Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Beijing.

In a courtyard with armed police on duty outside the gate, Mr. Ye and Wuweizi were sitting opposite each other under a lush grape trellis, staring at the chessboard in front of them as they fought against each other.

Seeing Ye Huai holding a "car" in his hand and refusing to move, Wuweizi stroked his beard and chuckled:

"I didn't expect that you, Ye Huai, who had been a soldier all your life and were decisive in killing, would become a little hesitant and timid when you got old?"

Ye Huai thought about it again and again, then sighed softly and dropped the "rook" in his hand on the chessboard:

"General! Taoist Master, please don't laugh at me. The more I know that time is running out, the more I feel that there are still many things that have not been done. If I don't do some things, even if I die, I will not be able to rest in peace!"

Wuweizi looked at Ye Huai's two "cars" pointing directly at his own "car" guarding in front of the "veteran". It was obvious that he wanted to "redeem the car" with him, and couldn't help but laugh and said:

"So you just want to fight to the death with the other party? It's not that I am telling you, you are almost a hundred years old, why are you still like this that you will die with others at every turn?"

Having said that, Wuweizi did not exchange his limits with Ye Huai's wish, but gently moved a "shi" to guard his "car":

"Have you ever thought about what you should do if others don't want to die with you, but instead send their dead soldiers to protect them and prevent disasters?"

Ye Huai was silent for a long time, then sighed and said:

"When the time comes when we fail to kill tigers, but end up feeding tigers with our own bodies, then I, Ye Huai, will really become a joke. In fact, I also know that killing tigers and killing flies is not something that can be achieved overnight. It's just that if I can't do it before I die, No matter how much I do for the people of the world, how can I, Ye Huai, have the face to meet the Chairman?"

Wuweizi stroked his beard and smiled:

"You understand your thoughts, but haven't you heard the saying that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings? The future is the future of young people after all. As an elder, you only need to pave the way for them to find the right direction. The rest In the end, they still have to walk their own path!"

Ye Huai's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand to push a "pawn" on the chessboard across the river.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the originally treacherous and complicated chess game with unpredictable outcomes suddenly became clearer because of this simple step of "pawn crossing the river"!

"Hahahahaha!"

Wuweizi laughed heartily, threw a chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and readily admitted defeat:

"Pindao lost this round!"

Ye Huai stood up with difficulty with the help of the guards beside him, and bowed to Wuweizi while the guards were stunned:

"Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for saving my life back then and for giving me guidance today. Ye Huaiming is very grateful!"

Wuweizi accepted Ye Huai's bow with peace of mind, then stretched out his hands to straighten Ye Huai's waist, and said with emotion:

"The years are like a fleeting moment, and dozens of years have passed in a blink of an eye. The old bones of the year have now become the two old bones of the present. It is true that the years are like knives, and they are not forgiving at all. You, Ye Huai, have lived your whole life for the people of the world. What is left of you?" How about playing chess, drinking tea, and living leisurely for yourself for a few days with Pindao every day?"

Ye Huai excitedly grabbed Wu Weizi's hands, his cloudy eyes filled with tears, and said tremblingly

"Taoist Priest, do you mean you won't leave?"

Wuweizi nodded and smiled:

"I'm not leaving. Just like you, I don't have much time left. For the rest of the days, let us, a couple who has been together for the rest of the year, go together!"

"Taoist Master, you..."

Ye Huai's heart trembled, and he couldn't believe it: although he was a staunch Marxist and never believed in ghosts and gods, in his eyes, Taoist Wuweizi was an exception.

Will a person like him, who is so detached from the outside world and like a god, have his end one day?

Seeing Ye Huai's expression of disbelief, Wuweizi smiled freely and said:

"Pindao is also a human being, and he will die as a human being. What's so surprising? Pindao was born in the sixth year of Tongzhi. He has lived for two seventy years. Not only has he seen the overthrow of feudal tyranny and the defeat of barbarian invasions, but now I can also witness the founding of the Republic with my own eyes, and see the people all over the world live and work in peace and contentment, and I will die without regrets!"

Ye Huai immediately stood in awe when he heard this, clasped his hands in fists and bowed to the ground:

"Taoist Master Gao Yi, it is my honor, Ye Huai, to walk the rest of the road with Taoist Master in this life!"

"Ha ha!"

Wuweizi smiled happily:

"The most proud thing that Pindao has done in his life is that he saved you, a stupid kid like you, from a kid. Come on, let's play another game. Pindao has never convinced anyone else before when it comes to playing chess! "

"Come here, come here. I obey the Taoist Master in everything else, but I won't support you in this game of chess!"

"Stop using your words and move your chess pieces quickly!"

"Okay Taoist Priest!"

Seeing the two old men in front of them, who combined were almost three hundred years old, arranging chess pieces and bickering with each other like two naughty boys, the guards on the side began to doubt life...

At the same time, a Gulfstream G550 business aircraft landed smoothly on the tarmac of Beijing International Airport.

As soon as Ye Siqi, Chen Wangyang, Zhong Zihua, Zhong Joey, Zhao Zilong, A Li and Zhong Zihua's accompanying assistant bodyguard got off the plane, three red flag cars with military license plates stopped in front of them.

A mature and reserved middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit got off the first red flag car. He smiled and waved to Ye Siqi and said affectionately:

"Siqi, long time no see, welcome home!"

Ye Siqi stepped forward, hugged the middle-aged man very affectionately, and then said jokingly:

"Uncle Fang, I have just left the capital less than a month ago, why haven't I seen you for a long time? How are you doing, is the old man in good health?"

Uncle Fang patted Ye Siqi's back affectionately, then pushed Ye Siqi away slightly, looked up and down and said:

"Mr. Ye's body is still the same, but you seem to have lost a little weight. Are you not used to Qin Province's food?"

Ye Siqi was like a child who had not grown up in front of Uncle Fang, he smiled and said:

"That's not the case. It's just that I miss my grandpa and Uncle Fang so much that I don't think about food or tea, so I lost weight!"

Uncle Fang couldn't help laughing and said:

"You have become the secretary of the county party committee, but you are still as unofficial as before. Why don't you introduce these comrades to Uncle Fang?"

As he spoke, Uncle Fang nodded slightly towards Chen Wangyang and Zhong Zihua, and said enthusiastically:

"Hello everyone, welcome to the capital!"

Chen Wangyang and others knew that Uncle Fang must be a very close person to Mr. Ye, so they quickly returned the greeting politely.

At this time, Ye Siqi finally remembered to introduce to everyone:

"This is Uncle Fang Youwei, who has been my grandfather's secretary for many years. He has watched me grow up since I was a kid. These guys are..."
