Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In the middle of the moon, General An's study was brightly lit. This is an old-fashioned study, ten square meters, the furnishings are old, except for the hanging wall lamps, there is no trace of modern carving.

On the west side of the study is a huge bookshelf, which is full of all kinds of thread-bound books, mostly novels and romances. General An Lao was born in the military, and he most admired the great leader's method of drawing war ideas from the classical romance, and admired it, so he wrote the most novels about war in his study. In addition to the ancient and modern romances in China, there are also many foreign war novels translated into Chinese, and in addition, the bookshelves are displayed the theoretical monographs of Ma, En, Lie, and Ling, as well as the theoretical works that study these theories. This huge bookshelf occupies one-third of the entire study, and next to the bookshelf is a marching bed, which is for General An to rest when he is tired. In addition to these two main pieces of furniture, there is only a set of mahogany Eight Immortals Table and Taishi Chair set left in this small study. The table of the Eight Immortals is placed in front of the door, with a Taishi chair at each end, and a total of four Taishi chairs in two rows on the left and right are placed under the main seat, and between the chairs are placed sandalwood standing stools for tea.

At this time, there were six people in this small old study. General An sat in the middle, Lao Wang stood on the side, on the left side sat An Zaihai and An Zaijiang, and on the right side sat the eldest son-in-law Zuo Qiu Ming and the second son-in-law Chen Dao.

Zuo Qiu Ming is a red-faced fat man with black-framed eyes on his eyes, he is fifty-two years old this year, married to the eldest daughter of General An Lao, and is the only brother-in-law of the An brothers. Zuo Qiu Ming is currently a member of the Jianghuai Provincial Revolutionary Committee, although he is a deputy minister at his age, in today's terms, he has a smooth career and is famous in the sea. But he knows his own family affairs that he sat in his current position at the age of forty-eight, and it has been four years, and he has not moved, and he has also been squeezed out of the team of the Revolutionary Committee, and several backward team members have climbed to his head. Therefore, he took the excuse to squeeze into the delegation of Jianghuai Province to Beijing to mourn, just to find his father-in-law to borrow strength, who would have thought that he was fortunate enough to step into this legendary mysterious place for the first time. At this moment, he sat upright with his eyes and nose and nose and heart, his mind spinning, searching for wonderful plans and amazing words.

Chen Dao and Zuo Qiu Ming's situation is very different, he is only 38 years old this year, born with a dignified appearance, at a young age, he has already sat on the throne of the deputy director of the Pingyang District Revolutionary Committee of Jianghan Province, which is a full weight of the deputy department-level throne, and is only one step away from the director of the department-level Revolutionary Committee, and the Pingyang area is the core area of Jianghan Province, second only to the Hanshui area where the provincial capital is located. General An has two sons and eight daughters, Chen Dao is married to the seventh daughter, although he has six brothers-in-law in addition to the eldest brother-in-law of the deputy province, but those brothers-in-law are either struggling in the army, or sitting on the bench in the organ, where is he living like this, majestic and majestic, therefore, everyone is not in his eyes. is the eldest brother-in-law of this vice province, and in his opinion, he is no more than Erer, and he may not be over forty-five in that position. Chen Dao was also sitting upright at this time, full of ambition, he came to worship the old man's 80th birthday, which had been canceled, but when the leader died, he has been staying in the house until now, and he happened to get the opportunity he dreamed of - to participate in the old man's study meeting. He had to gather his spirits and think of a plan. If you listen to the high-level competition at the same time, you have to sell strange tricks, and the old man will definitely be impressed by himself from now on, and then vigorously support him. No matter how bold you think about it, it is not impossible for the An Department to be handed over to you in the future.

"Okay, it's almost there, Lao Wang, go close the door and light the incense." The old man instructed the old king, who was standing on the other side of the main seat. He didn't say that everyone had arrived, only that the people had almost arrived, and the meaning, apart from himself, only Lao Wang, who was in charge of the call, knew.

Lao Wang whispered, closed the door, from a corner of the bookshelf pulled out a piece of incense about a foot long, mixed colors, this incense is not the temple Buddha with the kind of ordinary wood powder mixed with essence, but sandalwood, agarwood, musk kneaded with tiger bone powder bonded, is mixed with a variety of spices, white, yellow, gray and black colors twisted together, to form such a color. Sandalwood is clear, agarwood awakens the brain, musk condenses, tiger bones strengthen the gods, these four benefits are all in helping people condense their minds and clear distracting thoughts. Lingtai incense is specially made by General An Lao according to the ancient recipe on an old paper, asking Lao Wang to run in many ways. The annual output is only dozens, in addition to giving away, there are only a dozen or so left by themselves, and only when they need to think about the heavy dà problem, they will be taken out and used.

Lao Wang found the incense burner and put it in the middle of the table of the eight immortals, inserted the incense of the Lingtai firmly in the middle, lit it with his hand, and in an instant, a fragrance like an orchid like a musk, like a chrysanthemum like a lotus, floated out, and the cigarette was like a thread, like a silver needle, from the nostrils straight into the brain, making people's Lingtai instantly clear.

General An took a deep breath, leaned back against his chair, and said, "In the sea, you first tell Qiu Ming and Chen Dao about the current situation and tonight's topic. ”

When An Zaihai heard this, he cleared his throat and said, "Big brother, old seven, the big situation, I believe that you have been in the capital for these days, and you almost know something, so I won't go into details." Dad convened this meeting today, mainly to discuss the conditions proposed by Ji Lao's side this afternoon, should we accept it? I think..."An Zaihai is dressed in white like snow today, with wax on his head, holding a folding fan in his hand, shaking while talking, quite a bit of pointing out the country, stimulating the taste of words, what is the material, he was just about to express his opinion, but was interrupted by General An Lao.

"Okay, I asked you to introduce the situation, but I didn't ask you to express your opinion." The old man glared at him, and swept his eyes at the eldest son-in-law who seemed to be in zazen, "Qiu Ming, the younger generation of this house, the age is respected by you, you can talk about it first." ”

Zuo Qiu had expected that today's topic would be related to the visit of the people from there in the afternoon, and he and Chen Dao had been living in Songzhuzhai for the past few days, although they did not come forward to welcome the guests, but they had already known the conditions put forward by the An brothers from the mouth. He had already made a draft in his chest and abdomen, and when the old man asked, he would tell him his astonishing opinion, and sure enough, the old man was the first to find him. Hearing the old man's call, he owed the old man a slight debt (this subtle action, in the eyes of others, is more like he is showing that he is a living creature), and said: "Dad, I think we should lay a foundation, unmoving, unshakable, the current turmoil is weird, the waves are deep, the victory or defeat is the most difficult to determine, and we can't play the role of a final word, and we may follow up, maybe we will choose the wrong reverse, I mean not moving like a mountain, Mingzhe to protect himself, and then sit and reap the benefits." After Zuo Qiu Ming finished speaking, he glanced around proudly, and when he swept to the old man's face, his pride turned into longing, as if he was eager to get the old man's affirmation.

As soon as Zuo Qiu Ming's words fell, everyone's faces were colored. An Zaihai chuckled softly and did not speak; An condensed in Jiangmei Peak, as if contemplative; Chen Dao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed. Zuo Qiu Ming's self-righteous wisdom did not get everyone's affirmation, not to mention, and it made the room silent.

General An gently tapped the table with his finger bones, attracting everyone's attention, and his eyes fixed on An Zaihai, "Zaihai, you have been anxious to say, now you say it, and see what you think." ”

Hearing this, An Zaihai waved the folding fan scattered in his hand lightly, retracted it inward, opened his lips and showed his teeth, and said: "Dad, I think the eldest brother's idea is too conservative, where is the obscure time, and it is clearly the scenery and the moon, which can be distinguished at a glance." Although Ji Lao has prepared boats and fishing nets, he doesn't know that the wind and waves are high and the waves are urgent, so how can it be the time to go to sea? Besides, there are far more fatty fish for us over there than Ji Lao, why don't we push the boat down the river and enjoy it in peace? I don't think there's a need to discuss, indecision is a big taboo, Dad, it's time to make a decision. At the end, An Zaihai said in an impassioned tone, and he actually stood up, shaking his waxy head and showing signs of disarray.

"Impetuous! Sit down! Which is indecisive? I don't need you to teach Lao Tzu a lesson, whenever you need to calm down in a big event, where is your calmness? The old man An changed color, slapped the table, and hurriedly sat back in the sea, and the other three were also shocked by the old man's power. After the old man finished An Zaihai, he named An Zaijiang in order, "Third child, tell me." The old man knew that his youngest son was good at military affairs and short on strategy, but every time he discussed in the study, he would ask his younger son's opinion. The old man's intention was obvious, that is, to exercise this younger son, who seemed to him to be more useful than the impetuous eldest son.

An Zaijiang has always been a soldier, and his body sat as straight as a javelin, and as soon as the old man's voice fell, he answered: "I can't say what idea you want me to take, I just know that no matter when, the harpoon must be clenched." His words were as short and sharp as his head.

After listening to the words of the youngest son, the old man nodded slightly rarely, and said softly to his most valued son-in-law: "Old Seven, what is your opinion?" A few of them count you as the best at scheming and scheming, you must have a hill in your chest, let's talk about it. The old man rarely didn't hear what he said, and praised him first, and his praise made An Zaijiang and Zuo Qiu Ming frown again and again.

Chen Dao saw this in his eyes, and to be honest, he also felt that his eldest brother was frivolous. is so related to fate and communicates the major events of life and death, how can you decide it without taking careful precautions? In addition, Chen Dao also despised his second uncle, thinking that although what he said was correct, it was all nonsense. Who doesn't know that harpoons are important, and without harpoons, can you get on the table, does this need to be repeated? In his opinion, the princes in the room are not enough to make a plan, for the old man to refer to the details, paint praise, and rely on his own brain, which has read three thousand years of power and cunning, the future of the An family is not in An, but in Chen!

Chen Dao stood up, straightened his clothes, and said loudly: "Dad, I think what the three brothers said makes sense, but I have different opinions. In my opinion, first of all, hold the harpoon tightly that is the premise of our conversation. The third brother has already said just now, I will not say more, I will only add one point, that is, at the moment we should blow the wind to the comrades who have the harpoon, so that they can distinguish the time of day, so as not to suffer from elbows and armpits. Secondly, the second brother said that the current side has the upper hand, and the actual situation is true, and it is also necessary for us to show favor to that side. But we can't completely go over there, because it's not yet time to win or lose, and that side may not have an overwhelming advantage. In the end, I think it's feasible for the eldest brother to behave as a fisherman. But the way is still up for debate. I don't think we can blindly sit on the sidelines, we must turn passive into active, and both sides must show goodwill. The most important thing is that when the victory or defeat is decided, we ......"

"Of course, this strategy of mine may be considered by everyone to be a grass-walled approach, but it is a big taboo. But this is the case at the moment, although the situation is tilted, it still maintains a delicate balance, and it is impossible to judge who wins and who loses. And we can't sit and wait, that will only be unpleasant on both sides, so we can move appropriately, first, to show our muscles, and second, we can delay the time and wait for the situation to change. To sum up, I think there are only two things to do now. First, we need to keep in touch with our own forces and wait for the right time. Second, send personnel to negotiate with both sides at the same time, delaying time, and waiting for the other side to decide the winner. That's my opinion. ”

Chen Dao's words were not hurried or slow, and he told them eloquently, explaining the current predicament faced by the An Department thoroughly, and made a brief comment on the opinions of An Zaihai and the others, and fell and praised it, so that the three of them couldn't hate it, and they had to admit his feelings. In the end, he divided his opinions into two small points, grasped the theme, and highlighted the key points for General An to choose. After these words, his talent for working in strategy and planning was fully revealed.

Chen Dao's lofty remarks are quite in the style of a vertical and horizontal family, and when he heard General An nodding again and again, An Zaihai and Zuo Qiu Ming, who had never liked him, were not annoyed by him, but had a little admiration. After Chen Dao finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the old man and sat back in his place, his face calm and proud.

The old man listened to everyone's views and opinions, but did not speak. Even the opinion of the seventh son-in-law who had just nodded in approval was noncommittal. He squinted his eyes slightly, and his bone fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, as if he was thinking, and he really sighed. Although the old man is an old army leader who rolled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, how can he not know the strategy in the angry sea of treacherous clouds and constant waves in the past few decades? Don't know the time of day?

The old man didn't show his views first, but asked his four most promising and promising pillars to express their views, one is to exercise their ability to deal with the top game, but to see if everyone can express some eye-catching opinions, but unfortunately none of the four can satisfy him. In his opinion, the idea of the eldest son-in-law is too wishful thinking, and the top game, how can he stay out of the matter and get the benefit of the fisherman? Which side is not a cluster of think tanks, working on planning and planning? How can this trick be concealed from others, and only increase laughter; The eldest son's idea seems to be quite brave and full of momentum, but in fact it is ridiculously naïve, and the situation is unclear, his heart is boiling, and he sacrifices himself to send the life and death of a family to a hastily, so impetuous, how to provoke the beam of the security system in the future? Although the younger son's words are decent, calm and heavy, they are not the choice of the moment, and the top priority is to break the situation, not to defend himself; As for the most strategic seventh son-in-law, he nodded his head in approval, but he affirmed that he had an accurate grasp of the situation, his arguments were well organized, and he listed the countermeasures. However, this is also a hole in the view, the mountain is a mountain, after all, I have not experienced the top fight, the knowledge is a little insufficient, and the following game methods are used to deal with such changes, the difference is a millimeter, and it is a thousand miles wrong.

General An gently knocked the tea lid and motioned to Lao Wang to refill the tea for him, Lao Wang smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly refilled it for the old general. Lao Wang was also thinking about the situation in front of him, but he was fascinated by it. He knew that the old general regarded him as a confidant, and he did not shy away from such conversations, hoping to exercise his ability so that he could find a future for himself in the future. Although the old general once jokingly said that he would be transferred to the Central Office and still do writing work, in fact, he knew that the old man still wanted to go down and lead the troops. Therefore, every time he discusses a discussion in the study, although he does not say anything, he will think about it with his heart, and after memorizing everyone's concepts, he will analyze and figure it out when he has nothing to do, and exercise his adaptability.

The old man picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, and the atmosphere in the study returned to dullness. The first to be unable to stand this kind of suppression is undoubtedly An Zaihai, he thinks that his own high opinions, not to mention the adoption of the old man, should always have some praise, where do you know that he was first reprimanded by the old man as impetuous, and then slandered by this insidious old Qiming, he really can't swallow this breath.

An Zaihai stood up, but the folding fan that had been shaking in his hand was no longer in his hands, and he threw it on the stool casually and put it scattered. He straightened his back, looked at the old man and said, "Dad, the seventh child's lofty arguments must be in line with your thoughts, do you think we should do what the seventh wants?" He knew the old man's temper, if he had agreed with it, he would have spoken out a long time ago, and he would not just nod his head in approval, he was giving Chen Dao eye medicine.

How could General An not know about his ghost domain tricks, his eldest son is good at everything else, he just likes to compete for favor in front of him. On weekdays, the amount of air in the sea is not so narrow, but once someone threatens his future position as a family member, his cautious eyes can't help but do it.

The old man glared at An Zaihai and said, "What are you anxious about, if you want to make a decision, you have to brainstorm, and there are still people who haven't arrived." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was shocked. Anyone else? Who is it? The old man's heart, they don't say they all know each other, but now there is enough to enter this room, and no one is in the capital, if you want to talk about outsiders, the old man will never invite such a confidential place as the study. An Zaihai stood on the spot, a little confused, and was about to ask, when a small military alarm "Didi" on Lao Wang's waist rang.

Lao Wang smiled at the old man: "He's here." ”

"Go to Yingying, see if this kid looks like he's in a hurry?" The old general smiled and waved his hand.

………

Xue Xiang put down the phone, kissed the little guy fiercely, laughed and walked out of the hall, came to the parking shed, drove the car, and roared away. The little guy who was stunned was stunned, and suddenly, the little guy stomped his little foot violently, and said in a suffocated voice: "Stinky big brother, he actually ran away while others were not paying attention." ”

Xue Xiang galloped all the way, and the depression of these days was swept away, and he arrived at Songzhu Zhai in a moment. When he passed the sentry post at the entrance of the alley before, the guard let him go all the way, but when he reached the gate, he was blocked, and the guard took the walkie-talkie to report, and it didn't take long for the strange old Wang to come out.

"Xue Xiang, you came really fast, you have been sleeping on the phone these days." Lao Wang welcomed Xue Xiang into the compound, and made fun of him while leading him to the study.

Xue Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and he heard two meanings from Lao Wang's words: first, General An was really deliberately hanging himself; The second is that the old man's recruitment tonight must be an important matter for discussion. He smiled back at Lao Wang, did not speak, bowed his head and followed Lao Wang into the hall, through the hall, to a room he had never been to.

Xue Xiang followed Lao Wang into the study, and said hello to the old man, before he looked at the other people in the study. He knew the An brothers well, and he also smiled and said hello to the two. He hadn't seen the other two, but the one who got into this place must be General An's heart and relatives, and he nodded at the two of them, which can be regarded as a hello.

General An watched him busy happily, beckoned Lao Wang to bring an embroidered stool, put it down next to An Zaijiang, and let him sit down. Seeing that he was seated, General An Lao introduced the identities of Zuo Qiu Ming and Chen Dao to Xue Xiang, and asked him to call the two of them "uncles" as follows An Weihong.

Zuo Qiu Ming and Chen Dao were coping with Xue Xiang's greetings, and at the same time, they were as curious as if they were scratching their hearts. What is so special about this hairy boy who looks no more than twenty years old? Unexpectedly, Lao Wang personally greeted him, and entered the core of this core place that he had peeped for many years. Since Xue Xiang entered the room, the eyes of the two of them have been staring at this young man, and their burning eyes seem to burn him from the inside out.

In fact, not only were the two of them curious, but even the An brothers, who had had several encounters with Xue Xiang and knew something about them, were also shocked. Previously, the old man looked up at Xue Xiang, and they didn't think it was anything, but they thought it was a compliment to a young man who was brave, resourceful and lucky. The old man's sentence of "Let's see", the two of them were just jokes, how could they have thought that the old man really summoned Xue Xiang to such a place, this is to participate in the secret, this, is this too hasty! The old man is not old and confused, is he, so confidential, can the child be able to smell it? It's just that the two brothers haven't lost their minds and dare to speak disrespectfully to the old man. Even so, the two of them couldn't help but get up and talk several times, but they were forced back by the old man's eyes.

Lao Wang brought a slightly lower purple stool from the hall, put it in front of Xue Xiang, and brought another cup of tea and put it on it. Xue thanked him, and Lao Wang was about to return to the place where he was standing, but was stopped by the old man's words: "Xiao Wang, don't worry, you first tell Xue Xiaozi about their opinions." ”

Lao Wang relayed to Xue Xiang the views of the Fang Cai An brothers and Zuo Chen's brother-in-law. Although he is not good at strategy, he has a good memory, writing and eloquence, and he expresses the main meaning of each person clearly, and even occasionally chooses words and sentences to embellish them, and a paraphrase has almost become a stage for Lao Wang's skills. General An nodded again and again, obviously satisfied with the secretary who had followed him for many years.

After Lao Wang finished relaying, he retreated to the same place, stood up, and everyone's eyes fell on Xue Xiang. Xue Xiang stood up, looked at Old Man An with a smile, and said, "Old man, what do you mean?" ”

When the crowd heard this, they almost fell to the ground. This is too, if the old man can express his heart directly, what do you want to do, just just ordered me to act directly. In fact, if they knew that a certain Chinese character and an English letter in later generations constituted an extremely powerful and extremely popular word, they would definitely use it on Xue Xiang without hesitation. Of course, if the old man is not angry and allows it, they want to use it on the old man more.

Unexpectedly, the old man did not have the anger that everyone expected, he still looked at the reckless boy with a smile, and said, "I came to you to shake a small fan, but I didn't want you to ask me." ”

"You must at least have a tendency to do so, so that I can stand in your shoes and give you a thumbs up." Xue Xiang had a smirk on his face, and Zuo Qiu Ming and Chen Dao were extremely surprised in their hearts, how could this kid be so familiar with the old man?

"My old man has no inclination, he called you here to analyze the situation, and if you grind again, I will let people drive you out." The old man patted the table, frightening his two sons and sons-in-law, but Xue Xiang still looked smiling. This gesture was much more visible when he killed the old man to the point of blood, and it was already strange at this time.

What Xue Xiang wants is that the old man has no inclination, if the old man has obvious inclination at this time, it will be difficult for him to do it.

If the old man decides to fall over there, with the old man's mental fortitude, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to persuade him to change his mind. Although as he expected, An Zaihai really leaned over there, but listening to Lao Wang Fangcai's relay, it seems that the old man is very dissatisfied with this discussion, so how did the old man fall to that side in his memory? He is a little confused now, maybe An's decline is not because of this storm. He knew that in the next few years, there would be countless fierce collisions, and he couldn't tell when the An clan would capsize. Of course, that's not what he needs to explore right now.

On the contrary, if the old man has decided to accept Ji Lao's invitation to go to sea, An's will be calm and have a lot of gains. But in this way, wouldn't it make Xue Xiang useless, from this point of view, An Zaihai's persistence helped him a lot. As a traveler, although he doesn't know some things as clearly as the palm of his hand, the simplest is who wins and who loses. In these days of waiting for the old man's summons, he had thought of almost all the words, and even if the old man decided to lean over there, he was somewhat sure that he would be able to turn the tide. Regardless of whether the old man said that he had no inclination, anyway, this is the time for him to be a hero.

Xue Xiang took a sip of tea, moved the embroidery stool slightly, stood up, faced the old man, and said: "Since you can always afford the kid, the kid knows everything and says everything, then I will shake my courage and express my opinion of the hole tube, I hope you ..."

"Nonsense, I remember that although your kid used to be slippery, it was quite cool, but now I see an outsider, to lift your spirits and show off? Tell you to have a word, and chew the words with my old man, be quick, and tell Lao Tzu. Seeing that Xue Xiang was not on topic, Old Man An was upset, and interrupted his foreplay with his words.

Xue Xiangjun's face was slightly red, he was indeed a little enthusiastic, after all, this was the first time to participate in such a level of game in his previous life and this life, and subconsciously the literati were so tricky, and the magnificent scene of Guo Jiaxian's Cao Cao's "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats" suddenly appeared in his mind, and the sour words in his mouth couldn't help but bubble out. He smiled awkwardly, straightened his mind again, and said, "Cheng, then I'll just do it." I will continue to say what the seventh uncle said, after all, the seventh uncle has already made a summary of the words of the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle, and I also agree with his basic views. What I'm going to say is just an addition to Uncle Seven. First of all, I don't think it's appropriate to look on the wall and act like a fisherman. Let's talk about watching from the wall, if you want to do this, you must first have strong strength, and you are not afraid of backlash while watching the tiger fight. But do we have the strength right now? If we had this strength, I am afraid that there would be no need to discuss self-preservation strategies at this moment. Speaking of the fisherman's behavior, this storm is unusual, and I don't need to say more, everyone knows the danger. Usually if the fisherman wants to make a profit, it is in the case of both sides losing and losing, but the current situation will be a lose-lose situation, the current game between the two sides is not two beasts biting each other, no matter which side wins, it will be scarred. And the reality is that if one side wins, the stars will completely swallow up the power of the other side, so as to become stronger, will a stronger victor allow us to be fishermen? I think it's probably time to settle the score. Secondly, I would like to share my views on the theory of victory and defeat in the situation of the second uncle. The current situation is indeed as the second uncle said, but it is not that the victory over there is obvious, but that Ji Lao's side has already won the victory..."His words were interrupted by An Zaihai with a dissatisfied face.

"Xue Xiang, you're afraid that you're talking in your dreams, how can you say it upside down. I appreciate your previous judgment, but you confuse right and wrong like this, but I can't stand it. Xue Xiang criticized Zuo Qiuming's point of view, of course he was happy, but when it came to his head, how harsh this criticism sounded, of course he had to get up and refute it. He doesn't have all the worries like Zuo Qiu Ming, he is afraid that the old man will be unhappy, etc., he has a home advantage, he can say whatever he wants, and Xue Xiang criticized the conclusion that he was proud of, and he patted his chest with that side, and he must convince the old man, at this time, how can Xue always be bad.

"Can't you listen to what others say, you're old, and you're still so frizzy, what's the use?" The old man was upset and slammed the teacup on the table.

Xue Xiang hurriedly played a round: "I don't know if I don't argue, what the second uncle instructed, I blame me for not making it clear." Of course he refuses to offend An Zaihai, even if the pattern of this second uncle is really choking, but he is also a member of a dignified heavyweight ministry and commission, and he is barely a newcomer who has stepped into the official career with one foot, and he may have to invite him more to help in the future.

Xue Xiang calmed down the old man's anger slightly, turned to An Zaihai and said, "Second uncle, don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly." In fact, it is not difficult to judge the current victory or defeat on both sides, Uncle Wang said that this afternoon Ji Lao came to the sea conditions, I guess what was given over there are small fish and shrimp, which is not worthy of the old man's weight. ”

As soon as Xue Xiang's words fell, everyone's faces were solemn, revealing a thoughtful look. All of you here are shrewd people, even if there are people who are not good at scheming, they are also outstanding intellectually, and they are not picky, Xue Xianggang pointed out the gaps, and everyone got a glimpse of the key from them. Yes, it stands to reason that if the other side sincerely invites itself to go to sea, it should not open such conditions that are not in line with the current wind and waves, even if you don't take advantage of the fire to rob and sit on the ground to start the price, the normal price should also be reached. But the conditions given by the other party not to mention that they can't be compared with that side, they are simply pushing themselves towards that side, isn't this extremely weird? In this way, there is only one possibility at the moment, and this kind of unreasonable practice will occur, that is, the fishermen have already gathered there, and it can be said that they have the chance to win, and they no longer need their own support, and this condition is just to test their own attitude. What's more, they are not waiting for their side to refuse, and take this opportunity to uproot their own forces, divide and swallow them, and by the way, they also reward others for their help. Thinking of this, everyone's faces changed greatly, and even the old man, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, also showed a dignified look.

What a word to wake up a dreamer!

Everyone was silent, but the narrow room was filled with cigarette smoke, lingering, and with the breathing of everyone, it transformed into various shapes. An Zaihai's previous dissatisfaction disappeared at this time, his face was full of nervousness, and he secretly regretted his recklessness; An Zaijiang lowered his head and pinched his finger bones hard, as if thinking about how to break the game; Zuo and Chen Lianxiang's curiosity and contempt for Xue Xiang at this moment disappeared, replaced by surprise, and the two of them lost their previous calmness on their faces at the moment, after all, they and An's are both prosperous and loss-making relationships, and the matter is already related to themselves, how can they not be in a hurry?

General An Lao asked for a cigarette from Lao Wang, and Lingtai incense could no longer clarify his Lingtai, and he needed nicotine to stabilize his soul. He took a few deep puffs of cigarette, let out a long breath, and looked at Xue Xiang with a smile: "You are really as keen as when you first met, I praise you for being Yan Shifan's first-class, I really didn't wronged you, right?" Okay, my old man is too old to stand your toss, and you brought it up to you, and you will end it. The old man couldn't help but put the responsibility for making a decision on Xue Xiang.

Xue Xiangzi is not hypocritical, what is he doing here? Isn't it precisely the work of making this decision? He returned to his standing stool and took a sip of the teacup, moistened his somewhat dry throat, turned around again, met the old man's eyes, and said: "Actually, the situation is very clear from the beginning, the hull over there seems to be solid, and their strength is just built on the sand, even if they still have the rudder at the moment, but the most important question is still as the third uncle pointed out, how have they really mastered the harpoon?" The old man's famous judgment, how could they have remembered. The harpoon is not grasped, the sail is broken early, and there are grudges everywhere, and everyone suffers for a long time, and so on, all of which are the way to perdition. I dare to conclude that Ji Lao's side must have received the widest support, and they came over there today, but it was just a formality. Of course, it is a formality for them, but for us it is a matter of life and death. At the moment, there is no point in talking about who wins and who loses, and there are only two things that need to be done urgently. First, immediately make your position clear to Ji Lao's side, and don't talk about any conditions. If they really dare to make us a fat fish, the fisherman's alliance formed now will soon collapse, and a dishonest alliance leader will not be able to make the allies feel safe, since it is not safe, who is willing to 'serve' the tiger with his body, so we are safe for the time being. Second, I have been walking around a lot of times these days, especially the old comrades who have been in contact with each other, no matter what the relationship is, they also go to visit one or two, which can be regarded as exploring the wind and showing off their muscles over there. The most important thing is to communicate with potential fishermen and unite to protect themselves. I think that if we do these two things, not to mention what kind of return we will get in the future, but at least we will be stable for the time being. ”

After Xue Xiang's words were finished, everyone was silent for a long time, and the An brothers, Zuo, Chen Lianjiao, and Lao Wang, who was playing soy sauce, had a word in their hearts at the same time: handsome!

Only the old man stood up and sighed: "Clever God, unparalleled national warriors!"

Everyone changes color in unison!

………….

The Jiang family's mansion is located in a secluded place on the side of Wangfujing West Road, which is one of the most authentic courtyard houses. To say that it is authentic is to compare the structure of Shochikusai. Songzhu Zhai is a single-entry courtyard, a main house to open out the hall, bedroom, study and other rooms, where there are four sides to build a house, the essence of the courtyard surrounded by arches and guards. And the Jiang family's mansion is different, this is a three-entry courtyard, the whole building structure is a dignified four-sided house, surrounded by the middle, the first two courtyards are built houses, and the entire third courtyard is a wide garden. This authentic and retro courtyard house has been inherited for more than 100 years, it was originally the house of a Baylor in the former Qing Dynasty, from the Republic of China to the Republic, through the hands of countless wealthy gentry and dignitaries, and finally fell into the hands of Jiang Geyang. Jiang Geyang originally had a place to live in Ouchi, but he, like General An Lao, did not want to live in Ouchi, except for working late on weekdays and would be sleepy in Ouchi, most of the time, he was still willing to rush home to reunite with his wife and children.

Just as Xue was waiting in General Yu'an's study, there were also three people in Jiang Geyang's study who were talking about the wind and waves, pointing out the waves.

Compared with Jiang Geyang's study and General An's study, it is a world of things, and it can be said that they are two stark contrasts. The interior of Bailaiping is decorated with splendor, the marble floor is illuminated by the crystal chandelier on the dome, crystal one, three wide black leather sand surrounds a one-meter square crystal coffee table, the glass cabinet five meters in front of the crystal coffee table is placed on a TV, the brand is one of the 143 color TVs that the Pearl Electromechanical Factory tried to develop, and the back of the TV is a big red alloy metal bookshelf, this huge bookshelf is not standing on the ground with ordinary bookshelves, Instead, they are inlaid in the walls, and countless tomes are displayed in between. The 100-square-meter study room is furnished in an atmospheric and solemn manner, which is especially avant-garde in this era, and there is hardly a trace of old colors and outdated utensils.

On the wide leather sand, Jiang Geyang sat in the center, holding a purple sand ellipsoid cup in his hand, and listened to a middle-aged man on his left side with a smile on his face. Jiang Geyang is only fifty-four years old this year, although he is about to enter his twilight years, but for the people who are tossing in the sea of eunuchs, it is the sun in the sky, the golden years. He is well maintained, his face is fair, his eyebrows are thick, his eyes are big, and although his thick black is shapeless, he is neatly cared for, and the whole person looks full of momentum, without half of his son's femininity.

The middle-aged man Ding Shiqun, who was talking to Jiang Geyang, was Ji Lao's life secretary. He has just passed the year of confusion this year, and it is the time when he is full of ambition, in addition to taking care of Ji Lao's life on weekdays, he also counsellors for writing work, which is quite reused by Ji Lao. This afternoon, he was ordered by Ji Lao to visit Songzhu Zhai, but unexpectedly, his trip did not achieve the expected results. No, after being free, I ran to Jiang Geyang overnight to ask for advice.

"Gong Jiang, I have done a mess on this errand, and I am really ashamed in my heart. Actually, I was also seven points of grievance and three points of bitterness in my heart, at that time, I listened to the bottom line of Ji Lao's words, and I knew that this was a difficult errand, but since Ji Lao said, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I also had to suffer earlier, right? I tried my best to talk and tongue, but there was just ambiguity and no attitude, and I saw that this matter was mysterious. There are no outsiders here, I'll tell you a word from my heart, Ji Laokai's conditions are really enough, three or two thin fish and small shrimp, I'm embarrassed to speak, where is the sincerity to win over! Jiang Gong, I lost points in front of Ji Lao this time, and I hope you will explain a thing or two for me in front of Ji Lao, what a lot of good words! Ding Shiqun's face is thoughtful, his clothes are like, it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the heat has not dissipated, but he is wearing a tunics with lapels, the buttons are tightly buttoned, and the neat little parted head on his head is also excited because of the emotion, and it is a little scattered with the swing when he speaks.

"Don't be in a hurry, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, Ji Lao has another deep meaning. With his old man's pattern and wisdom, if he really wants to win over people, how can he offer such conditions? It's just a test of the attitude of the other side, or trying to push them. I think that Ji Lao doesn't tell you the true meaning, but he is just doing the policy of 'hiding others and hiding oneself first'. Shiqun, you haven't seen Ji Lao first when you came back from there, have you? If you had seen Ji Lao, you wouldn't have come to me in such a panic to ask for advice. Jiang Geyang spoke earnestly to appease Ding Shiqun, who was in chaos, after all, this guy in front of him was quite trusted by the old man, and he would carry the banner in the future, so he couldn't say that he would have to borrow his help.

"High, Ji Lao is really high, the three-thousand-year-old power change technique is in his old man's hands, and it has just been fused into a furnace!" Ding Shiqun listened to Jiang Geyang's explanation, his hanging heart slowly relaxed, stood up, and began to pat Ji Lao's ass, this is his usual technique, no matter whether Ji Lao is present or not, whenever he talks about Ji Lao, he will stand solemnly and admire.

Suddenly, Ding Shiqun's face changed greatly, he stopped blowing, and said in a lost voice: "Gong Jiang, it's still inappropriate, I didn't see the flaws revealed by Ji Lao, will Ji Lao think that I am reckless and unbearable?" ”

Jiang Geyang looked at him like he couldn't help up, and there was a burst of disgust in his heart, it's rare that you still know that you can't be cultivated. This kind of person talks about it on weekdays, but in fact, he can't afford to do anything, I don't know how Ji Lao values him. Could it be that after people reach the pinnacle, they all like this kind of person?

Jiang Geyang was thinking about how to comfort this Adou, but Jiang Chaotian, who was sitting on the sand on his right hand, took the initiative to take over his father's burden: "Uncle Ding, don't be impatient, you think about how advanced Ji Lao's strategy is, you can't see that it's normal, I'm afraid that Old Man An's side has also been trapped by Ji Lao, why should Uncle Ding be ashamed." And your cunning, it's well known, and you don't need to prove it to anyone. After Jiang Chaotian finished the last sentence, he couldn't help but want to vomit, it was not difficult for him to brag about it, but touting this kind of guy with a thick mouth and a hollow belly really made him feel sick in his heart.

"Oh? In this way, Old Man An is probably in a catastrophe this time! Haha, call them arrogant, Ji Lao didn't have the wind blowing with that side before, but the old man An looked like he was arrogant on the cliff, which was really depressing, they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and they didn't weigh how many catties and taels they had, and this time let them steal chickens and rice. Ding Shiqun was relieved by Jiang Chaotian, completely relieved, and became like everything was in my hands.

Jiang Geyang personally picked up the purple clay pot on the coffee table and refilled Ding Shiqun with a glass of water, and said: "Shiqun, you can rest assured, with your weight in Ji Lao's mind, plus you have made such a great contribution today, it will be just around the corner." Come, as a brother, I will first toast you and congratulate him on his high day. ”

Ding Shiqun listened to Jiang Geyang's words, and was so happy that his playing card face instantly blossomed, and he said "where, where" in his mouth, but he didn't stop in his hand, picked up the teacup and bumped it into Jiang Geyang, and drank it all.

Jiang Chaotian drank a cup with a smile on the side, and he just put down the teacup, but saw his father turn his head and asked, "Chaotian, you have been in contact with that side twice behind my back, how is the situation?" Your Uncle Ding is also here today, and speaking out will also make him feel at ease. ”

Jiang Chaotian was stunned, his contact with Xue Xiang was indeed his own opinion, and since he had not received a substantive reply from there, he did not report it to Jiang Geyang. At this moment, Jiang Geyang suddenly asked, and he was taken aback: "Who did you listen to this?" He was surprised not because he was worried that the old man would know about his small movements, but because he was surprised when the old man had buried his eyeliner beside him.

"You don't care how I know, just tell me what they did to you at the time." The last time Jiang Chaotian was sent to the hospital, he sent someone to secretly check what happened, and when he checked, his unusually smart son actually did so many bad things behind his back. Since then, he has privately placed someone next to Jiang Chaotian, and while protecting him, he also reported all the bad things he did to himself, so that he could smooth him out at any time. Jiang Geyang has a son and four daughters, and he has been doting on this only son since he was a child, and when Jiang Chaotian became an adult, he actually had an amazing insight into the zz table, which made him love this son even more like a treasure, and he had high hopes for him, and regarded him as a well-deserved successor.

At this time, Jiang Chaotian didn't know that the old man had buried people beside him, although the old man had good intentions, who wanted to be watched. Of course, being an old man has to wait for Ding Shiqun to leave. Jiang Chaotian got rid of distracting thoughts, cleared his thoughts, and said, "Dad, Uncle Ding, I did contact that side twice, although there was no clear answer from there, but my goal was achieved. ”

Ding Shiqun was a little confused when he heard this, and asked: "Chaotian, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, and there is no response, can you still achieve your goal?" Don't go around in circles with your Uncle Ding, be smart. ”

Jiang Chaotian scolded the straw bag in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Uncle Ding, that's the case, the person I talked to is probably also one of Old Man An's think tanks." The first time, I asked him how he was going through the difficulties together, and he replied that he did not have the authorization of the old man, which showed that the old man An saw the wind and waves, and also moved the mind of fishing for a net. Now that Old Man An has moved his mind, there is hope that our side will pull him over. The second time, before I talked to him, Ji Lao had already won the most extensive support, and Old Man An's attitude had nothing to do with the overall situation, and I even felt that we should push them and push them to that end, so that the hunters who tried to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight became the food in our stomachs. In addition, if we pull them out, we can also use them to reward them. Therefore, I made a trick of obscurity, pretending that I couldn't wait, and asked him to say something on my behalf, but in fact it was to paralyze the other party. I think these two conversations, intentional or unintentional, that kid will definitely be revealed to Old Man An, with these two smoke bombs, one true and one false, our plan this time must be foolproof. ”

After listening to Jiang Chaotian's explanation, Ding Shiqun stroked his palms and praised: "Chaotian is worthy of being the son of Jiang Gong Hu, and his family history is very serious, I am afraid that he has been passed on by Jiang Gong." I expected that that person would not dare to conceal such important information, and taking a step back, it was that he suppressed the meaning of passing it to the sky twice, and Ji Lao also made a foolproof plan. In advance, Ji Lao has been blowing the wind to the old man An many times, this time he sent me to pass the conditions, which can be regarded as a formal communication, and the carriage and horses are clear, I expect that An's just thinks that our conditions are harsh, I never thought that we were actually Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, and this time it can be said that we are holding a handle against them. Unless Old Man An saw the direction of the wind clearly from the beginning and planned to move closer to us, haha, if Old Man An was so awake, I'm afraid he would have already expressed it, how could it be delayed until the moment when we started? Yes, I'll leave first, Ji Lao has a habit of getting up at night, I have to go back and wait. Jiang Gong, Chaotian, let's see you back. ”

After Ding Shiqun's impassioned summary, he was about to get up to say goodbye, but at this moment, the phone on the crystal coffee table rang. Jiang Chaotian picked up the phone and handed it to Jiang Geyang, Jiang Geyang put the earpiece to his ear, said a few words there, and hung up the phone without waiting for him to reply. The busy sound coming out of the earpiece, Ding Shiqun and Jiang Chaotian immediately knew whose phone it was, except for Ji Lao, no one dared not wait for Jiang Geyang to say a word, so they just put the phone away.

After Ding Shiqun guessed that it was Ji Lao's call, half of his body that had just stepped out of the coffee table suddenly froze, his face was full of horror, "Jiang... Jiang Gong, did Ji Lao call to scold me for coming, I sneaked over, didn't Ji Lao be angry. ”

When Jiang Geyang saw Ding Shiqun's shape, he couldn't wait to kick him to death, but he didn't take responsibility, what kind of big deal was it to come out privately? Scared like this, it seems that the old men like to keep this kind of respectful minions around them. No matter how uncomfortable Jiang Geyang felt in his heart, his face would not show clues, and he still comforted him: "Shiqun, it's okay, it's not your business, why panic, Ji Lao called and reported the situation." ”

"What's the situation?" When Ding Shiqun heard that it was none of his business, he was relieved and curious.

"An Lao personally talked to Ji Lao on the phone just now and agreed to go to sea." Jiang Geyang relayed the news he got expressionlessly, seemingly telling Ding Shiqun, but in fact asking Jiang Chaotian.

Ding Shiqun sat back on the sand, "How can this be?" How did Old Man An find out? Do they already know that the tide is on our side? No, it's impossible for Ji Lao to get out about the contact. What the hell is going on? An actually escaped death! If they heard a flaw in my words, they wouldn't have waited for more than ten hours before deciding to stand up, there must be something but a mistake. Ding Shiqun followed the devil, asking and answering himself, and talking to himself.

Jiang Chaotian got the news, but he came back to his senses after a little stunned, his Lao Tzu's eyes swept over, he knew that he was asking for a plan, and when he saw Ding Shiqun's dejected appearance, he decided to make an answer together: "Uncle Ding, don't be impatient, the sky can't fall." I think the reason for this situation is nothing more than two aspects, one is that the other side may know about Ji Lao's alliance, after all, no matter how hidden it is, it will inevitably reveal the wind. However, I think that this is less likely, and the secret matter is at this critical juncture, and the fishermen know how important it is, after all, it is a matter of life, and the possibility of revealing it is very small. Second, they peeked out of Ji Lao's conditions. Even if we have been paralyzed many times before, it is inevitable that some people will jump out of the game and participate in the mystery, and I think this situation is the most likely. Uncle Ding, I can't blame you for this matter, you are just passing on the word on behalf of Ji Lao, and you have no merit. Dad, do you have anyone on the old man's side, even the person buried at the door of the house, I think the position is so late and so anxious to show the position, it must have just broken the game, maybe the person who participated in the mystery is the one who entered the door tonight, and it may come out at this time, as long as you know who it is, you can probably determine the hidden situation of the An system. In fact, the most likely candidate Jiang Chaotian guessed was Xue Xiang, but he had no evidence, it was all based on intuition, so he didn't say it. He has always had a curious and inquisitive attitude towards Xue Xiang, he thinks that this person is clever and courageous, and what is even more rare is that the pattern is magnificent and the world is mindful, such a person cannot be taken too seriously.

"Your kid is also suspicious, isn't it just to send someone to take care of you, you actually suspect that your son is a spy? What is the location of the old man? Isn't it fun to find people over there? Jiang Geyang rarely drank his baby son.

Jiang Chaotian smiled slightly, but did not speak, he was just joking with the old man on purpose, worried that he would be hit by this sudden change, and his heart would be relieved. With his intelligence, how could he not know that his own Lao Tzu would never do such a trick?

After listening to Jiang Chaotian's words, Ding Shiqun settled down. He is a few shocks today, Rao is tenacious spirit that has been exercised by taking care of Ji Lao every day, and it is inevitable that he will feel exhausted at this moment.

The Jiang family sent Ding Shiqun off and sat back in the sand.

"What? I see that your feelings are a little low, whether An's is down or not, in fact, it has no effect on us, their part is mostly in the barracks, even if it becomes a plate of Chinese food, we can't eat it. Besides, although we are now in the general trend and have the chance to win, no one dares to speak lightly of victory or defeat in this game until the last moment. One more boost is not a bad thing. I think you have always looked at the overall situation, why are you staring at the corner of An's today, isn't it your usual actions? Jiang Geyang gently patted Jiang Chaotian on the shoulder, afraid that he would be depressed, but came to comfort him.

Jiang Chaotian raised his head and showed a smiling face: "I'm fine, Dad, I just think this matter is very strange, although the An family is strong, it is just a dry bone in the grave, and there is no successor, I don't think about it too much." It's just that I felt someone suddenly interject and disrupt the rhythm I had set, and for the first time in my life, I felt a sense of admiration for a person. ”

Jiang Geyang was very curious when he heard it, he knew that his son had a strange and accurate vision since he was a child, and since he became an adult, he had been a fool of the characters, and he was even more accurate in his words, and he didn't take these big people who made ordinary people look up to him. In addition to respecting the old man who has passed away, even for himself, who is the old man, is just a father-son relationship, and he has never looked up to himself, but he usually borrows his talents, and he has only stabilized his position in recent years, and gradually entered the eyes of Ji Lao, and now he has the potential to take over the banner. The son actually said that he admired a person today, and he couldn't help but be shocked by him.

"Who is it? Sue sù dad. Jiang Geyang stared at Jiang Chaotian's eyes and asked.

"It's over," Jiang Chaotian raised his eyebrows.

"If the weeds are harmful, take advantage of this opportunity to pull them out together, which is not a double win."

"Forget it, Dad, those methods are inferior after all, and if they are not done well, they will hurt others and themselves. What's more, he doesn't necessarily stand opposite us, besides, isn't it good to have an opponent? Otherwise, wouldn't life be too boring? I don't have a match for this head, so maybe it's going to rust. After Jiang Chaotian finished speaking, he got up and took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet under the bookshelf, and raised it: "Dad, for this victory, let's have a toast." ”

"Cheng, I'll have a few drinks with my son."
