War God Returns

As soon as the congressional vote came out, not only half of the people were against it, but some of the officials were also against it.    

    

As for the Ministry of War, all three hundred thousand sons of Azure Dragon Army stood out to oppose it. There were also some who objected in the other war zones.    

    

However, at the first moment, the commanders from the other warzones suppressed these voices of opposition.    

    

Shen Ze also gave the order at once to silence the entire Azure Dragon Army.    

    

The entire Azure Dragon Army was filled with anger. They really wanted to say something, but because of Shen Ze's order, they didn't dare to disobey. They could only suppress their anger and remain silent.    

    

Because of this, the entire Ministry of War no longer had any objections. This made the people of the world feel very strange.    

    

Even the Ministry of War didn't stand up to object. Didn't that mean that Shen Ze was really on the decline?    

    

The decision caused a storm throughout the country and could not calm down for a long time.    

    

Shen Ze didn't pay much attention to the storm in the outside world. Instead, he continued to live his leisurely life.    

    

After returning to the courtyard, Shen Ze took an afternoon nap.    

    

He woke up in the afternoon to water the flowers and bask in the sun.    

    

In the evening, Shen Ze personally cooked dinner.    

    

After seven o'clock in the evening, the sun had just set.    

    

Shen Ze and Qin Chao had just taken their seats when a Tang Suit Old Man brought a middle-aged man to the four courtyards.    

    

The two of them were none other than Ning Yansoong and his personal attendant, Zhang Che.    

    

It was as if they had returned to their own home. Ning Yansoong showed no mercy and brought Zhang Che to the dining hall.    

    

"It's just nice that we haven't had dinner yet. It's the right time to come!"    

    

Seeing that Shen Ze and the others had not started to eat, Ning Yansoong smiled and found a chair to sit down.    

    

Then, he instructed Zhang Che, "Go to the kitchen and bring two sets of cutlery over."    

    

"Yes."    

    

Zhang Che nodded and went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks.    

    

Looking at the smiling Ning Yansoong, Shen Ze said with an indifferent tone, "Who asked you to come to my place to freeload and drink?"    

    

Ning Yansoong laughed when he heard that.    

    

He glanced at Shen Ze and mocked him. I can't eat, I can't drink, so why do you want me to freeload and freeload?"    

    

"You, Shen Ze, have a lot of money. Are you afraid that I, an old man, will eat and drink you poor?"    

    

Shen Ze sneered at Ning Yansoong when he heard that.    

    

"Next time you come back to freeload and drink, make it yourself. Don't even think about eating ready-made food!"    

    

Shen Ze said. Qin Chao, who was standing at the side, interrupted him with a smile. "Today's dinner was prepared by young master."    

    

After hearing their conversation, the smile on Ning Yansoong's face became much brighter.    

    

He nodded heavily and said, "Okay, next time I cook, I won't eat ready-made food!"    

    

"I will remember that!" Shen Ze said.    

    

Ning Yansoong smiled slyly. "Remember to remind me if I forget next time."    

    

Shen Ze snorted coldly and did not say anything else.    

    

At this moment, Zhang Che returned to the dining room with two sets of chopsticks.    

    

After that, the four of them sat down and began to eat and drink.    

    

Shen Ze knew that Ning Yansoong was the kind of person who would come to the palace for no reason.    

    

Ning Yansoong had come to the courtyard in a dusty manner tonight. It must be because of something.    

    

However, Ning Yansoong did not say anything, and Shen Ze did not ask.    

    

Everyone ate and drank while chatting. Unknowingly, they had settled the dishes and wine on the table.    

    

After everyone had their fill, they leaned back in their chairs and rested quietly for a while.    

    

After that, Qin Chao took the initiative to clean the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.    

    

Shen Ze got up and walked to the yard to blow the wind.    

    

Ning Yansoong followed Shen Ze to the yard.    

    

Zhang Che sat on the chair and did not move.    

    

Shen Ze looked up at the bright starry sky. He took out a pack of cigarettes and asked Ning Yansoong, "Do you want one?"    

    

Ning Yansoong shook his head and said, "I quit."    

    

Shen Ze did not say anything. He took out a cigarette and lit it.    

    

Ning Yansoong put his hands behind his back and looked up at the bright starry sky.    

    

After a while, Ning Yansoong broke the silence and said, "You went to the parliament today. Why didn't you interrupt the meeting and not let the result come out?"    

    

Shen Ze thought for a moment and said calmly, "We stopped it this time. There will be another time. There is no need."    

    

Ning Yansoong said, "Then won't you go for nothing?"    

    

Shen Ze said, "It is not for nothing. It is enough to show your attitude."    

    

Ning Yansoong was silent for a long time when he heard that.    

    

Then, he said, Huang Shiping has made up his mind to remove your position and position as the Dragon God. Aren't you going to do something about it?"    

    

Shen Ze didn't say anything. He just shook his head.    

    

Ning Yansoong frowned when he saw Shen Ze shake his head. His eyes were filled with uncertainty.    

    

Ning Yansoong asked uncertainly, "Are you planning to not take action and let Huang Shiping successfully remove your position as Marshal of Ministry of War and the position of Dragon God?"    

    

Shen Ze did not say anything and agreed.    

    

Ning Yansoong's frown deepened when he saw this.    

    

His tone was solemn. He said in a low voice, "Doing this is equivalent to surrendering. I'm afraid it will make Huang Shiping's ambition grow even more."    

    

Shen Ze said lightly, "If I retreat, he will need to clean up the mess."    

    

"Even so, it will not affect much."    

    

Ning Yansoong said seriously, "I don't want to see you leave."    

    

Ning Yansoong then said in a deep voice, "I signed a gentleman's agreement with Huang Shiping and left voluntarily because you can keep him in check."    

    

"If you withdraw now, Huang Shiping will be able to do whatever he wants. He will be able to cover the sky with one hand."    

    

At the end of his sentence, Ning Yansoong revealed a worried expression.    

    

In Ning Yansoong's eyes, Huang Shiping had some ability, but he was too focused on fighting for power. He was obsessed with power. It was not appropriate for him to sit in the first chair in Dragon Country.    

    

Ning Yansoong had signed a gentleman's agreement with Huang Shiping and retired on his own accord.    

    

The first reason was to maintain the stability of Dragon Country, and the second reason was because of Shen Ze's existence.    

    

With Shen Ze as the God of Stabilizing the Nation to keep Huang Shiping in check, Ning Yansoong could rest assured.    

    

Now, Shen Ze wanted to leave, and this matter was already in progress. This made Ning Yansoong very worried.    

    

If Shen Ze didn't have the position of Marshal of Ministry of War and the position of Dragon God, then Huang Shiping would become the person with the highest status in Dragon Country.    

    

Even if Shen Ze had the ability and ability to keep Huang Shiping in check, the meaning was different.    

    

Without the position of the Dragon God and Marshal of Ministry of War, Shen Ze would lose his reputation if he fought Huang Shiping again. It would be very easy for Huang Shiping to defame him.    

    

At that time, Shen Ze would be restricted, and he would be restrained when fighting Huang Shiping.    

    

This was not what Ning Yansoong wanted to see.    

    

"Kid, you can't retreat now."    

    

Ning Yansoong looked at Shen Ze with a pleading gaze. He seemed to be begging. He said word by word, "I hope you can work hard for a few more years. When Huang Shiping leaves, you can retreat again."
