Chapter 131: The Downfall of the Ten Thousand Dragons Assembly

  "I'll adjust my breath while saying: If you guys don't come forward and fight me, I'll have to look for you. Eight stars are shining brightly."

  As I spoke, I pretended to lift my foot and made a gesture as if I was going to move forward and fight them. The three enemies were startled and instinctively retreated backward.

  I smiled and withdrew my raised leg: "It seems you don't want to fight me, so let me ask you, what are your positions in the Wanlong Association?"

  The three enemies looked at each other again, and the man in the middle said: "We are just ordinary warriors, nothing special."

  My heart skipped a beat, and I almost immediately said: "So what kind of underworld are you guys mixed up in? Terrorist organizations don't even take you martial artists seriously. In my opinion, since we're the Dragon Protection Squad, at least your kung fu skills can earn you a company commander position, which is still better than being just an unknown soldier here."

  The enemy in the middle heard my words and said in a low voice: "Company Commander? You're not kidding me, are you?"

  I laughed and said: "What's a company commander? If you have the ability, after staying in the army for a few years, maybe you can even become a regimental commander."

  The enemy in the middle suddenly had a hopeful face, and his eyes no longer had any hostility towards me. Instead, he looked at me with some expectation: "You are a national guardian, you shouldn't deceive us. If we surrender now, can you really let us join the Dragon Protection Squad? And also, can you make us platoon leaders?"

  I knew I was in a hurry just now, so I stabilized them and said something big. Now that I think about it, I regret it, but it's too late. So I said: "What I said must count. The specific position will depend on your performance. You can't all become company commanders as soon as you arrive at the troops. If that's the case, I'm afraid none of the soldiers will obey you."

  The three enemies in front of me nodded in unison, indicating their agreement with what I said. The middle one then spoke to me: "What you said is right, we will behave well... as long as we are not executed as *** after joining the Dragon Protection Squad, we will definitely behave well and strive to become a company commander or even a squad leader."

  I was overjoyed: "It's up to you now, but in my opinion, with your skills and combat experience, once you join the Dragon Guard, you'll definitely be put to good use, and who knows, maybe you'll even be entrusted with important tasks right away."

  The man in the middle immediately said: "In that case, what should we do now?"

  "I pointed at the enemies lying on the ground: 'You tie these enemies up now, and then go with me to the Dragon Protection Squad. The rest of the matters will be handled by me.'"

  As soon as I finished speaking, these three enemies actually started taking action, untying the belts of those enemies and tying them all up one by one.

  I went forward to help, and moved all of the enemies I had knocked out into the vehicle. We would head back to the Hu Long Squad first, and then consider how to deal with this matter afterwards.

  At this time, I heard Li Huanhuan's voice coming: "Jin Cang, we're here, hold on!"

  I forced a smile and said loudly, "It's already been taken care of, what took you so long?"

  Li Huanhuan led nearly a whole company of people rushing over like flying, shouting loudly as they ran: "Are you all done fighting? Am I late?"

  I smiled wryly: "It doesn't matter, anyway nothing's wrong now. Since you're here, help bring them back. These three are new defectors, I promised to let them join our Dragon Protection Squad. After we get back, we'll have a good talk with the squad leader and try our best to satisfy their demands."

  Li Huanhuan didn't care about all that, she just threw her arms around me and exclaimed loudly: "As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine!"

  I smiled and patted her back, whispering: "Our comrades are watching, can't you be less excited?"

  Li Huanhuan slowly let go, then said: "This time it was my fault, and I made you suffer. I...I won't do this again, as long as you treat me a little better in the future, I...I...I will stay."

  I saw that she was very reluctant, knowing that she still wasn't too happy about living with Chen Jing and the others. So I whispered: "If you're not willing, I can let go and give you your freedom. Although I really don't want to leave you, I also can't be too selfish..."

  Li Huanhuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly kicked me with force: "You think you're so great, I left you just to make you anxious, not because I didn't want to see you again!"

  I laughed: "So that's it. In that case, I don't have to worry about it anymore. You can just follow me like this. Anyway, my reputation is already ruined, and I don't care what others say."

  Li Huan's face turned red, she giggled and quietly took a step back, then said: "You're just a flirtatious big radish, we several people all didn't have eyes, actually would like you."

  I wanted to speak, and then I heard the phone ringing. Hurriedly looking at it, it was Chen Jing calling: "Jin Cang, what's going on? Has the danger been resolved?"

  I heard the voice was Sun Heng's, so I smiled and said: "Someone kidnapped Huanhuan sister, isn't this a heroic rescue? Don't worry now, everything is fine."

  Sun Heng nodded: "Your cousin just saw Li Huanhuan take a group of people out, saying they were going to rescue you. She was so scared that she almost followed them to find you. So, I had to call you to see if you're safe."

  I laughed: "You'd better stop, isn't this Chen Jing's phone number? How did my cousin get dragged into this again? If you can't tell the truth, then don't lie casually, or else it'll all be a joke."

  Sun Heng fell silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "It's not me lying, but your girlfriend, she didn't let me say it was her who wanted to know about your current situation... You little brat, you're too lucky, there are so many people caring about you."

  I smiled and said: "That's right, or else you can also try to find a few more people who care about you?"

  Sun Heng subconsciously said: "I don't want to be scolded... You little brat, tempting me to say the wrong thing! Forget it, I have something else to do, that's all, hanging up first."

  I responded with a sound, turned around and said to the warriors of the Dragon Guard: "Everyone hurry up, we will return to the team immediately."

  The warriors quickened their pace and soon exited.

  In the conference room of the team, which was also the command center for combat operations, Sun Xiao Yi had an icy expression on her face. As soon as she saw me, her first words were: "What's going on with you? Why did you take action without authorization and not even inform me?"

  I smiled and said: "I'm going to find Huanhuan sister, what's it got to do with you?"

  "Then you are still the martial arts instructor of my Dragon Guard Team, and I am your team leader. You must inform me first if anything happens."

  I saw her very excited, and said: "I didn't know that Huanhuan sister had an accident, I only knew after going there, can't blame me."

  Sun Xiao Yi was taken aback: "You didn't know beforehand that Huan Huan Jie... had an accident?"

  I nodded: "I went to find her, heard she went to the airport. When I arrived at the airport, I received a call from the kidnapper, saying that Huanhuan sister was caught by them."

  Sun Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Since it's like that, I won't blame you. But... why did you appear on all the major websites, newspapers, TV and other media? Looking at your appearance back then, it was no different from a monkey show, it was simply too embarrassing for our Hu Long Tuan."

  I was stunned and immediately said: "What's going on? How did I lose face for the Hu Long team? I... I didn't do anything!"

  Sun Xiao Yi casually threw a freshly printed newspaper at me and said "read it yourself", then ignored me.

  As I picked up the newspaper to read, I saw that my photos with many people were published on it, and even the photo I hung on the chandelier was also published in this newspaper.

  The newspaper also attached a statement, detailing my name and position, as well as the resumes of some individuals.

  I thought to myself that it's no big deal, so I said: "It's just a few photos and some personal resumes, there's nothing embarrassing about it."

  Sun Xiao Yi said with a huff: "How can you not have any military common sense... Your information is confidential, even we cannot casually provide it to the media. But now, even your family members are published in the newspaper. You say, what if the enemy threatens you by targeting your relatives and friends in the future, what should we do?"

  My heart skipped a beat as I suddenly thought of something terrible, so I quickly said: "It's my fault, at the time I had a misunderstanding with airport security personnel and some police officers. In order not to deepen the misunderstanding, I had no choice but to reveal my identity... It was my consideration that wasn't thorough, causing trouble for the team leader."

  Sun Xiao Yi sighed: "It's all because you have too many women, so there are more troubles, and that's why something happened..." Paused for a moment, turned back to look at me: "You'd better be careful next time, this time we'll step in to solve the problem, but we can't always wipe your butt... You'd better be careful."

  I heard her say "wipe your butt", I almost burst out laughing, I didn't expect Sun Xiao Yi to swear too: "Captain, I'll be careful, don't worry."

  Sun Xiao Yi saw me like this, and his anger dissipated by more than half: "You first go arrange food and lodging for the three people you brought back, according to your promise, and treat them with the same courtesy as Lian Zhang. As for their specific duties, I still need to consider it a bit further. After all, they are people from the Wan Long Association, and at the beginning, we can't give them positions that are too high, lest we stir up unnecessary trouble."

  I nodded: "Why don't we just let them follow me, I'm also short of martial arts instructors, and they are Shaolin lay disciples who understand kung fu, it's just right to use them."

  Sun Xiaoyi nodded slightly: "I'll consider it, and I'll let you know if there's a result."

  I nodded and turned around to leave, taking the three people with me to arrange their food and accommodation. As the saying goes, "food is heaven for the common people", eating is the most important thing, so this matter must be arranged first.

  I arranged those three people and returned to my residence, fell asleep as soon as I lay down, the battle just now made me feel extremely tired.

  I actually slept for only a few hours and felt my physical strength recovered, but to ensure sufficient energy, I started practicing to make the true energy in my body fully recover.

  In this way, time slowly passed by for a day and a night.

  It wasn't until the third morning after I returned home that I finally went out.

  To my surprise, I had just left the house when I received a call from Old Chen. He ordered me and Commissar Sun to go to his office immediately, saying that there was something very important he wanted to discuss with us.

  I hastily called Sun Xiao Yi and Han Yi, jumped onto a military vehicle, and hurriedly rushed to Old Chen's office.

  When we arrived, I saw many military vehicles like ours parked in the underground parking lot. It seemed that there were a lot of people coming over this time.

  I had a hunch that this matter would be important, so I quickened my pace and arrived at Lao's office with Sun Xiao Yi and Han Yi.

  Old Chen's secretary, Little Zhang, stepped forward as soon as he saw me and said, "Please go in alone."

  I didn't hesitate, nodded and walked in first. As I entered Old Chen's office, I saw a row of over ten people sitting there, all staring at me as if waiting for me. Generals Wen Wu and Long Jinfeng were also seated, apparently here specifically for this meeting.

  Mr. Chen said as I came in, "Take a seat, let's start today's meeting."

  I sat down nearby and listened to Old Chen continue, "There are two pieces of news, one is good and the other not so good. Let's start with the good news first. Recently, we successfully found and captured the leader of the Wanlong Society through several members who surrendered and were brought back by General Jin. From now on, the Wanlong Society, a terrorist organization that has been causing trouble in our country for many years, can be said to have been completely eliminated by us."

  More than a dozen people in the room heard the news and started applauding together, everyone was excitedly looking at each other, with excitement and agitation in their eyes.

  Chen Lao and the others were excited for a while, then he pointed at me and said to the others: "This is Jin Cang, the General who made this great achievement. We will be working together from now on, let's get acquainted."

  Then many people stood up and shook hands with me, as if I had become their hero.

  "After Mr. Chen and the others had made our acquaintance, he said: 'General Jin is a national guardian, I believe you all know that. From now on, General Jin will be working in our military department. He's young, so please take care of him.'"

  Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Understood!"

  I smiled and nodded in appreciation of everyone's support.

  "Secondly, the news is not so good. At 1 o'clock this morning, our southern front was breached by the enemy, and we lost almost two provinces of territory. Moreover, our officers and soldiers at the front line suffered heavy casualties. It is reported that the enemy used large-scale lethal weapons to launch a surprise attack on our positions, leaving our troops with no time or ability to resist. This is a blatant violation of international conventions, so we must make severe criticism of this incident and take heavy blows against those who ignore international conventions. Now I command!"

  We all stood up in unison, and a dozen or so pairs of eyes were fixed on Old Chen.

  Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and he said sternly: "You are all high-ranking officials in the military, commanders of various armies and divisions. Now I order that each army dispatch an elite division to rush to the southern front line immediately. Within one month, annihilate all invading enemies. The Military Department permits you to use the same weapons to counterattack when facing large-scale lethal attacks."

  We all shouted in unison: "Yes!"

  "Everyone, this battle is different from the previous ones. In the past, our enemies did not use banned weapons and we could slowly consume them. Now everything has changed, the enemy has become more brutal and committed atrocities. We are the soldiers of Huaxia, the guardians of Huaxia. Our people have been killed by the enemy, our territory has been occupied by the enemy, we absolutely cannot allow such things to continue, we must resolutely counterattack!"

  "We resolutely counterattack!"

  "Now everyone go and prepare, I want to see your troops out today, at the latest tomorrow night, I want to see the battle start."

  The crowd shouted in unison again: "Yes!"

  Wen Wu looked at Chen Lao and Long Jinfeng, stood up and said: "There is one more thing, please remember. The one-month deadline that General Chen mentioned earlier is the highest order, please take this deadline seriously and don't let the boss down."

  The crowd looked at each other and then said in unison: "We remember the emperor's long-standing order, we will do our best to drive out foreign enemies and restore China."

  Long Jinfeng had been silent all along, and now he smiled slightly, stood up and said: "Then you all go prepare, time waits for no man."

  Everyone began to leave the temporary conference room, with only me walking at the back. Because Chen Lao's order was for me and Sun Xiao Yi, as well as Han Yi to come over together. Now that Sun Xiao Yi and Han Yi have not yet arrived, it seems that Chen Lao and the others must still have tasks to assign to us.

  As expected, Old Chen looked at me and then said, "Go call over Captain Sun Xiao Yi and Chief of Staff Han Yi."

  I called Sun Xiaoyi and Han Yi to come in, and Old Chen said: "General Wen and General Long are both familiar with you, so I won't introduce them much. I asked you to come over because there is something very important that I want you to take care of."

  The three of us quickly stood up and looked at Old Chen, Wen Wu, and Long Jinfeng.

  Long Jinfeng smiled and said: "General Jin, you and we are of the same rank, there is no need to be like this. Let's sit down and talk, don't be so formal."

  I knew that Long Jinfeng was joking with me, although I am a nominal general, but in fact I have no real power, and they are old qualified generals, compared to them three, I am still their subordinate.

  So I smiled and said: "You're too kind, how dare I be presumptuous in front of the three of you? I'd better stand and listen to your guidance."

  Long Jinfeng smiled and said: "You young man, you're getting more and more respectful of your elders. However, today you really need to sit down and listen, otherwise, you might end up standing until your legs ache."

  I was taken aback: "Is this matter difficult to handle?"

  Long Jinfeng nodded: "It's indeed very difficult. The specific matters, General Wen will explain to you in detail later. Now I want to ask you three a question: If you are sent to a very dangerous place to execute a task this time, and it is likely that only one out of ten people can survive, are you willing to go and execute this task?"

  "I asked without hesitation: 'What role does this task play for our country?'"

  Long Jinfeng smiled and said: "It can be described in four words, life and death. The survival of our country is related to your mission this time."

  I frowned and said, "Why did they choose us three people to carry out such an important task?"

  Long Jinfeng smiled and said: "Because you understand martial arts, Sun Xiaoyi has had undercover experience, and Han Yi is originally a member of the Red Dress Female Army."

  My mind was racing and then I said: "I'm fine."

  Sun Xiao Yi also followed and said: "I have no problem either."

  Han Yi looked at us and didn't speak for a long time. She was thinking and hesitating.

  Long Jinfeng didn't say anything else and just looked at the three of us, with a smile on his face all along. Chen Lao and Wen Wu who were sitting together with him also remained silent.

  Three minutes later, Han Yi finally lifted his head and looked at Long Jinfeng, saying: "General Long, I have a question, and I hope you can give me an answer."

  Long Jinfeng nodded: "If there's anything you want to ask, just say it."

  Han Yi said: "Is our mission this time related to the Red Cloak Female Army? Have they encountered some problem?"

  Long Jinfeng hesitated for a moment, and Old Man Chen had already said: "This matter cannot be hidden from them, we can first tell them some of the truth."

  Long Jinfeng nodded slightly: "This time we were able to wipe out the Wanlong Society, thanks to the support of the Red Dress Female Army. So they are now heroes of our country, without any problem. The real problem is with another organization of ours."
