last night?" The Mr. Qi retorted.
"There"s no need to conceal anything, so why do you need to think of ways to do so?" Xu Mao asked.
Mr. Xue glanced at him, "If you guys insist on making trouble again, okay, then we three old fellows will accompany you if we don"t die."
"Does Mr. Xue not plan on chatting amiably with us?" Shen Yi Tian lit up a cigarette and exhaled out a smoke ring, "Then, all of you better think carefully, can you bear the consequences?"
"What do you mean?" w.a.n.g Que asked.
Shen Yi Tian flicked his cigarette, "Just as you said, what we want is unity to the outside world."
"So?" Mr. Qi stared at the person in front of him.
Shen Yi Tian raised his head, and looked her straight in the eye as he said, "Step down."
"What did you say?" The Mr. Xue was the first to oppose his decision, growling loudly, "Shen Yi Tian, don"t think that the thing in your hands is of any value, no one would dare to believe it even if you take it out."
The meeting room suddenly fell silent. Almost no one spoke.
The Mr. Xue"s voice could not help but grow higher, he said, "Don"t think that I would be afraid, if you have the ability, then release me."
None of them said anything.
In the oppressive atmosphere, it was as if the oxygen was evaporating bit by bit.
Mr. Qi"s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. He used both hands to support his own walking stick and closed his eyes before finally letting out a long sigh.
Shen Yi Tian extinguished his cigarette and said calmly, "This is the only path I have to take, all of you old leaders should know how to judge the situation, a.n.a.lyze the pros and cons, this matter is considered a stain on the military, even if you can stop our own people, and can stop the loose mouths of the people in the world?"
"At that time, the great leader, who has been glorious for decades, will be sent to a military court in a sorry state. It would be quite interesting." Xiao Yao mocked himself.
"Are you sure we will lose?" The Mr. Xue asked.
"Perhaps you still have a ten percent chance of winning." Xu Mao declined to comment.
"We can bet to see who has the ability to stay in the military." Mr. Xue said without hesitation.
"Enough." The Mr. Qi bellowed, "If we retreat, you won"t pursue this matter anymore?"
Shen Yi Tian nodded, "We are soldiers, we will never go back on our word."
"Mr. Qi, why do you say such words?" The Mr. Xue did not give up and questioned.
Mr. Qi looked at him, his eyes bloodshot. He asked, "Is there a better solution?"
"Those doc.u.ments were a complete forgery. We don"t have to admit it. Who would dare to question us?"
"All those years were pressing down on my heart. I was afraid that it would explode, that it would destroy everything I worked so hard to build, that it would destroy my family, my children, my children, my Mr. Xue. When we are old, we will have to retreat."
"No, I won"t admit defeat. No one has the right to stop me from staying in the military." Mr. Xue stubbornly raised his head up high.
Mr. Qi fell down on the chair, "Over ten thousand people died, are you not afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? No one has ever dared to impose it on me. "
"I"m afraid." Elder Xun suddenly said, "Mr. Qi is right, all these years I have been paralyzing myself, these decisions are necessary, otherwise, how many people would have died? How many would die in battle? "All of our decisions are for the sake of better social harmony and development, but we are wrong. We are greedy for life, afraid of death. Only profit is profit, we are thinking too cheap of human life."
"No, no, no, I"m not wrong. It"s not my fault. It was all decided by you. I just followed orders." Mr. Xue pulled away from the two, shaking his head resolutely.
Mr. Qi looked into his eyes once again, and he could also see the fear that gradually grew in his eyes. With a solemn expression, he said, "Just treat it as giving the children a chance, if we are to end this, not only will we have to withdraw from the military"s history, even our children and grandchildren will have to withdraw from it."
"This —" Mr. Xue was at a loss for words.
"I promise you that you will retreat, but you must also promise us that we will not kill all of you." Mr. Qi looked at the four of them.
Shen Yi Tian held one hand in his pocket, nodded his head, and said, "Regarding this matter, the one at fault is you, and the rest is not involved."
"Alright, I will announce it immediately." Mr. Qi stood up and walked out of the meeting room like a meteor.
He hesitated for a moment before following him.
Mr. Xue clenched his teeth.
Old Lady Shen stood up and stood in front of him, "Mr. Xue is not satisfied?"
"What"s there to be unreconciled about? The matter has already come to this point. Do I have any other choice?" The Mr. Xue asked.
"It"s actually the best solution, isn"t it? Since you have the ability to return justice to the undead, and also protect the honor that your Xue Clan once had, or perhaps you intend to make another bet with us, with all the achievements of your Xue Clan and the great gamble of us disregarding anything, successfully, my Old Lady Shen will be the first to agree to it, do you dare? "
The Xue Clan member turned his head and looked away. He dared not! But how could he dare? Leaving aside the family involved in this matter, the Xue Clan was the first to be questioned.
The Xue Clan had flourished for a hundred years; how could they let him destroy everything?
"Mr. Xue, please." Everyone opened up a path that was the widest, longest, and hardest to walk on.
The Xue Clan walked away very slowly, as if they were recalling the moments of applause and pride.
The large hall of the military department was filled with over a thousand generals. As elders, they were always standing at the forefront, facing the flag of the nation that was rising in the sky. Everyone stood up straight with their heads held high and their chests puffed, saluting!
Xue Jiacheng stood in front of the meeting room and heavily pushed open the door.
Mr. Qi and Elder Xun were already standing in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at the three great leaders who had returned in confusion. Before they left, they had carried a haughty air with them, but now it seemed that all of them had withered away.
Mr. Qi looked at everyone, among them were many of his own trusted aides, and said, "I think there is something that I need to announce to everyone today."
Everyone"s hearts were in their mouths. From the expressions on the faces of the three leaders, it was clear that this was no ordinary small matter.
In a moment, the four marshals of the empire entered the conference hall.
Everyone felt that the situation was getting increasingly complicated and confusing, but no one dared to speak up in private. One by one, they listened attentively to the leaders" announcement.
"Actually, this matter should have been revealed years ago." The three of them looked at each other. Mr. Qi"s voice trembled slightly as he said, "You should tell the elders."
Only the three of us are still coveting this position, and do not want to live till the end of the year. The Mr. Qi was right, this matter should have been brought up a few years ago, we are already old. Tears welled up in Elder Xun"s eyes. "It"s not too late to say that now."
"Elder, what do you mean by that?" Someone cried out in alarm. Why did it sound like he was about to retreat?
Mr. Qi said, "We are all smart people, we will not beat around the bush, and just be frank, we are all people that are about to step into the coffin, we should also retreat and enjoy our blessings, this military is still going to be left to you youngsters."
"How can this be? Why are you leaving just like that? " Everyone looked surprised, even to the point of standing up excitedly and looking at the other four marshals without regard for their status.
Shen Yi Tian simply closed his eyes, disinclined to ask about the strange looks from his surroundings.
"When the time comes it will be time to leave. There is no other reason. We will have a few days to transfer troops. Everyone disperse. The official procedure will be spread to each major military area in three days." Mr. Qi waved his hand and was about to be the first to leave the conference room.
"Mr. Qi, you can"t just leave like this. Are you guys forced by someone else? Everyone has seen your military exploits, why are you so restrained? " Xue Hai chased after him in panic. "If there"s anything you want to say, just say it. Don"t worry, even if we don"t have enough military t.i.tles, we can"t tolerate others discrediting your old leader for no reason."
"That"s right. You three elders have been doing your best for the military all these years. How can you be so slandered and bullied? We will never allow that to happen." A group of people surrounded him.
Mr. Xue looked at Xue Hai who was leading the way, gritted his teeth, and roared. "Retreat."
Xue Hai shook his head. "We just want an explanation."
"There"s nothing to explain. We are already seventy or eighty and have already reached the age to retire. Do you really want us to die in this position?" Mr. Xue looked at the people in front of him and said in a serious tone, "Everyone has dispersed."
"Even if you want to retreat, you don"t have to retreat together with the three of you. The military is in a mess right now, and even the leaders have retreated. Who will be in charge of the things that happen next?"
"There will naturally be someone to take our place." Mr. Xue"s gaze fell in the direction of the four marshals before he finally walked out of the meeting room without turning his head back.
The remaining people could only whisper to each other about the sudden turn of events.
One of them said, "As expected, it"s the most exciting show. It"s full of twists and turns and is extremely marvelous."
Another person said, "No matter how you look at it, they"ve been forced to abdicate."
Another person said, "It seems that third master of Shen must have obtained something of great value last night, that would scare the three great leaders into agreeing to leave."
"It"s hard to say. But it seems that the military will have earth-shattering changes in the future."
Everyone"s gaze was fixated on the four marshals that were leading the charge. They had probably gone from being a three-legged man to being a member of the world.
The discussion gradually died down.
Outside the military building, Xiao Jing sat in her car and looked at the building in front of her. She repeatedly confirmed that it was almost two hours ago, and the meeting should be ending soon.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a group of people majestically walked out of the hall of the military headquarters.
The one in the lead was naturally the Mr. Qi. He stood on the stairs while a group of people gathered behind him, seemingly talking at the same time.
Mr. Qi did not want to listen to any more of their words. He opened the car door and directly entered with large strides.
Then, Mr. Xue and Elder Xun also left without a word.
One by one, the lead cars drove away from the military building, and everyone had to look away.
Xiao Jing rolled up the window and paid attention to the leader"s car that was about to leave. All of the cars were heading in the same direction, they were probably planning to secretly discuss some shameful matter.
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed one by one.
Shen Cheng Feng walked out of the main hall without looking at them.
Seeing him appear, Xiao Jing got off from the train.
"Let"s go." Shen Cheng Feng opened the car door and stuffed her inside again.
Xiao Jing looked at the bustling hall, and frowned. "When Mr. Qi and the others left, their expressions were still very ugly, could it be that they agreed?"
Shen Cheng Feng buckled up his seat belt, "Would they dare to refuse at this point of time?"
"There really is no better solution. I"m afraid they won"t let it go so easily." Xiao Jing turned her head and looked out the window. The sun was s.h.i.+ning brilliantly.
"Therefore, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to kill them. That way, even if we leave a path for them, no one will dare to a.s.sist them on their journey." Shen Cheng Feng stepped on the accelerator.
"What does officer plan to do?"
"This time in the Special Operation Force a.s.sessment, I think they will receive their first arm that was cut off."
"Are you talking about Yi Hong"s team"s Peng Minyi?"
Shen Cheng Feng leaned on the steering wheel with one hand and opened up the little storage shelf, "This guy is very meticulous and scheming, I have no choice but to get rid of him."
"officer means to take this opportunity to get rid of him?" Xiao Jing said openly.
Shen Cheng Feng gently rubbed her head, "Only people like Mo Luo should stay in the Special Operation Force, and protect our country wholeheartedly."
"officer is asking me to show mercy during the a.s.sessment?"
"Although he is a bit lacking in judgment, his intentions were not bad. At least let him have some face, otherwise, the next time he sees us he will have to turn a corner and leave."
"I will properly leave him some face. After all, War Wing Unit is still an SSS ranked Special Operation Force."
Shen Cheng Feng sped up.
"officer, where are we going?" Xiao Jing looked at the road that wasn"t the way back to the camp and subconsciously looked at the driver.
Shen Cheng Feng smiled playfully, "Before the war, there will be a long period of time where we won"t have the chance to meet."
"Mm, I know about this. I won"t disturb your training too much." Xiao Jing nodded his head in confusion, but what did this have to do with where he was bringing him?
Shen Cheng Feng did not speak anymore, but the smile on his face did not decrease in the slightest.
Xiao Jing had never seen their officer smile like this before, how could he describe it. He looked like a rogue, with a greasy smile.
In other words —
Today was the Academy"s fan festival. The event would start at around ten, so Xiao Man would send out red packets around ten. On the same day, she would send out three red packets: 10, 15, and 20.
The other group sent red packets from time to time. Sweets who didn"t enter the group should remember to send red packets every now and then. The red packets in the group started in the afternoon and were sent after the code was finished.
