Chapter 31 It's Not a Broken Sleeve
Zhao Mingcheng meant to let Zhao Zhu take on the security task of the prince, but in fact, everyone knew that unless the army was used, it was estimated that it would be difficult for an individual person to pose any threat to the life and safety of the prince, so Zhao Zhu was not very concerned about this errand, and the next day he didn't even die in a mountain villa where the prince was arranged to live, but took a taxi and went directly to Du's house.
Although he and Du Xiaohui don't have much deep feelings, Du Xiaohui once wanted to use himself as a knife, but others did push him in the back, and he was actually not thin on himself, and he also provided a lot of help to himself;
Zhao Zhu wanted to contact Liu Xi, but Liu Xi's mobile phone has not been answered, and he doesn't know whether he really can't answer it or deliberately doesn't want to answer Zhao Zhu's call, in Zhao Zhu's opinion, the latter is more likely.
Since Du Xiaohui became seriously ill, Liu Xi's attitude towards himself, Zhao Zhu has actually felt something, the group that was originally gathered around Du Xiaohui, with the retreat of the big tree Du Wenhu to the third line, and with Du Xiaohui's life, it finally came to the day of falling apart.
Before going to Du's house, Zhao Zhu didn't know the news that Du Xiaohui had died of illness, he had been fighting in Toulon, and he had very little contact with the earth, and he had cut off contact with Du Xiaohui's side recently.
However, after seeing the two white lanterns at the door of Du's house, Zhao Zhu was slightly surprised, was he really dead?
The young man who started coughing and vomiting blood when they first met was really dead.
It seems that he should have died a long time ago, but it is still a little surprising that he died like this.
Inexplicably, a touch of melancholy appeared in Zhao Zhu's heart, such a smart person died so young. I have to say, it's still a pity.
What kind of person is Du Wenhu, Zhao Zhu has seen, a person with strong business ability, he is definitely an expert in coordinating and leading troops, but he is too upright in dealing with people, and he is only good at doing things and not good at being a man, which is impossible for a long time, and it is even difficult to really climb up. Especially in China's political and social environment, which is more focused on human relationships.
Du Wenhu's most glorious period was not when he joined the army to fight during the Great Era, but when he led the GN Army to win the Toulon War with Kane after the Great Era, Du Wenhu almost reached the most glorious apex of his life for a while, but it was also during that period that his youngest son Du Xiaohui also fell into a dying moment, and he was awake for less than three or four days a month.
Therefore, Du Wenhu, who was at the peak of his life, soon fell into a kind of passivity and was suppressed. The third line of internal retreat is basically to remove all power and send it to the elderly.
If Du Xiaohui was still healthy at that time and still kept his sobriety, with his ability and mind. Help your father take a detour, maybe the ending will not be so bleak, not seeking to rush forward, but it will not be so completely retreated. But there are many things that are not said to be ifs, especially now that Du Xiaohui is dead.
On the guard's side, Zhao Zhu showed his ID. After seeing that Zhao Zhu was actually a major, several guards immediately saluted Zhao Zhu, but Zhao Zhu didn't bother to return the salute, just nodded calmly.
Ten minutes later, the doorman received a call, and one of them led Zhao Zhu inside.
The Du family's mansion and the Zhao family can't be compared, it looks very cold, and the area is also very small, but it looks exquisite, but with the retreat of the head of the family, Du Wenhu, and the death of the young master Du Xiaohui, this originally very beautiful military gate valve has also had a touch of people's tea and cool meaning at this time, and it can no longer be described as quiet, but can be described as bleak.
Du Wenhu did not meet Zhao Zhu in the house, Zhao Zhu was taken directly to the backyard by the security guards, and Du Wenhu was sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake fishing for fish at this time.
With a pot of tea and a bowl of dates beside him, drinking tea while fishing for fish, chewing dates in his mouth, this little life is not like an old man who has just fallen from the pinnacle of power, nor is it like a father who has just experienced the pain of a white-haired person, but like an old man who retires and retires.
The security guard stopped by the lake, and Zhao Zhu came to the pavilion through a path, and when Zhao Zhu stood behind Du Wenhu, Du Wenhu said:
"I didn't expect you to come to see me."
After Du Wenhu finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I really didn't expect it." ”
"Just to come and see, where is Xiaohui buried?"
"Behind the rockery over there." Du Wenhu waved the fishing rod lightly, and a carp was directly hooked up and landed in the pavilion, Du Wenhu got up, grabbed the fish and put it in the bamboo basket, and then said to Zhao Zhu: "Do you want me to take you there?" ”
"No, can I go by myself?"
"Yes, yes." Du Wenhu sat back in his original position, turned his back to Zhao Zhu, hung up the bait, and then threw the hook into the water again, "I can also rest, by the way, clean the cemetery a little, no one has gone to worship for a while, there must be some fallen leaves and dead grass there." ”
At this moment, Du Wenhu has the shadow of a half-point commander on his body, like a leisurely fisherman.
Zhao Zhu didn't care if Du Wenhu really saw it, or if he was deliberately putting on a show, he just wanted to go to Du Xiaohui's grave to burn incense, the Du family is now down, how can he Zhao Zhu be unavoidable?
When I first met Du Wenhu, Zhao Zhu also followed behind the old general, putting on a posture of a small character, and now, it seems a little lukewarm, in the final analysis, it was Du Xiaohui who helped Zhao Zhu, not the old general, so Zhao Zhu didn't have much sympathy for this old man who was also broken in his frustrated family.
Zhao Zhu walked out of the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and then walked to the side of the rockery.
The manor of the Du family is very small, and the rockery is naturally not big, but the shape of the rockery is very specific, there is a little bit of taste that can be tasted, Zhao Zhu looked at it while walking, and actually found that there are brush words on some stones, although they have faded because of the polishing of the wind and rain, but they can still be seen vaguely.
Bypassing the rockery, Zhao Zhu saw a tomb in the shadow position behind the rockery, the tomb is not very large, but it also looks exquisite, not the kind of soil tomb in the countryside, it has two tombstones behind a tomb, showing an arched semicircular structure.
And this tomb has two burial chambers, one has been filled, and the other is vacant, if nothing else, it is reserved for Du Wenhu to use in the future, and the two of them plan to bury together as neighbors in the future.
There are incense candles and paper money in front of the tombstone, and there are also traces of being worshiped here, but Zhao Zhu should have come back late, so now only he comes to worship.
After lighting three sticks of incense, Zhao Zhu inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then stood in front of the tombstone.
There are no photos on the tombstone, only lettering, which is very in line with Du Xiaohui's consistent character.
Zhao Zhu remembered that the first time he and Du Xiaohui met was in a bar, Zhao Zhu just came to Nanjing that day, and went out with his soldiers, and after coming out, he met Liu Xi who was waiting for him, and then Liu Xi drove himself to see Du Xiaohui.
In fact, there are very few face-to-face meetings between Zhao Zhu and Du Xiaohui, but both sides know that there is a connection between each other, and Du Xiaohui cultivates Zhao Zhu as the future figure of his political group, but it is a pity that this political group has no future.
Zhao Zhu didn't go to burn paper money, nor did he do anything else, just stood in front of the tombstone, and then, he picked up the broom on one side and cleaned the area around Du Xiaohui's tombstone, and put the broom aside after cleaning, Zhao Zhu reached out and patted it on the tombstone, his eyes were a little moist, and his expression was a little choked, showing that his mood fluctuations at this time were still obvious.
Finally, with a long sigh of relief, Zhao Zhu turned around and left here, and when he passed the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Zhao Zhu saw that Du Wenhu was already leaning on the pillar in the small pavilion as if he was asleep;
Zhao Zhu didn't make a sound, and walked over directly, the security guard of the Du family's house arranged a special car for Zhao Zhu to send Zhao Zhu back, this is a kind of etiquette to deal with visitors, with Zhao Zhu's current identity, with the current situation of the Du family, Zhao Zhu is indeed worthy of this etiquette now, if it was the original Du family, a major officer visited, and wanted the Du family to send a car to send you back? Think beautifully.
Sitting in the car, not long after the car started, Zhao Zhu's phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, and Zhao Zhu answered.
"Hey, Major Wang, it's me."
A voice came from the left end of the phone.
"What, you're back on Earth?"
"That's right, I just handed in the review report when I came back to accept the punishment, and they probably plan to arrange for me to open a logistics supply ship, hehe."
It can be heard that the mood at the left end is very lost at this time, a young captain who can be regarded as a battleship commander is actually going to open a logistics supply ship, and it is difficult for anyone to accept it.
"Are you in Nanjing, I'll invite you to lunch."
"Okay, I'm in Nanjing, the Olympic Sports Center here in Jianye District."
"Okay, I'll go." Zhao Zhu hung up the phone, gave an order to the driver, and then leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.
…………
"It can be seen that your subordinate is quite emotional, much better than other people's pretenses."
"The others are just pretending, it's nothing, you know, this guy used to kill hundreds of students in the school with his own hands without blinking an eye, would he stand in front of a tombstone like this gaffe because I died? I don't have a broken relationship with him. ”
"Oh? So, what does he mean by that? ”
"It means to tell me that he knows I'm not dead, don't pretend to him, well, it's as simple as that."
…………
WeChat search "Pure Drop Little Dragon", pay attention to the dragon's public WeChat account, there will be a chapter about Zhu Jianping's meat in school after twelve o'clock tonight, so stay tuned.
In addition, correct the mistakes in the previous chapters of Long, Zhao Zhu is still a major in the military rank, and there are a few chapters before that he was wrongly written as a lieutenant colonel, which is corrected here, thank you for correcting it. (To be continued.) )
