Chapter 1: The Soldier King Retires

"Li Tao, this time you violated the regulations privately, causing the entire action plan to fail, so I can't protect you, you can go!"

At the secret training base of a certain military region in China, an old man wearing a military uniform sat on a chair, looking at the man standing in front of him, and he said this sentence helplessly.

Although the old man was the supreme commander of this military region, and he was also a general, he liked the man in front of him very much, but he also had to obey the orders of his superiors.

The military order is like a mountain!

Li Tao couldn't believe what he heard, he always thought that at most it would be confinement, no matter how bad it was, it would just be a demotion, and he would no longer lead the Dragon Squad, but he never thought that it would be this result.

Li Tao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he looked at the confidentiality agreement and demobilization documents on the table, more than 20 years of army life, he still didn't say anything more, picked up the pen and signed the document and pressed his handprint, then suddenly straightened his waist and saluted the old man and said: "Old chief, I'm leaving!" ”

Looking at Li Tao who turned around and walked out, the old man's heart was very unbearable, although this was a good seedling, and he was also his favorite soldier, and he was also the most powerful soldier king of the Dragon Clan, but he still couldn't keep him, because Li Tao was too easy to get emotional.

And the failure of this operation was because of his emotion, if he hadn't tried his best to apply to the above, I'm afraid Li Tao would not have been as simple as forced demobilization.

"Xiao Tao." The old man took off his majesty, and when he saw that Li Tao stopped but didn't look back, he didn't care and continued: "You were too reckless this time, fortunately there were no casualties, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to protect you!" Being able to demobilize you now is the biggest bottom line I can strive for, but you remember that you can't go abroad for ten years, and you can't use the methods you have learned to do anything wrong, otherwise the dragons will be your enemies at that time. ”

Li Tao's hand was on the doorknob and paused, then he opened the door: "I know." ”

After saying that, he closed the door with a "bang" and left.

And this time, Li Tao will leave the Dragon Clan forever, leave the army forever, from now on, the Dragon Clan will no longer have him as a lieutenant colonel, and there will be no soldier king.

Li Tao walked quietly, without the farewell of his teammates, because he didn't tell anyone, and by the time they knew that their captain had left, Li Tao had already arrived in City B, the capital of China.

When Li Tao walked out of the airport, looking at the crowd coming and going, seriously, he didn't have anywhere to go.

In his memory, he grew up in the dragon clan since he was a child, and it can be said that he was an orphan, fatherless and motherless, and when he was a child, he learned all kinds of knowledge in addition to training; And when he grew up, he began to perform various tasks, until he became the king of soldiers in recent years, leading the dragon team to carry out tasks.

Li Tao was carrying his backpack and was about to take a taxi, when he suddenly found that in the crowd of people picking up people, there was a middle-aged man holding a sign with "Li Tao" written on it, which was his name.

It is impossible to pay attention to Li Tao if he only relies on these, after all, there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and there is no guarantee that there will be a time to meet them.

What really caught his attention was a very inconspicuous symbol in the lower right corner of the brand, which was a secret symbol for the dragons.

Li Tao thought about it, and walked straight towards the middle-aged man, then stood in front of the other party, didn't speak, just looked at the other party like this, and secretly decided in his heart: "If you can't prove yourself, the consequence is death." ”

The middle-aged man saw a young man in front of him, although the other party didn't speak, but the unique temperament of the soldier still made him recognize Li Tao.

The middle-aged man smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello! You're Li Tao, right? ”

"Who are you?" Li Tao did not answer the other party, nor did he reach out to shake hands with the middle-aged man.

Seeing that Li Tao was so vigilant, the middle-aged man didn't care, so he withdrew his hand in embarrassment, smiled and lowered his voice and said: "I am sent by Chief Long to pick you up, my name is Wang Jianguo, and I am the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Public Security Department of City B, this is my ID." ”

Li Tao was very suspicious and took the document in Wang Jianguo's hand and looked at it, it was not difficult to see the authenticity of the document with his eyesight, but he still had a skeptical mentality, after all, in today's society, many real things are also fake.

Wang Jianguo saw that Li Tao still didn't trust him, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed a call: "Brother Li Tao, you wait." ”

The phone was quickly connected, Wang Jianguo suddenly stood up straight, said a few words very seriously, and then handed the phone to Li Tao.

As soon as Li Tao looked at Wang Jianguo's posture just now, he knew that this person had also been a soldier before, and now he took the phone and looked at it, and there was only one word "dragon" written on it.

"Hello?"

"Hehe, Xiaotao, it's me, you've arrived in the capital, haven't you?" There was a familiar laughter on the phone, and Li Tao knew that it was the voice of the old chief just by hearing it.

"Old chief, it's me, I've arrived." Li Tao involuntarily straightened up, and after saying a few words to the old chief, he hung up the phone and returned the phone to Wang Jianguo.

The content of the phone call is actually very simple, it is nothing more than to dispel Li Tao's suspicions and prove Wang Jianguo, and the old chief's last words are like this.

"Xiao Tao, I brought you back back then, so I know your situation, Xiao Wang is a person you can trust, if you really want to talk about it, he is still your comrade-in-arms, and he used to be from the Dragon Clan."

"Hehe, do you believe me now?" Wang Jianguo took the phone with a smile.

Li Tao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Uh. . . Brother Wang, I'm sorry. ”

Wang Jianguo laughed twice after hearing this, took the backpack in Li Tao's hand and walked towards the outside of the airport: "Don't call me big brother, I'm 46 years old, and the children are almost as old as you, so you should call me Uncle Sheng." ”

"Yes! Uncle Wang! Li Tao immediately wanted to salute, but as soon as his hand was raised in the air, he stopped, and then he remembered that he was no longer a soldier.

Wang Jianguo thought something was wrong, how to stop walking and walking, and when he saw this posture, he laughed twice and pulled Li Tao towards his car.

Li Tao sat in Wang Jianguo's car, looking at the cityscape outside, although he could feel it many times when he went abroad to perform a mission, but after all, he was abroad, and because of the mission, he had never been so relaxed as now.

From the airport to the city, the car walked for more than half an hour before it stopped on a street with a large number of people.

"Hungry, aren't you?" Wang Jianguo saw a parking space and immediately parked his car in it.

"Well, sort of." Li Tao nodded, he was indeed hungry, he had always felt unconvinced because of the demobilization, but now after he relaxed, his stomach also protested.

Wang Jianguo patted Li Tao on the shoulder: "Put the bag in the car, let's go, Uncle Wang will take you to taste the roast duck." ”

The roast duck in City B is famous all over the world, but sometimes, people who don't know the mystery can rarely eat it.

Li Tao is like this, he has been to City B more than once, and he has naturally eaten roast duck many times, but this time Wang Jianguo has not been to the place where he took him to eat before; And when the roast duck was brought up, Li Tao took a bite, and knew that the roast duck he had eaten before was all fake, and the one in front of him was the most authentic.

"Waiter! Roast duck again! Wang Jianguo shouted with a smile.

It's only been a few minutes, and Li Tao is really not polite, a plate of roast duck is already very little, but he is really hungry.

Hearing Wang Jianguo's shout, Li Tao stopped, smiled at Wang Jianguo awkwardly, picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten for a day and a night, don't worry too much." ”

"It's okay, let go of eating, it's not enough to order more." Wang Jianguo smiled, and as soon as he clinked his glass, he drank a glass of wine.

Li Tao saw that Wang Jianguo was so easy-going, so he didn't care, got up and filled the other party with wine, and then chatted.

After the waiter served a plate of roast duck again, he had already drunk three rounds at this time, Wang Jianguo actually didn't eat much, most of them were eaten by Li Tao, because it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet a meal.

After Li Tao's swept away, Wang Jianguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Tao, who quickly took it with both hands, and both of them took a puff before relaxing.

"Xiao Tao, although Uncle Wang, I don't know what happened, but wouldn't it be too hasty to demobilize from that place?" Wang Jianguo exhaled smoke, and with a hint of wine, he finally asked what he had always wanted to ask.

In fact, when he received a call from the old chief, Wang Jianguo was very surprised, because it was almost impossible for this call to come for several years; And when he heard that he was asked to receive and take care of a demobilized dragon member, he couldn't believe it, after all, it was a place to win glory for the country, and it was not a place where everyone could enter.

But this is the order of the old chief, and he can only obey it.

"Whew!!" Li Tao took a deep breath, and then spit out: "Uncle Wang, I won't tell you, it's actually because of a task, as for what the task is, I can't say." ”

"Oh?" Wang Jianguo's eyes lit up after hearing this: "So, didn't you propose it yourself?" ”

Li Tao nodded and did not speak.

"Then I see." Wang Jianguo saw Li Tao nodding, and the unhappiness in his heart was finally relieved, thought about it, and then asked, "Then what are your plans next?" ”

Li Tao shook his head: "Not yet, let's take a step at a time." ”

"Are you interested in coming to the Criminal Investigation Brigade?" Wang Jianguo's eyes lit up, although he didn't know what Li Tao's strength was, but just by being able to enter the Dragon Clan, he dared to conclude that his strength was definitely not weak.

As soon as Li Tao heard this, he paused in his smoking, although whether he was a policeman or a soldier, he was serving the country, but he suddenly wanted to change his life, a free and easy life.

"Uncle Wang, I thank you for your kindness, but I want to give myself a vacation for the time being." Li Tao said.
