The end of the year is approaching, and the night is so dark everywhere. When Hanqian City gradually quieted down under the dark night, the streets of Yanjing were still full of traffic.

Late at night, in the Du family villa in Yanjing, a strange female guest came to Du Haitao's study.

"Simon Shuang'er?" Du Haitao snuffed out the cigar cigarette, looked at Ximen Shuang'er in front of him and smiled and said, "You have a lot of courage, but with such a little ability, you are ashamed to want to see me, isn't it a little self-sufficient!" ”

"Frost is a few pounds and a few taels, and my heart is still clear! I rushed from home this time, which actually means grandpa! Looking at this chief, who can only be seen on TV and in newspapers, Ximen Shuang'er is beating a drum in her heart, but her expression is natural and calm.

"Where is your grandfather?" Du Haitao was very repulsive to ancient martial arts talents, and when he heard Ximen Shuang'er talk about his grandfather, he frowned and said bluntly, "I don't like to talk around the corner, what purpose and plan do you have, you might as well say it directly!" ”

"The matter of you and Senmu competing for the No. 1 position is known to everyone in Huaxia. Sen Mu recently invited a group of knights from Europe to come back to assist him, my grandfather is a powerhouse at the peak of the Great Perfection of the Ground Rank, he can guarantee your personal safety before the election! ”

"Joke!" Du Haitao's huge body suddenly stood up from the sofa, pointed at Ximen Shuang'er and shouted, "You are alarmist here, aren't you too tender!" With your words, I can kill you right now! ”

"Your anger does not mean that you are shocked and wise, but it is a sign that you are weak and wise. There are nearly twenty knights hired by Senmu, whether these people will threaten your safety, Frost Er dare not say much, but just in case, this is always right! My grandfather is so old, he won't recommend himself to do things for you, so you don't have to show how disdain and anger you have, if you like to cooperate, you can talk, if you don't want to cooperate, I want to find someone with my grandfather's strength! Although Du Haitao is not a master of any rank, the sense of oppression formed by years of official authority still makes Ximen Shuang'er can't help but take a step back.

"I don't know the name of Old Man Ximen!" The look on Du Haitao's face remained unchanged, he paced with his hands behind his back, and carefully looked at Ximen Shuang'er in a simple dress from top to bottom. is similar to his daughter's age, and has such a bearing and calmness, even some of everyone's children can't do this.

"My grandfather's name is Ximen Honghiko!" Ximen Shuang'er said proudly with her head held high.

"Ximen Honghiko?" Du Haitao felt that the name was very unfamiliar, so he repeated it suspiciously, slowly walked to the sofa and sat down again, thought for a while and asked, "What about your grandfather?" weishenme He didn't come to see me, but sent you? ”

"I'm just a messenger, grandpa asked me to come, just to see your sincerity! The Chinese New Year is two days away, and my grandfather will come to Yanjing after the year! Ximen Shuang'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied crisply.

"Tell me about your conditions!" Du Haitao asked with some dissatisfaction.

"My grandfather won't come alone, there are two more masters of his time who are coming. The conditions are very simple, my grandfather wants to get the right to use a piece of cultivated land in Heilongjiang. As long as you put the right to use this land in the hands of my grandfather, then my grandfather will protect you until after the election! ”

"The right to use cultivated land?" Du Haitao looked at Ximen Shuang'er in surprise and said, "Do you want to dig the gold mine underground?" ”

"Chief Du is really joking. Where is there a gold mine in the poor countryside of Heilongjiang. The main trouble in this matter is not the question of price, but the fact that it is difficult for all the people of the cultivated land to be entangled, and we can't talk about it! ”

"You shouldn't come to me for this matter, you should go to the Minister of Land and Resources!" Du Haitao said happily, "Long'er, it's time to send off guests, I should rest!" ”

"Don't bother!" Ximen Shuang'er heard Du Haitao's eviction order, agreed, and walked quickly to the door of the study.

Du Haitao closed his eyes and ignored Ximen Shuang'er's departure. It wasn't until Du Rulong walked into the room again that Du Haitao slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad, am I being reckless?" Du Rulong stood respectfully beside his father and said in fear.

"Ximen Honghiko, do you know?" Du Haitao motioned for his son to sit down and speak, and asked in a deep voice.

"The shadow has been investigated, and in the last fifty or sixty years, Ximen Hongyan has not left the house! This time he suddenly wants to go out of the mountain, and many people of the older generation can't guess it! ”

"What do you think of the cultivated land that Ximen Shuang'er just said?" Du Haitao continued to ask.

"I don't know the specifics! I asked a few times, but Ximen Shuang'er didn't say what kind of cultivated land it was! Listening to what Ximen Shuang'er meant just now, the owner of that piece of land may be someone in our public security system. Otherwise, the Simon family would not take the initiative to find us and ask to cooperate with our Du family! Du Rulong cautiously analyzed.

"Have all the knights hired by Senmu arrived in Yanjing?"

"Zuihou a group of five people, arrived last night! I haven't seen Senmu have anything to do with people in Europe and the United States before, but this time I suddenly hired so many European private bodyguards, it was very sudden! ”

"Those so-called knights, are they really powerful?" Du Haitao said with some disdain, "Our special forces in Huaxia should not be worse than them!" ”

"These knights are equivalent to the late-stage powerhouses of our Huaxia Kingdom. Last time, Zhen Cheng had a tie with Hua Manlou, and that Hua Manlou was a paladin. This time, so many people hired by Sen Mu, although they are all knights, the security team of twenty people is enough to ensure the safety of Sen Mu, an old fox! And Europeans are good at using firearms, and in a critical year like the election, with the help of such people, Senmu can easily do a lot of things! ”

"Didn't Zhen Cheng win that Hua Manlou last time? How do you say the two are tied? Finding a loophole in his son's words, Du Haitao asked suspiciously.

"It's said that it's a tie, it's already a promotion of Zhen Cheng! According to Shadow's account, the events of that night were not as rumored. As soon as they fought, Zhen Cheng was passive everywhere, although the attack was fierce, Zhen Cheng did not take any advantage. Later, the two of them were suddenly wrapped in a big ice and snow ball, and the flowers were frozen in a daze, and Zhen Cheng won! ”

"It doesn't matter how the process is, the result is the most important! Speaking of which, it's still Zhen Cheng's victory, there's nothing to talk about! A battle itself is a comprehensive embodiment of the right time, place and people, and you can't always think that all the conditions are fair, that's unrealistic. I wasn't going to have any dealings with the ancient warriors, but Moriki suddenly hired so many knights to come back, and we really had to be wary. Times have changed, and many people no longer simply play cards according to the rules! Du Haitao said with a worried face.

"Since Dad wants to hire some ancient warriors, then Weishenme just now—"

"Simon Shuang'er is a messenger, a yellow-haired girl who thinks she is smart and has some skills, although she has a good mind, but I don't need to talk to someone who can't make decisions! If Ximen Hongyan really wants to cooperate with me, then he will definitely take the initiative to contact me after the Spring Festival! The piece of land they are anxious to get, you'd better get in touch with Ximen Shuang'er to get to the bottom of it! We can't do things that we don't know what we're sure of. In addition, you let the shadow stare at Ximen Shuang'er and investigate secretly to see if this Ximen Shuang'er has any connection with Senmu. We can't capsize in the gutter at this time! Du Haitao's voice was low and he arranged slowly.

"Okay, I'll go and tell the shadow later!" Du Rulong nodded hurriedly and said continuously.

"It's about to be the New Year, it's not good to stay outside like smoke, tell her to come back tomorrow!" Du Haitao's face was gloomy, and he sighed and said, "It's really a big girl, it seems that I should really talk to Bu Haiqiao!" ”

"Dad wants to see Bu Haiqiao?" A trace of shock flashed in Du Rulong's eyes, and he asked in surprise.

"What's all the fuss! This Bu Haiqiao is also a character, and he dared to get so close to Ruyan when he got out of prison, it seems that I really underestimated him at the beginning! ”

"What does Daddy mean—"

"I'm not busy for the time being, I'll wait until after the Spring Festival!" Du Haitao smiled, stood up and said, "It's been a year, and we should also have a lively time!" You're going to be ready to go out and stand alone for the New Year, so you have to be a little more diligent this year, and visit the people you should visit, whether they are young or young. ”

"Yes, the boy knows!" Du Rulong thought that he was going to work, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.

"Have you decided which department to work in?" Du Haitao was about to leave, but when he saw his son's respectful and excited appearance, he asked again.

"Ouyang Xuan'er is now the temporary political commissar of Han Mang, it is said that Mori Ye is going to go to the Eighth Bureau of National Security to snatch Ouyang Chang'an's position, Hou Ye has not moved yet, but I guess it should also be in the same vein as the military and police! If possible, I'd love to try it out in the Dragon Group! Du Rulong thought about the time when he was bullied by Zhen Cheng for Bai Lingsu, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he asked tentatively, "I don't know what my father thinks?" ”

"The dragon team can't be formed!" Du Haitao hahadaxiao said, "The place with a lot of people is lively, you also go to the Eighth Bureau of National Security!" ”

"National Security Eighth Bureau?" Du Rulong looked at the back of his father leaving, muttered, and was puzzled.
