Face Slapping the General

Chapter 111 Honoring Ceremony (Part 2)

The honoring ceremony that Wu Qiao has been looking forward to for several years has finally begun.

The dome inside the auditorium is high, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the center. On both sides of the red carpet, the chairs were neatly arranged, and people from the government, military, and society who came to watch the ceremony sat upright. The background panels and carpets on the stage are also all red, with some beautiful patterns occasionally embellished.

The ceremony was presided over by Ji Yao.

He first announced the start of the award ceremony, and then said that the national anthem would be played. All the people present stood up, and some of them had injured their legs and refused to make an exception. Wu Qiao saw Laila being held by someone else. Her legs seemed to be unable to use any strength, Wu Qiao’s eyes darkened.

Then Wu Qiao stood up and walked to the front of the stage. He glanced at the audience with calm eyes, and then began to read the five commandments from those who were to be awarded the star generals. Two of them will be awarded the title of five-star generals, and two are four-star generals, including Layla, and the remaining one will be a three-star general.

Leila was pushed in the middle. She has made great contributions and deserves to be banned.

Wu Qiao handed over the certificates one by one, and shook hands with them again. When it was Layla’s turn, Wu Qiao hesitated, decided to gently place the certificate on her lap, and took her white and slender hand and shook it.

“It will be fine, Layla,” Wu Qiao said.

Layla frowned and seemed very dissatisfied: “Wu Qiao, don’t you always do this? I don’t think there is any inconvenience. I am fine now, and I don’t need your sympathy.”

“I’m not sympathetic to you.” Wu Qiao whispered, “I just think it’s you, you can definitely stand up again.”

“…”

“Who have you lost to?”

“…”

Wu Qiao gestured, and Layla was pushed away with a thoughtful expression on her face.

They walked to the side of the stage and were put on the admiral’s epaulettes. Then they walked down the stage and first paid a military salute to Wu Qiao, and then to the audience.

After the admiral’s award was over, Wu Qiao named a marshal, the former general who fought on the western front.

Don’t know why, Wu Qiao thought of Dai Lun. He thought: The marshal in front of him… is actually inferior to Darren. If Darren hadn’t taken a detour at the time, he must be standing here instead of in the prison in that barren land. The difference in thoughts made a big mistake, and there will be no way to recover it in a lifetime. Wu Qiao suddenly remembered the emperor again. He tried to guess whether the emperor was also watching the ceremony, but he didn’t have the slightest clue, because he really didn’t know the emperor.

In the end, it was the highlight of the ceremony-Wu Qiao would award Tan Yan the title of Marshal for life.

Wu Qiao took out a new order.

He referred to Tan Yan as the “terminator of the war”. He said: “It is said that Tan Yan is the top-notch among all the generals. I don’t think anyone will doubt it. When he was young and strong, he dedicated everything and wrote his own history in blood. He witnessed his Wisdom, courage, humility, and loyalty, he deserves the highest glory… He was active at major historical moments, and was a witness, participant, and creator of that period. I hope that he will be the last soldier to be deified. At the same time, I also I hope that our country is a truly just country, and no one will be hurt by merit. Therefore, I decided to grant Marshal Tan Yan the title of Marshal for life as a summary of the past. One day, we will all be dead, chaotic and peaceful. The glorious past has faded, and we will only come back occasionally in dreams. We will forget the melody of the wake-up number, the sound of the radar alarm, the turbulence of the ground when the gunfire and artillery blast, and the whispers on the battlefield. How sad. But even if we forget everything, as long as we think of this title, we can seem to know what kind of career he has accomplished back then.”

Wu Qiao paused, and suddenly soft music sounded in the background.

Wu Qiao added: “Before awarding the honor, I want to thank him again…thank him for making this country end the nightmare, and thank him…for making my life full of light.”

“…?” Someone in the audience thought this sentence was weird, and looked at the audience next to each other.

“In return, I will award Tan Yan the highest level of honor, and I will accompany him and take care of him for the rest of my life.”

“…???” Everyone in the audience became mummified. They understood every word of Wu Qiao’s words, but they couldn’t digest them even if they were connected together.

Everyone is thinking: What does Wu Qiao mean? Why on earth should “accompany him and take care of him”?

After speaking, Wu Qiao took the certificate and walked to the middle of the stage. Facing the audience, Tan Yan stood up from the first row and stepped onto the stage from one side of the stairs. His face was handsome and his legs were long and his movements were very chic.

He walked to the opposite side of Wuqiao and stood still.

Wu Qiao only felt that his breathing was about to stop. He could hear his heart beating, as if he was about to jump out of his chest. About five seconds later, Wu Qiao handed the certificate to Tan Yan, and Tan Yan reached out to take it.

Wu Qiao held Tan Yan’s hand as usual. The difference is that this time, Wu Qiao didn’t let go after holding it, his throat tightened and said: “Tan Yan, we get married… get married… OK?”

“…”

Wu Qiao took out the ring from his pants pocket, took a step back and knelt down on one knee with a “puff”, holding the ring in both hands, staring at Tan Yan’s face with extremely longing eyes.

Although he knew that Tan Yan would not refuse, he still expected the other party to agree.

“…!!!” The audience immediately fry the pan.

Everyone can’t believe what they are seeing at the moment. However, the driver…really is…proposing, no matter what, you won’t be misunderstood!

Tan Yan stared at Wu Qiao for a few seconds, nodded lightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Okay.”

The music naturally transitioned to a happy tune.

Wu Qiao still knelt on the ground, a little awkwardly, putting the ring on Tan Yan’s ring finger.

Tan Yan lowered his head and glanced: “…” Sure enough, the ring carving is very high-profile. The complex patterns are round and round, which looks extremely gorgeous, so the three words “I am expensive” are almost printed on the outer ring of the ring. On it.

At this time, only two “bangs” were heard, and a few fireworks broke out on both sides of the table, and the sky full of ribbons and confetti flew out and landed on the heads of the two people in the center of the table one after another.

Tan Yan once again: “…”

He put his arms around Wu Qiao to make him stand up, exchanged positions with Wu Qiao, and kissed the person in his arms with his back to the audience.

Although the audience can only see Tan Yan’s back, they can also infer that the two have kissed.

A child ran up to the stage carrying a flower basket and scattered flowers and petals around the two of them.

Tan Yan’s third time: “…”

He thought: As a leader, Wu Qiao really uses his life to explain what is called “entertainment spirit.”

Wu Qiao has always been such a person. Before getting to know Wu Qiao, Tan Yan didn’t know that there was such a person who likes to show off.

“…” Wu Qiao thought for a moment, took Tan Yan to the microphone, and said, “Actually…I and the marshal… have been together for ten years. When we were together, I was not the leader, and he was not the marshal.”

The noise gradually subsided.

“We have agreed that we will not be able to get married until the war is over, and we will get married as soon as the war is over…that’s the moment.”

The audience was silent.

“We have made an appointment…to register in ten days.”

“…” After a short silence, a lot of sounds suddenly erupted from the seat-applause, cheers, and roars, turning the end of the honoring ceremony into a very happy scene.
