Chapter 227 - Long Snow Street
He had thought that he would be able to topple the Song Family in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that the old man of the Song Family would be so desperate to summon his troops. This trial, which was full of anticipation, ended without any delay.
Xiao Yi, Secretary Niu and a few others walked out of the court.
It was snowing heavily, so he couldn't see where he had come from.
"Xiao Yi." The Secretary Niu still had a bit of anger on his face, he called Xiao Yi and said: "Don't worry, I will immediately report this matter to you. When a government interferes with a government, this old man had really made a move. However, it's on our side, so we don't need to be afraid of him. "
Xiao Yi nodded his head, and then said doubtfully: "This old fart from the Song Family recklessly transferred over troops, in order to push this matter further. I'm afraid that this old fart might have some tricks up his sleeve. Logically speaking, as the commander of an army, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing. "
"A backup?" Secretary Niu hesitated for a while, looked towards Xiao Yi and slowly said: "You are right, a change will occur if you delay. Xiao Yi, if you urge Secretary Zhang, can pressure you in the capital. "Then, I think it must be much faster to resolve this matter." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
"It's been cold lately." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "The sky is cold and the earth is frozen. Old Secretary is already old. I don't think we need to bother you with this matter for the time being. This matter has already been decided. I would like to see what kind of backup that old man has. If I really can't solve it, I believe that Big Bro will help me solve it. Secretary Niu, do not hesitate to follow the rules. This Song Family is just like this heavy snow. Sooner or later, it will be completely melted by this river. "
At the same time, the old man from the Song Family, Song Xu and Huang Ming also walked out of the courthouse.
The transferred troops had already left. The two of them walked on the street like two old men in their last years. Huang Ming held onto a big black umbrella, covering Old Man Song Xu inside. However, that umbrella was too small after all. The snowflakes were blown in by the wind. This caused Huang Ming and the old man Song Xu to be unable to resist coughing twice, and their bodies became even more hunched.
"Lordmaster, what should we do next?" Huang Ming who was holding onto an umbrella was extremely worried, and asked softly.
In the court, the Song family was very domineering, making the judge stop his sentence. This trial, which everyone was looking forward to, came to an end abruptly. However, at this time, the old Gramps Song Xu and Huang Ming, the victors, did not have the slightest hint of happiness on their faces.
"The snow is falling harder and harder." Old Man Song Xu did not answer Huang Ming's question. Instead, he extended his hand out of the umbrella and caught a handful of snowflakes, as he muttered.
When Huang Ming saw the abnormal action of the old man, Song Xu, his heart grew even heavier. He hurriedly said, "Old Master, it's cold outside. Be careful, it's freezing up."
"Yeah, it's freezing. My old bones aren't doing well anymore." Old man Song Xu heaved a long sigh as he looked at the melting snowflakes on his palm.
"The old man is an experienced man, how could he not?" Huang Ming forced out a smile.
"I was enlisted in the army on such a snowy winter day. At that time, it was a time of great excitement. "He has become the leader of an army with a heart full of pride." The old man, Song Xu, sighed and slowly said, "It's just that the young generation of the martial arts world that I've fought so hard for is not going to live up to my expectations. In the end, it's just, it all happened in vain. "
"Isn't it over now?" Huang Ming rotated the big black umbrella for a while, causing the snow to flutter about.
"Haha." The old man laughed desolately and mocked himself on the street, "You've followed me for so many years, and you know that I've only taken it as a relief. It's a relief, but it's all I've got. "What should we do next? Let me tell you, let me die with the Song Clan in this winter."
The voice was empty, and there was a hint of bitterness in the emptiness.
"Why?" Huang Ming immediately said urgently, "This matter regarding the river and sea is, after all, not related to you. If we can't, we'll just leave. "When we returned to the capital, you were still the military's commander."
"Doesn't matter?" The old man, Song Xu, looked at Huang Ming, who was beside him. I walked out of the river. This is my root. Would I be willing to see my children imprisoned in this prison of rivers and seas? You've been with me for so many years, and you know that I have a tough temper and don't like to be bullied. I came to Jianghai and fought with that young Xiao Yi for a long time, but I still lost. This time, I have to win. Even if it means giving me everything I have. "
This time, the hand Huang Ming used to hold the big black umbrella slightly trembled. He finally understood why the old tutor had sent troops over without hesitation to cause such a ruckus in this court. It turned out that the old tutor had been unable to swallow his anger and had made a comeback before his death.
"I guess I won't be able to walk side by side with you on this street next winter." The old man Song Xu seemed to sigh and then continued, "This time, you have to watch the heavy snow with me. Is it as much snow as it was the night I rescued you in the trenches? "
That year, Old Master Song Xu had saved Huang Ming from the barrage of bullets in the trench. That night, it was snowing heavily in the trenches. Just like today, the snowflakes swirled and blotted out the sky and the earth.
Thinking back to all that had happened in the past, sparkling and translucent tears flowed out of Huang Ming's eyes: "Old Gramps, it's me who's useless, I'm the one who's useless."
"You're useless." The old man, Song Xu, smiled and said, "My descendants are useless, but I am too useless. Also, the Poison Sect was too useless. Anyway, we're old. This world was no longer the world of the past. This snow, is no longer the snow of the past. "
His voice contained traces of desolation. It made the tears in Huang Ming's eyes sob down.
All these years, he had been by Old Master Song Xu's side. He had never seen an army leader admit defeat at any time. However, this time, Huang Ming looked at the old man beside him and sighed with all his heart, as if he was truly old.
"Lordmaster, your opponent is too strong." Huang Ming stayed silent for a while, and then said bitterly.
"Well said, the opponent is too strong."
When Song Xu heard Huang Ming's words, he ruthlessly laughed and loudly agreed. Then, he raised his head and walked down the street. Huang Ming held onto his big black umbrella and followed beside the old man, Song Xu. Just that, Huang Ming's body was hunched even more. His hands, which were holding the black umbrella, started to tremble from time to time.
The two of them walked down the long street, rustling in the snow.
After a snowstorm, the footprints of the two were quickly buried. The two sound shadows disappeared into the wind and snow.
Xiao Yi and the rest walked towards the Night River Sea. Even though the trial had ended, it had taken a lot of effort. Xiao Yi had no choice but to be the host and treat all of these politicians to a meal.
Qin Yan walked at the back. She was wearing a police uniform and looked valiant and capable. Occasionally, she would raise her head and look at Xiao Yi's figure who was walking in front.
So thin, so thin.
Qin Yan's nose twitched as she thought back to the court. When Xiao Yi saw how strong Song Xu's three consecutive attacks were, his face was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Finally, Qin Yan took out her cell phone and her fingers began to tremble as she touched it. Qin Yan mustered all her courage and dialed that familiar number.
"Dad, it's Yan'er." These five simple words seemed to have drained all the energy within Qin Yan's body.
On the other end of the phone was a man who was as powerful as a mountain. He was dressed in a military uniform. The hands holding the phone trembled slightly, and said emotionally: "What's wrong, Yan Er? "If you're finally willing to come back, that would be great." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Every word of the man's voice trembled slightly.
"Dad, I want to ask you for a favor." Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, took in a deep breath of the cold winter air and said softly.
"What is it? Just say it. "Tell me if someone is bullying you outside." The voice of the man on the other end of the phone instantly tensed up.
"It's like this. I have a friend who is fighting a lawsuit against someone else. Originally, it was all here. However, in the end, the other family members were all high-ranking officials of the Beijing army. They had transferred troops over and ended the trial. "I think, can you help this friend of mine?" After a moment of silence, Qin Yan briefly recounted the whole incident.
"A high-ranking military officer?" The man opposite him hesitated for a moment before asking, "Who is it? How tall?"
"Song Xu." Qin Yan hesitated for a moment before replying, "The commander of a certain artillery regiment in the capital."
After she finished explaining Song Xu's background, Qin Yan started to get a little nervous. After all, Song Xu was the commander of the army. She was somewhat afraid of her father. His ability was insufficient to resolve this matter.
"Song Xu, I've heard of him. It's just a small army commander, what's there to be afraid of? " The man opposite him said boldly, "I can withdraw his military authority at any time. This is not a problem for father. But, all these years, you've never taken the initiative to ask Father for anything. This time, for a friend, she actually went to find her father. "I'm a bit curious though. What kind of friend is he?"
Hu Qinyan had already expected that her father would ask this question. He unwillingly looked at Xiao Yi who was walking at the very front, and spoke into his phone in a low voice: "Since Daddy helped me settle this, then I will come back and stay for a few days. "When the time comes, tell this matter to dad in detail."
"Mm, it's good that you're back." The man opposite him said in a gratified tone, "Your mother has missed you so much these past few years. No matter what, you want to mess around. Back then when I didn't let you go to that river and you threatened me with death, your mother still complains about me to this day. "
The snow started to fall harder and harder.
Passing through this long street, Qin Yan's blurry eyes could be seen.
