Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 847 Taking A Plane

After settling the affairs of the Ye family, Chu Feng returned to the military camp.

The war in Xi Ye had ended, and with Shen Wanqian and Guan Ping An leading the post-war reconstruction efforts, stability was gradually returning. Observing this progress, Chu Feng decided it was time to return to Yenching.

On that evening, a grand victory banquet was held in Xi Ye. It was dedicated to honoring the courageous soldiers who had displayed bravery on the battlefield and commemorating their triumphant achievements. These soldiers, hailing from diverse regions across the country, were united by a fiery spirit that compelled them to join the front lines. This military force represented a collaborative endeavor involving the four major military regions.

As they bid goodbye, they were uncertain of when they might reunite. Hence, they toasted to their hearts' content, pledging not to head home until they were thoroughly intoxicated.

The following morning, a large group gathered at the military airport. Among them were the leaders of Xi Ye, led by Guan Ping An and Shen Wanqian. Accompanying them were countless influential figures and ordinary citizens from all walks of life, totaling tens of thousands.

With war flags in hand, they expressed their admiration through synchronized slogans, creating a unified and respectful farewell to their esteemed God of War.

"After four decades in politics, witnessing this magnificent spectacle and being embraced by the people is truly a first for me," Guan Ping An exclaimed. He couldn't help but feel emotional at the sight.

"Yes, such a grand scene. We've only read about it in the records of historical figures."

"Arriving with a welcome from thousands, leaving with a city-wide sensation. This is what it means to be a true hero."

The on-site dignitaries couldn't help but express their admiration.

Guan Ping An had mentioned casually the night before that he wanted to give the Dragon Soul God of War a triumphant send-off. However, a thought crossed his mind—could he mobilize more people to liven up the scene?

Little did he anticipate the extent of Chu Feng's popularity. Overnight, tens of thousands spontaneously gathered to bid farewell to the Dragon Soul's God of War.

This was only the first group. The second and third groups were en route. Even the police had to be mobilized to manage traffic and prevent congestion and stampede incidents.

Stomp, stomp, stomp…

At that moment, a disciplined squad of soldiers marched in with their rhythmic steps echoing in the air. They solemnly carried a cremation urn draped with a war flag, creating a dignified spectacle.

Despite the energetic chants from the crowd, confusion swept through as they noticed the entire formation comprised only of field officers. The imposing figure with five stars on his shoulders, the Dragon Soul's God of War, was nowhere in sight.

Guan Ping An approached Luo Gang and inquired, "What's happening, Deputy Officer Luo? Where is the Dragon Lord?"

"The Dragon Lord had already left Xi Ye before dawn."

Luo Gang's words caused a commotion among the crowds. Those who had hoped to catch a glimpse of Chu Feng were disappointed.

"The Dragon Lord didn't want to trouble everyone and alarm the public. So, he left Xiye early in the morning with the ashes of thirty-six martyrs from Yenching who perished on the battlefield," Luo Gang explained. He continued, "On behalf of the Dragon Lord, I extend gratitude to everyone for their respect and utmost appreciation. Salute!" Following that, he promptly stood up and saluted.

Shuffle, shuffle...

All the soldiers present saluted in unison, creating a magnificent and grand scene.

Despite the synchronized display of respect, Guan Ping An couldn't shake off his unease. The grand and spectacular scene had seemingly been arranged in vain. "Deputy Officer Luo, everyone came here to give the Dragon Lord a triumphant send-off, but now that everyone is here, we can't see the Dragon Lord. What should we do?"

"Yes, we have also prepared a special plane for the Dragon Lord. Returning with an empty aircraft wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
