Xu Le admires Lin Banshan very much, this appreciation is not the kind of admiration and awe that Lin Douhai, the second-generation son of the Seventh Family, looks up to them, but a faint yearning for a certain kind of bearing that he can't have.

When I first saw the man with a mountain of shoulders in the carriage of the Shougang high-speed railway, he was an ordinary technical director of Guoke Company, and the other party had been a legend who had broken out of the door for more than ten years and single-handedly played a piece of the world.

In the years that followed, there were occasional contacts, and he changed from a technical supervisor to a felony of the Federation and then to the successor of the military god, but Lin Banshan was still the same Lin Banshan, and there seemed to be no obvious gap between the two people.

But he had to admit that the man's aura seemed to be naturally generated, and standing there was like a famous river and a mountain, and he only had to look at it from a distance to see his demeanor, which he couldn't learn from a pit stone like himself.

At this time, when he heard the Bermuda rumors relayed by Li Wei, he couldn't help but think of a certain federal rumor that Tai Zhiyuan once said: Before the retirement of the former director of the Charter Bureau, Tai Lao, the most favored candidate was not Cui Judong, who had been an assistant for many years, but Lin Banshan, who had nothing to do with the Charter Bureau in the eyes of outsiders.

Xu Le frowned, squinted his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "It is really not easy for a federal person to wave his sleeves in a foreign land like Bermuda. ”

"Nature is not simple. ”

Li Wei looked at him and said seriously: "Just, no matter how powerful you are, even if you become the prince of the empire, I can treat you as a brother, but like a character like Brother Banshan, even if he wants to treat me as a brother, I don't dare." ”

"He seems to be born impossible to live under people, such as a conference venue, even if he sits quietly in the last row, he can make everyone feel that the last row is the first row. ”

"You have a very high opinion of him and he is very literary. Xu Le said with a smile.

Levi shrugged his shoulders, drank all the wine in front of him, and said with emotion: "Because that person is originally very literary, Bermuda often describes his gaze as dedicated to appreciating beauty in the universe, do you say this sour?"

"But it's really pertinent, all the Bermudians, including the conference giants you saw yesterday, if you let them be honest, they absolutely believe that Lin Banshan is the most suitable job to do, either the Federal President or the Emperor. ”

Xu Le gently held the wine glass, smiled and thought, Is it because of this temperament that Lin Banshan refuses to be the director of such an important charter bureau?

Levi continued to sigh: "But in his opinion, being a president and emperor is the most stupid thing, and there is no interest in serving the country and the people or anything, how can he be comfortable being his underworld king in Bermuda." ”

Xu Le shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own responsibilities. Lin Banshan broke out of the door back then, becoming the rarest rebellion of the Seven Families, and he didn't seem to have any feelings for the family, but he still had to protect the younger brother who didn't make it, and now he still has to go back to the Federation to fight the government for the family. ”

Li Wei smiled, did not continue the topic, and said casually: "Now the son of the eldest brother in the middle of the mountain is still in Gas, and his favorite woman is called Li Feirong, who happens to have the same surname as me, and she wanted to recognize my brother and sister with me a few days ago, but I refused, but do you want to see them?"

Xu Le replied: "No, I came to Bermuda to do business." ”

"Speaking of business, although the armistice agreement has been signed, the old guys in those meetings will definitely not dare to go back in the short term, but what if the federal government directly sends someone over? Even if the charter stipulates death, they can still think of some other way, I don't have the confidence to fight the federal army. ”

A bookish look appeared on Levi's face.

Xu Le admitted that his fears were justified, and that the federal charter clearly stated that the government should not interfere in Bermuda's internal affairs, but the arrival of Descartes, and the mercenaries like the Seven Groups under Muke, showed that these restrictions were nothing more than a thin layer of fiber paper, and had no real binding force.

"I'm here for this. He looked at Levi and said, "After Lin Banshan left Bermuda, the biggest influence on this star field was not the Federation or the Empire, but Xilin. ”

Li Wei vaguely guessed what he meant, frowned and asked: "Over the years, many of Xilin's troops loyal to the Zhong family have been transferred to the front line, and I heard that in terms of strategic materials and weapons, the Capital Star Circle has been controlling the number of inputs. ”

"You should have heard of the Iron Arithmetic. In the past three years, they have been secretly or openly supporting the Xilin Zhong family, it is possible to have money, and the basic equipment of the Xilin Military Region can still be guaranteed, of course, the strength is definitely not as good as when Commander Zhong was alive, but it is not difficult to form a deterrent to Bermuda.

After Levi was silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "It's good. ”

Xu Le asked curiously, "What's really good?"

"It's good to abduct girls, especially to abduct the little princess of the Xilin Zhong family for three years, that's the best thing, just say a word, I dare to be sure that the Xilin Military Region will send troops to support my brother and me. ”

Li Wei shook his head and sighed: "When I was in Wangdu, I saw her, and I was very impressed, that little girl is the first person I have never seen a pirated disc in my life, and she is really worthy of being the little princess of the Xilin Zhong family." ”

He asked very seriously: "I saw her before leaving the hotel, the little girl has grown up and become very beautiful, when are you going to do it?"

It looked serious, but in fact it was shameless, Xu Le glared at him.

Levi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then looked at him really seriously and asked, "At such a tense time, you can't be in Bermuda just to support me, in fact, you shouldn't have known about the crisis I am facing before you came, what do you want to do?"

"There are four things to do this time, except for Xilinna...... ，”

Xu Le frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I want to find a way back for my brothers......"

"The war with the federal government is very dangerous, and if it fails, even if it survives afterwards, those brothers in my team will no longer find any place in the federation, and Bermuda is the only rear, the only way back. ”

Speaking of which, he remembered that when he left the Ink Flower Planet, in order to leave Paul and the two emperors, the spaceship did not fly directly out of the atmosphere and landed at the Imperial Headquarters, Xiong Linquan's face was ugly.

"It is impossible for them to go to the Empire. ”

Xu Le looked at Li Wei and said, "If there is a day, I will entrust Xiong Linquan and these brothers to you, and I hope you can treat them well."

"No problem. Levi replied with a smile: "You know that one of the important reasons why I came to Bermuda is to leave you a way out, and now that you don't need it, it is not a waste to let your brothers use it." ”

Then he added excitedly: "In the future, I will take a group of seven groups of old men to wander on the street, who will dare to provoke me? ”

"Virtue. Xu Le said with a smile: "The fourth reason is that I want to come and see you to see if this oldest friend is still this virtue." ”

Li Wei didn't laugh, he noticed that Xu Le Shao said a reason, and he didn't ask, and said in a deep voice: "You are very much like explaining the aftermath, unlucky." ”

"In the past, in the federal forces, when Shaoli was on a mission, before he went to kill Medellin, there were many times, and I explained the aftermath as I did today, and even wrote two last words. ”

Xu Le smiled and continued: "But I'm still alive now, I left the empire in a boat, passed through the Gary Corridor, avoided the glory of the Charter, came to your territory, and sat in front of you alive, eating and drinking with you. ”

He patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said seriously: "It is really difficult to die if you and me, the smelly and indestructible Donglin Mine Stones, want to die. ”

After a touching hug and goodbye to Paul on the Ink Flower Star, Xu Le and his sister Huai Caoshi had a conversation that no one knew about, in which Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was angry and disappointed, sternly objected to Xu Le's stupid decision to return to the Federation to fight for the lives and deaths of those strangers, and tried to use the most powerful force to turn this opposition into reality.

Xu Le didn't resist, but when Huai Caoshi's fist was about to [za] his head, he said something very similar to the above paragraph, he said it very sincerely, so sincere that he felt that he was a stone that would not die.

But the edges of the white stones in the Donglin Mine will be weathered by time, the stones on the top of Kaqi Peak will collapse very slowly under the stellar light in a vacuum, and the hardest diamonds will be polished into a cheesy appearance of eight hearts and eight arrows, and the women will wear their fingers to show the stubborn and strange appearance of the proud and unrestored stones.

Where in this universe will there be a stone that will exist forever?

At the small square table of the barbecue stall, the brothers who had been reunited after a long absence, no longer repeated those conversations that seemed firm and powerful, but in fact were too complicated and tasteless, they officially began to drink, began to fight together, and when the wine was drunk, they began to recall the bits and pieces of their childhood like old people.

For ordinary men, being in their thirties is in their prime, but for Xu Le and Li Wei, they have experienced a story that ordinary people have never experienced in their lives from the remote and barren Donglin mining area to the prosperous sky.

People are still young and not old, and those times that have only passed away suddenly become extremely distant, and if you don't try to remember, you will be afraid to forget.

Why is the Qingqiu in Hexi Prefecture so beautiful? Why can such green bushes grow on the poor red soil? Why are the stones in the depths of the mine so stinky? So much so that Donglin stones have become synonymous with smelly and hard?

This is all the credit of the Donglin orphans who have been peeing all year round.

The two men who had drunk too much helped each other to leave the barbecue stall, walked into the alley and opened their trouser chains, and began to relieve themselves in broad daylight.

Levi vomited, but he insisted on refusing to admit it, believing that it was because the roast leg of lamb tasted too fishy.

Xu Le also vomited, he never thought about whether he could dissolve alcohol with the true qi in his body, and even if he could, he was reluctant, because what he drank today was not only wine, but of course it was not a hellish loneliness, and he drank and walked past.

It's a sour word, but that's what the two boy-like men at the small square table at the barbecue stand thought at the time. Every time I think of never going back to the time when I was a little boy, what man's chest wouldn't secretly sour?

Singing back, the two of them were in an extremely happy mood, but as soon as they walked into the hotel lobby, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looked at Li Wei, who was drunk with Dong Huang, and did not hide the disgust on his face, frowned and scolded: "Why did you drink like this! I don't know what the situation is now, and I am not cautious." ”

The young man's clothes were simple and noble, hand-sewn, and his family background was obviously extraordinary, and at this moment, Bermuda dared to treat Levi with such an attitude, which was not just not simple to describe.

The drunken Xu Le didn't see the young man's clothes clearly at all, this kid dared to be unkind to Li Wei, his eyebrows had been slowly raised, and when he noticed the next painting, the thick eyebrows suddenly flattened, but his eyes narrowed.

Because he saw the kid in front of him holding Lan's white and delicate little hand.

Bell fireworks' small hands.

(There's nothing jealous about it, although what I wrote is sour, but it's impossible to do that kind of thing, cough cough, three chapters are over, you can let me fart today, and I'll go to lie down again.) ）
