Eight hundred and eighth chapter fear deterrence
Chu Fan did not dare to look at the two heads. He suppressed the shock and confusion in his heart, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Lieutenant General Zhang, for upholding justice. Skeleton City is willing to be harmonious with the king's capital forever."
"Eternal cultivation of harmony? Well..." Zhang Gongbo nodded with a smile, with a little deep expression in his eyes, and exclaimed, "Mr. Chu is really the righteousness of the country. He knows that he must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. Now ferocious beasts are rampant in the territory, and there are federations in the southeastern areas. As the highest executors of the two major forces in the north, if we cannot live in harmony, the northern territory will be in turmoil."
Chu Fan humbly echoed: "What General Zhang said is very true, but I want to correct it. Chu is only temporarily in charge of the death row camp, and the actual person in charge is still Colonel Luo You."
"Then do you want to replace him?" Abruptly, Zhang Gongbo took advantage of the situation and said this terrifying sentence to Chu Fan. Chu Fan raised his head in shock and saw Zhang Gongbo's smiling eyes. This was a trap that had been arranged long ago!
Zhang Gongbo did not give Chu Fan a chance to breathe. He punched his chest with his fist and said heartbrokenly: "Who is Luo You? To put it nicely, the tiger in the south of the Yangtze River. To put it bluntly, the bastard from the wilderness was born in a lowly civilian family. He had a dirty life experience and a poor bloodline. In the capital, the speaker frowned."
Zhang Gongbo leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, are you a bastard?"
Chu Fan swallowed his throat and looked at Zhang Gongbo with difficulty. After a long time, he said hard: "I'm not."
"Of course not! In my eyes, you are a real man. If you were not framed by a villain, you are from a military academy. Now even if you are not on par with me, you are at least an important official of the country." Zhang Gongbo's fingers were jumping regularly on the table, as if he had knocked out a certain rhythm. If you listen carefully, you would easily find that "Power" is very popular among the officers of the capital. "You are not a bastard, but now you are ridden by a bastard. Tell me, during the time when Luo You left and you took over the death camp, will your subordinates obey you?"
Chu Fan replaced the answer with silence.
Zhang Gongbo said slowly: "The answer must be no, because your name is not right and your words are not right. Mr. Chu Fan, why not look at your shoulders."
Zhang Gongbo's words seemed to have some magic, which prompted Chu Fan to subconsciously look at his shoulders. He was wearing a grand military uniform today, but there was no military rank on his shoulders. This is not surprising. The death row camp is not under the regular army organization. Except for the real manager, the soldiers below have no military ranks.
Zhang Gongbo continued: "In the eyes of your subordinates, you are the same as their identities. You are just a mud-legged person who was demoted to the death row camp. Not only does your subordinates not admit it, but the official does not admit it. Even if one day you die gloriously on the battlefield, you will not even be buried as a martyr! But today..."
When Zhang Gongbo said this, his hand was slightly raised, and four fingers except for his thumb jumped past the table. As soon as the sound fell, a document was handed to Chu Fan by the waiter.
"According to the imperial military order, I have asked the Chang'an Central Committee to rehabilitate the unjust case, and also granted the honorary master of military academy Chu Fan as the imperial colonel, and promoted to the Central Guard Army to the world!"
Every word and even every word of Zhang Gongbo was as vivid as thunder, and everything was heard by Chu Fan in his dream. He stared blankly at the document in front of him with several heavyweight military seals, and lost his mind for a moment.
At Zhang Gongbo's instructions, a pen and a box of ink paste were placed in front of Chu Fan, and his voice also came: "The whole document is only limited to your signature and handprint. Sign it, and click it. When you enter the door, you are a death row prisoner in Skeleton City, and when you go out, you are a colonel of the Central Guard Army."
The unimaginable temptation has made Chu Fan subconsciously sign his name. It has nothing to do with his own wishes and is completely a subconscious behavior in the brain.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Fan pressed the red ink with his finger. I don’t know if the cold touch from the finger brought him back to reality. At the moment when he was about to draw, his finger stopped five centimeters from the file.
Chu Fan put his trembling hands under the table, raised his head, and said with a cold sweat on his face: "What do I need to give you?"
"No need to give me anything, just help me do one thing." Zhang Gongbo gave the second document with a smile, saying, "Luo You puts you on the official military seal, it's that simple."
Chu Fan took the document and took a look. His consciousness was like five thunderstorms. This document was not long, but in the final analysis, it meant that the death row camp gave up its right to recruit soldiers in the northern border.
For a moment, two different scenes unfolded in Chu Fan's mind, and even formed an illusion-like picture in front of his eyes, so real and clear.
Both scenes describe Chu Fan's future. The first is that Chu Fan, who became a colonel, became a strong spirit in the Central Guard Army and became the backbone of the Imperial Army. He galloped on the battlefield to make achievements, reported to the country, and safeguarded the people. Finally, he was rewarded with merits in protecting the country and was promoted to a general, returned home in glory, and found a childhood sweetheart whom he could never forget when he saw him in his childhood, and he hugged the beauty.
The second scene, when Chu Fan returned to his mansion to rest on the day of taking office, a chill surged by, and then opened his eyes. The room was filled with scarlet matter, ceiling, floor, wall, bed, desk... The whole room was covered with scarlet matter, with hundreds of pairs of scarlet eyes open on it. Luo You and Scia stood beside the bed, one holding a red umbrella, the other holding a blood prison, and looking at him with the dense eyes.
At this moment, Chu Fan felt as if something was defeated in his consciousness. Endless fear hit every cell in his body like a torrent. He rushed out the two documents together, stood up, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Sorry... Lieutenant General Zhang, I can't betray the colonel."
"You are not loyal, you are fearful." Zhang Gongbo reorganized the messed up documents and looked at Chu Fan with a smile, as if he saw through his heart. "You are just simply afraid of Luo You's revenge, rather than being loyal to him wholeheartedly."
Chu Fan lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Zhang Gongbo's words were a bit tempting: "Think about it carefully? As long as you are willing to cooperate, we can not only recover the military recruitment power of the death row camp, but also find an opportunity to deprive Luo You of his military rank. Recently, the wilderness forces have risen, and the second wilderness purge has begun. As long as he is also included in the list of purges, the scene that scares you just now will not happen."
Chu Fan gritted his teeth and tried so hard that he squeezed all his gums out of bleeding. But for a while, he still shook his head firmly and said tremblingly: "I can't obey my fate... Lt. General Zhang, it's not too early, I should take my leave. When I heard what I saw today, I wouldn't say anything."
"Wait a minute." Just as Chu Fan was about to leave the seat with his deputy, Zhang Gongbo's call came. The lieutenant general of the capital stood up from his seat, supported the table with both hands, and appeared in his eyes with a sharp look as always. He smiled and said, "Treat exchange, I gave you two heads, don't you plan to give me two as a gift for a return?"
