Chapter 1218 - 1217: A Private Conversation Between Two Titans
After listening to Elder Feng’s words, Dragon King could only smile wryly and said, "Old leader, your words humble me!"
"You rascal, you’re doing even better than I am now!" Elder Feng quipped as he walked into the room laughing.
"Old leader, you’re joking. No matter what, you’ll always be my old leader!" Dragon King replied cheerfully, his tone very respectful.
Firstly, Elder Feng is more than twenty years older than Dragon King, deserving Dragon King’s respect.
Secondly, Dragon King and Ye Shouxin were once soldiers under Elder Feng’s command but later made their mark and separated from his command.
Thirdly, the camaraderie among soldiers is like forged steel; their feelings for their leaders never change, even if Dragon King holds a high position now, he remains very humble before Elder Feng.
"Elder Long!"
Feng Hua saluted Dragon King.
After returning the salute, Dragon King said to Bai Weiwei, "Serve tea to the old leader!"
"Yes, godfather!"
Bai Weiwei nodded and quickly turned to leave.
Elder Feng smiled as he watched Bai Weiwei’s departing figure, teasing, "You’ve got yourself a wonderful daughter!"
"The child, she went through tough times back then!" Dragon King sighed.
"Let’s not talk about the past, I hope those old stories remain buried, never to see the light of day!"
Elder Feng said with a trace of fear in his voice, as if the matters he referred to being uncovered would cause a huge uproar.
Dragon King smiled and said, "Old leader, what brings you here?"
"I won’t waste words with you, Lin Fan has been sent by me to Northeast, do you know about this?" Elder Feng directly moved to the topic and asked Dragon King.
"I’ve heard about it, but don’t know your intention, old leader?" Dragon King asked.
"You rascal, trying to play dumb with me, I bet you have already guessed my intention!" Elder Feng pointed a finger at Dragon King and said.
Dragon King gave a wry smile and said, "I’ve heard that recently, the Northeast isn’t peaceful?"
"Correct! Recently, a Northeast Four Young Masters has emerged in the Northeast, similar to the Four Young Masters of Yanjing, consisting of Ximen Family’s eldest grandson Ximen Ding and the heirs of three newly risen commercial groups!" Elder Feng explained.
"What are you worried about, old leader?" Dragon King asked.
"The Northeast is an important defense line for our country, and must be guarded regardless of the cost. Back then, the Four Young Masters of Yanjing caused storms in Yanjing, and I don’t want this to happen again, so the so-called Northeast Four Young Masters should not be heard of anymore!" Elder Feng’s tone suddenly became three parts severe.
"Are you worried about those three commercial groups collaborating with foreign forces?" Dragon King asked with a frown.
"Not just those three commercial groups, including the Ximen Family itself! I’ve carried guns with the Ximen family elder, I trust him, but not his juniors, and we can’t ignore potential threats, so this situation must be resolved!"
"The Four Young Masters of Yanjing were brought down by Lin Fan, so I had him go to terminate the engagement and meanwhile eliminate those so-called Northeast Four Young Masters, with that kid’s arrogance and his feud with Ximen Ding, I expect he won’t show mercy!"
Elder Feng said confidently.
"Indeed! Lin Fan is very arrogant, I’ve heard about him hitting Ximen Ding, and Ximen Ding being one of the Northeast Four Young Masters; once Lin Fan is in the Northeast, Ximen Ding certainly won’t let him go, naturally leading to conflicts, and those other three commercial groups will be drawn in, allowing Lin Fan to remove them one by one!"
Dragon King analyzed thoughtfully.
Elder Feng laughed and said, "You rascal, still so smart and perceptive!"
"That’s all thanks to your good teaching, old leader!" Dragon King said humbly with a smile.
"You rascal, when did you learn to flatter? You weren’t like this before!" Elder Feng said.
Dragon King chuckled awkwardly and didn’t respond!
Then, Elder Feng’s gaze fell on Dragon King’s paralyzed legs, sighed silently, and shook his head saying, "During that battle, those little devils were so insidious, using poisoned weapons to harm you, making you sit in a wheelchair for so many years!"
"No worries, I’ve already had Shouxin deal with those scoundrels!" Dragon King squinted at Ye Shouxin and said with a smile.
However, Ye Shouxin had remained silent, like an outsider, continuously sipping the warm tea from his cup.
"Well done!"
Elder Feng exclaimed loudly, continuing, "But recently, the Martial World is restless, battles erupting consecutively, and with Lin Fan toppling the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, pushing Yanyu Group to international prominence as a new conglomerate, they’ll definitely face obstruction from many foreign forces. With such a group emerging in Huaxia, higher-ups will naturally seek to protect it!"
"However, Lin Fan’s endeavor in developing a commercial empire surely won’t be easy, the ever-watchful Child Clan hoping to suppress Lin Fan, hardly allowing him to surpass them. If I’m not mistaken, foreign undercurrents are already surging, and a great battle is imminent!"
"What do you mean, old leader?" Dragon King asked.
Elder Feng’s eyes, surrounded by wrinkles, suddenly flashed with cold glint, saying, "Whether abroad or in Martial World, if they choose to fight, then let it be fought. Under no circumstances can they implicate our nation and people. Recently, have your soldiers remain vigilant; any suspicious persons entering our Huaxia must be thoroughly checked, and if anyone dares resist, they can be immediately dealt with on the spot. Our Huaxia has slumbered long enough; it’s time those foreign troublemakers learned respect for our Huaxia!"
"Yes, old leader, I will immediately disseminate this message, ensuring no harm comes to our country or its people!" Dragon King replied earnestly!
As Dragon King, king of the military, his lifelong duty is to protect the land beneath his feet and the peace of its people!
"Whoever offends Huaxia, shall be punished even if distant!"
At this moment, Ye Shouxin suddenly uttered coldly, his eyes sharp!
They are the kings of the military and Huaxia War Gods, born for their nation, ultimately committing everything for it!
After the important matters were discussed, Elder Feng let Feng Hua leave first, as he intended to play a few games of chess with Dragon King!
As for Ye Shouxin, he remained seated calmly on the stone stool, eyes closed, in meditation!
Regarding all this, Lin Fan knew nothing, oblivious that his trip to the Northeast carried a significant mission!
This Northeast journey is bound to be turbulent and hard to have peace!
