Chapter 163: A Wedding Without a Bride
I can see that Dongfang Yu has some opinions about me, and although there is a lot of caring in his tone, there is no lack of blame for me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I smiled and said, "Why are you sitting at this meeting?" Has it been promoted? β
Dongfang Yu nodded slightly, suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand, and said with some sadness: "Why don't you even call us?" Don't you know how worried we are about you? β
As soon as I wanted to speak, I heard Chen Jing's voice coming: "He doesn't know how happy he is outside, how could he think of calling us?" β
I turned around and saw Chen Jing and Li Huanhuan, as well as Du Yifei, Zhou Hui, Bai Feng and others walking in. Only then did I understand what Mr. Chen meant by leaving me, it turned out that he wanted me to meet these friends who I hadn't seen for a long time.
When I returned to the Dragon Protector this time, I was almost non-stop busy, and I hadn't seen anyone else except Chen Jing.
I was a little excited, and I felt like I was meeting again after a long absence. I'd love to go up and grab these friends and have a good chat. But now that Chen Lao and the others are still here, I have to pay attention to the impact, and I can only look at these friends and laugh.
Chen Jing had seen me before, so she didn't feel much excitement, she just glanced at me, and then said with a smile: "We have very little time, everyone can talk if you have something, don't waste time." β
Dongfang Yu still took my hand and was the first to say, "I strongly ask Jincang to take us when he goes to the Three Gorges Reservoir area this time." β
Dongfang Yu's words were like a fuse, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately continued: "I'm going with him too, he can't leave us alone anymore." β
The person who said this was Du Yifei, she looked more mature than before, and she was more domineering when she spoke, which was a little different from the previous Du Yifei.
Li Huanhuan still has opinions about me, and after seeing me, he didn't give me a good face, let alone talk to me.
Zhou Hui and Bai Feng remained silent, just looking at me with a clear sense of blame in their eyes.
I had the heart to say a few words to them, but Chen Lao said at this time: "I'll talk about the love of children later, you still have a long time!" Now I have a task for you, and you all listen. β
A few of us were still very obedient to Elder Chen's words, so we quieted down together and waited for Elder Chen's order.
"You're all family...... Am I not wrong to say that? So this time, after discussing it, we decided that you should go to the Three Gorges Reservoir area together. There was something strange in Old Chen's words: "We hope that you can really be together this time, at the very least, and bring us a few big fat boys to Huaxia." β
Chen Lao's words made several of my friends, including Chen Jing, blush, and I also felt a little embarrassed, so I couldn't help but glance at my friends, for fear that they would be angry because of Chen Lao's words.
Chen Lao didn't seem to notice our strange expression, and still said: "To be honest, you are all big people now, and it's time to get married and have children." A few of our old guys discussed it for a long time, and thought that since you girls all like Jincang, it would be better to marry him together. β
Chen Jing was the first to object: "How can this be? So many of us are marrying him alone, which is inconsistent with the law and reason. β
Li Huanhuan couldn't help but say: "Whoever loves to marry him will marry, don't count me in it." β
Du Yifei said loudly: "Okay, I can finally be with Jincang in the open, see who of you will dare to say that I am not his fiancΓ©e in the future, and I am not allowed to be with him?" β
Zhou Hui and Bai Feng were still silent, but they obviously didn't agree with Chen Lao's proposal, but they were embarrassed to say it.
Dongfang Yu didn't say anything, just glared at me fiercely, as if he was going to eat me.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, feeling like I had nothing to say. Chen Lao said for me: "If any of you really refuse to marry Jincang, I will immediately take out whose name is from the list of going to the Three Gorges Reservoir area this time." You can tell me now, which of you won't marry Kanecang? β
The conference room suddenly fell silent, and Du Yifei and the others, who were still talking, immediately closed their mouths.
Chen Lao laughed and said, "I'll just say that you young people like to pretend to be ...... Still loaded? I'm really getting Jincang to leave you. Don't think I don't know, you guys all love this kid from Jincang. β
Chen Jing seemed to be angry in her heart, and said with anger: "This is a private matter between us, as the head of the military department, shouldn't you ask about these things?" β
As soon as Chen Lao was about to speak, Li Huanhuan continued: "That is, although you are an elder, you can't arrange our marriage." And it's such an unfair marriage! β
Chen Lao suddenly spoke, looked back at me, sighed, and reluctantly said: "I can't help you anymore, you can take care of your own mess by yourself!" β
I smiled bitterly, and was about to talk to Chen Jing and the others, but they collectively turned around, but no one paid attention to me.
Chen Lao couldn't help but laugh out loud, but this time he didn't speak again, and left the conference room with Long Jinfeng and Wen Wu.
I knew that if I didn't make my words clear today, the days ahead would be even more difficult, so I said ruthlessly: "You don't have to be like this, I know I'm sorry for you, and you have opinions about me...... In this way, you can choose to leave me, or marry me, and I will respect your choice. β
As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Jing was the first to raise his leg and leave, so it was clear that he wanted to leave here and ignore me again.
I was in a hurry, and I wanted to reach out to stop Chen Jing. However, I just said that I would respect their choice, and if I regret it now, it will not be too much like a man. So my outstretched hand slowly retracted.
Li Huanhuan almost walked away with Chen Jing with her legs, and she didn't have any nostalgia when she left. Followed by Li Huanhuan was Zhou Hui and Bai Feng, and then Du Yifei, who was very happy just now.
I watched their backs disappear before my eyes, and I almost couldn't help but scream. To be honest, I really have a lot of heart in my heart, and I really can't let go of a few of them!
Now that they have left me en masse, I feel like I have lost my most precious thing all at once, full of emptiness.
Fortunately, Dongfang Yu didn't leave, and I didn't feel too lonely. So I looked at Dongfang Yu and opened my mouth to speak.
Dongfang Yu broke free from my hand at this moment, and strode away without looking back, leaving me alone to look at her back in a daze.
I felt abandoned, I didn't react for a while, I just felt bad.
This is something I've never felt before, so I feel uncomfortable and helpless, as if I have really been abandoned by people all over the world.
I sat alone in this empty conference room, staring at the ceiling in a daze. I never thought that Chen Jing would leave me without hesitation. I thought that at least a few of them would stay with me. It seems that I think too highly of myself and don't know my friends too well.
I began to think back to the days I had with them, and I also began to think back to the scenes I had known them. I suddenly found it hard for me to really leave them. It was very uncomfortable, very reluctant and strange for me to leave them, as if they were asking me to leave my own relatives!
I suddenly remembered a novel I had read a long time ago, and the title of the novel was "A Wedding Without a Bride". Now mine, as it is said in the novel, is alone, and there is no bride if you want to get married.
It's strange that I don't hate Chen Jing at all. Maybe I know I'm a big carrot and I don't deserve to live with them. They are so good, and each one of them is enough for me to love and care for with everything I have. But I just got mixed with each of them at the same time, and it's strange that they don't leave me.
Thinking about this, I suddenly became enlightened. I didn't let go of Chen Jing and them because of this, but I was happy for Chen Jing and them. After all, now that they have left me, they will have a better life, and I will be happy for their bright future.
So I stood up and walked to the door of the conference room.
"You've finally been abandoned?" As soon as I went out, I heard Sun Heng's voice: "You kid, it's really ...... Your cousin is right, you kid is a flower heart, and the result will be miserable! β
I smiled wryly, "Is my cousin okay?" What about my nephew? Or a niece? The last time we met, we were in a hurry, I didn't even ask about it, I'm sorry. β
Sun Heng stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You, how forgetful you are!" I don't blame you, as long as your cousin doesn't get angry after you see your cousin for a while. By the way, I have a son and a daughter, and they were supposed to call you uncle, but unfortunately, your cousin was reluctant. β
I wondered, "Why not?" It was their uncle! β
Sun Heng laughed and said, "Isn't it because when the child is full moon, your kid didn't even send a gift?" You said that you are really, it doesn't matter if people can't come, you have to give some gifts, right? I've always been the best brother when you're still the best. β
I smiled bitterly and said, "Wouldn't I just make it up another day, there's no need to do this to me, right?" After a pause: "Master Sun, you are a busy person now, why do you have time to come to me?" You can't just come to me for a gift, right? β
Sun Heng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "I came here to discuss with you, can you take me and your cousin with you when you go to the Three Gorges Reservoir area this time?" We also want to go over. β
I was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "How can I do this to you?" You are now the commander of the Dragon Guardian Division, and it is impossible to change the location casually. β
Sun Heng sighed: "I'm no longer the commander of the Dragon Protector!" β
I was taken aback: "What do you mean?" β
Sun Heng said: "I was transferred out of the Dragon Protector and am still on standby. If you can take me to the Three Gorges Reservoir area, I can go with you right away. β
I frowned and said, "When did this happen, why don't I know?" Did you make a mistake? β
Sun Heng shook his head and turned to look at the sky: "To be honest, I don't know what the reason is, I only know that this is an order given to me by Elder Chen himself." β
I was already disturbed by the departure of Chen Jing and the others, but now that I heard the news of Sun Heng's resignation, I couldn't help but be a little anxious: "I'll ask Old Chen, what is the reason why you and I left the Dragon Protector." β
Sun Heng didn't stop me, but followed me to find Old Chen, and it seemed that he was also very puzzled about this matter in his heart.
Chen Lao seemed to know that we would go to him, so he was waiting for us outside his office. When he saw me and Sun Heng, he smiled and said, "Are you here?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. β
I knew that Elder Chen must be waiting to give us an explanation, so he asked directly, "Why did Sun Heng and I just be transferred out of the Dragon Protector?" β
Chen Lao smiled and turned to walk into his office. We followed in, and Chen Lao pointed to the sofa in the office and said, "You sit down first, and wait for me to tell you the truth of everything slowly." β
Sun Heng and I sat down, and Mr. Chen's secretary, Xiao Zhang, poured us a glass of water.
After Chen Lao motioned for Xiao Zhang to go out, he said to me and Sun Heng: "To put it simply, it was the idea of Wen Wu and me for you to leave the Dragon Protector. I think you should have thought of some of the specific reasons, and now I will tell you in detail. β
Sun Heng and I glanced at each other, both of them looking surprised and puzzled.
Chen Lao continued: "As you all know, the situation in our Huaxia Kingdom is not good now, there are strong enemies outside, and there is turmoil inside, so it can be said that it is already in a critical period of survival. The strength of our military can now only barely suppress the foreign enemy. For the internal turmoil in our Huaxia Kingdom, we are already powerless. β
Sun Heng and I couldn't help but say in unison: "Weak heart? β
Chen Lao nodded slightly: "You may not know that in the past few years, in order to integrate with international standards, our Huaxia Kingdom carried out large-scale disarmament, and the number of active soldiers was greatly reduced, and we suffered heavy losses on the battlefield in the south some time ago...... So now our soldiers can only deal with the invasion of foreign enemies. β
I remembered our previous losses on the southern battlefield, and I couldn't help but nod: "Then how many soldiers do our military have to go to the battlefield now?" β
Old Chen groaned slightly, looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that he was reluctant to tell us this. However, he still said: "In addition to the reserve soldiers from all over the country, those who can still go to the battlefield now, as well as the soldiers who are already on the battlefield, we have counted that there are less than 300,000 people." β
I frowned slightly: "Three hundred thousand? It's a little less, but it should be enough to deal with the invading enemy. Why do you say we are still short of personnel? β
Chen Lao sighed: "You don't know, our current front is too long, and 300,000 people are not enough. In fact, if we cannot achieve a decisive victory, not to mention 300,000 people, even 300,000 more will not be enough. β
I nodded: "It seems that the current situation is not optimistic." Chief, what do you want us to do, please give orders. β
After pondering for a moment, Chen Lao said to me with some surprise: "I hope you can get married immediately......
I said, "Ahhh This...... Does it have anything to do with where we are now? β
Chen Lao pondered for a moment again, and then said, "I know that you are in conflict with Chen Jing and them now, and they will not marry you at this time...... However, I think that in order to completely bring the Goddess Organization under the jurisdiction of our military, you will have to make sacrifices......"
I frowned secretly, "You mean to say that I am married to a certain high-ranking member of the goddess organization?" This...... It's like a political marriage......"
Chen Lao nodded: "You're right, that's what our military means." No matter what you like...... Or whoever you want to marry you, I will propose to the Queen Mother for you. All you have to do is name the person, and I'll be sure I can give you the wedding in three days. β
I smiled wryly, "Is this an order?" What a ridiculous feeling! β
Chen Laoyi's face was straight: "Don't underestimate this order, political marriage is the crystallization of the wisdom of my Huaxia Kingdom for thousands of years." Once you combine with someone in the goddesses, the goddess organization will definitely truly join our military, and then we will be able to have a full 200,000 more troops at once, and we can completely break our current predicament. Your kid's credit is also great. β
I frowned tightly, but I didn't know how to refute Old Chen. In the face of the life and death of the country, those personal things are negligible, and I have nothing to say.
Sun Heng was also surprised and puzzled, and seemed to be very puzzled and disdainful of such an order, but he also had nothing to say about this order.
Chen Lao continued: "I know that you are very compatible with the queen mother's daughter, Miss Ying'er, and I also know that Ying'er is now in the Wudang faction, I think you will marry Ying'er temporarily." As for the girl named Charlene, I think it's okay, there is no fate between you. β
I smiled bitterly and said, "You've arranged everything, and now you're just informing me?" β
Chen Lao smiled, a little helpless in his smile: "This time we are sorry for you, so don't say more." Pausing: "Ying'er also agreed to be your bride, but she is now in retreat and can't come over to hold a wedding with you, so this time your wedding, we can only hold it in secret." β
I suddenly understood what Chen Lao meant: they just wanted me to know that my wedding would be reported and promoted by newspapers, TV and other major media, but I personally didn't need to be with Ying'er. This is a game used to confuse outsiders, and the role it plays is only to let the world know that our military now has one more ally, one more strength, and can completely defeat all our current enemies.
I figured it out and nodded in agreement. I don't have any losses, but I can fight for enough strength for Huaxia to resist other places, why not? But if Chen Jing and the others knew about this, they didn't know if they would leave me completely because of this, so that I would really become a married man without a bride.
Seeing that I agreed, Chen Lao said happily: "Then we will contact the media and tell the world tomorrow that Jincang, one of the heads of our military department, has joined forces with the queen mother and daughter of the goddess organization, the largest underground force in China at present, and the military strength of our Huaxia country will develop by leaps and bounds, so that those hostile forces will no longer dare to attack us recklessly." β
Chen Lao's excitement, I know that it is sincerely happy for the peace that is about to come in Huaxia Kingdom. So I also smiled and said, "I am also very happy to be able to do my part for Huaxia." β
Sun Heng was still puzzled, and there were three points of worry on his face. I knew that he was worried that I wouldn't be able to face Chen Jing and them in the future, so I whispered to him, "Don't worry, when Huaxia really settles down, I will explain this matter to them." β
Sun Heng nodded slightly: "I'm afraid that everything will change by then, and those friends of yours will either marry other people's wives, or they have completely lost confidence in you and stayed away from you!" β
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Sun Heng's words were very reasonable, and I wanted to regret it for a while. But then I thought about it: if they really love me, they should understand me. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if the friendship between us has not reached the point where we can rely on it for life......
This thought of mine made me feel a little relieved, but I didn't know that just like when I promised Chen Lao a few months ago to go to the Goddess Organization to investigate the rebellion against the Goddess Organization, I left a huge hidden danger for myself and put myself in a situation where I couldn't turn back. And the degree of this desperate situation is getting deeper and deeper.
