Chapter 137: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

Early the next morning, Zheng Jing was taken to a compound by Qin Xingwu.

Before meeting this old man who had just been rescued from his illness yesterday, Zheng Jing imagined that this great man who had lived for nearly a hundred years should be like an old fairy lighting an incense burner at home, making a pot of tea, closing his eyes and slowly waiting for his arrival, and then asking him some unfathomable questions and the like.

But when Zheng Jing really saw this old man who was still lying on the hospital bed yesterday, this old man was wearing a white sweatshirt and big pants, sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, with a cigarette in his mouth and spitting out fog, and there were two empty wine bottles on the table in front of him. The old ruffian is pretty much the same.

It is said that people will see everything after experiencing a life and death ordeal, but this old man is too "open", right? Zheng Jing just wanted to rush up and choke the old man's neck now, so that he could spit out the Sage Stone used to save him, and give him a hundred livers, and he couldn't resist such a death.

"Chief, Zheng Jing is here." Qin Xingwu was obviously not surprised by the old man's virtue, and after making a report, he consciously stepped aside with a helpless expression.

It stands to reason that even if a patient with terminal cancer is really cured, how can he be discharged from the hospital? But this strange old man not only ran out of the hospital the next day, but also used his power to forcibly suppress the sensational news that his cancer was cured, which saved Zheng Jing from trouble.

There was no place to sit in the living room except for the sofa where the old man was sitting under his buttocks, and Zheng Jing had to stand like Qin Xingwu, while the old general Gao raised his head. I saw Zheng Jing standing there empty-handed. The wrinkles on his face were huddled together.

"It's so unbelievable! When I came to someone else's house, I came empty-handed. Young people nowadays are becoming more and more rude. ”

Yes, the gifts are so reasonable, it seems that the old general must have received no less bribes and filial piety before retirement, fortunately, Zheng Jing was prepared for this, and took out a stack of drawings directly from the storage space of the terminal, which was the engine drawings he exchanged from Pierna with instant noodles at the beginning.

"I heard that you are interested in this engine drawing, and this time I brought the full version of the drawing. Just as my greeting gift. Zheng Jing squeezed out a smile and handed the drawings to the old man.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand, but what Zheng Jing didn't expect was that after the old general took the thick stack of drawings, he didn't even look at it, and threw it directly on the ground, and said in an unhurried tone: "Who said I was interested in this drawing?" I've seen your drawings, and they say that this thing has no value, and there is no material in this world that can realize the design on it. ”

Asking for gifts without concealment, and then disgusting that the gifts are not good enough. Zheng Jing really couldn't figure out the old man's temper, and he couldn't think of how to answer for a while. However, Zheng Jing didn't speak, but the old man had something to say.

"Young man, I know some of your secrets, are you interested in relying on your ability to serve the country? I promise I can't do you any wrong. ”

Although he was asking, the old man's tone and demeanor did not seem to be discussing with someone at all, but more like he was ordering Zheng Jing, and what was revealed in his eyes was a majesty that could never be refused.

The old man was born in the war years, joined the army when he was young, participated in three wars, and is one of the few veterans in existence.

But Zheng Jing was not affected by the old man's coercion at all, shook his head decisively, and said, "I'm sorry, if you think that I am a four-good young man who loves the country and the party, then I will disappoint you." ”

"You ......" Qin Xingwu on the side was in a hurry, as a soldier, he had never seen anyone dare to say such things so blatantly, and he couldn't help but teach Zheng Jing a lesson, but was stopped by General Gao with his eyes.

The old man turned his head to look at Zheng Jing again: "We don't come to be false, you just say your purpose, anyway, I was saved by you once, even if it is to repay you for saving your life, I will definitely try my best to meet you if you make a request." ”

"I'm a businessman with a simple purpose, I just want an opportunity to trade on an equal footing." Zheng Jing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Deal?" The old man smiled: "Who do you want to trade with?" ”

"You, or the military forces behind you, can give me what I want. In exchange, I believe that what I have brought out will surely satisfy you. ”

Qin Xingwu snorted when he heard this, he also knew that Zheng Jing often came out with some magical things, which were of great significance to the country, so he knew very well the importance of Zheng Jing, but he couldn't get used to Zheng Jing's attitude, and said in a very unkind tone: "It's really a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, do you know who you are talking to?" Trade? Ridiculous, why would we trade with you? Don't think too much of our strength, if we want anything from you, we just need to tie you up and torture you for two days. Last time, I was carelessly escaped by you, but this time it was in the capital, do you think you can escape again? ”

Qin Xingwu said that he really took out a pistol and loaded the bullet, but at this time, the old man stood up directly: "Stop me!" ”

Qin Xingwu, who was stopped by the old man, was a little unconvinced: "Old chief, we ......"

"Needless to say." The old man directly interrupted Qin Xingwu, who still wanted to continue to adopt a tough attitude, and said to Zheng Jing: "A long time ago, there was a person like you who stood in front of me and provided me with a chance, and that time I chose to try to keep him in my own way, and the result was to completely force him away. This time I want to try to follow your rules, just according to what you said, let's trade! ”

Things went much smoother than expected, and the deal was reached so easily, and the old general gave Zheng Jing the feeling that he was also a very easy and talkative old man, not very difficult to deal with. Zheng Jing, who came out of the compound and stood at the door, took a deep breath.

Although it is a special place for veteran cadres to recuperate, it is so quiet that people can't believe that this is in the capital. If it was played in the movie, there must be a lot of snipers and axes hidden in the bushes around him and on the rooftops at this moment, and the slightest mistake would be indiscriminately shot into a hornet's nest.

"What are you standing here thinking? With me, you're afraid that someone will ambush you. A voice came from behind him, which made Zheng Jing can't help but turn his head.

"Actually, what I'm thinking is that Mao, you, will suddenly appear here?" Looking at Xiao Meng, who was following behind his buttocks, Zheng Jing said very unceremoniously, this guy was still boasting to him a few days ago that he was going to fight for the development of the "Ming Constitutional Monarchy and Democratic Republic", but he didn't expect that just this morning, he suddenly asked Zheng Jing to bring him back, Nima thought this was a holiday to visit his hometown? Is it expensive to travel to?

Xiao Meng raised his head with his chest straight, squinted his eyes slightly, pretended to be unfathomable, and said with a smile: "Poor Dao watched the sky at night last night, and saw that you were going to have a catastrophe recently, so I came back to help you resolve it." ”

"I appreciate your kindness, but how did you look at the celestial phenomena of that plane and calculate that I will be in calamity in this universe? It feels so unscientific. ”

"Well, I'm not kidding you." Xiao Meng finally put on a serious look and asked Zheng Jing, "Do you know who the old man you went to see just now is?" ”

"An old leader of the military, what's wrong?" Zheng Jing was a little puzzled, not understanding what made Xiao Meng so nervous.

Xiao Meng shook his head: "You only know the identity of that old man, but you don't know that the old master almost died at his hands." According to my previous calculations, his yang life should be about to run out, so I didn't mention him to you, who knew that you had pulled this old guy who had already stepped into the Hades Hall with one foot in his hands again, and now I think there are some things that need to be reminded of you. ”

"That old man's name is Gao Jianguo, I think this name is very earthy, right? He is definitely not a simple character, back then I and the old master could not fully see through this person, first of all, he is not a bad person, the country we are in now can have his great credit in it, but you can't think that he is a good person, most of the things he did during his reign were officially listed as secrets that cannot be disclosed. The most important point is that the old master said that even a trade with the devil is much better than a trade with this guy! Do you want to continue to deal with him after knowing this? ”

Xiao Meng's warning made Zheng Jing stunned for a moment, the simple and easy impression that the old general Gao gave him when they first met was completely described by Xiao Meng, but after carefully recalling Zheng Jing, he found something worthy of his vigilance in the conversation just now.

The old man and Qin Xingwu just now showed him a gentle and tough performance, wasn't it the red-faced and black-faced strategy that he himself had used before? What exactly do they want to do?

Sure enough, it's not that simple, Zheng Jing began to be cautious, but his goal was still firm and unwavering, before Xiao Meng said this to him, Zheng Jing knew very well that he was seeking skin with the tiger this time, but what he wanted this time was worth the risk he had.
