Chapter 47: A Visit to the Commander of the Navy (I)
Since Laura's accident in Zhao State, the political situation in Huoyan Country has suddenly become tense under the impetus of well-intentioned people, and it seems that they are ready to go to Zhao State at any time to avenge their dear Princess Laura. In less than a day, Laura returned safely from Zhao State, which embarrassed the politicians who had already prepared, after all, the previous remarks were too arrogant and damaged the image of Huo Yanguo.
As soon as they got off the plane, they were taken away by the security bureau to investigate, and they were secretly interrogated 24 hours a day, asking them why they suddenly traveled to Zhao Kingdom, whether they were assigned or had any special purpose, and why they suddenly disappeared for 24 hours.
When Zhao Chun said that the drifting rubber boat had malfunctioned and deviated from the track, so that they were washed under the waterfall and were unconscious for a day before they woke up, the interrogators looked at him with obvious disbelief, which means that the water flow of the waterfall is so large, the drop is so high, and the impact can be imagined, how could the two of them come back unscathed?
Zhao Chun naturally wouldn't tell them the slightest truth, and used "accidents" to prevaricate everything, which made "accidents" not only lie down, but also carry a big black cauldron.
Facts also proved that Zhao Chun's strategy was right, they just went through the motions and tested the two, and did not expect any unexpected gains, and under the intervention of the president, they could not review it for too long, so they had to end the matter hastily and release the people.
But although Laura passed the security bureau, she still had to face the president, and the president was obviously very angry about this matter, not only scolded her, but also grounded her for half a year, during which she was not allowed to go anywhere except the imperial capital, otherwise her legs would be broken!
This is a bitter thing for Laura, she is a person who can't sit still, and she feels uncomfortable when she doesn't go out for a day, which makes her not go outside for half a year, doesn't it cost her her her life?
This made Laura feel a little devastated, but there were Bhatti's eyeliners everywhere, not only the president's every move was monitored, but Laura's words and deeds were no exception, especially when the accident of Zhao Guo just happened, their surveillance was even more strict. Naturally, she can't show too much abnormality, lest those people do anything against her again, sometimes the political struggle is very cruel, and blood is shed at every turn.
Fortunately, however, the naval commander Wang Cheng recently returned to the imperial capital for a meeting, and brought his eighty-year-old father, who had been ill for many years, back to the imperial capital for treatment. General Wang Cheng is still unmarried, he had a relationship when he was young, but the woman later betrayed him, and he swore in a fit of anger that he would never marry again in this life. And he also has a younger brother, this younger brother is farming in the countryside of Province B, two years ago his nephew graduated from college, but he has not been able to find a job, his younger brother came to beg him to go away, to arrange an easier job for his nephew, but he disagreed, saying that he could not violate the discipline of the army, could not go through the back door to open a small stove, and asked his nephew to find a job with his own ability, earn money with his ability, and fight for his own future.
His words were so angry that his younger brother wanted to break off the brotherly relationship with him on the spot, originally the old father followed his younger brother and his wife to live in the countryside, and now the younger brother said that he has also raised the old man for so many years, and it will be the turn of the eldest brother in the future, and the ancestral houses and fields in the countryside belong to the younger brother, in short, he only has obligations in the future, no rights.
Wang Cheng only smiled bitterly, over the years, he devoted himself to his work, and often had a mission in the army for several years, and he really owed a lot to his father, so even if he was busy with work, he took his father with him for treatment and raised him for the rest of his life, he didn't have any complaints, but his honest brother became like this under the influence of his brother-in-law, which made people feel a little chilling.
This day happened to be Wang Cheng's father's birthday, he didn't tell anyone in a low-key manner, and he didn't plan to hold any banquet to celebrate, he just bought a few catties of shrimp, mutton, beef, etc., ready to cook a few home-cooked dishes, and then order a cake to celebrate for his father.
However, to his surprise, several of his friends in the army got the news that it was the old man's birthday somewhere, and even brought wine and food to celebrate with him. Laura also secretly brought Zhao Chun here, because Wang Cheng had a good relationship with the president, and was once a comrade-in-arms a long time ago, but in recent years, both of them have been in high positions, except for official exchanges, but private people rarely get together together.
Wang Cheng's residence in the imperial capital is located in the N area, which is specially allocated by the state to the senior generals in the army, the environment here is beautiful, and the guards are strict, if it weren't for Laura's special identity, and she also called Wang Cheng and asked him to send someone to pick him up, otherwise Zhao Chun really couldn't go in. And the first time he came to such a heavily guarded place, it was the first time that Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
Although Wang Cheng is low-key, he is still very happy to have so many old friends come to eat and drink, after all, people are social creatures, and no one is born to like to live alone. Especially the old man, usually his son is busy, not much time to accompany, just he is with a nanny, the loneliness can be imagined, it is his birthday, there are so many people to celebrate him, he is naturally very happy, laughing so much that his mouth can't close, it seems that many years of illness have been cured.
Laura seems to have a special fit with these generals, she was raised by them, although the current political situation in the country is not very good, no one knows who is a human and who is a ghost, but this does not affect their apparent harmony - they are all people who have been friends for many years.
These people have made an appointment not to bring their juniors over, so there are only two young people in the banquet, Laura and Zhao Chun, it can be seen that these people are not very friendly to Zhao Chun, especially an army chief of staff named Qin Huaizhong, he has a son who is about the same age as Laura, and he has always wanted to match the two of them together. However, now Laura is carrying such a rice bucket in and out of pairs, which naturally makes him very uncomfortable, and he is extremely cynical during the banquet.
Zhao Chun was innocently lying on the gun, naturally very depressed, but he had to deal with it carefully, so as not to fail the mission of this trip. In the words of the system, Wang Cheng's temper is stinky, hard and old-fashioned, and there is nothing worth it can value, so it is unwilling to trade with Wang Cheng.
In the end, Zhao Chun threatened it that if it didn't agree to this transaction, Zhao Chun wouldn't trade it when it urgently needed anything in the future, so it reluctantly agreed. And it seems that Zhao Chun successfully advanced to the middle stage of the awakening realm equivalent to the spirit level of a meridian cultivator, which made it see a glimmer of hope, so he spoke to Zhao Chun, otherwise no matter how Zhao Chun tossed, it would be silent.
Laura was so happy when she saw that Zhao Chun was being targeted because of her, and she added fuel and vinegar from time to time, and she couldn't wait for these two to fight for her. This made a group of battle-hardened old guys shake their heads - today this Qin staff officer is embarrassed and thrown home, and he is jealous of a junior, what kind of system.
By the time the cake was cut to celebrate the old man's birthday, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and after everyone had eaten the cake, they all said goodbye one by one, and in the end only Laura and Zhao Chun, who were not leaving.
