Chapter 117 116. Imperial Capital Wuyue [Two in One]

Huaiyu carried a basket to collect rose petals, still relying on the old-fashioned sweet talk.

But in the imperial capital, Wu Yue also felt that he had encountered the same old routine.

"General Wu, I heard that you personally taught the newly promoted garrison captain? It's true that a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command!"

"He's really working hard. He got promoted so quickly!"

"She deserves it! I heard that she was on a mission a while ago. Although she looks like a young girl, she was fearless and brave when it came to risking her life. She charged forward..."

"Indeed! Everyone has seen the video that was sent back. General Wu, it looks a lot like you fighting for your life a few years ago!"

Wu Yue had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were full of perfunctory attitude. However, everyone present seemed not to notice and continued to praise him.

He felt irritated by all the praise.

It's like this every time. When they come around, they start praising their children. They either want to send them to the garrison or they want to take the opportunity to have more contact with them...

It's really annoying.

He tugged at his collar, and then forced a smile on his face: "I'm going to have a cigarette."

"Go ahead!" Everyone laughed in a friendly manner, and the noise was gradually left behind him.

However, Wu Yue, who walked into the garden alone, did not notice that the smiles on the faces of the people behind him remained unchanged, but the words they said were very different from the compliments just now -

"Come to think of it, I once met General Wu and he was smoking - why was he smoking a cheap brand? Didn't the logistics department have a special supply? Or did he just like that brand?"

"Hiss! Then do I have to change the brand of my New Year's gift?"

"Look at you guys, you're so sarcastic when you say something bad, what a problem! Everyone knows that his mother loves to spend money and show off..."

"Come to think of it, he seemed to have a girlfriend before, and they dated for many years. From what she said, she seemed to be a very down-to-earth girl. But in the end, his mother broke up with them because she thought she was of low social status..."

"Oh! This is totally normal. Didn't you see the way he talked to us? We are also low-class!"

"Really are……"

"You said it's strange. General Lin was arrogant to us at first, and sometimes his words were hurtful, but I didn't get angry. Why do I feel so disgusted when I see his stinky face?"

"General Lin doesn't care about us, and he doesn't care about anyone! And he is straightforward. He refuses when he refuses, and he will find a way out if he can... Isn't he better than this indecisive person?"

"Tsk, look at you guys, after all, you are young and promising..."

"Hahahaha, Old Chang, you're still honest - but you don't live far from his house, aren't we afraid that you'll tell tales?"

"Bah! I don't care! The onions I planted in the yard with great difficulty were all pulled out by his mother! I used purified water to water them!"

"Don't mention it! This kid was so young, and he really didn't care about his life at first, so the higher-ups appreciated him. Who would have thought that after all these years..."

The person who was speaking grunted and couldn't find any adjective for a long time.

Or was it accurately described by another young man: "Arrogant and greasy?"

"Yeah!"

Everyone pondered over this word and felt that it was so accurate.

Isn't it just arrogant and greasy?
The key point is that we all worked hard for our lives to get here, so who are you to be proud of?
My supernatural powers are not as strong as yours, and I have not created a rose corridor that can protect a city for five or six years...

Bah! What kind of rose is so unlucky!

General Lin was arrogant in the beginning. He was the strongest individual soldier and his ability in coordinated combat was impeccable. But he was not such an arrogant and oily person!
Whenever I catch someone coming up to chat with them, I feel like I need something from him... Bah!

Others bring their children to say a few polite words, but he is just too young and he is making a big deal out of it!
Besides, Wu Yue has been taking it easy in the last few years, so how many times a year will there be a wasteland mission? Everyone knows it.

Everyone was thinking about various ideas in their minds, but they kept chattering:

"By the way, Lao Bai, why didn't you say anything? We just praised your daughter. Our Feather really performed well this time!"

"Why should I say anything? Just praise her, and I'll beat her up when I get back - this damn girl, she worked so hard to take on a mission. How dare she show off after having no skills at all..."

It is good if children can achieve something great, but if this achievement is gained at the cost of their life, which parent would not be angry?

When this was said, everyone felt the same way.

Some people even started to grumble, "Why did I hear a rumor that your daughter is always hanging around General Wu?"

"Hiss - I heard that too! Lao Bai, you have to think about it when you go back. Wu Yue's mother said that many people love to pester you, and their family has high standards..."

Lao Bai also sneered: "People say that now they have no interest in marriage and only want peace - just pretending!"

Lao Bai shook his head frantically:

"We can't possibly marry a young talent like General Wu. My daughter is just going to ask for advice - she is still young and has no interest in marriage. She only desires peace..."

The same words are used to describe these two people, but when people hear them, the feeling is completely different.

Everybody started laughing.

"I know, I know! When Bai Yu becomes a general, I will find you a perfect son-in-law!"

"Old White, you are good at teaching children. You are so clear-headed! General Wu's family..."

Everyone shook their heads, and everything was said without words.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue, pressing a lighter, was holding a cigarette and walking quietly into the garden.

During this mission in the wilderness, the young people from each family made great contributions, so several families joined together to hold a celebration banquet, and Wu Yue was naturally among the invited guests.

However, this group of people only speak in official language and say nonsense every day. He even apologized to many of them because of his mother. The other party's words were neither positive nor negative, which really made him feel depressed.

Now that I come to the banquet, my mood is inevitably a little bit worse.

Especially the girl next door named Bai...

To be honest, Bai Yu doesn't look bad, with short hair and a lively look, but she doesn't look like a girl.

She doesn’t have the frailty of a girl.

She often hangs around in front of him, and Wu Yue naturally knows her little thoughts clearly.

But Wu Yue felt uncomfortable facing her - who made him have such a mother? He still owed her family a large amount of contribution points.

That Aunt Wang was probably trying to curry favor with him, and she deliberately borrowed 5000 points from his mother... His salary is high, but it can't be higher than the accumulation of debts like this!

At this moment, he took a puff of cigarette and thought silently, planning to go to the wilderness again this year.

Otherwise, if there is no reward for the wasteland mission, this debt will have to wait until the end of time...especially since it is still accumulating.

And why doesn't his mother understand the hardships he has to go through as a son?

While thinking about it, Wu Yue suddenly turned around and asked vigilantly: "Who?!" He saw a familiar figure slowly walking out from behind the tree. It was the daughter of Aunt Wang next door, and Bai Yu, who often walked around him and came back and forth in the name of asking for advice.

Wu Yue frowned and couldn't help feeling annoyed again.

Ever since he got promoted, or to be more precise, before he got promoted, there have been too many women surrounding him like this.

But thinking about how he had just been chatting with the other party's father, he took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his impatience:

"What are you following me for?"

The girl opposite instantly blushed and clenched her fists tightly, as if she was very nervous.

This made him feel a little soft-hearted again.

She was a young and beautiful girl after all, and there was still a faint scar on her face. He was not the kind of person who only cared about appearance, especially since she had fought with him in real combat...

Is it a bit cruel to treat them like this?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but soften his tone:
"I'm sorry for scaring you."

He walked towards Bai Yu, but the other party quickly took a step back like a frightened deer in the forest. After a long time, he clenched his fists and said nervously:
"I, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he rushed into the hall as fast as the wind, his movements were extremely agile.

Wu Yue looked at her back and laughed for no apparent reason.

But when he thought about the mess between his mother and Aunt Wang, he couldn't help but get a headache again.

……

After the banquet was over, Bai Yu finally waited until he got off the car and returned to his home. As soon as he entered the house, he quickly rushed to the bedroom upstairs, grabbed a pillow and threw it on the bed frantically.

"Neuropathy!"

"Disgusting!"

"The lower man!"

"narcissism!"

“Oil is dead!”

"Bai Yu," the mother came up and gently knocked on the door that she hadn't closed, "Keep your voice down. You've been promoted, so you can't be so impatient anymore."

Bai Yu angrily threw the pillow onto the bed, then sat down, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Why can't I keep my composure? I've been holding it in for an hour or two at the banquet. I'm so patient!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up again, hummed and turned around twice:

"Sometimes I really hate myself for being so patient in order to achieve great things! I should have beaten his pig head to pieces at that time!"

what!
This situation has often occurred since my daughter went to Wu Yue for advice. As a mother, I have become somewhat accustomed to it. At this moment, I still speak softly:
"You want to take shortcuts and quickly gather the people around him, but you have to pay the price."

"Besides, your ability to endure is really not up to par. Otherwise, if you were to have a relationship with him, maybe the progress would be faster."

This was said in a sarcastic tone, but it successfully calmed Bai Yu down: "Mom, you are so ridiculous. My superpowers are not weak. Why do I still want to have a relationship with him? Why not let me go to the wilderness and kill for ten days and ten nights?"

"Puh, puh, puh!" The mother could no longer maintain her composure, and came over and hit her on the head with a pillow:

“Is it a good thing to stay in the wilderness for 10 days and 10 nights?”

"Look at the scar on your face! If you come any closer, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

"You've only been on a few missions and you're so brave? Don't you even think about me and your dad?"

Touching the scar on her cheek, Bai Yu's face showed some fear, but then she became proud again:
"Mom, you didn't see me kill that black widow spider - how cool!"

"And my efforts were not in vain. Look, I got promoted and have more people under me. The veterans around Wu Yue who have rich combat experience have also formed a preliminary impression of me. I should be pretty good."

"The defense forces in Huacheng should also have a favorable impression of me..."

"Hehe..." She couldn't help but fantasize again: "In my lifetime, I want to be a general!"

Turning her head and thinking of the other general, she frowned in annoyance again: "How can there be such a narcissistic person!"

"I told him that I was going there to learn some skills. I even challenged him to a fight every day in order to improve myself as quickly as possible... This damn dog Dengxi doesn't fight properly! He made that gentle and considerate guy die!"

"If I hadn't practiced so hard, I would have suffered a great loss in the wilderness this time!"

"And the way he looked at me - oh my, so rude! He got hurt by me during the sparring, but he still pretended to be so ruthless and said something like 'the little girl is quite ruthless'..."

Thinking about that tolerant tone, Bai Yu became angrier and angrier:
"I already said that there are only opponents in the fighting arena! There are no men or women!"

……

"The little girl is quite ruthless..."

At this moment in Huacheng Hospital, someone also silently put down the mirror, and said such words with a numb face and blank eyes.

There was no one in the ward at the moment. After receiving blood transfusions and taking various medicines, Zhou Qian finally woke up from his comatose and weak state. The first thing he did was to ask the nurse for a mirror.

Good guy!
This sight almost made his expression break down, but the reason he didn't break down was because the scar was growing and was too tight, so it was pulled every time he moved, and it felt painful and weird.

The man in the mirror still had the same dark skin, but there was a fierce scar on his left face from the temple to the cheekbone, and there was also a fierce scar on his right face from the cheek to the mandible.

The doctor had previously said that the cut was too deep and the scar was a bit heavy, but he hadn’t realized it yet. Now, looking at the thick, black and long scar, he really couldn’t bear it anymore.

No wonder he was such a rough old man that the doctor did a lot of ideological work on him after he woke up - the central topic was to accept his appearance, or save up a lot of points so that he could go to the capital for three or five reconstructive surgeries...

Then pull the collar down - from the sides of the neck to the collarbone, then to the chest, upper arms, elbows, and palms...

Especially the long scar on the inside of his forearm. If the bleeding hadn’t been stopped a little more severely, it would have killed him directly!

He put down the mirror and for some reason he remembered a foreign fairy tale that his sister Zhou Ning had recommended to him. What spell did the magician use in the story... Was it called "Invisible Sword" or "Split into Pieces"?

Is this the state that comes out?
At this moment, he put down the mirror and gritted his teeth secretly - fortunately, there was the Rose Corridor, so he could keep the matter secret. Otherwise, he could just use some medicine or some other method, and then cut a few times to remove such a difficult toxin...

After Huaiyu, I’m afraid there will never be a peaceful life again!

Thinking of this, his headache started again -

This little girl is so sweet-talking, why doesn’t she have any brains?

How many times have they met?
You didn't say much at all, did you?

He even brought people to accidentally destroy his house, how could he dare to pay so directly!
Holding the mirror tightly, Zhou Qian fell into deep anxiety——

Huaiyu, she won’t come to the hospital to visit him again, right?

Here I come! Good night here first!
