Chapter 267: Successor
When Chen Ning heard Xiao Ke's words, he was directly startled: "How can the student be virtuous, how can he be qualified to be compared with General Fu, the teacher's words made the student embarrassed." ”
When Xiao Ke chatted with Chen Ning, he seemed to become a little more energetic, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Chen Ning, you don't have to be modest. Not to mention your previous achievements, just mentioning your performance on the Eastern Front this time can already be described as dazzling. ”
When Xiao Ke said this, his eyes showed pride and relief, and he continued: "The Black Legion has won successive battles, and has won several battles at the beginning. Later, at Hukou Pass, the zombie army that blocked the Thunder Tyrant not only killed the Thunder Tyrant, but also destroyed the Thunder Tyrant's reinforcements to support the Eastern Front, and guarded the rear of the Imperial Army very well. After that, you unite with the rebels of tears to attack the Scorpion Tyrant together, and in the process, you kill the Tyrant of Fear, and in the final battle, even the Scorpion Tyrant is killed by you. ”
Xiao Ke looked at Chen Ning: "One battle, countless battles, a total of three zombie tyrants killed, countless lords, such achievements can be said to be the best among the new generation of officers." Even Qin Que and Fu Yunfei are far inferior to you, even if they are teachers, they are not as dazzling as you back then!"
When Chen Ning heard the word dazzling, he vaguely heard that although the teacher had the meaning of praising his achievements, he also secretly reminded him of his recent performance, reminding him that his recent performance was too active and too eye-catching.
If Chen Ning is not a demigod, then it doesn't matter if Chen Ning is active and out of the limelight, but Chen Ning is a demigod, and his current surface strength is only level 9.
A mere level 9 warrior can kill countless zombie lords and three zombie tyrants, even if the Metropolitan Governor gave Chen Ning an excuse of "the chosen son" before, saying that Chen Ning is a peerless talent, and he will be strong when he can meet the strong when he fights. But Chen Ning's recent performance is still too shocking, which can no longer be described as jaw-dropping, but everyone who listens to it thinks it is a fantasy.
Such a result will inevitably lead many people to speculate a lot about the reason for Chen Ning's strong strength, and when the time comes, the excuse of the "chosen son" of the Grand Metropolitan Governor may not be able to help Chen Ning conceal the secret of his identity, if Chen Ning's identity as a demigod is leaked, then even if it is the Grand Metropolitan Governor, there is no way to openly cover Chen Ning.
What's more, now that the Metropolitan Governor is seriously injured, soon the four generalissimos will force the Metropolitan Governor to step down, and if the Metropolitan Governor steps down, then no one will be able to cover Chen Ning at all.
Therefore, the Metropolitan Governor will only knock on Chen Ning now, signaling that Chen Ning's recent performance is too high-profile!
Chen Ning sweated on his forehead, lowered his head and whispered: "The teacher is just cultivating, the students don't dare to take credit, and the students feel that if they don't take the opportunity to eliminate the zombies on the Eastern Front, it will only be more difficult to recover the southern provinces in the future." Outside Suzaku City, there are still tens of millions of homeless people, and the students just want to help the teacher end the war quickly so that the homeless people can return to their homes. ”
Xiao Ke waved his hand to let the two guards beside the bed retreat, and only he and Chen Ning were left in the big tent before he sighed and said, "Chen Ning, although you are a demigod, your heart is more kind and upright than countless real human beings!"
Although Chen Ning had already guessed that Xiao Ke might be aware of his identity secret, he was still shocked when he heard Xiao Ke say it himself, and said in a lost voice: "Teacher, it turns out that you already knew?"
Xiao Ke smiled: "Yes, but I think you have an integrity and loyalty that ordinary people don't have, so I promoted you to be the champion of martial arts." Later I asked you, no matter what, not to betray the Empire, not to betray humanity, and it is also for this reason. ”
Chen Ning bit his lip: "The teacher teaches, and the students dare not forget." ”
Xiao Ke nodded with satisfaction: "My injury is very serious, I may not be able to survive this year, even if I am lucky, I don't know if I can heal, even if I can heal, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey?" But before I retreat, I will try to win the position of Grand Governor for you, and this is for you, and for my descendants, to gain a foothold. If you can't let me retreat, you and Qin Que, Duan Canglong, Butcher, and Luo Hu will be suppressed or even purged by the people in the camp of the four generalissimos. ”
When Chen Ning heard this, he immediately said: "The teacher seeks a way out, and the students have no objections, but as for what you said about fighting for me to be the governor of the capital, the students dare not accept it." If the teacher really wants to support a representative of our camp to take your seat, then the students feel that General Qin Que and Colonel Butcher are both good candidates. ”
Xiao Ke glanced at Chen Ning meaningfully: "Qin Que has been made an imperial jade, and now he has raised his strength to the middle of level 10, which is indeed very good." But after all, she is a woman, not to discriminate against women, but women often lack the kind of determination of men in big things, so Qin Que is not the best candidate for the governor of Dadu; as for the butcher, he climbed up step by step from the grassroots level, has a solid foundation, and he has a very good set of training and fighting, and now he has also improved his strength to the middle of level 10. It's just that he has a very rigid personality and is very arrogant. If he becomes the governor of the capital, his strong personality is estimated to be against the four generalissimos and a few old men. This is not conducive to the stability of the military department, and it will do more harm than good to the empire, so he is not suitable either. ”
Chen Ning still wanted to recommend others, but Xiao Ke had already continued: "You are young, energetic, upright and responsible, kind-hearted, not afraid of the strong, sympathetic to the weak, and the most rare thing is that you also know how to advance and retreat, and do not care about temporary gains and losses." When Fu Yunfei asked you to assist in the battle by name, I knew that he wanted to engage you. I deliberately agreed to temporarily transfer you to his command just to see if you would fight with him. Now it seems that although you have some contradictions to him, in general, you are still more tolerant and take into account the overall situation, which is very good. ”
It turned out that Xiao Ke had long regarded Chen Ning as the successor of the Metropolitan Governor to cultivate, and he felt that transferring Chen Ning to Fu Yunfei would be the so-called "Metropolitan Governor" at a certain level, and Fu Yunfei would be equivalent to the "Four Generalissimos", see how Chen Ning would deal with the relationship with Fu Yunfei?
If Chen Ning is very strong against Fu Yunfei and affects the normal operation of the army, then the Metropolitan Governor will feel that it will not work, because in this case, Chen Ning will become the Metropolitan Governor in the future, and he will definitely work against the four generalissimos every day, which is not conducive to the development of the empire.
After all, Xiao Ke also felt that the Grand Governor and the four generalissimos were mutually restrained and balanced, and when the two sides were balanced, the empire's first battleship could be driven smoothly.
Now Xiao Ke is very satisfied with Chen Ning's performance, Chen Ning did not focus on dealing with Fu Yunfei, nor did he have the heart to fight against Gu Yunfei, but Chen Ning bypassed Fu Yunfei very well and played a beautiful record on the Eastern Front.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Ke really decided to support Chen Ning to the position of the governor.
Chen Ning didn't expect Xiao Ke to have such a high opinion of himself, he said embarrassedly: "The student is not so good, and the identity of the student is not suitable to sit on the throne of inheriting the teacher, please think twice!"
Chen Ning's identity is naturally the identity of a demigod.
This point, it is indeed Xiao Ke a little worried, after all, it is a bit dangerous to let a demigod sit on the throne of the Grand Governor and become the first person in the Huaxia Military Department, although Chen Ning is now very honest and loyal, but the secret of the thing is leaked, is it not that Chen Ning will do anything crazy, this is a time bomb.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Xiao Ke's eyes, and then he said to Chen Ning: "It's too early to say this, after all, who will take over as the governor of the capital, although I have the power to recommend, but it also depends on the opinions of the four generalissimos and the eight generals, and they will also recommend candidates, and it will definitely be a competition at that time, so, let's talk about it!"
Chen Ning nodded, and then told Xiao Ke that he joined forces with the rebels to defeat the zombies, but Fu Yunfei recalled him five times and disobeyed his orders.
Chen Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Fu Yunfei is estimated to make a fuss about this matter. ”
Xiao Ke said lightly: "This matter is not big, it is not small, but I will help you get it, don't worry." ”
Chen Ning: "Thank you, teacher!"
