Jagged city

Chapter 78 Being plotted against

On November [-]th, Lin Tao began to participate in the competition. He entered a military base in New York, USA by helicopter of the U.S. Air Force. The head of the Chinese delegation, Staff Officer Yu, besides Lin Tao and Hu Yang, had three entourages and Ambassador Li from the embassy. A military attache, Huang Jinsong, and a counselor, Li Lu. │| │It can be said that the Chinese delegation received the courtesy of the United States government. Although the competition is hosted by the United Nations, the United States is the organizer, and no more than six countries enjoy the treatment of helicopters.

In the afternoon of that day, a group of nine people checked into the hotel of the U.S. Army base and entered a large stadium in the base to participate in the opening ceremony at 190:1 p.m. The national flags of 50 countries and regions were raised on the playground, which was spectacular. The Secretary-General of the United Nations gave the opening ceremony Words, there are 500 green crowds in the stands. It seems that all countries attach great importance to it.When introducing the Chinese guests, Lin Tao heard an unfamiliar name, General Feng Mingsheng, didn't he mean Lieutenant General Li?Why did you change people? This Feng Mingsheng is tall and straight, with a graceful demeanor. It seems that he is a man in his [-]s.However, Lin Tao felt a trace of unfriendly glances towards the delegation, especially Lin Tao.Lin Tao shook his head. The distance is [-] meters, which may be due to psychological effects.

The following performances were remarkable, with thousands of large-scale military gymnastics, singing and dancing, speeding cars - etc., which were refreshing. The two-hour opening ceremony ended, and it was already 09:30 when we returned to the hotel.Ambassador Li and Huang Jinsong returned by car from the embassy, ​​and Li Lu now played the role of Lin Tao's assistant and stayed.Originally, Lin Tao wanted to go straight back to the guest room to rest, but unexpectedly, after the staff member answered the phone, the group started to ride in the car again. It turned out that General Feng Mingsheng summoned them. It was a hundred kilometers away from here, and Lin Tao was unhappy. Martial arts competition, but it can't be tossed like this.A group of people came to the "Meilin Hotel", which was in Chinese style. Under the guidance of a major, they came to the eighteenth floor of the hotel. There was a post at eight steps and a sentry at ten steps. There were soldiers and plainclothes, and they couldn't get out of the corridor. 20 people were under strict protection. When they came to the entrance of the presidential suite, five people were checked. Li Lu and two entourage were left behind. Staff officer Yu led Lin Tao and Hu Yang into the presidential suite. When the door was opened, there were four people standing inside. He is a plainclothes man, with bright eyes and bulging temples, so he can be seen as a foreign expert at a glance.

"Three, please come in." A beautiful female major led the three of them to the hall. An old man in a white Tang suit was leaning on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, half-closed his eyes, as if he didn't see the three of them coming in .

"General Feng, Staff Officer Yu is here," the female major reminded in a low voice.

"Major General Staff Yu Lianjun led Senior Colonel Lin Tao, Lieutenant Colonel Hu Yang reported" Staff Yu saluted, Lin Tao and Hu Yang followed suit without daring to neglect.

Admiral Feng unhurriedly put down his red wine, then waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's a private meeting, there is no need to be formal, please sit down."

Lin Tao was annoyed, this Admiral Feng has such a great score, the three of them didn't even lift their salutes.Lin Tao sat down with Staff Officer Yu. The three of them were all in military uniforms and sat upright.Observe the mouth with the nose, and ask the heart with the mouth, just like an old monk in meditation.

"Little, tell me how the schedule is arranged."

"Report to General Feng, enter at 01:30 pm tomorrow, November 02th, Lieutenant Colonel Hu Yang will participate in the first round of fixed target shooting competitions, Colonel Lin Tao will participate in the martial arts competition, and the fifth group will start around 30:[-]. On the [-]th, at [-]:[-] am Click on the first round of the fixed target shooting rematch. Participate in the moving target preliminary round at [-] p.m.; since martial arts cannot be participated in a large scale at the same time, the first round of retest is at [-] a.m. on the [-]th. At [-] p.m., the first round of rematch with moving targets—”

To enter the final, Hu Yang has to participate in [-] rounds, and Lin Tao has to play [-] rounds.Definitely a daunting task.

"Your Excellency, the dinner is ready," the female officer said with a smile on her face.Lin Tao's eyelids twitched. At this time, the female officer was wearing a white sleeveless cheongsam with patterns of peony flowers on it. Her breasts were bulging, and her snow-white thigh was exposed with a high slit.Does this damage the image of a soldier? Could it be Old Man Feng's lover.

"Okay, let's talk while drinking. Tonight is the celebration wine I prepared for you in advance." General Feng got up, and the three followed. Beyond his eyebrows, he followed behind with a charming smile, and secretly winked at the two of them.

Entering the restaurant, what catches the eye is crystal lighting, long tables covered with white tablecloths, gold and silver tableware, and hot and cold dishes full of aromas. Four waiters in blue cheongsams opened the chairs for four people to sit. Next, the female major sits under General Feng's hands, very naturally.

"Come and bring up my treasured Moutai," General Feng ordered, and a black plainclothes quickly brought four bottles of Moutai.Staff Officer Yu frowned, and said in his heart, General Feng, there is a competition tomorrow, and it is a bit unreasonable to let the participating players drink Moutai in the middle of the night.

"I think back when I was fighting the little devils in Vietnam, every time before the battle started, I would drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat. Even if I persuaded the soldiers to drink a big bowl of soju, they would become invincible King Kong, rushing upwards under the rain of bullets, The bullet pierced through the thigh, but it just turned somersaults, but still went forward bravely, blocked the little Vietnamese devil in the mouse hole, threw a dynamite bag into it, boom, what arms and legs, heads, melon seeds, and minced meat all flew into the sky, it's really amazing Fun. There was another time when I couldn’t attack the 8th highland. At that time, I was just a deputy battalion commander. I was absolutely not afraid of death. Seeing more than 100 brothers died in one day, I felt like I was stabbed in my heart. So at night, I drank Zhuangxing wine , with the company commander Huang Baotian under his command, the two of us touched the 8th highland. This Huang Baotian is a martial arts master. He can compete with Lao Tzu, especially with a beautiful throwing knife. , pierced the little devil's head with a knife, I was not jealous of the military stabbing, and stabbed twelve of them to death in the dark."

"The general was really mighty back then!" Staff Officer Yu said.

"Where, where, I'm getting old now, let's have a drink first." General Feng gulped it down.Then he began to talk about his glorious deeds, how he and Huang Yutian dressed up as the Vietnamese army, when the battle started, they cooperated with each other and took down the 8th highland in one fell swoop, which won a precious half a day for the army to counterattack, so he was awarded the personal special merit. Promoted directly to two levels to become deputy head.How to fight to Hanoi later, when the war ended, he had become the deputy division commander.Lin Tao really listened with great interest and heard many unknown ciphertexts.

Just talking and laughing like this, in less than an hour, each bottle of Moutai bottomed out, and the second bottle of Moutai began to be poured again.Populus euphratica has red eyes.

"Come on, I wish you success tomorrow." General Feng took another gulp.This time Populus euphratica just touched his lips, but did not drink.Lin Tao gulped it down.

"Xiao Hu, we soldiers should have arrogance. Look how refreshing Xiao Lin is. Why don't you drink it?"

"General, I want to drink again. I have to lie down and enter the shooting range tomorrow. Please forgive me." Hu Yang said with a smile.General Feng was slightly displeased.

Staff Yu was already sweating on his forehead at this time, not because he had drunk too much alcohol, but mainly because he was the team leader of the competition. If he failed this time, he would lose face and lose chips in the promotion.If this was a lieutenant general entertaining him, he would have suggested withdrawing the wine a long time ago, but this Admiral Feng really couldn't afford to offend him, so he held his breath and drank Moutai, which was even more uncomfortable than drinking Coptis chinensis. I can't stop talking.

"Yes, General, the two of them will have a match tomorrow. This is a political mission, and there is no room for mistakes. General Feng must forgive me. The real celebration banquet will definitely be drunk, so that General Feng can enjoy himself."

"Oh, you mean I don't understand politics anymore." General Feng's face sank, and the atmosphere in the audience was very depressed.

"No, no, I was fined three cups in a row." Staff officer Yu dripped sweat on his forehead, drank three cups in one go, and half a catty of Moutai fell into his stomach.Hu Yang gritted his teeth and drank a cup.

"Hehehe, I'm joking, Xiao Xiao hastened to eat some food and suppress the wine." General Feng's face seemed to be cloudy and sunny in June, becoming amiable.This angry smile caused Staff Officer Yu to go through the two worlds of ice and fire, and he was already sweating profusely.

"Come on, General Yu has a mouthful of wild mushroom soup." The female major brought a bowl of soup to Staff Officer Yu, swallowed it down, and then wiped off the sweat with a towel.

"Yu is good and has a bright future. Xiao Lin is also good. Let's have a last drink, Xiao Tong hurry up and fill it up."

Damn it, I'm ignorant, Hu Yang cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

No one can refuse the last drink, but Lin Tao doesn't care, this drink can relax the muscles and activate the blood, and now Lin Tao's Hunyuanyi Qigong has reached the fourth level, even if he drinks ten catties, it's okay, as long as he gets a little exercise, he will heal Sweat out.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when the group returned to the Army Base Hotel. Lin Tao took off his clothes and went into the bathroom in a dazed state. He turned on the shower and slipped down the wall. Lin Tao actually fell asleep.

At 06:30 the next morning, a waiter actually found a piece of water flowing from the door of 602, and knocked on the door quickly, but he couldn't open it.It happened that Captain Liu, an entourage of the Chinese delegation, went out to see it.

"what happened?"

"The door is locked, and the water is pouring out of it—"

Captain Ma didn't dare to be negligent and kicked open the door, only to see that the room was full of water. Captain Ma rushed into the bathroom and saw Lin Tao lying naked on the ground with the shower still on. He felt that something was wrong.He quickly carried Lin Tao out, dried himself with a bath towel, and put Lin Tao on the bed.

"What's going on?" Staff Officer Yu was also alarmed. They came in to take a look and were shocked. At this moment, Lin Tao was out of shape.

"Colonel Lin passed out in the bathroom"

"That's why I soaked overnight, so I'll send you to the hospital immediately"

Fortunately, there is the best hospital near the army base, but no problems were found after some tests.Just dehydrated, now Lin Tao is weak, so hung up on glucose.Staff Officer Yu's face turned green, what should I do?what to do?What if something happened?I'm afraid I will be ruined. Staff Yu also knows that there are several bigwigs in the military who are paying attention to Lin Tao's growth, and this time Lin Tao's competition is sure to win the championship. This matter falls into his own hands, what should I do?The future is over.By the way, I passed out in the bathroom all the time. Could it be because of drinking? Didn't I drink three more glasses than him? No, the blood test just now didn't reveal alcohol poisoning. What's the matter?Could it be General Feng's fault? Why did he do this?How can it be?No, the matter is very important, I have to report to the country immediately.

Just when the staff officer was about to make an international call, Lin Tao woke up.

"Give me water" Lin Tao called weakly.

"Wow, Colonel Lin is awake!" Li Lu yelled, and Staff Officer Yu's hands trembled, he pressed the shuttlecock wrongly, and the call was not made.

"Xiao Lin, you're awake!" Staff Officer Yu almost cried, and shook Lin Tao's bed himself. Someone had already brought water, and Lin Tao wanted to drink a glass of water. Lin Tao drank five glasses in a row.Staff officer Yu dared not let him drink.

"Xiao Lin, you are so fainted, what should you do, what should you do now, you have to enter the arena in two hours." Staff Yu even wanted to die.

Lin Tao didn't answer, sat up on the bed and pulled out the needle.

"What are you doing?" Li Lu shouted.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, you all go out, I want to do something." A murderous intent flashed in Lin Tao's eyes, and Staff Officer Yu couldn't help but shuddered, and his hairs stood on end.

"Okay, let's all go out." After the staff officer finished speaking, he was also a little confused, why he was so obedient.

Everyone went out, closed the door, and stood guard for Lin Tao.Lin Tao sat cross-legged on the bed, with five hearts turned to the sky, and started Hunyuanyi Qigong. This set of exercises was taught to Lin Tao by the old monk Huiming when Lin Tao was in his senior year. Lin Tao has been practicing for four years now, one step at a time, and his progress is rapid. , This is also the foundation of Lin Tao's internal strength of Baguazhang, and Hunyuan Yiqigong does not conflict with Baguazhang's internal strength. To use an analogy, if the meridians of the human body are a big tree, then the internal strength of Baguazhang is to cultivate branches, and Hunyuan One Qigong is to cultivate the backbone, the root system, and open up the bridge between heaven and earth.This Hunyuan Yiqigong has twelve levels in total, and each level is more difficult to practice. It took Lin Tao four years to cultivate to the fourth level, and two old monks already praised him as a genius.After Lin Tao practiced the exercises for a week, his blood flowed smoothly, his skin quickly became rosy, his body seemed to swell, his face was plump, and he no longer looked haggard.If you look carefully, some water vapor is steaming from the top of Lin Tao's head.Lin Tao finished his work and let out a sigh of relief.
