Philadelphia has superb views.

S1 The northern hemisphere has entered winter, and the area around the university town of Linhai Prefecture has already been covered with wind and snow, and the cold wind has invaded the bones, but this city, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the capital, is still decorated with elegant autumn colors, with a little bleak taste, but it is more clear, and it is difficult for people to sigh after the autumn fruit.

There is a lake gently rippling, steaming and spitting out water vapor to absorb dryness, and there are mountains that rise up strangely, blocking the cold wind in the north and the heavy rain floating from the sea, so this city is warm in winter and cool in summer, and pleasant in spring and autumn, and I can't find the slightest place to blame, just like the old man in the manor by the lake.

The road surface wet by the autumn rain is full of antiquity, between the four-story palace buildings with wooden hooked eaves, countless flowers and trees are hidden in the corner of the alley or facing the street, and on both sides of the avenue that continues to the south of another green hill, there are countless of the most famous self-cultivation halls in Philadelphia, the wooden copper nail doors of these self-cultivation halls are about three meters high, and they are all open during the day, and the tourists walking on the street can clearly hear the shouting sound from inside, the sound of fists and feet breaking the wind, curiously stop to watch, and comment on their heads, those black-eyed and smart boys, I don't know if they will choose to come here for further study in the future。

Xu Le, who was wearing a civilian costume, was also one of these tourists today, and he paid more attention to these self-cultivation halls with different names than the tourists.

Many years ago, during the escape trip from Donglin, Tian Da Bangzi once mentioned to him the Philadelphia Gym, and later he learned that the extremely powerful Tian Da Stick was born in Philadelphia, and he once arrogantly kicked more than a dozen self-cultivation halls in a row, and no one could control it. In addition, the powerful characters he met in the capital star circle, Kong Wu of the Lin family, and Brother Zeng behind Li Lao Qi, all have the background of Philadelphia, a city with excellent scenery, these are like tourist attractions, and I don't know how many powerful characters have been cultivated for the Federation.

This is one of the most violent cities in the Federation, and of course, the most violent deeds in the history of the city is that it contributed a pair of brothers surnamed Li to the Federation. One of them has been incarnated as thousands of people, faintly influencing society in all sorts of absurd and wonderful ways, and the other has become a god, wearing a charter on his back, and indifferently bowing down to the universe to protect the Federation for many years.

Standing on the edge of the wide field of the fountain in the middle of the mountain, Xu Le subconsciously looked back and quietly looked at the huge manor on the shore of the lake at the foot of the mountain.

The Confederate god of war, Li Pifu, lived in that manor, and since the old man had retired, he had returned to the lakeshore and refused to see any visitors, except for a close friend like Mrs. Di, who had never been able to see him even though the former president had visited Philadelphia twice in person.

The old man did not rely on his peerless feats to cultivate all the pride, but wanted to tell everyone in the federation through these details that since he had retired, he was really retiring.

How is this possible, in fact?

The peach tree and plum tree don't need to speak, and the foot of the people will naturally grind a path below, and the statue of the group of five on the charter field doesn't need to speak, but the people walking below will always subconsciously look up, and Li Piff on the lakeside no longer has any opinion on the matter of foot F, but the federal government is always used to call Philadelphia to ask for his opinion before making a major decision.

But Li Pifu was at least able to express his attitude very fully, and the old man was trapped on the shores of the lake of Philadelphia for more than ten years in a way similar to self-imprisonment, and for such a long time, he was forced to leave and go to the capital because of only two things.

One time was that after the attack on the Gu Zhong, the Federation was going to launch a full-scale offensive against the empire, Li Pifu was invited to go, only to show his old and thin face in front of the ceremony and the camera for a moment, which attracted countless people to cheer feverishly and once earlier, for the little guy who was imprisoned in the Allure Military Prison, the old man went to the capital, had a meal with Mrs. Tai in the forest garden, and then went to visit the second prison, and then ...... The Federation has one more invincible young combat hero.

is about to meet the federal military god, but Xu Le is still wandering in the streets and alleys of the mid-mountain, which has nothing to do with his rough nerves, and he does not have the leisure and leisure of an artist to visit the past, but the time that Jian Shuier arranged for him was three o'clock in the afternoon, and he arrived too early.

For an old man who has not seen a guest for many years and dares to let the president sigh, he has no qualifications to knock on the door.

Fortunately, time flies quickly.

Glancing down at the hands on the military watch, Xu Le took a deep breath, ignored the slow stares cast around the stone flat at the main entrance of the manor, and did not let the old thing help him calculate how many secret service agents or the military's most elite security forces were scattered around the manor, and directly stepped up the stone steps, raised his right arm, and knocked on the door calmly.

In the blue courtyard, on the left is a few rows of rice ears with sexy and low-waisted fields filled with the fragrance of autumn fruits, and on the right is a few ponds full of golden carp swimming freely, sandwiched between a crooked path made of white stone slabs, the end of the stone path leads directly to the lake, there are a few piles of stones scattered on the lakeside, I don't know which pile of stones the old man used to sit on to fish, but today he did not fish, but sat on the dark sandalwood floor of the room after a routine nap and waited for a young guest.

"There are still many things in the Federation, there are still many things in the army, and there are still many things on the front line, with your character, you are so anxious to see me, an old man, it seems that this year in the Empire, you should have seen or knew or guessed something. ”

The old man who was half-kneeled on the floor did not look back, and his thin and old body was casually draped in an old old-fashioned pajamas, which made him appear that he was not very tall, and even a little short.

Xu Le stood at the door, looking at the old man's back, but he still felt that it was like an unattainable frozen peak, and his mouth was a little dry subconsciously. Now that he is facing Mr. President, he can be more natural, and he is even more fearless when he sees the master of the Zuotian Star Domain in the empire, with the change of identity and status, anyone's mentality will gradually become stronger, but I don't know why, after a few years, when he saw the military god Li Pifu again, he was still extremely nervous, just like a primary school student was as nervous as a strict head teacher.

He took off his imitation leather boots, carefully arranged them neatly, walked to the floor with his socks on, walked lightly behind the old man, bowed and whispered: "There are indeed many questions, some questions about the past, and there are some other things that I need you to guide me." ”

In the empire, he knows a lot of secrets of the past, involving uncles, and even more involving history, he has always thought that if he can't see history clearly, it will be difficult to grasp the present and the future, not to mention that the present of the federation is facing a very serious situation, he needs the wisdom and incomparable influence of this old man to help him see through the somewhat complicated situation, so he said this very sincerely.

Hearing his words, Li Pifu didn't look back, his thin shoulders trembled slightly, and the old voice said, "Before that, I also have some questions I want to ask you, sit down." ”

Xu Le hurriedly moved his legs and sat next to the old man, with a straight waist, squinting eyes, and extremely standard grooming.

"It's at home, it's not in the army, it doesn't need to be like this. Li Pifu smiled and said: "There is tea on the table, pour it yourself."

Xu Le glanced at it, and found that Lord Junshen didn't seem to mind sitting so close, so he relaxed a little, carefully lifted the teapot from the red stone, and respectfully poured a cup for the old man first, and then poured himself a cup.

"The first question I want to ask is. Li Pifu didn't know what to think about, his words paused slightly, and a faint self-deprecation flashed between his gray eyebrows, Shi, is that guy still alive?" ”

The old man was qualified to laugh at himself, but Xu Le didn't have the courage to laugh at him, and although he had been mentally prepared in advance, he still didn't expect the old man to throw this question straight to the point, so an indescribable nervousness suddenly occupied his body and mind, making his hand holding the teapot handle stiff.

After a long silence, Li Pifu did not use any words to look at him or press him with momentum, just waited quietly, and his wrinkled and old hand did not move at all, holding a small teacup and putting it to his lips, a. Sipping on it.

"Teacher...... Should still be alive. Xu Le stared at the barley tea in the cup, and replied in a hoarse voice: "But he didn't appear in front of me, and ...... I don't think he'll ever come back to the Commonwealth. ”

"The scourge lives for a thousand years. Li Pifu slowly put down the teacup and said expressionlessly: "For many years, many times, I thought he was really dead, but he survived again." ”

"Don't bother to guess why I can guess he's still alive......"

Li Pifu glanced at him and said indifferently: "The last time I saw you in prison, I said that if you can take out the chip, you can go to the empire and pretend to be royal." Now that the war between the two sides has begun, presumably those devices in the empire have all been opened, and you can come back alive, naturally you have taken out the chip, if you don't have this ability, then he is naturally still alive. ”

"I have seen the report you provided to the Charter Bureau and the Ministry of Defense, and it was a miracle, but I think: the Reich...... There are no miracles......"

Cold sweat gradually soaked Xu Le's back, this thin old man looked tired, but in fact, his eyes were still extremely sharp, if he didn't admit that his uncle was still alive before, then he couldn't convince this old man to escape from the empire's pursuit of his own way, and it was tantamount to lying to his face. Although he has passed this hurdle now, the old man's indifferent eyes still give him endless pressure, and he always feels that the old man seems to know more things, but he deliberately does not mention it.

"You've done a great job for the Federation this time, so I don't think there are any subsections that don't need to be discussed. Li Pifu tapped the table with his rich index finger, motioned for him to continue pouring tea, and then asked, "The second question is, is that His Royal Highness Su Hao...... Why didn't I kill you?"

His Royal Highness Su Hao Xu Le was stunned for a moment before he realized that the old man was referring to Huai Caoshi, and one question after another was completely beyond his prior prediction, and some kind of invisible pressure began to permeate the living room on the shore of the lake in Philadelphia, and his black eyebrows, which were as straight as knives, began to bend.

In the face of this pressure, he stubbornly raised his head, looked directly at the federal military god, and said, "Because she can't kill me......"

"And, I met this husband. ”

"I heard that the former master Fan is your teacher?"
