Capital.

Hou Yuanwang sat on the floor of his cell, his face withered.

After he failed to assassinate Zhao Chunliang, he was arrested by the people of the Military Commission.

The Military Commission didn't even have a chance to let him escape, and with Hou Yuanwang being arrested, a major earthquake occurred in the entire Northwest Military Region.

After all, the commander of the military region was arrested, which has never happened in the history of China.

Just when Zhao Chunliang was still carrying out reforms in Samba Country, Hou Yuanwang had already been imprisoned, but it was amazing that no one came to interrogate Hou Yuanwang after being locked up in prison for so many days.

It seems that people have forgotten about him.

In front of Hou Yuanwang was an aluminum fast-food box with rice, vegetables, meat, and an apple.

Hou Yuanwang didn't touch these things, in fact, he only maintains a very low energy intake every day, so in the more than a week he was imprisoned, Hou Yuanwang lost more than 20 pounds, from a big fat man to a small fat man.

The thin skin has lost its luster, and the whole person seems to be in his twenties.

In fact, Hou Yuanwang is not not without eating, he is just afraid, maybe if he eats this bite, he will never be able to eat the second bite.

There are many people who want him to die, and of course, there are also people who want him to live.

He knew that the reason why no one had come to interrogate him for so many days was because the upper echelons of the military were playing a game, and the faction to which Hou Yuanwang belonged was trying their best to protect Hou Yuanwang, while the other factions were trying their best to implement all of Hou Yuanwang's charges.

Now Hou Yuanwang has only one crime, that is, murder, and Hou Yuanwang has not admitted any of the other crimes, and no one has asked him to admit it.

Everyone knows that the so-called crime is just a bargaining chip, and how Hou Yuanwang will be dealt with in the end depends on the outcome of the game.

Zhao Chunliang arrived in the capital at noon.

When the plane landed smoothly, the cold wind in the capital blew Zhao Chunliang's somewhat sluggish spirit awake.

Zhao Chunliang walked out of the airport and saw snowflakes floating in the sky.

At this time, it was already a cold winter, and the snow, which was difficult to see in the south and the Samba country, could be seen basically every day in the capital, but Zhao Chunliang seemed to have a feeling of being separated from the world.

Snowflakes floated on the face, cold and cold.

Zhao Chunliang exhaled a hot breath, and the mist solidified in the eyelashes.

Zhao Chunliang's eyelashes are very long, so you can clearly see a string of white ice crystals on the eyelashes.

Jin Fan, who came to pick up the airport, walked behind Zhao Chunliang, draped a mink cloak on Zhao Chunliang's back, and then bowed down and asked, "Where are you going, head of the regiment." ”

"Go to the Prism House." Zhao Chunliang said calmly.

"Yes!"

Prism's home is located on the edge of the second ring road in the capital, in a very ordinary community.

No one in the community, including Prism's wife and children, knows that Prism is serving in a special forces unit called Unit 0001 in the country, and people's perception of Prism is only that this person works in the army, and he is very busy with work, and rarely goes home, and even when he goes home, he rarely contacts his neighbors.

If it weren't for the white cloth hanging in front of Prism's house recently, and the crying of Prism's house could be heard from time to time, people wouldn't know that the neighbor who always kept a straight face had passed away.

That neighbor's name is Dong Canye, which is a very common name, and as for the code name of prism, no one knows about the neighbor.

"Alas, you said this person, it's really too uncertain, I also saw Lao Dong in the middle of the year, I didn't expect that at the end of this year, the person will be gone, I heard that he died to save his comrades when he participated in military exercises, and the army has posthumously awarded the martyrs, although the person died, but it's okay, the Dong family's kid will not worry about his work in the future, and the government will have to arrange it! It's a blessing in disguise. A neighbor stood at the top of the stairs and said to another neighbor.

"That's right, but who wants this kind of blessing, besides, you haven't seen that kid from the Dong family, less than twenty years old, smoking, drinking, and burning his head, and being with a group of gangsters all day long, I heard that he went to Beijing University last year, or the old Dong gave him a relationship to go up, and now I heard that Jingcheng University is going to expel the Dong family boy, just like the Dong family boy, even if the government arranges a job for him, how long can he do it? I heard that Lao Dong left this time, and the kid from the Dong family didn't even come back, making a sin. Another neighbor lamented.

"Speak quietly, if that kid from the Dong family hears it, I have to beat you, but I heard that that kid fights very badly, and no one around here has beaten him! You have to be careful! ”

"Well, let's not talk about it, let's go back to cooking."

"Well, let's go back."

The door of the Dong family was closed, and a few days ago, many people came to visit the Dong family, and even the leaders of the capital also came, these people did not mention the real cause of Prism's death, they just came to mourn, or a large part of them followed the wind.

After all, both the Central Committee and the Military Commission have bigwigs who go to the airport to greet the coffin of the prism.

But there is also time to follow the trend, more than a week has passed, and there are naturally fewer and fewer people, and until now, no one has come.

Prism's wife's name is Xu Li, a middle-aged woman in her forties, and a hint of the past can be vaguely seen on her haggard face.

Twenty years ago, this should be a beauty, but unfortunately the years have covered up the elegance after all, and at this time, this woman's face has nothing but loneliness and desolation.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Li, who was sitting in front of the prism spirit card in a daze, didn't seem to hear anything.

After a long time, there was another knock on the door.

Xu Li came back to her senses, pressed her hands on her thighs, and reluctantly stood up.

A woman in her forties actually gives people a feeling of being in her seventies and eighties.

Xu Li slowly walked to the door and opened the iron door.

You don't need to look at her to know that someone from the government should have come, although no one has come in recent days, but the only people who can come to see her Lao Dong at this time are people from the government, as for relatives or something, they have already come when Lao Dong's coffin was sent back.

Xu Li didn't look at who was outside the iron gate, she turned around after opening the door, and slowly walked to the small chair in front of the spirit tablet.

The chair was very small, the kind of chair that children sit on, and she sat on it like that, hugging her knees, looking at the prismatic spiritual position, silent.

Zhao Chunliang took off the cloak on his body, handed it to Jin Fan on the side, and then patted the clothes on his body, and then walked into Prism's house.

This is a very ordinary house, there are no carved beams and paintings, it is a simple living room, and then several bedrooms.

There is a simple set of black pear wood furniture in the living room, it seems that it should have taken a long time, there are already many gaps on the pear wood, and Zhao Chunliang even saw that there was a knife on one of the chairs.

Zhao Chunliang was a little surprised, as if he had thought of something, then sighed, shook his head, and walked to the spirit seat of the prism.

"Sister-in-law." Zhao Chunliang shouted.

Xu Li didn't speak, and looked directly at the photo of the prism on the spiritual seat.

It was a gray photograph, a photo of Prism in a military uniform, which did not have any rank on it.

According to the rules of Unit 0001, all the soldiers who died in Unit 0001 are not recognized, they are the same as the special forces of many countries, they are nameless when they are born, and they are also nameless after death, their existence is only to protect the country, to protect the people on this land, if their identity is recognized, then many things they have done will cause great trouble to the country, so whenever they die in battle, they will not be recognized.

So there is no military rank visible on the prism photo.

"I came late because of some delays." Zhao Chunliang said, he seemed to be saying to the prism, and he seemed to be saying to Xu Li.

Xu Li also didn't speak, in the past few days, she seemed to have lost her soul.

Zhao Chunliang sighed, walked to the edge of the spiritual seat and took out three incense sticks, lit all the three incense sticks, bowed respectfully in front of the spiritual seat, and then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner.

"If there was no big brother, the person who died more than a week ago would be me." Zhao Chunliang said.

Zhao Chunliang's words made Xu Li's body tremble, and her eyes slowly became focused, and then she saw Xu Li raise her head and look at Zhao Chunliang.

"You mean, Lao Dong sacrificed himself to save you?" Xu Li asked with trembling lips.

"Yes." Zhao Chunliang nodded.

"You return my old Dong's life!!" Xu Li's throat made a sound similar to the roar of an injured animal and rushed towards Zhao Chunliang, grabbing Zhao Chunliang's collar.

Zhao Chunliang stood in place and did not make any movement.

Nangong Fengluan, who was standing behind Zhao Chunliang, turned his head and didn't seem to want to see this scene. Standing farther away, Jin Fan, who was standing at the door, lowered his head, he knew what Zhao Chunliang was doing here this time, so he chose to stay where he was and pretended not to see anything.

"If my death can be exchanged for my eldest brother's life, then I am willing to die." Zhao Chunliang's eyes gradually turned red, and tears filled his eyes.

He can kill thousands of people without changing his face, but when facing his wife in Prism, he can't control his emotions.

Xu Li screamed and shouted frantically, he grabbed several marks on Zhao Chunliang's face, but Zhao Chunliang didn't dodge at all, allowing the other party to vent his hatred and anger on him.

After a long time, Xu Li gasped and sat down on the chair, crying bitterly.

The pain of bereavement, no one who has not experienced it firsthand, will never understand.

The person you love the most has since disappeared from your life, will no longer talk to you, will no longer eat with you, will no longer make you happy, will no longer join hands with you.

Zhao Chunliang had felt such pain deeply, so Zhao Chunliang knew the pain in Xu Li's heart at this time, and this pain made Zhao Chunliang even more painful.
