Chapter 885 Li Yunlong doesn’t have much time left!
"Dongfang, have you been busy these days? I heard from Xianxian that you rarely have time to eat at home on time?" Yuandan came to his mother-in-law's house.
"We need to check some of the family's assets and investment directions. We can't be completely ignorant and let them grow stronger and bigger for nothing." Cao Dongfang replied.
"This is serious business, you go and get busy. Qianli is also busy now. If there is hope, work hard for a few years. If there is no hope, you should have a good rest." The mother-in-law still remembers the ten years of struggle.
"Look at what you said. I worked hard for several years and was promoted from lieutenant general to general. Struggle is useful." The father-in-law quickly argued.
"Come on, you forget it. Back then I thought it was the result of your hard work, but a few years later I found out it was Dongfang's credit. Does it have anything to do with you?" The mother-in-law knew what happened back then.
"My hard work is also a reason, this is the key point." The father-in-law lacks confidence.
"I'm too lazy to say anything to you. If you're in good health, you can have more fun and worry less. Dongfang, Commander Li Yunlong is not in good health. He just came out of hospital after two months." said the mother-in-law.
"I really don't know. Let me take a look... He's at home. I'll go see him. We've known each other for 30 years, so we're old acquaintances." Cao Dongfang saw that Li Yunlong's condition was not good.
Unlike his history, after living for more than ten years, he has grown old. He is no longer the powerful general who killed all the enemies in the past, but just an old man.
While nothing was going on at his mother-in-law's house, Cao Dongfang knocked on Li Yunlong's door with some cigarettes, alcohol and fruits.
"Hey, Lao Cao, you came to see me, what a rare guest, sit down, sit down quickly, I am tired from getting out of bed, so I won't get out of bed to greet you.
Just look at me, why bring wine? Isn't this tempting me to drink? Open it, open it quickly and try it. Without wine, I, Li, will be so greedy. "Li Yunlong is very greedy for wine.
"Uncle Cao, the doctor forbids my dad to drink alcohol, and my mom also doesn't let him drink too much. They want him to get his body in shape before drinking." Li Yunlong's son Li Te is also a soldier.
"Is your mother not at home? You don't have to worry too much about your father. He was not afraid of anything back then, and he is not afraid of anything now.
It’s worth it to drink from a young age until now. Even if something happens, you should live happily. "Cao Dongfang patted Li Te's shoulder.
Cao Dongfang saw that our Old Li’s time was up and he would not live for more than seven days. People who live a heroic life will care about life and death.
"Uncle Cao..."
"Son, there's no need to say more. I know my own body well. You'll be right to listen to your Uncle Cao. Call your Uncle Kong and the others and come to my place for a drink." Old Li was very generous.
"Okay." Li Te seemed to react.
"Old Li was hospitalized without telling me. If he didn't have any wine, I'd bring you some. You've been drinking all your life, so why are you asking for food? I'll go buy it for you." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"Not for now. Wine is enough. It won't taste good without wine. You don't have any ideas now..." Old Li is very cunning.
"We have already decided the overall situation, so there is no need to calculate anything. There are still some minor matters that cannot be made public, and I will handle them." Cao Dongfang's words were ambiguous.
"That's good. Your greatest achievement is that you have maintained stability over the past ten years. More than 100 million people died in the war. War is too cruel.
The country is doing very well now, and I will die without regrets. That was my ideal back then. As an uneducated person, I could only think about having enough food to eat, and I didn’t have so many ideals.”
Old Li knew that he only had a few days left, so he spoke directly.
"We are building something better, at least a prosperous era."
"That's right. It's your business. I hope you can handle it well." Old Li also has expectations.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I won't get into trouble over trivial matters." Cao Dongfang said seriously.
"I believe you. You are as smart as Zhao Gang back then." Li Yunlong smiled happily.
........
"Mom, you're back. Minister Cao came to our house to see my dad. He brought cigarettes and alcohol and said..." Li Te and Tian Yu told Cao Dongfang what he said.
"Bang." The food in Tian Yu's hand fell to the ground and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She understood what Cao Dongfang meant.
Li Yunlong doesn't have much time left.
Tian Yu had heard Li Yunlong talk about the magic of Cao Dongfang more than once, and he should always believe in Cao Dongfang.
The trust in Zhao Gang is based on personal relationship, and the trust in Cao Dongfang is based on personal ability. Tian Yu believes in Li Yunlong, and she also feels something, but she is just deceiving herself.
After wiping away her tears, Tian Yu said hello to Cao Dongfang, then went to the kitchen with a smile to cook with the nanny.
When Cao Dongfang saw Kong Jie and the other two arrive, he called Song Xianxian to inform her that he was having a drink and dinner at Li Yunlong's house.
"Mr. Li, drink less and drink later. Take care of your health." Zhao Gang advised.
"No need to persuade me. I know my body well. I won't live for many days. I will go down to explore the way first. You will all be my soldiers after you come.
If you don't have wine to honor me, I have 10,000 ways to deal with you, remember that." Lao Li laughed happily.
"Old Li may not be fighting, but you were a handsome young man in the surrounding villages. Find more wives and have more children. A wife and children are the right place for you."
"Yeah, I had no problem finding a wife with my looks back then. But I still like fighting, I don't know anything else."
"If you don't listen to more studies, you can't blame others."
"Lao Li, drinking is more enjoyable than with you. I will bring wine to you." Everyone present is indifferent to life and death. If they don't accept it, they will fight. No one cares about life and death.
"Lao Cao, when will you retire? Nothing big should happen now, will those two rise up? And Niu Niu and Xima people."
“Maybe fifty years from now, we will be playing in the sea of stars, and they can jump around here.
As for retirement, it won’t be earlier than 2,000 years ago. There are still some small things that need to be finished, and things should be done from beginning to end. ” Cao Dongfang replied.
"Fifty years is enough. The rest will be the business of the next generation. You have done a great job." Ding Wei was also a little drunk.
“Each generation does its own thing.”
"Your generation has fought three generations' worth of wars. We have to surpass you no matter what. A hundred years ahead is not too much, right?" Cao Dongfang joked.
"Hahaha, you are ambitious. You are almost there. It is not a big deal for you to be ahead by a hundred years."
"Lao Cao, there is one thing I don't understand. Why haven't you looked older since I met you?" Li Yunlong finally couldn't help it.
"This is why I practice martial arts. I will still be like this when I am 200 years old. I am the most handsome young man in the world. Old Li, be careful or I will compete with you for a wife." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"Does practicing martial arts require a very high level?"
"The Hua Jin Grandmaster slows down the aging process. The Xiantian Grandmaster can do the same, and the Tian Ren realm can maintain one's youth. I am now in the Tian Ren realm." Cao Dongfang did not hide it.
"You are so awesome, is this the reason why you can drink? How do you think you can drink more than me? I am very unconvinced. I am 20 years younger and can drink more than you." Old Li has been unconvinced for 30 years.
"Old Li, even if you are fifty years younger, it won't work. People in the Heavenly Realm won't get drunk when drinking and can excrete alcohol from their bodies. What can you compare with?" Cao Dongfang said contemptuously.
"Six Meridians Divine Sword."
"This is cheating. It doesn't count as you being able to drink." Lao Li still refused to accept it.
"I'm cheating when drinking with an old man like you. I can drink 50 kilograms of alcohol without any problem. Lao Li, work hard."
"A barrel."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Dongfang and three others left Li Yunlong's house and asked Tian Yu downstairs.
"Minister Cao, Lao Li..." Before he could finish his words, tears started flowing again.
“It won’t take more than seven days, more likely four days, for Lao Li to satisfy whatever he needs.
If you can't satisfy him, call me and fight for my life, so that Lao Li can leave without regrets. "Cao Dongfang's face was not looking good either.
"Thank you, Minister Cao."
"Old Li is the oldest, and we are the next in line. Is there anything we regret? I don't care." Ding Wei was still very straightforward.
"It's almost our turn."
