Chapter 651: In the name of Qi Ting, grandpa is the Grand Marshal of the Nation, and the Zhao family
"Are they really members of the mysterious 'Fifth Kingdom'?"
Qi Tongwei did not deny it at all and expressed his agreement.
"Dad, I agree!"
"If leaders of Lu Shouren's level are all members of the 'Fifth Kingdom', then it will be very difficult for us to eradicate this cancer!"
A short pause.
He spoke further to Zhao Mengsheng in a low voice.
"Dad, there is another very strange thing..."
Zhao Mengsheng said "Oh?" "What's the matter?"
"It's Jiang Yao, another high-ranking official in a ministry... the Jiang Yao from the legendary Jiang family, the eldest princess of the Beijing circle..."
Qi Tongwei asked Jiang Yao to come to Handong and have a private meeting with him and Gao Yuliang.
He told Zhao Mengsheng the story.
Hear the words.
Zhao Mengsheng smiled meaningfully.
"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions."
"Jiang Yao... Hehe, the once powerful Jiang family has actually been gradually declining over the years."
"In the final analysis, Jiang Yao is simply trying to win you over, or in other words, to tie up the political resources of our Zhao family."
"And once you join her, you become a member of her so-called 'Shadow Blade' organization."
"Then, indirectly, she can control our Zhao family and the Zhong family behind you."
"You were right to reject Jiang Yao!"
"Jiang Yao is ambitious and is definitely a cunning female politician."
"The fact that she has become a high-ranking official in a ministry is enough to show that she is not an easy person to deal with."
"However, you must not know that Jiang Yao and Lu Shouren are political enemies."
"Back then, Lu Shouren schemed against the Jiang family, causing the death of Jiang Yao's father."
"So, Jiang Yao hates Lu Shouren."
Qi Tongwei was a little surprised by what Zhao Mengsheng said.
But soon, he was also thinking about it and said to Zhao Mengsheng.
"Dad, since Jiang Yao and Lu Shouren are political enemies and mortal enemies, then is there a possibility..."
"Jiang Yao has already noticed that Lu Shouren might be a member of the 'Fifth Kingdom'."
"So, she secretly formed the 'Shadow Blade' organization to wipe out the members of the Fifth Kingdom?"
When Zhao Mengsheng heard this, he was extremely shocked.
"Hmm? Your analysis makes sense."
"Well, anyway, at this point, everything we have is based on speculation, and there is no solid evidence."
"Regardless of whether Lu Shouren is a member of the mysterious 'Fifth Kingdom', we are embarrassed by one thing now..."
Qi Tongwei asked doubtfully.
"what's up?"
"Your brother Donglai will hold a wedding with Lu Yike soon. I heard from your grandmother that it will be during the Spring Festival!" Zhao Mengsheng continued.
"But, do you know what the relationship between Lu Yike and Lu Shouren is?"
Qi Tongwei made a "uh" sound and choked.
"Dad, could it be that Lu Shouren is... Lu Yike's father?"
Zhao Mengsheng smiled bitterly helplessly.
"Things are unpredictable, and the big intestines are bound to the small intestines!"
"I really didn't expect that one day, Lu Shouren and I would become...relatives!"
Qi Tongwei was also speechless.
"Dad, this marriage is going to be weird, right?"
"Tell me, once Lu Shouren knows that Lu Yi is married to Donglai, who is from our Zhao family, will he object?"
Zhao Mengsheng smiled faintly, "What does Lu Shouren have to object to?"
"This marriage mainly depends on Lu Yike and Wu Xinyi!"
"Besides, Lu Yike is marrying into our Zhao family. To put it in a snobbish way, she is marrying above her station!"
"Tongwei, I guess you don't know what your grandfather Zhao Shangzhong's official position is, right?"
Qi Tongwei did have doubts in his heart.
However, he had never specifically asked his father or grandmother about his deceased grandfather.
Grandma Wu Shuang was called a "noble lady".
That means his grandfather must be a powerful person.
Qi Tongwei had never thought about how high it was before.
of course.
This time Jiang Yao came to Handong to meet him and Gao Yuliang...
Qi Tongwei also had doubts in his heart...
It is said that the Jiang family behind Jiang Yao is extremely powerful.
Then, Qi Tongwei thought, what about his Zhao family and the Jiang family?
Which one is more powerful?
Since Zhao Mengsheng mentioned his grandfather, he took the opportunity to ask.
"Dad, what is grandpa's official position?"
Zhao Mengsheng said proudly.
"Grand Marshal of the Nation!"
"He crossed grasslands and snow-capped mountains, went to battlefields, killed Japanese devils, and was a veteran of hundreds of battles. He was also the commander of the Korean War."
"So, he is the upright Grand Marshal of the Nation!"
Qi Tongwei was surprised. He thought about it and realized that Jiang Yao's father...
In terms of power, he should be about the same as his grandfather.
Then, the power of the Jiang family and the power of the Zhao family are actually on par.
No wonder...
Jiang Yao's arrival in Handong caused a sensation in the entire political arena, and almost all officials panicked.
They all tried to curry favor with Jiang Yao!
Only Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang did not express anything...
Instead, he asked Jiang Yao to meet him alone...
Obviously.
After hearing what Zhao Mengsheng said, Qi Tongwei finally understood.
It turned out that Jiang Yao's so-called meeting was not about re-employing Qi Tongwei.
To put it bluntly, it was to win over Qi Tongwei, so as to form an alliance between the Zhao family and the Zhong family and bring them under the command of her Jiang family.
Even if he cannot become a capable general under the Jiang family, at least he can form an alliance with them.
Even worse, you don’t even need to be allies, you just need to not be political enemies.
All of this was to consolidate Jiang Yao's Jiang family power.
after all.
When Qi Tongwei heard Zhao Mengsheng say that his grandfather Zhao Shangzhong was the great marshal of the country, he knew that such power was no joke.
After all, it's lonely at the top.
Then, the more we need allies, the more we need them to build walls.
"Dad, I finally understand why Jiang Yao came to Handong and asked to meet me alone!"
Zhao Mengsheng smiled with relief, "Fortunately, we talked on the phone and communicated with each other!"
"Oh, by the way, I heard from your grandma that Yike wants to bring Donglai to meet her father Lu Shouren."
"If you are in Handong, please help Donglai. If it doesn't work, you can accompany Donglai to see Lu Shouren together."
Qi Tongwei said, "Hmm?" for a second, "Dad, is this suitable?"
"Although your concerns are justified, if Lu Shouren creates any problems and makes things difficult for Donglai..."
"But I am Donglai's eldest brother after all. It feels a bit weird to accompany him to meet his father-in-law like this!"
Zhao Mengsheng smiled slightly, "That's nothing, the key issue now is..."
"We need to ensure that your brother Donglai's marriage to Yike goes smoothly."
"As long as they can hold the wedding as promised, nothing else will be a problem."
Qi Tongwei had no choice but to respond.
"Okay, Dad, I got it!"
"After Panpan and I have dealt with the matters at the base, I will go back and discuss it with Donglai."
"Ask for his opinion. If necessary, I will go with him to see Lu Shouren. It's not a big problem!"
Zhao Mengsheng simply said: "Okay!"
The father and son ended the call.
Qi Tongwei was at the base, continuing to discuss matters of the base with Liang Panpan.
then.
Qi Tongwei returned home and contacted Zhao Donglai.
"Donglai, I heard that you and Yike are going to visit your father-in-law?"
"Need a wingman?"
