Chapter 2
When Fan Gang heard Xiao Potian ask this question, he was greatly nervous. He thought he knew what he was asking. If someone in the court could defeat the enemy, why would Dragon Lord send him from a great distance to ask him to come out of retirement?
But he did not dare say so.
"Tiger Commander directs military operations with miraculous skills, and has powerful combat strength that strikes terror into the hearts of the enemy. No one in country can match you. As soon as you come out of retirement and assume personal command, the enemy will flee before you and collapse of itself." Fan Gang's voice was deafening like a great bell.
When the crowd heard Fan Gang say so, they were struck dumb and could hardly believe it.
"You have my permission to go. Let me think it over again. We will discuss later!" Xiao Potian saw that there were too many people here to discuss national affairs, so he had to let Fan Gang go back first.
"Tiger Commander, you are treasure of the country. Dragon Country can not live without you!" Fan Gang saw that Xiao Potian seemed to be hesitating, so he continued to persuade.
He begged Xiao Potian to come out of retirement on the street but was rejected, and he immediately reported the situation to his majesty.
But his majesty immediately gave him the command of death, no matter what conditions Xiao Potian offered, he would promise. Even if it was to do everything in its power, at all costs, he shall bring Xiao Potian back!
Otherwise, he would get beheaded!
Fan Gang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he knew Xiao Potian had gone to the Chu Family, he immediately chased him back.
However, Xiao Potian seemed to refuse to come out of retirement now, how could he not be anxious?
"Enough! Are you annoying or not? We'll talk later! Don't you understand? Get out!" Xiao Potian was a little angry. It was a shame to talk about confidential things in front of all these people.
"Yes!" Fan Gang dared not say more. He turned around and went away like a gust of wind. He always came quickly and went quickly.
It was quite silent, and those present were dumbstruck.
It was some time before the crowd recovered from their surprise.
"Clap clap..."
A round of applause broke out.
Xiao Potian received countless flowers and applause before, but it was the first time in the Chu Family, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"You don't have to make such a fuss. I haven't been Tiger Commander for many years." Xiao Potian said as he slowly returned to his seat.
He really hated Fan Gang. He intended to be a good-for-nothing quietly, but he made such a scene in public and exposed his own identity. How could he keep a low profile in the future?
Three years ago, when he was in the midst of great success, he suddenly took off his armour and went home, not because he wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, but for other unexplainable reasons.
However, when he retired back to Nanguang City, the elder Master Chu, Chu Dewang asked him to marry into the Chu Family, he did not hesitate to agree.
Not because he coveted the wealth and rank of the Chu Family, but because he wanted to repay Chu Yuxin and the elder Master Chu.
He would never forget the night with a heavy downpour more than ten years ago.
That night, his mother and he tramped on the streets, and they hid under the overpass. His mother had a high fever, sick and dying.
He was penniless, he had to run to the side of the road and stop cars, begging for a handout, so he could take his mother to the hospital.
However, he stood in the rain and kept begging, but there was no sympathy, no willingness to lend a helping hand.
When he was at his most helpless and desperate, a Bentley pulled up.
A girl about his age got out of the car with an umbrella, inquired about the situation, and begged her grandfather to take his mother to the hospital.
Her grandfather not only agreed, but also praised her.
This loving little girl is now Chu Yuxin.
That night they not only took his mother to the hospital, but also paid for all the medicine and gave him some money to take care of his mother.
For Chu Yuxin and her grandfather, it was just a small act of kindness. But for Xiao Potian and his mother, it was undoubtedly timely help and life-saving grace.
Repay as much as you can for even a little bit of favour you have received, let alone life-saving grace?
The great kindness of life-saving grace is as weighty as a mountain!
Also that night, as a young man, he fell in love with Miss Chu at first sight. He fell in love with the beautiful and caring girl. But he was aware of his inferiority, he did not expect too much.
Later, he joined the army and made outstanding military achievements. At a young age, he was named the first National Tiger Commander of Dragon Country, and created a military myth.
There was a huge crisis in the Chu Family four years ago. At that time, when Xiao Potian was at the height of power, he helped the Chu Family to overcome all the difficulties just in a word.
The only person who knew about this was the elder Master Chu. Of course, he also knew that Xiao Potian would help the Chu Family because he had helped Xiao Potian and his mother.
When Xiao Potian took off his armour and went home without any power or authority, Chu Dewang firmly betrothed his favorite granddaughter to Xiao Potian.
Because of his long-term vision, he foresaw that Xiao Potian, a rare talent as a field commander in the world, would be reused sooner or later and have a bright future.
However, Chu Yuxin and Xiao Potian met again after so many years, she did not recognize Xiao Potian. She did not know that her husband was the boy she had helped.
She helped so many people and Xiao Potian was just one of them.
And Xiao Potian did not tell these to Chu Yuxin. When he married into and lived with the Chu Family, he did nothing, not because he did not want to work, but because he disdained to do it.
How could a man like him, who was all-powerful and became famous for the victory of a war, go to work and do unimportant things like ordinary people? As a Tiger Commander once led a large number of mounted and foot soldiers, did he want to be a security guard to look after the house?
He thought it was more meaningful to stay at home and take good care of Chu Yuxin!
Meanwhile, he was waiting for a chance to make a comeback.
Just when Xiao Potian immersed in memories, a sound came up, "That's a pretty good show. I give you full marks! You deserve the applause!"
Xiao Potian stood in amazement at once. What was it?
"I'm dying of laughing... Ha ha..." Chu Feiyang first could not help but laugh.
"Ha ha... Tiger Commander, treasure of the country. Dragon Country can not live without you! You did a really good job of that show. If I hadn't known you were a loser, I would have believed it!" Chen Ankang couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Potian, you are such a good actor that it is a pity for you not to be an actor."
"How much did you pay for that big fellow? Besides, where did he buy that fake martial attire he was wearing?"
"How dare a man who has been in the army for five years and hasn't managed to obtain an unimportant official post pretend to be Tiger Commander. Are you trying to laugh us to death?"
No one would believe what Fan Gang and Xiao Potian said just now, because they played it too much.
They all thought that Xiao Potian had been ridiculed all these years, so he deliberately asked a big fellow to put on a show in order to impress them with him.
It was just the opposite and it made them look down on him even more!
"Xiao Potian, I ask you, what good is it for you if I die of laughing? If I laughed to death, who would support you?" At this time, Chu Yuxin could not bear it anymore.
Seeing that Xiao Potian and Fan Gang acted so realistically just now, she thought it was true at that moment. But after everyone said so, she suddenly woke up. Originally Xiao Potian was dead determined to save face, and deliberately looked for someone to play!
It made her even more disappointed with Xiao Potian. He had no ability, and he liked to pretend. What else could she expect from such a man?
"... " Xiao Potian could not explain. But it was better that no one believed him, and he was afraid that someone might know who he was!
So he went with the current and said, "I just want to add to the fun."
"Nonsense! How presumptuous of you! Don't let strangers break in next time. What if they steal something? No one can come to our Chu Family just because they want to!" The elder Mrs. Chu said angrily.
Xiao Potian felt it ridiculous, if she knew the identity of Fan Gang, the whole Chu Family would feel lustre lent to a humble house!
Even though Fan Gang always knelt down to Xiao Potian, Fan Gang was a three-star warrior!
But Xiao Potian was higher in rank than Fan Gang, and he had to kneel and beg.
"Excuse me. Let me laugh for a while. Ha ha..."
"Ha ha... I'm about to laugh so hard that my stomach hurts!"
"Xiao Potian, why don't you just change your last name to Laugh (In Chinese, "Xiao" means laugh.)? It will suit you better! Ha ha......"
The crowd continued laughing.
He was laughed at just at one meal. At this time, Xiao Potian had no mood to eat food.
So he stood up silently and left the table.
But then an accident happened.
When Xiao Potian turned around, he did not expect the Yorkshire terrier of Chu Feifei was at his feet. He accidentally stepped on the pet dog!
The Yorkshire terrier was trampled by Xiao Potian, and immediately let out a cry in fear.
Chu Feifei was furious immediately when she saw her beloved dog be stepped on.
"Are you blind, loser? How dare you step on my dog? You want to die?" When Chu Feifei shouted abuse, she threw her bowl at Xiao Potian!
Xiao Potian heard the wind behind him, suddenly turned around, and struck a blow!
"Bang!"
The flying bowl was broken by Xiao Potian's fist, but the rice in the bowl still splashed all over him.
Xiao Potian did not expect that he was just stepping on a dog, but Chu Feifei threw a bowl on him!
Was he worse than a dog in the Chu Family?
Xiao Potian could endure that but he also had a bottom line. This time, he was really angry!
There was suddenly a murderous look. The eyes of Xiao Potian flashed like lightning, and he coldly stared at Chu Feifei.
Many people were still laughing at Xiao Potian's acting skill, but the laughter stopped abruptly.
Because the look in the eyes of Xiao Potian at the moment was cold from the bone marrow.
No one had ever seen that look before, and they all trembled with fear and shrank their necks spontaneously.
No one could have imagined that the live-in son-in-law who had been weak for three years would flare up.
They even saw thousands of mounted and foot soldiers and wholesale slaughter from the eyes of Xiao Potian!
