Chapter 123

It's no good for you to know too much about him.

This is not the first time Zhansi has heard his daughter say this. A few times ago, he always thought that Zhan Zhao was using this as an excuse to deal with him, but at this moment today, after seeing the two generals eagerly shaking hands with Qin Zhao, he realized that what his daughter said To be honest, Qin Zhao is not what he imagined at all, he is a small white-collar worker. The background behind him is not at all comparable to his deputy mayor.

Zhan Sansi tightly closed his lips, suppressing the huge thirst for knowledge in his heart, he could only give that person a hard look through the window. Then he sighed helplessly in his heart, his darkened face was covered with old age. Now he finally understands that some things and some people are beyond the control of him, a deputy mayor with a very tall image in the eyes of ordinary people. Although he was unwilling, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

The unspeakable taste of bitterness is not limited to ordinary people.

Commissar Yang and Commander Lian had known Qin Zhao more than half a year ago, and they met for the first time at the door of the General Secretary's study. At that time, Qin Zhao was like a terracotta warrior, standing calmly at the door of the general secretary's study, looking at every general who walked into the general secretary's study, like a big butler of a landlord and rich family looking at those poor Like long-term workers, he looked at them calmly and casually. On the contrary, while Qin Zhao was able to call out the names of every general when seeing off the general secretary, he also left a deep impression on every general.

The prime minister's concierge, the fourth-rank official, this sentence is the truth.

But today, after the two generals have learned of Qin Zhao's real identity through some special channels, the acquaintance after a few encounters has become the acquaintance of old friends after meeting. In particular, the two generals further confirmed the authenticity of the information they had obtained after seeing Song Yingxia, the daughter of Chief of Staff Song, timidly calling out to him for his little cousin. As for why Su Chonghe's daughter, the vice chairman of the Central Committee, looked at Qin Zhao with different eyes, the two generals didn't want to speculate too much. They are about the same age, talented and beautiful, who cares?

Qin Zhao stroked Song Yingxia's hair with the frivolous gesture of others, which was a response to her little cousin. Two red clouds immediately appeared on Miss Song's face, and she became even more coy and uneasy. Her half-drowned head was almost close to her chest. If Jing Hongxue hadn't pulled Suning to greet her, I don't know if she would have been so obediently staring at the pair of deerskin half-height leather boots under her feet.

How did she become so showy? Qin Zhao didn't understand Song Yingxia's reaction at all. You know, there was a time when this innocent-looking chick was so aggressive that she wanted to break her leg just because she touched her butt by accident.

When Qin Zhao and the two generals were almost finished exchanging greetings, the door of the third Hummer opened. Everyone also looked at the car in unison, including the Zhansansi woman in Ward 303. Because many of them really can't figure out who is this person who dared to make the two generals wait for a long time.

First, two middle-aged people came down, both in their thirties and forties. Wearing ordinary casual clothes, just like the office workers who can be seen casually on the road, except for the occasional flash of light in the eyes, it is simply ordinary and cannot be more ordinary. It wasn't until one of them nodded towards the car that the protagonist of the third Humvee got out of the car in a thousand calls.

He is not wearing the conspicuous military uniforms of the two generals, just like the two people beside him who are inseparable. A light gray jacket with open arms may be his favorite. He was in his early forties, and his eyes under his head of black hair were full of wisdom, but the corners of his mouth that turned up occasionally were strikingly similar to that dirty Qin Zhao. He was not well dressed, but he had the aura of a superior person faintly on his body. His eyes swept over everyone casually, but everyone, including Li Erwa, held their breath.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on Qin Zhao's face.

"This is my father, and also your little uncle." Song Yingxia told him softly, still stroking the place Qin Zhao touched just now. Suning, who was with her, didn't react in any surprise. On the other hand, Jing Hongxue's joy was beyond words. The bigger Qin Zhao's background, the easier it is for her brother Jing Hong's life.

Qin Zhao smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand gracefully, but he didn't meet him with his footsteps. Because he knows that in front of such a big person, all you have to do is wait patiently and not take the initiative, even if this person may be your own uncle, because the two people around him will definitely stop you from taking the initiative to join him. go up. Qin Zhao was born in the Central Guard, so he understands the rules very well.

Qin Zhao's approach was understood by the two generals, Suning and a few others, but the rest of the people felt nervous: This kid is putting on airs so full. Although they couldn't guess the real identity of this middle-aged man, could the man who had been waiting for the two generals be... small?

"Qin, Qin Zhao?" The middle-aged man stared at Qin Zhao closely, as if he had never seen him by his elder brother's side, or maybe he had seen him but never looked at him seriously. Although there were obvious doubts in his tone, even a blind man could tell that he was suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Hello, Uncle Song." After a moment of silence, Qin Zhao decided to call his little uncle Song Lanyue by this name. This made Song Lanyue's calm heart skip a beat, and his helplessness and disappointment were conveyed to him through his eyes.

Perhaps because they noticed the gloomy eyes of Chief of Staff Song, Political Commissar Yang and Commander Lian looked at each other, and at the same time they laughed heartily to make a relief: "Xiao Qin, shall we visit your mother first? There are so many people standing here What is it? Those who don’t know think we are here to inspect the work. The influence is not good, the influence is not good.”

Dean Liu once again showed his well-deserved slickness. After hearing what the two generals said, he immediately stood up from behind the crowd, his body slightly arched, his well-maintained face covered with a sincere smile, and he followed the words in pure Mandarin. The two generals said: "Yes, yes, it's windy outside, let's go in first." In fact, he really wanted to invite the two generals and the middle-aged man into his dean's office, and it would be best to talk to them again. Take a photo together, then enlarge it and hang it on the wall.

Song Lanyue put away the disappointment and helplessness in his heart, and smiled gently at Dean Liu at the words of the two generals, and after agreeing with their suggestion, he said to Qin Zhao: "That's good, let's go see your mother first. .” After speaking, he patted Qin Zhao’s * with his left hand.

Now Dean Liu knows that Qin Zhao is not only not mentally handicapped, but also might be stronger than him, a smart person. After hearing what Song Lanyue said, Dang took a few steps forward, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face: "Leaders, please follow me."

Accompanied by Qin Zhao and the two generals, Song Lanyue and his party walked to the inpatient building. When the commander of the company passed by Li Jianfeng and his party, his feet were half a beat slower, and he was a little behind the Yang government. He asked him in a low voice: "Lieutenant Li Jianfeng, right? You are doing very well. Achievements are rewarded.”

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Chief." Seeing that the commander of the military division remembered his name, Li Jianfeng blushed for a moment, and his body trembling slightly as he stood upright in salute. He really didn't expect that just to help Qin Zhao do what he should do, the benefits would fall from the sky like no money, and hit him hard on the head, making him dizzy and unable to stand still . Even the next work arranged by Comrade Commander was done by his second lieutenant Wang Sihai who promised to complete it for him.

After watching the chiefs enter the inpatient department surrounded by the middle-aged man and Lieutenant Qin, Li Jianfeng gradually came to his senses and asked Wang Sihai anxiously: "What did the chief say just now? I didn't hear clearly. "

"Company commander, you have developed a lot. The commander still remembers your name and said that he will personally award you."

"Don't, don't talk about what I heard. Tell me, tell me what the chief ordered just now." Li Jianfeng kicked Wang Sihai lightly and asked repeatedly. Winning an award is impossible. The most important thing is to complete the important task that was given by the chief because I was too excited just now.

"The chief asked us to cooperate with the comrades of the plainclothes guards, and we must ensure the safety of Chief of Staff Song." Wang Sihai glanced at the crowd, licked his lips and said, "So that person is Chief of Staff Song, and he will personally Come to our place? It's unbelievable."

"Wang Sihai, Li Erwa, and Wang Youqian, the three of you are guarding the east gate. I, Xiao Fujian, Cao Mengde and I are guarding the hall of the south gate. Immediately carry out the task!" Li Jianfeng is not in the mood to think like Wang Sihai now. Why did Chief of Staff Song come here? After assigning the tasks as quickly as possible, he first stood in front of the south gate with his chest straight. After Wang Sihai was taken aback for a moment, he immediately called Li Erwa and ran to the east gate. The soles of the feet are striding stars, and they are more vigorous than when they helped Qin Zhao seal the mountain. People are in good spirits on happy occasions...

Song Lanyue stepped into the door of the intensive care unit, and when he first saw Song Lan lying quietly on the hospital bed with a pale face, his nose started to sore and his eyes began to blur. The person lying on the bed was the younger sister whom the three brothers of the Song family had been ashamed of for thirty years. Unexpectedly, the first time they met after thirty years, they met in a coma. Let go of her daughter's hand supporting her arm, and slowly walk towards the hospital bed, slowly sit on the edge of the bed, gently caress Song Lan's pale face with her raised hand, the corners of her mouth twitch and say in a very low voice: " Lan Xia, I'm here to see you." The oppressive atmosphere immediately infected everyone, and Song Yingxia couldn't help sobbing slightly. When she and Yue Jinyang came last time, little aunt was safe and sound.

Song Lanxia is two years younger than Song Lanyue, but her energy and body make Song Lanyue look much younger than her sister. Especially after experiencing a great panic, the few white strands on Song Lanxia's temples were even more conspicuous, and at the same time made Song Lanyue even more guilty.

The nurses in the intensive care unit had already left in a hurry under the winks of Director Liu. They didn't understand at all who this woman in the special care ward was. Two generals came to see her. Moreover, when they left the door of the ward, two men in plainclothes who were guarding the door used nothing but Emotionally ordered, no one is allowed to enter the intensive care unit without their permission.

Looking at Song Lanyue who was holding Song Lanxia's hand and hadn't said anything for a long time, Political Commissar Yang and Commander Lian glanced at each other, then Political Commissar Yang said to Suning in a low voice, "Shall we go out first?"

Before Su Ning understood what was going on, Dean Liu Zifei understood the chief's meaning as quickly as possible, raised his eyelids, and also invited the chief in a low voice: "Hehe, the chiefs came from a long way. Let's go outside for a drink first?"

Commander Lian was very satisfied with Dean Liu's shrewdness, nodded and said to Qin Zhao: "Xiao Qin, the expert team from Jinghua is probably coming soon, you can accompany Chief of Staff Song first, and political commissar Yang and I will arrange it. "After speaking without asking for instructions, Song Lanyue, who was still bowing his head and weeping silently, quietly exited the ward with several people. For a while, only Song Lan's father-in-law and Qin Zhao were left in the ward.

"Father, my little aunt will be fine." Song Yingxia walked behind Song Lanyue and rubbed his butt with her hands to comfort him.

After being persuaded by her daughter's gentle words, Song Lanyue sighed in a low voice, as if afraid of waking up the unconscious little sister. After tucking her hands under the quilt for her, he turned around and smiled at Qin Zhao, and said mockingly: "Old man, I always like to recall some things from the past." After a pause, he continued: "I have something to say to you. You alone."

"Well, you can smell the sea in the distance at the end of the corridor outside." Qin Zhao turned around and walked out of the ward first, walking towards the window at the end of the corridor. After learning that Jinghua's expert team was coming soon, his heart finally returned to peace, and he became indifferent again. With almost the power of the entire China to support my mother, even if she wants to have an accident, she can't help her, so what else is there to worry about?

Song Lanyue smiled wryly, avoiding her daughter's mischievous eyes. From Song Yingxia's eyes, he could see the message: Is my little cousin very attractive? Even if you are the chief of staff, you didn't scare him, did you? What's more, me and Yue Jinyang's kind of brat? It was obvious that he didn't see it. So you are not allowed to say that my daughter is not doing things well in the future.

Qin Zhao opened a tea-colored glass window to let the fresh and soft wind penetrate. It felt like his mother's hand touching his face when he was a child, gently bringing out all the tenderness.

The building of the inpatient department is not the tallest building in Qingdao, and since the urban area of ​​Qingdao is still quite a distance from the sea, it is impossible to see the so-called sea from here. However, because of a sudden rainstorm last night, it really washed the sky severely, making those white clouds, which are usually like cotton, appear to be more gentle in the blue sky, and they are everywhere. Live the beauty of life.

"Smoking?"

A special red panda was handed over from one side. For this kind of top-quality tobacco that is only available within the central government, Qin Zhao has never been lucky enough to smoke it since the day he left the general secretary's side. Recalling that at that time, the general secretary of the People's Republic of China, which he dutifully guarded, turned out to be his own uncle, and Qin Zhao felt a sense of misfortune. That's right, the general secretary at that time had a lot of work to do every day, and he didn't know how many important tasks he had to do every day. How could he pay attention to the internal guards who were guarding his door and by his side?

"I never refuse to be offered a cigarette for me, as long as you don't mind the express prohibition on smoking." Qin Zhao took the special red panda between his hands, took out the lighter and lit it for Song Lanyue, one old and one young Leaning in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, he silently admired the scenery outside the window. In the 100-meter-long corridor, except for the two guards at the gate of Song Lanxia, ​​there was no one walking around in the corridor. The nurses had obviously received some instructions.

"Hey," Song Lanyue chuckled, with a cunning look in his eyes that didn't match his identity: "Anyway, everyone here was kicked out by me, except for my two personal guards, probably no one would dare to come to us for a fine Yes." As he spoke, he glanced at the slogan "No Smoking, Violators will be fined" posted there, and after taking another big puff, he said, "I have three wishes when I come to Qing Island this time."

When a cigarette was about to burn out, Song Lanyue extinguished it with two fingers, and conveniently put the cigarette butt into his pocket. From this point of caring for public health, it is enough to make Qin Zhao, who is throwing cigarette butts everywhere after smoking, feel ashamed. Following his example, after putting the cigarette butt in his pocket, Qin Zhao smiled silently and said, "I'm listening."

"First, we must see that the little sister of our old Song family who has been missing for thirty years is safe and sound. Second, let the little sister's child call me little uncle." Song Lanyue took out two more cigarettes and handed them to Qin Zhaoyi involuntarily. pieces. The latter had no choice but to ignite it for him again. But I muttered in my heart: If I knew that I would continue to smoke, I would just light the cigarette with the cigarette butt, why bother me to press the lighter again, it seems that you are not good enough in the place where saving is important.

Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, the mellow smoke turned into two long dragons floating in the air along the nostrils. After being blown by the wind, Qin Zhao shrugged the shoulders that he hated before. He moved, and said calmly: "Little uncle, now I can tell you that both of your wishes have come true."

Only fools and those ignorant gentlemen will willingly push this kind of real family affection plus unlimited benefits to others. Someone Qin is not a fool, he is even smarter than any normal person. Of course, he is not a pedantic gentleman, the kind of gentleman who sticks to his creed is the object of his shame, and there is a more important point that makes him dislike the word gentleman, that is, a gentleman usually sits in his arms. To be a real gentleman like that, then, it would be better to kill him.

After hearing what his nephew said, Song Lanyue's eyes flickered, and the worry and sadness he had just seen Song Lanxia disappeared in an instant. The whole person's waist has also straightened up a lot. What he regrets most now is why this guy who looks exactly like his big brother Song Lanjiang has been under everyone's noses for so long, and no one admits the truth that his nephew looks like an uncle. As for the fact that he almost couldn't go home.

"Hehe, good boy, he's smart enough." Song Lanyue thumped Qin Zhao * lightly, and said with some admiration, "Then tell me, what is my third wish?" Qin Zhao's small voice Uncle, it was indeed like a smoothing pill, which made him calm down a lot.

"The third wish is of course inseparable from your nephew's mouth that can turn black into white." Qin Zhao began to talk nonsense again regardless of the occasion: "The third wish of my uncle must be Don't you want my mother who is dreaming and wants to go back to my childhood to call you little brother?"

After Song Lanyue was taken aback for a moment, he heard Qin Zhao's meaning from what he said. Punching on his chest again, he laughed and said, "You are indeed the son of our old Song family! You are as smart as me, but careless like your cousins. That's right, you guessed it right again this time."

My surname is Qin, okay? If it weren't for seeing Song Lanyue, who is so stern-faced every day, so forgetfully happy at this time, Qin Zhao would like to remind him of a fact: the blood of the old Qin family is flowing in my bones, and the ancestors of my old Qin family are included in the history of China. The famous Qin Hui and Prime Minister Qin... But since he is the greatest prime minister and cannot compete with the current general secretary, I still admit that you are right, right?

"Hey, the blood is connected by anyone and any misunderstanding can't be changed. I can guarantee that after my mother wakes up, the first thing she will say is hello little brother, little brother has worked hard..." This is the same as the Chinese People's Liberation Army The chief of the general staff said, it seems that Qin has made up his mind this time not to be astonishing and endless.

Song Lanyue was stunned again, and then his whole face suddenly bloomed like a flower in spring. On weekdays, due to work reasons, he had to develop a majestic face. Even when facing his naughty daughter, he scolded him more than indulged him, let alone someone who would dare to say such presumptuous words in front of him.

The things that are rarely obtained are the most precious. After Song Lanyue listened to his nephew's witty words, he finally felt it for real. Although this kind of joke is very normal among ordinary people, it has not been heard of for many years for him, the chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army who is under a few people and over tens of millions.

Seeing Song Lanyue was indeed very happy, so Qin Zhao took this opportunity to do self-criticism. He took out the Flying Wolf Jade Finger Wrench from his pocket and handed it over: "This time it was all because of this thing that got into trouble. I was too careless to cause such a big trouble." Coming out is the best way to stop others from complaining.

Well, the smile on Song Lanyue's face slowly faded, took the jade wrench, looked out of the window carefully for a while, and then said, "Do you know the legend of this jade wrench?" His own explanation, because he knows that if his nephew knows the importance of this finger pull, he will not lose it easily: "It is said that after An Lushan, which is well-known in history, was defeated by Guo Ziyi, he hid in Da'anling It was the treasure that was found by it. Although this is just a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, it did attract the attention of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the 1940s. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed between the incidents, those people It’s hard to believe that they still have such a good memory.”

"It's not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it." Qin Zhao explained this kind of behavior in some countries for him.

However, this is the first time Qin Zhao has heard of the jade finger being involved in the treasure. In the past, he always regarded it as a kind of sustenance for his mother to miss her son who traveled far away. Who would have thought that this antique jade wrench would have a relationship with such famous people in history as An Lushan and Guo Ziyi? Are they inextricably linked? It's really lucky that he didn't know about it after wearing a jade finger for so many years. .

"Well, then I think it's better for uncle to take it back. I'm afraid that someone will spy on it again, and I won't be able to sleep well." This sentence is just a face-saving remark. He said it in an indifferent tone, but he was actually very afraid that Song Lanyue would take this opportunity to return the jade to Song...

Song Lanyue glanced at him, but apart from the sincerity in his eyes, there was indeed no trace of greed for money, and he couldn't help admiring his nephew again from the bottom of his heart for being a man who could afford to let go. But how does he know that no matter how much he regrets saying this, Mr. Qin has already practiced the kung fu of pasting a layer of black newspaper on the window of his soul. Besides my mother who couldn't understand, anyone, including Song Lanyue, Chief of Staff of the Song Dynasty, who had seen countless people, could only see the sincerity in his eyes, but could not guess the dirty thoughts in his heart.

Song Lanyue shook his head, and returned the jade finger to Qin Zhao: "No, I think this is something that my younger sister risked to protect. If there is no younger sister, how can I have it? Naturally, I will leave it to you to keep. Besides, Even if it can really bring people an incomparably rich treasure, it won't be of much help to my uncle's current status, on the contrary, it can only keep people in check."

After calmly taking the jade finger, Qin's heart fell into his stomach: "When my condition stabilizes a little, I will make those behind-the-scenes messengers pay the price they should pay." Seemingly Inadvertently changing the subject, Qin was actually afraid that Song Lanyue would take back what he had just said if he regretted it. I don't know if this counts as treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

"Well, don't take revenge and be a son of man." To Qin Zhao's surprise, Song Lanyue did not stop his idea, but instead supported him to go to some people to seek justice: "You first ask Suning to help you with the information Collect them, and ask your former old partner Tie Molei for help, I think the elder brother will not object to this matter. But your mother may not be willing to let you take risks."

"Really?" Qin Zhao's eyes lit up. He thought about it all night last night, still worrying about his gray identity and not being able to go abroad, and without the help of the entire country before, he was completely sure. Now, with the full support of the Chief of Staff of the People's Liberation Army, Qin Zhao really can't think of any other strength that he can't borrow. Especially when he heard that his uncle agreed with him to cooperate with Suning's intelligence department and Tie Molei, who is known as a gentleman in March in Longteng's December, his hand that just shook the gun last night couldn't help itching .

"But you have to be careful. The other thing is that your mother has to agree." Now that Song Lanyue knows that this guy is his own nephew, even if he believes that he has a glorious record of performing tasks no less than a hundred times without a single failure, he dare not take it lightly Let him take risks, this is everyone's selfishness. Song Lanyue is also human after putting aside the halo, and of course he also has selfish intentions. Seeing Qin Zhao's eagerness to try, Song Lanyue said again: "However, there is one more important thing that I haven't said yet."

"What's the matter?" Qin Zhao said excitedly, "As long as you give me back my dignified identity, I will spare no effort to carry out your instructions." Zhaoxue, it should be possible.

Sure enough, Song Lanyue never thought about such a trivial matter. Now that his nephew brought it up, he remembered that his nephew went home to "live and work in peace and contentment" through some means. After being stunned for a while, he laughed: "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it for you. I didn't know you were my nephew before, so it's okay. But now that I'm your uncle, hum! You will not allow those people to dictate to you again."

"Hey, uncle smokes..." Qin Zhao shamelessly stuffed the jade wrench into his pocket after hearing the strong guarantee, and at the same time took out the ten yuan a box of cigarettes he carried with him to honor Song Lanyue: "Smoke, though It’s a bit awkward, but it also smokes. Besides, I’m trying not to waste money as much as possible... Can you tell me what the latest instruction is?”

The pack of cigarettes in Qin Zhao's hand was not at all what he said he bought this kind of cigarettes for the sake of not wasting them. He picked them up from someone's pocket in the morning when he was being polite with Li Jianfeng and the others. If it is to save money for smoking, he does not have this good habit, and he never loses tens of dollars in a pack of cigarettes he usually smokes. His father is a billionaire, and he is the only precious son under his knees. It really makes someone Qin come up with any reason to save money for him.

Song Lanyue didn't think of these twists and turns in his heart. He casually glanced at the crumpled cigarette case, took a cigarette but didn't light it, and put on the face that made Qin look so rigid and serious again. Said: "Tonight at ten o'clock, the general secretary will come to see his little sister... Don't be surprised, I know that your uncle misses you as much as I do. If your second uncle had an investigation mission in Russia, He will come too." Staring closely at Qin Zhao's eyes, he said in a serious tone, "The mission entrusted to you is to make full use of your strengths to cooperate with the army brought by the company commander. The safety of your uncle, whether it is for the country or for you personally, you have this obligation and responsibility, and there is no room for any mistakes! .
