Chapter six hundred and ninetieth: partiality
Marshal Baili's warship was parked in the harbor. When Chang Qing came back from the sea, the sky had turned slightly white. At a glance, he saw the old man wearing a coat on the deck looking from a distance. He had obviously stayed up all night and couldn't hide it.
Fatigue overflowed from her sharp eyes a little bit. Chang Qing smiled, strode over, and said in a slow voice: "We don't have as many birds as others to travel easily. You should know my recent cruise route. Take a seat."
It will take a long time for the boat to come over! Why don't you go back to the house and rest and wait for me? It's really outrageous to be out blowing the wind at such an old age."
Baili Feng put on a light smile without hesitation. The navy officers of this generation were all from his sect, and they were always so rude when talking to him, but he actually enjoyed this unrestrained attitude.
He raised his finger and pointed to another chair that had been prepared long ago, and replied: "I guessed that you might not arrive until noon, but it turned out that you came at dawn. This batch of armory-modified water
Is it useful to get off the boat?"
Chang Qing pulled up a chair and sat down leisurely, chatting casually with the marshal: "It's easy to use, but it's a pity that there are too few. Let them work overtime to build a few more ships."
"Working overtime? That's a good idea." Although Baili Feng's voice was a bit tired, he still snorted vigorously, tapping his fingers on the armrest and replied, "It's not like you don't know that there are shortages everywhere now.
Man, it would be nice to arrange for a few mechanics to come over and build a ship for you."
"Haha..." Chang Qing shrugged his brows, clasped his hands together, and sighed, "Except for the Military Pavilion, no one is busier than us now. You are still in charge of the North Coast Navy Headquarters at such an old age. Those who are there every day
What's wrong with the popular armory in the Imperial City working overtime? Speaking of which, Tianzhiya's water channel has been repaired for a year and a half since it was last destroyed, and it hasn't recovered yet! If the top doesn't push, the bottom will just pretend.
Death, they are all accustomed to bad habits, and all of them are just lazy."
Baili Feng smiled and looked at Chang Qing with admiration: "If everyone is as diligent as you, do you still need rules and regulations to restrict it? Speaking of which, you caught a woman yesterday, right?"
Chang Qing looked at the Marshal calmly. He knew that the Marshal came to him this time for this matter, but the other party didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he just chatted casually. At this time, he finally heard the most critical words, Chang Qing
Qing nodded lightly and replied: "Last night when we were preparing to return, a big fire-colored bird flew over the warship. I didn't think that thing looked like an ordinary monster. Just in case, I ordered people to attack with artillery.
Then I used the golden thread binding technique to catch it back, but after falling into the sea, the big bird turned into a woman, and it is currently being held captive by me."
"Let her go." Baili Feng was more direct than expected. It seemed that she didn't even want to explain. She said directly to him, "It's not an invading monster from outside. Let her go."
"Oh?" Chang Qing looked at the marshal with a complicated expression. On the way here, he had imagined countless possible excuses, thinking that the marshal would make up some excuses like Ye Zhuofan to let him go, but it turned out that the old man seemed to have seen through him a long time ago.
With all his thoughts, he asked him to let him go without finding any reason. It would be pointless for him to continue to beat around the bush, so he simply opened his mouth and asked bluntly: "I thought you were old, so in the middle of the night
I want you to have a peaceful sleep and wait until daybreak before I send someone to inform you of what happened last night, so I just sent a message to Ye Zhuofan. As a result, as soon as he arrived at my place, you knew everything about the last night. I am really very worried.
I’m curious, who is so well-informed and knows how to bypass me and go directly to you to plead for mercy?”
Baili Feng spoke so bluntly because he knew Chang Qing's temperament so well, but the calmer the marshal's expression became, the more complicated the expression on Chang Qing's face became. After a slight stalemate, Chang Qing smiled and took the initiative with a joke.
Then he said, "Could it be that the Marshal also knows that girl? I heard Major General Ye say that it was a mutated flamingo alien. It was once caught by a trafficker and brought to Xiao Qinlou to sell, and he bought her back because he liked it. After all, he
You are a young man, so it is normal for you to act like a hero when you see a beautiful girl. At your age, you don’t go to famous black shops like Xiao Qinlou from time to time to have fun, right? "
"You!" Marshal Baili laughed, knocked him on the forehead angrily, and cursed, "You are the only one who dares to talk to me like this. If you really believed Ye Zhuofan, you wouldn't hold him back now.
They won’t let me go.”
Chang Qing rubbed the red forehead, but didn't mind, and replied: "Haha, that is indeed much more beautiful than the flamingo. If I must say...it is more beautiful than the blazing phoenix next to Feng Ji.
Like some.”
"Feng Ji's younger sister." Baili Feng continued the words seemingly casually. Chang Qing's pupils sank slightly, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm not interested in Feng Ji's younger sister. Marshal, it's better to find someone else."
More familiar with the title?”
Baili Feng sighed, not surprised at all, and said calmly: "You are always careful, serious and persistent in doing things. I knew you must have guessed her identity, so I didn't give you some fancy reasons. There is indeed someone
They came to me, they are also hunting those invading monsters."
He lowered his head again, but there was an unfathomable smile at the corner of his mouth. For a long time, he didn't say anything more on the topic just now. Instead, with a touch of sadness, he replied in a low tone: "Marshal always
My preference for him has not changed at all after so many years."
Baili Feng fell silent. He knew who the "he" in Chang Qing's mouth was referring to, but when he suddenly mentioned it at this time, the relationship between the two suddenly became strangely strange. Chang Qing sighed and looked up.
He stared at the white horizon, raised a wry smile, and said helplessly: "I grew up with you on the sea since I was a child. When I was sixteen, you first prompted me to become a captain. I was very happy at that time.
When I was sixteen years old, you deployed me to the East China Sea and promoted me to Vice Admiral. Ten years seems like a long time, but in a place like the Navy, I am already the fastest person to be promoted, and I have always been very proud.
"
He suddenly glanced at the old man beside him. The boldness hidden in the vicissitudes of his eyes was like a storm. It is still the object of his most admiration today. Chang Qing smiled gently and continued: "Until that child appeared, he
He was forced into your hands, and you carried him to the sea with a reluctant look on his face. It only lasted a year, but I know that you treat him differently from others.
How old are you? Seven or eight? But at that time, your eyes were full of expectations, as if you regarded him as your successor and gave him the greatest trust and support."
"Hey..." Baili Feng just sighed, and his thoughts gradually became distant. Chang Qing quietly looked at the Marshal's ever-changing face, which gradually showed calmness and gentleness from the initial regret. With such an expression, he
I have seen him countless times in the past few decades, and every time he mentioned the child, the marshal would show such an expression that made him feel sad, and this emotion also gently, gently spread over his heart, tingling.
With some deep nerves, he said in a low voice: "It is said that the Navy is the most senior-oriented force among the three armed forces. It is possible to be promoted to the position of general in the 40s, and the position of marshal requires extraordinary experience and ability.
But he is still so young, and you are already preparing to train him as your successor. I really envy him."
"Ha... I must be old and confused." Baili Feng waved his hands noncommittally, unable to explain the reason for his impulse back then. He just simply felt that the child had a special power, which made him let go.
He had the urge to make an exception, but unfortunately this idea was just his wishful thinking. Even today, he had no idea what the child wanted and what he was doing. However, Chang Qing shook his head very firmly,
He replied: "Marshal is not an old fool. Although he did not join the navy, he was still promoted to the position of the master of the military cabinet by the then crown prince. It is no wonder that Governor Gao was dissatisfied. A young man in his twenties
, is actually on the same level as you and him, even if everyone knows that the backer behind this matter is the Crown Prince, it is still incredible."
"It's not unbelievable. The systems of the three armies are different. The military pavilion is originally prepared for young people." Regarding this point, Baili Feng rarely expressed his opinion. Chang Qing pursed his lips, not wanting to argue with him about this.
The marshal got into an argument, changed the topic back to the beginning, and said, "Since the marshal knows the special relationship between the woman I accidentally caught last night and him, then with his current status, it will be fine if you don't order the arrest, and he will still be alive."
Should I return the person to him? I know you have always been partial to him, but turning a blind eye would be the end of your kindness. Taking the initiative to help...isn't it appropriate?"
Before he finished speaking, a row of blue birds flew overhead in the direction of the Demonic Mountain. The two of them raised their heads at the same time, and Baili Feng said sternly: "Now, although we use the golden thread technique to intercept Cang Shark at sea,
But Gale had already escaped into the depths of the forbidden land before. The terrain of the Demonic Mountain is complex and the climate is changeable, and Gale is a strange foreign invader. Neither of them is suitable for the soldiers to fight. Now they have the best helpers,
If you hold her captive forcibly, you will only let the young men in the military pavilion take risks in vain. Let’s not mention her more familiar name, Feng Ji’s younger sister... It’s perfectly appropriate to go after Da Feng in this capacity, right?”
Chang Qing frowned. The marshal's words were reasonable and he could not refute them. However, when thinking of her relationship with Xiao Qianye, Chang Qing always felt more doubt than trust in her heart. This uneasy feeling contained too many scum.
The sense of disobedience made his back feel like it was crawling with ants, filled with a numb and itchy feeling. The atmosphere suddenly froze. He gritted his teeth and asked with all his strength: "The marshal is so sure that he is not an enemy? The four realms are broken."
The disaster has not been eliminated. Wherever he goes, there will be rivers of blood. Even if you are partial, you should give me a convincing reason."
Baili Feng's body stiffened for a moment, but he did not raise his head. Many messy memory fragments flooded into his mind. He recalled the firmness on Xiao Qianye's face when he first saw him, and then recalled his faint caution as an adult.
He shook his head and sighed: "He didn't tell me the truth."
"Then let him come to see me on his own." Chang Qing stood up, his pupils like sharp daggers shining with blood-eating light, and said in a low voice, "Marshal should know that my wife died from the fragmentation of the East Ming.
He is still buried in the ground without a proper burial. Unless he can give me a reason to do this, I cannot let go of the woman he likes under any circumstances. Even if you plead for mercy in person, I will not let go."
