Chapter 557: Business Trip
Zhang Xu, who was caught off guard and received a slap, had weak legs and almost knelt on the spot. At this moment, the big hand that patted him on the shoulder just now suddenly grabbed his shoulder and lifted it up, which made Zhang Xu not kneel.
"Why are your legs so weak?" A deep voice came from behind Zhang Xu, "Young man, you can't do this." โ
After Zhang Xu stood firmly, he turned his head with a black line and saw two white-haired old men in Mao suits standing behind him. One of them was the old man Zhao, while the other old man who was taking his hand back was not tall, only in his early sixties, but he was extremely strong, and it could be seen from his facial features that he was from the Mongolian steppe region.
"Master Tiger, I was injured a few days ago, and I haven't gotten better yet." Zhang Xu said to the short old man with a bitter face.
The old man who was called "Tiger Master" by Zhang Xu was called Sukhbaru, a monk from the Mongolian steppe. Because Sukhbaru means "tiger" in Chinese, Zhang Xu called him "Tiger Master". And Zhao Lao, who is more of the older generation, still calls him "Huzi" according to the name of nearly a hundred years ago.
Sukhbaru glanced at Zhang Xu, then at Furong on the side, and the next second, his face immediately changed to an expression of "I understand": "Well, I'll treat you as injured...... Ouch ......"
The old man Zhao on the side interrupted Su Hebaru's teasing of Zhang Xu with a standard whip leg, and he said: "Don't be old and indecent all day long, Xiao Zhang is really injured." โ
"Okay, okay, you're old, you have the final say." Sukhbaru made a gesture of surrender on the sidelines.
Zhang Xu watched the two old naughty boys who were more than two hundred years old playing there, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, even Furong was not surprised.
"Xiao Zhang, do you still want to go back to school for dinner later?" Elder Zhao asked.
Zhang Xu nodded, took out his crutches and replied, "I'm going to go back." โ
"Why are you going back so early, how good it would be to take a leave to accompany your daughter-in-law here, and we won't laugh at you." Sukhbaru said, "Do you have other daughters-in-law at school?" โ
Zhang Xu pretended not to hear.
At this time, Zhao Lao said to Zhang Xu: "You can stay here for dinner tonight, and I will help you ask for leave." โ
After Zhao Lao finished speaking, he took out a European-style wand.
"It's good to have a Patronus Charm on the European side."
โฐโฏยทยทยท โ
As the spell of the Patronus Charm fell, a large bird composed of silver-white light mist appeared in front of Zhang Xu and several of them, and after Zhao Lao said a few words to it to help Zhang Xu ask for leave, it jumped up and flew in the direction of Hogwarts.
"The old man is mighty!" Zhang Xu sighed on the side, "I didn't expect the ostrich guardian saint to fly so well, I'll study it another day to see if I can turn my panda into a flying panda." โ

"How do you pronounce these words?!"

The group walked into the building of Approaching Science's UK office in a noisy and noisy manner, and then sat down in the living room. There were a lot of people in the living room today, but now it was leisure time before dinner, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to brag and chat.
"Xiao Zhang, who is the one who guards Dumbledore's tomb?" Sukhbaru asked Zhang Xu solemnly.
"That's him." Zhang Xu nodded, "What's wrong?" โ
"Just now Uncle Zhao and I went to sweep Dumbledore's grave and met him." Sukhbaru replied.
"Oh?" Zhang Xu glanced at Sukhbaru with some surprise, "Master Tiger, why did you get involved with Dumbledore?" โ
"I planted it in his hands back then." Sukhbaru sighed and replied, "I didn't expect that when we saw each other, it turned out to be a farewell, and I thought I could get back to the field." โ
"Oh!" ร2
Zhang Xu had never heard anyone mention this matter before, so he looked at Sukhbaru with interest, and even Furong entered the gossip mode.
"Sne......er," Zhao Lao on the side said disdainfully, "You deserve it, your three brothers' little trick is mentioned on the steel plate." โ
At this time, Zhang Xu changed from the gossip mode to the black-lined mode, and he thought that Sukhbaru and Dumbledore had fought once, but Sukhbaru was defeated.
Sukhbaru has two brothers, and the three of them like to use the whole game when they drink with others together, which is the name of each other after drinking three bowls if you treat us as friends. His two brothers were named Sebuteng Baljur and Ulzheyitemur Erkebabai. As a result, they met Albus Percival Woolfrick Brian Dumbledore that day.
After finding out that things were not fun, Zhang Xu asked the two old men: "The two of you have always been in China, why did you come to the UK this time?" Are you here for a vacation? โ
"There's no such thing as a good thing." Zhao Lao shook his head and said, "We are on a business trip like a certain durian, we have been running around for the past few days, and we only took a little time to worship Dumbledore in the afternoon." โ
Fleur saw that the three of them were talking about business, and after saying a word, she left the living room to help out in the kitchen.
Zhang Xu ignored a certain fruit, and he asked in surprise: "You two pillars of the country are going to come to England on a business trip, do you want to help Lafayette suppress bandits?" โ
The two in front of him had seen Lafayette, and Sukhbaru even said: "This Lafayette in England is much more powerful than my cousin-in-law, and we don't need to help her suppress the bandits." โ
After Su Hebaru finished speaking, he glanced at the stunned Zhang Xu, and said triumphantly: "I don't seem to have told you kid that my ancestor is Qianlong's Gege." โ
Zhang Xu just wanted to admire it, but he suddenly remembered that he had recognized a more powerful godfather thousands of years ago, so he said "oh" and passed this stubble.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xu asked.
"We're here to take stock of the security situation in the UK." Zhao Lao said, "You should understand the rest." โ
Zhang Xu nodded, second understood. The only people who are qualified to let these two old revolutionaries who have played all the games on business trips are high-ranking officials. So he didn't ask for details very interestingly, the whereabouts of the high-level are confidential, and a water meter he checked in his last life was someone showing off the news on the Internet that the protagonist was going to inspect their unit three minutes before a news broadcast.
"Is there anything I need to cooperate with?" Zhang Xu asked.
"He went to walk around your school, but I desperately stopped him." Zhao Lao said casually.
He can talk casually, but Xiao Zhang can't listen casually. In the place of Hogwarts, Zhang Xu also learned afterwards that the former British Prime Minister had quietly come to visit after Dumbledore's funeral, and even Lafayette had never been here.
"I'm afraid that he won't give up and suddenly make demands on the British side." As the deputy chief of the security section of that place, Sukhbaru obviously knew more about that person's style.
"And the British side has something to ask for us, so maybe they will nod their heads. After all, they can't control your school, so they should sell their favors. Zhao Lao helplessly spread his hands.
"It's a big deal, when the time comes, I'll pull down my face and rely on the old man to sell the old and die." Zhang Xu felt that his brain hurt a lot today, and then he found a question, "Why does Britain have something to ask us?" โ
"We can't hide it in both countries." Mr. Zhao said, "Therefore, the high-level leaders of our two countries should communicate with each other and discuss some issues. More importantly, the UK has lessons to learn from us. โ
Zhang Xu has spent a lot of time abroad in the past few years, and his mind has been full of things from the UK recently, so his current mind has not turned a corner for a while.
He asked: "It's understandable that Britain is fighting a war and it's hard to hide, but what's the situation at home, and has the food from which restaurant gone to Wangfujing?" โ
Zhao Lao glanced at Zhang Xu helplessly and said, "What year is next year?" โ
"In 1998." Zhang Xu replied subconsciously. In the next second, he immediately reacted. "It seems that I really can't hide it then."
At this time, Zhang Xu finally realized the seriousness of the problem, it is now the last few years of the twentieth century, although it is not like twenty-one years later, almost everyone has a mobile phone that can take pictures, but compared with the twenty-first day in front of the almost exposed, the number of cameras on the people's mobile phones can be said to have doubled. Even if he gets away with it again this time, what about eleven years later? The post-internet news is almost indelible.
Do you want to tell the priests that everyone continues to hide, and everyone should not see the flesh and blood compatriots in the midst of natural disasters?
If someone really had to say such a thing, that man would lose if he didn't sink under the Mariana Trench five minutes later.
If the International Confederation of Wizards dared to jump out at this time and say this, their headquarters would not be demolished after forty-eight hours.
Internationally, if the people of other countries see that a group of "magicians" who only appear in legends appear almost simultaneously in countries at both ends of the Eurasian continent, and these two countries are not small countries that can be ignored, plus one of these two countries has been inherited for thousands of years, and the other has never set the sun, then what will the people of the world think?
Surprised, excited, or frightened?
Not only Zhang Xu, but even Elder Zhao, the elders and Lafayette are not sure.
Now, this problem is not just a high-level problem, but a problem that every alchemist needs to think about. In this great era, there is no place for everyone to live in seclusion, and how to face the future is the question that everyone has been thinking about the most recently.
The conversation between the three of them ended at the end of the comparison, Sukhbaru waved his hand, and there was a faint sound of something breaking in the air, which was the protective shield that separated the three of them from talking.
As the protective cover was removed, the flavors of sweet and sour tenderloin, shredded fish-flavored pork, braised pork ribs and Dongpo pork wafted from the restaurant.
