Mo Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Are you talking about Lu Zhengjun, the king of soldiers in our army?!"
He didn't even pant, and his eyes widened slightly.
Seeing Liu Dekai nod, Mo Cheng seemed to want to laugh, but then felt it wasn't appropriate. He glanced at Liu Dekai, who looked completely bewildered, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Liu Dekai's injuries were actually inflicted by Lu Zhengjun.
No wonder.
Although Liu Dekai's skills are not top-notch, they are still quite good. At least Mo Cheng personally tested him and found him to be a capable fighter on missions.
Since Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou confirmed their relationship, his status in the army has risen accordingly. Although he went on missions frequently afterward, partly due to Mo Cheng's influence, if he were an incompetent fool, he would have been eliminated long ago.
He has some skills, but that's all.
He has someone to mentor him and give him opportunities, so he can make a lot of military achievements. It's not difficult for him to get promoted, and becoming a battalion commander in the future is not a problem. But if he gets promoted further, he will have to rely on himself.
After all, there are actually some soldiers in the army with his qualifications, but most of them don't have the opportunity to fully demonstrate their abilities.
He's only been in the army for three years; with proper training, he still has a bright future.
At least Mo Cheng seems to have a pretty good opinion of Liu Dekai.
"Uncle Mo, is there something wrong?" Liu Dekai asked tentatively.
Mo Cheng stopped being mysterious and said directly, "Xiao Liu, Lu Tuan isn't that kind of person. If you don't have to, don't mess with him. He won't pay any attention to you unless you provoke him."
Liu Dekai was speechless for a moment. Mo Cheng's attitude made him unsure how to continue.
Even though Mo Cheng was still angry when Lu Zhengjun's name wasn't mentioned, his expression changed immediately upon hearing it was Lu Zhengjun, and he even started speaking in his favor.
He's just a regimental commander, still subordinate to the brigade commander. Why is Mo Cheng acting this way?
Could it be... that Lu Zhengjun has someone backing her?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mo Cheng coughed twice and said seriously, "Lu Tuan just returned to the unit after a long mission. He shouldn't know anything. Why does he want to spar with you?"
"I don't know either. I'm also very confused. He seems to know me?"
Liu Dekai spoke slowly, then looked up at Mo Cheng and asked cautiously, "Uncle Mo, although Commander Lu has the title of 'King of Soldiers,' it was only because the soldiers elected him. It doesn't mean anything. As a regimental commander, how could he possibly surpass you?"
Can't we get past him?
I'm afraid some division commanders would personally greet Lu Zhengjun if they saw him, let alone a mere brigade commander like him...
There are too many twists and turns involved, and it's not appropriate for Liu Dekai to know right now. Mo Cheng picked up his large porcelain jar, symbolically blew on it, and ended up drinking cold water.
His demeanor clearly indicated that he didn't want to get involved.
Liu Dekai was somewhat unwilling to swallow this insult, but if the other party had a powerful background, so powerful that even Mo Cheng had to give way, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
Determined to die knowing the truth, Liu Dekai brazenly asked, "Uncle Mo, what's the background of this Commander Lu? Does his family have a military background?"
Nowadays, there are quite a few military personnel with a revolutionary background. It was some of these people who made Liu Dekai realize that if he were just a nobody with no background, he would probably have to wait another ten years or so to be promoted to deputy battalion commander.
After all, with so many soldiers, starting from the bottom, why would a leader suddenly pay attention to you?
They didn't even have a chance to show their abilities, let alone make any contributions.
People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill; this is an unchanging law since ancient times.
Liu Dekai stared intently at Mo Cheng, eager to know Lu Zhengjun's background.
Although the two are of similar age, Liu Dekai is inferior in every way, whether in height, appearance, position, or skill.
He was naturally resentful.
He used to be just a young man from a poor mountain village. When he first joined the army, he felt like he was nothing and was not so arrogant.
But ever since he met Mo Youyou, he realized the benefits of having a powerful backer and reaped the advantages from it. He became the envy and attention of many people and a prominent figure in the military region. When he saw Lu Zhengjun again, he felt a strange jealousy.
If Lu Zhengjun had such a background, even Mo Cheng would have to give way to her, then that would explain why Lu Zhengjun was promoted so quickly.
Mo Cheng heard Liu Dekai's words and seemed about to say something, but then shut his mouth, his facial expression somewhat strange.
"Sigh, from now on, try not to get into conflicts with Lu Tuan and try to avoid him."
"Alright, you can go back now."
Mo Cheng stopped there, waved his hand, lowered his head, and continued reading the newspaper in his hand, clearly intending to see the guest out.
Liu Dekai immediately understood.
There must be someone behind Lu Zhengjun, and their background is even more powerful than Mo Cheng's, and they should be much more severely injured.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be in his character for him to remain indifferent after Liu Dekai, his prospective son-in-law, has been beaten like this.
So, what position is his/her superior?
Division commander? Army commander? Or...?
