I saw this young woman at the airport three years ago. At that time, the lady had a gentle smile and kind eyes. Although she naturally showed pride and extravagance, she condescended to wait for the thin-clothed girl because of a very inconspicuous little thing. For myself, I gave a Xilin military trench coat and a small card. Three years later, after just a few phone calls and then seeing each other again, the eyebrows that were supposed to be unfamiliar became familiar because of the heart-breaking intimacy.
Therefore, Xu Le was a little moved. He always thought that taking care of the little watermelon on the spaceship that escaped from Donglin was a trivial matter. It was not easy for the head mistress of Xilin Zhong's family to be able to do this to such a small person as herself at that time. This kind of attitude made him Remember so far. The dark Xilin military trench coat had already been riddled with holes in the assassination incident at the Linhai Gymnasium, but the outdated card was left behind by him, and finally played the role of a big killer.
"You mean... Mrs. Tai still doesn't want to let go?" Xu Le asked, looking at Mrs. Zhong who was under the oil painting.
"Probably apart from Lin Banshan and the little lunatic from the Li family, no one in the federation knows what the old man and Mrs. Tai said in the forest garden that day."
Mrs. Zhong sat on the sofa, put her hands gently in front of her belly, looked at Xu Le and said with a smile: "But this is a matter of face, since you can come out of Qingcheng safely, it naturally means that Mochou Houshan did it in front of the old man. Concession. If you have the face of Mr. Li, you and his safety will not be a big problem, not to mention that the wife will not do such tricks. After all, with her status and strategic means, it would not be enough to deal with you again. , not decent enough."
Xu Le didn't understand why Xilin was so vigilant since Mrs. Tai would not deal with him for the time being, and even played a trick of connecting the tiger's den.
"But we Xilin intervened in this matter, even if Mrs. Tai did nothing and just watched from the sidelines, but if you let her hold the evidence... Knowing that Xilin broke her arrangement, just wait if my family and I owe her one. Confess, a favor."
"We Xilin people don't want to owe her this kind of favor." Madam Zhong smiled slightly, with a helpless smile, and said, "The favor between the seven great families is too great to be easily owed."
For the Xilin Zhong family, the parliamentary budget review in the early spring of each year is the most troublesome thing. The war-torn Xilin Region needs the Federal Management Committee to review the aid budget and energy quota. Xilin Tiger and his wife never cared about ordinary human affections or confessions in society, but Mrs. Tai, who was hidden in the mountains, rivers and lakes, could influence many people in the parliament by dancing with her long sleeves. For the Zhong family , this kind of favor is too big, too headache.
Xu Le understood this sentence and fell into silence. I just made a phone call. It should be said that the Xilin Zhong family, who I did not know and had no friendship with, helped me so much and caused so much trouble. I was in the middle of it, even if I wanted to make amends, it seemed Can't do anything either.
"I owe you and Commander Zhong a huge favor." He said softly in such a voice of a federation dignitary, somewhat unaccustomed to it. It's just like in the past years, as long as he says something, he will definitely recognize it. This is the so-called one promise.
Mrs. Zhong has studied Xu Le's files more than once, and knows the true temperament of this young man. She understands that this sentence may seem ordinary, but it actually has some weight, and she can't help but smile and say: "I think there is probably no chance of repaying this favor. ."
Xu Le's cheeks were slightly warm, knowing that Mrs. Zhong was not mocking herself, but was telling a fact. The only family that holds military power among the Seven Great Families of the Federation, may still have scruples in the capital star circle, but in the Xilin Region, it is like a soil emperor or a separatist warlord. No matter what kind of trouble such a family encounters, it seems that they do not need their own. Help to solve, if the other party really encounters troubles that cannot be solved, you have no ability to help.
"I appreciate your willingness to help me, although I don't quite understand the specific reason." He looked at Madam Zhong sincerely and said.
Madam Zhong looked at him calmly, and replied after a moment of silence: "Not all help has hidden purpose, although I am very optimistic about your future in the army, but before you go to assassinate Medellin, there is no such future. , and there is no need for investment, so this is not a one-trick investment."
Xu Le listened quietly.
Mrs. Zhong smiled and sighed, her kind and warm face was light and glowing, and you said: "Many people are in awe of the old man behind you, although including me, no one knows the real relationship between you and that old man now. , but more people are afraid of your means, I think the little old man from the Tie Suanli family will definitely not dare to face you alone, because... the will you show is too dangerous."
Xu Le thought to himself mockingly that he was not a cold-blooded killer.
"But there are also many people who like you, such as your Excellency the President." Mrs. Zhong said with a smile, "including my tiger. So you don't have to be under any psychological pressure."
Xu Le thought about the things he had heard. When President Pabble decided to pardon himself, he had encountered countless resistances, and Xilin's Commander Zhong, who had always been at odds with President Pabble, sided with the president. , unequivocally in support of amnesty. As soon as he thought of this, his gratitude to Xilin Zhong's family became stronger and stronger, and he didn't know what to say, so he bowed and thanked him earnestly.
"Fireworks and I are currently living in Qixia Prefecture. It's the autumn holiday soon. If you are free, you are welcome to visit." Mrs. Zhong said with a smile.
Xu Le was slightly startled, and the image of a little girl bathed in starlight wearing a white dress and holding a doll naturally appeared in her mind. She hadn't seen her for three years. I don't know that the little girl who doesn't like to eat and likes to be home is now grown up. what's up.
The black car drove away from the Liufengpo Clubhouse smoothly and silently like a ghost. It was a special car made by the Tai family. The staff in charge of safety in the clubhouse already knew that the black car with this license plate was given to a friend by his own prince, so Not carefully checked.
There were two dark green military vehicles following closely behind. Xu Le squinted and glanced through the rear-view light curtain. He felt a little weird, but he didn't give an order to let them leave. After all, he didn't know who Mrs. Tai was. I'm not willing to stop here. With these brave and skilled experts to follow, the safety of the two of them is more guaranteed.
Nominally it was a leave of absence for all staff, but after leaving the training base, the Seventh Combat Team of Baishui Company was not disbanded, but divided into two groups, following Xu Le every step of the way, like an agent used by the Secret Service to protect dignitaries. generally. Xu Le was very uncomfortable with this arrangement, thinking that the seventh group was going to be Jian Shui'er's bodyguard soon, why are these people coming to protect me? But he understands that this should be an order from the Department of Defense, or even the old man in Philadelphia. Even if he wants to get rid of these people, it will be very difficult.
In addition, in the training base and exercises, he gradually got along well with more than a dozen men in the seven groups. Everyone deliberately avoided the knife he stabbed at the white magnolia at the wedding, and each other was somewhat used to each other's existence.
The black car drove across Hawking Avenue and detoured towards the No. 2 highway out of the city. The report from Lan Xiaolong in the rear military vehicle came from the team's communication equipment: "Everything is normal, there is no tracking."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Mochou Houshan finally admitted the current situation. At this time, there was no need to worry that Mrs. Tai would catch the proof that the Xilin Zhong family participated in this matter. Thinking of this episode, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. A trace of absolute real happiness appeared on his face, and he said, "I'll just say, who cares about little people like us, Vigo, your courage has become too small now."
"The people on the military vehicle are all your subordinates. They look like real soldiers. You are not a small person now."
Accompanied by a voice with extremely complicated emotions, a pale and thin young man sat in the passenger seat. He looked at the on-board radar system in front of him with a somewhat uneasy expression, carefully touched the equipment in the car, shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen you for three years, it seems that you are doing well in the capital star circle, the lady just now. When I was at the best club in Donglin, I had never seen such a violent place."
Xu Le turned his head and glanced at him, and found that his best friend in his youth had become much calmer than before because of the year of prison life and the restless years that followed. Tired as always.
Three years ago, Li Wei was the leader of the Orphan Gang on Zhonglou Street, Hexi Prefecture, Donglin Region. Every night, he took the electric shock baton made by Xu Le and competed with the same poor people for territory. nightclub girl.
Three years ago, Xu Le was just an apprentice in a repair shop. He used the skills taught by his uncle to live a lackluster life. He made weapons for Li Wei. .
When the two met again three years later, many things had changed.
The black car parked next to a rice cake stall in Wangdu District. After getting off the car, Xu Le and Li Wei went to the stall to ask for some snacks, and then sat down at the small table on the sidewalk. Two dark green military vehicles were parked not far away, and the men in the seven groups did not get off the vehicles and watched the surrounding environment vigilantly.
The two friends who had not seen each other for a long time met again, and some did not know what topic to use to break the silence. After all, both of them have experienced too many things, especially Xu Le. Li Wei looked at his ordinary face with complex emotions, and at the two military vehicles behind him. Although he didn't know what Xu Le was doing now, he could also feel that Xu Le's position was different from that of Xu Le. Pulled a long distance.
"That rainy night when I was a kid, when Qiangzi and I saw you stabbing those two people to death with the tip of a discarded hydraulic pipe, I knew that you would definitely become very arrogant in the future." There was a moment of silence, and it had been a long time since Li Wei, the leader of the orphans, said, "But I still didn't expect that orphans like us, who can be seen everywhere in the Donglin District, can be so powerful, so powerful that we couldn't even imagine when we were young."
