9341 Volume 3 Xilin's Journey Chapter 124 Capulet in the Xishan Compound
Magnolia goes to the hospital to visit his family who are forever asleep. Xiong Linquan took the long-distance train home. Liu Jiao went to the hospital to find his sister to re-examine the lingering abdomen, Poison Xiaolong took a transport plane from the First Military Region to Hong Kong, and Da Vinci embarked on the road to Xiao Thirteenth's house to ask for relatives with a nervous face accompanied by Gu Xifeng.
After the welcome ceremony of the federal government, the officers and soldiers of the participating units ushered in a rare vacation, the new 17th Division was disbanded on the spot, and the new and old members of the seventh group had their own things to do, so Xu Le had a rare space and time to be alone.
Half an hour after the dust removal equipment was turned on, he walked to the window with a quick hot lunch box and pushed it open. Looking at the small garden below the apartment and all the familiar but long-lost street scenes, a smile appeared on his face.
The furnishings in the apartment room were no different from before he left. The same goes for Street View. The aunt who sells lunch boxes still has a loud voice, and the teahouse on the corner is still quiet, leading to the slightest change in life on the planet.
There were no gunshots, cannons, shouts, or screams, only beautiful soft music wafting from the next window and the chirping of insects in the park below. There was no pungent smell of liquid explosives, no thick black smoke of gunpowder, no metal bullet casings that could not be avoided under the feet, no blood, rotten corpses and wounded soldiers howling in pain, only the two quiet moons in the night sky and a few clouds slowly brushing the moon's cheeks.
Xu Le's mood couldn't help but be a little confused, the tragic battles that took place on the front line didn't seem to affect the rear at all, and this and there, like the joys and sorrows of many people, were completely unconnected worlds in themselves.
But he had experienced and clearly experienced the great cruelty between life and death, before he realized it himself. The experience on the front line has left a deep mark on the trajectory of his life, those subtle changes that have not yet fermented. It may be clear one day in the future.
Eat the lunch box indiscriminately. After carefully cleaning the room, he sat back comfortably on the imitation leather soft sofa that Bu Yu bought, turned on the TV curtain, and watched the TV series of the flying channel with a relaxed and satisfied expression, with a glass of cheap red wine in his hand. groaning; This is a habit that has been cultivated since I was a teenager, but unfortunately, after the all-metal frenzy was cut off, the fluffy and playful girl with purple hair can no longer be seen on this channel, maybe I will go to Philadelphia to see her in two days?
After a few days. Xu Le talked to the source of the ministry on the phone, but he was not willing to go to Mo Chou. When he saw that lady, he was not happy, and second, he had to admit that he had always been a little afraid of that lady in his heart.
Li Xiaotong is in.
Sanlin United Bank has made a lot of investment in the reconstruction of the four states around the mountains, and a number of plans at the level of 10 billion yuan are being implemented.
Xu Le was happy to see this scene, but if the two of them wanted to get together. You'll have to wait until next week.
The little watermelon was Qixia was busy preparing for the exam, busy getting together with her father, and the little girl begged Xu Le on the phone to play with him, but I don't know why, he felt a little soft and lazy all over his body, and he didn't want to leave the apartment too far.
Subordinate friends are scattered or live their own lives in other places, and Xu Le has no classmates and old relatives in the capital star circle. As for the requests for interviews from certain news media and the banquets of relevant departments, he politely rejected them all.
The next day. He made an appointment with Professor Xiao Shen to go to the Xinghe Cemetery, and in front of Professor Shen's grave, he placed a bouquet of dehydrated packaged yellow flowers from the Fallen Phantom, and then he returned to Wangdu Gongyi again, watching TV day and night. Eating a lunch box, in a daze,,
After three days of the long vacation, the day became as heavy as a few layers of thick ash. This situation lasted until he received a call from someone he thought was busy playing with flowers, and only then did he remember the muffled words of the Minister in the middle of the airport that day, and he was a little surprised to find that it was in the center of the Federation. In addition to this public nest and the gatehouse of Ewha University, the most familiar thing is actually the minister's building in the Xishan compound.
Black cars without any signs drove silently down the street, attracting no one's attention. On both sides of the road are more than 100,000 pots of flowers carefully prepared by the Capital Garden Department to celebrate the victory of the war. From Charter Square to the presidential residence, and then all the way west to the heart of the military, these colorful flowers bloom in the sun and warm breeze. Full bloom
Xu Le withdrew his gaze from the window and couldn't help but shake his head. It is already the spring of the seventieth year of the constitutional calendar. It has been more than four since I left Donglin and came to the capital star circle" The question is that I have once again forgotten the appearance of the New Year, is it that once life becomes tense and exciting, the pace of time will become so hurried?
The black car came to a slow stop
Within ten kilometers of the main street, the most important departments and research institutes of the federal military gathered, and people in military uniforms calmly entered and exited various buildings, only the gate of the Xishan compound was extremely quiet, except for the two armed gendarmes at the door, there was no security measure, but no one in the federation knew how heavily guarded the small compound was.
Strict identity verification, secondary scanning of the federal electronic surveillance network, the gendarmes heard a tick, looked at the feedback results on the handheld scanner, snapped upright, saluted the people in the car, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, please come in." ”
The gendarmes in the Xishan compound and even the monitoring personnel in the central control room are very familiar with this black car and Xu Le in the car, but discipline is discipline. In the past, after Xu Le passed the inspection, he would always chat with the gendarmes for a few small words, but today he obviously did not have this mood, nodded and restarted the car.
The roof of the car was shining with a clear skylight, and there was even a little bit of forest shade trees in the depths of the green, and Xiao Xu Le's eyes narrowed slightly, frowned, and said: "I'm really crazy to bring you into the Xishan compound." ”
Shi Qinghai, who was sitting beside him, flicked the hard brim of his military hat with his fingers, making a snapping sound, and a smile flashed on his handsome and straight face. Said: "Friend, friend, isn't it?"
Xu Le's face was a little ugly, he was able to lead Shi Gongzi into the heavily guarded Xishan compound, I don't know if it was because the gendarmes looked at his face and the inspection was too lax, or because the old thing opened the back door again, but no matter which one it was, his shoulders could feel great pressure.
"Less hippie smiley. He had a headache and said: "You want to live or die, let me take you to the compound, what do you want to do? Life is not Schiller's script, even if you want to meet with Bu Yu, you don't need to go over the balcony." Outside the compound, countless bars and teahouses are open. Small.
"I'm not going to look over the balcony to see my woman and my son. The smile on Shi Qinghai's face gradually faded, and he said calmly: "I want to see Zou Yingxing." ”
Fortunately, Xu Le's nerves were much thicker than ordinary people, so when he heard this, he didn't panic and control the car to crash into the big green tree on the side of the road, but his face also became a little pale, and he whispered angrily: "You are crazy! That's the Minister of Defense, although he looks like one." Scholar, but I can assure you that he had countless guns in his study, and they were all loaded. ”
The door of an independent three-story building in the depths of the compound was open, and as far as the eye could see, the Federal Minister of Defense Ying Xing, dressed in a graying ordinary coat, sat on the sofa like an ordinary person, wearing glasses and was seriously studying some documents on the light curtain.
"Coming?" Minister Zou didn't look up when he heard the footsteps, and greeted him very casually: "Ministry Yuwang will come back from Linhai for a few days. At this time, you are coaxing the children upstairs, you sit first, and today's dinner has your favorite braised bean skin
Xu Le looked at him on the sofa, his back was sweating coldly, his throat was extremely dry, he didn't know how to speak, he admired this low-key defense minister very much, only the officers and soldiers on the front line could really feel what kind of strong support Mr. Minister from the logistics system provided for this victorious military operation.
"Oh, by the way, Bu Qiao is now going to the Third Academy for further study, and I heard that the grades are good. You once taught me this unsuccessful son, and now it seems that it is indeed of some use. ”
Still no answer was heard. Minister Xi raised his head with some confusion, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Xu Le, who was nervous at the door, and the officer beside him, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Bringing a bookkeeper here?"
"Hello, I'm Shi Qinghai, the liaison officer of the Special First Army. Small. Shi Qinghai introduced himself with a smile and said, "The other person you mentioned earlier is me. ”
The minister's frown gradually dissipated, he put his glasses on the coffee table, and looked up at the two young men at the door. His face was calm and full of pressure, and he asked in a slow voice, "I know you, just, and then what?".
Shi Qinghai stood in silence for a long time, took a deep breath, walked to the front of the sofa, bowed one hundred and twenty degrees very seriously and respectfully, his head seemed to touch his knees, and then straightened up and looked ahead, and asked loudly in a sincere tone: "Report to the minister, I am the biological father of Liuhuo." Please allow me to marry Ling Qianjin as a lawful wife
When Shi Qinghai resolutely walked over, Xu Le wanted to grab him, but the outstretched hand slowed down for some reason, but he didn't expect that his best friend, who had seen the minister for the first time, said such words.
He looked at Mr. Minister on the sofa worriedly, very worried about whether he would faint in anger, and even more worried that if the other party didn't faint, Xiao would call a group of special forces to kill himself and Shi Qinghai.
Unexpectedly. The expression on the minister's face did not change, he picked up the glasses on the coffee table, put them on the bridge of his nose, and started again, silent without saying a word.
