Chapter 281: There is a bottom line in everything
"That person just now was my father's personal bodyguard, thank you for not being ruthless just now and abolishing him!" Lei Ting knew Wang Chan's surname very well, and understood the scene just now, Wang Chan was already very face-saving, and thanked him in a low voice while walking. [Full text reading]
Immediately pushed open a wooden door in front of him, Wang Chan saw at a glance that the gray-haired old man Zhang was playing chess with an old man in military uniform.
This old man looks like he is only about fifty years old and less than sixty, and his skeleton is thick, his body is clean and neat, and his face is resolute, and he does not have a bit of old people's mental malaise, but because of the frequent frowning between his eyebrows, over time it will be on the bridge of his nose, and between his eyebrows, a hanging needle pattern like a sword has been formed.
People with this kind of physiognomy are generally born with a fiery temper and are resolute. However, this person, when he sat with Old Man Zhang, his front body leaned slightly, but he was as stable as Mount Tai, and there were countless solemn signs between his bearings. Apparently also a long-time high-ranking figure.
Right now, the two of them are "talking with their hands", on the chessboard carved by Huanghuali on one side, black and white chess pieces, vertical and horizontal, and it is difficult to solve the killing.
There is an essential difference from the leaders seen in most armies today.
In peacetime, war is gradually fading away, and although the quality of the armed forces and the treatment of military expenses have been steadily improved every year, and there are also training and exercises for various unexpected situations, fundamentally speaking, very few modern military personnel have seen blood during their service and have begun to change to professionalism.
And the two old men in front of Wang Chan, whether it was the older old man Zhang or the person sitting opposite him, although they were also comfortable and leisurely when playing chess, they still kept exuding the smell of iron and blood and gunpowder smoke from the war years in their bones.
"You're here, Wang Chan! The old man is blessed by you to have this leisurely time. When I was young, I fought devils in the Northeast, and I often came to Harbin City, but now I revisit my hometown, but I can't find the feeling I had back then!
Hearing that someone had entered the room, Old Man Zhang immediately laughed, raised his head and talked to Wang Chan. As if he had expected that Wang Chan would definitely come today, he was not surprised at all by his sudden appearance in front of him.
"I'm sorry, old man, but I'm embarrassing you. Wang Chan walked forward, found a chair casually, and sat down generously.
"Do you want to know that your affairs are embarrassing? In the past, Zhuangzi said that there was a sword of the Son of Heaven, and a sword of the Shuren. The sword of the Son of Heaven, straight and forward, has no side, breaks the floating clouds on the top, and the Jedi on the bottom, and is the sword of the royal road for the benefit of the country and the people. And the Shuren sword, striking each other in front, cutting off the neck collar, and deciding the liver and lungs, once the life is extinct, it has nothing to use for state affairs, and it is no different from cockfighting, and it can only be grandstanding. Between the two, it is obvious who is higher and who is lower! Wang Chan, I already know the purpose of your return to China this time, I don't know which one are you willing to choose?"
The old man sitting opposite Old Man Zhang suddenly raised his head, the outline of his face was vaguely similar to Thunder, and his eyes were blazing, very attentive.
As soon as Wang Chan saw this person's appearance, he knew that this must be Lei Ting's general's father.
"The Sword of the Son of Heaven, the Sword of the Shuren, I only know that there is a sword of a puppet in this world, and people should not be humiliated, and if they are humiliated, they will draw their swords all the way, ten steps and one person, and they will not be left for thousands of miles. What do you mean by me?" Wang Chan suddenly smiled softly, and his clear eyes calmly met Lei Heng's eyes.
"Haha, haha, it's really the same Wang Chan at the beginning, a good person can't be humiliated! Wang Chan, your surname is getting cleaner and cleaner, I'm not as good as you!" Old man Zhang laughed again: "If I had your state of mind, this trip to Harbin would really be avoided, where would there be this daily trivial matter." I envy you!!"
The Lin family's forces in the army are obviously far inferior to the strength of the Lei family's faction, because whether at home or abroad, the people sent by the Lin family to hunt down Wang Chan almost did not use the strength of the army, and only the wolf tooth brigade that participated in the two [***] exercises for the last time withdrew to China before they had time to meet Wang Chan. If they could control the real power in the army, they would not have secretly cultivated cronies and raised such a large number of international mercenaries.
"I know the conflict between you and the Lin family, but in my opinion, it's not a big deal. All kinds of rights and wrongs are all caused by trivial things, and it doesn't matter how many people are killed. In fact, it's just that the old man of the Lin family protects the calf, loves the child, and wants to do everything possible to bury your life. Wang Chan, for your advice, as long as you are willing to give up everything and come to me to do things, I guarantee that no one will be able to pose any threat to you, and no matter how powerful the Lin family is, it will not be able to reach the core of the army. As long as you have this meaning, I Lei Heng will sing against the Lin family for you, so that no one has to hurt, and it will be of great benefit to the country and the people. If you are not satisfied, I can appoint you as the head of the whole army, with the rank of major general, what do you think?"
Lei Heng took a chess piece in his hand, pressed it on the chessboard with a snap, and at the same time threw out an earth-shattering sentence from his mouth.
"I'm used to being free, I'm not used to looking at people's faces. Besides, I don't want to be here, I just want to hide in the mountains and forests after the capital is over, and do what I want to do. Wang Chan suddenly smiled, but he didn't think about Lei Heng's earth-shattering proposal, only swept his eyebrows lightly, and said his true thoughts softly.
Hearing Wang Chan say this, whether it was Lei Heng or Old Man Zhang, the faces of these two military bigwigs were stunned, and then one suddenly realized and admired deeply, but the other showed a trace of inexplicable expression.
Although both of them are soldiers in the true sense, although Lei Hengren is iron-blooded, he does not know much martial arts, so naturally he can't understand the meaning of Wang Chan's words like Old Man Zhang.
And the old man didn't expect that Wang Chan would answer so simply in front of the two of them, and he also explained the purpose of his trip so clearly.
"Wang Chan, no matter how good your martial arts are, and what incredible things you can do, but you have to think about this suggestion of mine, and you don't have to answer me in such a hurry. And you don't have to worry about whether my promise just now is true or false, your matter seems to you, and it may be a big trouble for a person to face such a big force, but in our eyes it is the simplest. As long as the methods are in place and the benefits are sufficient, it is completely possible to solve the problem without blood. It is good to be free, but as soon as you enter the capital and do something wrong, it will immediately be a catastrophe, and there is no place for you to stand in the world, so why do you insist on this?"
Lei Heng frowned deeply, and then exchanged a look with Old Man Zhang, snapped, knocked on the chessboard, and waved his hand vigorously, as if the general was on the stage before the battlefield went on the battlefield, and the breath on his body suddenly opened.
For a moment, Wang Chan, who was sitting opposite him, only felt that the breath of the room was stagnant, and the temperament and demeanor that suddenly emanated from this Lei Heng's body were like a top martial arts master, full of thick blood and domineering.
Old Man Zhang was originally just an old man of the Central Guard Corps, and he had followed several generations of leaders all his life, and the aura on his body was restrained and deep, and the traces of artillery fire and smoke were deeply hidden in the depths of his bones, plus he was a Grandmaster of Baguazhang, and other idlers could not detect this aura in front of him. But Lei Heng is different from him, this person exudes a completely military order and a long-standing killing temperament.
Although he didn't intend to buy Lei Heng's favor, Wang Chan also had to admit that once this old man became serious, he really had a heart-pounding ability.
The general who experienced the most brutal war, and the Taiping general in the peaceful era, are completely different things.
Only such a person can be considered a real soldier.
However, although the aura on Lei Heng's body was as heavy as a mountain, it was really nothing to Wang Chan. People in high positions have commanding and commanding their every move, and the majesty of the high can deter ordinary people, but it has no effect on some people who really don't buy it.
People who practice boxing are all oil and salt in their bones, and they have a proud backbone, and the real characters are all light princes and proud princes.
Just as Wang Chan said just now, people should not be humiliated, and if they are humiliated, they will draw their swords all the way, ten steps and one person, and leave no one for a thousand miles. Such people, both ancient and modern, are unruly and will not take those in power seriously.
"We who practice boxing, once the surname is decided, we can't change it, otherwise the spirit of boxing will not be pure, and we can't practice our own boxing skills after all our life's efforts, so we can't be humiliated. If you swallow your anger, your thoughts will not be able to reach you, your breath will not be smooth, and you will eventually be harmed for life. General Lei's kindness, Wang Chan understood it in his heart, but there was no need to think about it. This time, I got off halfway in Harbin City, firstly, to return Lei Ting's favor, and secondly, Zhang Lao was here, and I didn't want to see it, so I persuaded me to stop talking about it, or don't say it again! Otherwise, it will ............. ”
Wang Chan spread his hand lightly, "Then there is no need for us to continue talking." ”
Since entering the villa, talking to Lei Heng, a military boss, Wang Chan has always felt unhappy for some reason. Xu is Lei Heng has been in the army for too long, and his tone of voice is extremely stiff, and when he speaks to himself, it is like a superior assigning tasks to a subordinate. It's as if no one can disobey a military order.
This feeling made Wang Chan very uncomfortable. If it weren't for Lei Ting and Zhang Lao being in the room, he would have been unable to help but teach people a lesson.
Who is Wang Chan?
He is a true immortal who stands at the pinnacle of today's human physical evolution, has the pinnacle of boxing skills, and has powerful magical powers and condenses the inner pill.
In the past, as long as he nodded and was willing, no matter which dynasty had to raise him high, build temples, cultivate Taoist temples, and build ancestral halls, not to mention a general, even the emperor would perform the rite of disciple in front of him.
Even if it is not as good as in the past, martial arts have been said to be thin and declining, and Wang Chan has no intention of serving the political axe, but at least he and Lei Ting came to see Lei Heng this time, just out of "politeness", and wanted to end everything in the world. There is no distinction between high and low between the two sides, and if you have to use the same set of officialdom to deal with things and people, this conversation will really come to an end.
Therefore, Wang Chan felt that he needed to remind Lei Heng and correct his attitude.
Indeed, what Lei Heng said to Wang Chan just now, although it was an understatement, but the conditions put forward outside the words were really tempting, if Wang Chan agreed, not only could he immediately get rid of the hostile state with the Lin family, save countless troubles, but also enjoy the glory and wealth, enter the army, and be awarded the title of major general.
In the eyes of others, this kind of condition is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, but Wang Chan doesn't care about any of this.
It's as simple as that.
Back then, Wang Daliangzi broke into a name as big as the king of Kanto, and later when he was liberated, he also lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Wang Chan received the mantle of the old man, but his surname is the same in his bones.
Since he had a feud with the Lin family, Wang Chan had a way to go to the dark and hit the south wall without looking back. What's more, now, looking at the world, no one is invincible, and there is nothing to scruple about at all.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Hearing Wang Chan's words, Lei Heng's eyes sharpened, he stood up, walked two steps in the room, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Wang Chan, I admit that your performance in the Russian military exercise scared me very much, and I don't want the domestic situation to be turbulent and change because of you alone, so I came to Kazakhstan this time to persuade you." But you also have to know that a person is a human being, and no matter what, he can't contend with a country, and to say something you may not like to hear, even if you break into the capital and kill that one, what can you do? When the time comes, the heavens will be furious, and once the national forces are all mobilized, how many people can you kill? Hiding in the province all day long, worrying about being discovered all the time, what do you do to ensure your time to practice boxing. ”
"In this world, there is a bottom line for everything, and anyone who touches this line will upset the balance. Don't look at me now, I'm so nervous that you enter Beijing, I don't want you to go your own way, break the bottom line in everyone's hearts, and embarrass me. Otherwise, you can try it, and see that at that time, things happened, and they couldn't be hidden, and after the whole world knew about it, the country would be disgraced, and the people would be disgraced, would I take thousands of troops and horses and chase you with weapons of mass destruction and beat you in the ass?"
"You're not a boxing person after all, so it's not surprising to say these things to me. If it were Zhang Lao, I believe he wouldn't have said that! Although I can't resist a large-scale weapon of destruction, I can still do it if I want to avoid it in advance. And I really don't have to kill many people, just let go of generals and high-ranking officials like you in one go, it's enough. ”
Wang Chan's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly the temperature in the whole room dropped rapidly, and Lei Heng's neck was only lightly glanced at by Wang Chan, and he couldn't help but get a layer of goosebumps, like being pricked by a needle.
