The three-day Spring Festival holiday celebrated by the whole country passed in a blink of an eye. Li Anran had to say goodbye to his parents, and his uncle and aunt went to the Hong family to continue special training.
The training content is still gun training and long-distance running, and the content of competition with Hong Tao has been added.
I have to say that Hong Tao is indeed a very good sparring partner. Unlike the fight with Mr. Hong, the old guy predicts all your predictions, and Li Anran can only be beaten. Although I still lose more than I win when I fight against Hong Tao, I can still have back and forth and I can actually feel my progress day by day.
On this day, after Li Anran came back from a long run, he unexpectedly saw Li Ningbo waiting for him outside the Hong Family Courtyard.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"Come for a walk with me and talk to you." Li Ningbo pointed to the path next to him.
Li Anran had a bad feeling in his heart, but he did not show it. He just quietly followed his uncle around the yard to the field ridge behind, and walked for about a mile in silence. Li Ningbo just stopped.
"An Ran, go back to the city tomorrow. The above has arranged for you and Rowena to register for marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau. On the plane next Wednesday, you and her will go to Xiangjiang to meet her father."
< p> Li Anran was not surprised. Although the time was advanced again, it showed that Luo Jiasheng's situation was very unoptimistic. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared. "Okay, I'll be back early tomorrow morning."Li Ningbo frowned, his brows filled with unbreakable worries. "I just discussed with you, Uncle Hong, to let Hong Tao accompany you this time. If something happens to you when you get to Xiangjiang, listen to your brother Hong Tao. He is the commander of the reconnaissance company and has been fighting in the south for more than a year. I have much more experience than you."
It was beyond his expectation that Hong Tao also went, but this move also meant that this trip to Xiangjiang might not be peaceful, otherwise Li Ningbo would not let him go. Hong Tao accompanied him, explaining that he thought it was not safe to be protected by Lin Ziyang, Pan Yuelong, Zhao Guocai, and Wu Min.
He is not afraid, but he, Li Anran, is not someone who has never seen the world. In his previous life, he had a face-to-face fight with the British Secret Service, MI6, in Italy, and he was able to escape unscathed. This time he has at least six helpers by his side. Even if he encounters the Hong Kong underworld or other organizations, he will not be intimidated.
The only thing that frightens him is the Illuminati. This organization... has no lower limit.
"Can you take this guy there?" Li Anran asked.
"You don't need to bring it with you. Someone will pick you up after you get off the plane. The protection should be enough, so you don't have to worry about it. The reason why you are given special training is just in case."
< p> After listening to his uncle's words, Li Anran became a little worried. With such a big fanfare, you still say there is no danger? Of course he wouldn't blame his uncle, because Li Ningbo may not know all the plans and the truth. Forget it, I took the other two hundred and twoOne hundred thousand, you have to do some work to be able to afford the money."In addition, if you can successfully complete the task this time, you will get one percent of the inheritance in return. With this money, even if you don't have to work to make money in your life, it will be enough. I ...I can give an explanation to your father." Li Ningbo sighed slightly, things were getting more and more beyond his expectation. The higher the price offered by the other party, the more he felt sorry for his nephew. He has not told anyone about this matter in his family. He is most afraid of facing his eldest brother and sister-in-law. If...he doesn't know how to explain it to them.
"One percent? That's a lot of money. It's pretty good. Uncle, actually you don't have to feel guilty. I'm very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. Really. The so-called wealth is risky. Please, it’s worth taking a little risk to make money that you won’t make in a lifetime.”
Hearing Li Anran’s words of comfort, Li Ningbo’s heart seemed to be grabbed by a big hand, and he was squeezed hard, unable to speak. The pain is uncomfortable.
But what can he do? Starting from taking over the task of protecting the Luo family's mother and daughter, Luo Jiasheng proposed a new plan, and Li Anran was dragged into the water. I originally thought that at most it would damage Li Anran's reputation, but now I have to take the risk of not knowing the reason. During the whole process, Li Ningbo was the most passive. He was just a character who followed orders. Throughout the entire incident, the only thing he could do was to fight for Li Anran's interests.
Resisting the cramping discomfort in his heart, Li Ningbo calmed down and looked back at his nephew, who was half a head taller than him, "An Ran, you have to be careful when you get there. Safety matters. You must listen to your Brother Tao. As for the rest, it's up to you. Don't let me down..."
Li Anran's heart twitched and she couldn't help but go up and hug Li gently. Ningbo whispered in his ear, "No one like Wang Zhiming is my opponent, others can't hurt me."
Speaking of Wang Zhiming, he remembered that Liu Cuifen and her daughter working on the street didn't know What now, maybe now is the best time to speak up for them. Because Li Ningbo felt guilty, he might be willing to help send the mother and daughter to Xiangjiang.
"Uncle, there is something I want to tell you." Li Anran let go of his hand, took a step back slightly, organized his words in his mind, and told Liu Cuifen's story in detail, "Uncle , can you help them go to Xiangjiang? This is my promise, and I really want to fulfill it."
Li Ningbo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded lightly, "Leave the little things to me. . ”
The two strolled back from the field ridge and arrived at the entrance of the yard. Uncle Hong and Hong Tao stood there, seemingly waiting for a while.
"Old Hong, I'm going back first. I won't say thank you anymore." Li Ningbo went up and held Old Man Hong's hands tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Stop talking about the pretentious things between us. I want to say thank you. I, the whole Hong family,Why don't I thank you every day for saving my life? The boss and the second brother also want to thank you today. Just a word of thanks is not enough. ”
Later, Li Anran found out why the relationship between the two families was so strong.
After being discharged from the army, Mr. Hong returned home to farm. During the ideological movement, he had conflicts with those activists and failed. After injuring several people, those people wanted to send Mr. Hong to a labor camp. Grandma Hong was illiterate but very smart. She sent a distress telegram to Li Ningbo, who was still the leader of the Northeast at that time, and traveled thousands of miles day and night. He rushed over and saved Uncle Hong with his own efforts.
Saving Uncle Hong actually saved the family.
Later, the Hong brothers joined the army, and it was also Li Ningbo. The eldest son of the Hong family is now a battalion-level cadre, and the Hong family has gained a foothold and is somewhat prestigious at the village level. All of this is thanks to Li Ningbo, and everyone in the Hong family is naturally involved. They were grateful.
Both of them were staunch soldiers, so they did not continue their conversation, but shook hands vigorously.
After Li Ningbo left, Uncle Hong did not arrange for Li Anran to continue training, but called him and Hong Tao into the side room.
This room was rarely opened, and Li Anran had never entered it in these many days.
p>
The room is not big, there is only a small square table with an incense burner on it. There is a portrait of Mr. Guan on the wall opposite the incense burner. It must be the place where Uncle Hong worships Mr. Guan.
Uncle Hong took out three sticks of incense from the drawer and lit them. He bowed three times, then put the incense in the incense burner and said with a serious face, "Taoer, kowtow to Grandpa Guan. "
Hong Tao also took three sticks of incense and lit them. Later, Xiangqin brought a mat and placed it in front of the table. Hong Tao went up and knelt down, kowtowed three times, got up and put the incense in the incense burner.
Uncle Hong took a bamboo board from the side and slapped Hong Tao on the shoulder, "Do you remember what you should do? "
Hong Tao remained motionless, straightened his body, and said loudly, "Justice is as thin as the sky, but loyalty lasts forever. "
Li Anran was confused and turned to look at Xiangqin. Xiangqin nodded slightly towards him and said nothing.
There was another snap, and the bamboo board in Uncle Hong's hand He hit Hong Tao's other shoulder again, "Be calm when encountering problems and never be impulsive. "
Hong Tao answered loudly, "Be calm when things happen and never be impulsive. "
Uncle Hong's expression softened slightly and he waved to Li Anran, "Come here. "
Li Anran walked over and Hong Tao stepped aside.
"Anran, from today on, are you willing to trust Hong Tao as your own brother? "
Li Anran nodded, "I will. ”
“Let’s light up the incense.” "Old man Hong put down the bamboo board in his hand, took three sticks of incense, lit them and handed them to Li Anran.
LiAn Ran followed suit, knelt on the mat and kowtowed to Master Guan three times, then inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.
"Tao'er, I leave An Ran's safety to you..."
Li Anran couldn't help but interrupt Mr. Hong's babble, "Uncle, I don't need Tao." Brother, I can protect myself."
Then he was slapped on the forehead, "If you try to show off, I'll hit you first."
