Restarting life in Siheyuan
Chapter 677 Belated Revenge
"Now that the internal and external troubles have subsided, it's time to put some things on the agenda."
Looking at the man who just found time to go to Hong Kong, Lin Na asked in a low voice.
"What? These guys can't wait?"
Zhu Xuefeng put down the blueprint, turned around and asked with a smile. Lin Na nodded.
"Many people have tried to sound me out. I think it is true that given the current situation, it would be unreasonable not to put it on the agenda. Our external diplomacy has also achieved good results. If we hesitate now, it would be irresponsible to the country that promised to support us."
Zhu Xuefeng stood up, picked up the boiling hot coffee and took a sip.
"You're right. Let me go back and start the process here as planned."
A huge project is rapidly unfolding. Under strict planning, the expansion and renovation of Mandele has been accelerated again. The time is tight and the task is heavy, but all the construction workers are full of fighting spirit and everywhere is in full swing.
Soon, the good news spread rapidly from Mandele, and countless people were excited. After eight years, they finally waited for this day.
However, the protagonist they were praising had already returned to the old city in a low-key manner. After reporting on his recent work, he returned to the compound.
...
"Uncle Yang, you really waited until the clouds cleared and the moon appeared."
"Good boy, come on, let's go to the office and talk." Old Yang took Zhu Xuefeng's hand affectionately and smiled happily from the bottom of his heart.
Lao Yang is very happy. Although he is very busy these days, he is in a good mood. The only regret is that his good partner Lao Xia is gone. It is a pity.
"Tell uncle, how did you get to the top directly?" Old Yang went straight to the point without any further ado.
Zhu Xuefeng just smiled and shook his head. Seeing this, although Lao Yang felt itchy inside, he still kept silent and changed the subject, and the two of them started chatting.
Half a day later, Zhu Xuefeng left amid Lao Yang's sigh. Looking at the direction Zhu Xuefeng left, Lao Yang curled his lips. This kid must have gone to find Lao Zhang, the logistics guy.
"Secretary, is it possible for Comrade Xiao Zhu to return to our factory?" Behind Lao Yang was Xiao Ma, the new director of the factory office who had just returned.
"It's difficult for him. Our temple is too small. This kid is about to go to heaven. We can't keep him here."
On the Dongsheng Company's special flight flying to Hong Kong, Zhu Xuefeng was playing with a pair of little guys. This time when he came back, he brought these two little toys with him to help his godmother ease her homesickness. In a few months, the two little guys have changed a lot, finally making their godmother completely relieved.
"Fourth brother, can we come back to see mom more often?"
Kong Qingqing rolled her big black eyes with anticipation, while her brother was running up and down in the aisle of the cabin. Apart from the cargo of Dongsheng Company, there were only four passengers on this flight, so they could run around and play.
"No problem, you can come back every year."
At the same age, the little girl obviously thinks more than the little boy. Kong Qingqing is still immersed in the reluctance to leave her parents again, but her brother is playing crazy in the cabin. He hopes that his eldest daughter can be as sensible as Kong Qingqing. Thinking of his eldest daughter, Zhu Xuefeng also has a smile on his face. Although they have been together for a short time and the daughter is still young, she can already smile at him, and that innocent smile is very healing. Although he has a lot of family members, he has always had an inexplicable sense of loneliness. Until this moment, Zhu Xuefeng really felt that he was connected to this time and space. This feeling is very mysterious.
The planning work of the autonomous region is progressing rapidly, but no matter how fast or smoothly the plan goes, it will not be possible to meet the conditions before next year. Zhu Xuefeng plans to take care of a few things in this last period of time, and then calm down to engage in research and overall planning and govern well.
Just like the last plague in Europe, the two chose the foggy city as their first stop, and of course North America as their second stop.
A few days later in London, while the lower classes were still amazed that the fog in the foggy city had miraculously disappeared and were rejoicing that they could see the sun in broad daylight, the top leaders were in a state of panic. More than a dozen intelligence personnel responsible for the Far East had disappeared in a few days, and there was still no clue, when another extremely shocking news was reported.
The remaining gold in the London Treasury has disappeared! This news is more troublesome than the previous one, and both news were quickly suppressed.
This news from the London Gold Vault must not be leaked, otherwise, the entire international financial market will be more severely affected and the Bretton Woods system will face huge challenges. In order to cope with this crisis, we can only go to Wall Street to seek solutions. After all, that is the boss and they own more than 76% of the world's gold reserves.
The London Gold Reserve was established in 61 after consultation among the central banks of eight countries in order to solve the gold crisis at that time and stabilize the Bretton Woods system. The eight countries contributed a total of 2.7 million US dollars in gold, and the Bank of England was set up as the agent of the London Gold Reserve. However, after seven years of operation, the gold price fluctuated violently since last year, which continued until recently. The agent bank was unable to bear it and the gold market was forced to close. The seven countries (one of which has withdrawn early) will implement the "dual gold price system" and no longer intervene in the gold free market according to official prices. The London Gold Reserve came to an end.
This crisis caused the devaluation of the pound. Countless people were enjoying a rare sunbath while angrily protesting against the devaluation of their wealth. The marchers did not know the specific reasons, but their wealth was indeed shrinking, which was absolutely unbearable.
There was no time to pay attention to the protests of these ignorant people. After several days of discussion, representatives from several companies could not come up with any solution, so they had to form a group and fly quickly to North America to seek a solution.
But when they arrived, they found that North America seemed to have encountered the same trouble and had no time to take care of them. After waiting for a few days, they had a chance to communicate. But they didn't expect that their North American colleagues were also stunned when they heard it. Both sides encountered the same trouble. A branch of the intelligence system suffered a devastating blow and a large amount of gold was lost.
"This must be the opponent's revenge!" the director was very convinced.
"Let's talk about your business later. Hurry up and investigate the vault. This is more important!" The man who spoke was a middle-aged man. "Yes, Mr. President." The director had no choice but to respond. This was the newly elected president, who was elected in this dark and critical period full of assassinations and chaos with the slogan of maintaining law and order. (See the darkest moment in North America in 1968)
The central bank's vault, which was tightly guarded and had extremely strong security, was fine, but one of the twelve reserve banks, which had slightly weaker security, was robbed. Now North American finance is in crisis.
While these white guys were in a mess, Zhu Xuefeng had already left with Qiu Hong. Behind them, the iconic building of the bald eagle seemed to have lost its former momentum. Even with the naked eye, one could see that there were serious cracks in the statue. This was caused by Zhu Xuefeng forcibly using the statue to absorb the luck of North America.
On the plane, the two people who had completed the mission were closing their eyes to rest tiredly. Both of them were accidentally injured. After slowly recovering over the past few days, they have recovered a lot, but it will probably take some time to fully recover. This time they were really careless and almost capsized.
...
Uncle Yang withdrew his hand and frowned, "You are not in serious trouble. The innate Qi in your body completely suppresses this strange power. You will recover in a few days. But Miss Qiu Hong's injury is not optimistic. She is fine and is no different from an ordinary person, but her cultivation will be greatly affected. Qiu Hong, do you feel that your Qi is not as smooth as before?"
Qiu Hong seemed a little embarrassed. She glanced at the man and sighed, "It seems a little bit. I think when the injuries are all healed, it should be the same as before."
Qiu Hong didn't want to say it at first, for fear that the man would feel upset. In order to prevent anyone from interrupting the man's "epiphany", she forcibly took the other party's thundering blow, which resulted in serious injuries.
Zhu Xuefeng also frowned. He did not expect that the power in Qiu Hong's body could cause such consequences. He was wondering why Qiu Hong had not recovered after taking the healing medicine.
"Uncle Yang, even with my help, she can't fully recover?" Thinking of the miraculous effects of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Zhu Xuefeng felt a hope. At that time, he was immersed in the space upgrade and his consciousness was all in the space. He didn't think that the environment at that time would be dangerous. This led Qiu Hong to mistakenly believe that she was in enlightenment and was unwilling to dodge, so she suffered several heavy blows from the opponent.
"It's possible, but the time won't be too short. The best way is to look for the innate thing. Only this thing can quickly recover, and maybe even reach a higher level. It's a pity that it's hard to find."
Master Yang shook his head. He knew that the two of them had been searching for nearly a year and had gained nothing. They did find quite a few other precious medicinal herbs.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Seeing the man lower his head, Qiu Hong knew that he still felt guilty, so she smiled calmly, "It's okay, didn't Master Uncle say it, it just takes a little longer. Besides, Qiu Hong is lucky enough to break through to this level in this life, thanks to my husband. Even if I don't make any more progress, I will be satisfied."
Zhu Xuefeng shook his head. Qiu Hong had great qualifications and still had a long way to go. How could he give up halfway? Yan Zi also needed him, so he might as well search all over the world again.
"Xiaofeng, tell me, how could your two skills suffer a loss? What happened at that time? Was the opponent very strong?" Seeing Zhu Xuefeng's expression, Uncle Yang knew that he had made up his mind, so he did not try to dissuade him and asked instead.
Uncle Yang was very surprised. Nowadays, innates are all legends and are extremely rare. Two innates went to Western Europe and came back with injuries. This surprised him a little. Are the West so strong?
"The other party claimed to be the Guardian Knights of the Temple, and they said Qiu Hong and I had trespassed into their forbidden area. At the time, I was meditating, and Qiu Hong was guarding me. Because we couldn't communicate, we had a dispute..."
In fact, Zhu Xuefeng's luck space revealed a desire to devour at that time. Zhu Xuefeng and his companion followed the guidance of the space and came to a mysterious mountaintop. Zhu Xuefeng closed his eyes and meditated, silently absorbing the mysterious energy on the top of the mountain. This mysterious energy could make the space grow. Zhu Xuefeng was a little obsessed for a while and failed to realize the danger outside the space.
"You mean, the other party used a strange method similar to summoning a spirit to possess him, and suddenly became extremely powerful, which is why you were injured?"
Qiu Hong nodded, "He was not my opponent at first. I had no grudge against him and I didn't kill him. After I defeated him many times, he still didn't give up. Later, he used a strange method to move the celestial phenomena, and his momentum suddenly increased. At that time, my husband fell into enlightenment. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. I didn't expect that he would be like a different person just by being showered with white light for no reason..."
Uncle Yang stroked his long beard and nodded, "I have some impression. There is a record in the sect's anecdotes. It seems to be their "Angel Advent Technique". They also used it when our ancestors fought against them. In a sense, they are indeed a different person. Generally speaking, they can be comparable to the best innate masters in a short period of time, but their moves are rigid and they should not be your opponent."
At this point, Master Yang realized that he had said the wrong thing. He shook his head and continued after a pause, "According to the records, it can indeed greatly increase strength and defense in a short period of time, but that's all. Next time you meet him, you only need to fight him and his enhancement will dissipate in half an incense stick of time. This kind of spell consumes a lot of energy, and after it dissipates, you can only slaughter him."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded. Although he had injured the opponent at that time, it was not very serious. However, the defeated opponent did fall into a state of near death after a short period of time.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. Now we know what to do." Zhu Xuefeng thanked him with a smile. There would be no next time. At that time, the other party and the two of them were in trouble. How could he leave with peace of mind without dealing with the hidden danger?
Unfortunately, the noise of the fight was too loud and seemed to have alarmed quite a few people. Zhu Xuefeng could only deal with the unlucky knight and then abandon him and run away. According to the Knight Simon Borgia, his luck space was being consumed by the things they claimed to believe in, which alarmed him.
The knight who looked like a middle-aged man was actually over fifty years old. He had been guarding here for decades and had done no serious evil. Zhu Xuefeng was not someone who would take people's lives for no reason, so he kept him.
Faith is probably a kind of energy of luck. With this idea in mind, there was a scene of meditating under the North American statue. There was no protection here, and the two did not leave until cracks appeared on the statue.
In Leader Hao's office, Old Hao and Uncle Kong were listening to Zhu Xuefeng's report. They were both shocked and looked in disbelief. This kid had done something big again, and there was no news outside. I really don't know how he did it.
"Well, one life for one life, it's still a bargain for them." Zhu Xuefeng's tone was very light. The extremely mysterious agents in the eyes of ordinary people were not even able to make a wave in the hands of him and Qiu Hong.
"I will report it, but you were too reckless this time. It's hard to say whether you have any credit for it. You might even be punished. Be mentally prepared." Old Hao had a headache. It was the first time he felt that having his subordinates who were too capable was also a troublesome thing, although it sounded quite satisfying.
"Leader, I know. After completing the mission, I said that I had to go. Otherwise, I would be unhappy for the rest of my life." The tragic conditions of the dead and wounded soldiers were still vivid in Zhu Xuefeng's mind. He couldn't think of anything else but revenge.
"Well, that's good to know. There's nothing else to do. Don't run around these few days. Just stay at home and wait for my news."
"Also, I found a way to get some compensation for them. It might be a bit much, all in gold..."
