District 9

Jin Taizhu had no interest in meeting Jiang Xue, and he seemed to be sensitive to military intelligence personnel, so he directly told Qin Yu that he would not attend the party in the evening and would only stay in the hotel, and the latter did not force him.

At about 5:30 in the evening, Jiang Xue went downstairs to the hotel. After Qin Yu answered his call, he took Xiao Qi, Cha Meng, and three guards downstairs.

After walking out of the hotel lobby, Qin Yu called Gu Shen: "Hello, where have you been?"

"I went to pick up some friends and will be here soon. Just wait a moment."

"That's right. I have a friend from District 8 who heard that I was coming and insisted on treating him to a meal. I can't refuse." Qin Yu replied truthfully: "How about we go together later?"

"What kind of friend?" Gu Shen asked.

"The people from the Eighth District's military affairs." Qin Yu said with a smile: "They were the ones who were sent to work in the Fifth District before. Later, when I picked up the second child, I took advantage of them."

"Ah, that's it." Gu Shen was startled and said, "Xiao Yu, if you are a military intelligence officer, then I won't show up."

Qin Yu was a little confused: "Isn't it convenient?"

"It's a sensitive period recently, and the higher-ups are having meetings again. It's not good for me to contact people with military intelligence in private." Gu Shen didn't hide anything: "I've heard about the last time I sent people to the fifth district. Those people were not You understand this side of the First War Zone, right?"

Qin Yu never expected that eating with a familiar face in Yanbei would be so particular: "Then what if I go...?"

"You're fine." Gu Shen said with a smile, "You are in Sichuan Mansion, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Then you really won't come?"

"Well, if you have plans for the evening, I won't go. We'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look." Qin Yu replied softly: "I have already promised, it would be bad if I don't go."

"Well, go to hell."

"good."

At this point, the two ended the call. Qin Yu put his cell phone in his pocket, shook his head and sighed: "This political center is so complicated, even eating is so damn important."

"What's wrong, Gu Shen isn't coming?" Cha Meng asked.

"Well, he said it was not good for him to get in touch with Chiang Kai-shek." Qin Yu responded and quickened his pace: "Okay, let's go."

…

A few minutes later, in the parking lot at the hotel's main entrance.

Jiang Xue stretched out his palm and said to Qin Yu: "Long time no see, my great benefactor."

"Haha, don't call her Ang like that, or you won't be able to eat." Qin Yu smiled and shook hands with the other party.

The last time Jiang Xue met Qin Yu was when Ma Laoer had just returned from District Five. More than a year has passed, and he has changed a lot. He looks a lot stronger. He has a short shaved head, black-rimmed glasses, and a woolen coat. He looks like a computer engineer. .

"You look different." Xiao Qi also shook hands with Jiang Xue.

"No, I'm usually like this." Jiang Xue said with a smile: "But when I met you, I was detained in No. 57 for how long. That place was not for human beings at all. When I first came out, I was no longer human. .”

"Haha." Qin Yu smiled.

"Okay, let's not talk here anymore, get in the car." Jiang Xue pointed to a business car next to him: "I will take you to a club, it is quite private."

"Okay, I'm at your place. I'll follow your arrangements." Qin Yu bent down and got into the car.

…

Jiang Xue did not bring any friends to see Qin Yu. He was chatting with everyone along the way.

The car drove on the road for about an hour and arrived at a manor on the edge of Yanbei City. After everyone got off the car, they followed Jiang Xue and found that the manor was quite luxurious. Outside there were rockeries and snow-capped mountains, but inside the large villa there were small bridges and flowing water, which had an ancient charm.

This club is indeed very private. The service staff are all dedicated to reception. There is almost no one in the VIP channel, and the elevator is also dedicated.

Everyone came to the third floor and entered a huge private room. The female manager who was the foreman walked in immediately and said to Jiang Xue in a very polite manner: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I just opened a small restaurant." meeting."

"It's okay, just look at the arrangements." Jiang Xue took off his coat and said calmly.

"Okay, I'll ask the service staff to serve tea first." The female manager nodded.

The entire private room was about 150 square meters, and the decoration was extremely luxurious. Qin Yu even saw furniture with golden nanmu. This thing, in this era... is too rare.

After the head female manager chatted with Jiang Xue for a while, she quickly left to arrange the meal.

Qin Yu looked around and joked with a smile: "You have to be a Beijing official. We who come from the village can't even think about this place where we usually come and go."

"Haha, that's the only convenience of doing military affairs. No matter where you go, others will give you face." Jiang Xue waved his hand and replied: "But I can't compare with you, the frontier officials."

"Hey, you are a big official in the border area. You know your own suffering." Qin Yu sat casually on the sofa.

Jiang Xue came and sat down next to him, and asked in a casual chat, "Is Qin Lu coming to Yanbei this time on official business?"

"Well, come here to talk about something." Qin Yu nodded.

"Haha." Jiang Xue smiled and asked in a low voice: "The General Administration of Military Affairs has been in meetings these days, and Commander Gu has also appeared frequently. The handover of the top military officer is probably finalized. Qin Brigade, are you right? Are you here for this?"

Qin Yu was startled when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand and replied: "No, how could I be involved in such a thing at my level?"

"Don't be so modest. Who doesn't know your relationship with Gu Yan?" Jiang Xue asked with some familiarity: "Hey, Qin Lu, if you come to Yanbei at this time, will the Eighth District follow up in Sichuan?" What big move has the government made? Do you have any inside information? Reveal it."

When Qin Yu heard this, he felt that Jiang Xue was a bit rash. Because the two parties are not particularly familiar with each other, he is a military intelligence officer, and asking this kind of question... is a bit excessive.

"That's really not why I came here." Qin Yu picked up the tea cup and replied with a chuckle: "I have a company in District 8, so I came here to handle some personal matters."

"Ah, that's right." Jiang Xue nodded and asked, "Then Gu Yan didn't come back? At this meeting of the Military General Administration, it was obvious that our old commander wanted to gradually delegate the power of the region to Commander Gu. He should Show up and accompany him. Haha, let’s cultivate the prince’s aura in advance.”

When Qin Yu heard this, he felt somewhat dissatisfied and asked with a smile: "Haha, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Jiang Xue was startled and immediately laughed: "Haha, I don't ask any questions, just chatting casually! Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink tea, drink tea."

Cha Meng sat aside and looked at Jiang Xue with a frown, inexplicably feeling that this man was a bit of a thief.

…

The backyard of the General Administration Building of the Military Department is a villa area specially used to receive the chief commander.

Gu Tai'an sat on the sofa and drank tea, saying nothing.

"Commander, Lin Yaozong spoke a lot at the meeting today, especially on the military expansion and reorganization in the World War II zone. He said a lot," the senior colonel staff officer next to him said while standing.

Gu Tai'an pondered for a long time and replied calmly: "He wants to bring back the Lin family's troops in District 9."

When Gu Taixian heard this, he immediately interrupted: "It's a bit sensitive to bring the troops back at this time, isn't it?"

Gu Tai'an put down his tea cup and suddenly asked in a joking tone: "Hey, by the way, have our Iron Alliance brothers, Commander-in-Chief Gu of the Northwest, already settled in Yanbei?"
