President Pabble did not promise Xu Le anything. Although he personally declared that Xu Le was a shameful federal hero, he could not let Xu Le speak out. The amnesty is not a trivial matter, not to mention that the target of the amnesty is the intelligence personnel of the anti-government army. Mr. President must consider the political risks that this matter may bring.
In another office in the presidential residence, Xu Le kept his head down and signed legal documents. Federal law allows the president to grant amnesty, but the relevant legal procedures are extremely complicated. Although the Department of Defense's Internal Affairs Office has full authority to represent him in these legal procedures, the final signature verification is also a lot of work.
After signing the legal documents with a thickness of more than ten centimeters, he was taken to another office, where two thin documents were placed on the smooth, black tabletop.
Admiral Miles sat beside him, smoking a rough tobacco, and several Defense Department officers were waiting for him.
Xu Le knew that only after signing these two documents could he truly be free. He stepped forward and read the two thin documents carefully, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After the prison conversation, he thought that the military god Lipif had already seen through all his details. The reason why the military supported the president to pardon him was because the military needed its own special abilities to enter the empire to be a spy and act as a spy in this magnificent cosmic war. the death squad.
However, he did not expect that these two documents did not contain this content, but only asked himself to give up some related rights and accept any orders from the federal military at any time.
Perhaps this clause has hidden that meaning? He squinted at the document and thought, after signing this document, he will become a lifelong Union soldier, not only must he obey military orders to the death like a soldier, but he may even be arranged to do some very strange things.
He didn't think it was unfair. The seven hundred and thirteen years of fixed-term imprisonment were wiped out by Mr. President. On the contrary, he felt that such conditions were too generous.
"You have a one-month vacation, and then report to the Ministry of Defense. As for who to report to, you know yourself." Admiral Miles put down the tobacco in his hand and said, "I don't know why the division commander appreciates you so much, but I I didn't want to watch you die, sign the documents, and leave quickly."
"What about Shi Qinghai?" Xu Le still insisted on this question, and said seriously, "Even if I sign the documents, I may not perform my duties."
"If you don't perform your duties, the amnesty will be automatically cancelled, and you will be imprisoned in Fox Fortress for seven hundred and thirteen years." Admiral Miles stared into his eyes like an eagle.
"I'm not afraid of closing." Xu Le smiled bitterly, and then began to write.
After signing the thin document similar to the contract of prostitution, it was obvious that both Admiral Miles and the officers of the Ministry of Defense were all relieved at the same time.
As the number one figure in the federal military, whether it is to award Xu Le an honor, to grant an amnesty, or to sign a document at this time, Admiral Miles should not appear at all, but this is the task that his teacher personally explained on the phone, and it is impossible to do so. He was not careful.
"Boy, you are free, and you will never be free again."
The officers of the Ministry of Defense held the documents with solemn expressions and walked out of the office. Admiral Miles said in a deep voice as he walked out the door.
At the door of the presidential residence, Admiral Miles left first. He actually made a special trip from the First Military Region to the Capital Territory for Xu Le's business.
Xu Le stood alone by the grass at the entrance of the presidential residence, looking up at the sun in the sky, smelling the faint green fragrance of the newly cut grass branches, a little unclear.
After a while, he took off the medal on his chest, put it in his pocket, and walked outside the mansion. The Secret Service agents in black suits all around did not know that this young soldier was the terrorist who had injured many colleagues in the S2 Foundation building half a year ago.
Oh, he has no luggage on his back, no keys, no wallet, no bank cards, he has nothing but a medal. He was standing at the door of the presidential residence. People who came and went didn't know him. He didn't know where he was going because he didn't even have the money to take the subway.
Xu Le looked up at the sky, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, whether to find a way to contact Tai Zhiyuan or Zou Yu first. The question is, do I still have to walk into the official residence and borrow a phone from Mr. President
At this moment, an unmarked black car slowly drove over, and the pass attached to the window made the security officers around the mansion have no emotional reaction.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Tai Zhiyuan's pale and thin face, he said with a smile, "Lost?"
"Well, a little bit." Xu Le laughed happily and opened the car door.
Tai Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "You drive."
Xu Le was slightly startled, got into the familiar driver's seat, gently stroked the tactile steering wheel, and looked at the display window of the miniature radar on the car computer, only to realize that it was his own car.
"Where are you going?" Tai Zhiyuan asked today, wearing a military uniform, leaning against the car window.
"I want to go home and have a look." Xu Le started the car and stretched out his hand at the same time, "But I want to make a phone call first."
Tai Zhiyuan handed over the phone, and Xu Le dialed a familiar phone number. After a pause, he said to the phone, "Yu Zi, I'm out."
Looking at Tai Zhiyuan outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if being stabbed by the blazing sunlight over the capital.
Xu Le didn't care about his reaction, and said softly to Zou Yu on the other side of the phone, "I'm sorry, that rogue is still locked up, but there promises me to do my best, maybe he will be released soon."
Finally, he said seriously: "Thank you."
The black car passed through the No. 2 highway, with the slight whistle of the motor, the sunroof opened, and the sun and the warm wind of late spring came in, sprinkled on the upper body of Xu Le and Tai Zhiyuan, with spots and wind on the temples.
"If the wind blows too much, it is easy to get sick." Tai Zhiyuan said.
"You've been in the army for so long, isn't your body stronger than before?"
From Tai Zhiyuan's military uniform, slightly changed temperament and facial complexion, Xu Le had already guessed where this guy was hiding for more than a year. Xu Le never cared about Tai Zhiyuan's identity. The prince who was regarded as jade by the vast majority of people in the federation was just his friend, and he was the weaker one in the relationship, because the prince's health was not very good. He had fainted in his arms before.
"To be promoted to major so quickly, you must know that I have done so much, and now I am only a captain."
"I fought it out in the military camp. In the Liufengpo clubhouse, the lieutenant colonel's epaulettes were prepared for you, but you went to S2 to play a lone hero."
A faint sarcasm seeped out from the fluffy beards on Tai Zhiyuan's upper lip. He is younger than Xu Le, but his weak green feeling has long been blown away by the wind and smoke of Qinglong Mountain, and the only thing left is peace and confidence.
Xu Le raised his brows and said, "I never want to be a hero. Who would have known that Medellin was actually an imperial spy. I admit, I'm just a lucky guy."
He took out the medal from his coat pocket and threw it.
Tai Zhiyuan looked at the gleaming Zichen Medal in his hand, and said with a sigh, "When Li Pifu was as old as you, there were only two purple stars hanging on his chest."
Xu Le smiled, and did not continue to discuss his own affairs, and began to ask Tai Zhiyuan about his life in the military camp for more than a year, whether he had seen blood, and had he ever fired a gun. Qi, have you ever had another girl...
In the black car, happy laughter gradually sounded. Walking through the free wind and sunshine, a young man forgets the darkness of blood and fire, a young man forgets his identity and status, just like in H1 a long time ago, through the intercom, he tells interesting things.
At the corner of the corridor, Xu Le took out a key and opened the door of Wangdu's apartment. This was the first time Tai Zhiyuan came to this apartment. Like a master, he went straight to the sofa and sat down, carefully looking at the size and layout of the room.
The air circulation system of the apartment has been working well, and although it has not been occupied for more than half a year, there is still no dust and dirt. Xu Le poured a cup of tea for Tai Zhiyuan, then walked to the terrace, looked at the ivy branches and leaves that had grown again, and smiled.
"After Yu Zi was pregnant, did he live here?" Tai Zhiyuan put down the teacup and suddenly asked.
"Well, in June, the Zou family picked her up." Xu Le didn't look back and said, "The key I took just now was prepared for her. She always likes to forget to bring the key to go out."
"Zou Liuhuo, I went to see it, the little guy looks good." Tai Zhiyuan's voice was like a riverbed washed over by water at this moment, a little rough, "You said it wasn't yours, it was Shi Qinghai's?"
Xu Le turned his head and said seriously, "You have nothing to do with Zou Yu, right?"
After being silent for a while, Tai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Indeed... But can you be more polite to me? Although I didn't help you this time, Li Piff took a fancy to you for no reason, but... I thought about it after all. Do something."
"How are you and Mrs.?"
"There was a quarrel, no big problem. I didn't go back to Mochou's back mountain. The mother and son calm down for a while."
What Tai Zhiyuan said was light and light, but Xu Le was very moved, and after all, he was too embarrassed to say something related to thanks.
The smile gradually faded away, what to do after regaining his freedom, what tasks the federal military would arrange for him, he didn't need to think about it, but he always remembered something and someone deeply.
"Can you help me find someone?"
"Who?"
"Magnolia."
After a while, Tai Zhiyuan put down the phone, looked at him and said slowly, "Your secretary is in the capital. A member of the seventh group of Baishui, the wedding ceremony will be held tonight."
Xu Le was silent for a moment, then walked into the kitchen and began to carefully sharpen a three-pointed fine-edge knife.
