Chapter 928 Splendid for thousands of miles, everlasting
【Kyoto】A boutique teahouse.
It is built facing the river, with beautiful scenery and beautiful environment.
In a private room at the attic, Chen Qi and Sange Lao Yuan Chenggang sat facing each other.
Feeling depressed, Chen Qi lit a cigarette for himself.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Chenggang stretched out his hand towards Chen Qi.
Chen Qi had no choice but to hand the other party a cigarette.
Yuan Chenggang lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then coughed violently.
"This stuff is really choking and harmful to your health. I advise you to quit as soon as possible."
Chen Qi was noncommittal and asked calmly, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Yuan Chenggang was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Have you really thought about it?"
"The retirement formalities have been completed, what do you think?"
Chen Qi asked back.
"If you are willing, I can help you think of another way."
"No need, that's the end of the matter. Anyway, I had already planned to retreat. Now this is just what I want."
Then Chen Qi asked, "Has the next candidate for Dragon God been decided yet?"
Yuan Chenggang nodded, "Shi Xinrong."
In response, Chen Qi nodded slightly. House was not surprised by this result.
"But Shi Xinrong is far inferior to you. He is arrogant in taking credit, reckless in nature, and loves to show off. I'm worried that after he takes over the [Dragon Temple], he will destroy the foundation we have built over the years."
"Always give him a chance in everything," Chen Qi replied, "I think people in the cabinet think highly of him. Maybe he is better than me?"
Yuan Chenggang sneered, "That's the devil."
The two were silent again.
When the cigarette butt was half burned, Yuan Chenggang finally spoke again.
"This time, I really tried my best."
"I know, I don't blame you."
"Actually, if you want to reinstate your position, it's not impossible."
Chen Qi blew out a cloud of smoke and showed no reaction.
Yuan Chenggang continued, "As long as you can prove that you have nothing to do with that Kurosaki Shinichiro, I will have a way to send you up again."
Yuan Chenggang raised his head and said, "The premise is that you have this intention."
The Kurosaki Shinichiro mentioned by Yuan Chenggang is the eldest disciple of Chen Qi's master Yan Nanfei, and is also Chen Qi's senior brother.
"Now I just want to go home to spend time with my wife and take care of the kids."
"But you can't forget the soldiers under your command who have been with you through life and death."
"I will never forget this life-long friendship. I cherish it more than anyone else."
"Then can you really let go of those hard-earned honors?"
"If you give up, you will gain. Compared with glory, I am satisfied to be able to see the smiles on the faces of my wife and children every day."
Hearing this, Yuan Chenggang knew that he could no longer persuade Chen Qi to return, so he had to sigh.
"In this case, I have nothing to say."
"But, if you suddenly change your mind one day in the future, you can come to me at any time. The door of the military department will always be open for you."
"That position will always be yours."
Chen Qi chuckled for a moment, "I hope there won't be such a day."
After saying that, Chen Qi stood up, picked up the cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.
"Nice tea, thank you for the hospitality."
Then, Chen Qi pushed away the seat, turned around and left without looking back.
In the room, Yuan Chenggang was left alone and depressed.
At this time, the military general who accompanied Yuan Chenggang came in holding a wooden box.
"Sange Lao, Dragon God General, he..."
Yuan Chenggang nodded, "Let's go."
The officer looked regretful and placed the wooden box in front of Yuan Chenggang, "This is a public property returned by General Dragon God."
Yuan Chenggang opened the wooden box and looked at the neatly-visited commander-in-chief's seal, dragon talisman, five-star epaulettes, and dragon-patterned uniforms, and was stunned.
Suddenly, he found an unknown letter in the corner.
The font on the letter is vigorous and powerful.
One stroke at a time, it shows off its edge.
Yuan Chenggang read it with the end in his hand, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
The letter reads:
Don’t worry about worldly success or failure;
Don't care, fame and fortune;
Don’t force it, and your reputation will go down in history.
I only wish that our country’s rivers and mountains will be beautiful and beautiful forever!
——Chen Qi, Liu
Yuan Chenggang sneered for a moment, "This boy's temper is still as stubborn as ever. Once he makes a decision, ten cows can't hold him back."
Then, he faced the window, looked at the vast river scenery, and murmured.
"Will there ever be such a day?
I don’t hope so.”
…
In the afternoon of that day, the [Cabinet] issued a nationwide announcement.
Ji, the seventh Lord of [Dragon Temple], officially resigned.
A new young general, Shi Xinrong, will serve as the Dragon God.
For the general public, the replacement of top military officers has not had much impact on their daily lives.
After just sighing a few words, he became calm again.
But for the entire military, it was like an earth-shaking shock.
Many people who join the military today, no matter how ignorant they are, must have heard of the reputation of the Dragon God.
This person has been in office for several years, and he has pushed the Dragon Temple, which was originally at the bottom, to the forefront of the world, and is respected by the world.
Therefore, [Dragon Temple] has always been what every soldier yearns for.
The Dragon God is everyone’s inner belief.
Nowadays, the Dragon God changes hands, which naturally makes many people feel uneasy.
I wonder if this Dragon God can have the same dominance and leadership as the previous Dragon God.
Although he is also called the Dragon God, this Dragon God is not that Dragon God.
After that, for as long as half a month, the military department received a large number of applications for retirement.
Most of them are veteran soldiers of the [Dragon Temple].
They were the first batch of soldiers who followed Chen Qi to fight in the north and south.
Before retiring, they openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the headquarters' decision to step down as Dragon God.
Some people even did not receive any appeasement money from the national level as a sign of protest.
No matter whether he was promoted to a higher position or had a bright future, he still left angrily.
