Chapter 63 Mr. Jing's Identity
Resigning from the position of military aircraft chief?
As soon as this statement came out, Chen Ze was indeed not expecting it, and he was astonished for a moment.
Facing Chen Ze's surprised look, Mr. Jing looked calm.
He placed the tea cup on the edge of the sand table, turned around and clasped his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and sighed, "I support you in commanding this city defense out of selfish motives."
"Yes, in the absence of the city lord, as the military aircraft chief, I have the right to appoint a suitable commander, but this requires comprehensive consideration of all aspects and a sufficient understanding of the appointee."
"I actually don't know you very well. The reason why I chose you, the lowest-ranking counselor at the time, to command the city defense against all opinions was because I had selfish motives."
Chen Ze was silent, this was exactly what he couldn't understand.
The other party had only met him once, but because his assessment task was assigned by Hua Lao of Bo'an City, he was confident enough to leave the life and death of Xiyun City in his hands?
Anyway, this is too exaggerated.
Moreover, Mr. Jing once said at that time that when the war is over, if both of them are still alive, he will tell Chen Ze the reason.
However, Chen Ze didn't know the reason yet, but he first heard that Mr. Jing would resign because of this decision. This made him even more confused and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Mr. Jing was selling in his gourd.
He didn't speak, waiting for Mr. Jing's next words, but the other party seemed to be lost in thought and had no intention of talking anymore.
An unspeakable silence filled the air.
It wasn't until Mr. Jing turned around that Chen Ze was surprised to see a deep sadness on his face.
"Mr. Jing, you..."
Chen Ze opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.
On the other hand, Mr. Jing said slowly with a sad look: "You know that I know Mr. Hua, right?"
Chen Ze nodded. He had asked before, but Mr. Jing only acquiesced in knowing Mr. Hua and didn't say much else.
"Hua Lao..." Mr. Jing shook his head and sighed: "For me, I should call Hua Lao...teacher!"
"teacher?"
Chen Ze raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Based on the emotions Mr. Jing showed when he asked Mr. Hua last time, he could probably guess that the relationship between the two was unusual.
"What I have achieved today is all due to my teacher's hard work. Maybe you don't know the teacher's true identity?"
Mr. Jing's eyes were filled with memories and he was very impressed.
"Hua Lao's true identity..."
Chen Ze pondered for a while and said: "I have been speculating about this."
Mr. Jing said without comment: "Tell me and listen."
Chen Zedao: "Today's empire has three wisdoms and two generals. The three wisdoms naturally refer to the three great national divisions, but the second generals are two generals. In addition to General Sima who guards Qingfeng City, there is another person!"
His eyes flashed slightly and he said: "The other general has rarely been seen in recent years. He claims to the outside world that he is old and is retiring to the mountains and forests."
At this point, he paused and looked at Mr. Jing, only to see that the other man just raised his chin and signaled: "Continue."
Chen Ze added: "I have also carefully read the life and achievements of this great general, and I know that he is a rare all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. His wisdom and tactics are even comparable to those of the Three Wisdoms of Qingyang. Therefore, in the past,
Nian is recognized as a wise general by the four empires!"
"It's a pity that five years ago, this general suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, and there has been no news since."
Chen Ze sighed softly: "Although the general's surname is not Hua, his name does have a Chinese character in it. And his name, I think you will be familiar with it, Mr. Jing!"
Mr. Jing lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Yes, he is my teacher... Shen Tuhua!"
"It's really him?"
Even though he had already suspected it, Chen Ze was still shocked by Mr. Jing's affirmation.
That wise general who was famous among the four empires, that imperial general who was said to have retired to the mountains and forests, actually served in the Military Aircraft Department of Bo'an City?
"Are you very surprised? The teacher is obviously in Bo'an City, but why doesn't anyone know that he is the officer in charge of the Military Aircraft Department?"
Mr. Jing saw Chen Ze's doubts and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then you must not know that in the past five years, you are the first person to accept the teacher's assessment in person?"
"I'm the first?"
Chen Ze shook his head. At that time, he had just traveled through time and followed the Wei family's motorcade to Senhu Town. He really knew very little about the affairs of the Bo'an Military Aircraft Department.
"The teacher is living in seclusion at the Bo'an Military Aircraft Department. Very few people know about this. In the past five years, most of the counselors and generals who took the exam have passed the exam through Xu Shenling. Ordinary people can't see the teacher at all."
Mr. Jing looked deeply at Chen Zedao: "But the signature on your assignment document is the teacher's own handwriting. This is the first time in the past five years!"
Chen Ze was silent, and the fat shopkeeper's chubby face could not help but appear in his mind.
When he went to the military aircraft office, the first person he saw was Xu Cheng and Xu Shenling, who had become the owner of the restaurant. Under his leadership, he went to the second floor to meet Mr. Hua.
If according to what Mr. Jing said, the previous examiners were all examined by Xu Shen, then it would be impossible for him to directly lead him to Mr. Hua, unless...
"Have you thought of it?"
Mr. Jing waited for him for a while and then said again: "Through this incident, I know that the teacher has become interested in you, and today, there are only very few people or things in the world that can make the teacher even remotely interested.
"
"It is precisely because of this that I handed over the troops of Xiyun City to you and gave you full authority to handle the city defense affairs. It can be said that I did this all because of the teacher, not you."
"I..." Chen Ze frowned and said, "I still don't understand."
Yes, even if it was Mr. Hua who became interested in him and ordered Xu Shenling to bring him to examine him personally, what does this mean?
Mr. Hua just gave him an assessment task. Could this be the reason for Mr. Jing to hand over the military power to himself?
"An incident happened five years ago."
Mr. Jing sighed: "Because of this incident, the teacher was so disheartened that he finally resigned from the post of general and no longer interfered with the affairs of the empire. The place where he retired was... the Military Aircraft Department of Bo'an City."
Chen Ze nodded, not surprised at this strange place of retreat.
Who would have thought that a generation of wise generals would become the chief officer of the Military Aircraft Department after returning to seclusion? Thinking of the hungover look on Hua Lao's face when he met him that day, he probably just had a vacant post.
.
"Since then, the teacher has never shown interest in anything, and he is completely dejected."
Mr. Jing shook his head, a sad look reappeared on his face.
"so!"
He changed the subject, and when he looked at Chen Ze again, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "In the past five years, you are the only person who can make the teacher even a little interested, so no matter what, I will give you a push!"
