C296 After Three Rounds of Drinking

"Master, it has been a long time since we last met. Today, I would like to propose a toast to you!"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the Lo Gucheng picked up the wine and toasted Dou Tianlai from afar.

"En. " Dou Tianlai did not lose face this time. He raised his glass and took a light sip. Although his tone was still cold, it still gave some comfort to the Lo Gucheng.

"Emperor sent a letter saying that Gu City should temporarily put aside the border matters. When I returned and focused on comprehending the Innate realm, I was still thinking. . . After all, although I, the Lo Gucheng, am incapable and incapable, I am still thinking about who the Imperial Court will send to take over my position. I don't have much ability, but the position of the Great General. . . It's not something that anyone can do as they wish. If someone really comes. . . I will examine him properly and swear that I won't let him insult the reputation of Great Chu. It would be a disgrace to the reputation of the soldiers, however. . . In the end, he did not expect the Emperor to persuade his master to come out of the mountain personally. It seems like. . . I don't need to stay any longer, haha. "

After the Lo Gucheng smiled, he sighed and said, "It is really shameful to say so. I have already reached the Late Period of Attack Stopping Stage when Master left that year. Fifteen years have passed since then. I only broke through from the Late Period of Attack Stopping Stage to the peak of the Late Period of Attack Stopping Stage. Compared to Eldest Senior Brother, I'm only at the peak of the Late Period of Attack Stopping Stage. This achievement is far, far inferior. It has truly brought shame to my master. "

Fifteen years of time had only been exchanged for this little bit of breakthrough. This kind of situation was even worse for ordinary people. It was likely that they would also be depressed, and perhaps even be unable to recover from this setback. That was also something that was within reason. If it was any ordinary person, it would be the same. Moreover, Lo Gucheng was a person who had always been known as a genius in martial arts. At that time, people had concluded that his talent was not inferior to his senior brother's, and that his future achievements would even be above Meng Nantian's. Now that so many years had passed, the last few words had naturally been verified. Even if Meng Nantian was still alive, his reputation in the army might not necessarily be greater than the Lo Gucheng, which had the title of the First General. However, the first sentence related to aptitude. . .

There was no comparison anymore. Meng Nantian was only 45 years old when he was crowned as king in the first battle. It was easy to tell who was stronger and who was weaker.

Seeing that his interest had suddenly waned, everyone sighed and tried to persuade him, "General Lo, you don't have to belittle yourself. No one is perfect. General, your cultivation level may not be as high as your senior brother Meng Nantian. However, in terms of leadership ability, how many people in the Great Chu can be compared to you? "

"That's right. Ever since General Lo guarded the border, thirty thousand men from the Lonely Soul Legion have killed the Barbarian Army. In twenty years, our army has never lost a single battle. This achievement alone is enough to make General proud. "

The others also voiced their agreement. However, no matter how glib and glib their tongues were, they could never get rid of the loneliness on their faces. At this moment, Dou Tianlai spoke slowly. "What are you panicking for? Only by accumulating enough strength can you accumulate enough strength. "

Accumulation and accumulation! Just this sentence immediately filled Lo Gucheng's face with hope. He was so excited that his hand that was holding the cup trembled.

"Master. . . "

Lo Gucheng could not help but call out. Tears flowed out from the corner of his eyes. Dou Tianlai's heart finally softened when he saw this. He scolded softly, "He is almost fifty years old. What is he crying like? Quickly stop it with me!"

After he finished speaking, he secretly circulated his strength. Immediately, the tears at the corner of his eyes had already evaporated into nothingness before they had even truly fallen.

It was said to be a scolding, but everyone could hear the concern contained within. After all, he was his most prized disciple. Even though he knew that he was suspected of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, Dou Tianlai still could not be ruthless.

As the number one general of Great Chu, Lo Gucheng had led an army of a million soldiers for nearly twenty years. He shouldn't have behaved so badly, but after seeing his master, he couldn't help but lose control of himself. This was the reason why he lost control of himself.

In this world, no matter who it was, As for Lo Gucheng, there was a weakness to it. His teacher, Dou Tianlai, was undoubtedly his biggest weakness. Normally. . . No matter how strong he was, or how invincible he was. . . However, in front of Dou Tianlai, he always behaved like a child. It was because Dou Tianlai's achievements were too glorious, and the name of the Cloud Chasing Spear Saint was enough to make all the young men go crazy. Dou Tianlai was like a god in the hearts of martial artists, an untouchable sacred mountain of martial arts. This concept had long been deeply rooted in Lo Gucheng's mind.

How could Dou Tianlai not understand this point? That was why he resolutely left fifteen years ago. Otherwise, how could he have the Lo Gucheng's current achievements? It could be imagined that if he had not left back then. . . No matter how talented the Lo Gucheng, which had always lived under his shadow, would be, in the end, hidden by his brilliance, it would be difficult for it to become a great weapon.

"Now, it seems like my departure all those years ago. . . It was a very good decision. " Dou Tianlai muttered to himself in his heart, but after that. . . He had spent so many years and effort. In the end, if he was only doing it for someone else's disciple, he would destroy it in a fit of anger. How could all these years of hard work and feelings come back to him? Dou Tianlai hated that so-called black hand to the extreme in his heart. If Ou Yezi's analysis was true, then all of this was planned by that man. With such a vicious heart, he should be cut into a thousand pieces.

After a full meal, Lo Gucheng ordered the people to withdraw from the feast. Everyone immediately stopped laughing and their eyes became sharp. Since they had eaten their fill, it was naturally time to get down to business. Everyone could no longer be as casual as before.

"Since everyone has finished eating and drinking, it's time for us to get down to business. I wonder what everyone thinks?" The Lo Gucheng looked at Lin Qing and the others one by one. Finally, it fixed its gaze on Dou Tianlai and asked.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Dou Tianlai nodded his head indifferently and said, "That should be the case. "

"En, then disciple will get straight to the point. " Lo Gucheng said, "The Emperor sent a letter ten days ago. At that time, the letter only said to let Master temporarily preside over the overall situation. But seeing today, Fang Qi knew that the matter was not that simple. Otherwise, the Emperor would not have sent the four masters, Commander Lin and the Imperial Guards outside the tent that were no less than fifty thousand people. Although changing generals was not a small matter, especially in such a sensitive place like the border. A single mistake would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. But even so, I don't think that the Emperor would make such a big fuss, right? "

" The Emperor has always been smart and capable. Presumably, there must be a deeper meaning behind this action. It's just that my Lo Gucheng is an ordinary person and I am unable to understand the profoundness behind it. I wonder if Master and the various lords can give Gu Cheng a perfect explanation, especially the important things that are not mentioned in the letter? "
