mountain chase

After finally applying the medicine, and waiting for Fourth Master Qiao to wake up, the housekeeper already felt that he was going to be paralyzed from exhaustion - Fourth Master is really good at everything, even if he wakes up every day, the powerful wake-up energy is definitely not low Encircled and suppressed by a company of troops!

The housekeeper couldn't help but secretly miss the time when Wang Dachuan was here - I don't know that the string in this fool's mind was broken, and he ran back and forth to wake up fourth master, even if he was very angry when he was woken up Fourth Master Qiao was full of repairs, and he was also very happy.

"Housekeeper, butler, fourth master is calling you." A little girl standing beside her in a daze poked him twice with her finger.

Turning around, he saw Fourth Master Qiao's face full of impatience.

"Hey, here we come!" With a shiver, the butler immediately walked over, and the white fox fur cloak handed over by the maid was wrapped around the fourth master.

"Let's go."

"Yes." Bending down, the butler rolled his eyes inwardly - it can be said that the fourth master is going to "quarrel" today, so it's only natural that he's in a bad mood.

Sitting in the car, although Fourth Master Qiao still didn't say anything as usual, and his face was as serious as usual, the housekeeper understood that Fourth Master Qiao was blocked in his heart.

Nowadays, the world is becoming more and more uneasy, the battle ahead is tense, and the military storage and distribution resources in the rear, from original parts to finished products, are hard to come by.Not to mention Fourth Master Qiao, it is the whole of China. The arms business at this time is not easy to do.

Although the Qiao family has been secretly engaged in the arms business since more than ten years ago, they have to be more careful now.For the past few months, Fourth Master Qiao has been worrying about military accessories. A few days ago, Jiang Dingwen made such a call again, which made Fourth Master Qiao even more angry.

Right now, I must be going to trouble the old man at the top...

The housekeeper swallowed, the people outside looked at Fourth Master Qiao, and said they really wanted Fourth Master to be gentle, elegant, beautiful and weak, but the real Fourth Master, only these veterans who had been with Fourth Master for many years could figure out the real Fourth Master.

Fourth master - that is definitely a cruel, narrow-minded and grudge-loving person.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper immediately stopped his thoughts. It was already very wrong to think about his master in his heart, and now he secretly speaks ill of his master...

Look at Fourth Master Qiao who glanced behind the car seat, the butler is still doing his job honestly, watching his nose and his heart.

When the car drove to the gate of the large courtyard outside Chairman Jiang's white bungalow, he could no longer enter.Fourth Master Qiao got out of the car and entered the yard when he saw two jeeps coming from inside, and a man dressed in military uniform got out, "Mr. Come pick you up."

Looking down at the jeep, he waited for the housekeeper to go up and check it before Fourth Master Qiao got into it.

Generalissimo Chiang is at the moment in the glass balcony behind his house.Although it is a balcony, the roof is surrounded by glass on all sides, so you can see the scenery outside, but there is also a stove next to it, so it is not cold at all.

"You are comfortable here." Walking into the balcony, Fourth Master Qiao looked around the glass house. At this time, there was only a little sporadic snow still floating outside. Being in the house, it was like being in the snow and watching the snow. , but very warm, don't have a taste.

"Are you here?" The man sitting in the soft chair looked up. He looked about 40 years old, with a bald head and a full face.At this time, he was leaning sideways to pick up the teacup on the table. Although he was smiling, he gave off a self-evident sense of majesty.This is the aura of a person who has been in a high position for a long time and has the power to control life and death.

"Yes." But Fourth Master Qiao didn't look at him.

There was a stove burning in the room, and the temperature was very high.After the butler helped him take off his shawl and coat, he went down.

Fourth Master Qiao walked over and sat down on his own without waiting for the Chairman to speak.

He was wearing a light gray fine wool loose sweater under his coat today, and black suit pants underneath. A pocket was woven on the chest of the sweater, and a blue crystal brooch in the shape of a celestial master's wings was pinned to it.

The whole person looks very delicate, elegant, noble and eye-catching.

Looking carefully at Fourth Master Qiao from top to bottom, Generalissimo Jiang put down his teacup, "You fell down because you have been in the United States for a long time. Take a look—what kind of clothes are you wearing here?"

Fourth Master Qiao raised his eyebrows, and looked at the ironed Chinese tunic suit on the opposite side, "Why, isn't it good-looking?"

"You look good." Generalissimo Jiang smiled, "You are good-looking no matter what. I remember seeing a photo of you when you were young at Hengzhou's house. It was really a so-and-so...like a doll made by Westerners, like a New Year's picture. They all look good."

Speaking of Mr. Qiao, Fourth Master Qiao also had soft eyebrows and a calm expression, "Yes, my father used to love taking pictures of me the most."

"It's a great hobby."

Fourth Master Qiao looked at the chairman, blinking his eyes casually, "At that time, the chairman and my father were also very good friends."

"Little Sier," Generalissimo Jiang sighed, "I know that Heng Zhou's death has hit you hard, but since the deceased has already passed away, you should be sad, otherwise, even if Heng Zhou in the sky sees you, you can't rest assured. .”

"Indeed, what the chairman said is true. My father has seen the actions of the Qiao family in heaven, but the chairman can't rest assured." Only then did Fourth Master Qiao notice that the teacup on the table was made by an official during the Kangxi period. A blue and white porcelain glazed cup produced in a kiln.

"Little four, what did you say?" Withdrawing his smile, the beautiful child opposite the chairman asked, "Could it be that the place where you live in Nanjing is too small? Are you unhappy? Or has someone wronged you?"

"No, everything is fine," Fourth Master Qiao raised his head and smiled rarely, "It's just that this is not Beiping after all, so it's inevitable that you will feel a little depressed sometimes."

"It's normal for you to feel a little uncomfortable. Your child has been raised by Heng Zhou in his palm since he was a child. Although he has been in the United States for so many years, he still has a delicate temper." Hearing Fourth Master Qiao say this, the committee member Chang also laughed, "If there is anything that doesn't go your way, just come to me. How can I say that Heng Zhou and I are considered friends by obeisance, you should call me uncle."

"Uncle." With a low voice, Fourth Master Qiao turned his head away: "It seems that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, I'd better leave first."

"Really?" Chairman Jiang nodded while turning his head to look out the window, "That's fine. You are already weak, but now that you live in Nanjing, you have to take care of yourself and don't let uncle worry."

"Okay." Standing up, Fourth Master Qiao nodded, "Then I'll go first."

"Well," Chairman Jiang also stood up, and took Fourth Master Qiao to the door of the room. After they put on their coats and cloaks, they asked their servants to drive Fourth Master to the gate of the courtyard.

On the way back, Fourth Master Qiao still had the same indifferent face as when he went there, with no expression on his face.The butler has been staying in the living room of the chairman's house today. There are several corridors away from the balcony where Fourth Master Qiao is located. He just listened to records all morning!

"Bring me my lunch to the study." After entering the door, Fourth Master Qiao directly said a word to the butler, and went upstairs.

"This..." Looking around, Sun Jiabi was still wearing the apron she used to cook.

"Hi Ma'am," saluted Sun Jiabi respectfully, the housekeeper stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "The fourth master just came back from business work today, Madam, please don't bother him, your kindness, little one will deliver."

"That's good..." Lowering her eyes, Sun Jiabi couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart.

"Madam, go slowly." Watching the woman take off her apron and walk away, the butler went to the kitchen to bring fourth master food.

dong dong...

"Come in."

Pushing open the door, Fourth Master Qiao was standing by the window looking at the snow scene outside.

"Fourth Master, it's better not to stand by the window." Putting the food on the table, the housekeeper said.

"Afraid that someone will kill me?" Fourth Master Qiao turned around, "We haven't reached that point yet, and in a few days, we really won't be able to stand here."

He spoke cryptically, and the housekeeper just listened.

"By the way, from today onwards, it will be said that I am ill and that I will not see any guests."

"Yes." After wiping the chopsticks with a white towel, the housekeeper handed it to Fourth Master Qiao, "Take... the chairman's place and you don't see anyone?"

After a pause, Fourth Master Qiao said calmly, "Being sick, of course everyone can't see it."

"Little one understands."

After dinner, Fourth Master Qiao sent the butler out - he wanted to be quiet and think about it by himself.

Today in Jiang's mansion, the old man didn't say anything important except to say something about the parents.Since he didn't say anything, Fourth Master Qiao naturally wouldn't say anything either.

——The longer you hoard something like arms, the greater the risk.But no matter how big the risk is, it must be taken now.Fourth Master Qiao understood that although what Jiang Dingwen said a few days ago meant that the amount was relatively small, if they were sold cheaply, they would not lose money or make money, so it had no real meaning to the Qiao family.

But this precedent must never be set.

With this time, in the future, not only from the chairman, but also all the ammunition flowing out of Qiao's house, the price will definitely be reduced.

Fourth Master Qiao lowered his eyes.

Even if he died, he would still cling to the absolute control of the Qiao family on the ammunition territory.

The army, the underground party of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, bandits, underground gangs...

The arms that flowed from Qiao's house had penetrated deeply into the deepest part of the land in the north.In their bones, the name of the Qiao family must be engraved on them.

Fourth Master Qiao can fully imagine that once the Qiao family stops the supply of arms and cuts off the flow.The land of the north - what will become of it.

How much would his life be threatened.

However, none of this matters - it's fair that people make money and birds die for food.
