Chapter 85: The Philadelphia Story (3)
"The same story, told from different people's mouths, will naturally have a completely different plot structure and bloody construction, and the most secretive and in fact the most far-reaching story at the end of the Thirty-six Constitutional Calendar is not immune to vulgarity in this regard.
-- Fan Fan, a master from Emperor Re, came to the Federation on a spaceship at the same time as or even earlier on the Federation's research spaceship, thus pulling out countless magnificent, bloody, chaotic, tearful, and nervous laughter.
The genius master called Hua Jieyu Fan One of the genius students Feng Yu, of course, he should not be called Feng Yu, and he has never mentioned these things to the ignorant apprentice at the edge of the mine, but Xu Le once heard Huai Cao's poems mention some memory fragments, and the white-clothed bare-legged literary fan also told this story, whether it is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess or Master Fan, the angle chosen when telling this story is naturally completely different from today's protagonist.
The following is the story told by the former master of the empire, Fan Hua Jieyu, the most famous student, the man hated most by the empire, and the most irreplaceable military god of the Federation, Li Pifu:
We were all very young at the time, and we didn't know from which starry sky that the black-haired and black-eyed young man who wasn't much older than us had fallen from, but we knew that he had taught us something wonderful, and then we knew that he was an Imperial.
What is an empire? When was the Federation's research ship bombarded to pieces by the guns of the Imperial warships, because of political needs, it was not understood by us at that time, and even if we did, it was impossible for us to have too many family feuds and national hatred when we were still young.
Being too young is not an excuse, just a fact.
Speaking of which, I have to mention another student of the teacher, he is my brother, your teacher, you are used to calling him uncle, but it should be clear that he has many identities. In fact, just like me, the three characters Li Pifu, who is about to be engraved on the tombstone for consumption, his name is not very important, and I, like when I was young, always call him Li Yu.
After talking about Li Yu, let's go back to this Eastern Dynasty is a bit old, and I feel that it is a bit vague for a long time.
In his opinion, our teacher was a pacifist traveler who had just taken an unbelievable trip to the stars out of curiosity.
I admit curiosity, but not pacifism, especially when many years later I know that the so-called seed plan turned out to come out of his brain.
I don't know how many years my teacher traveled around the Commonwealth, how many places he went, how many people he met, why he ended up in that Philadelphia wildlife refuge, and taught us two brothers for so many years, I only know that life was really good in those years, and I even forgot that he was an Empire.
However, the war finally broke out, and the teacher took us to the empire in a spaceship, where we spent another wonderful time.
In fact, I have to admit that in the future battlefield, the 17th Division can achieve more results than other federal troops, and it must be attributed to this, I have been to the Empire, I know the Empire, and my teacher has taught me many things in the Empire.
There is another thing that must also be admitted, in the future federation, Li Yu was able to finally develop the blue light meter that the teacher took the lead in putting forward ideas, and until the end, Ran successfully used the spaceship benchmark chip to successfully manufacture the camouflage chip, which is also inseparable from the teacher's teachings.
But we are Federals.
The Federation and the Empire are at war, we are orphans in the Empire, or we are orphans in the Empire, and we are also orphans wandering in the universe, I don't like wandering, I don't like the Empire.
When you've spent time in the Federation and the Empire, you should know which side is more suitable for human life.
But my brother is different, he can't find his own home, that ideal place that doesn't exist, he hates the charter watching his every move, he hates the families that hide behind the history of the Union, he is too conceited and even a little narcissistic, he thinks he can change that.
He's a genius, he's solved all the problems that the teachers haven't been able to solve, he doesn't need to assume the identity of the Bermuda returnee anymore, he can play whatever role he wants.
However, the conflict did not intensify at that time, because it was only a difference in philosophy, and it did not involve such a really important thing as life and death.
Schiller once said that except for life and death, everything else in the world is idle matter, and I lived eighty-eight years before I gradually understood the true meaning of this sentence.
The story becomes intense, and it is also a story of life and death.
Where should we start with the story of this story?
It should start with my return to the Federation.
As mentioned earlier, I am a member of the Federation, and the Federation is fighting against the Empire, what choice should the Federation people make at noon?
The precious Fuli hot spring water that is drawn down from the foothills of Philadelphia flows slowly through the rice paddy fish pond along the natural water pipe made of old bamboo, through the blue-walled stone courtyard, creeping in from the corner of the eaves, and then flowing into the rough stone pool of about seven or eight square meters. The heat flowed slowly like a white dragon, steaming from all directions, blurring the vision of Yingying's room, just like many years ago, the so-called truth was qualified to enter this manor on the lakeside of Philadelphia There are very few people, and there are probably only the lady in Mochou Houshan over the years, but that lady must have taken off her clothes and bathed naked, so thinking that she was the only person who had the honor to enter this pool for many years, Xu Le began to feel a little nervous, as a member of the Federation, what an honor it would be to be able to soak in a spring with Lord Warlord.
The ordinary Jun Zai green towel was tightly tied to his right hand, rubbing a little white foam, Xu Le held the old man's thin shoulder with one hand, and wiped the old back in front of him steadily and vigorously with his right hand, wrinkled and lackluster skin, the previous tension and glory faded, looking at the emaciated old body in front of him, for some reason, he felt extremely sour.
"I'm also a Federal. ”
After hearing the old man's question, Xu Le lowered his head and thought for a moment, stretched his right hand into the slightly hot spring and swung it, continued to wipe the old man's back vigorously, and replied seriously: "In that case, of course, you should choose to join the army to resist the invasion." ”
**Li Pifu, who is soaked in milk soup, no longer has the heroic image of the military god in the federal propaganda film at this moment, just an ordinary shriveled old man, his silver hair is wet and tangled in one place, and he looks even more embarrassed.
The old man coughed in pain a few times, then continued in a hoarse voice:
"That's what I thought at the time. ”
In fact, the story after that began was a bit lackluster in the first few decades, do you understand these four words? It's probably a condensed version of the proverb of the Federation, and I am used to saying this, because the teacher taught the emperor Chinese back then, there are similar words in a similar context, and when it comes to the teacher, because in the following decades, the teacher, no, the imperial master Fan Hua Jieyu, he has been helping the two emperors of the empire invade the Federation, and there is not much I can do, I joined the army, starting from the ordinary soldier of the 17th Mechanic Division, squad leader, platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, all the way to the division commander...... ,
The fact that I have never held a deputy position sometimes makes me feel proud in the barracks, but sometimes the thought that this kind of proud capital is nothing more than what an empire has taught me, and pride often turns into ridicule.
So I worked harder, or more desperately, on the front, on the battlefield, in the rear, in my dealings with those politicians, I restrained all my shortcomings, concealed all my loopholes, just for the sake of a high position, to have more power, to completely drive out that kind of ridicule.
The situation in the Confederation at that time was dangerous.
Very dangerous.
In Xilin, in the Imperial Star Field, I also encountered a lot of dangers, and then I did the most dangerous thing, that is, at the critical moment of the great rout, I fought back like a madman and killed the Emperor.
Xu Le, you have also been crazy, you know that this kind of thing is often just luck.
I was lucky.
I've fought a lot of battles in the army, my mates have died a lot, and I think the Commonwealth has paid a lot, but it's completely incomparable.
It seems that I, Li Pifu, have done this one thing in my life to kill the emperor.
It's really boring.
"No one has ever dared to think that "Blade Thousand Miles assassinated the Emperor...... It's just a very boring thing. Xu Le lowered his head and held the old man's back, and muttered in a low voice with great disapproval: "If this is also boring, can you make me boring a few more times?"
"Little one, killing people is just a means. Li Pifu smiled hoarsely and happily: "What human beings need is often only the result......
"Of course, it was a good result, it was a matter of luck......
"But on the other hand, it wasn't very lucky. ”
"Because when I was red-eyed, forgetting life and death, forgetting the flying ballistics around the mecha, those screaming imperial mechas, and forgetting that my name was Li Pifu, I only knew that I had smashed the middle-aged man under the banner of the black animal flower into minced meat, and I didn't notice that the imperial master Fan was also by his side. ”
"His name was Hua Jieyu, and he was my teacher, and he taught me a strange skill of trembling, and I used it to kill him many years later. ”
"My teacher was a very beautiful dark-haired man, with eyes that turned faster than the stars, but at the last moment, the moment before he died, the eyes that looked at me through the curtain of light, were not at all. ”
In the pool full of hot mist, the military god Li Pifu slowly told the story of the murderer, although the words were as calm as usual, the thin body suddenly stiffened, and the surface of the hot spring water infested by faint ripples instantly became calm.
Xu Le's right hand was wiping his back for him, and he also froze.
