154. Night talk
"Who told you to get that plague god back?"
In a richly decorated and luxuriously furnished room, an old man with white hair and a gorgeous costume roared there, frightening the necks of several high-ranking officials present.
The old man was angry, his wrinkled old face was red to the root of his ears, his sparse eyebrows were twisted like twists, but his dim old eyes looked directly at the group of useless disciples and grandchildren, and his eyes were full of indescribable anger.
If someone sees it, he will definitely be speechless in surprise, because these people who are reprimanded by him at this moment are not cats and dogs who do not learn and have no skills, but all of them are generals and officials in high positions. However, the departments they belong to are quite mixed, including those from the Military Administration Department, the Logistics Department, the Third Guard, the Supervision Department, and even the people from the Scientific Research Department, which has never asked about foreign affairs, are also impressively listed, and the level of these people is really not low.
Take the guy on the far left who bows his head and keeps glancing at the side, this one is Lieutenant General Pang Hai, who is now the border guard of the General Administration of the Military and Political Department. Although the military rank is only to lieutenant general, but because he is in the department of real power, other generals can't control him, and now that the marshal has retreated behind the scenes and does not ask about government affairs, except for Yang Dingguo, chief of staff of his immediate boss, Yang Dingguo, the chief of staff of the General Staff, he is the number two person who deserves his name.
The upright guy with a hook-nosed face who was slapped by him was Marshall, the presiding judge of the Third Trial.
Looking at the others, although the level cannot be compared with these two, they are both today's powerful ministers, and it can be said that the military and political leaders of the naval command have left a microcosm here and gathered together.
Seeing that Marshall slyly avoided his gaze and was reluctant to come out, Pang Hai, who had no choice, could only curse in his heart and persuaded: "Old Dong, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry for a hairy boy." β
"Shut up! I'm not mad at you! β
Rao was ready to be scolded, but he didn't expect to be spit on him by the old man's saliva.
There was a low laugh on the side, Pang Hai couldn't help but feel angry, but if he wanted to confront the old man in front of him, he still didn't dare, so he only glanced around with a threatening and resentful gaze, and he couldn't stop the strange sounds around him. Just as he didn't want to provoke Old Man Dong, others didn't want to provoke this prosperous General Military Administration.
But the old man didn't let them go, stomped on his crutches, and said in a deep voice: "I tell you a thousand times, that kid is a scourge, very evil, don't provoke him if you have nothing to do, you just don't listen." I'm old, I'm too old to be useful, and you're all taking my words as a deaf ear, aren't you? β
A group of people hurriedly said: "How can you, you should be old and strong, what will you do without you." And so on.
Of course, what you think in your heart is another matter.
At least in Pang Hai's eyes, Old Man Dong has already been frightened, isn't he just a lucky kid with a little ability, so he needs to be afraid of being like this? If he was in power at the beginning, then we wouldn't be able to talk about it, maybe he would have to be a man with his tail between his legs, but now he has been released to the sea, losing power and power, this is still afraid of an egg, is it a man?
Not only Pang Hai, it is estimated that half of the people gathered in this room thought so, although there was no disrespect in their words, but their faces were from the heart, and the old man surnamed Dong could still see that they were hiding a trace of disapproval under respect.
Dong Lao finally suppressed his anger and taught earnestly: "I don't blame you for looking down on him, because everyone here basically hasn't experienced that coup d'Γ©tat, let alone the parties involved in the beginning, and those who are parties can no longer speak now." β
Seeing that someone's face changed slightly and was about to speak, the old man knocked on his crutches, stopped the other party, and continued: "Think about Korewin, Fei Chaoqing, how majestic they were at that time, they were just like you, they looked down on this fledgling little ghost, and they had to play tricks to humiliate each other completely, what was the result? β
"They accidentally landed."
"The result?" The old man suddenly said angrily.
"Dead." The others could only reply with their heads bowed dryly.
"All of them were killed by the little ghosts they looked down on at the beginning, what a good means, the thunder power swept away the eyes and ears that we arranged in the naval headquarters, if it wasn't for Yuan Zhenhai who compromised later, I really thought that this was a strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf...... I'm not good to say here, if they Marshall, Fei Chaoqing, they don't trust them, where is the organization still using waste like yours now! β
The old man's words made Pang Hai and the others' faces suddenly red and white, but they lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to refute.
Old man Dong's words are right, if it weren't for the predators who used to control the dynasty, it would not have been their turn to take the position.
"But in this case, I should take this opportunity to take revenge on that little rabbit cub in one fell swoop!"
"Bastard, you think you don't want to," the old man hated it most when someone interrupted his words, and glared angrily: "Don't forget whose territory is here, the old dog still has a few teeth, do you really think Yuan Zhenhai is a vegetarian?" β
Compared with Yuan Yi, the name of the old marshal, who has been in town for 30 years, is obviously more deterrent, and everyone changed their faces.
But Pang Hai didn't want what he had worked so hard to arrange to go down the drain.
"Old man Yuan has not asked about the world for more than a year, since that incident, no one is willing to come to the door again, what else does he do, if he really has, how can he watch us clean Yanjing, now he is guarding his own one-third of an acre of land at most, if we don't come to the door to trouble him, he should burn high incense."
"Biting dogs don't bark," Old Man Dong sneered, he glanced at Pang Hai again, which would be a completely contemptuous gaze: "Only useless dogs will bark there wildly, in order to hide their incompetence." β
"You!" The mud bodhisattva still has three points of earthiness, not to mention Pang Hai, who is now in a high position, he stood tall, and his huge body, which was two heads taller than ordinary people, stood up like a tower, staring at Old Man Dong condescendingly. Although the height of the two is not proportional, Old Man Dong is like a pine and cypress standing there, let you storm and rain, I will stand still.
Pang Hai's arrogant move obviously frightened everyone around him, and even he himself couldn't help but be startled, but the matter has come to this point, never this kind of thing again, Pang Hai simply felt sideways, and said: "I've heard enough of your tirade about destroying your own prestige, I'm leaving, I don't believe that we won't be able to play without you Old Man Dong." If you are willing to stay and listen to the old man talk about those old things, I will not stop you, but if you are willing to really do big things, come with me, I will pack a ticket to you, and when the time comes, you will be indispensable when you are rewarded for meritorious deeds. β
Pang Hai put down the cruel words, and patted his ass and left without looking at anyone more, and what can get to him at this point, although there are indispensable opportunities, but if he has no personality charm and ability, it is unlikely, and soon, Pang Hai took away a group of people.
Old man Dong didn't stop them, and let them go.
The people who stayed still accounted for most of them, which showed the strength of Old Man Dong's prestige, but he didn't leave these people behind, and waved his hand: "Although Pang Hai is disrespectful to me, but because this is a major event of the organization, so don't rebel in the nest now, if he needs it, you can also help him." I'm going to rest, so let's go. β
This is like an eviction order, several officials exchanged a look with each other, and then said a word of farewell, and they all retreated, only Marshall, who was the third guard, did not move.
Old man Dong didn't seem surprised by what he left behind, and when he saw the others rushing out, the door of the hall was closed again by the guards guarding the door, and asked, "What do you think?" β
"The teacher is borrowing a knife to kill people, and by the way, let's test the marshal's hidden strength."
"His strength doesn't need to be tried, you have been here and I for so many years, and I know the roots." There were only these two people left in the room, and what was amazing was that the old man Dong, who had a hot personality and sharp words just now, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and suddenly sat quietly on the chair with a gold-inlaid handle and duck down filling.
"Then Pang Hai is dead." Marshall was not using a question.
Old man Dong nodded.
The atmosphere of silence was only for a moment, and soon I heard Old Man Dong say: "Although my generation does things, many things are informal, but there is one thing that the purpose must not change, that is, for the sake of righteousness, it must be to defeat the old enemy of the deep sea, open up the territory, and restore the stable and peaceful living space of mankind." β
Marshall nodded.
But a villain like Pang Hai who is full of interests is short-sighted, and he only sees a fool who fights for power and profit, thinking that infighting is the goal, so he should give it up as soon as possible, so as not to leave the fishy body in his hands. I thought that the original Kolevin and his ilk were like this, I originally thought that although they were arbitrary, they were also clear about their doctrine, and they turned a blind eye to many things and let them go, but as a result, they made such a mess for me, it was simply self-inflicted, and their only use was to make the old man Yuan, who had always been arbitrary, give in, but this could not make up for our losses, disrupted the arrangement of the organization, and died at that time, which was cheap for them. The old man's face said with a hint of coldness.
After saying this, Old Man Dong looked at his disciple, on the whole, he was very satisfied with Marshall, he was clear, calm, and very brainy, but he still had to beat it, so as not to get carried away by the young man, although Marshall was already forty years old, but in the eyes of Old Man Dong, he was still a young man.
"I've heard you've been pretty close to the imp Korevin left behind lately." If forty years old is just a young man, then a person in his twenties is naturally a little ghost.
"He's a good guy." Marshall nodded, and said a nice word for Nanjo.
"Well," Old Man Dong nodded, not denying it: "But if you are a little angry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control." β
"Give him what he wants, and he won't be afraid of disobedience." Marshall still said lightly.
"What does he want?"
"Yuan Yi."
The voice in the room was cut off for a while, and after a while, I remembered Old Man Dong's voice again: "Are you sure?" β
"You don't lose if you try, and even if you don't work, it's just a 'chess piece'."
"Got it, I'll leave this matter to you." Old man Dong sat on the chair and stopped talking, and slowly closed his eyes, this time, it really meant that the conversation ended here.
Marshall bowed to his teacher and retired from the room. Outside, in addition to the guards in the room, a tall man in a black Inquisitor uniform was waiting there.
He was wearing an eyepatch on his right eye, which was the Nanjo Masamune mentioned by Old Man Dong and Marshall just now.
Seeing him Marshall didn't speak, he left by himself, and Nanjo Masamune followed him inch by inch, until the two of them came out of the villa one after the other, and when Marshall stepped into the prepared carriage, Nanjo Masamune asked, "Did Dong Lao say anything?" β
"As planned, let's welcome our 'guests'." Marshall still said without waves.
"Understood." Nanjo Masamune did not follow the carriage, but bowed down and watched the carriage go away.
He turned his head and looked at the brightest star in the east. (To be continued.) )
