Chu He had fought in wars and shed blood on the battlefield. But except for the Baicheng bank robbery case in which he was forced to be involved, he had never voluntarily shed a drop of blood for the country and the people.
He is an excellent warrior. But he is also a warrior with a rough fate.
Why?
This materialistic society does not give an outstanding soldier the opportunity to devote himself to the country and the people. Some of them only fight for the selfish desires of some high-ranking officials.
That's not what Chuhe wants to do. So he wants to go back to China while living in Rainbow Town, but he doesn't want to.
He even rejected invitations from several troops and only took a temporary position in the Divine Corps without being restricted by the military.
He envied Ye Zhongtang's period. It was the best era. Soldiers could fight for their beliefs. Generals could fight for their dreams. Even if there was internal strife, external enemies would always be put first.
Once the country is threatened or bullied, the soldiers will roar and roar to destroy all enemies, demonstrating the power of the Chinese military.
But now——
Standing at the pinnacle of China, Chu He, known as a legendary soldier, has become a frustrated and marginalized member of the Divine Corps. How can he be half as heroic as a soldier?
Faced with the iron-blooded commander's generous rhetorical question, Chu He smiled softly, raised his glass and said, "I'll give you a toast."
Ye Zhongtang glanced deeply at Chu He, raised his glass and said, "I toast you with this glass."
"Respect me?" Chu He looked at Marshal Ye unexpectedly.
"In the past thirty years, apart from your father, you are the only person who has been considered the number one figure in the Chinese military. It is not easy to produce an outstanding soldier like you in today's environment." Marshal Ye raised his glass and said, "Come on.
Let’s go!”
Although Marshal Ye was older, he was still as majestic as before. He took a sip without showing any sign of weakness, which made Chu He very excited. He also drank the strong drink very domineeringly, and had a good time with the super iron-blooded general who was once famous in China.
chat.
From Chu He's point of view, if he and the Iron-Blooded Marshal had known each other earlier, they would have become lifelong friends. Now that they met for the first time, they immediately felt a sense of regret that they had not seen each other for such a long time. They wished they could have a good time drinking and chatting all night long.
This lunch lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. Marshal Ye had drunk a lot and was in a really good mood. When he left the table, he was in a daze. He couldn't help but smile sadly and muttered: "He**
*. When I was drinking with those old guys, I could drink for three days and three nights. Alas, I am getting older."
Chu He, who was quite dizzy after drinking, was led to a bedroom by a servant to rest. It was said that the Iron-blooded Marshal invited him to continue drinking in the evening. Chu He naturally would not refuse Marshal Ye's kindness. In addition, Chu He was very fond of Ye.
I really respect this super general who has been unparalleled for decades, and I want to hear more about what this old general went through back then.
Ye Zhongtang.
He is seventy-two years old this year.
He has been in the army for fifty-seven years since he founded the Tiger Camp. He has climbed from a new recruit to the most senior general in China. This half-century of ups and downs can be said to be full of countless legends and shocks. His disabled number alone
Ten years of arms is enough for a storyteller to tell a story for a year and a half. It may not be possible to completely smooth out the relationship between the characters.
Of course Chu He had heard of some past events about this legendary general. In fact, which soldier had not heard of this iron-blooded general?
Feeling dizzy, Chu He returned to his room. Just as he was about to lie down and rest for a while, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Chu He condensed his mind, guessing that the poisonous widow Ye Mingzhu came to take revenge. A bitter smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and then he shook his head and opened the door for her. However, as soon as he opened the door, Chu He saw the most powerful person eating at the dinner table.
The ferocious tiger-headed boy.
"Kid, what do you want from me?" Chu He asked with a slight smile and lowered his head.
"kid?"
The tiger-headed boy's dark eyes flashed with a coldness that was incompatible with his age: "Do you believe it? The moment you opened the door, I had at least three ways to bring you down?"
"Oh?" Chu He laughed dumbly and joked. "So you are still a practicing master."
The tiger-headed boy crossed his arms, raised his proud little face, and said with disdain: "Ye Jun. Pre-selected member of the Divine Corps. Didn't ask for advice——"
"Chu He, a non-staff member of the Divine Corps." Chu He said modestly.
"Supernumerary?" The tiger-headed boy's eyes lit up and he asked curiously. "The Divine Corps is not such an irresponsible unit. Since you can make an exception and become a non-staff member, there must be something unusual about it."
Chu He leaned against the door, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "I have never heard that the Divine Corps would accept a soldier as young as you. According to military regulations, you should not be eligible to join the army at your age, right?"
"Are you a layman?" Ye Jun's eyes fell on the Double Happiness stick held by Chu He and said. "If you ask me to smoke, I will chat with you and give you some knowledge."
"become."
Chu He closed the door and handed the little guy a spicy Double Happiness. He originally wanted to remind the little guy that the cigarette still choked his throat. But when he glanced at it, he lit it with a skillful posture, as if he had been smoking for more than ten years. At that moment, he realized what he was doing.
He closed his mouth, poured himself a cup of sobering tea, and asked: "Are you really absorbed by the Divine Corps?"
"Can this still lie to you?"
A cigarette after a meal, the little guy is naturally not so courageous in front of grandpa. It's a good thing that Chu He came to visit today. Otherwise, he would have to hold it in until school starts.
"Child soldiers have been popular in China for decades. It's not just from my generation." Ye Jun flicked the ashes of his cigarette skillfully, took a big puff and said. "I entered the army when I was three years old.
Top-notch special training class, special training with a group of brats excavated from all over the country."
Little brat?
He himself is only six years old, but he actually calls his companion a brat. He is so arrogant that people want to kick him in the face.
"Then you have been going to school since childhood. Don't you learn cultural knowledge?" Chu He asked curiously.
According to Chu He's understanding, academies with military background are the strongholds for selecting professional talents. There are occasionally outstanding newcomers in the army. But many of them only have high school diplomas, and today is a high-tech era. It forces a high school student to master a large number of new weapons.
It was a bit more difficult after all.
So Chu He was quite interested in Ye Jun's so-called elite special training class.
"Of course." Ye Jun put out the cigarette butt, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case Chu He put on the coffee table, and continued to smoke like an old smoker, saying proudly. "So far, I have mastered it.
Chinese, English, and Japanese. Our boss said that if someone at the ten-year-old graduation ceremony masters less than ten languages, he will have to break one of his legs."
"——"
Chu He had the urge to hide his face and cry.
He is only six years old!
He actually mastered three foreign languages!
That year, Chu He, who had lived in Baicheng all year round, even spoke Mandarin with a touch of dialect, let alone learning foreign languages. After hearing what Ye Jun said, Chu He had a strong affection for the top special training class where Ye Jun was in
interest.
"Then what are you going to do after you graduate at the age of ten?" Chu He asked curiously.
When Ye Jun heard this, his big dark eyes flashed brightly. He said excitedly: "After the age of ten, those who pass the test will enter the martial arts hall for three years of devil-like training!"
Lecture hall?
What the hell is that?
"Don't you know?" Ye Jun chuckled. "Master Hu, the instructor at the martial arts hall, is a cool man like a god!"
It was obvious that Ye Jun was full of admiration for Mr. Tiger.
Chu He felt that he was too ignorant. He was so unfamiliar with the hidden institutions of the military. He continued to smoke: "Xiaojun, why don't we change the topic -"
"Call me Brother Jun." Ye Jun sat up straight and said. "In the special training class, I ranked first in the fighting and shooting events!"
"Where are the cultural classes?" Chu He slapped his thigh and shouted. "I am a real high school student! In the early days of liberation, he was even more awesome than the current graduate students."
Ye Jun was confused by Chu He's evasive metaphor. He curled his lips and said: "I will be a gun bearer in the future. I just need to learn a few foreign languages to facilitate the execution of tasks. How can I talk to someone with such a high level of education?
?”
Chu He laughed loudly when he heard this. He touched the little guy's head and said, "You are just as charming as I was back then."
"Pooh!"
Ye Jun pushed Chu He's big hand away and said disdainfully: "Brother Jun, I will definitely be better than you in the future."
Chu He grinned and changed the topic: "Do you know your Aunt Ye?"
"Of course I know you." Mentioning Ye Mingzhu, an innocent smile appeared on the kid's face. "My aunt is very kind to me. She gives me gifts every birthday and treats me to fried chicken."
"Then why didn't you seem to recognize her just now?" Chu He asked curiously.
"Hi." Ye Jun shrugged pretending to be mature and said helplessly. "The relationship between my aunt and the old man is so bad. If I make out with my aunt in public, wouldn't I slap the old man in the face? I will offend the old man. I can still hang out in the Ye family from now on.
?”
Chu He's scalp was numb, and he thought to himself: This kid is really cunning. It seems that Mr. Ye and Ye Zhengying don't look like such dark figures. I guess the kid's bad thoughts are all learned from his aunt. It's true.
When I was three years old and saw my old age, with such a sinister and sinister aunt at my side, where could I expect Chunliang to go?
"I'm just wondering. How come your aunt has such a bad relationship with the old man?" Chu He asked curiously. "Even if your old man finds a stepmother for you, your aunt won't have such a quarrel with the old man, right?"
"Brother, I am only six years old this year." Ye Jun said nonchalantly. "When my aunt ran away from home, my father had just learned to masturbate. How did I know?"
"——"
All three views of Chuhe were ruined, and I felt like I could no longer chat happily.
After drinking two sips of water, Chu He rubbed his brows and said, "Go back. I'm going to take a rest."
"It's done." Ye Jun didn't delay, stood up quickly, put two cigarettes between his left and right ears, and lit one. "I'll just smoke this cigarette. I'll get two cigarettes for you when I get a chance."
Changbai Mountain. The smoke is so delicious."
"One mouthful of burning knives and one mouthful of Changbai Mountain. Even gods wouldn't do it for me."
The little guy swayed out of the room, leaving the dumbfounded Chu He behind.
"Damn it - what's wrong with this society?" Chu He felt dizzy. "Or am I really old?"
…
Because the iron-blooded commander finished lunch at four o'clock in the afternoon, dinner was scheduled for nine o'clock in the evening. Chu He actually slept until dinner because the bed was so comfortable. Fortunately, Ye Jun, who smoked his cigarette, came to call him. Otherwise, he could
Sleep until dawn in one breath.
When I went downstairs, the dining table was already full of people. Even Ye Mingzhu, who had a big quarrel with the iron-blooded marshal at noon, also came. He just sat on the chair farthest from the old man with a slightly calm face. He was still a little aggrieved.
When everyone saw Chu He coming downstairs, they all stood up to greet the man who was the first to be taken home by Ye Mingzhu. The poisonous widow had not been home for more than 20 years. As soon as she came back, she took back this young man who was more than ten years younger.
.After some investigation by the Ye family, it turned out that he was actually the young soldier king who carried out the Dragon Protection Plan. He was also the Qinglong Queen who led the global trend of joining the army. She was really a famous general. She was a perfect match.
There are no sons in the Ye family. The eldest son Ye Zhengying is the youngest general of the Shao Zhuang sect. I am also the most outstanding military leader in China in half a century. It is precisely because of this old general with a tough and strong style that the Chinese military is able to
He has gained such great prestige and status in the world.
Anyone who dares to scold will be shot back.
Anyone who dares to step on them will be blasted back with a cannon.
This is the attitude of the iron-blooded commander. It is also the aspiration of all the Chinese military and civilians.
Therefore, no matter how bad Ye Mingzhu's reputation is outside, the man he takes home must not be a coward. Otherwise, Marshal Ye will be the first to beat him out.
As Ye Jun said, it is difficult to enter the Ye family, and it is even harder to become the Ye family's son-in-law!
I don't know if it was because she beat Ye Mingzhu at noon, but the poisonous widow ignored Chu He who came downstairs. She just lowered her head slightly and stared at the cup of Pu'er tea on the table with an expressionless face.
Chu He didn't mind this either. After going downstairs, he greeted everyone and sat down next to Ye Mingzhu.
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone used their chopsticks to eat. The old man originally wanted to have a drink with Chu He, but he couldn't resist everyone's advice and changed it to tea.
After all, he is old. No matter how good his health is, he cannot compare with the young and strong Chu He.
Although there was no wine, the dishes on the table were cooked to a very high standard. Even a semi-professional chef like Chu He, who was an expert in cooking, was greatly impressed. He asked who cooked the meal.
The old man smiled slightly, turned around and said to the middle-aged woman with a graceful and calm temperament: "Axiu. Chuhe praised your skills."
"If it's delicious, eat more. Some home-cooked meals can't be compared with those in a hotel." The woman whom Marshal Ye called Axiu smiled.
Chu He nodded hurriedly, and the wind swept through the remaining clouds.
Axiu.
She is Marshal Ye's current wife. The trigger that led to the breakup between father and daughter. Ye Mingzhu's attitude towards her was cold to the core. On the other hand, the latter was calm and unhurried from beginning to end. Occasionally, she would take the initiative to inquire about Ye Mingzhu's current situation. Even if
The Poisonous Widow ignored her, and the woman sitting next to Marshal Ye was not angry at all. She was as gentle as a clay Buddha and had no anger at all.
After finishing the meal in this seemingly calm atmosphere, but actually undercurrent, the old man said he was going back to the study to work, so he left the table early. Axiu first served Marshal Ye back to the study, then returned to the dining table and greeted him gently
Listening to the small talk of this big family. Without Marshal Ye sitting in charge, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more relaxed. The topics gradually increased. Especially Ye Jun, who not only played both sides of the table, but also occasionally made jokes about Chu He. It was quite fun.
Ye Mingzhu was angry with Chu He for a while and then recovered. Later, at Ye Jun's instigation, he went for a walk in the back garden to drink tea. When Chu He left, he noticed that A Xiu, who was like an outsider, actually collected the dishes and chopsticks and took them into the kitchen for cleaning. He couldn't help but
It's quite moving and hard to understand.
It stands to reason. With Marshal Ye's family background, let alone hiring a few servants to do laundry and cooking, it is no exaggeration to even have clothes to put out his hands and food to open his mouth. But, unfortunately, such a big military wealthy family even cooks and washes dishes.
It would be too bizarre for the wife of a handsome handsome man to do it.
The Ye family's mansion is not big, but it is definitely not small either.
Just looking at the floor space, this is an above-average house in Yanjing. Looking at the location and scenery, Chu He sighed that the old Ye family's heritage was indeed not built.
"You haven't come home for so many years. Is it because of that stepmother who is gentle and virtuous, and her craftsmanship is so good that I am stunned. She also takes the initiative to wash the dishes?" Chu He asked meaningfully.
"Rush me?" Ye Mingzhu sat elegantly on a stone bench, a strange color flashing across his foxy face.
"How dare I try to push you?" Chu He laughed, then asked curiously. "Before I came here, I would never have imagined that the relationship between you and your father was so incompatible. Before I came here, I would have never imagined that your father would actually shock China.
Even the iron-blooded generals of the world."
"Then was it an accident or a surprise?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
"Half of both." Chu He lit up a cigarette, squinted at the bright moonlight in the sky, and sighed. "Actually, I have always envied your father's generation of soldiers. It was a glorious era for soldiers. It was also a great era.
It was an era when soldiers could devote their blood and sweat to the country and the nation in a down-to-earth manner. Unlike now, I always feel that there is no way to repay the favor."
"Then have you ever thought about how much pressure his family, the wife and daughter who have been silently waiting for him, bear when a soldier or even a general who is respected by thousands of people devotes his time and blood to the country and the people? And taste it.
How much depression have you felt?" Ye Mingzhu asked in reply.
"Even if he is seriously ill, I will not disturb him or influence him for fear of ruining his future." Ye Mingzhu said word by word. "If you were in my position, would you still think this man is a great hero?
.Where is the great hero?"
Chu He was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Is it because of your mother's death that you are so worried about your father?"
Ye Mingzhu sneered and gritted his teeth: "Some people always tell me that a father's love is like a mountain. In my eyes, it is my mother who loves me. I have never been the father who is a hero outside and the overlord of the country when he returns home."
"Perhaps, he just hopes that you can better fulfill his last wish and become a person who is useful to society and the country. So why is he so harsh on you?" Chu He took the trouble to explain.
"Then why did he get together with this woman six months after my mother died?"
"Can you tell me why a father who loves my mother enough to die would do this?"
"Did you know that for the sake of his future and for him to be able to better display his ambitions and ideals, my mother would even spend all her family wealth to support his military plans one after another."
"did you know--"
"At that time, our Chen family was second to none in Yanjing. It was the first of the four wealthy families. We were as rich as the country?"
"And when my mother married him, he was just a frustrated soldier with a broken arm. But my mother was the proud daughter of heaven and the richest in the world?"
