Xiangdong stood respectfully in front of the old general, looking at his increasingly white hair and his pale face, he felt sad. He hadn't seen the old general for a few days, and he had aged so much. It was all his fault, he had let the old general down.

"Alright, alright, I'm still alive and well, don't act like you're dying, it's annoying." The old general still spoke in a bandit-like manner, but his tone was obviously not as vigorous as before.

Xiangdong knew the old general's temper very well, and he was the most unwilling to accept his old age, so he hid his worries in his heart. He said to the old general: "General, how did you think of assigning them to me? They are doing well in the army. It is not appropriate to assign them here."

"Those guys have long wanted to quit the military. I just went with the flow. Assigning them to your place will not only give them a place to go, but also solve your manpower problem. Kill two birds with one stone." The old general took the teacup and drank it intermittently. Then he sighed deeply: "Alas, the military is no longer the same as before." When he thought of the rotten things in the military, the old general frowned tightly.

Xiangdong had never seen the old general like this before. In his impression, the old general always looked like he could hold up the sky with one hand, but now the military affairs alone could make the old general so anxious. But he didn't know how to comfort the old general, so he just said dryly: "General, don't worry too much."

The old general looked at him unhappily and said: "I don't have to worry. I carefully selected you and cultivated you step by step. I was counting on you to help me, but who would have thought that you are a person who only loves beauty and not the country...what is it?" The old general suddenly couldn't think of the adjective, so he looked at the monkey.

The monkey quickly replied: "Lecher!"

"Yes, lecher!" The old general shouted, then came to his senses and glared at the monkey: "Bah, how can you talk like that?"

The monkey laughed dryly. He didn't know more than the old general. The old general suddenly asked him this, and it was good that he could think of this word.

Xiangdong glanced at the monkey, and the monkey smiled at him flatteringly, "Boss, you are a great man and don't hold grudges. I was wrong, I was really wrong...

" "General, I'm sorry, I failed your expectations." Although Xiangdong said that he did not regret saving Li Xue at all costs, he still felt guilty about some of the consequences he caused, especially to the old general. He owed the old general too much.

"What's the point of saying sorry?" The old general glared at him and put down the cup in his hand. "I met that girl named Li Xue. I met her at the commendation meeting that day. She looks like a simple girl. Since you can give up everything for her, then seize the opportunity." The old general met Li Xue at the commendation meeting. At that time, he was angry about Xiangdong's matter, so he naturally had nothing good to say to Li Xue. But thinking back, the girl actually did nothing wrong. He was completely angry.

Xiangdong nodded: "I will try my best."

"The mercenary corps already has enough manpower, so let's quickly build up the team. Make a name for ourselves earlier, so that people won't say that I was short-sighted and chose someone like you who doesn't want to make progress as my successor... cough cough cough..." The old general suddenly started coughing, and the coughing became more and more severe, and his face turned red in a few coughs.

Xiangdong and Monkey were startled, and hurried forward to pat the old general on the back. The old general coughed for a long time before he stopped, and leaned weakly on the chair, seeming to be in worse spirits than before. "Oh, I'm really old, really old..." the old general sighed in a dragging voice.

The monkey joked: "General, you are still strong despite your age. With your physique, we are no match for you."

The old general laughed and said, "Back then, I couldn't defeat a platoon of you. But now it's not the same. I just can't accept my age."

Xiangdong had never seen the old general like this before, and he was very worried: "General, let others handle the military affairs. Your health is important, take some time to recuperate."

"I really don't want to step down. The longer I sit in that position, the more people hate me. But the military is in a mess now. If I step down now, can Dong Dahai take charge of such a big military? Wait a little longer. When I find a suitable person to take over the military, I can have some free time." The old general was also powerless about the current military. When Xiangdong was there, he could relax a little. After Xiangdong left, the newly promoted Dong Dahai was completely at a loss. He only knew how to fight for power. How could he safely hand over the military to such a person?

Xiangdong didn't know how to comfort the old general, so he could only advise him to pay more attention to his health and rest more.

The old general waved his hands: "Okay, I got it. It's getting late, you guys go back. Don't worry about me, I'm in good health, just come and see me when you have time, don't take those things in the future, they are useless and a waste of crystal cores." The old general pointed to the things that Xiangdong and his friends brought.

Xiangdong nodded, stood up and said to the old general: "General, then we will go back, take care of yourself. I will come to see you as soon as I am free."

"Okay, go back."

After leaving the old general, Xiangdong was silent all the way. The old general's physical condition is really bad. He is so old, but he still has to work so hard for the military. I'm really worried that he will not be able to bear it one day.

The two returned to their residence, **** they had already settled themselves.

"Boss, is the general in good health?" **** Several people were very worried about the old general's health.

"It doesn't look like a big problem at the moment, but he is old after all. If he keeps working so hard, I'm afraid..." Xiangdong frowned.

After saying this, everyone felt a little relieved.

"Boss, when are we going to register the mercenary corps? The general has been urging you to set up the mercenary corps as soon as possible." Monkey said expectantly. "

That's right, boss, let's set up the mercenary corps as soon as possible! That way we can go on missions as soon as possible. In the past, when I was in the military, I didn't have much chance to go out of the base to do missions." Su Hao couldn't wait to say, he really envied those mercenaries who could travel around the world.

"It's too late today, let's go tomorrow! When we're done registering, we'll take a mission to practice." Xiangdong looked at the sky and said to the others.

"Okay!" They all shouted.

"By the way, Boss, what should we call our mercenary team? We have to come up with a domineering team name." Sun Xiaolei thought of this.

Uh... what should we call it?
