Siheyuan: Since 51

No. 69, Repulse Bay.

The iron gate was wide open, and Huo Dong and his eldest son Huo Ting stood in the middle.

Fourteen-year-old Huo Ting is childish but steady.

Huo Dong took a puff of his cigarette and gave instructions again.

"A Ting, as the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting countless people. This Lin Zhiyuan, only 29 years old, can come to Hong Kong Island and stand on his own. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

Huo Ting nodded, glanced sideways and asked.

"Dad, will this Uncle Lin definitely come?"

Huo Dong's eyes were shining and he was extremely confident.

"must."

……

Not long after, Hu Yi drove a Volkswagen and slowly drove into the villa path.

After the car stopped, Lin Zhiyuan got out in a hurry.

"Mr. Huo, Brother Huo, I am flattered by you!"

The two shook hands and Huo Dong smiled heartily.

"It is only right that a distinguished guest comes to visit us."

Then he turned around and introduced, "Brother Lin, this is my son Huo Ting."

Huo Ting nodded hurriedly, "Uncle Lin, hello."

Lin Zhiyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at him for a few seconds, and smiled.

"He doesn't look young, but he is calm and composed, polite and generous. Brother Huo has a successor!"

Lin Zhiyuan was dressed in a pure black Tang suit and looked very elegant.

He is handsome, smiling, and speaks at a moderate pace, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Huo Dong couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, as expected, if someone was sent by the North, how could he be an ordinary person?

Huo Ting was also deeply moved, and said modestly: "Uncle Lin, you are too kind, I am far from it. You make people feel very kind, I will definitely learn from you."

Huo Dong's eyes flashed, revealing a bit of relief.

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and asked: "Why don't you learn from Brother Huo?"

Huo Ting glanced sideways and secretly glanced at Huo Dong.

Seeing the latter's encouraging look, he no longer hesitated and spoke seriously.

"My dad is very decisive, but also a little radical. I think it would be better if he could be a little softer."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled even more and sighed again.

"Brother Huo, you are so enviable!"

Huo Dong laughed a few times and raised his hand to signal.

"Come on, let's go in and talk. I want to listen carefully to such high praise."

As he said that, he pulled Lin Zhiyuan and walked into the yard.

Huo Ting slowed down a little.

Hu Yi followed closely behind, carrying a suitcase.

living room.

After greeting the Huo family, the two sat down and the servant served tea.

After Huo Dong finished smoking, he patted the sofa next to him.

"A Ting, sit down and listen to how your Uncle Lin praises you."

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands and immediately smiled: "Seek truth from facts, I am not exaggerating at all."

As he spoke, he analyzed it slowly.

"History has already given the answer. In every dynasty, the founding emperors were basically replaced by civil emperors. Why is that? To conquer the world, you need decisiveness, while to defend the country, you need gentleness. This is not just talk."

Huo Ting didn't quite understand.

Huo Dong fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked with a smile.

“Are there not two generations that both have the spirit of pioneering?”

Lin Zhiyuan nodded.

"Yes, there are. The most typical representatives are Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty."

Huo Dong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, took a puff of cigarette, and asked.

"These two are very different. Why?"

"Yang Guang took too big a step and ended up hurting himself. The imperial examinations, the construction of the Grand Canal, the expedition to Goguryeo, which one of these was not a heroic feat? Isn't it a sin in this generation, but a benefit for generations to come?"

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan sighed, "It's a pity that he was too impatient and caused unrest in the world, leading to the demise of the second generation."

Huo Dong was obviously interested and gestured with a smile.

"Go on, where is Zhu Di?"

"I have to say that Zhu Di has strong personal abilities and a good life."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan smacked his lips, "Empress Xu was virtuous, and Zhu Gaochi was ambitious. Or someone would joke that Zhu Di was his son's general who conquered the north, and Zhu Gaochi was the executive vice emperor during the Yongle era."

Huo Ting seemed to realize something and frowned slightly, as if he had something to say.

Lin Zhiyuan twitched his chin and asked, "A Ting, what do you want to say?"

Huo Ting pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"Uncle Lin, if that's the case, then you are so gentle, aren't you suitable for conquering the world?"

Lin Zhiyuan laughed a few times and then asked.

"Should I tell you the answer directly, or should you figure it out slowly as homework?"

It was just a normal chat, but Lin Zhiyuan unexpectedly took the opportunity to teach me a lesson.

Huo Dong's smile deepened, his brows couldn't help but bend slightly, and he followed the conversation and made a prelude.

"A Ting, this may be too difficult for you, why not let your Uncle Lin tell you."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Ting was very unconvinced.

"Dad, Uncle Lin, please prepare your homework!"

Huo Dong stood up slowly. "Then take your time to think about your homework. Your Uncle Lin and I have something to talk about."

After that, he gestured, "Brother Lin, let's sit in the study."

"it is good!"

The two came to the study room.

As soon as he sat down, Huo Dong went straight to the point.

"As early as the beginning of the year, I received news that someone was going to come to Hong Kong Island and asked me to help at the appropriate time. I waited and waited, but no one showed up."

As he spoke, a look of worry appeared on his face.

"Using checks and balances from all sides to pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth has a good effect, but isn't it a bit risky? From what I understand, John Bull is going to deploy mushroom eggs in Lion City, and the situation in Hong Kong Island is unclear."

Nuclear blackmail?

Lin Zhiyuan really didn't know, but he connected his memories of his past life and reversed the process, feeling a little relieved.

The British Empire did not completely collapse. Its colonies were spread all over the village and its influence still existed, but it was also at the end of its strength.

In the tribe, Da Piaoliang is the only one in power. How could they tolerate anyone jumping around, even if that person is John Bull?

After all, any coalition force must have its own calculations.

Based on this, it is likely that the newly appointed Ken will not support it.

The two extremes are opposite. If mushroom eggs become conventional weapons, they will be too dangerous, which is probably an important reason.

……

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Lin Zhiyuan smiled.

"It doesn't matter. The military situation is ever-changing, and the water has no constant shape."

Huo Dong couldn't help but be a little surprised. With a knife almost at his neck, he could still remain calm. Could it be that there was something in the north that I didn't know about?

After pondering for a long time, he didn't know what to say anymore and ended the topic hastily.

"Just be sensible."

After that, he turned to ask, "Is there anything I can do to help? Although I have a heart full of ambition, my identity is limited and my contacts are too narrow."

After hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan hesitated.

Apart from anything else, I'm so passionate that I can't bear to pour cold water on you.

According to the plan that had been made long ago, the next step would be most appropriate with Huo Dong's identity.

I had concerns before and was waiting for the right person, but now there is no need to do that.

Hey.

Since I received a call from Huo Dong this afternoon, my plan has been disrupted.

……

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyuan sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Huo Dong was confused and urged.

"Brother Lin, you should tell me something. You have been in Hong Kong Island for more than half a year, so you should have heard something about it. I am not bragging, but I do have some power."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother Huo, look at what you said, it's more than just a little bit of energy."
