Looking at his overjoyed parents, Xue Chen was very confused and couldn't help but ask who was here just now.
The two old men were not surprised when they saw Xue Chen's appearance, and they hurriedly talked, and Xue Chen also roughly understood what he said. It turned out that it was the county magistrate and several other bigger leaders.
Came with a message.
"There are two leaders from Beijing. They came here specially to announce something. They said that you have made a great contribution to the country and they want to promote you to... to become a major general. Your father and I can't believe it. Or
County Magistrate Liu repeatedly assured me that it was true, so I believed it." Luo Huijuan was so excited that she couldn't speak clearly.
"The ancestral graves of our old Xue family are really smoking. A major general has actually appeared. No, I will go to the graves of Xiaochen's grandparents tomorrow!" Xue Hong rubbed his hands anxiously.
Luo Huijuan reminded: "You should go. This is good news. Don't forget to bring two bottles. His grandfather likes to drink the most."
Unlike the two elders who were happy and didn't know how to treat each other well, Xue Chen was much calmer and frowned: "Major General?" Which drama is this?
Back then, he had made a deal with an old general in the capital in exchange for the rank of lieutenant colonel. At that time, it was simply to prepare for some troublesome situations, but that happened a long time ago, and he had long since
He had forgotten it, and he had never thought of himself as a real soldier. But what is the current situation, and the rank of major general was suddenly thrown at him? It is really a bit suspicious.
"Besides this, did they say anything else?" Xue Chen asked.
Xue Hongfa hurriedly said that the rank of major general was absolutely true, but due to some special reasons, it could not be spread widely. It was enough to know that it existed.
"They said that you made a great contribution to the country and did secret work, just like an underground worker during the Anti-Japanese War. You should not be too public. Xiaochen, why haven't we heard you say these things? Ah,
I understand, this must be a confidentiality policy, right? We understand you, but you must pay attention to your own safety."
After a while, Xue Hongfa, the father, had already imagined a spy drama, which made Xue Chen really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Mother Luo Huijuan has already hurriedly called her eldest uncle, three aunts and four uncles to come over for dinner. She can't tell outsiders, her family can always know that this is a major incident of smoke coming out of ancestral graves, and it is the first one in the history of the old Xue family.
General, we must celebrate together.
Xue Chen walked back to his room, and Wu Yue called again at the right time.
"Xue Chen, how are you? Are you satisfied with this compensation? We know that you have suffered a lot of losses and are very ashamed. So, after some discussion, the superior leaders decided to promote you to the rank of major general to compensate you. You don't have to be too embarrassed.
Thank me, this is what I should do."
The corner of Xue Chen's mouth twitched: "Director Wu, we plain people don't speak secretly. Do you think I care about the rank of major general? In my eyes..."
"Ahem, Xue Chen, you have to be careful with your words. You don't care, but don't your family members care either? You have to think more about being a human being. A major general rank cannot be touched or seen. It is not as real as a private jet. But
What it can bring you is not what a big iron bird can do. Let's put it this way, if my son can become a major general, then I can still smile even if I die now. I don't say this casually.
.”
Xue Chen was choked back what he could say, because Wu Yue was right. Indeed, this invisible and intangible rank of Major General was very unusual for his family. He had seen it with his own eyes just now, and his parents revealed
Joy and happiness are rare and cannot be bought with any amount of money.
"As an old friend, I would like to share a few words with you. I am responsible for the people with superpowers, but I also know a little bit about the things in the practice world. Like the people with superpowers, there are also some people on Lao Mao's side.
When practitioners contribute to the country, they belong to each military region. Generally speaking, only practitioners in the Danhua realm have the rank of major general, and you probably don't have it yet. This shows that the country values you very much, and there are many old men.
I told my superiors this time that you are very valuable to cultivate."
“Oh?”
"Haha, well, I'm not Mao, how could I know such urgent and important news?" Wu Yue laughed, "But, I think, as a country, the people below should not be too
Poor."
Xue Chen felt that there seemed to be something in Wu Yue's words, especially the last sentence.
"By the way, it's not easy to be a major general. There are many people who are higher than you and have contributed more to the country than you. They are very dissatisfied. Therefore, you may be needed for a mission recently. Don't worry, there will be labor.
The subsidy is 100,000 yuan a day, which covers more than half a year's salary for me."
Mission? Before Xue Chen could ask carefully, and before he could refuse, Wu Yue had already hung up the phone. When he called back, he couldn't get through.
"Depend on!"
Far away in the capital, Wu Yue hung up his cell phone and looked at Mao Jinshan, who was sitting opposite, and said: "It seems that you value Xue Chen very much now. I heard that last time he hired someone from the Sun Moon Star Sect.
Did you suffer a small loss?"
Mao Jinshan sat carelessly on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed: "He is still a seedling worth cultivating. Now I'm afraid that guy will think he is trying to trick him." As he said that, he picked up a piece of paper in front of him and looked at it.
.
"Then it's a specific task, right? I heard it's something overseas?" Wu Yue asked curiously. He manages people with superpowers. Usually, it's all about the relationship between superpowers and superpowers.
Grudges or grudges may be friction between organizations of superpowers, but things in the practice world are much more complicated.
Mao Jinshan nodded: "Yes, this country is making some strategic deployments in Africa to develop oil railways. Recently, there has been a problem with a railway line being dug. You can see the details yourself."
"Oh? What could happen to the railway line?" Wu Yue took the report and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the matter was not very simple. It just said that the railway happened to pass through a mountainous forest area, but it encountered some unknown obstacles.
, and there were casualties, which made people panic, the project came to a standstill, and they urgently requested the relevant national parties to take action and help.
Mao Jinshan breathed a sigh of relief: "It is said that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters, but in my opinion, this sentence needs to be changed. It's just that some monsters will appear and cause trouble for people. They don't have the eyesight to see, so they don't know.
Is it so difficult to just give way and move? I deserve to be unable to achieve positive results."
When Wu Yue heard this, he was startled: "You mean, there is a monster there? What kind of monster?"
"I don't know this. I just heard that he is very fast and loves to eat people. He is probably not a good person. He must have become a spirit. There are too many weird things in Africa. Who knows, but
He won’t be too strong and his IQ won’t be very high, otherwise he would have hidden himself long ago. All smart monsters know that people are the most unprovoked people on this planet.”
Mao Jinshan said it simply, but Wu Yue still felt a little incredible. After thinking about it, he asked: "Can't we use thermal weapons to destroy it? Even if ordinary firearms can't do it, grenades and shoulder-fired missiles can't do it?"
Mao Jinshan shook his head and said no, that thing is too fast and difficult to lock on. If it can kill with one blow, it would be fine. If it cannot cause direct damage, it will definitely anger the thing, which will only cause greater damage and casualties.
If the gain outweighs the loss, it is better for people to solve it themselves.
"I want Xue Chen to go too this time, I'm afraid he won't agree so easily." Wu Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking of Xue Chen's character who didn't take hard or soft words.
Mao Jinshan sat up straight, smiled and said: "That's because you don't know the habits of practitioners. He doesn't like it when you give him money, and he doesn't care about giving him the rank of general, but there will always be something he cares about.
"
"What?" Wu Yue asked subconsciously.
"Of course it is a higher realm!" Mao Jinshan raised his eyebrows, "As long as you are a practitioner, who doesn't want to climb up? Those who have just gathered their energy want to refine crystals, and those who have already refined crystals want Dzogchen, Dzogchen.
If you want to understand the baby of heaven and earth and take half a step into the elixir, and wait until it becomes a true elixir, there is still the temptation of the soul sacrificial realm. Even if you really reach the soul sacrificial realm, there will be a higher pursuit waiting for you.
As long as you tell the boy named Xue that the operation is successful and you can give him some spiritual benefits, he will definitely agree."
Wu Yue rubbed his chin: "But Xue Chen has always been high-minded, and the benefits given are not good enough, so they may not be able to impress him."
"There's no need to worry." Mao Jinshan stood up and stretched his waist, "Good things, the country has plenty of them. After all, who is the real person in power in these 9.6 million square kilometers of land?
?”
"Well..." Wu Yue nodded.
"Even if those first-class inheritances last for hundreds of thousands of years and have accumulated countless wealth, so what? Even though our country was founded less than a hundred years ago, every people is a inheritor. Is this something that those first-class inheritances can compare to? Every day
, a large number of reports have been submitted from all over the country, and many kinds of genius treasures have been discovered, and the cost is not much, usually five hundred yuan and a certificate are enough."
Mao Jinshan's eyes showed a strange light: "This world, the world of spiritual practice has changed. It is completely different from the past hundreds of thousands of years. People who still stick to the old rules will not see the higher mountains.
"
"I don't understand." Wu Yue didn't understand these words very well. He looked at his old friend Mao Jinshan and suddenly had a strange illusion in his heart, as if he didn't recognize this old friend in front of him, or maybe he had never known him before.
