Chapter 52: Three Years
I saw this young woman at the airport a few years ago, when this lady smiled gently, although she naturally exuded natural pride and nobility, but because of a very inconspicuous triviality, she deigned to wait for her thin clothes, and gave her a Xilin Army windbreaker and a small card. Three years later, after only a few phone calls, and then meeting again, the eyebrows and eyes that should have been strange have become familiar because of the heart-wrenching intimacy.
So Xu Le was a little moved, he always thought that it was a trivial matter to take care of the little watermelon on the spaceship that escaped from Donglin, and it was not easy for the head of the Xilin Zhong family to be like this to such a small person at that time, and this kind of kind attitude made him remember it to this day. The dark Xilin Army trench coat had already been riddled with holes in the assassination at the Linhai Gymnasium, but the extremely old card was left behind by him, and finally played the role of a big killer.
"You mean...... Mrs. Tai is still unwilling to let go?" Xu Le asked in confusion as she looked at Mrs. Zhong under the oil painting.
"Probably except for Lin Banshan and the little madman of the Li family, no one in the federation knows what the old man and Mrs. Tai said in Lin Yuan that day. β
Mrs. Zhong sat on the sofa, rested her hands gently in front of her abdomen, looked at Xu Le and said with a smile: "But this is a matter of face, since you can come out of the Allure City safely, it naturally means that Mo Chou Houshan has made concessions in front of the old man." If you have Old Man Li's face, there will be no major problems with your and his safety. What's more, Madame won't do such a trick, after all, with her status and strategic means, it will not be enough to deal with you again. β
Xu Le didn't understand why Mrs. Tai wouldn't deal with herself for the time being, why Xilin was so vigilant, and even played a small trick of tiger ** joint.
"But we will intervene in this matter, even if Mrs. Tai doesn't do anything and just looks on coldly, but if she is allowed to hold the evidence...... Knowing that Xilin broke her arrangement, it was as if the person in my family and I owed her an explanation, a favor. β
"We Xilin people want to owe her this favor. Mrs. Zhong smiled slightly, her smile looked a little helpless, and said, "The favor between the seven families is too great to be easily owed." β
For the Xilin Zhong family, the budget review in the early spring of each year is the most troublesome thing, and the war-torn Xilin region needs the federal management committee to review the aid budget and energy quotas. In the society, Xilin Tiger and his wife never care about the general favors or confessions, but the lady Tai, who is hidden in the mountains, rivers and lakes, can influence many people in the council with long sleeves and light dances For the Zhong family, this kind of favor is too big and too headache.
Xu Le understood this sentence. The forbidden fell silent. I just made a phone call. It should be said that the Xilin Zhong family, who had never known each other and had no friendship, helped him so much. Caused such a big trouble, and was in the middle of it. Even if you want to make amends, you can't do anything.
"I owe you and Commander Zhong a favor. He was not used to whispering in the tone of a federal magnate. It's just like in the old days, as long as he talks about things. I will definitely admit it. This is the so-called promise of a thousand gold.
Zhong Fu has studied the Xu Ledi archives more than once. Know the true nature of this young man. Understand that this sentence seems ordinary. Actually, there is still some weight. couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't think there is any chance of returning the favor to this favor." β
Xu Le's cheeks were slightly hot. Knowing that Mrs. Zhong was not mocking herself. It's about telling a fact. The only family in the Seven Families of the Federation with military power. In the capital star circle, there may still be some scruples. But in the Xilin Region, it is like a soil emperor or a warlord in the separatist territory. What trouble is there for such a family. None of them seem to need to help solve it themselves. If the other party encounters unsolvable trouble. I don't even have any ability to help anything.
"I appreciate your willingness to help me. Although I don't quite understand the specific reason. He looked at Mrs. Zhong sincerely and said.
Madame Zhong looked at him calmly. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Not all help has a hidden purpose. Although I am very optimistic about your future in the army. But before you go to assassinate MedellΓn. There is no such future. There is no need to invest. So. It's not an investment. β
Xu Le listened quietly.
Mrs. Zhong smiled and sighed lightly, her kind and warm face glowed, and she said leisurely: "There are many people who are in awe of the old man behind you, although including me, no one knows the true relationship between you and that old man. But more people are afraid of your methods, and I think that little old man of the Tie Suli family will definitely not dare to face you alone, because ...... Your mind is too dangerous. β
Xu Le thought to himself, he was not a cold-blooded killer.
"But there are also many people who like you, such as Your Excellency the President. Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "Including my tiger, so you don't have any psychological pressure." β
Xu Le thought of the things he had heard, when President Pabur decided to pardon himself, he had encountered countless resistances, but Commander Zhong, who had never been very opposed to President Pabul, was
Having sided with the president and unequivocally supporting the amnesty, the family's gratitude grew even stronger, and they didn't know what to say, so they bowed earnestly and thanked him.
"I and Fireworks are now living in Qixia Prefecture, and it is about to be a holiday for the Autumn Festival, so if you are free, you are welcome to come and visit. Mrs. Zhong said with a smile.
Xu Le was slightly stunned, and the image of a little girl bathed in starlight wearing a white dress and holding a doll naturally appeared in his mind, I haven't seen her for three years, I don't know what the little girl who doesn't like to eat and likes to be a family looks like now.
......
......
The black car drove away from the Liufengpo Club smoothly and silently like a ghost, this is a special car made by the Tai family, and the personnel in charge of safety in the club have long known that the black car with this license plate was given to a friend by his own prince, so he did not check it carefully.
There were two dark green military vehicles in the rear that had been following not far away, Xu Le squinted his eyes and glanced through the rearview light curtain, feeling a little weird, but he didn't give an order to let them leave, after all, he didn't know if Mrs. Tai was willing to stop there, with these brave and warlike experts following, the safety of the two of them was more guaranteed.
Nominally, it was all on leave, but after leaving the training base, the seventh combat group of Whitewater Company was not disbanded, but was divided into two shifts, and followed Xu Le every step of the way, like an agent used by the Secret Service to protect VIPs. Xu Le was very unaccustomed to this arrangement, thinking that the seventh group was about to become Jian Shui'er's bodyguards, why did these people come to protect me? But he understood that this should be from the Ministry of Defense, and even the personal order of the old man in Philadelphia, even if he wanted to get rid of these people, it would be very difficult.
In addition, in the training base and performance, he gradually got along with more than a dozen men in the seventh group, and everyone deliberately avoided the knife he stabbed Magnolia at the wedding, and they were a little accustomed to each other's existence.
The black car drove across the avenue and detoured to Highway No. 2 out of the city, and the group's communication equipment heard the voice of Lan Xiaolong, a military vehicle in the rear: "Everything is normal, there is no tracking." β
Xu Le squinted slightly, it seemed that Mo Chou Houshan had finally admitted the current situation, and at this time, there was no need to worry that Mrs. Tai would catch the proof of Xilin Zhong's involvement in this matter, thinking of this section, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of absolute real happiness and joy appeared on his face, and said: "I'll just say, who cares about a little person like us, Vigo, your courage has become too small now." β
"Those people in the military vehicle are all your men, and they look like real soldiers, and you are not a small person now. β
With an emotionally complicated voice, a pale and thin young man sat in the passenger seat. He looked at the on-board radar system in front of him with a somewhat uneasy expression, carefully touched the equipment in the car, shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen you for three years, it seems that you are doing well in the capital star circle, the club that the lady took me into just now, I have never seen such a violent place when I was in the best time of Donglin." β
Xu Le glanced over at him and found that this best friend from his youth had become much calmer than he had been at the beginning because of a year of prison life and the years of panic and anxiety that followed, only the haggard and tired face that was out of age was as good as ever.
Three years ago, Li Wei was the leader of the orphan gang on Zhonglou Street in Hexi Prefecture, Donglin Region, and he was fighting for turf with the same poor people with electric shock batons made by Xu Le every night, comparing the level of his voice, and yearning for those glorious nightclub girls.
Three years ago, Xu Le was just an apprentice in a repair shop, using the skills taught by his uncle to make weapons for Levi, while tirelessly persuading him to be cautious, be kind to others, and avoid death.
When the two met again three years later, a lot had changed.
......
......
The black car stopped next to a rice cake stall in Wangdu District, and after Xu Le and Li Wei got out of the car, they walked to the side of the stall and asked for some snacks, and then sat down at a small table on the sidewalk. Two dark green military vehicles were parked not far away, and the men of the seven groups did not get out of the car, watching the surrounding environment vigilantly.
When two friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time met again, they didn't know what kind of topic to use to break the silence. After all, the two of them have experienced too many things, especially Xu Le, Li Wei looked at his ordinary face with complicated emotions, looked at the two military vehicles behind him, although he didn't know what Xu Le was doing now, but he could also feel that Xu Le's position had been far away from himself.
"When Qiangzi and I saw you stab those two people to death with the tip of a discarded hydraulic hose on that rainy night when I was a kid, I knew you were going to be awesome in the future. After a moment of silence, Levi, who had not been the leader of orphans for a long time, said: "But I still didn't expect that orphans like ours, who can be seen everywhere in the Eastern Forest District, can be so awesome that we couldn't even imagine it when we were young. β
