The road in front of it is only unbearable through Yazong, and the car can not be talked about in front of it, but it is only chaotic to go to the mouth.

So, Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan took the birthday gift from the car, left the road, and passed through the field full of wild flowers and weeds.

"It's a great place to retreat." Xiong Chengji praised.

Zhang Taiyan shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate to say that it is inappropriate, this is actually the place where the hidden dragon is in the abyss, if it is not the hidden dragon, how can you look at this heroic land?" Zhao Zhenhua has a good vision, but his ambition is too strong. The competitiveness is too strong. ”

Xiong Chengji was a little speechless, Zhang Taiyan said very reasonably, this is indeed not a place to live in seclusion, but a place to plot a conspiracy, the beauty of the paradise is just an illusion to deceive the world again, and now, the hundreds of military tents have indeed destroyed the peace of the paradise, and the sound of bamboo reveals more than the comfort of art, Xiong Chengji even heard a faint murderous aura from this music.

Soon close to the first military tent, now the weather is still hot, the tent is ventilated on all sides, standing outside can see everything clearly, Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan stopped for a moment, took a closer look, and found that the people sitting inside are basically veterans, they are wearing all kinds of military uniforms, sitting in the tent with their families talking, there are tea and snacks on the table, some veterans with armbands are responsible for serving water tea here, from time to time you can hear the shouting of five and six, that is someone is gambling.

No matter from which point of view, this is the most traditional Chinese birthday banquet, even the gramophone, the music played in the tape recorder is also traditional Chinese music and drama, the Northeast Errenzhuan, Henan's Bangzi, Peking Opera, Cantonese Opera, Hui Opera, all kinds of repertoire can be heard, if you feel that just listening to the drama is not enjoyable, those military tents are sandwiched between a few high stages, on which all kinds of dramas are performed, standing on the side of the stage, you can feast your eyes, and you can even see a lot of Peking Opera celebrities, speaking of which, to the commander-in-chief, There is also light on this face, and the actors present are all very hard-working, and they all show their housekeeping skills, and bursts of applause break out from time to time under the stage.

If you have to use an adjective to describe the atmosphere of the scene, then the most appropriate word should obviously be "noisy", which makes Zhang Taiyan, who is used to a quiet life, not very adaptable.

"It's very rustic, I wonder how those reporters will report on the scene here?"

Zhang Taiyan glanced at several foreign reporters who were taking pictures not far away, and then at the Chinese reporters standing further away, and he suddenly understood why Zhao Bei was holding this birthday banquet in such a high-profile manner.

This is telling Chinese and foreigners, "Far Eastern madmen, they are going to reappear." Zhang Taiyan said.

"I wonder if the envoys of various countries have also received invitations? They wouldn't be sitting in a tent, would they? ”

Xiong Chengji guessed, and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw several magnificent domed tents, obviously not ordinary military tents, the volume was extraordinarily large, almost as large as the largest conference hall in the Congress.

"Most of them are sitting in those big tents, and this time Zhao Zhenhua is entertaining guests, which is ingenious and different, and it must be to impress people." Zhang Taiyan speculated.

The two stood here for a while, and then the master of ceremonies stepped forward to greet them, and when they heard that the two of them had signed up for their own numbers, they hurriedly summoned a car and instructed the driver to pull the two up the mountainside, and go to the mansion to worship the old birthday star first.

I just took this car up the hill. Stopped the car in the parking lot, and after getting out of the car, Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan took a look, there were still many acquaintances standing in the parking lot, respectively from the political, military, economic, and educational circles, and they were all leaders in related fields, quite a bit of the flavor of the Xishan Heroes.

Everyone came to pay homage to the old birthday star, and when they met, they inevitably said hello to each other, Xiong Chengji is a republican hero, Zhang Taiyan is a national player of the article, they are all famous figures, and everyone is inevitably curious, what is the birthday gift in the hands of the two?

"Secrecy for the time being, secrecy for the time being. When the time comes, you'll know what's in here. Zhang Taiyan apologized, and hugged the briefcase tighter, which not only contained a birthday gift, but also a painting written by Zhang Taiyan, but this word was not given to the old birthday star, but to Zhao Bei.

Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan were polite with people, but Qin Sihu, the captain of Xiao Zhaobei's guard, hurriedly walked up to the two, glanced at Xiong Chengji, said hello, and then said.

"Mr. Xiong, the commander-in-chief has instructed that if you come, please go to the garden first, he has something to discuss with you."

"What about me?" Zhang Taiyan asked.

Qin Sihu shook his head and said, "The commander-in-chief didn't specifically order you to go over with him. ”

This is a refusal, Zhang Taiyan is also interested, he didn't care, he took the briefcase in Xiong Chengji's hand, nodded, and said: "Weigen, you go over and see what he has to say to you." ”

Xiong Chengji also nodded, and Shi Qin Sihu said, "Please lead the way." ”

Follow Qin Sihu out of the parking lot and come to the garden next to it, there are two armed guards standing at the gate of the garden, seeing that Qin Sihu arrived, he didn't ask, so he let them go into the garden, Qin Sihu took Xiong Chengji to a wing room on the east side of the garden, and personally served him tea and snacks.

"Please sit here for a while, Mr. Xiong, the commander-in-chief is receiving foreign guests in the living room, and I will go and tell him now that you are here, and he will come and talk to you soon."

After speaking, Qin Sihu left first. Xiong Chengji sat alone in the wing, holding tea and looking at the layout in the room.

The traditional Chinese-style wing room, to the style of the Western-style villa is very different, the wing room is also lit with incense, the fragrance is a little quiet, but it is a quiet place, if there is anything missing, it is the two guards standing outside the door, the military uniform is neat, and the box cannon is hung on the waist, which destroys the elegance of the place somewhat.

Xiong Chengji saw a painting hanging on the wall. Ran is. Erren's picture of the howling in the commander's hall, the head of the painting is boiled in vain, on the ancient thousand mountains and streams, and on a thousand rocks, although it is not majestic, but because it occupies most of the picture, it is also on the paper.

This painting was made by Xu Shichang himself, in fact, Zhao Bei sent an adjutant to Xu Shichang to grind and soak it, Xu Shichang worked in landscape painting, but painting tigers is indeed not his forte, Xiong Chengji was also a little strange at that time, I don't know why Zhao Bei had to Xu Shichang to paint this tiger roar picture.

Come on now. I'm afraid that Zhao Bei has a deep meaning in this move, and he seems to want to tell Beiyang politicians in this way that Xu Shichang has been his this. The "madman" subdued and used this simple method to show his strength to the Beiyang Group in order to stabilize the political situation.

Zhao Bei does every thing. Always containing a clear purpose, this man is indeed a pretty good politician, and few people can fight him head-on.

"The commander's hall has been abolished, and this painting is still there, and the meaning of it is self-evident."

Xiong Chengji was a little helpless, so he had to shake his head, and was about to stand up and walk to the painting to study the inscription on it carefully, but before he could get up, a puppy suddenly ran in from outside the door, ran to Xiong Chengji, looked up, and then crawled down at Xiong Chengji's feet.

Xiong Chengji smiled, this puppy's body hair is very smooth, and it is also very clean, there is no doubt that this Fengding must be a dog in the mansion, not to mention that ordinary wild dogs are breaking into the mansion, even if it is very difficult to go up the mountain, there are many vigilances on the way up the mountain.

Xiong Chengji picked up a piece of pastry and threw it to the puppy, and then he heard a playful voice outside the door.

"Who are you? Why are you sitting here? This puppy doesn't eat snacks, he likes to eat apples the most. ”

The person who spoke was a young girl, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with short hair to her ears, wearing a long Western-style dress, a pair of black leather shoes on her feet, polished very well, and holding a book in her hand, but it was too far away to see what it was.

The girl in front of him reminded Xiong Chengji of his daughter, who was also so cute at this age, so Xiong Chengji bent down, picked up the puppy, then stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the girl with a smile.

"My Xiong Chengji is here as a guest. Who are you? Is this puppy yours? ”

"Ahh You are Uncle Xiong, I remember, I have seen your appearance in the photo, my father said, he was also your pioneer officer back then, and the photo was taken in Wuhan. This puppy is not mine, it's my sister's, and it's called Flowey. As for me, you can call me by my nickname, Azhi, that's what Daddy always called me. ”

The girl's words made Xiong Chengji stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood.

"Are you Zhao Zhenhua's daughter? The smallest one. Right? Your sister's name is Xiaoya, right? ”

Although Xiong Chengji is in Nanyang, he also cares about domestic affairs, and he also knows that Zhao Bei has two sons and two daughters, and the girl in front of him is obviously Zhao Bei's youngest daughter.

"That's right."

The girl nodded and looked up. stared curiously at Xiong Chengji's eyes, those black eyes were clear and bright.

Xiong Chengji smiled, handed the puppy to the girl, and said, "Ah Zhi, this is the first time we have met, and Uncle Xiong will give you a meeting gift anyway." ”

After speaking, he touched his pocket, but he didn't touch anything, so he patted his head and said, "In the briefcase, I'll give it to you when I go back." ”

The girl said "um" and was about to speak, but she heard someone shouting in the garden.

"Miss, you're hugging the dog again, and you've soiled your clothes, and the lord is going to talk about you again! Put it down, put the puppy down! ”

Before the words fell, the person had rushed to the front, but it was a middle-aged maid who snatched the puppy, patted the placket on the girl's chest, and then looked at Xiong Chengji, who was stunned on the side.

"Where did this book come from? How is it a foreign word? ”

The maid saw the book printed in foreign language in the girl's hand, and asked slowly.

"This is an anthology of modern French poetry, and I bought it myself." The girl said with her eyes wide open.

"I don't believe it. That's what you said last time, but Madame later found out that you were reading nonsense, and she scolded me. This time I won't fall for you, I'm going to take this book to Madame first. ”

As she spoke, the maid reached for the book, but the girl ducked away.

"Auntie, you're going to snitch again! People don't pay attention to you. ”

The girl's mouth was cocked, and she turned her head and ran, but she bumped into a person at the entrance of the garden and almost fell, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was her father Zhao Bei.

"Daddy."

"Hmm. Look at the point when you walk, don't run around, fortunately it bumped into me, if it bumped into your grandfather, then it wasn't you who stumbled. Zhao Bei snorted, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found the French book, so he snatched the book from his daughter's hand with lightning speed, looked at it, and suddenly crooked his nose angrily.

"Good fellows! "Selected Modern French Love"? Ah Zhi, honestly, where did this mess come from? ”

"I bought it myself! And it's not messy, it's serious, much more elegant than the ones you see. ”

The girl was a little aggrieved, and her mouth was curled, and she was about to cry.

"Bought it yourself? You can't buy it yourself! How old are you? What do you know about love? If you don't read "Water Margin", women don't read "West Chamber", if it's messy, I'll send you to the United States, go to boarding school, and you won't be allowed to return to China within five years! This, I confiscated. ”

"You are feudal paternalism! I'm going to find my mom to do justice! ”

The girl snorted, turned around and ran away with the puppy.

Zhao Bei snorted, and as soon as he threw the book to Qin Sihu, he heard Xiong Chengji's voice.

"Zhenhua, your tutor is very strict."

Zhao Bei looked up, but saw that Xiong Chengji was already standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle call, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) ）
