Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 16, Encounter with Zhao Qiang

The next morning, after practicing with his father in the yard, Wang Li told his father about his discovery yesterday, and his father was also surprised.

It took the father and son a whole morning to move the seven pieces of wood to the small warehouse in the garden. The main reason was that the wood was too heavy, and Wang Li was reluctant to saw them in pieces, so he had to use traditional methods to move the wood bit by bit.

This is because both father and son are martial artists and have great strength to complete these operations. If it were ordinary people, it would take who knows how many people it would take to accomplish it.

After lunch, the father and son continued to clean up the second and third courtyards. They moved all the unused wood and stones to a corner of the garden. The large bluestones and other stones that could still be used were piled in a corner of the second courtyard, reserved for building a house in the future.

The afternoon passed quickly, but they only cleaned up a small part. The father and son agreed to continue tomorrow.

The father and son worked for two days to tidy up the second and third courtyards of the quadrangle. The cleaned second and third courtyards gave people a refreshing feeling, and finally they were no longer like the battlefield in Syria, with waste bricks, stones and wood everywhere.

I have been too busy cleaning the house these days and haven't had time to go to Deshenglou for the relocation banquet. Today I finally finished cleaning up the entire yard except the garden.

So the family of three decided to go to Deshenglou for a big meal at noon today.

When they arrived at the entrance of Desheng Building at noon, his father suddenly exclaimed, and Wang Li looked up and saw an acquaintance.

That person was just about to enter Desheng Building and saw the three of them. This person was Zhao Qiang, who was rescued from the tiger's mouth by the father and son. Zhao Qiang was very surprised to see them and greeted them warmly: "Brother Dali, brother, I finally see you again." After I left that day, I wanted to go back to find you after finishing my urgent business, but because the society was too turbulent at that time, I couldn't go.

After the establishment of the New Dragon Kingdom in Kyoto, I was assigned to work in Kyoto and tried to find you and your son. But I didn't find you. I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's really fate.

Wang Li's father responded enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhao, our family of three has just arrived in Kyoto. Today is the first time we have eaten out, and we met an acquaintance. What a coincidence."

Zhao Qiang said that he had come here with a friend, but since he met them, he asked his friend to go back first, and today he wanted to host a special banquet for the family of three. Wang Li and his family could not refuse, so they had to go into the private room reserved by Zhao Qiang.

As they ate and chatted, Wang Li learned that Zhao Qiang was originally a special agent of the Red Party behind enemy lines. Because of his meritorious service, he was transferred to a district in Kyoto to serve as an officer of the Military Control Commission. Later, he would become the director of the district patrol bureau.

This surprised Wang Li. You have to know that the Kyoto Police District Bureau is at least a department-level unit, and it may be a deputy director-level unit. This should be considered a powerful senior official in the police system.

Wang Li was very happy after hearing the news, and so were his parents, because they finally had official support in Kyoto. Otherwise, as outsiders with no relatives or friends to turn to, they would have been somewhat insecure.

After the banquet, Zhao Qiang repeatedly told them that they could come to him if they encountered any difficulties in the future. After exchanging their residential addresses, both parties went home separately.
