The road ahead is not enough to pass through Yazong, and it is impossible to talk about it before. It is just a mess than a store of mouth, and it is not as convenient as walking on the road as a field.

So Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan took the birthday gift from the car, left the road, and passed through the field covered with wild flowers and weeds. This was a mountainous land and there was no farmland, but the small bridge, flowing water, and the farmhouse fences made people feel like they were setting foot in a paradise.

"This place is a good place to live in seclusion." Xiong Chengji praised.

Zhang Taiyan shook his head and said, "It is not appropriate to say that seclusion is inappropriate. This is actually the place where Qianlong is in the abyss. If it weren't for Qianlong, how could he have liked this heroic land of wind and frost? Zhao Zhenhua has a good vision, but his ambition is too strong. He is also too strong in competitiveness."

Xiong Chengji was speechless. Zhang Taiyan said it very well. This is indeed not a place to live in seclusion, but a place to plan conspiracy. The beauty of the paradise is just an illusion to deceive the world again. Moreover, now, the hundreds of military tents have indeed destroyed the peace of the paradise, and the sound of bamboos reveals more than the comfort of art. Xiong Chengji even heard a faint murderous aura from this music.

We soon approached the first military tent. The weather is still hot now, and the tent is airy on all sides. When we stand outside, we can see everything inside clearly. Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan stopped for a moment and glanced carefully. They found that most of the people sitting inside were veterans. They were wearing various military uniforms and sat in the tent with their families talking. There were tea and snacks on the table. Some veterans with armbands were responsible for serving tea here. From time to time, they could hear shouts and shouts, which were people gambling.

In any aspect, this is the most traditional Chinese birthday party. Even the music played in the phonograph and recorder is traditional Chinese music and drama. The Errenzhuan in Northeast China, Bangzi, Peking Opera, Cantonese Opera, Hui Opera, and all kinds of dramas can be heard. If you feel that listening to the opera alone is not enough, there are several high stages in the middle of those military tents, and there are various dramas on them. Standing by the stage, you can feast your eyes and even see many famous Peking Opera actors. Speaking of which, they can support the commander-in-chief, and there are also a glimpse of face. The actors present are all very hardworking and show their unique skills. There are many cheers from time to time under the stage.

If you have to use an adjective to describe the atmosphere on the scene, then the most appropriate word should obviously be "noisy", which makes Zhang Taiyan, who is used to a quiet life, not very adaptable.

"It's because of the strong local color. I wonder how those press conferences will report on the scene here?"

Zhang Taiyan looked at several foreign journalists not far away who were taking pictures, and then looked at the Chinese journalists standing further away. He suddenly understood why Zhao Bei held this birthday party so high-profile.

"This is telling the Chinese and foreigners, "The Far East madman is going to come back to the world." Zhang Taiyan said.

"I wonder if the envoys from various countries have also received invitations? They shouldn't be sitting in the tent, right?"

Xiong Chengji guessed, and looked into the distance and saw several elegant and large dome tents, which were obviously not ordinary military tents, and were particularly large in size, almost as large as the largest conference hall in Congress.

"It's probably just sitting in those big tents. This time, Zhao Zhenhua held a banquet, which was unique and unique, and probably was to make people impressed." Zhang Taiyan speculated.

The two stood here for a while, and then the host came forward to greet him. When they heard that they signed up for their own registration, they hurriedly called a car and ordered the driver to pull them up the mountainside and go to the house to worship the old birthday star first.

I just took this car up the mountain. I stopped in the parking lot and got off. After getting off, Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan looked closely and saw that there were many acquaintances standing in the parking lot, from politics, military, economic, and education respectively, and they were all outstanding in related fields, which was quite like the Xishan heroes.

Everyone came to pay their birthday wishes to the old birthday star. When they met, they couldn't help but say hello to each other. Xiong Chengji was a hero of the Republic, and Zhang Taiyan was a master of Wenwen. They were all famous figures. After saying hello, everyone couldn't help but wonder what the birthday gifts they held in their hands?

"Keep confidential for the time being, keep it confidential for the time being. At that time, you will know what is being put here." Zhang Taiyan apologized and hugged the briefcase tighter. Not only does it contain a birthday gift, but it also contains a letter written by Zhang Taiyan. This letter was not given to the old birthday star, but to Zhao Bei.

Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan were polite with Xiao Zhaobei's guard captain Qin Sihu hurriedly walked up to the two of them, glanced at Xiong Chengji, asked ok, and then said.

"Mr. Xiong, the commander-in-chief has instructed that if you come here, please go to the garden first. He has something to discuss with you."

"What about me?" Zhang Taiyan asked.

Qin Sihu shook his head and said, "The Commander-in-Chief did not specifically order you to go there together."

This is rejection. Zhang Taiyan was tactful and didn't care. He also took the briefcase in Xiong Chengji's hand, nodded, and said, "Weigen, you go over and see what he wants to say to you."

Xiong Chengji also nodded, and Shi Qin Sihu said, "Please lead the way."

Following Qin Sihu, he left the parking lot and came to the garden next to him. Two armed guards stood at the entrance of the garden. Seeing that it was Qin Sihu who arrived, he didn't ask, so he let them into the garden. Qin Sihu took Xiong Chengji to a wing room east of the garden and personally served him tea and snacks.

"Please sit here for a while. The Commander-in-Chief is meeting foreign guests in the living room. I will go and tell him that you are here and he will come and talk to you immediately."

After saying that, Qin Sihu left first. Xiong Chengji sat alone in the wing room, holding tea and looking at the layout in the wing room.

The traditional Chinese wing room is very different from the Western villa. The wing room is also lit incense, with a little quietness in the fragrance, which is a place to be quiet in the noise. If there is anything to be missing, it is the two guards standing outside the door, with neat military uniforms and box cannons hanging around their waists, which somewhat destroys the elegance here.

Xiong Chengji saw a painting hanging on the wall. Ran Shi. Erren's picture of the enemy roaring in the Tongshu Hall. The painting was white and the tiger was boiled in the ancient mountains and rivers, and it was leaping on a thousand rocks. Although it was not majestic, it occupied most of the picture and was still vividly displayed on paper.

This painting was made by Xu Shichang himself. In fact, Zhao Bei sent an adjutant to Xu Shichang to force him. Xu Shichang was good at landscape painting, but painting tigers was indeed not his strength. Xiong Chengji was a little strange at that time. For some reason, Zhao Bei had to paint Xu Shichang this tiger roar picture.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that this move has profound meaning. He seems to want to tell the Beiyang politician through this method that Xu Shichang has been subdued by him, a "madman", and use this simple method to show his strength to the Beiyang Group to stabilize the political situation.

Every time Zhao Bei does something, it always contains a clear purpose. This person is indeed a very powerful politician, and few people can fight him head-on.

"The Commander Hall has been abolished, and this painting is still left, and the meaning of which is self-evident."

Xiong Chengji was helpless and had to shake his head. He was about to stand up and walk to the painting to study the inscription carefully. However, before he could get up, a puppy suddenly ran in from outside the door, ran to Xiong Chengji, looked up, and then crawled down at Xiong Chengji's feet.

Xiong Chengji smiled. The puppy had smooth hair and was also very clean. There was no doubt that Fengding was a dog in the house. It was difficult for ordinary wild dogs to break into the house, even if they were going up the mountain, they were full of warnings on the way up the mountain.

Xiong Chengji took it and threw it to the puppy, and then he heard a pretty voice coming from outside the door.

"Who are you? Why are you sitting here? This puppy doesn't eat snacks, it likes to eat apples the most."

The person who spoke was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with short hair at the ears, wearing a long Western skirt, a pair of black leather shoes on her feet, which were polished very brightly, and she was holding a book in her hand, but the distance was too far to see what book it was.

The girl in front of her reminded Xiong Chengji of his daughter, who was also so pretty at this age, so Xiong Chengji bent down, picked up the puppy, then stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the girl with a smile.

"Xiong Chengji, my so-called Xiong Chengji, came here to visit. Who are you? Is this puppy yours?"

"Ah! You are Uncle Xiong. I remembered that I have seen you in the photo. My father said that he was your pioneer officer back then, and the photo was taken in Wuhan. This puppy is not mine, it is my sister's, and its name is Huahua. As for me, you can call me my nickname, Azhi, and my father has always called me that."

The girl's words made Xiong Chengji stunned, and then immediately understood.

"You are Zhao Zhenhua's daughter? The youngest one. Is it right? Your sister's name is Xiaoya, right?"

Although Xiong Chengji is in Nanyang, he is also concerned about domestic affairs. He also knows that Zhao Bei has two sons and two daughters, and the girl in front of him is obviously Zhao Bei's youngest daughter.

"yes."

The girl nodded and raised her head. She stared at Xiong Chengji's eyes curiously, and the black eyes were clear and bright.

Xiong Chengji smiled, handed the puppy to the girl, and said, "Azhi, this is the first time we have met. Uncle Xiong will give you a meeting gift no matter what."

After saying that, he touched his pocket, but found nothing. Then he slapped his forehead and said, "In the briefcase, I'll give it to you."

The girl said "um" and was about to speak, but she heard someone shouting in the garden.

"Miss, you are holding the dog again, and you have dirty your clothes. The master wants to say to you again! Let it go, let it go!"

Before he finished speaking, the man rushed in front of him, but it was a middle-aged maid who grabbed the puppy, patted the girl's clothes on the chest, and then looked at Xiong Chengji who was stunned.

"Where did this book come from? Why is it a foreign character?"

The maid saw the book printed in foreign language in the girl's hand, and the police asked slowly.

"This is a selection of modern French poetry and prose, I bought it myself." The girl said with her eyes wide open.

"I don't believe it. You said the same thing last time, but my wife later found out that you were reading a mess and said it to me. This time I won't be fooled by you. I will take this book first for my wife to read."

The maid said, then reached out to grab the book, but the girl hid aside in a flash.

"Auntie, you're going to sue again! People ignore you."

The girl raised her mouth and turned her head and ran away, but she ran into someone head-on at the entrance of the garden. She almost fell down. When she looked up, she found that it was her father Zhao Bei.

"dad."

"Well. Look at it when you walk, don't run around. Fortunately, I hit me. If I hit your grandpa, you wouldn't have fallen and staggered." Zhao Bei hummed, and suddenly his eyes lit up and found the French book, so he snatched the book from his daughter with lightning speed. When he looked closely, he immediately turned his nose tilted.

"Good guy! "French Modern Love Selection"? Azhi, honestly explain, where did this mess come from?"

"I bought it myself! Moreover, it's not a mess, it's serious, much more elegant than the ones you see."

The girl felt a little aggrieved and raised her mouth, looking like she was about to cry.

"I bought it myself? Isn't it okay? How old are you? What kind of love do you know? I don't read "Water Margin" or women don't read "West Chamber". If I read it randomly, I'll send you to the United States and go to boarding school. You won't be allowed to return to China within five years! I confiscated this."

"You are a feudal parent-style! I'll go to my mother for justice!"

The girl angrily said, turned around and ran away with her puppy.

Zhao Bei hummed, and as soon as he threw the book to Qin Sihu, he heard Xiong Chengji's voice.

"Zhenhua, your tutoring is very strict."
