Chapter 353: Standing Up Headquarters
It was still the narrow and crowded residential area, like an old courtyard forgotten in the old times.
A greasy-faced, slightly hunched old man sat alone under a tree, fiddling with a chessboard on the flower bed.
He played as two people, holding two pieces in each hand, and had a lot of fun!
Jiang Qian watched from a distance in a secluded place, took out the exploration notes from the prop locker, and wrote down the ID of the God of Wine on the notes:
Write: God of Wine.
The notes replied: "A naga who is greedy for wine and meat and has a bad nature."
Jiang Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.
The naga is a strange beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It looks like an ape and has a pair of white ears. It can crawl and walk upright.
Legend has it that the naga can know the past, but cannot know the future. In addition, his meat has the effect of strengthening the walking body. After eating it...
Jiang Qian was thinking, and the notebook in his hand was blown by the wind and suddenly out of his control!
It was like being caught by a fish hook...
When he looked up again, the exploration notebook was already in the hands of the God of Wine.
The strange old man with a greasy face weighed the notebook in his hand and showed a meaningful smile to Jiang Qian.
"I am abrupt, please forgive me, Senior God of Wine!"
Jiang Qian immediately appeared, bowed his hands to admit his mistake, and made a posture of standing at attention to be beaten.
He had just entered the realm of the fourth state and the complete body. It was like a fool's dream to want to get away with it in front of a six-state priest by quibbling.
In this case, it is better to be straightforward.
At the same time, Jiang Qian also secretly speculated how much dissatisfaction the act of spying on the identity card species would cause to the other party, which would affect whether the purpose of his coming here was achieved as he wished.
"Well, it's interesting."
The God of Wine weighed the exploration notes, but had no intention of opening them to find out. He raised his hand and threw the notes back to Jiang Qian:
"Your little tricks have been used on me, an old man. You are interesting!"
Jiang Qian took the notes, secretly rejoiced, and took a step forward: "Thank you for your magnanimity!"
Then he was about to explain his purpose of coming this time, but was stopped by the God of Wine with the same gesture as yesterday: "Don't ask me!"
Jiang Qian was choked and frowned.
After thinking for a moment, he bowed his hands calmly and apologized: "I understand. It's my fault that I ruined your interest today. I will definitely come to apologize another day."
The implication is that I will come again.
The confidence to say this is that Jiang Qian did not detect any malice from the other party.
Even when his privacy was peeped, he could still be so calm, which made Jiang Qian want to get closer and explore more.
The God of Wine turned his head, glanced at Jiang Qian indifferently, and waved his hand: "You don't need to come again, go home!"
Is this a way of saying goodbye?
Jiang Qian stopped where he was, hesitating.
"I told you to go home! No need to ask me." The God of Wine said sternly.
Seeing the other party's disgusted expression, Jiang Qian became calmer: "Senior, are you really not curious about the reason why I came to you? Maybe there is a misunderstanding between us."
"Misunderstanding?"
The God of Wine seemed to have heard a joke and laughed loudly in the courtyard.
The residents who passed by saw that it was the old naughty boy who was making trouble, so they were too lazy to pay attention and avoided him.
Only Jiang Qian waited patiently.
He could see the innocence and straightforwardness of the other party from the old wrinkles of the God of Wine that were squeezed together because of the "laughing" action.
That did not contain ridicule of anyone, but the joy that only he could experience.
After a while, the God of Wine stopped smiling and looked at Jiang Qian:
"You are Xuesong's son, right?"
This short sentence made Jiang Qian's pupils shrink violently - Xuesong, Jiang Xuesong! It was his father's name...
An inexplicable feeling of depression stagnated in his heart: "Yes."
"Eldest son, or youngest son?"
Jiang Qian's lips moved: "Youngest son."
"Well... there is a bit of resemblance." The God of Wine smiled.
Jiang Qian asked: "Are you my father's friend?"
"Not really."
The God of Wine yawned naturally, and while packing up the chessboard and chess pieces, he said to himself: "Old man, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep!"
As the sound of the slippers faded away, Jiang Qian gradually recovered from the information storm.
But he still couldn't take a step:
This God of Wine, whose identity was suspected to be one of the Seven Gods of Ashes, actually knew his father Jiang Xuesong. Does this mean that his father is also one of the licensees?
Jiang Qian had already noticed that the war of gods had taken place twelve years ago. The accident that caused his father's death and his body's abnormal transformation also happened twelve years ago. Is there any connection between these two seemingly unrelated events?
No, it's unlikely.
If his father was a lawful cardholder back then, the lawful officials would not have had a record of his father, and they would not have treated him as an enemy at the beginning of their contact!
Logically speaking, shouldn't the descendants of organization members be the most trustworthy descendants with a good family background? But not only did he not enjoy this preferential treatment, he was also questioned for a long time.
Does that mean that my father's identity as a license holder has not been known to the lawful authorities?
My father Jiang Xuesong is probably not on the side of lawfulness...
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian raised his head suddenly.
"Go home?"
He quickly recalled what Dionysus had said to him today:
- "You don't need to come again, go home!"
...
- "I told you to go home! No need to ask me."
...
Go home.
Dionysus, this senior who seems to have no ill will towards me at the moment, is trying to convey something to me?
Jiang Qian turned around, went out of the community, stopped a taxi, and went straight to the station!
He took the train that day and returned to Jinping.
During this period, he did not reveal his movements to anyone and went straight back home.
As classmate Axi reported in advance, his sister was not at home, his aunt went out to buy food and had not returned, and the old man of the Jiang family was playing mahjong next door.
Jiang Qian sneaked back home alone and got the key to the "old house" from the drawer of the old man's study.
The big house they currently live in was bought by the elder sister later. All the old things of the parents and even Jiang Yang are in the old house.
Combined with the information revealed by the god of wine to Jiang Qian: the connection between the father and the super-species world may exist in the father's relics...
Of course, when Jiang Qian got the key, some subtle changes were also happening in the room of the elder sister next door.
A glass tank for pets on the shelf suddenly opened slowly. After a while, a small jumping spider with golden patterns emerged from the soil, passed through the open glass door, and ran down along the shelf!
After a while, it successfully passed through the crack of the door and entered the living room.
At this time, the lights in the study were still on.
Under the setting sun, this golden spider, which was less than 5mm, actually produced a moment of mutual brilliance with the painting of Sunshine Golden Mountain hanging on the background wall of the sofa in the living room.
It quickly crawled away and soon disappeared into insignificance.
During the whole process, A Xi, who was guarding the house, was quiet and did not fart.
…
On the way from home to the "old house", Jiang Qian received a call from Princess Senxi.
This proud girl who always made him feel like spring breeze asked: "Qianlong Wuyong, are you done with your work?"
"What's wrong?"
It was evening, and Jiang Qian was in a taxi on the way to the old house.
A sigh came from the other end of the phone: "Just received a temporary notice, the Blood Elder is hosting tonight, inviting all the dignitaries to attend a cocktail party in the highest-level banquet hall of the headquarters. Can you... still make it back?"
"It's hard." Jiang Qian said regretfully, "What will happen if I don't go?"
"I'm afraid I'll be disliked. Well, you know, it's troublesome to be disliked by the six-state priest elders, especially for a new dignitary like you who is not small in reputation. Once you are absent, it will be quite conspicuous." Senxi sighed from the other side.
Jiang Qian smiled: "Thank you, I understand."
"From what you said, are you going to stand up the Bloody Elder?"
"It's hard to say, maybe, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qian did not change his schedule and continued to rush to the old house.
He was more worried about missing the "information" released by the God of Wine to him than being recorded by a certain six-state priest.
I can only ask my leader to help me block it, um... Jiang Qian thought that he still needed to call Ji Ming later to make the necessary report. Having a legitimate reason is at least much more polite than standing him up directly.
Before that, he must first confirm what is hidden in the old house.
Jiang Qian was faintly excited.
It was a kind of excitement that the confusion that had been accumulated in his heart for many years was about to be released, and it also covered the curiosity and anxiety about the unknown situation. Although he had tried his best to stay calm.
It seemed that the relationship between his father, his missing brother, and even his sister Yu Xuan, who had no blood relationship with him, and the lawful officials was hidden in the approaching old house of the Jiang family.
