Chapter 285 Secrets from twenty-three years ago(2/3)
Gu Xiaoren suspected that all this was related to the old woman, because an old woman also appeared in the widow Li.
This should not be a coincidence.
As for the head that was cut off by Gu Xiaoren, it did not have much effect, because this thing has been dead for more than a hundred years and belongs to some ancient corpses to resurrect. The same is the old woman who was involved in the capture of widow Li in the Intelligence Agency, and the other party has no breath.
This is just a carrier of some existence.
Of course, Gu Xiaoren still extracted a series of images of him entering the army in Cao Chengren's memory.
The first half is probably an inspirational story about a commoner who made achievements on the battlefield and continued to grow into legends.
As for the second half...
...
...
"Accomplice."
"Second Minister!"
"After I go down, it is Yu Gong who should take over my class. I have already proposed to Him to recommend you to enter the Demigod Training Plan. At that time, you will probably become the head of the Military and Hengsi."
"Second, second-level!"
"Don't be excited for now, it's still a matter of whether to succeed or not."
"The second-general is very kind and kind, and the one who bears the will will never forget it."
A few days later.
"Sir, I'm sorry, maybe it's because the tea is gone, and no one will sell me for this. I guess you'll have to wait for three years."
Cao Chengren pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly: "The second-level manager is fine, after all, I am still young and can still wait for three years."
"It would be great if you could think like this."
...
...
Three years later.
"This is General Gu Xiaoze, the new leader of the Military and Heng Department..."
...
...
"Celebrator, will you go to General Gu's reception banquet?"
"Forget it, I, I have something to do."
"Oh, the inheritor?"
"Stop calling, if it were you, the seat was snatched away, could you still greet me with a smile?"
"That's right. However, I heard that General Gu came from a wealthy family and was the direct descendant of the Gu family in Nancheng. Do you think General Gu will have the Gu family's hands in it?"
"You can also post this kind of complaint? It's almost the same if it was Cao Chengren!"
"Hahaha……"
"Bang--"
At a corner next door, the porcelain cup was suddenly crushed.
...
...
Three years and three years, almost ten years have passed in a flash. Under some blank life trajectory, Cao Chengren did not participate in the original country's demigod training plan, and miraculously promoted from a legend to a demigod.
"Congratulations, General Cao, even in the history of the navy, your promotion speed is probably in the top ten."
"You've been awarded."
Relying on the noble position of the demigod, Cao Chengren finally became the head of the Ordnance Division and ranked in the sixth Division in the next year.
"General Cao is also a demigod now. In this way, there is probably only one left in the entire Six Secretariat, who will become the leader of the Six Secretariat as a legendary person."
"It's just a good family."
"Don't say that." Cao Chengren smiled implicitly: "We can see General Gu's efforts. Come and drink."
"Yes, drink!"
You must be happy when you are in a happy life, and don’t let the golden cup face the moon empty.
...
...
"Big Event!"
"What big event?"
"General Gu has been promoted to demigod!"
"Hiss-" Some guy gasped: "I remember, General Gu is just forty this year, right?"
"Yes, this seems to be the fastest record of being promoted to a demigod since the founding of the original state."
"It's so scary!"
Cao Chengren stood at the door of the office, his fists slightly turned pale.
...
...
The Executive Yuan and the Privy Council at the inauguration ceremony of the Admiralty.
“…Appoint Gu Xiao as the deputy commander of the Navy!”
...
...
"Bang--"
A stack of thick documents was still on Cao Chengren's face by Gu Xiao.
"Cao Chengren, is this the Ordnance Department you manage? The Statistics Department went on a random check. Nearly half of the new ships in the Huinan Shipyard this year's new ships were not of the quality. Do you know that some of them are used as transport ships!"
"Chief Gu." The latter's eyes turned red, but he lowered his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "The new ships this year were greeted by the sect of Dean Huyan's belonging to..."
"I don't care who He is, even if it is Tianyuan Qishui, I have to follow the rules of the Navy!"
"Chief Gu, if you have the Gu family to support you, you will naturally not be afraid of others' pressure, but not everyone in the Admiralty Department has an old Gu family behind you!"
"Cao Chengren, I tell you, don't put any background on your own. If you can't hold on, you can choose to resign!"
"you--"
This was probably the only time the two confronted each other, and then Cao Chengren slammed the door and left.
...
...
In the dimly lit room, Cao Chengren lifted the floor, took away the bricks and stones, and then carried out an old woman who looked like a corpse from the soil.
While tidying up the sand on the old woman's body, He made a basin of water, and then washed the abscesses and stench on the old woman's body bit by bit with a towel. He could vaguely see the light blue corpse spots on the waxy cheeks.
"Aunt, why do you think that bastard Gu Xiaoze always goes against me? He has been relying on his famous family soon. If we change our identities, I believe I will do better than Him..."
Cao Chengren seemed to be muttering to himself, muttering to the mummy for a long time, until the sky completely darkened, and he woke up like a dream: "By the way, I forgot to get you something to eat."
He returned to the place where the old woman had just dug out, cut off an arm-sized tree stump from the soil, then took an empty bowl, poured some water, and finally scraped it gently on the stump with his hands. A large amount of powder fell into the bowl, and melted when it encountered water, turning into a pot of dark brown soup.
Cao Chengren picked up the hot pot spoon and began to feed the mummy bite by bit.
With a bowl of unknown liquid overtaken, a rare rosy appearance appeared on the old woman's yellow face, and the eyes that looked like a dead fish seemed to have a slight shine.
"Aunt, why did Gu Xiaoze practice so quickly? You once said that I had the destiny of a great king and might have been a high-ranking legendary creature in my previous life, so I was able to become a demigod in less than a hundred years. But why did He Gu Xiaoze step on me? Is He a member of the Gu family in Dongcheng?"
"Um?"
The old woman clearly had no words, but Cao Chengren was listening, as if she was collecting some kind of ultrasound.
After a while, Cao Chengren seemed to hear something terrible, and his face changed slightly.
"He...is it really possible for him? How, how is it possible?"
“…”
"You're just suspicious? You just smelled something?"
“…”
Cao Chengren was silent for a moment, and suddenly murmured to himself, saying intermittently: "Do you want to try Him? Use the flesh and blood reincarnation sacrificial technique. You didn't say that this technique involves a lot, even... Well, I understand, for example, start from the people around him and see if He is..."
"Boom..."
To be continued...
