Chapter 299: Untying the Knot
Zhao Li didn't say a word, turned around quickly, and directly hugged Ban Yunchan, who still had one hand in his hand, sideways. And almost at the moment when he got up, he realized that there was already one more person beside him, it was Chen Yong.
This kind of speed is only possible for a ninth-level master, Ban Yunchan is right, Chen Yong is at least a ninth-level master. And the majesty of the superior revealed in him covered the temperament of a master, and successfully deceived everyone, except for his daughter. Of course, he didn't even think to hide it from her.
After he successfully signed an armistice with the Federation, and after he learned that the secret route of the meteorite belt outside the planet on his journey was leaked to the Federation's military by his daughter, he did not have any intention of pursuing his daughter. He knew for himself that he owed them so much.
The reason why it was changed to meet Zhao Li at the official residence this time was also because of Ban Yunchan's sudden return. Since Ban Yunchan left his side at the age of eighteen, she has not once come back on her own initiative. Finally, there was such a time, but this is the result.
"Give her to me!" Chen Yong's sudden speech made Zhao Li hesitate. Ban Yunchan's hand, even when she fainted, still held Zhao Li's hand tightly, her knuckles were already white, and even a cultivator like Zhao Li felt some pain. It is simply impossible to separate the hands of the two of them without hurting Ban Yunchan.
Chen Yong, under Zhao Li's signal, immediately discovered such an abnormal situation. To be honest, he always thought that Ban Yunchan had lost interest in Zhao Li when she came back, but at the moment, it seemed that this was not the case at all. What made him even more angry was that he had said not long ago that he didn't care if there were still many women around Zhao Li.
Holding back his surprise and anger, at this time, Chen Yong cared about Ban Yunchan, his daughter. Directly pointing to a room, Zhao Li kicked the door open, and inside was a guest room, but at least there was a bed to lie on.
Gently put Ban Yunchan on the bed, but Zhao Li's hand still couldn't be taken away, so he could only sit next to him with a little embarrassment. Chen Yong himself is a master of martial arts, and he is very familiar with the operation of the human body's qi and veins, and soon found that Ban Yunchan was not a serious injury, but caused by intense emotional agitation.
"Why?" Chen Yong was silent for a while, looked at Ban Yunchan on the bed, and then asked Zhao Li, he, as a father, was really unqualified, and he didn't even know what his daughter was thinking, so he could only understand through others.
"He understands you, but he doesn't accept you." Zhao Li replied to Chen Yong in the simplest words: "Especially the new agreement that you and Old Man Kang did not know on what terms, and for this reason you even gave up the political ideals you have always adhered to. ”
Chen Yong is an extremely smart person, just in a flash, he knew the reason why Ban Yunchan fainted from Zhao Li's words. After all, her daughter is still her own daughter, even if she doesn't know it, she knows some reasons.
"Do you want me to go to war with you?" Hearing the slight dissatisfaction in Zhao Li's tone, Chen Yong suddenly asked, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you are dissatisfied with me." ”
"No, I don't want war. However, career is not a reason to snub a family. Zhao Li sat on the edge of the bed, one hand and Ban Yunchan's hand tightly pulled. When he answered, Chen Yong's eyes kept on these hands.
"You little hairy boy, what do you know?" Chen Yong almost roared in a low voice. The reason why he whispered was because he was afraid of disturbing Ban Yunchan, who was in a coma, and the roar was because Chen Yong was angry and ashamed. However, after he finished shouting, he suddenly closed his mouth.
The young man in front of him, although he was indeed young, but so many women around him didn't seem to have been snubbed by him. When his eyes fell on the hands that Zhao Li and Ban Yunchan were holding tightly, Chen Yong immediately realized that this kid was actually extending his hand to his daughter's body now.
Suddenly, Chen Yong seemed to really want to go back to the time when he was still young, and then learn how to get along with his family from the hairy boy in their eyes in front of him. At least, when he was the same age as Zhao Li, he didn't reach the level of brigadier general, although to a large extent, it was the opportunity he created for Zhao Li.
"What I said is still valid." Chen Yong looked at this young man who should be considered very good, and his gaze moved from their clenched hands to Zhao Li's face: "As long as you can solve the white bird in the short term, my conditions are still valid." After saying this, he looked down at his daughter, and suddenly a complicated expression appeared on his face: "Take good care of my daughter, don't let her be bullied." Here, for you. He turned around and left the room without looking back.
It was only at this time that Kang Hongyuan slowly came in from the outside, and as soon as he came in, his eyes naturally saw Zhao Li and Ban Yunchan holding hands. As if it had been expected, Old Man Kang smiled mysteriously: "How is it, how does it feel to see Old Taishan for the second time?" After speaking, he looked around at the layout of the room and nodded: "Yes, yes, even in the Federation, such a residence is the best." It seems that he has thought about your affairs very thoroughly! ”
Facing the ridicule of the hateful old man Kang, Zhao Li was speechless, and could only express his strong dissatisfaction with his own gaze. Fortunately, Old Man Kang didn't plan to watch his joke for long, so he sat down on a chair not far away: "How are you going to deal with the white bird?" ”
"What did you say to Chen Yong? What conditions did you promise him? This is what Zhao Li wants to know the most, he didn't pay attention to Kang Hongyuan's question at all, and began to find the root cause.
"To be honest, politics is nothing more than two ways: attack and compromise." Kang Hongyuan shrugged his shoulders very easily: "I just let him understand that a proper compromise will lead to better development, that's all." ”
"That's it?" Zhao Li gritted his teeth a little, and the details he wanted to know still didn't say a word. Kang Hongyuan's answer was completely unanswered.
"That's it." Kang Hongyuan didn't seem to see Zhao Li's resentment, he still sat firmly on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and shook slightly: "The specific details, believe me, you won't want to know." Miss Ban pulled you out in a timely manner. Believe me, although you have learned a lot from me, you can only be said to be a generalist, but there are some things that can only be done by the most professional people. And I'm the most professional person. ”
At this point, Zhao Li can't help but admit that politics is the thing he is least interested in. Even if he was nurtured by Kang Hongyuan to understand a lot of things, and used a lot of things in actual life, he was really unwilling to let Zhao Li completely plunge into the whirlpool of politics and kill Zhao Li.
Kang Hongyuan's words can be regarded as hitting Zhao Li's cover door. Zhao Li, who originally wanted to go all out and learn the details of the talks between Kang Hongyuan and Chen Yong, couldn't help but wilt when Kang Hongyuan said this: "Why do I have to solve the white bird?" ”
"Because it's a test for you." Kang Hongyuan finally returned to his senses: "If you can't accept this test, or if the test fails, then, Chen Yong will reconsider the strategic direction of their rebel group, and when the time comes, even if he doesn't want to fight, he won't miss the opportunity under such a perfect opportunity as the White Bird Rebellion." In fact, he doesn't have much time left for you. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Li also fell silent. Chen Yong's condition is not harsh, in fact, it is quite beneficial to himself. If the Federation can quickly extinguish the flames of Shiratori's rebellion, then Chen Yong will have no chance to take the opportunity to start a war. And if not, then no one can stop the rebels from taking advantage of the situation. This condition, for the rebels, has no benefits.
However, Kang Hongyuan still agreed. For nothing else, winning this bet will win the support of the entire rebel group and the people of their four and a half planets. At that time, needless to say, what kind of height Zhao Li will rise to in the army, even Kang Hongyuan himself will quickly regain the height he was before he was imprisoned.
With such a large input-output ratio, as long as you are a businessman, you absolutely know whether this condition should be followed or not. Although Zhao Li is not a businessman, he understands the huge benefits hidden in this. As for Kang Hongyuan, he didn't wait for Zhao Li to agree, he had already agreed first.
What gave Zhao Li a headache was that Chen Yong designated Zhao Li to personally solve the crisis of the white bird. Strictly speaking, it is not an exaggeration that the crisis starts and ends with him. However, Zhao Li couldn't imagine what kind of reason he should use to intervene in the White Bird incident. And the deal proposed by Chen Yong, from beginning to end, he will not and cannot mention a word with it.
Kang Hongyuan still wanted to ask something, but Ban Yunchan on the bed had already moved slightly, looking like she was about to wake up. Seeing this scene in time, Kang Hongyuan closed his mouth very interestingly, then got up directly and walked out of the door.
"Sister Ban." The moment Ban Yunchan opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Li's face not far above her. Immediately, while hearing Zhao Li's cordial shout in her ears, a feeling came from her hand and let her know that her hand was tightly clasped with Zhao Li.
"He's giving in for the sake of profit, right?" Ban Yunchan's gaze was very blurry, and it was not at the same level as before. Zhao Li really couldn't figure it out, would such a small change really hit her so hard?
However, this kind of doubt will never appear in Zhao Li's mouth: "No, he just chose to use a better way to realize his ideals." Zhao Li didn't want to see Ban Yunchan become like this, if possible, he would rather see those bright eyes in his life, rather than the current appearance.
"Do you think so?" Ban Yunchan's voice suddenly became a little indifferent, as if it had changed because Zhao Li had said good things to Chen Yong.
"In fact, he's just taking a big gamble." Zhao Li thought about it and used the simplest words he could summarize to describe Chen Yong's choice.
"Gambling?" Ban Yunchan didn't react for a while, perhaps, everyone is like this, the authorities are fascinated!
"Yes, if I lose, he won't change anything, but will be stronger with his own means." Zhao Li told Ban Yunchan very seriously. In fact, this is also the truth.
Ban Yunchan is an extremely smart person, and she immediately understood Chen Yong's thoughts from the conditions she heard before and the words that Zhao Li had just said, as if suddenly, her eyes brightened.
"But what if he loses?" The brightness only lasted for a short moment, and Ban Yunchan immediately expressed doubts again.
"If he loses......" Zhao Li paused, holding Ban Yunchan's hand and changed his strength slightly, believing that Ban Yunchan would be able to feel it immediately. At this time, Zhao Licai spoke again: "Didn't you always want him to lose?" This is also an opportunity for you to join me and defeat him! ”
Zhao Li didn't say anything about Chen Yong's defeat from beginning to end, does it mean that Chen Yong gave up the political ideas he had always adhered to, gave up the ideals he had fought for for decades, and even snubbed his wife and daughter for this. He just analyzed the consequences of Chen Yong's failure from the starting point of Ban Yunchan.
Ban Yunchan is an extremely contradictory person, she seems to have been committed to destroying his father's achievements, but she does not want her father to give up his efforts. This is a paradox in itself, Zhao Li simply secretly transferred a concept from Chen Yong to Ban Yunchan.
However, after hearing this, Ban Yunchan seemed to have taken a shot of heart, and the whole person's fierce spirit rose. The sudden brilliance of his eyes made Zhao Li feel a little magical.
"I'll let him know what a failure is." This sentence let Zhao Li know that the class sister in his mind had returned to his side again.
"Sister Ban!" Seeing Ban Yunchan like this, Zhao Li was indescribably happy in his heart, but Chen Yong's words still had to be known to Ban Yunchan: "When your father left, he said that I would take good care of you." Also, it was given to us. ”
Hearing Zhao Li suddenly become stupid and relay Chen Yong's words, Ban Yunchan suddenly felt a little funny. This young little brother, it seems, in some ways, is no different from a cow. When Chen Yong said this, it seemed that he had acquiesced in the relationship between Zhao Li and Ban Yunchan, but in Zhao Li's view, he and Ban Yunchan did not have any intimate relationship for the time being, at most, it could only be regarded as a friendship with life and death.
"Woo", just after Zhao Li just finished saying this, suddenly, Zhao Li's lips were covered by a pair of softer lips. Then, a pair of arms that had made him fantasize about an unknown number of times went straight around his neck.
