Chapter 172 Head South
Eastern Xiang Divine Jun, Western Zhu Spiritual Instrument, winding northward, Nanxiang Onyx. These four sentences describe the four mountains surrounding Spring City: "Eastern Xiang Divine Jun" is the Golden Horse Mountain to the east; "West Zhu Spiritual Instrument" is the west side of Luo Han Mountain; "North Winding" for the north of the Chang Chong Mountain; "Nanxiang onyx" is the Liangwang Mountain in the south; These four mountains surrounded Spring City as the "Mountain Ring" of Feng Shui, while the "Five Hundred Miles Dianchi Rushing to the Eye" was called "Shui Huo". It was precisely the so-called pattern where mountains and rivers held each other in their arms.
The entire Spring City was filled with wind and clouds. The weather was colorful, high in the south and low in the north. It was full of vitality, especially when seen from the plane.
The old man once said that after twenty years of cultivation and learning, eighty years of painting and seventy years of imprisonment, he had traveled all over the mountains and rivers in his life, and only the mountains and rivers of Spring City were the most nourishing. Since ancient times, there had been no phoenix out of the phoenix, but only one Yang Yiqing had appeared in the past few thousand years.
Although this place was not fertile, it had raised thousands of birds and beasts with plentiful vegetation. Since ancient times, it had been the most active place for Gu Sect insect masters.
There are not many people in the first class, and it is a common phenomenon for domestic flights. Opposite him sat a young man and woman. The man had a thin figure, wore black-rimmed glasses, and was elegant and deep. He held a Zizhi Tongjian and read it all the way. He had maturity that did not correspond to his age. The woman was slender and fair, and her appearance was elegant. She raised her hand and turned around, smiling and smiling elegantly.
Along the way, Gu Tianyou heard the female and male call him brother. It seemed like they were brother and sister. Seeing the plane arrive at the ground, the woman suddenly became nervous and pleaded softly to the man, "Big brother, why don't I go back by myself? If Dad knew that I had changed my dancing major in foreign countries for the past three years, I would have to peel off my skin if I didn't die this time."
"Is there anything else in this world that you, Xie Xiaobai, are afraid of? What did I tell you earlier? I just didn't listen to me."
The girl named Xie Xiaobai clingily hugged the elegant man's arm and pleaded, "Please, brother, just open your eyes and let me go. If something really happened and the old revolution stir-fry the bamboo shoots, your sister's dance competition would be completely ruined. Aren't you known as Swordsmanship, Heart, Confucianism, and Swordsman Fei Bai?" "Why can't I help my own sister when others can?"
Looks like the brother and sister are called Xie Feibai and the sister is called Xie Xiaobai. It seemed that this girl was studying outside and had secretly changed her major. Now, she was worried that she would be blamed by the elders and wanted to run away, so she pleaded with her brother for help.
Xie Feibai noticed that someone was eavesdropping and looked at Gu Tian You vigilantly. "Let's not talk about it for now. After getting off the plane, find a place to eat and help you slowly think of a way."
Xie Xiaobai followed his brother's gaze and looked at Gu Tianyou. Suddenly, he asked, "Hey, did you bring a little monkey with you when you boarded the plane?"
Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "Yes."
Xie Xiaobai asked curiously, "Are you a monkey researcher?"
Gu Tianyou spouted nonsense, "I'm a monkey fool. I live in the world. My monkey is not an ordinary monkey. He can dance and fortune-telling."
Xie Xiaobai smiled and said, "You're lying. You're playing monkey. You're sitting in the first class."
Gu Tianyou said, "I'm sitting for my monkey. Unfortunately, the airline is discriminating against me. I don't know how powerful my monkey is. I only allow it to enter the warehouse."
Xie Xiaobai said, "If you really know how to do it, then you can do it for me."
Gu Tianyou said, "You don't need my monkey. Even I can give you a divination."
Xie Xiaobai said, "Forget it, do you need to read your palm?" As he spoke, he stretched out his plain white little hand.
Gu Tianyou chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of gangster who borrows fortune telling to eat girls' tofu?" As he spoke, he grabbed Xie Xiaobai's small hand and looked at it for a while. "You're going to have a calamity recently," he said.
Xie Xiaobai was not in a hurry to pull back his hand. He pursed his lips and smiled, "Even those who are not deaf know that I have a bamboo shoot fried meat to eat. If this is a calamity, then even if you are right, do you think there is a way to resolve it?"
Gu Tianyou originally wanted to say more, but when he raised his head and saw Xie Feibai 's face turning green, he thought to himself, "This brother has a bad temper, but his cultivation is exceptionally good." It was good to tease the little girl without hurting Daya, but there was still a limit. So he pulled back his hand and smiled, "Here's a word for you. Cry!"
Xie Feibai was worried about his younger sister when he heard this and was immediately overjoyed. He took the conversation and understood, "Good idea!" She turned to her younger sister and said, "You can cry when you come in. There's no need to say anything. First, let the old man's heart soften. Then, let's talk about how much you miss him. In short, let's talk about crying while talking. Finally, let's talk about our ideals. Don't forget to bring Mom along when you say it. Just say that it's to fulfill Mom's last wish. Mom always loved you the most. You're not lying."
After the plane landed, it met two siblings in the airport lobby. Xie Feibai took the initiative to greet Gu Tianyou and said goodbye. The two siblings got on a Passat with the provincial party organ sign and left.
Gu Tianyou walked out of the airport hall with the evidence cage for small animals he borrowed from the main team. He saw Taihu and Monkey leaning against a jeep and waiting for a long time.
… … … …
At the headquarters of the Nine Minerals Group and the chairman's office, the two sides were seated separately.
Li Jianjian was in his fifties, bald, short, and fat, wearing glasses. This old man was even more wretched than a vulgar uncle, but he was a genuine deputy provincial leader. There are a lot of slang jokes about the man in the bureaucracy. One of them was about Qin Mulan's daughter, the two best conditions for a woman to be an official: First, the man who slept with her was formidable; Second, the man who slept with her mother was amazing. Second Brother Li was quite awesome, taking both of them.
Circles were often mysterious and unfathomable in the eyes of outsiders. They were all high and mighty, but in reality, this was not the case. The people in the circle had been together for a long time, and they understood each other too well. They were acting purely as if they were grandchildren, so they naturally put away their official articles.
Gu Tianyou was recommended by Zou Haibo, and his fourth brother was also there to build bridges. Therefore, he paid great attention to the construction of his strength and gave this young fellow the highest level of reception. Not everyone in the chairman's office could drink health tea, especially Deputy Director Li of the Secretariat, who was personally accompanying him. It was a courtesy that only people in the circle could enjoy.
In terms of beauty, Qin Mulan's daughter was slightly less feminine than her mother, but she was still younger. She had an awl-shaped face, a snake waist, and a bump in her chest. She had four plus marks for not opening her mouth. One mouth could directly sweeten a person to death. She was indeed famous for her coquettish appearance. Her kung fu was truly not something ordinary women could compare to.
Li Jianshe proudly introduced Gu Tianyou to his unique health tea.
The tea was Dahongpao, picked from the few remaining trees on the cliff of the Nine Dragons Nest in Wuyi Mountain. Full calculations, the best year, the output is only a few hundred grams. Such a small amount of stuff was naturally worth a hundred times as much. In the Republic of China, a jin was worth 64 silver coins, or 4,000 jin of rice. A few years ago, the Nine Dragons Nest Great Red Robe Tea was put up for auction in the market. Twenty grams sold for a sky-high price of 150,000 yuan, setting a record for the highest unit price of tea. Such precious tea leaves, how could ordinary people see them, let alone taste them.
Li Jianshu was a person who paid attention to the quality of life. In this pot of health tea, not only was there a sky-high price red robe, there were also two slices of old mountain ginseng. This thing was very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. It could regulate their body functions and replenish their qi and blood. A full two wild old mountain ginseng is expensive and even more expensive than that day's Dahongpao. However, in this pot of tea, he was most pleased with the two inconspicuous red dates. According to Deputy Director Qin, the origins of these two red dates were very different. It was made from virgins who had just arrived from the Heavenly Sunflower and were nurtured in private for a few days. With the mysterious body fragrance of a young girl and the essence of profound yin, the taste was naturally extraordinary.
Gu Tianyou, as a distinguished guest recommended by the two founders of the West Sea Association, was able to enjoy this treatment. Thinking about how the two dates in the bowl had been nurtured from the place where they peed, even Gu Tianyou, the Immortal Pill, had no appetite to drink this pot of tea. Li Jianshi was very interested in it, so it was not easy to trade for it. This guy didn't want to drink it anytime soon.
The banquet was hosted at a mountain sanatorium on the banks of Dianchi Lake. Gu Tianyou came with a ghost in his heart, accompanied by Zou Haibin, who arrived a little later.
Everything was a matter of the seaside, and with him, it seemed that Zou Haibo had a good reason to intervene. In any case, the basis for the cooperation between the two sides had long been laid out there. With the relationship between Zou Haibo and the other siblings, the so-called fourth brother's face, and some unique conditions, they were able to work together to bring about today's cooperation.
The task that Gu Tianyou had given him was to come and listen.
The significance behind going to Burma for mining is very great. In Big Sister Zou Haibo's words, it is a land of four battles. All sides compete for it right in front of our eyes. If it falls into the hands of the Western world, the road to the south will be completely blocked. On the contrary, if he could make a difference in this land, then the so-called first island chain blockade would be broken! So the political significance is even greater than the economic significance. Moreover, some rare earth ores produced in Myanmar have very important application value in military field. So we have to get a piece of the pie.
On this land, the British colonists have operated for many years. The junta, the NLD, the minority warlords, the guerrillas of the Republican Army, and the drug lords, you can sing me off and come on stage. All of them are not fuel-efficient lamps. The infiltration has not stopped over the years, but it has yielded little. The NLD, which is close to the West, is backed by NGOs on the surface, but secretly by the CIA. The ruling junta demonized the dynasty while introducing Chinese capital. The republican army's guerrillas were divided and organized in chaos, and several minority warlords were mostly pro-western christians. After the defeat of the mountain army, the Guo brothers were the only ones who were truly successful among the drug lords.
The Military Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have all been trying to occupy a place in this land in secret and in public these past few years.
Originally, South Mining Group, which had a stake in Yongsheng Sunshine Investment Group four years ago, had successfully obtained a well-stocked ore vein in the Mandalay region, Moreover, he had a relationship with a high-ranking official of the military government, but because of the fermentation of the copper mine incident, a crisis of exclusion from China had arisen. Not only had that high-ranking official, who was pro-China, stepped down, but he had also risked the lives of dozens of Chinese employees of the Southern Mining Group.
Behind that incident was the truth of the multi-faceted competition. Ever since then, it would be difficult for the domestic forces to infiltrate the country as easily as ascending to the heavens.
The West Sea Society, which had a background in the Foreign Intelligence Agency, had not enjoyed a good life in China recently. In order to protect itself, it had already reached the point where it planned to kick one of its founders, Brother Li Sihua, off the ship. Zou Haibo and Xu Muye's efforts to promote this cooperation were mostly due to political needs, and it was precisely because of this that Gu Tianyou's status as Guos Army's Chief of Staff became particularly important.
Li Jian Jian didn't look like a shrewd person who could kill Sun Mingshen's undercover agents twice. Gu Tianyou guessed that he must have some powerful people by his side. This man holds all the key secrets.
The two brothers walked into the banquet hall accompanied by Li Jianshe and several vice-presidents of the group. A heart-warming fragrance of orchids entered Gu Tianyou's nose. He glanced around and saw a dozen pots of precious orchids placed in this dazzling and even vulgar banquet hall. A middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses and wearing conservative and cautious manners stood among the flowers and waited respectfully.
Li Jianshe introduced that this woman was the person in charge of the sanatorium. This woman's figure was not bad, but her appearance made people dare not compliment her. She had a flat nose and small eyes, making it difficult for her to enter her eyes.
