Resign as the head of the military aircraft?
This remark was really unexpected to Chen Ze. He was surprised for a moment.
Facing Chen Ze's surprised eyes, Mr. Jing looked calm.
He put the teacup on the edge of the sand table, turned around, looked out of the window with his hands on his back, and sighed, "Li Ding, you're the commander of the city defense. I'm selfish."
"Yes, in the absence of the city Lord, as the chief officer of the military aircraft, I have the right to appoint suitable command candidates, but this requires comprehensive consideration in all aspects and sufficient understanding of the assigned persons."
"I don't know much about you... In fact, I was selfish to choose you, the lowest rank counselor at that time, to command the urban defense."
Chen Ze was silent. That's exactly what he didn't understand.
When the other party only met him once, because his assessment task was assigned by Hua Lao of bo'an City, he confidently handed over the life and death of Xiyun city to him?
Anyway, it's a little exaggerated.
Moreover, Mr. Jing once said that when the war ended, if both of them were still alive, he would tell Chen Ze the reason.
However, Chen Ze didn't know the reason, but first heard that Mr. Jing would resign because of this decision, which made him more confused and couldn't think of what medicine Mr. Jing sold in his gourd.
He didn't open his mouth and waited for Mr. Jing's following, but the other party seemed to be in a trance and didn't mean to go on.
The air was filled with unspeakable silence.
Until Mr. Jing turned around, Chen Ze was surprised to see that there was a deep sadness on each other's face.
"Mr. Jing, you..."
Chen Ze opened his mouth and didn't know where to start.
But Mr. Jing, with this sad look, said slowly, "do you know I know Hua Lao?"
Chen Ze nodded. He had asked before, but Mr. Jing just acquiesced to know Hua Lao, and didn't say much about others.
"Hua Lao he..." Mr. Jing shook his head and sighed, "for me, I should call Hua Lao... Teacher!"
"Teacher?"
Chen Ze's eyebrows were slightly surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully.
According to Mr. Jing's mood when he asked about old Hua last time, he can probably guess that the relationship between the two is unusual.
"My achievements today are all due to the cultivation of the teacher. Maybe you don't know the real identity of the teacher?"
Mr. Jing looked back and sighed.
"Hua Lao's true identity..."
Chen zelue pondered, "I've been speculating about this."
Mr. Jing said noncommittally, "tell me."
Chen Ze said: "today's empire has three wise and two generals. Naturally, three wise refer to the three national divisions, while the second general is two generals. There is another person besides the Sima general guarding Qingfeng city!"
His eyes flickered and said, "the other general has rarely appeared in recent years. He claims that he is old and in a state of seclusion."
Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Mr. Jing, but saw that the other party just raised his chin and motioned, "continue."
Chen Ze added: "I have also carefully read about the life and achievements of this great general. I know that he is a rare versatile man of letters and martial arts. His wisdom is even comparable to the three wisdom of Qingyang. Therefore, he was recognized as a wise general of the four empires in the past years!"
"Unfortunately, five years ago, the great general suddenly faded out of everyone's sight, and there has been no news since."
Chen Ze sighed lightly: "although the senior general doesn't have a surname of Hua, there is a Chinese character in his taboo, and his name, I think you won't be unfamiliar with Mr. Jing!"
Mr. Jing lowered his eyebrows and eyes, said respectfully, "yes, he is my teacher... Shen Tuhua!"
"Is that him?"
Even if there had been speculation, Chen Ze was shocked by Mr. Jing's affirmation.
The wise general who is famous among the four empires, and the imperial general who is said to have retired from the mountains and forests, even works in the military aircraft Department of bo'an city?
"Are you surprised that the teacher is in bo'an City, but why doesn't everyone know that the chief officer of the military aircraft department is him?"
Mr. Jing saw Chen Ze's doubts and said with a bitter smile, "then you must not know that you are the first person to accept the teacher's assessment face to face in the past five years?"
"Me? First?"
Chen Ze shook his head. At that time, he just crossed over and went to Senhu town with the Wei family's team. He really didn't know much about the Boan military aircraft office.
"The teacher lived in seclusion in the military aircraft Office of bo'an. Few people know about it. In the past five years, most of the counselors and generals who participated in the assessment were led by Xu Shen. Ordinary people can't see the teacher at all."
Mr. Jing looked at Chen Ze deeply and said, "the signature on your task document is the teacher's autograph. It's the first time in five years!"
Chen Ze was silent, and the chubby oily face of the fat shopkeeper came to mind.
At that time, when he went to the military aircraft office, the first thing he saw was Xu Chengxu, who became the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Under the leadership of the other party, he went to the second floor to see Hua Lao.
If Mr. Jing said that the previous examiners were led by Xu Shen, he could not directly lead himself to HuaLao unless
"Did you think of it?"
After waiting for him for a while, Mr. Jing said, "through this matter, I know that the teacher is interested in you. In today's world, there are few people or things that can make the teacher mention a trace of interest."
"It is precisely because of this that I handed over the troops of Xiyun city to you and let you handle the affairs of guarding the city. It can be said that I did it all because of the teacher, not you."
"I......" Chen Ze frowned and said, "I still don't understand."
Yes, even if Mr. Hua was interested in him at the beginning, he ordered Mr. Xu to take him to the front for personal assessment, but what does this mean?
Mr. Hua just gave him an assessment task, which can be the reason why Mr. Jing handed over his military power to himself?
"Something happened five years ago."
Mr. Jing sighed: "because of this, the teacher was discouraged. Finally, he stepped down as a general and stopped asking about the Empire. His place of seclusion was the... Military aircraft Office of bo'an city."
Chen Ze nodded, not surprised at the strange place of seclusion.
The so-called great hermit in the city, who would have thought that after a generation of wise generals retired, they became the chief officer of the military aircraft department. It is estimated that they only hung up an empty job when they remembered the hangover on the other side's face when they saw Hua Lao.
"Since then, the teacher has shown no interest in anything, and the whole heart is as gray as death."
Mr. Jing shook his head and his sad face reappeared.
"So!"
As soon as he turned his words and looked at Chen Ze again, he flashed a fine light in his eyes, "in these five years, you are the only one who can make the teacher mention a trace of interest, so I'll give you a push anyway!"
"Regardless of the reason, no matter the talent, or even the survival of the whole Xiyun City, I am willing to take it out and gamble for you!"
