District 9

At the dinner table, Meng Xi asked Li Zhan in a low voice: "Commander Qi also has a sister?"

"Yes." Li Zhan nodded and replied: "When Qi Lin came out of Songjiang, he took his mother and sister with him, but...but then her mother died of illness, and Qi Lin and his sister were the only ones left at home. There’s no one else.”

"Oh." Meng Xi suddenly realized.

"Well, this is a reward after all the hardships. It was not easy for Qi Lin before." Li Zhan introduced him while he was idle: "His sister was blind due to illness. At that time, Qi Lin was poor... couldn't afford to cure it. I thought this girl would be blind for the rest of her life... Later, the conditions improved. Qi Lin contacted many doctors and found a matching cornea... and performed the surgery. And there may not be one successful case among hundreds of cases, but Fortunately... this girl caught up and her eyesight gradually recovered. Although there are sequelae, at least she is not disabled anymore."

"That was really painful." Meng Xi nodded slowly.

"Alas, you came late, and many things are unclear. In fact, the stories of the old brothers who followed Xiao Yu from Songjiang are not simple." Li Zhan said in a low voice: "Alas, to be able to make it this far... is really A bloody path has been carved from the bottom."

The two were chatting, and the old cat immediately asked sideways, "What are you two talking about?"

Li Zhan looked at the old cat and immediately joked: "Why are you here to join in the fun at the military-government cocktail party? Aren't you afraid of being labeled as a gangster?"

"Looking at the three major districts, who the hell dares to touch me, Li Fugui, now?" Old Mao replied in an arrogant tone.

"Haha, look at him, he is the only one among the old people in Songjiang who has a simple story. He was Lao Li's nephew in the beginning, and he directly policed ​​him in the middle. In the later period, he married Miss Zheng Kai and took off completely." Li Zhan gritted his teeth and looked at the old cat. He scolded: "His dad had foresight... he named him a rich guy... and it was a fool's errand, and now it has really come true!"

When the old cat heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Why don't you tell me, I have been an orphan since I was a child! Am I happy? Was my childhood happy? I have suffered all my sins in front of me, okay?!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Ma Laoer said speechlessly: "Only my Cat Brother can say this."

While talking and laughing, Meng Xi accidentally glanced at Qi Yu who was sitting back at the women's table, and felt slightly startled.

Qi Yu's thin figure, timid eyes, slightly reserved expression, and clean and beautiful cheeks instantly melted Lao Meng's heart. He felt that the other person was as pure as a character in a comic.

The old cat stretched out his hand and poked Meng Xi: "Well, isn't my sister pretty?"

Meng Xi was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about? Brother Cat!"

"We are all men, who doesn't know who the other is?" Old Mao replied in a low voice: "...Brother, I am also married, otherwise Qi Lin will accept whatever I say...I am my brother-in-law. You You know, I have had feelings for Qi Yu since I was a child."

"Beast!" Meng Xi cursed in his heart.

"The threshold for Commander Qi's family is now so high that most people can't reach it, but you are different... You are the adopted son adopted by our old black brother in his later years, and you are one of our own from all angles. Therefore, our own family digests our own family. Man, it’s not a shame to ride on a horse.” The old cat said in a low voice: “If you ask the old gangster to say a word, the matter will be half done.”

Meng Xi looked at him: "...What are you playing with Ying Yizi?!"

"This is not shabby, it's just a nickname." Old Mao pointed at everyone and said: "Look at these people, which one has never been adopted as a son?"

"Go away! None of us have ever thought of it!" Qi Lin shouted back.

While Lao Mao was chatting with everyone, his wife Zheng Ya came over and whispered: "Drink less and talk less!"

The old cat looked up at her and nodded slowly: "Oh, I understand."

"Ha ha!"

The old people from the Songjiang clan laughed again.

While laughing, Meng Xi looked at Qi Yu again, her heart still trembling.

…

The dinner ended in a happy atmosphere. The generals from various regions continued to inquire. After visiting, they all roughly knew what title they would be awarded, what achievements they would make, and which unit and department they would eventually be transferred to. , it is difficult to judge yet.

Some people say that the higher-ups will use the situation of disrupting the troop numbers to send the generals who were originally united by various factions to the troops of other factions in batches to take up positions; others say that a group of veteran generals may be dismissed after their titles are awarded. Take a job as a sinecure...

In short, there are many things to say, but everyone knows in their hearts that when the military and political conference is held in three days, it means that the warlord faction will completely disappear from the new government system.

Two days later, the border area.

Xiao Qinglong's investigation results came back. He learned that Yuchen, who claimed to be the secretary of Changji rich man, was indeed telling the truth, so Xiao Qinglong's thoughts became vivid.

If a family suppressed by the Ministry of Military Intelligence wants to flee overseas, how much money should they take with them? ! Xiao Qinglong only needs to knock on each other along the way, and the money deducted may be enough for him to retire directly.

However, although Xiao Qinglong's business ability is not very good, he has sufficient social experience. He is very cautious. He originally wanted Xiao Baihu to come forward to control this matter, while he hides behind the scenes and controls the situation, so that the safety factor can be higher.

But what Xiao Qinglong didn't expect was that after the superiors learned about this, they actually found him personally and asked him to lead the team to run the matter well. To put it bluntly, even the upper management wanted to deduct some money on this matter, but the little white tiger was not very smart, and the boss was afraid that this idiot would screw up the matter.

There was pressure from the top, and Xiao Baihu also called Xiao Qinglong several times a day, so the latter had no choice but to prepare to meet Yuchen to discuss some details with him.

…

That night.

The military intelligence officers who came from Free City had secretly headed to the direction of Xu County Life Village, where they were preparing to launch an attack on the Sichuan government's special train entering the Eighth District.

This plan was formulated by Xiao Qinglong's team of superiors, and the executives were of high quality and determined to complete the plan even if they sacrificed themselves. To put it bluntly, they are brainwashed dead soldiers.

There were many officers from the Sichuan government waiting to be awarded medals on this train, as well as representatives of autonomous associations from various regions. It could be said that it was the core of everyone.

…

Yanbei.

After thinking about it for two days, Meng Xi finally took some gifts and went to the Chief's Villa to meet Qin Yu.

"Oh, Secretary-General Meng, you are such a rare visitor!" Qin Yu stepped in and teased him: "It's so difficult for me to see you now! Do I have to make an appointment in advance in the future...?"

"Commander-in-Chief, this is the tiger bone wine someone gave me. It keeps out the cold, strengthens yang, and is very strong..." Meng Xi placed the gift on the table.

Qin Yu looked at Meng Xi: "Are you okay?"

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I have something to ask of you."

"Go away, talk nicely!" Qin Yu scolded with a smile.

"Commander, let me tell you straight, I want to be Qi Lin's brother-in-law." Meng Xi said decisively.

"puff!"

Qin Yu squirted out a mouthful of tea and looked at the other party in disbelief: "You... what are you talking about? You have lived enough and you want to stab Qi Lin's sister?!"

at the same time.

He Chong looked at the report submitted by the military intelligence department in the fourth district, frowned and asked: "Can the person behind him be found?"

"We only know that he has a close relationship with the Sichuan government, but we have not found the person behind him yet."

"...!" He Chong looked at the photo and whispered: "Then kill him, and the person behind him will naturally come out."

"Yes!" the military intelligence officer saluted.
