The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 657 Silver Tongue

That's more like it!

Chen Xiao looked at the passionate men in the drill ground, admiration in his eyes.

If they didn't even dare to resist oppression, no matter how much potential they had, they would just be a bunch of good-for-nothings, with no value in training them.

The guards that Team Leader Zhang brought numbered only twenty or thirty. Although they were armed with guns, facing this group of enraged Celestial Strategy Army elites, they immediately felt immense pressure, and they could barely hold their guns steady.

That Team Leader Zhang was an old fox, after all. As the leader of Luo Xingquan's personal guard, he had deeply grasped Luo Xingquan's essence. Soon, he thought of a way to deal with this group of soldiers.

"Are you trying to rebel!"

Team Leader Zhang said lightly, with his hands behind his back, placing a heavy label on the heads of these Celestial Strategy Army elites.

Rebellion!

These two words were absolute taboos in the military camp.

Using force to break the law was something those in the imperial court had always been very sensitive to!

And Team Leader Zhang's casual remark, if it was confirmed, would ruin the future of these young men.

Not only would their futures be ruined, but their lives would also be in danger!

After all, when Xiao, the God of the Army, was demoted before, some people said he was wielding his troops to gain personal power, and the higher-ups were wary of this.

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly. This Team Leader Zhang had such a vicious heart!

These Celestial Strategy Army elites, in terms of martial strength and tactics, any one of them could easily beat this despicable villain.

But in terms of cunning, even if they were all added together, they couldn't outwit him!

Sure enough, after Team Leader Zhang put the label of 'rebellion' on them.

The Celestial Strategy Army immediately fell into a panic, only anxiously explaining that they had no intention of rebelling.

But in doing so, they fell into a passive position.

The situation was once again controlled by Team Leader Zhang.

"Humph, Team Leader Zhang, have you forgotten what place this is!"

Liu Yu snorted coldly and walked over.

Seeing these young soldiers being bullied by Team Leader Zhang, she finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Heh, so Liaison Officer Liu is here too."

Team Leader Zhang had a smiling face, as if he had just seen Liu Yu, "This is the Celestial Strategy Army camp, how could I forget? I wonder what Liaison Officer Liu means by this?"

"So you still know this is the Celestial Strategy Army camp!"

Liu Yu looked at Team Leader Zhang with a raised corner of her mouth, then reached out and pointed to the group of Celestial Strategy Army soldiers, "Then Team Leader Zhang, tell me, who are they?"

"They are..."

Before Team Leader Zhang could finish speaking, Liu Yu interrupted him, "They are the Celestial Strategy Army! Team Leader Zhang said that the Celestial Strategy Army is rebelling in the Celestial Strategy Army camp, doesn't that mean they are rebelling against themselves? Team Leader Liu, this dirty water you're splashing is so unreasonable!"

Team Leader Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and his whole person was a little dumbfounded.

And the Celestial Strategy Army also reacted, taking the opportunity to echo.

"That's right, Liaison Officer Liu is right, how can we have the logic of rebelling against ourselves?"

"Team Leader Zhang, how could you say such a thing, are you brainless!"

"Dare to splash dirty water on our Celestial Strategy Army, who do you think you are?"

"Zhang, this is blatant slander, let's go, let's go to the military court together, I want to sue you!"

Everyone was in an uproar, the spearhead pointing directly at Team Leader Zhang.

"You, you are changing the subject, that's not what I meant at all!"

Team Leader Zhang pointed at Liu Yu, shouting with his neck stretched, his face flushed red.

But the water had already been stirred up by Liu Yu. Under the noisy voices, his rebuttal couldn't even stir up a ripple.

Just when Team Leader Zhang was in a dilemma and unable to end the situation, his savior finally arrived.

The current Deputy Commander of the Celestial Strategy Army, Luo Xingquan!

This person was in his forties or fifties, of medium build, neither thin nor fat, with a well-proportioned figure.

His hair was combed back, shiny and bright, and he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Behind the glasses were a pair of eyes that seemed harmless to humans and animals, but actually hid a sinister look.

Coupled with the corners of his mouth that naturally turned upwards, he gave the impression of a smiling tiger.

"Deputy Commander Luo, you've finally arrived, if you hadn't, there would have been a big mess!"

However, he didn't know that Luo Xingquan had actually arrived long ago, but had not shown his face.

It was not until he realized that Team Leader Zhang could no longer handle the current situation that he had no choice but to come forward.

"Heh, what a big mess, the sky hasn't fallen!"

Luo Xingquan looked up at the sky with a smile on his face, as if he was really worried that the sky would fall.

Team Leader Zhang's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to speak at that moment.

Others only saw Luo Xingquan's smiling face, but he captured a trace of ruthlessness in Luo Xingquan's eyes when he looked at him.

Obviously, Deputy Commander Luo was blaming him for his ineffective work.

Team Leader Zhang instinctively wanted to explain, but he swallowed the words back.

Deputy Commander Luo always only looked at the results, not paying attention to the process.

Even if you explained it perfectly, if the final result was not good, Deputy Commander Luo would still punish you.

And he would punish you even more severely, because the process of explanation was a waste of time.

And wasting time, in Deputy Commander Luo's view, was a more serious mistake than the failure of the result.

Luo Xingquan only glanced at Team Leader Zhang and then ignored him.

He walked into the crowd with a smile on his face, and asked in a gentle tone, "What's going on? What happened... As expected of young people, it's so cold, but their tempers are still so fiery!"

As he spoke, he tightened the military uniform on his body.

A simple sentence, a small movement.

It not only showed his concern for his subordinates, but also showed his approachability, narrowing the relationship with this group of young men with bare chests.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao sneered in his heart. This person was indeed well-versed in the art of power, and it was no wonder that Xiao, the God of the Army, was powerless in the face of such an opponent.

"Deputy Commander Luo, this is what happened..."

Liu Yu respectfully recounted what had happened before, impartially, objectively, and neutrally.

When facing Team Leader Zhang, she could be sharp, but in front of Luo Xingquan, her momentum instantly weakened.

There was no way around it, this was the effect produced by the saying that an official of a higher rank can crush those below.

What's more, Luo Xingquan's rank was more than one or two levels higher than Liu Yu's.

Since Liu Yu wanted to survive in this circle, she couldn't avoid it.

Luo Xingquan groaned, shook his head, and said with a self-reproaching expression, "So that's how it is, it seems that my good intentions were used in the wrong place."

Everyone didn't speak, no one denied it, which was equivalent to everyone admitting it.

Luo Xingquan's face obviously darkened a little, and then he slowly said, "The reason why I invited Master Huiming to be everyone's instructor was actually inspired by Commander Song."

"I think everyone may have heard that a few years ago, the former Commander Song had a fight with our Deputy Commander Xiao, and that time, Commander Song returned defeated. There were even rumors from the outside that losing to Deputy Commander Xiao caused him to suffer a great blow, and he became depressed and even ran to Mount Wutai to become a monk."

"This rumor is half true."

"The part about Commander Song being depressed is naturally false, otherwise, he would not have become the Commander Song of today."

"And the true part is that Commander Song really ran to Mount Wutai to become a monk. He followed the martial monks of Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai to cultivate for several years, and finally realized the supreme martial arts... Now Deputy Commander Xiao can't last three moves in front of him!"

As soon as this was said, the whole place was in an uproar.

Xiao Zhan, in the hearts of these young people, was like a god.

Although they had heard some rumors that Xiao, the God of the Army, had been defeated by Song Anbang, they didn't believe it, they just thought it was a rumor.

But Luo Xingquan dared to say it openly in front of so many people, so this matter was probably true.

The most terrifying thing was that someone as strong as Xiao, the God of the Army, couldn't even last three moves in front of Song Anbang...

A layer of haze instantly covered the heads of those young people.

Luo Xingquan deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for everyone's reaction.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Huiming is a martial monk that I invited from Qingliang Temple, maybe his strength is not as good as yours, but his training methods are definitely correct!"

Luo Xingquan's implication was that Commander Song was able to comprehend the supreme martial arts with the martial monks of Qingliang Temple, which meant that there was definitely no problem with the martial monks of Qingliang Temple.

Then the problem must be with you!

You group of so-called proud sons of heaven selected by Xiao Zhan, you are not good enough and you still beat the instructor, then your problem is even bigger!

After Luo Xingquan's remarks, the Celestial Strategy Army blushed and began to reflect on themselves.

Even Pei Zhendong, the instigator, began to think that the problem was really with himself.

He took a step forward, ready to admit his mistake.

At this moment, a disdainful voice suddenly came.

"It's simply nonsense, a preposterous fallacy!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man in a single shirt walking towards them with his head held high.

Chen Xiao finally couldn't help it and meddled in other people's business again.

"What do you mean by that?"

Luo Xingquan narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Xiao.

He had noticed Chen Xiao's existence long ago, and naturally knew who Chen Xiao was.

He had also heard of Chen Xiao's temper and prestige, so without Song Anbang around, he didn't want to have a direct conflict with Chen Xiao.

"I'm saying that your words are utter nonsense!"

Facing the second most important figure in the Celestial Strategy Army camp, Chen Xiao didn't give him any face at all, "Even if Song Anbang really comprehended the supreme martial arts after cultivating with the martial monks of Qingliang Temple, this doesn't explain anything."

"A very simple principle, someone who only has elementary school knowledge is not qualified to lecture college students!"

"You look like you're not young, don't you even understand this principle?"

"If you have to pretend that you don't understand this principle, then you're either stupid or evil!"

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, all the members of Luo Xingquan's guard immediately raised their guns, the muzzles locked on Chen Xiao.

"Dare to be disrespectful to Deputy Commander Luo, you're tired of living!"

Team Leader Zhang straightened up again, he thought that his chance to redeem himself had finally come...
