Chapter 3 Xilin's Journey Chapter 11 The Old Man Who Left Philadelphia

Whether it is the old man fishing by the snowy mountain lake in Philadelphia, or the lady who drinks afternoon tea in Mochou on the outskirts of the capital, for this federation, they are not ordinary people. The general mentioned here is not the general general.

Over the years, the old man has sat on the shore of the lake and has not come out, naturally not because he wants to deliberately put on this indifferent appearance and show his indifferent fame and fortune to the entire Federation, in fact, the glorious name of the Federation is concentrated in him, he is the military god who is admired by all the people, and the division commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and small soldiers under him are now the generals of the federal military with real power...... Fame and fortune are really like clouds in the sky for this old man in Philadelphia, he once snapped his fingers and knew that it was not vain, but it really didn't mean much.

The same is true of the lady in the back of the mountain, just like the posture of the Seven Masters for thousands of years, she has been standing behind the scenes with a smile and a calm silence, watching the wind and clouds in front of the stage, she knows more things than anyone else, her slender fingers can easily pick up an old story, it may be an unknowable secret in the Federation. The family she controls has been low-key and silent, even when the government and the Seven Great Families were like fire and water many years ago, the Tai family still calmly suppressed all the power hidden in the dark, who knows what kind of power will erupt from the Thousand Generations of the Imperial Dynasty?

Butterflies flap their wings, and a hurricane may spawn on the other side of the sea. The god of war in Philadelphia, the lady of Mochou Houshan, is not a small and weak butterfly, but a great peng soaring above the nine heavens and walking through the light of the stars.

The content of the connection between two big people like this is often not so important, and the time of their contact can reveal some very important signals.

Mrs. Tai walked to the edge of the terrace with a delicate black telephone in her hand, with a polite smile on her face calmly and peacefully, as if she could see the old man on the other end of the phone.

A few years ago, I learned that General Li intended to match the young lady with the son of the Li family, Mrs. Tai made a special trip to Philadelphia and had a meal with the old man, and the two have never met since then.

Mrs. Tai smiled and said something to the phone, then hung up the phone, holding the blue stone surface of the terrace with both hands, looking at the faint lake and mountains in a daze. There are some things she can figure out, some things she can't, she believes that her smiling words on the phone have revealed enough information, but some words seem to have to meet to be able to say thoroughly.

......

......

The god of war is the official title of the federal government. It's not a magical description that people say by word of mouth. Although this old man has been silent for a long time. But no one dared to underestimate his influence over the Confederation. So when some people knew that the Lord of the Army had left Philadelphia. When traveling to the Capital Region. Shocked. Naturally, there is also infinite confusion.

The entrance of the forest garden used to be quietly branched by the road. After the dense trees of spring. Faintly, you can see some of the Secret Service construction sites. The FBI's black official car. It also shows its existence at a junction not far away. More often than not, it is a military vehicle. Heavy military vehicles painted in camouflage and covered in inky green. More than a dozen cars were parked along the roadside at the entrance of Lin Yuan. The air was filled with the smell of slaughter peculiar to the barracks.

The old man never wanted to trouble the federal government. But now that the government knows he's coming. Of course, you have to show enough sincerity and concern. As for the Ministry of Defense and the officers of the First Military Region. It is to lead his own boss to give the most severe orders. The forest garden is enclosed. Be sure to ensure that the old man is not disturbed by idle people.

But they don't seem to need to do these things. Because today's Lin Yuan is a guest.

In the past, he traveled like a shadow through the Federation. It is rare to appear in front of everyone, the owner of the forest garden. Today, he is wearing a dark blue formal suit. Standing at the door of Lin Yuandi with a smile on his face. Polite but cold, he cut off all prying eyes. He even refused the request of Director Brin of the presidential residence to enter the interior.

Lin Banshan. Seven families are the most famous for breaking the door. The top man in the Federation. It's like a doorman today. Shoulders like a mountain. Smiling and standing at the doorway like a doorman. in this federation. can let Lin Banshan watch the doorman. Probably only one.

When he was young, he had met the old man, but he never imagined that the old man would live here when he returned to the capital SAR for the first time in these years, and the sense of accomplishment when he swept the underground world of Bermuda back then was not as good as it is today. He smiled and sent Director Brin out of the door, and then whispered a few words to the distressed logistics director of the First Military Region before closing the door of Lin Yuan tightly.

......

......

In addition to the embroidery house next to the hall, there was not a single guest in the forest garden. Mrs. Tai sandwiched a piece of pale red Tongluo fish raw cut, dipped it in a little rosemary, and steadily sent it to the guna porcelain plate opposite, and said with a smile: "Lin Banshan, this guy is really bold enough, he actually dares to release the news of your coming to the capital, so that those old guys who are already afraid of him like a tiger are only afraid of him by three points." ”

"I like young people who are bold. ”

The old man said with a smile. He had never worn a military uniform since he had ceased to be the generalissimo, and today he was dressed in a very simple civilian dress, with gray hair, and his old and thin body was becoming more and more short because of the way he sat at this time, and compared with the young and burly grandson behind him, the fierceness and sorrow of life were unmistakable, and one could not think of his great military exploits and the earth-shattering act of assassinating the emperor.

Li Feng, who was dressed in a lieutenant colonel uniform, stood behind the old man with his hands very honestly, and there was no trace of madness and violence in his daily life, some were just calm and honest, and he really looked like a boy in adolescence, not the terrifying Li madman, in this world, the only person he was afraid of respect and did not dare to have the slightest rebellion was not his father, but his grandfather, the old and thin old man in front of him.

Mrs. Tai quietly looked at the old age spots on the edge of the old man's eyebrows and eyes in front of her, thinking about the past few decades, watching this once invincible military god grow old, and her mood couldn't help but have some indescribable complicated feelings.

The old man waved his hand casually. Li Feng snapped and saluted, walked out of the bamboo house, and walked out of the gate of the forest garden.

Leaving his grandfather's side, the awe-inspiring and violent meaning that rose to the sky returned to him, and he stared indifferently at the cars outside Lin Yuan, feeling a little annoyed.

Lin Banshan, who had been standing at the door of Lin Yuan, smiled and lit a cigarette and handed it over, but was rejected by Li Feng.

"Lord God of War should come here this time for that guy, right?" Lin Banshan didn't care, and said leisurely behind him: "Crazy Li, it's useless to be annoyed, if even Lord God of War looks down on that kid, you have to do it in this life."

Dry down. ”

......

......

There are only two people left in the embroidery curie, two characters who are qualified to stand in the clouds and watch the destruction and regeneration of the stars. In fact, many years ago, they used to sit across from each other as they do now, discussing many things and deciding many things.

It's just that at that time, there was still a Mr. President and a charter director by their side, but those two partners had died, and there were only two of them left in the world, and it was inevitable that they would be lonely.

"Xiao Feng told me about it, otherwise although I also watch TV news, I don't know that this matter has something to do with my family. The old man looked at Mrs. Tai and said slowly: "Since that little guy named Xu Le has something to do with my family, I always have to pay attention to one or two." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai easily analyzed the cause and effect, lowered her head and said with a smile: "Yuzi, this girl, I have taken her for so many years, but she still hasn't brought her to maturity. ”

I don't know how much low-temperature indifference there is in this exclamation, and this lady will not be stupid enough to pose in front of this old man, she just sighed and said: "Xu Le is not related to your family, but only to him." ”

"Although I don't want to admit it, my younger brother, it seems that in this universe, there is only one descendant like Xu Le. ”

"Descendant, isn't Muzi his daughter?" said Mrs. Tai.

"Muzi is the earth that I brought with me, and now although I have inherited his rebellious energy, she is a girl after all, and she has not even seen her biological father's face, nor has she inherited anything from him, but Xu Le, this little guy, is different......"

The old man's voice was a little light, and he said slowly: "I'm old, he is dead, and it turns out that he still has a student who has inherited most of his abilities. ”

The two brothers, one old and one dead, can't see each other again, the old man's words are very simple, simple and clear, and there is also a sense of sadness. Mrs. Tai listened quietly, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, she gently pressed the silk scarf on it, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly: "What we agreed with the president and director because of his glorious incident of breaking the charter back then, can you forget? He is your own brother, and you have never hesitated in the slightest, why do you have a different view today?"

She sneered slightly: "Is it that people are getting old and their hearts have become softer? Why was your heart so hard back then?"

The old man looked at Mrs. Tai quietly, thinking about the secret meeting of the president's residence that year, thinking of the time when the lady in front of him was just a girl, thinking of the complicated relationship between the Tai family and her younger brother when she became the head of the family, and thinking that her eyes were slightly red at that time to sign the name on behalf of the Tai family, he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, not caring about the rare snarky meaning in her previous words.

Probably only in front of this old man will Mrs. Tai reveal some of her true emotions.

"He's different from this little guy. The old man said slowly in an old voice: "Character determines fate, my younger brother is cold and ruthless by nature, if it weren't for the fact that the Charter Bureau has been tracking him down and suppressing him for decades, who knows how many people would die because of him? ”

"He also made great contributions to the Federation back then. Mrs. Tai looked at the old man in front of her coldly and said, "Determining the safety of the Federation by character, I don't think it's in line with your character." ”

"He can affect the safety of the Federation because he has the ability to break the glory of the Charter, is that little guy so dangerous?"

Mrs. Tai lowered her head and poured a cup of weak tea for the old man, and said slowly: "The federal phone has already determined that Donglin's Xu Le is dead, but he appeared in front of me alive. You should understand what this means. ”

The old man coughed twice, the wrinkles on his face gradually relaxed, and said: "Xu Le's relationship with him, I only learned about it recently, Li Feng has fought with him, but he has never told me. In my opinion, this little guy is just too unlucky, to meet a character like my brother, and was taken into the ditch in a daze, about the chip, maybe he changed for this little guy when the Charter Bureau chased him two years ago......"

"You're getting old after all. Mrs. Tai quietly looked at the wrinkles on the old man's face, and said with a slight mockery like a younger sister: "Where did the Lord of the War God, who had decided to kill his relatives in righteousness and not let the Federation bear the slightest risk, gone?

"Of course. The old man said lightly: "If my younger brother knows something, Xu Le will ...... I will not object to you handing him over to the Charter Bureau. ”

"How do you confirm this?"

"I'll go see him in person. ”

......

......

Perhaps, as Mrs. Tai said with a slight mockery, the federal military god Li Pifu is old after all, when he knew from Li Feng's mouth that the person who assassinated Medellin was actually his student, and seemed to have inherited all his abilities, Gujing Wubo's heart was flooded with a few waves, if he was still alive, maybe this old man would have been as tough as cold iron, but he was dead, and the old man naturally had a little more care for his descendants.

The occasional waves in the heart of the god of war, for the Federation, are the rapid currents hidden under the jasper-like sea. The old man was going to visit the felons in the Allure Military Prison, and the Ministry of Defense hurriedly sent a military plane and advance personnel to busily start arranging everything.

The old man was imprisoned to see Xu Le, which was more far-reaching than the visit of the prince of the Tai family, and the sensation caused was even more amazing.

Xu Le didn't know all this. He was very politely invited out of the single cell by Mr. Warden, bathed and dined like a VIP, and then was taken into the interrogation room, and he was a little confused, but when he saw the thin old man on the other side of the long table, and the madman Li who was standing behind the old man, he immediately judged the true identity of the old man.

The orphan of Donglin is a stone that does not enter oil and salt, but when he saw this legendary big man without psychological preparation, he was still shocked with a slightly pale face, his lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.

The strong mental impact made Xu Le feel a little trance-like. Vaguely he remembered his uncle's disdainful words in the pit many years ago, and the speculation about his uncle's life experience in the past two years, he looked at the federal military god Li Pifu across the table in disbelief, and subconsciously asked in a hoarse voice:

"Old man?"
