Chapter 366: He's Not an Ordinary Person
Just when Zhao Sidong promised to teach Xu Mingjie to cultivate immortals, a rare guest was ushered in in the Zhao family's compound in the imperial capital. ()
This rare guest is naturally the pillar of the Xiao family, Old Man Xiao, after making an appointment by phone, he took his secretary to visit Old Man Zhao in the Zhao family's compound.
Although the two old ladies live in the Xishan villa area, due to various reasons, it is usually extremely difficult to meet.
"Comrade Bowei, why do you have time to come here today?" In the living room, Old Man Zhao asked with a smile.
Bowei is the name of Old Man Xiao, and Xiao Bowei, the former No. 3 leader, is also very famous in the Chinese political arena.
Old Man Xiao smiled indifferently, "Comrade Changkai, this time I came here, in fact, there is a little thing I want to ask you for verification. ”
Although the tone was calm, it was difficult to hide the anger in it.
"Oh, you can just say something on the phone, and you have to run this trip yourself, it seems that the thing you want to ask is definitely not small. Old Man Zhao looked at him thoughtfully, stood up and said, "Since there is something to discuss, please come to the study and sit down." ”
Old Man Xiao did not object, leaving the secretary in the living room, and he followed Old Man Zhao upstairs.
When I came to the study and sat down, the nanny brought the tea and then consciously retreated and closed the study door.
Old Man Zhao held the teacup and said with a smile: "Bowei, just ask if there is anything, you and I have been friends for so many years, we will not grow old but become lively, right?"
Hearing this, the expression on Old Man Xiao's face also softened a lot, indeed, when the two of them met, Huaxia was still in the Anti-Japanese War period.
At that time, the two joined the army one after another, and saved each other's lives by coincidence, which can be said to have established a deep revolutionary friendship in the war, and later established New China, and at the same time served as a senior cadre in the administrative field, step by step to the center of power in China.
During the period when Mr. Zhao was in charge of Huaxia, Mr. Xiao, as one of his deputies, played a very important role, and people often put them together for evaluation when they mentioned that period of time.
However, since retiring, out of consideration for avoiding suspicion, the interaction between the two has become less and less, and in the end, except for the New Year, they can see each other every year, and they usually don't meet all year round.
If it's not a big deal, don't even call the other person much.
In addition, there will inevitably be some disagreements and conflicts in the development process of their respective families, so the relationship between the two has gradually faded a lot.
Of course, this is also a no-brainer.
If the Zhao family is the most powerful one among the red families in the first echelon of the imperial capital, then the Xiao family is also a force that is enough to rank in the top three.
The first and third, if they get too close, it's hard to say what the current No. 1 chief will think in his heart.
Don't look at the current No. 1 chief, who used to be a student of Old Man Zhao, but after all, he also has his own forces and interests, and it is impossible to supply the Zhao family.
So if the Zhao family and the Xiao family get too close, it won't be a good thing, and if it doesn't work, it will cause a political earthquake in the imperial capital, which is not what the two old people want to see.
Seeing that Old Man Xiao's mood had eased a lot, Old Man Zhao asked, "Say, what do you want to ask me?"
"Alas, Brother Changkai, I can't hide it, this time I'm here to inquire about your grandson's situation. Your third child's name is Zhao Sidong, right?" Old Man Xiao asked with a sigh.
Old Man Zhao glanced at him in some surprise, "That's right, it's called that." Bovi, why are you paying attention to him, this kid won't have a conflict with your family, right?"
Old Man Xiao smiled bitterly, "I haven't finished asking yet, does he have some special skills?"
"Special skills?" Old Man Zhao's eyes flashed, and he asked lightly: "Can you explain it clearly, what happened?"
Originally, Old Man Xiao suddenly visited, he was a little strange, but now when he heard this question, the old lady understood a little in his heart - probably because there was some conflict between Sidong's kid and the people of the Xiao family, and he also showed some ability, so he let Xiao Bowei come to the door.
Old Man Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "Actually, it's not a big deal, my daughter, Xiao Yuelan, do you remember?"
"Of course I remember, when she got married, but she poured me wine, how could I forget?" Old Man Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, she should be working in Ludong Province, right?"
Old Man Xiao nodded, "Yes, she works at the Education Department of Ludong Province. Yuelan, this girl, gave birth to a son, named Rongguang, this time I came to ask you about something, in fact, it is related to Rongguang. ”
Old Man Zhao looked at him with some doubts, "I've heard the name of your grandson, it seems that he is not famous in the imperial capital." ”
"Uh......" Old Man Xiao's face flashed with embarrassment, Glory's reputation in the imperial capital is indeed not small, but that fame is not positive, there are good deeds to list it as one of the 'four sons of the imperial capital', but in fact, it is just the four evils of the imperial capital.
Old Man Zhao asked a little funny: "Do you want to say that there is some conflict between Rongguang and my family Sidong?"
"That's not ......" Old Man Xiao no longer cared about him, and directly told Rong Guang about his disappearance for no reason after he hit someone dead, "That's the way it is, because the victim is friends with your grandson, so I doubt that Rong Guang will be arrested by him." ”
Old Man Zhao's brows furrowed tightly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Bo Wei, you haven't done a very good job in educating your descendants, Glory is your grandson, and every word and deed when you go out represents your image, if something really big happens, won't your old bones still be implicated?"
Old Man Xiao sighed, "Of course I know this, but it's a pity that when I was a child, in order to make up for the damage I brought to Yuelan back then, it was inevitable that I indulged in the little rabbit cub Rongguang...... It's too late to say this now, I just want to know, is that grandson of yours really superb?"
Old Man Zhao groaned for a while, and did not answer him directly, but raised his hand and gently grabbed him.
"Ah......" Old Man Xiao only felt a strange suction force appear out of thin air, pulled his body towards Old Man Zhao's side, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Don't be nervous, Bervey, I just wanted to explain one thing to you. As soon as Old Man Zhao's hand was released, the suction disappeared again, and Old Man Xiao stumbled under his feet and almost sat on the ground.
Old Man Xiao covered his chest with his hands, his face was a little pale, "What do you want to explain?"
Old Man Zhao walked up to him and helped him to sit down on the sofa, smiling apologetically, "Bovi, how did you feel just now?"
"You...... Try it yourself!" Old Man Xiao snorted angrily, his eyes froze, and he turned his head and shouted: "I said Brother Changkai, you did the ghost just now, ......right?"
Old Man Zhao laughed proudly, "That's right, I did a trick on you just now! Come on, come on, I'll give you another show!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a chair not far away, and then saw the chair swaying towards it.
This scene made Old Man Xiao stunned, and muttered: "Brother Changkai, what kind of trick are you playing......"
After a hard 'performance', Old Man Zhao slowly collected his work, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and laughed: "This is not a trick, it is a real kung fu!" Let me tell you, I am now a martial artist in the congenital Great Perfection stage, and I am only one step away from breaking through to the foundation building period and achieving Jindan Zhenren!"
"Innate Great Perfection...... Foundation building period...... Jindan real ...... I said, Brother Changkai, I don't remember that you had cultivated before, why did you suddenly become so powerful now?" Old Man Xiao looked at him with understanding, "The reason why you look younger is only because I am afraid that it has something to do with your kung fu, can you teach me too?"
After asking this sentence, he knew that he had lost his words.
Whoever knows this kind of kung fu has to hide it, how can it be easily taught to outsiders?
He knew that although he had a good relationship with Old Man Zhao before, the power in his hands was getting bigger and higher, and his status was getting higher and higher, and there was inevitably a slight estrangement between the two. And this gap reached its maximum after they each reached the top.
So now the relationship between them is actually not as good as before, in such a situation, how can you expect Old Man Zhao to teach him?
As expected, Old Man Zhao smiled silently, and changed the topic and said: "Bowei, don't believe me, don't look at my age now, but if I really compete with those little soldiers in the army now, I can abuse them to the point of crying!"
Old Man Xiao was silent for a moment, and then asked slowly, "Brother Changkai, I'm afraid this kind of ability is not something you knew before, right?"
"That's right, I won't hide this from you, my grandson only taught me last year. Old Man Zhao said meaningfully: "Speaking of Sidong, this kid, he is not an ordinary person! Bo Wei, do you believe it, there is no one in this world who can hurt him, even if it is to blow him up with a nuclear bomb!"
Naturally, there is some moisture in these words, if Zhao Sidong really cultivates to the Merge Dao Period, or has a cultivation equivalent to the Merge Dao Period, then there is really no way to take him with a nuclear bomb.
But now...... If he really encounters a nuclear bomb, he can only roll as far as he can, even if he has the best magic weapon to protect him, he will not dare to stay within the power range of the nuclear bomb explosion.
Old Man Xiao didn't speak, frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Brother Changkai, you and I have known each other for decades, I will tell you today, if your grandson is really so powerful, I want to ask him for a favor......"
