"It's so exciting!"

The little princess of the Xilin Zhong family screamed. At this time, her hands were tightly grasping the pole in front of her, her eyes full of innocence were extremely focused, staring at the picture that passed by quickly, and her black pupils were full of excitement and happiness.

Her watermelon-skinned black hair fluttered and fell in the clear blue sky, like a tender flower that gently opened and closed after rain, and the strands cut the bright light from the sky above her head into countless lines, gathering and spreading out as the high-speed roller coaster swooped down and slowed down through the black hole.

This is the most beautiful late spring in the year of Xianliqin, this is the most famous playground in Qixia Prefecture, and this is the happiest day for people.

Zhong Yanhua had a trip to the playground in her childhood, which made her secretly sad, but today is different from that time, her parents did not charter an empty playground, and the front and back of the roller coaster seats are full of peers screaming in excitement and fear, this rare atmosphere makes the little girl feel very good.

But Xu Le, who was sitting next to her, was in a very bad mood.

He came to Qixia Prefecture, and Commander Zhong and his wife believed that he had enough ability to protect the safety of the little watermelon, so they agreed to his daughter's plea, did not choose to clear the scene, and let her play around like a child of an ordinary family, following Xu Le like crazy.

However, just like last year in the playground under the cliffs of Mugu Manor, the hurricane boat and roller coaster made Xu Le very painful, his face pale, and the taste of absinthe on his brow wrinkled.

-- The world's toughest physical fitness and military literacy seem to have no effect in the face of these children's favorite stimulation programs.

Until he stepped off the roller coaster, he felt that his legs were a little weak, his chest and abdomen were a little annoyed, and he seemed to want to vomit.

"When Li Feng went to Xilin when he was twelve, I took him to the playground, but he was dismissive of these children's favorite things and didn't want to try them at all. ”

But two months later, after his first murder on the front line, he sat overnight, then entered the amusement park early in the morning and rode the roller coaster thirty-eight times in a row. ”

"At that time, everyone in the playground and I rushed over after receiving the news were dumbfounded, but no one expected that this little boy with a green face, when he stepped off the roller coaster, his expression was as silent and quiet as usual, and he only walked up to me and asked for a cigarette. ”

"To this day, I remember that the little guy was clumsy and unskilled in lighting a cigarette, but there was no trembling on his lips and fingers holding a lighter. ”

"So seeing your performance today, I really doubt that you tied with him in Lin Yuan and won the battle at the top of Kaqi Peak, these rumors are not true. ”

Commander Zhong and his wife dressed up as an ordinary couple today, ordinary parents, waiting for the two guys, one big and one small, in the crowd below the roller coaster.

This Mrs. Zhong was holding her daughter's hand, listening to her incessantly chattering excitedly, while Zhong Shouhu looked at Xu Le mockingly, and said the words of blow mercilessly.

Xu Le has been pouring ice water after getting off the roller coaster, in order to calm his fast-beating mood, so that the sweat can be collected earlier. Well, his previous performance was as embarrassing as ever, especially in front of the watermelon, he already felt very embarrassed, and when he heard the mocking words of the big man next to him, he finally couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and retorted coldly:

"It's a psychological problem, not an ability problem. As for Li Feng, Yan is originally a madman, and I am not crazy. ”

Because Xu Le came to Qixia Prefecture, the terrifying Tian Fat Man no longer needed to follow the little watermelon at all times, this person casually found a reason to live his life, so Xu Le took his place, including the position at the table.

For the next lunch, the four of them solved it at the fast food restaurant in the playground, this kind of ordinary arrangement can no longer be ordinary, for a family of three from Xilin, it is obviously a life that has not been in contact for a long time, and both adults and children are very satisfied.

At the dining table, in the noisy sound of fast food restaurants, in the smell of spicy fried food, Commander Zhong, who was dressed in casual clothes, still did not stop taunting Xu Le.

From the roller coaster to the Nebula Award ceremony, which he said had a very emetic effect, to Xu Le's innocent becoming a charge soldier between the two major forces of the Federation, countless cold and indifferent analytical words spewed out from the lips of the Xilin overlord, and Xu Le's face was pale and speechless.

Mrs. Zhong couldn't listen anymore, frowned, like a sister, and protected Xu Le and retorted indifferently.

The willow eyebrows are upside down, and the tiger is lying in wait.

Xu Le has always thought that a big man like Tiger, because he has been fighting against the Imperial people on the border of Xilin for many years, all he thinks about is strategy and conspiracy, and because he has not lived a normal and healthy family life for too long, he will definitely have the same psychological problems as when he faced the amusement facilities, so he didn't care much. It was only when he found out that this person began to point his serious tone at the well-behaved and pitiful little watermelon, and the straight eyebrows finally couldn't help but wrinkle.

"A daughter's family, every day only thinks about playing these boring things, and shouting like crazy, what kind of system does it become?" Commander Zhong looked at his daughter who bowed his head and was silent, and said in a serious tone: "It's just a matter of playing occasionally, think about Li Feng, what was he doing when he was as old as you?"

Xu Le, who was looking down and nibbling on the corn cob like a little girl beside him, couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself why Zhong Laohu always used that little madman as a comparison material, didn't he know that guy was really a madman, or did he hope that his daughter would be so crazy and violent in the future? Or Zhong Laohu had always been disappointed that he had no son, so he subconsciously regarded Madman Li as his son? Then wouldn't he become the son of an old man in Philadelphia?

The quick association finally directly damaged the Xilin Tiger, Xu Le couldn't help laughing, Commander Zhong frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Le raised his head and looked at him, and suddenly thought that his nonsense theory might be true, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed for a while, feeling that it was really a failure for Xiao Zaigua to have such a father.

"I don't have any mouth, I just want to say it, but any excellent and independent girl must have liked to ride a roller coaster when she was a child. ”

He naturally didn't know that his illogical inference from the position of a pure watermelon actually faintly pointed to the other side of the distant universe, and was perfectly confirmed by someone who was excellent or even a genius.

No one here could have thought of this, Commander Zhong and his wife listened to Xu Le's serious and seemingly somewhat angry words, and after being stunned, they couldn't help laughing, and they were really and slightly surprised to find that this young man seemed to really love his daughter.

The four of them are different, the atmosphere is very good, Commander Zhong and his wife did not make Xu Le feel too much of the taste of the federal bigwigs, and there was really a little taste of family dinner.

It's a pity that the feast also has a moment to end, let alone a fast meal. Seven bulletproof military vehicles, under the stunned gaze of the crowd in the playground, drove to the door of the fast food restaurant and picked up the four people inside.

In the back seat of the car, Zhong Yanhua's children's bright eyes began to contain wet mist, she hid her head in her mother's arms, occasionally glanced at her father by the window, and whispered: "Mom, you have to come back soon." ”

"Well, I'll be back as fast as I can. Mrs. Zhong said with a smile.

"Dad, you too. ”; Bu Girl plucked up her courage, looked at her father with a serious expression by the window, and said, "Just like Brother Xu Le said, when you win the last battle for the Federation, I will go back to Xilin to see if you are okay?,,

Commander Zhong's carved hard stone face finally loosened slightly at this moment, how long will it take to win the final battle for the Federation, and how long will it take for his daughter to inherit the family business before he can return to Xilin's hometown?

"Good. He replied.

The commander of the Fourth Military Region of the Federation and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of Xilin, General Zhong Shouhu, finished his debriefing on Parliament Hill in the late spring of the Xianli Qin year, and embarked on the ancient bell horn on the return journey. The Xilin Region, which had just wiped out the Imperial Expeditionary Force, needed him to sit in charge, and the Federation's long-planned strategy of attacking the Changguo mainland required him to cooperate and arrange on the Xilin front.

In the eyes of many news media and political commentators, there is no doubt that only this tiger, who has just shown his genius military talent on the Xilin front, is qualified and powerful to serve as the commander-in-chief.

Unlike the usual return trip, this time his wife, Ms. Ling Yu, the president of the Ancient Bell Company, will also go to Xilin with him, the most famous couple in the Federation chose the ancient bell spaceship converted from a battleship, but now the ship has changed captains.

Mrs. Zhong's return to Xilin was ostensibly a business need, but few people knew that she was going back to her old mansion to deal with the problem of the fluctuating hearts of some of the Zhong family's relatives.

Xu Le didn't know this, he was quietly listening to Commander Zhong's words before leaving, and felt the spring breeze on the tarmac of the military base, which suddenly became a little cold.

"Last night at the residence, I had one last conversation with President Pabur. I promise you, Mr. President, that once the Federation begins to prepare a space passage strategy to attack the empire itself, I will be honored to assume the position of commander-in-chief of the three services. ”

The silver strands in Zhong Shouhu's eyebrows trembled lightly in the wind, and he was silent for a moment before continuing: "But the problem is that there are still many differences between me and Mr. President on the allocation of troops and the allocation of resources, and at the end of the conversation, our differences still cannot be resolved. ”

Xu Le listened silently, the last conversation by the red oil pot in the restaurant, plus some analysis, he knew very well what those differences represented.

The Zhong family is the only family among the seven families that holds military power, and they control the military and economic lifeline of the Xilin Region, so how can the federal government not be vigilant against this force that is really a drama? If it were not for the glory of the charter, perhaps the Xilin Region, which had been shedding blood and sacrificed its life for the federation and was defending a corner of the universe, would have already begun to fight for independence, and in the face of such a political situation, it would be difficult for the government and Xilin to have real trust between them.

President Pabur and his government, with great political wisdom and courage, chose Commander Zhong as the commander-in-chief of this war, but they also had to worry about whether the Xilin side would become bigger, so they would definitely put forward their own solemn demands in terms of resource allocation and the number of troops under the direct control of the Zhong family.

"At this time, there can be no disagreement......",

Xu Le could not have the ability to solve the big problems that had plagued the Federation for countless years, so he could only lower his head and express his feelings.

"In the face of such a powerful opponent as the Empire, there can be no disagreement. “

Zhong Shouhu said expressionlessly: "Cutting my Zhong family's military power, exchanging grassroots affairs officials across regions, and integrating Xilin into the political structure of the Federation, no matter from what point of view, such as the war against the empire, such as the future of the Federation's long-term peace and stability, these measures are absolutely correct, and Mr. President also gave his sincerity, but ...... I still can't say anything. ”

"For thousands of years, the Zhong family has always been the weakest link in the background of the seven families. Because of the long years of war, our relationship with the other six families is very distant and indifferent, and there are some old grudges when developing Donglin, so we have always been the primary target of the government, and the lessons of history are very painful, the Federation can't believe us, and we can't believe the Federation. ”

"So we must do whatever it takes, such as my childhood, such as my daughter's childhood, such as the growth of countless generations of heirs of the Zhong family in the future... It is also necessary to hold the military power firmly in our hands, and only in this way can we have the right to dialogue with the government and ...... Survive. ”

"The Zhong family is not my Zhong family, it is the Zhong family of the Zhong family. ”

The words came to an abrupt end, just like the wind on the tarmac that suddenly stopped at this time, Zhong Shouhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the silent Xu Le with a hint of interest.

He didn't want to convey any information to the Li family in Philadelphia through Xu Le, in fact, over the years, because of his faint displeasure or anger at the old man's Xilin rotation strategy, he didn't even have any personal contact with Philadelphia through Li Feng.

I just wanted to say something to this interesting kid, but Zhong Shouhu didn't understand why he wanted to say it, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that Xu Le may naturally have a certain believable temperament, but this kid is just a guy who doesn't know the sinister world and is blindly brave and righteous, I don't know if there will be a head in the future...... ，

"Fourth, there are young people, and the description of dead fat taro is really accurate. ”

Commander Zhong patted Xu Le's shoulder, leaned over and hugged his well-behaved daughter, turned around and said something to Colonel Laike who stayed behind.

Then he was in front of his wife, smiling and walking towards the battleship.

The transfer ship took off, and the air flow on the tarmac was loud, and Xu Le squinted in the dust and wind to say goodbye, until the battleship turned into a small black spot in the atmosphere.

There was a wind in the spring that was bleak, Xu Le's heart moved slightly, and he gently held the hand of the little watermelon, and at this moment, the phone in his clothes rang.
