One Piece: Justice Lasts

Chapter 25 The defecting naval colonel

&a;nbThis is the third time Lu Xuan has visited the Chu family and entered Mr. Chu's study since he was discharged from the army.

&a;nbThe first time I just came back happened to be the old man's birthday party. I gave him a token of love for his long-lost wife, and discussed the important matter of marriage with Chu Luoyan, so I entered the study.

&a;nbAfter the news came out for the second time that the powers of the special forces would be changed, the old man immediately called Lu Xuan over to finish the meal urgently. He revealed the news in the study and asked Lu Xuan to prepare.

&a;nbThe third time, this time, is probably closely related to the changes in the powers of the special forces.

&a;nbHowever, Lu Xuan knew that when Mr. Chu called him over this time, the content of the conversation between the two people would be more serious than last time, and it would involve a wider range of things.

&a;nb "Sit down." After entering the study, Mr. Chu ordered calmly.

&a;nb Lu Xuan nodded and sat down next to the chair where the old man often sat.

&a;nb Lu Xuan entered Mr. Chu's study for the third time. Every time he came in, he had different feelings in his heart. But what persisted was that every time he saw such a simple study room and simple utensils, he couldn't help but admire Mr. Chu's noble character and integrity. road.

&a;nb "Let's make some tea, let's talk while we drink." Mr. Chu ordered calmly after sitting down.

&a;nb Lu Xuan nodded and started to fill the kettle with water, then turned on the electricity to boil water and clean the tea set.

&a;nbThe tea Mr. Chu drank was not too expensive, it was just low-grade tea worth a few hundred yuan. It was too expensive for him to bear to buy.

&a;nbThose teas that cost thousands of yuan per catty are usually reluctant to drink and are treasured instead.

&a;nbMr. Chu would always feel distressed when he looked at tea worth several thousand yuan per pound. He couldn't help but think of those prosperous years decades ago. At that time, the Chu family had not yet become rich, and China was not as rich as it is now. It’s a collective situation, and it’s really difficult to have enough to eat.

&a;nb Mr. Chu would only take out those thousands of yuan worth of tea when his old friends came to visit, and then drink it with them to share the good things after the hard days.

&a;nb "Grandpa Chu drinks tea."

&a;nb Lu Xuan made tea, poured a cup for Mr. Chu, and then gave a faint reminder.

&a;nbMr. Chu nodded, picked up the tea cup and blew a few breaths, then slowly tasted it.

&a;nb After a cup of tea was in his stomach, Lu Xuan filled another cup for him.

&a;nb He picked up the second cup of tea and blew it in front of him. Mr. Chu said slowly: "You must have guessed why I asked you to come here. In fact, old man, I don't want anything with you." I just want to ask you, how confident are you that you can defend your title as Captain of the Xuanyuan Team during this military power change?"

&a;nb "Not much, but I will work hard and try my best. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will compete to the end." Lu Xuan looked serious and answered in a serious tone.

&a;nb Mr. Chu nodded, and then said: "It is a very good thing for young people to have goals and ambitions, but I want to know how your strength is recovering."

&a;nb "One-tenth, I am still far away from my heyday." Lu Xuan thought for a moment and replied calmly.

&a;nbIn fact, his current strength is not even one-tenth or one-fiftieth of what he was in his heyday.

&a;nb During his heyday, he had escaped from the realm of concentration and reached a new realm of "qi training". This is a realm that many of the current Concentration Mirror warriors are unaware of, and they all call it a new realm.

&a;nbThe gap between the warriors in the qi training realm and the concentrating mirror is as big as heaven and earth. However, even if they have just stepped into the qi training realm, even ten warriors at the ninth level of the concentrating realm are no match.

&a;nb At that time, Lu Xuan said without bragging that he could defeat fifty of his current selves at will, and he was expected to reach the realm of Taoist Master Qi Ji and others in this life.

&a;nbUnexpectedly, his strength suddenly dropped sharply, and now it has recovered to less than one-fiftieth.

&a;nb "Only one-tenth." After hearing this, Mr. Chu said with some surprise: "Then tell me the truth, how confident are you that you can defeat so many masters?"

&a;nb "First floor." Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged and he answered truthfully.

&a;nb "One floor, one floor." Mr. Chu couldn't help but murmured a few words in a low voice after listening to Lun Changzai, and then asked again: "The probability is too low, have you not considered giving up and competing for other positions? "

&a;nb "No. As I said just now, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." Lu Xuan replied firmly.

&a;nb "I understand." After hearing this, Mr. Chu just nodded lightly and replied without any further persuasion. He secretly supported Lu Xuan's choice by default.

&a;nb He picked up the tea, took a few sips again, and said slowly: "Originally, when the powers of the special forces were released last time, I thought it was just internal competition within the army. I didn't expect that even the wealthy and aristocratic families outside would send people out. Competition and difficulties are much greater than what we knew before. In the past, when they did not participate and caused trouble, our Chu family still had a strong say in the army. Now that all the heroes have joined forces, our role will be greatly weakened. "

&a;nb "It's okay, Grandpa Chu. The most important thing is to rely on myself. As long as I don't fall, everything is possible." Lu Xuan replied with a serious face and a firm tone.

&a;nb Mr. Chu nodded, and then added: "Although the role of our Chu family has been greatly weakened, I still represent the attitude of the Chu family to express to you that even if our Chu family is in a chaotic scene where all the heroes are together, The sound it makes is like a wave in the sea, and it will do its best to support you."

&a;nb "Thank you, Grandpa Chu." Lu Xuan nodded and said gratefully.

&a;nbMr. Chu picked up another cup of freshly poured tea, moistened his throat and said: "No matter what the outcome of your competition is, even if you fail and do not serve in other troops, we will not blame or hold you accountable. You are still the son-in-law recognized by our Chu family, and this will not change."

&a;nb "Thank you, Grandpa Chu. With the encouragement of people like you, no matter how hard and tired I am in the front, it will still be worth it." Lu Xuan replied with a heavy nod, and at the same time began to pour a new cup of tea for Mr. Chu.

&a;nb"I know that you have achieved such achievements at a young age, and you must not be treated like ordinary young people. You must know better than me what to do or what to pay attention to ahead, but I only have one request. I hope you can Do it." Mr. Chu said.

&a;nbWhen Lu Xuan heard this, he responded without thinking: "Grandpa Chu, please speak."

&a;nb "I have only one request, and that is that no matter what the outcome, you must come back alive. Understand," Mr. Chu ordered with a serious face and a solemn tone.

&a;nbYes, this is not a prayer or expectation, but a commanding tone, just like a superior commanding a subordinate.

&a;nb Lu Xuan felt endless bitterness in his heart when he heard this. Even he was not sure about this matter. After all, he was not God, so how could he predict those unknown things?

&a;nbHe thought for a while, and then said in a serious tone: "Grandpa Chu, I will try my best to do it."

&a;nb "Hey" Mr. Chu sighed softly. This breath came out of his mouth, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

&a;nb He also served as a special soldier with Grandpa Lu Xuan when he was young. He knew that becoming an ordinary special soldier also requires a very difficult selection process. Anyone who wants to be a soldier in the army can be promoted. of.

&a;nbA soldier has to go through many difficulties to transform into a special forces soldier. The process of transforming an ordinary special forces soldier into a member of the outstanding special forces soldiers is even more difficult, let alone becoming a member of the top troops.

&a;nbThe better the team, the more stringent and difficult the test will be. They have to go through the baptism of live ammunition and blood, and they can only enter if they are lucky enough to survive.

&a;nbAlthough Mr. Chu has never experienced the selection of captain of the Xuanyuan Team, he can imagine that if you want to become a king above ten thousand people, you must suffer a lot of bones in the process, and not everyone can guarantee to survive. Back.

&a;nbUnfortunately, dying in combat during actual combat drills, being killed by the enemy when going out to kill enemies are all common occurrences. Who can guarantee that he will always be the lucky one.

&a;nbAfter all, no one is the Lord of Hell who can control life and death.

&a;nb "Grandpa Chu, I will try my best to come back." Lu Xuan smiled slightly and assured Master Chu again.

&a;nb Mr. Chu came back to his senses, glared at Lu Xuan in an unusual manner, and angrily shouted: "What does it mean to do your best? It means a certain degree. Do you understand?"

&a;nb "I understand, Grandpa Chu." Lu Xuan nodded and replied.

&a;nbMr. Chu nodded, glanced at the teapot that had no more tea soup, and said calmly: "Continue making tea. I don't know why you kid can make tea that tastes so good."

&a;nb "Okay, Grandpa Chu likes to drink. I will make it for you every day after I come back." Lu Xuan smiled and said jokingly.

&a;nb "It's a deal. If you don't date me every day after you come back and marry Luo Yan, I will kick you to death for being an unfilial fellow." Mr. Chu said without hesitation.

&a;nbIn fact, they all understand that in the future, where they come from will depend on whether they can survive this selection.

&a;nbIn this case, it can also be said that they are yearning for each other to come back alive.

&a;nb Mr. Chu and Lu Xuan drank tea for a long time, almost three bottles of water, before waving his hand to indicate that Lu Xuan could go out. He read for a while and then went to rest.

&a;nb"Lu Xuan, finally came out."

&a;nb "It took me a long time to go in this time. It seems I talked a lot with grandpa."

&a;nb "What did grandpa tell you? Did he ask you when to marry Sister Luoyan?"

&a;nb As soon as Lu Xuan left Mr. Chu's study, Chu Ling and Chu Li rushed over and greeted him with a smile.

&a;nbIt can be seen from their timely appearance that these guys have been waiting here for a long time.

&a;nb "Yes, Grandpa Chu said that he missed me after not seeing me for a long time, so he kept asking me to talk to him." Lu Xuan smiled and answered perfunctorily.

&a;nbThey didn't originally want to know what Lu Xuan and the old man were talking about, but they wanted to go have a drink with him.

&a;nb "Let's go, let's go have a drink. We must not get drunk tonight." Chu Ling grabbed Lu Xuan's neck and said excitedly: "We haven't seen each other for such a long time. I miss you so much, brother." Okay. There were so many elders there just now and we couldn’t have enough fun. We’ll have to drink to our heart’s content later.”

&a;nb "That's right, that's right. We just met, so we have to get drunk before we go back."

&a;nb "As the saying goes, men's emotions are cultivated from the wine table."

&a;nb "Captain Lu, brother-in-law, you can't have stage fright tonight."

&a;nbChu Li, Chu Xing and Chu Long also followed suit with smiles.

&a;nb Lu Xuan nodded and said without refusal: "That's no problem. You have the wine and I have the story. Let's go."

&a;nbLu Xuan knows, and they also know that maybe this is the last farewell drink, so they will cherish the last time together.
