Capital. A secluded courtyard house in the ancient city of Sijiu. There is a courtyard that is said to have been built here in the Yongle period was once the private summer retreat of the Yan King, after hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, the courtyard actually still retains the proud spirit of the year, although this embodies the efforts of countless ancient building restoration experts in China, but it is not easy to retain the carved eaves of the year. The courtyard is surrounded by a frighteningly high blue brick wall, and if you don't look closely, you can't find that there is a row of people in the middle of the building above the wall.

There was a middle-aged officer standing at the main entrance of the quadrangle, with a straight waist like a pine soaring to the sky, but the rank was a little frighteningly high, and it was a level that could be placed sideways in all major military regions. However, this figure with the rank of general stood willingly at the gate of the courtyard, and did not have the slightest negative feelings because of the punishment, on the contrary, his resolute eyes showed a hint of happiness from time to time.

After nightfall, the lights in the courtyard were a little dim, and a person of almost the same rank appeared from the stone wall at the entrance of the courtyard coldly, and when he looked closely, it was a major general who was over sixty years old, and when he saw the middle-aged young general standing like a statue at the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The old man has almost a fire, and he slept for half an hour, and you can go in again after a while." After a pause, he looked puzzled again: "How could you make it like this with your skills?"

The middle-aged young general adjusted his posture at this time, and leaned into the old man's ear with a wry smile and whispered: "I met the Qin family, you don't know Lieutenant Colonel Huang's ability, I am lucky to be able to come back." ”

The old man's face suddenly changed: "The yellow plum blossoms are open and closed, and they are really skilled." I just don't know how much he hasn't seen each other for so many years, and his skills have improved much compared to back then, but I, a bad old man, have regressed more and more the more I live. ”

The middle-aged young general hurriedly said: "Master, your old man's skills have not diminished back then, even if Lieutenant Colonel Huang comes by himself, it is estimated that he will not be able to bargain." ”

The old man shook his head and patted the middle-aged young general on the shoulder, but the latter leaned away. The old man said curiously: "Injured?"

The middle-aged young general smiled bitterly: "A legend is a legend, if I don't have any malice at all, I won't show mercy over there." When I was fighting, I was wiped by the palm wind, there was no big problem, go back and let my daughter-in-law rub some safflower oil, or it would be fine in two days. After all, as a new generation of masters, he always listened to the older generation talk about the legendary story of Huang Meihua, and he was always a little unconvinced. When masters fight, the victory or defeat is often in an instant, but the moment the lightning flashes, he has already been defeated. He believed that if it weren't for the other party who saw his path and deliberately showed mercy to his subordinates, it was still unknown whether he would be able to stand at the gate of the courtyard alive today.

The old man was just about to say something, when there was a sound of an old man coughing in the courtyard, and the old man hurriedly said, "The old man is awake, come in with me." ”

The courtyard is very large, behind the carved stone wall is actually a pool of red lotus, but the night is late, I can't see the color, but I can see one or two koi fish happily chasing on the water surface by chance by the moonlight.

Before I could get to the lighted room, I heard the voice of an old man in the room: "Is it a white bear?"

The old man, who was parallel to the middle-aged young general, patted the apprentice's shoulder and whispered, "Don't hide it, tell the chief about the situation over there." ”

Before entering the door, the middle-aged young general reorganized his military appearance, put on his hat and held it on his left hand, and knocked on the door: "Chief, Xiong Wazi has come to see you." ”

"Come in!" came the old man's voice from inside the room. The middle-aged young general Bai Xiong slowly pushed the door in, and when he entered the door, he saw the familiar face of Dr. Bao Jian helping the old man measure his blood pressure, and when he saw Bai Xiong coming in, he immediately stared at him with a warning expression. This major general, who can walk sideways in all major military regions, immediately understood and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou, don't worry, I'll report to the chief about my work, a few minutes of work." ”

The old man in a white plain robe slowly lowered the sleeves he had just rolled up: "Xiao Zhou, you go out first, and I'll talk to Xiong Wazi." ”

Bai Xiong's face changed slightly, and after Dr. Zhou went out, he immediately took a straight position: "Report to the chief, Bai Xiong has caused you trouble, please punish the chief." ”

The old man first snorted lightly, and then casually threw a wooden massage hammer over his hand: "Punish you for knocking for me." ”

The white bear was overjoyed, and without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and skillfully tapped one of the old man's calves evenly and forcefully.

"Hey...... This old leg...... It's really an old man!" The old man squinted his eyes and sighed, "I didn't expect to climb the snowy mountains and cross the grassland, plus the devil didn't kill me, and in the end I was abolished by my revolutionary compatriots half a leg...... "During the ten years of turmoil, the old man was beaten to the right, and the problem with his leg was that he was tortured at that time, and then Deng * Gong fell three times, but he still didn't forget the old guy back then, he was rehabilitated, and his status rose, but his leg was no longer better."

Finally, the old man couldn't help it: "Do you really want me, an old man, to speak?"

The white bear, who was concentrating on hammer legs, raised his head and smirked, "Hammer legs and hammer forgot." “

"You bear baby, tell me quickly, how is that child?"

"Report chief, I have seen people from afar, and I have also inquired about some information from the side. You see, here's a picture I took in the car. ”

"Photo?" The old man was suddenly a little excited, and he was originally leaning on the recliner, but now he sat up straight and took the mobile phone from the white bear's hand tremblingly. "This is the kid, hey, it's like, it's so like, it's all like, every one of them is like it. Hey, from this point of view, it's exactly the same as when Yao Wazi was in the army. The old man groped out a yellowed photo from the pocket of his plain robe, the photo showed a young major smiling and showing his white teeth, at first glance, except that he looked a little younger than Li Yundao, there was no difference in anything else.

"Chief, there is no need to test the DNA, this child is too similar to Yao Shao back then!" Bai Xiong looked at the photo and was also amazed, in his opinion, except for some differences in temperament, the father and son were completely printed in the same mold.

"The test still has to be tested, otherwise it will not be convincing. Xiong Wazi, this matter can't be said now, you know?" the old man suddenly became stern.

Bai Xiong patted his chest and said, "I dare to say that if I miss someone, you can shoot me directly, chief." ”

The old man smiled and said: "I can't bear to shoot you, it's okay to punish you for practicing more calligraphy." ”

Bai Xiong immediately frowned: "Chief, we know discipline. ”

The old man lay down again: "Bear baby, talk to me well, what is the situation of that child now, tell the truth, don't be afraid, I am mentally prepared." ”

Bai Xiong picked up the wooden massage hammer again, and tapped it as he told the news that he had gone to Jiangnan to investigate.

The old man also made some psychological preparations at the beginning, in his eyes, after all, the child grew up alone outside, lacking discipline and training, as long as he did not fall to the point of inter-provincial bandits, the old man could basically accept it, after all, the old Wang family owed the child too much.
