Chapter 268: Tomb Exploration (Part II)
In front of my mother, I have to add two words I heard, I have to say that this is a great helplessness and sadness, standing in front of the grave with sparse weeds, Xu Le has no emotion on his face, but he doesn't know what kind of emotion is echoing in his heart.
Before today, he always insisted on seeing himself as a member of Donglin's ordinary happy family, his father was called Xu Shucai, his mother was called Huang Yang, and his sister was the cutest little Xianyi, until he saw this inconspicuous tomb with his own eyes, and looked at the unknown palace concubine who had been sleeping for many years through the thick soil, and suddenly felt a sense of connection that was difficult to sever, Donglin's childhood memories and beautiful family memories are still the same, in addition, there are some other ties.
Zhong Yanhua opened her big eyes, looked at the deserted tomb curiously, after knowing the identity of the person in the tomb, she was a little inexplicable, inexplicable nervous, her hand was as smooth as a white stone in the stream, tightly clutching Xu Le's sleeve, suddenly she raised her head, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Shall we worship?"
Xu Le nodded, Zhong Yanhua bent down, picked up the stones in the grass on the ground and threw them away, then turned around and grabbed his thick, powerful and warm palm, led him to the grave like a child, and slowly knelt down
Because of the excessive dust particles in the atmosphere, the twilight of the Ink Flower Planet is like a piece of metal armor that has been smeared with blood thirty times, and the bright red is full of chilling gray coldness, and the light soaks the grassland from the setting sun and sprinkles on the dense graves, forming a certain stiff and tragic feeling.
General Du Shaoqing, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy of the Federation, stood silently in front of the field cemetery, his hands wearing black lambskin gloves behind his back, his straight military uniform and the Venus on his shoulders, as if made of steel, did not move in the twilight wind.
He looked at the graves of these soldiers who had fallen in a foreign land, his grim expression occasionally showed a hint of exhaustion, and the heroic eyebrows were still straight, like a sword that had just been unsheathed, and only his closest guards could see the silver between the two heroic eyebrows.
Because of some reasons that are not necessarily clear to both sides but echo each other from afar, the intensity of the war on the surface of the Mohua Planet has calmed down for a period of time, especially in the Strait Battle Zone, which is known as a meat grinder, and the humid atmosphere has not been torn by missiles for three consecutive days, and Du Shaoqing, as the supreme commander of the federal front, finally has some time.
"This war has been fought for three years, and if you count from the Xilin counterattack, it has been more than five years. At that time, I took the Seventh Division to conduct military exercises every day, and I must admit that I had a great desire for the war to begin, but now I don't know how long this war will last before we can achieve final victory. ”
"You and I both know that even if the crystal ore of the X galaxy starts to work, with the Federation's current fleet carrying capacity and the number of troops, there is no way to completely defeat the Empire, let alone break into the Tianjing Star and capture their emperor. ”
"But we have to fight. ”
The blood-like twilight leaked from the iron-like sky dome and was reflected on the cheeks of this iron-blooded general, his eyes did not narrow, he looked at the tombs in front of him, and said indifferently: "Even if it is just for the 28,373 Federation soldiers buried in front of us, we must fight it, at least this Ink Flower Planet must become the territory of the Federation." ”
Outside the white fence of the battlefield tomb group, a black federal military mecha is in a state of readiness, the twin-engine channel at the waist of the tall mecha emits a unique humming sound, and the use of turbine technology makes the power performance of this mecha much higher than that of ordinary new-generation mechas, except for the peach miasma of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess and the former Xiaobaihua, it is invincible.
Li Feng, the only one in the federal military who has the ability to control this MXT, was holding a cigarette at the time, standing silently behind Du Shaoqing, listening to what he said before parting, he was not moved, but nodded very slightly, expressing understanding.
According to the tradition of the Union forces, the soldiers who died on the front lines, whether generals or ordinary cooks, are usually buried on the planet where they died, and the place that will prove that they fought and shed their blood is the Federation.
Now that the federal forces are deep in the belly of the empire, Du Shaoqing has no doubt that the Ink Flower Planet must be brought down, so that this planet, which has killed countless Federation youth, will become a part of the Federation, which is also based on this long-inherited iron-blooded concept.
"I've wronged you all these years, because of me, you have to stay in the headquarters as a bodyguard-like role, never leaving my side. ”
Du Shaoqing's eyes fell on Li Feng's epaulettes, looked at the flowers, frowned and said: "With your ability, once you enter the war zone and take charge of yourself, no matter how Chairman Li suppresses, even if you just rely on military merit medals, you can pile up a gold star on your epaulette." ”
Li Feng bent his fingers slightly, flicked the cigarette butt into the distance, his burly and tall body looked extraordinarily calm, and he replied after a moment of silence: "Don't be wronged, when I took over Xu Le from you, I promised this matter, and since he ran away from me, I had to return myself to you." ”
"My mission now is to save your life. ”
He looked at Du Shaoqing's side face full of wind and frost, and said: "Whether you are a division commander or a commander, I don't like you, but I have to admit that the army can't live without you now." ”
After a pause, Li Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of reminiscence: "Of course, if he is still alive, the former enemy commander will definitely do it, and he will definitely do it better than you." ”
"In your mind, Zhong Shouhu has always been a father-like character, so it obviously affects the accuracy of your judgment. ”
Du Shaoqing took his hands behind, looked at the bloody battlefield under the twilight sky, and said calmly: "In this environment, no one can do better than me, even if your grandfather is resurrected. ”
Li Feng was silent for a moment, and strangely did not say anything to mock this seemingly exaggerated and narcissistic statement.
"But one thing you're right about is that if that tiger hadn't died, a lot of things would have been different in this universe, and I would never have been able to become a commander, and the people of Xilin wouldn't have squeezed out just twelve mechanics. ”
The corners of Du Shaoqing's lips curled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was a mocking or self-deprecating smile, and continued: "Even I feel that it is a very pleasant thing to command the troops brought out by that guy, and the high quality of the soldiers of the Xilin Military Region is really embarrassing to the commanders of the other three military regions. ”
"The tiger has no grave, and of course, even if there were, I would not worship him. ”
Du Shaoqing slowly turned to look at Li Feng's eyes, and after staring at it for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought that I might also have a part in the explosion of the ancient bell?"
"I don't know now, but if I find evidence of your involvement, I naturally have my own things to do. Li Feng was silent for a moment and then said: "But now I basically tend that you are not involved in this matter, it has nothing to do with likes and dislikes, it is purely a feeling." ”
"After three years of getting along day and night on the battlefield, being able to gain some trust from you is probably one of the few gains that my Du Shaoqing has gained on this planet. ”
Du Shaoqing put on his military hat, glanced at the white paper scroll that was gently getting rid of in the twilight wind, and asked, "If there is evidence in the future to prove that your father was responsible for the explosion of the ancient bell, what will you do?"
