The Bell of the Upper Forest Chapter 218 The Bell and the Wild Bird

Next to the car. Xu Le rubbed the slush on his shoes on the tires. clenched his fists and coughed the collar of the military uniform on both halves of his body and raised it. Block out the cold wind that travels through the streets and alleys.

He took two cigarettes out of the cardboard box. Light one and hold it in your mouth. The other was handed to Magnolia. Magnolia lowered her head. His eyes passed through the slightest black hair and looked at the front of the Ministry of Justice building. Hesitated for a moment. Took the cigarette and held it. but it was not ignited.

The snow that fell from the sky had stopped. The cold wind was still blowing. Dust snow from undisturbed building declinations. Scattered and swirling in the air. The flash lights in front of the Ministry of Justice building flickered rapidly. Shine those snowflakes more holy. It looks like a perfectly designed stage for a concert.

Xu Le took a hard breath of a cigarette. The line of fire instantly burned to the lower edge of the first figure 7. He squinted and looked over there. Although it is not clear what exactly is going on inside. But the TV in the car was already on. It's a live stream of the scene.

The federal government formally suspended the investigation into the Medellín case. The press spokesman for Parliament Hill also expressed regret. Because of the lack of key people and evidence. The hearing was forced to be postponed indefinitely. The Minister of Justice resigned. Congress was furious. President Sieg did not say so. Medellín finally walked out of the Ministry of Justice building.

Outside the building. Congressman Medellín warmly hugged Governor Ross, who came to greet him. Wave warmly to the crowd of thousands of people around you. Looks like a winner. And then the winner. Surrounded by countless people. Walk along the snow-covered streets. Head west towards Parliament Hill.

Xu Le didn't move. He was still standing silently beside the car. Cigarette after cigarette. It wasn't his business anymore. It's just that he put too much effort into it. I always want to watch this absurd drama continue.

Governor Ross politely asked Congressman Medellín to go to the forefront. This old man with a calm face just walked out of the Ministry of Justice building. The expression is calm and resolute. led countless supporters to the bottom of the parliament building. Only the people were full of affectionate attention and enthusiastic applause. And this old man. is like a saint.

The front of the Parliament building has already been prepared. It's windier here. The snow on the roof of the building was blown denser, and there were more flashing lights. More like a stage.

Xu Le looked at it from afar, but he just thought about the stage in the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium. The stage around the mountains and four states.

In front of the Houses of Parliament. The Medellín parliamentarian was accompanied by the governor of Ross and several high-ranking figures. A shocking decision was announced to the entire federation and to his supporters - his decision to withdraw from the general election of the federation.

After the news is published. The reporters at the institute were like crazy. Start connecting with your respective departments. And the supporters who are excited, even a little excited. But I couldn't react for a while. With a look of confusion. Standing in a daze. The loud slogans disappeared. The fist clenched excitedly remained in the air.

Governor Ross stepped forward. He patted the slightly thin shoulder of Congressman Medellín. He bowed his head and said something to the speaker. He said that he fully understands the thoughts of the Medellín parliamentarians. Firmly stand on the side of friends. The decision to withdraw jointly was announced.

"Are you going to give up?" cried out the man sadly.

"You can't make concessions to the government," someone shouted angrily.

Councillor Medellín stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes kindly but firmly began their speech again.

......

......

I can't see what was born in front of the Parliament building, and the car light screen next to me faithfully tells everything that was born there. It reached Xu Le's ears and eyes. He pulled out a puff of his cigarette and burned to the line of fire in his mouth. It has an unbearable burnt smell.

Magnolia glanced at him. Didn't say anything.

Trying to be tried under federal law. But suddenly he walked out of the Ministry of Justice. When he was hit by the Federation to the point that he couldn't hold on. Medellín was still able to rally countless supporters to stand behind him. At this time, he suddenly announced his withdrawal from the general election!

Behind the shocking changes. How many interest swaps and shady transactions are hidden. Xu Le doesn't have to think about it. You can also taste one or two. As the final victor of the Pabur Councillor. No. To be precise, the big names of the Federation represented by the lady. certainly to the security of Medellín and the future position of Governor Ross in the political life of the Federation. Corresponding promises were given.

From the black car next to him came the voice of the Medellín councillor.

"The threat of the Empire is imminent. The Federation needs to be united. As a veteran. I must earnestly ask you here to unite around the Commonwealth. ”

The parliamentarian's speeches were always so heartfelt. Sincere and moving. "After all, the wind and sand of history cannot hide the truth. Several nights in the Ministry of Justice building. It made me think about it for a long time. In the current situation. It is my personal political honor and disgrace that matters. Or is it more important to unite and stabilize the federation?......"

"Today. I announced my withdrawal from the Federal Parliament Hill in front of the Federal Parliament. Not because I'm disappointed in the spirit of the Union. Select Discard. It's because I love this federation. And the love is incomparably deep. ”

Sincere applause rang out.

......

......

"Look at the black hole over there, it's a disgusting bunch of people. Xu lit another cigarette. Try to keep the surface calm as much as possible. But the hoarse voice revealed a few traces of his true emotions.

"When I was reading at the Hexi State Library. Discovered for decades

What is the patriotic saying. There is an invasion of the Empire. People only then remembered that everyone loved the kingdom of the Union. However, now the name of patriotism. But it has become the villain's last refuge. ”

Xu Le didn't want to listen to the parliament = the old man's voice anymore. Although he knew from an early age that there was too much darkness in the society of the Federation. But I really didn't think about it. On the side of these in the capital circle of stars. Something dark can be covered with a cloak of gloss. And then swaggered in the holy white snow.

Turn off the car TV. The black car drove silently across the road to the left of the Houses of Parliament. It only took a few minutes. I came to Charter Square.

In the very middle of Charter Square. The statue of the group of five stands tall. Thin snow accumulated on the heads and shoulders of these former sages. The material of antique bronze is in the snow. It shows a sense of vicissitudes.

Directly in front of this group of huge statues. Placed is a bulky ancient clock, according to the early textbooks of the Federation. This ancient bell kept calling out to Yu on behalf of humans. Countless years ago, when human society appeared in Kamibayashi began. This ancient clock is located here. Until today. I don't know how many years it has been repaired. But the bell never stopped. The date is ringed from time to time in accordance with the federal law. Calm and eternal.

Xu Le is an orphan from Donglin and comes from Zhonglou Street. Looking through the window of the car at the quiet old clock. He thought of the joke about the Fourth District. The sentence that Donglin people are very familiar with is more lonely than fireworks, and the warship that crashed in the Donglin region. The unusually sturdy clock.

It is said that when the Fourth Military Region expanded Donglin. Carried on board. It is a replica of the ancient clock on Charter Square.

"This year's election was so unexpected. Magnolia drove the car. While talking. I didn't use my spare light to measure Xu Le's expression. But this sentence is clearly testing something.

"It's okay with me. I'm just a little person," Xu Le still looked out the window at the square. replied casually.

Magnolia doesn't think that Xu Le is a small person, and I believe that few people in the Federation today will think so. Especially the previous news in front of Capitol Hill. Let Xu Le reveal some emotions. Let him vaguely catch something.

The wild birds in the square are so proud and free that they even dare to on the head of the statue of the group of five. It has already flown to the south of Kezhou and even further south because of the cold weather. The car passed all the way, only the fattened pigeons on the grass were still eating, and the people of the capital did not hesitate to express their love with this little food. But Xu Le didn't have a good impression when he looked at the pigeons that refused to fly away.

This is probably the portrayal of the federal society? Only those who can't fly or don't want to fly can stay. Those homes that dare to on the heads of the big guys. Only to leave.

"I'm actually a wild thing who wants to on top of the big guys. Xu Le thought so in his heart. He sighed softly.

......

......

Because of delays on the road. It was late when I arrived at WhiteWater in the suburbs. However, under the personal leadership of the assistant president. Xu Le and Magnolia still walked directly into the audit room.

This is the business of the security decision-making department. The 7th Combat Group, although nominally part of this sector. But WhiteWater knows it from top to bottom. At that time, this combat group was engaged in top-secret and dangerous business. Xu Le didn't understand. Why the seventh group was chosen as bodyguards.

Until I saw the middle-aged woman named Sister Tong. He understood something. thought of the purple-haired little girl behind Sister Tong. Not sure why. He has been feeling a little helpless and sad these days. Suddenly it got a lot better.

In the following individual conversation. Xu Le said to Sister Tong very seriously: "If you are willing to choose a security team. Mainly against me. I must tell you very sincerely. I didn't know I was going to be in the Capital Circle for a long time. Maybe I'll be leaving in two days. ”

"It's not hidden at all. You should know very well what happened to Miss during the year. Although I think we have the ability to guarantee the safety of the young lady. But the lady herself was resistant to certain arrangements. "Sister Tong didn't explain what a certain arrangement was. said directly to Xu Le: "Miss trusts your ability. That's why I agreed to the plan of WhiteWater's safety planning department. ”

"But I'll probably leave right away. Xu Le lowered his head. I think of the scene in front of the previous parliament hill. After a moment of silence, he said, "Maybe we have to do something." But either way. I couldn't stay long. ”

"It's a long-term collaboration. Unless you're not coming back. Sister Tong looked at him flatly. From that assassination year ago. All the way to the back to know those insider stories. She had absolute confidence in the strength of the young man in front of her. Leave the safety of the young lady to him. It was a good decision.

"There's a real chance I won't go back. Xu Le raised his head and smiled.

"Miss, let me remind you. You once owed her a life. Sister Tong said.

......

......

(I agree with a certain book friend's statement that Comrade Jian Shuier is a disaster star.) Xu Le and her story will not unfold. At least not yet. Now there are more important things to do. Bells and wild birds. Finally wild. There's still a plot to come. Tomorrow I'll have 5,000 words of new ones. Gear up. The new time may be late. Everyone, look good. ）
