When the male protagonist of the invincible novel meets the overbearing president

He looked at the two handsome men in front of him who looked extraordinary, and couldn't help but marvel at their beauty.

At this time, Lu Yanxu had long lost the ruffian look he had when he was with Mr. Wang, and was sitting seriously and upright.

Tang Qi still maintained his elegant and dignified demeanor. He brewed a cup of tea as usual and gently placed it in front of Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Wang, same as always. Still peach blossom tea, drink it quickly."

Mr. Wang smiled and sipped a cup of tea. It was sweet and mellow, and the sweet taste captured his taste buds.

"Comfortable~ Even if I go down, I will never forget this taste. It is more intoxicating than alcohol--"

Lu Yanxu showed impatience again, and as usual, Mr. Wang stopped keeping him in suspense after seeing his expression.

"You guys, you are indeed cultivators. You can even know this... Did you use some magic that can read people's minds? For example..."

Seeing him talking about this and that, Lu Yanxu couldn't help but interrupt. It wasn't that he was impatient, but he really wanted to know the story behind Mr. Wang.

"Alright, I just noticed something was wrong. Even though we are cultivators, we won't pry into our friends' secrets."

When he said this, Mr. Wang was stunned, and then he burst into laughter!

"I see. I thought that immortal cultivators were just as profit-seeking as mortals! It seems that I was mistaken. Since you want to hear it, then I, the old man, will tell you."

He finally returned to the main topic, but perhaps because he was thinking about the content that was to follow, he no longer had that calm demeanor.

His behavior now matches his current appearance, which is old, aged, helpless, and with a hint of relief.

He suddenly laughed, as if mocking, but also as if... blaming himself.

“This is actually a very boring story…”

"Fifty-nine years ago, an ordinary young man from Qingshi Town came of age. He had just completed his coming-of-age ceremony when he received bad news. The imperial court was recruiting soldiers."

"Back then, a policy of selection was implemented, selecting some adults from marginalized areas to join the army. And he happened to be one of those selected."

"Similarly unlucky was his classmate, his best friend who had studied with him for a year and dropped out of school with him - Ma Tianxing."

"Ma Tianxing, what can I say about this guy? He has a handsome face, but his thoughts are too beautiful. Even though the boy has been with his best friend for such a long time, he is still not used to his simple character. In short, in his world, it seems that nothing is bad."

"For him, joining the army is a good thing, at least he can serve the country. How can this be considered normal? People like them who have no experience at all and are the poorest people will be the lowest-level pawns on the battlefield. Cannon fodders go to the battlefield. Do they have any hope of survival?"

"But the friend was happy. He thought that even if they were just a small bird that didn't know the immensity of the world, as long as what they did was to serve the motherland, then this would be a matter of honor for the family. This was obviously a great joyous event, and he was willing to die even if it meant death."

"What a good person... During the process of joining the army, the boy was extremely uncomfortable. The strict military regulations, high-intensity training, and the officers and soldiers' indifference to other people's humanity. All of this made him extremely panic and afraid. He was an understanding person. But sometimes, being too understanding is not necessarily a good thing."

"During this period, his friend turned a blind eye to these sufferings and maintained the attitude of a good guy every day. He was always responsive to officers and helpful to his colleagues. Not to mention his best friend who grew up together. The boy had advised his friend to stop his stupid behavior more than once, but his friend never changed. This is definitely not a good sign."

"Finally, the boy's premonition came true. Not long after the war started, they were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder because of the battle plan formulated by General Chang Weijun. They didn't even have more than half a month of training. They fought to the death that time, always hovering on the line between life and death. Fortunately, they did not die."

"But the second time, they were not so lucky. The boy saved his life with the help of his friend, but his friend also lost an arm. But he still didn't care. He smiled and said to him: 'Don't be sad, my ideal in this life is to fight for my country. You know that.'"

"Yes, it is precisely because the boy knows that he feels sorry for him. The boy is actually quite smart and likes to study national affairs. He actually knew very early that they don't need to go to the battlefield. With the country's military strength, they only need to send well-trained soldiers to the battlefield. These powerless civilians can only be cannon fodder."

"They are just weeds that are everywhere, and they are just fuel added when burning."

"They would definitely die, that's what the boy thought at the time. Facts have proved that if the war lasted a little longer, they would definitely both die on the battlefield. However, the boy was lucky, he survived..."

When Mr. Wang said this, he was no longer calm. His voice couldn't help but tremble and sob, but it was as if to make his ending more perfect.

He suppressed his anger and continued:

"The price was that the boy's best friend stayed there forever. All that could come back were the pale ashes, not even a complete body..."

"He tried his best to protect the boy, but he himself was covered with wounds. It was not until then that the boy realized that his friend had been hiding so deeply. He actually knew what the court was like all along, but he didn't care. What he wanted to protect was the people of this country, not the court."

"Before, he had such a grand ambition, but now, the only person he wants to protect is me! What a pity... He originally had such a great ideal, but because of a forced conscription, he was hanged early..."

"Before he died, he kept telling me: 'You have to live, add me to yours, and live happily and contentedly...' His body was already bloody and mangled. He had lost an arm before, and now a leg. The tattered pieces of flesh hung on his body. He now looked like a demon that had just crawled out of hell. This was in stark contrast to his sunny and fair appearance when he went to war."

"But I don't find him scary at all. He is so kind and bright..."

"The boy knew that his friend was giving him hope to live. He knew his own character, and so did the boy know his."

Having said this, Wang Laoye drank the peach blossom tea in the cup without any feeling of pity.

He stood up, turned his back to the two of them, and continued to tell his story:

"So the boy returned home with his friend. The rest of his life was just as his friend had said. He got married and had children. He had a filial son and daughter. He had enough wealth to support his descendants for several lifetimes, and his family was harmonious and happy... Now, he had arranged everything for his children and family. Everything was fine, and it was time for the boy to go find his friend to fulfill his promise!"

At the end, Mr. Wang spoke in a powerful tone. Perhaps thinking that he could finally see his good friend, a dazzling smile bloomed on his face.

Even though he had his back to them, Tang Qi and Lu Yanxu could imagine Mr. Wang's passionate mood and joy of finally being free.

People from all over the country are praising Mr. Wang for his filial piety and diligence. How hard he works, how lucky he is, and what a good son, father, and grandfather he is...

But in fact, they don’t know that these glamorous appearances are the result of Mr. Wang’s struggle to carry out his good friend’s last wish and mission.

This is also all that Lu Yanxu and Tang Qi have felt from their interactions with Mr. Wang over the years.

He is lucky, but also unlucky.

But as Tang Qi looked at Mr. Wang's firm steps, he suddenly realized that all this was meaningless.

As long as Mr. Wang feels lucky, that's enough. And he believes that Mr. Wang feels that he is the luckiest person in the world!

Before Mr. Wang left, Tang Qi asked:

"Has he... always been unknown to the world?"

“…Never…”

--------

When I wrote about people like Mr. Wang and his friends, they felt unreal, but I think such people really exist in the world.

One of them is a little smart and can see the situation clearly. A little selfish, but... you all know. The other is selfless, only for the people, not limited or defeated by reality, and can sacrifice his life for his friends.

Just like the heroes of the previous War of Resistance, there will never be a shortage of patriotic soldiers in war.

However, this side quest is just about comradeship.

The one above is just for the people, not for the court. It is actually a small foreshadowing and part of the ending of the copy.
