Chapter 1142 The layout before the storm

That night, Lao Shoudao visited the old patriarch of Lin Village, although he didn't know what he was talking about, but from the trembling hands and choked voice when the old patriarch sent Lao Shoudao out of the hotel, he could feel the sincere emotions of both parties. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info saw Lao Shoudao leave, the old patriarch found Lin Xiaoran and Lin Xiaotong sisters, and gave each of them a jade bottle, which is said to be the secret Taoist "Dingyan Dan", which is only a few in existence today, which is extremely precious, enough to witness An Yi's intentions.

Lin Xiaoran and Lin Xiaotong sisters were a little disappointed, what they needed was not expensive gifts, nor verbal agreements, but An Yi's own performance and promise, and now they actually gave themselves such an inexplicable thing, and the two sisters even felt a kind of disgust from the bottom of their hearts.

It turned out that the Lin sisters were very uninterested in this legendary "elixir". After many years in the United States, through in-depth knowledge of nature, chemistry and physics, they know that most of the so-called elixirs in Chinese Taoism are made of mercury, sulfur and other substances, which not only do not help the human body, but are very harmful. When the sisters saw Lu Xun, Guo Moruo and others calling for the banning of traditional Chinese medicine in newspapers and periodicals on the boat, they also clapped their hands and applauded.

However, the authority of the old patriarch was unquestionable, and seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the second daughter opposed her in public, and even began to cry, and couldn't help but be furious, and asked the family law out on the spot, and let the torture hall personnel be in place. The Lin sisters had never seen their grandfather so strict, and they were very frightened, and between killing them on the spot or choosing to take medicine, the second daughter wisely chose the latter.

When the pill with a green body and an attractive fragrance was placed on the jade palm, every cell in the body seemed to be awakened, and the whole person suddenly became refreshed, and the two girls who were kneeling on the ground with tears on their cheeks suddenly had a trace of confidence in this pill in their hearts.

Lin Xiaotong and Lin Xiaoran glanced at each other, and under the stern gaze of the old patriarch, they finally bravely put the pill in their mouths.

Mouthful, full of fragrance!

The pill the size of a dragon's eye melted quickly after being imported and quickly swallowed into the stomach. Lin Xiaoran let out a "ah" and said to Lin Xiaotong, who was kneeling beside him, "Sister, what is this made of?" It's delicious! ”

Lin Xiaotong turned his head sideways, his soft tongue *** his lips, and nodded: "There are some doorways, which may be made with gelatin, pearl powder, seaweed powder and other things, plus flavors and pigments, so it has such an effect." Now I'm worried that it won't be clean enough and I'll have stomach upset when I make it. ”

Lin Xiaoran was a little disappointed: "Oh, it can't really be these things, right?" I still hope that there will be some kind of fixing pill, so I don't have to worry about not being beautiful in the future! ”

Lin Xiaotong flattened his mouth: "Where are those things, if there are really them, just such a pill is estimated to be worth millions of dollars, I don't know how many people in this world want to stay young forever, and the rich are the most willing to spend money for their own bodies......"

At this time, other unrelated people have consciously retreated. The old patriarch paused on the ground with his cane and scolded:

"What do the two girls say? Brother Lao is the respected elder of General An, and he is also the spokesperson of Taoism in the world, and his status is respected, how can he deceive people? It's you two little girls, I don't know what you've learned in the United States, you don't know what to do at all, and you have nothing to do with virtuous and virtuous people, no wonder you can't capture a man's heart! ”

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two granddaughters, the old patriarch softened: "Okay, okay, you guys get up quickly, since you have taken the medicine, then my agreement with Brother Dao is half completed, and then it depends on your fate and creation." I hope you can keep in mind that the reason why Lin Village is where it is today is certainly due to the joint efforts of everyone, but the premise is General An's selfless help. We Lin Cun people are loyal to filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and we must not throw away these traditions in our hands, otherwise how will we go to see our ancestors in the future? ”

Lin Xiaoran and Lin Xiaotong quickly stood up and came to their grandfather's side, one on each side, holding the old patriarch's shoulder. Lin Xiaoran said coquettishly:

"Grandpa, General Lin is kind to us, we can support him in our career, why use us to marry? Look at it, we came to Syria in person this time, and he didn't even give him a chance to contact alone, what kind of thing is it? I don't want to put my hot face on someone else's cold ass......"

Lin Xiaotong echoed again and again: "Yes, grandpa, I think he clearly looks down on us, so he won't mention this matter again in the future, we won't get married, and we'll always serve your old man, do you think it's okay?" ”

The old patriarch shook his head: "No, people can't stand without faith, since I have made an appointment with Brother Dao, this matter cannot be changed." General An is worried about the world, I heard that the reason why he left the table at noon today is because the *** people have increased their troops in North China again, and General Hu, the general under his command, is in North China, so he must personally sit in the headquarters and pay attention to every move of the Japanese army. Seeing that a major war between China and Japan is about to break out, at this critical juncture, it is completely understandable and even admirable that General An has no intention of having a personal relationship with his children. ”

Lin Xiaoran pouted: "Then it won't even give you a chance to meet and make friends, right?" I think he's clearly avoiding us! ”

The old patriarch laughed, touched Xiao Ran's face, and turned to Lin Xiaotong again: "Xiao Tong, Xiao Ran, what kind of behavior do you say ordinary men behave in the face of you two sisters?" ”

Lin Xiaoran said proudly: "Those men are all perverts, they were all fascinated when they first met, sometimes they couldn't even speak, I even saw someone peeking at me when touching a telephone pole, hehe......"

Lin Xiaotong echoed: "That's right, especially when we are together, those men are even more unbearable. On the way back this time, I don't know how many men wanted to talk to us, but we ignored them! ”

The old patriarch nodded: "You see, you are so beautiful and moving, you are so lethal to men, and you don't count your reputation, if ordinary people have the opportunity to marry you, I am afraid that they would have already broken the threshold of my family, where will they still fulfill their duties like General An?" This is a hero of great benevolence and righteousness, and a good man worthy of being entrusted for life! Your grandfather and I have traveled from south to north, and I don't know how many heroes I have seen, but it is the first time I have seen a person like General An. Cherish your fate! ”

Lin Xiaoran just wanted to distinguish a few words, but suddenly his face turned red: "Oops, my stomach hurts!" It's over, that pill is really not clean, I have diarrhea! ”

Lin Xiaotong's face also changed greatly: "Oops, I also have a stomachache!" Grandpa, you're killing us this time! ”

The old patriarch laughed happily: "This means that the effect of the medicine has taken effect. The legendary Dingyan Pill has the function of cutting hair and washing the marrow, and the impurities and filth in the body need to be excreted, and in the next half month, you will be busy! ”

The two sisters were running towards the toilet, and when they heard their grandfather's words, they were skeptical, but they didn't dare to slow down for half a minute, otherwise they would be embarrassed.

Like the Lin sisters, Gong Qian frequently ran to the toilet, causing An Yi to get a notice from Wu's mother and make a special trip back from the headquarters to visit.

Gong Qian was in Ai Ai, An Yi thought that the wedding banquet at noon was not clean at first, and in annoyance, he wanted to call the manager of Sanjiang Restaurant to ask what was going on, Gong Qian hurriedly stopped it, and shyly told the fact that she had taken the "Dingyan Pill" refined by the old way, which made An Yi cry and laugh.

Although he is grateful and respectful to the old Taoist from the bottom of his heart, and fully trusts the Taoist medical skills, An Yi has always been respectful of the old Taoist Shinto. Having witnessed rockets into space and moons landing on the moon, he has never believed in the myths of gods and ghosts. "Dingyan Dan" is something that can only appear in fairy and ghost novels, he doesn't believe that the old way can make it, so he can only shake his head and smile bitterly, hug Gong Qian, and pinch the tip of her nose with pity:

"Sister, you are so stupid, how can my brother stop loving you because you are old? In my eyes, my sister Qian has always been so beautiful, and there will be no change now and in the future. ”

After that, An Yi kissed Gong Qian's red lips affectionately.

Gong Qian was very moved, and just wanted to give a fragrant kiss, but her stomach hurt again, and she quickly broke free from An Yi's arms, pointed to the toilet with a wry smile, and then ran away, leaving An Yi dumbfounded.

When she came back from the toilet, Gong Qian resolutely drove An Yi away, she didn't want her beloved man to see her like this. But it's also strange to say, it stands to reason that a person who has continuous diarrhea will become very poor in spirit, and the skin will lose its luster due to dehydration, but this time I don't know why, the skin seems to have become a lot smoother, and when I look in the mirror, I see that the crow's feet at the corners of my eyes are gone, and my cheeks are ******white and red, like a finely carved porcelain doll, which gives people a feeling of unreality.

An Yi returned home, and in the afternoon, Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian led the generals of the 24th Army and the 26th Army respectively, and went back to Yichang and Simao. An Yi thought about it, and simply called Ah Biao and asked him to come to the house for a gathering.

After nearly a decade of development, the Hung Hing Society has become the largest association in Southeast Asia, and the cities of Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok, Yangon, Sin Chau, Palembang, Jakarta, Surabaya, Mazen, Makassar, Manila, etc., have all been infiltrated by the Hung Hing Society, which seeks huge profits by selling drugs, counterfeit money, smuggling arms, cigarettes, medicines, etc.

Hong Xingshe paid special attention to establishing good relations with the colonial government, and its bribery methods were varied: today a certain official gave a large amount of money on his birthday, and tomorrow he felt that the official's apartment was seriously inconsistent with his respected status, so he immediately offered a luxurious villa, supporting daily necessities and household appliances, etc., and the day after tomorrow he thought that there was no hostess in the villa, so he sent a carefully selected and simply trained local beauty...... With such a skill, a colonial official bid farewell to the hard life of receiving a salary and lived a luxurious life, so he naturally turned a blind eye to the existence of Hongxing Society, and opened the door to convenience.

As the Japanese invasion approached, various arrangements to deal with the crisis began to be made.

In An Yi's conception, Ah Biao and his Hongxing Society are very crucial, and when the situation changes, they might as well break into the colonial government and use their friendly relations with the Japanese army to act as a protective umbrella for the Nanyang Chinese.

Long before positioning what position Hongxing Society will take in the future anti-Japanese cause, Lu Kaiming's South China Group has taken the first step, through Hong Kong's special status as a global trade *** port, South China Group and Taiwan, *** established business contacts, and then through cooperation with Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Yasuda Co., Ltd., Lu Kaiming, a Chinese with the title of British knight, entered the sight of *** military and political circles, and was praised by *** intelligence agencies as "the biggest discovery in southern China".

Since the establishment of the South China Group, it has deliberately severed the connection with An Yi and the Jiangnan Group, after several months of investigation, it was confirmed that the enterprise group, which occupies a pivotal position in the Hong Kong economy, is clean and innocent, and its owner Lu Kaiming has a great impression of the Great Empire, believing that the common prosperity of Greater East Asia can promote the overall progress of China, and it is a very rare "enlightened person", so the government and the Ministry of Military Affairs have increased their efforts to envelop and An Yi's plan has taken initial effect.

Now, Ah Biao is another guarantee of this plan, a useful supplement to Lu Kaiming, so although he has discussed it secretly many times before, now An Yi still wants to talk to Ah Biao about his thoughts. Hong Kong's important position, historical environment, and complex multinational relations are destined to be an important strategic goal that Anyi Group must not give up.
