Chapter 158: The Inside Story of the Kidnapping Incident
Hearing Shen You say this, Ding Xiu was also a little moved.
Because Yao Jianpan is an opponent for them who cannot be matched at present or even for a long time in the future, if Chen Jianing's grandfather can make a move, it will undoubtedly help everyone solve this big trouble.
"No, my grandfather can't do that." Chen Jianing shook his head, "Our Graylls' political system is a parliamentary system, the national parliament is divided into upper and lower houses, and the upper house is also divided into the south and the north. Yao Jianpan is a senior member of the House of Commons, and the western part is also the jurisdiction of the House of Commons, so grandpa can't manage it if it's inconvenient to manage it. ”
"In this way, Yao Jianpan is a snake in the west, and a strong dragon can't suppress him." Gu Beimo smacked his lips, his face a little solemn.
"Of course, the strong pressure can be suppressed, but the cost is too great, and the consequences are uncontrollable." Chen Jianing took Gu Beimo's words and continued: "The north and south houses of the upper house sit on most of the power of the country, and there is fierce competition between the two houses, and the lower house is the existence of balancing their relationship. If Grandpa makes a move against Yao Jianpan, he will inevitably make the House of Commons hold together and fall to the North Court, which will be unfavorable to the South Court to which we belong. ”
"I see." Song Xijun immediately understood the reason after she said this.
"It's complicated." Ding Xiu touched his head, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was still digesting the information he had just heard.
"Politics is inherently complicated." Chen Jianing nodded, "Don't worry, as long as you can help, my grandfather will not stand idly by, after all, he is a jealous and hateful person." ”
"I don't know how to thank you and your grandfather." Song Xijun knew that the Chen family had done their best to help her, and Chen Bin had even taken the risk of making enemies in the house, and her heart was filled with indescribable gratitude at the moment: "I...... I don't have anything right now, and I don't know how to repay you. ”
"Ding Xiu is my savior, you are Ding Xiu's friend, that is, my friend, that's enough." Chen Jia stared at her and said solemnly: "I don't allow my friends to bully others, and I don't allow my friends to be bullied." ”
"Jia Ning, we will all keep your words in our hearts." Ding Xiu nodded, and the other companions echoed.
"It is said that things gather like and people are grouped, I believe you." Chen Jianing smiled slightly and winked at Ding Xiu, "Let's go, go and see the room I arranged for you." ”
The Chen family's guest rooms are understated and luxurious, and they are almost a miniature version of the main house.
The rooms are located next to the main house and the two are connected by a path through the garden. As a duplex structure of the house, it is already in a semi-independent state.
Ding Xiu and others followed Chen Jianing to the living room of the guest room, and what caught their eyes was the coffee-colored sofa and the black coffee table.
The dining room and living room are planned together, and there are several very artistic decorative cabinets next to it, and the decoration on the walls around it is mainly neat and clean style, and all the furniture is very elegantly furnished.
When we visited the bedroom, everyone's eyes lit up again. A large south-facing window makes the space look very open, with the vegetation around the house and the bustling city streets beyond.
The location near the window is made into tatami mats, which not only makes good use of the space, but also allows residents to better enjoy the convenience and relaxation brought by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
There are a total of six such bedrooms, which is more than enough for Ding Xiu to live for four people.
"Wow, it's more advanced than the hotel we stayed in Nangang." Shen You was very pleasantly surprised, she originally thought that the guest room was just a separate house for sleeping, but where did she think that the Chen family would arrange a small building with a duplex structure.
"Everyone will live here first, if you are not used to it, I will ask someone to change your room." Chen Jianing said.
"Habit, habit, my old Gu has never lived in such a high-end house." Gu Beimo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his two hands kept rubbing together with joy.
"I'm going to bother your family next." Song Xijun looked at Chen Jianing and said gratefully.
"Sister Xijun, if you say that, you will see the outside. Everyone has come all the way to the Brilliant City, and it is just a matter of our duty to do the landlord's ceremony. Chen Jianing smiled, and asked Ding Xiu again: "Ding Xiu, are you really no longer thinking about going to Brilliant Academy to study?" ”
"I really want to go to the academy to study, but the front line needs me ......" Ding Xiu's heart was actually very entangled, but his will was extremely firm, "I am a soldier. ”
"I see." Chen Jianing nodded, feeling a little lost in her heart, she hid this emotion in her heart, and only showed it with a calm look, "Then you must be careful." ”
"Ding Xiu, are you going to the front?" Song Xijun and Shen You didn't know about this matter yet, both of them were shocked, and they looked at Ding Xiu with very puzzled eyes.
"Well, I was originally going to study at Brilliant Academy, but Jia Ning's grandfather said that the war on the Eastern Front was tight, and the country needed more excellent soldiers, so ......"
"Then we'll go with you." Song Xijun said without hesitation.
"This is not good, you have never been a soldier, and going directly to the front line is equivalent to sending you to death." Ding Xiu shook his head and resolutely denied the idea of his comrades, "When I was in the border guards, my comrades died almost every day, and this was still the Western Front with the least pressure of war, and the cruelty of war was unimaginable to all those who had not experienced it. ”
"But you're just here and you're leaving?" Shen You asked.
"It's not that I won't come back in the future, and when the war stops, I'll come back and go to Brilliant Academy to study."
"What if the war doesn't stop?" Shen You was unwilling and continued to ask.
Ding Xiu didn't answer her question, but just smiled, because the trend of the battle situation is not something that can be controlled by one person, and only when you win can there be peace, and if you lose, there will be nothing.
Gu Beimo suddenly remembered something, he looked at Chen Jia and asked, "I remember that Senior Chen seems to have said that your father is in charge of the Eastern Front?" ”
"yes, he often doesn't go home once in months." Chen Jianing nodded.
"Sitting on the Eastern Front, surnamed Chen, isn't it General Chen Haoran?!" Gu Beimo thought of this name and suddenly exclaimed.
"Have you heard of my father?" Chen Jianing was stunned.
"Of course I did." Gu Beimo's face turned red with excitement, and his excitement was overflowing: "God, he is the record holder of our youngest major general in Grells, and he also has the reputation of the future god of war." ”
"You're talking too badly about my father." Hearing the praise of her father from others, Chen Jianing's heart was both happy and proud, but her excellent tutoring made her always maintain a natural humility.
"However, the army of the Elbrand Empire is quite afraid of my father, they have suffered frequent setbacks at the hands of my father, and the Eastern Front has always been a hurdle that they cannot overcome." Chen Jianing said and looked at Ding Xiu again, and said, "Ding Xiu, do you remember those black-clothed people who arrested me in Luxu Town?" ”
"Of course I do." Ding Xiu nodded.
"My grandfather later sent someone to investigate, and those people were all bought by the Elbrand Empire, and they were mixed in some remote towns, specializing in shady things, and it is likely that they also colluded with a few local governments."
"What?! This group of bitches raised things, this is treason. Gu Beimo scolded, with a look of indignation, "What happened to those people?" ”
"I don't know, they should all be dead." Ding Xiu thought for a moment, "They chased us into the desert, and then everyone encountered a sandstorm, Jia Ning and I narrowly escaped, and those people were gone. ”
"Damn, they're cheap." Gu Beimo gritted his teeth, he only hated that those people were not in front of him, otherwise he would have to tear a few apart.
"You know what? You saved me, but not just me, but you also ruined the Elbrand Empire's conspiracy against the Eastern Front. Chen Jianing thought of the experience of almost falling into the hands of the enemy country at that time, and still had lingering palpitations: "Those traitors who were bribed knew my identity, and after capturing me, they were ready to find a place to transfer, and then quietly take me to the Elbrand Empire. If I fall into the hands of the Elbrand Empire, they will inevitably threaten my father, and in this case, it may affect the situation on the Eastern Front......"
"So, it was really dangerous!" Ding Xiu never knew that there would be such deep water behind Chen Jianing's kidnapping in Luxu Town, and now he can only be glad in his heart, glad that he did not hesitate to save this girl at that time.
Everyone chose their own rooms, and sat down in the living room to talk about the past. Chen Jianing knew that Ding Xiu had already made up his mind to go to the front line, so he no longer persuaded him, but planned to quietly send a letter to his father, asking his father to take more care of Ding Xiu on the front.
"Miss, the old lady has prepared a meal, please come over and eat." A servant came to the duplex building where Ding Xiu and the others were staying, and brought news that they were ready to start the meal.
"Let's go." Chen Jianing greeted everyone: "My grandmother's cooking skills are amazing, Huaiyu and Zhixi come over every weekend to eat her dishes." ”
"Okay, I'm a little hungry." Everyone readily agreed.
"What about the silver coins?" Shen You asked.
"Silver coins are vegetarians, right?" Chen Jianing thought for a while, and her eyes lit up, "Then give it fruit, supplemented by some greens or leaves." ”
"Okay. But...... Sister Jia Ning, how do you know that Yincoin is only vegetarian? Shen You was very satisfied with Chen Jianing's arrangement, and at the same time was a little curious about Chen Jianing's knowledge of the eating habits of silver coins.
"It's all in books, and it's not profound, I've seen it in books, so I remember it." Chen Jianing smiled, pointed to the bookcase in the living room and said, "There are also many books here, you can read them at will when you are free." ”
"Now we can't travel thousands of miles, so let's read thousands of books." Gu Beimo touched Shen You's head as he spoke: "Especially you, Xiaoyou, you have to read more books in the future." ”
