As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the capital is basically in a state of 'martial law' at any time, no matter who it is, no matter what force is allowed to be presumptuous and rude in this kind of place, so the old man also understands that Chen Fei's scruples are not unreasonable. It's pretty much a dead end, and there's no room for manoeuvre.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. What a waste of talent like you, kid. When he thought of this old man, he couldn't help but sigh again, and his expression was slightly drunk.

"Grandpa Xu, you really think too highly of me...... Crouching tigers and leopards in the mountains, unicorns hidden in the fields, how many hermits and strange people in this world, and amazing talents? I am just one of the small waves, it is not surprising. ”

But when Chen Fei heard this, he shook his head with a smile, squinted his eyes slightly, and said: "Besides, I am used to being at ease in a small place like Beishan, and I don't have any great ambitions in my life, I just hope that I can make more achievements in martial arts, so that simple life is more suitable for me." If you provoke something casually, you can suppress it. ”

"That's it...... Phew, what is in your mouth, you kid. What does it mean to be able to suppress anything you provoke, and you're not one of those brainless fools......"

Listening to the old man first, he nodded slightly drunkly, as if he recognized Chen Fei's words of 'Crouching tigers and leopards in the deep mountains, and hiding unicorns in the fields', but the more he went to the back, the more he felt that something was wrong with sounding, and he couldn't help but pat the chair and roll his eyes.

But then he sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "You kid is at ease, but you have suffered a lot of my old man's age, and I have to worry about this kind of." ”

"You're so old now, aren't you a family and everything, what else can you do?" Chen Fei didn't know why, and wondered.

"It's as simple as you think. ”

Hearing this, the old man glared at Chen Fei, shook his head slightly, and said: "The current capital is completely a pool of stagnant water, but there are countless careful thoughts and deeds hidden in it. As the saying goes, human nature is greedy and ambitious, and our Chen family is standing too high now, and many people are still red-eyed. ”

You must know that this kind of words are very sensitive, even in front of his old man's own children, he has never been in advance, but now he is unscrupulously saying it in front of Chen Fei, which is enough to show that he really treats Chen Fei as his own...... Some words, some things have been held in his heart for too long, and he will always be tired, and he wants to find someone to talk to and confide in.

After all, with a giant tree of the republic like his old man, every word and deed, even if he talks casually, will be considered and measured with a magnifying glass, not to mention such a sensitive topic, if it leaks out, I don't know how big the storm will be.

And although Chen Fei doesn't understand the twists and turns in the political arena, he still understands what he says!

Immediately, I saw that he couldn't help but change color slightly, and said with a strange expression: "Old man, I didn't understand what you said. With your old man's identity in the capital and in the republic, is it possible that there are still people who dare to mess around and find trouble?"

"No one dared when I was there, but what if I died? Chen boy, you saved my life, you should know very well how long I have to live now. ”

But when I heard this, the old man slowly took a sip of the tea, and said lightly: "Back then, when I adopted Wang Yang and Peiyi, they were already old, so now the eldest of the two of them is just in his early fifties, and Wang Yang's military rank has just been promoted to major general not long ago." If I leave, do you think he can afford to support the Xu family at this height?"

Hearing this, Chen Fei was stunned for a long time, but finally squinted and didn't speak again. Because he really knows very well how long the old man can live, if there are no special circumstances, at most another year and a few months, and it will really be over.

After all, birth, old age, sickness and death are the rules of nature from ancient times to the present.

No one can live forever, because that's all a pipe dream, especially on this earth, it's a miracle to live to more than 110 years.

As for the so-called Xu family of this height in the old man's mouth, even if he thinks about it with his ass, he can know that it is not idle.

And with the current identity and rank of Major General Xu Wangyang Xu, 'just' the deputy chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region, although it is already very awesome in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that it is still too difficult and not qualified to support the current Xu family.

After all, in the process of coming over before, he had already learned some about the situation in the capital circle from Xu Xi's mouth.

There are many families in the capital who are really qualified to be called top wealthy families, and their descendants are all over the military, government and business, and their influence is great. But it is really from the chaotic era back then, to the old people who are still alive and well, and they are qualified to be called the top families, but there are only three, known as the three red giants.

The three red giants are: the Chen family, the Sun family, and the Liu family.

In addition, there is a special case, and that is the Xu family.

Because the old man Xu was also shrouded in horse leather from that era, his identity and status were not inferior to the old men of the other three families, but because the old man's knees were not prosperous, and the children were too young and their ranks were not high, so the position of the Xu family in the capital was slightly embarrassing.

Let's take the simplest example. Chen Bingzhang, the eldest son of the old lady of the Chen family, is now in his seventies and eighties, and he has retired from the height of the deputy national level of the National U Academy.

But the eldest son of the old man, Xu Wangyang, is only in his early fifties, and he is only the deputy chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region...... The gap is clear.

"Then old man, are you going to do it now?" Thinking of this, an outsider like Rao is Chen Fei couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and a pair of dark eyes peeked at the old man and whispered. Just thinking about it casually as an outsider like him makes him feel a headache, not to mention the most critical position of the old man now... It must have been a lot of pressure.

"You can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, my old bones are still a little useful in talking, and those soldiers and eggs under me were still willing to sell me a few thin noodles... With Wang Yang's current situation, it is best to transfer him to a certain group army as a commander, so that it will be more beneficial to his future promotion......" The old man squinted his eyes and said a little drunk, as if he was a little drunk, talking to himself.

He is a great hero and a former marshal, so his influence in the army is unimaginably huge.

Originally, he was very disgusted with doing this in the past, and used the influence in his hands to make things convenient for his daughter and grandchildren...... But after all, it is a rare person who knows the destiny of heaven, and his thoughts have changed a little.

It doesn't matter if the Chen family is declining or not, as long as the children and descendants can live a better life, don't wait until he dies, if there is too much trouble, he will already be satisfied.

"Old man, don't worry too much, after all, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, besides, I think Uncle Xu still seems to be quite capable, he should have enough time, he can go up." Chen Fei didn't know much about this aspect, so he could only comfort him perfunctorily.

"Huh. Chen boy, if I ask you something, you have to answer me honestly. What is your impression of the Chen family?" the old man smiled lightly and suddenly asked.

"Which Chen family?" Chen Fei said slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Which Chen family are you talking about, don't give me a sloppy look...... Didn't you just come into contact with Old Man Chen's grandson?" Hearing Chen Fei's words, the old man blew his beard and glared slightly, but when he followed, he noticed that Chen Fei really didn't know something, and then his cloudy eyes flashed with surprise, and then he spoke.

No, it's hard to be... This kid really doesn't know his relationship with the old Chen family until now?

"You mean Uncle Chen Zhenjun? Oh, actually, I didn't know him before, but my mother and he seemed to be old friends, so ...... As for my impression, I've heard someone call him a minister before, and it seems that his origin is not ordinary. Chen Fei explained and guessed again.

Hearing this, the old man was silent for a while, and finally touched the rattan chair lightly, and his angular old face showed a meaningful look, and said slowly: "That is the third generation of the old Chen family, and he is indeed a very good young man, very capable and courageous." And he seems to be on the verge of a critical moment lately...... If nothing else, he should be able to take another step up there. ”

"That's a good congratulations. Hearing this, Chen Fei said perfunctorily, a pair of dark eyes as clear as glass were full of doubts, and he didn't know why.

But at this moment, the old man squinted his eyes and said slightly: "Old man Chen has many sons and daughters, but the most competitive is Boss Chen's lineage, and then it seems to be Chen Laosan...... It's just that I recently heard that Old Man Chen is almost unbearable, and he has lived for more than a hundred years, and I don't know if he can survive this autumn. ”

"The time has come?" Chen Fei was slightly stunned.

"Well, it's almost over, that's what everyone who showed him said. The old man sighed slightly.

Then I saw that his words changed slightly, and suddenly said slowly: "Because the stakes are high, this news is still locked to death, and few people know about it......

"Don't worry, old man, I won't leak it. Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately reassured.

"I'm not trying to say that. ”

But the old man actually shook his head, stared at Chen Fei with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said slowly: "I know that your master is Ming Daochuan, and I can also understand that old boy's heart is not poor." It's just that when people get old, they will always make mistakes, and there is no perfect person from ancient times to the present, so ...... He doesn't need to be too stubborn. ”

"What do you say, old man...... What do you mean? I don't really understand. Hearing this, Chen Fei was a little puzzled and puzzled.

"After a while, you should understand. What I just told you, find a time, talk to your master, and see what he says. Maybe he'll tell you what you want to know. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's voice suddenly stopped, and then he shook his head while getting up: "Originally, this is your family matter, I shouldn't talk too much, it's just Old Man Chen...... Hey, let's go inside, it's late at night. ”

As he spoke, he went back to the house alone, leaving Chen Fei slightly stunned and staying in place, frowning a little.

Housekeeping?

Chen?
