Chapter 57 The Other Side of the God of War

The three thousand soldiers saluted Chu Feng in unison, and proceeded to leave. At this moment, Luo Gang came up and said a little sheepishly, “Feng, the commander of our military theater, who is also my commanding officer, said that he’d like to meet you. You see…”

“Alright.” Chu Feng nodded; since the Jiangling military theater provided him with some help this time around, meeting the commander seemed reasonable.

Shortly after, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary military uniform stepped forward from among the soldiers. Although his figure was somewhat round, he still had an air of superiority about him. He was none other than the first-in-command of the Jiangling military theater, Jiang Yi.

“Dragon Head, please excuse me… I have blended into this group of soldiers in order to not disturb you. My apologies…” Jiang Yi looked at Chu Feng with excitement, but maintained caution all the same.

The Dragon Soul’s God of War was unparalleled in the nation, and he was the unanimous belief of Donghua’s citizens. Jiang Yi had long since heard of Chu Feng’s prestigious and widespread name, however he didn’t have the right qualifications to meet him before this; now that he could, he was naturally very excited.

Chu Feng gave a simple smile without any pretense and reached out to shake Jiang Yi’s hand firmly, “Commander Jiang, many thanks for today. This favor, I will definitely remember it.” He was not an ungrateful person; he knew how to return grievances with grievances and also knew when to return favors with favors, thus considered himself a righteous and upright man.

Jiang Yi was waving his arms around, feeling flattered. “You flatter me too much, Dragon Head. It was my honor to be of use and serve you, Dragon Head.” Although Jiang Yi held some influence and authority within Jiangling, he still dared not disrespect and behave presumptuously in front of the God of War.

In other words, the matters that happened this day seemed like he was lending Chu Feng a hand, but in reality Chu Feng was already giving the commander some face by not raising a ruckus. Without a doubt, with this person’s influence and reach, he could easily turn Jiangling upside down in a matter of minutes, so an insignificant character like Li Ziyang was not even worth mentioning, and Jiang Yi was very clear about this matter.

With Luo Gang’s introduction, Chu Feng was slowly warming up and getting to know Jiang Yi. Although he was someone who held a high ranking position, he did not behave rampantly or have the hypocrisy of the normal politicians, thus Chu Feng quickly grew comfortable with him.

“Dragon Head, it’s getting quite late and it’s already five in the evening right now, could you perhaps let me, as a subordinate to host you and show some sincerity—” Jiang Yi was rather excited with the prospects of being able to invite Chu Feng to a dinner banquet. If he could invite this great god to his banquet, his reputation in the military would definitely shoot up. Who would dare underestimate him in the future?

However, Chu Feng who was standing in front of him froze suddenly and gasped, “Sh*t, my daughter’s kindergarten ends at half past five. I almost forgot about it! We will talk about the dinner banquet next time.” He hurriedly threw those words while waving his hands, and like a gust of wind, he quickly picked up a public bicycle on the roadside and began to pedal furiously like his life depended on it. He did not forget to shout at Luo Gang as he hurried away, “Luo Gang, remember to pay for this rented bicycle. I will buy you drinks next time…”

Jiang Yi was left dumbfounded as he gazed at the leaving figure of Chu Feng who was pedalling hastily away from them. Was this still the same person as before? The immovable, unrelenting and unyielding, Dragon Soul’s God of War who decided the lives and deaths of people? The change of his attitude was indeed very shocking!

Luo Gang who was next to him chuckled. “Boss, I bet you have never seen this ordinary side of the Dragon Head? Hehe, at this moment, any matters regarding his daughter will be of top priority. Even if the world ends, it will not be as important as his daughter’s smallest matters.” He smiled, his expression was one of understanding and sincere of respect. “Whether it is in common matters or military matters, he is the most respected Dragon Soul’s God of War, someone who’s respected by everyone in the military. This is without a doubt!”

“So the Dragon Head really is quite the affectionate person. I don’t know when it would be possible for me to be like the Dragon Head and spend time with my children…” Jiang Yi said with a voice full of emotion as he nodded his head, watching the back of Chu Feng who was pedalling away.

Jiang Yi was being emotional, when a sharp piercing remark came cutting in from Luo Gang who commented, “Boss, if I recall, you don’t even have a wife? Where would your children come from?”

Jiang Yi’s lips twitched, and he could hear a crack as if it was the sound of his heart breaking…

Luo Gang guffawed as he slapped his own thighs repeatedly, his body rocking back and forth joyfully. “Hahahaha… You, this dusty old bachelor, are also trying to be emotional and warm-hearted? Boss, you’re being hilarious!”

Jiang Yi’s face darkened as he turned around and faced Luo Gang and said, “Our military theater’s pigsty is still lacking a pig breeder. Starting from tomorrow, you will be raising pigs.”

Luo Gang was baffled; all of the sudden, the joke was on him.
