Chapter 118: I Don't Want to Build a Statue (Part II)
In the day, all the people of the Federation, especially the men of the Federation, especially the men of the Federation, all the people of the Empire, especially the men of the Federation, who have a certain combat effectiveness, are all stupid or useless beasts full of local flavor, because of the similar reasons that are recounted in reverse, so it is easy to imagine that the welcome ceremony on the tarmac of the Changfeng Military Base, under the jubilant warmth on the surface, there are actually too many swords and swords and the most complicated swear words and greetings.
Although the Imperial man who stepped off the battleship heard about some kind of underground resistance organization and fought with the imperial royal army for hundreds of years, he was from the Empire after all. This reason was enough to make the Federation people on the tarmac feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, and even if they were hidden, their expressions and movements were uncontrollably stiffened.
"Don't fight, at least in front of journalists, don't fight. ”
Xu Le whispered to the commander of the mobile brigade beside him, who was eager to try, with an excited and bloodthirsty face. There was no expression on his face, and his tone was not very strong, but after the brigade commander was stunned, he immediately became a lot more honest, as the commander of the army who was most loyal to the Zhong family's old mansion, he must now show absolute obedience to Xu Le, because the other party is the guardian of his little princess.
"We're not here to fight
Mr. Mu En, the Imperial underworld master from Tianjingxing, accepted the flowers sent by the beautiful little girl with a smile on his face, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead very unaccustomedly, and said to Xu Le in a low voice: "And I am not used to this kind of scene either
I didn't expect your federal language to be good Xu Le shrugged his shoulders and said: "Since your organization elected you to be the negotiator, the procedures that should be followed, such as the welcome ceremony or something, you can learn to endure it." ”
"My federal language is not as good as your imperial Chinese. Speaking of which, I always thought that your aristocratic tone was too upright, a bit like those nobles in the palace. Mu En laughed, grabbed Xu Le's shoulders without seeing it, and strode towards the red carpet, facing the enthusiastic flashing lights of the news reporters. Keep waving his arms.
"I'm only good at smuggling lines and casinos, and the organization asked me to be a negotiator because I'm already on the Royal Intelligence Service anyway. Not afraid of exposure. In addition, in order to show our sincerity, I originally planned to invite Comrade Qi Dabing to come, but I was worried that the two of you would have to fight again as soon as they met. ”
"Qi Dabing has taken over?"
The meeting of the Provisional Delegates was held three months later, and now he is learning to familiarize himself with the work.
"For the future leader of the underground resistance, how can I swing my fist at him?" Xu Le said without sincerity, and then looked at Mu En's neck with the precious fur of Mizuzawa, and whispered: "If it's hot, don't you need to hug me so tightly?"
Mr. Mu En didn't seem to hear Xu Le's words at all. With a sincere smile on his face, he hugged Xu Le's shoulders tightly, showing the federal reporters his enthusiasm and his very good personal relationship with Colonel Xu Le.
There were flashes of light in the photo area, and even the dazzling light in the blue sky above his head dimmed, Xu Le squinted his eyes, and suddenly a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he whispered: "I know what you are thinking, and I know what you need, but there is one thing I must inform you."
"What's the matter?" Mr. Wood looked ahead. forcibly forget the underworld aura in his bones, and wave his arms at an even speed like a politician.
"I've lost ground. Xu Le also looked ahead, smiled and said: "Some powerful big man Shi Xuan may destroy me, and I came to Xilin to see you, which is also the result of being purged by the government." ”
Mu En stiffened as he held his arm, and after a moment, he laughed, patted Xu Le's back hard, and said in a deep voice, "It's better to lose momentum." Then we can simply drink two glasses.
"I can hear the cry in your heart. Xu Le scoffed.
Mr. Muen shrugged his shoulders slightly, smiled and said, "Leader Wise is optimistic about you, and I am also optimistic about you. You'll get up, more on track. Through the information from Bermuda, the organization confirmed that you are the successor of the military god Li Pifu, so we don't have to worry about anything. ”
"Looks like you haven't received the latest whisper
"What?"
"The old man of the god of war is seriously ill. ”
It was shocking news, and Benn looked at him with a frown. said, "Then you are still here?"
The clear sunlight fell through the sparse large-leaved maples. This Xilin specialty of the large-leaved maple has sharp edges, so although the leaves are sparse, it still cuts the sunlight into countless strange shadows, and those flickering spots of light between the shadows cover the grassy slopes and the woodland in the back garden of the base.
Xu Le lay on the grass, squinting at the magical spots of light in the clear blue sky, and fell into a long silence, and the orderly soldiers in the distance cast puzzled eyes, probably not understanding why he, the plenipotentiary representative of the government, threw those members of the Imperial Resistance delegation into the hotel, and no longer cared about it, but sneaked to the rear of the base alone to be in a daze.
There is nothing more important than negotiation, is it a matter of ten initiatives to be in a daze. Obviously, Xu Le didn't think so, because he was very worried all the time: I don't know if it was the light spot that burned the retina, or for some other reason, there were crystal water marks in his squinted eyes. A trace slid down the corner of his right eye.
On the red carpet of the welcome ceremony, in the cheerful sound of military music, and under the excitement of the news reporters, a line of white light appeared in Xu Le's left eye pupil. One of the friendly memoranda with the federal central computer was that the old stuff was not allowed to enter his brain without permission. But today's matter is a special condition that he said in advance, and the silent character is:
Citizen number: Fierce Pus, "Li Pifu." The information node is interrupted and declared dead.
Seeing the words in the pupil of his left eye, the sun was shining and the gongs and drums were noisy, but he felt that his body was extremely cold, and the muscles in his back subconsciously tightened.
Except for the people in the Philadelphia room who were saluting, in the entire universe, Xu Le should be the first to know the news, and he couldn't tell anyone else, nor could he reveal his truest emotions, so he left the base attached hotel in silence and came to the grass under the large-leaf maple forest in a daze.
It was a strange feeling, he knew something that was bound to shake the universe, but he couldn't tell others about his shock and sadness. This is Xilin Sunset State, and the Xilin military and civilians respect themselves, but after all, they are not their own people like the seventh group. He had no one to talk to. This is probably the so-called helplessness.
Picked up the military encrypted phone and dialed a phone number, after a long wait, Xu Le was a little surprised to find that the phone was connected, and the microphone was full of music, warm and charming, and extremely noisy.
"Hey!Stone, I heard that you were assigned to Xilin, why did you think of calling me? . Shi Qinghai, who had obviously drunk too much, shouted loudly on the other end of the phone, and then a woman's exaggerated shrill laugh rang out.
"I've called you many times just to remind you that you don't have to look into that matter yourself. This is a very serious warning, and you***" Xu Le thought about it, and finally swallowed back the meaning of the swear words and inquiries, looked at the clear blue sky above his head, and said with a calm smile: "Are you okay now?"
Very good, Shi Qinghai laughed and said, "What are you doing so nervously? By the way, I always feel that your mood is a little wrong, your voice is slippery, what happened?"
"Nothing. ”
Xu Le sat up on the grass, took out the deflated cigarette case from his trouser pocket, took out a Sanqi brand cigarette, stared at the cigarette roll and carefully sorted it out for a long time, until the cigarette finally could barely stand between his fingers, and then he was satisfied with the cigarette to his mouth and lit it.
This was a long period of silence, but Shi Qinghai on the other end of the phone did not urge, but waited patiently.
He puffed out the full, spicy smoke from his lungs and paused for a moment. Xu Le said slowly into the microphone: "Someone died. ”
On the other end of the line was a dimly lit nightclub filled with the smell of liquor and soft drugs.
Shi Qinghai hung up the phone and was silent for a moment. Then he picked up the amber liquid in the glass, smiled charmingly at the lady beside him with slightly square eyebrows, and said, "Prison work is always so boring?"
"Are you interested in my work? The lady looked at him curiously, then rubbed her hands a little uneasily, and explained with a far-fetched smile: "I always thought that no one would be interested in female prison guards, after all, we deal with some vicious criminals every day, and life is really not interesting
"What an archaic view. Shi Qinghai drank all the spirits in the cup.
"It seems that our time has never really changed. The lady who worked from Zhuo Prison took a sip of wine with some sadness, looked at him with concern, and said, "Don't drink too quickly. ”
This cup should be drunk Shi Qinghai gently turned the empty wine glass in his hand, and replied with some distraction: "Because, an era is over."
"I know that the front-line troops need the cooperation of these Imperials, so they can make concessions on the import of arms. My attitude is very good, as evidenced by the photos on the Xilin Military Observation published yesterday. The question now is not what to do with the negotiations, but why I have to stay and negotiate."
The Ministry of Defense arranged a special large office for Xu Le at the famous Venus Hotel in Sunset State. Look out the window on the beautiful silvery beach. Today, however, he looked out the window at the blue sea and blue sky. But the mood can't rise to the sky, thinking of what those people have done, I can't help but be angry.
"Mr. Minister, if the funeral is scheduled for next month, then there is no reason why I should not rush back to attend it, and I should stay in Xilin? If I'm not satisfied with this explanation, I don't think anyone will be able to stop me from going back to the old man's funeral. (Chapter 3 is around five o'clock.) (To be continued)
