Chapter 785 Dismissal
Chu Tianxiong furrowed his brows. "What trouble has that dude caused again? How did he manage to alarm those old guys?"
"Duo Duo, I have something to attend to. Can I play with you later?" Chu Tianxiong's face was filled with affection as he looked at her.
Duo Duo pouted and looked unhappy. "Daddy always puts me first. His work is not as important as mine."
"Then you can ask Daddy to come back and play with me."
Chu Tianxiong was momentarily speechless.
"Just ten minutes, only ten minutes, okay?"
"Okay, fine." Duo Duo blinked her big eyes. She understood the greater good.
Only then did Chu Tianxiong turn and leave, heading straight for the living room.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, Chu Feng, is truly outrageous!"
"I implore you to dismiss him from his position and bring him back."
As soon as they met, several veterans approached Chu Tianxiong in an imposing manner to complain.
Chu Tianxiong furrowed his brows and waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down. After listening to their exaggerated reports, he was also internally shocked.
But on the surface, he remained calm and sipped his tea.
"Wu Yinglong is not only Lord Ping Xi's eldest son but also the commander of the central army camp. He is the future Lord Ping Xi. Chu Feng killed him without asking for orders or investigating. This is simply lawless."
"Yes, the Wu family announced their retirement and handed over the Lord Ping Xi seal. This is a protest against us."
"If the Wu family retreats, Xi Bei will fall into chaos. We cannot be careless. We must deal with Chu Feng seriously." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Chu Tianxiong calmly drank his tea, his gaze calm but extremely intimidating. "Is that all?"
"This..."
The several veterans were all stunned. Wasn't this enough?
Chu Tianxiong continued, "Wu Yinglong, as the chief general, led to the disastrous defeat of a hundred thousand troops, with thirty thousand soldiers dying on the battlefield and no remains left. Shouldn't he be held accountable?"
"The Wu family has occupied Xi Bei for three hundred years. What contributions have they made to Xi Bei during these years? What value have they created? They are nothing more than a group of leeches. Wu Zhenguo wants to threaten me with his retirement, but I won't fall for it. Since he wants to retire, fine. Let him settle all the industries and companies under the Wu family's name within three days and hand them all over. If he doesn't want to do it, there are plenty of people who do."
There was silence as the veterans were dumbfounded.
They did not expect that Chu Tianxiong would defend Chu Feng so fiercely, even if it meant offending the Wu family and protecting Chu Feng.
"My lord, but Chu Feng is dangerous. If we let him stay in Xi Ye, it is feared that he will cause a great disaster sooner or later," an elder said.
"I suggest immediately removing him from his position and bringing him back."
"Yes, dismiss him!"
"Although he may not follow military orders when he is outside, we don't need such an unruly and reckless general."
Chu Tianxiong glanced at them one by one and said, "Chu Feng has his own way of doing things and not obeying orders, but don't forget, he is the most courageous and daring general we have ever had!"
"Besides him, who else can send a letter to make Hu Yanqing retreat three hundred miles? Who else dares to offend various powerful figures and uproot the toxic authorities in Xi Ye? Besides him, who else dares to make a military declaration to break Xi Xia within a month?"
"Can any of you do these?"
Chu Tianxiong's gaze swept over the three veterans in front of him, leaving them speechless and embarrassed.
"My lord, I think we should carefully consider this matter," one of the veterans finally spoke up.
"There is no need for further discussion. I will never exchange Chu Feng with another. As for Wu Zhenguo, if he wants to threaten me, he should consider his own abilities and think carefully if he, as Lord Ping Xi, is qualified to compete with me, Chu Tianxiong."
Chu Tianxiong waved his hand and left directly.
"That's it. My granddaughter has only given me ten minutes, and I don't have time to argue with you."
