Hua Yan clenched Hui Lao's hand, with a resolute attitude, and said categorically: "That's not good! Hui Lao is as kind to me as a mountain, I must repay Hui Lao's kindness, I don't know what Hui Lao wants, please be bold and put forward, I will try my best to satisfy!"

Looking at Hua Yan's sincere gaze, he looked back at the old man and hesitated for a long time, and then said softly: "I don't hide it, I do have a small request, I don't know if the young master can agree." ”

"It's okay to go back to the old age! I will definitely agree to any request from the old man! Even if it is to go up to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" Hua Yan assured.

Hui Lao lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes fanned the reserve in his eyes, and finally took a deep breath, faded the reserve, and plucked up the courage to look at Hua Yandao.

"My real name is Hui Yingying, I hope the young master will stop calling me Hui Lao in the future, just call me Yingying. I don't know if this requirement can be met by the young master......"

This sentence, Hui Lao wanted to say it for a long time, but he never had the opportunity to say it, and now he finally has the courage to say what is in his heart to Hua Yan, Hui Lao only feels a burst of joy in his heart: No matter what the result is, at least I have the courage to say it, even if the young master does not agree, I will still follow the young master forever!

Hua Yan was stunned at first, he never dreamed that Hui Lao would make such a simple request, so simple that Hua Yan felt a little incredible, so simple that Hua Yan didn't know how to agree to Hui Lao's request.

"Hui Lao, are you sure this is what you are asking for?" Hua Yan said.

Hui Lao nodded heavily, "Well, this is my only request, I hope the young master can fulfill it." ”

After confirming again, Hua Yan had no choice but to sigh, "Okay, Yingying...... Predecessor. ”

"Young master, can you also give the word senior. Hui Lao plucked up his courage and said.

"Okay...... Ying...... Yingying. Hua Yan said a little awkwardly.

Hui Lao smiled slightly, looked at Hua Yan affectionately, his eyes contained a strong sense of love, however, looking at such a bright smile, Hua Yan, who had always known human feelings, did not react at all, and did not perceive the love in Hui Lao's eyes, he also looked at Hui Lao, with gratitude in his eyes.

That gratitude, like a basin of cold water, poured on the old man's head, extinguished the love in her eyes, and doused her throbbing reassurance.

"Thank you, young master, it's nothing, Yingying will retire first, and then talk to the young master and the patriarch when you have the opportunity." ”

After that, Hui Lao ignored the obstruction of Hua Yan and Hua An, turned into a black shadow again, and disappeared into his seat.

Seeing that Hui Lao disappeared again, Hua Yan was full of doubts, and only turned his head to look at Hua Andao.

"Father, return ...... No, Yingying, what's going on?"

The so-called fans of the authorities, Hua Yan has always only regarded Hui Lao as a partner and as a relative, so Hua Yan was not aware of the strange emotions of Hui Lao, he only had the revival of the family in his heart, and he did not think about any emotion with Hui Lao at all, not to mention that the age gap between the two is so huge, no matter what way you think about it, it is impossible for the two to walk together, and Hua Yan is naturally even more unlikely to think about it.

Hua An sighed, as a bystander, he naturally saw the mood of returning to old age clearly, but Hua An couldn't do anything about this matter, he could only sigh.

"Alas...... Let's get down to business. ”

Hua Yan nodded, continued to sit down, and began to talk to Hua An about business.

"What do you think should be done about those two adults?" Hua An asked as he looked at Hua Yan.

"Continue to build a good relationship! Which two big men are our biggest bargaining chips, and we must not have bad relations with the two of them! With the two of them, we also have the ability to influence the entire situation!" Hua Yan said word by word

Hua An nodded with great satisfaction and continued, "What about the relationship with the Drunken Immortal Building?"

Hua Yan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The relationship between the Drunken Immortal Building and us is quite special, after all, all members of the clan are more or less dissatisfied with the Drunken Immortal Building, and they all hate the Drunken Immortal Building. ”

"However, as far as I am concerned, it is still recommended to maintain an alliance with them, after all, they have the strongest intelligence network in the whole continent, and they also have the strongest combat power in the whole continent, and it is not beneficial for us to oppose them. In fact, if I could, I would like to further my relationship with them so that our family revival plan can be carried out more easily. ”

"Alas, it's not easy to go further with them, you should know better than me, Drunken Immortal Mansion is extremely unfriendly to our Washington government, and extremely vigilant, on the surface we are allies, but we don't get any benefits from them, on the contrary, they are against us everywhere, and make things difficult for us everywhere. I'm afraid we'll rise up and squeeze them down. Hua An sighed.

"I have a completely different view from my father on this. I think that our presence did attract their attention, but absolutely nothing to their concerns. They always treated us as if we were an intelligence agency. The reason why they are targeting us everywhere, in my opinion, is because they are afraid that our presence will affect their plans. Second, perhaps because of my brother's death, they became disgusted with our Washington, D.C., and I believe that as long as we solve the misunderstanding and confirm our position, they will not make things difficult for us anymore. ”

"Actually, it seems to me that they want to be friendly with us because we have the information they want, and they can give us the resources we want. If they want to accomplish their goals, they must rely on the information I provide, and we must rely on their resources if we want to accomplish our plans. Both sides have needs for each other, and it is just like last time that we can get together smoothly! and I will create that opportunity again to make our relationship go further. After all, our plans do not conflict, and cooperation between the two sides will only benefit each other's plans. ”

"Yes, your grasp and analysis of the situation is very good, Washington has you, and you will definitely be able to return to the peak moment!" Hua An approvingly.

was praised by Hua An like this, Hua Yan was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, father, you have won the award, what do you think we should do next?"

Just now, Hua An asked Hua Yan's opinion again, and now seeing Hua An's silence, Hua Yan can finally find a chance to ask for his father's opinion. After all, Hua An is the person Hua Yan admires the most, every time he makes a decision, he always subconsciously asks Hua An's opinion, and Hua An will always give him some very useful opinions, which makes Hua Yan pause.

However, now, Hua An did not give Hua Yan advice again, but slowly stood up, came to Hua Yan's side, touched her head dotingly, and said: "Yan'er, you have grown up and can be on your own, I believe that in your heart, you have your own plan for what to do next." I'm too old to help you anymore. Just do what you want and don't have to ask me for my opinion. In any case, the whole Washington will support you unconditionally behind you!"

Hua Yan felt a burst of gratitude in his heart, and he had some answers in his heart about the next plan, and nodded heavily.

"Thank you, father, I will definitely live up to the expectations of my people!"

Hua An nodded with great satisfaction.

Hua Yan looked at Hua An, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Father, I want to go to see the ancestor, but I don't know if it's convenient to put it now." ”

Hua An was slightly stunned, puzzled: "You want to see the ancestor?

"I have one thing, I have wanted to try it for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to try, and now, it is a critical period for the revival of the family, so I have to try the thing in my heart, but this matter must be approved by the ancestors. That's why I want to go and see my ancestor. Hua Yan said.

"Oh, what is it that you have to try at this juncture?" asked Hua An

Hua Yan smiled mysteriously, "Please also ask my father to allow me to buy a pass, and I will know when I see the ancestor." ”

Seeing that Hua Yan was reluctant to say it in advance, Hua An didn't plan to force it, but just glanced at Hua Yan deeply, and felt more and more that his son would become a great weapon, and the revival of the family was just around the corner!

Hua An nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

Hua Yan was overjoyed and followed his father out of the lobby.

......

Washington, basement, wine cellar.

This is the place where Washington treasures fine wines, and when I first came here, the first thing I felt was coolness, and when I looked closely, I saw countless wine barrels and wine bottles placed inside.

Although the barrel is sealed and the bottle is blocked, the strong aroma of wine still permeates the entire basement, with a hint of coolness, which makes people feel drunk just by smelling it.

The second is the large, dimly lit basement, which is unusually spacious, with countless barrels, bottles, and jars neatly placed in the basement, but it does not seem crowded at all. Each row, each column, has a specific type of wine, and the distance between the rows and columns is very wide, so that people can smell different aromas of wine when they walk in each row and column. See the different drinks and get drunk in this spacious wine cellar.

At this time, Hua Yan and Hua An were shuttling through the wine cellar, with a touch of blush on their faces, and a little drunkenness in their eyes, as if they had been lost in these countless wines, and finally found their way, and immediately shook their bodies and came to the center of the wine cellar.

In the center of the wine cellar, a sloppy old man was sitting on the cold floor, constantly shaking his body, as if he might fall down at any time, his face was full of redness, his body exuded an unpleasant smell of wine, and the bright red rosacea nose was also conspicuous in this dim wine cellar, and from time to time he still opened the wine partition, spit out a mouthful of unpleasant wine from his mouth.

Around him, several wine barrels were randomly placed, surrounding him, some of which had fallen to the ground, but no wine spilled, because the wine in the barrels had already been drunk by him, only the smell of wine permeated him, and the only thing left was the wine bottle he held in his hand, and in it, there was the last sip of wine!

However, the old man refused to let go of even the last sip of wine, picked up the wine bottle, drank all the wine inside, smashed it, smashed it, and licked his lips again, obviously still a little unfinished.

It's a pity that there is no wine around him, so he had no choice but to look at Hua Yan in front of him and say, "You two, what are you looking for me again?"

His voice sounded indistinct and hoarse, slurred, and the alcohol had numbed his tongue to make it difficult for him to even speak.

However, in the face of this sloppy old man who was slurring his articulation, Hua Yan and Hua An did not dare to slack off in the slightest, shook their heads, and after barely gaining a foothold, Hua Yan said respectfully.

"Ancestors, younger generations, have something important to tell you!"

The ancestor of the Hua family frowned slightly, blinked his cloudy old eyes and said, "What's the matter, don't tell me anything about it recently, although I stay in this airtight wine cellar, my eyes are still looking outside." I know everything about you, there's nothing to tell me, you can do whatever you want, as long as you master it. ”

After that, he looked at Hua An again and said, "Xiao An, bring me a few more barrels of wine." ”

Hua An nodded, rushed to the side and moved two barrels of wine to the side and put them beside the ancestor of the Hua family, the ancestor of the Hua family couldn't wait to open the lid of the barrel, looked at the wine in the barrel, and smelled the fragrant wine, then raised his head to look at Hua Yan, and urged: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, don't delay me from drinking." ”

After speaking, the ancestor of the Hua family stood up tremblingly with the wine bottle in his hand, scooped up a bottle of wine, and was about to taste it, but heard Hua Yan speak

"It's not a recent thing, but a thing on my mind, something I've always wanted to do but didn't have the opportunity to do, I want to talk to the ancestor, I hope to ask the ancestor for his opinion. ”

The ancestor of the Hua family put down the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Hua Yan with interest, and said, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right, it has been a critical period for the rise of Washington recently, but the younger generation feels that his knowledge is still shallow, and his vision is still too narrow, and he is not yet able to lead Washington to the top, so the younger generation plans to leave Xuanyuan City and go outside to see the world. I hope you can allow it. ”

Hearing this, Hua An and the ancestor of the Hua family both showed a look of surprise, but they didn't expect that what Hua Yan had always wanted to do was actually to go out of Xuanyuan City to see, this matter greatly exceeded the expectations of the two.

However, without waiting for the ancestor of the Hua family to speak, Hui Lao suddenly appeared in front of Hua Yan, looked at it, and said.

"But if you are leaving, what will Washington do? Without you, won't all Washington's previous efforts be in vain?"

Hua Yan smiled slightly, "Return...... Yingying rest assured, Washington has a father in charge, there will be no problems! My experience is still too little, if I want to really make Washington rise, I have to go through more postgraduate examinations, and Xuanyuan City obviously can't give me a platform to test, only the outside world can make me grow up quickly!"

"But...... When will you be able to come back after you leave?" Hui Lao looked at Hua Yan with a reluctant face.

Hua Yan thought for a while and said, "It's three or five years in the shortest, and ten or eight years in the most." ”
