Magnolia went to the hospital to visit his family members who were always sleeping. Xiong Linquan had already boarded the long-distance train home. Liu Jiao went to the hospital to see his sister's unhealable abdomen. Lan Xiaolong took the transport plane of the First Military Region to Hong Kong. Accompanied by Gu Xifeng, Da Vinci nervously embarked on the road to Xiao Shisanlou's house to seek marriage.
After the welcome ceremony of the federal government, the officers and soldiers of the participating troops ushered in a rare vacation, the new 17th division was disbanded on the spot, and the new and old members of the seven groups had their own things to do, so Xu Le had a rare period of time. Alone space and time.
Half an hour after the dust removal device was turned on, he walked to the window with a cup of quick-heat lunch box, opened the window, and looked 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 were the same as before he left, and the street scene was the same. The old lady who sold the lunch boxes was still loud, the tea coffin on the corner was still quiet, and life on Planet S1 had not changed in the slightest.
There are no gunshots, cannons, screams, or screams in my ears, only the beautiful soft music floating from the next window and the insects in the park downstairs; I can't smell the pungent smell of liquid explosives, I can't see strong The smoke of gunpowder covered the sun, there were no gold scraps of bullet casings that could not hide no matter how to hide, and there were no corpses with blood flowing, guts pierced, and wounded soldiers howling in pain, only the two rounds of quiet in the night sky. The moon and a few cloud bands slowly brushing the moon's cheeks.
Xu Le couldn't help feeling a little confused. Those tragic battles on the front line didn't seem to affect the rear at all. This place and the other were like the joys and sorrows of many people, and they were completely different worlds.
But he has experienced and clearly experienced those great cruelties between life and death. Before he realized it, the experience of the frontline had already left a deep impression on his life trajectory. Those subtle changes that have not yet fermented may Presented clearly some day in the future.
After eating the lunch box indiscriminately, he carefully cleaned the room. He sat back comfortably on the soft imitation leather sofa that Zou Yu bought, turned on the TV light curtain, and watched Channel 23 with a relaxed and contented expression. TV series, with a glass of cheap red wine in hand.
This is a habit I have cultivated since I was a teenager. It's just a pity that after "Full Metal Frenzy" was cut off, the fluffy purple-haired and playful girl can no longer be seen on this channel. Maybe I will go to Philadelphia to see her in two days. ? Xu Le raised his thick eyebrows slightly, thinking of this possibility with a smile.
Subordinates or friends are all gone. In the next few days, Xu Le and Tai Zhiyuan talked on the phone, but he was not willing to go to Mochou Houshan to see the lady. First, he was not happy. Second, he had to admit that he had a deep heart for the lady he had not seen for a long time. There has always been some fear.
Lee Hsiao Tong is now in S2. Sanlin United Bank has made a lot of investment for the reconstruction of the four states around the mountains. A number of plans of tens of billions of yuan are being implemented. He can be responsible for such an important work. In the hearts of the elderly, the status has been greatly improved. Xu Le is very happy to see this scene, but if the two want to get together, they must wait until next week.
The little watermelon was busy preparing for the exam in Qixia Prefecture and was busy reuniting with her father. The little girl begged Xu Le to play with him on the phone, but for some reason, Xu Le, who had just left the battlefield, felt a little slack and sluggish all over. Don't want to leave too far away.
His subordinate friend Yunsan may live his own life elsewhere. Xu Le has no classmates or relatives in the capital star circle. As for interview requests from some news media and dinner parties in the capital, he declined all of them.
The next day, he made an appointment with Professor Xiao Shen to go to the Xinghe Cemetery. In front of the tomb picked up by Mr. Shen, he placed a bunch of dehydrated and packaged yellow flowers from 5460. Then he returned to Wangdu Apartment again, watching TV day and night, eating lunch boxes, and dazed...
Just three days after the long vacation, the day became as heavy as a few thick layers of dust, and this situation continued until he received a call from someone he thought was busy playing with flowers, and he remembered that day. In the deep words of Minister Zou in the airport, I was a little surprised to find that in the center of the federation, apart from this apartment and the concierge of Ewha University, the one I was most familiar with was the minister building in the Xishan compound.
The black car without any signs drove silently on the street without attracting anyone's attention. On both sides of the road are more than 100,000 pots of flowers carefully prepared by the Capital Landscape Department to celebrate the victory of the war, from Charter Square to the Presidential Residence, and then extending westward to the core area of the army. These flowers of different colors are in the sun and warm. In the wind, Tu Rui is blooming, blooming, blooming...
Xu Le retracted his gaze from the window and couldn't help shaking his head. It was already the spring of the 70th year of the Xianli calendar, and it had been more than four years since he left Donglin and came to the capital star circle... The problem is that he once again forgot what the new year looks like. Does the pace of time become so hurried once life becomes stressful and exciting
The black car slowly stopped at the door of Xishan compound.
Within ten kilometers before and after the street, the most important departments and research institutions of the federal military gathered. People in military uniforms entered and exited each building calmly and quickly. Only the entrance of the Xishan compound was particularly quiet, except for the two armed with guns at the entrance. Outside of the military police, there are no security facilities in sight, but anyone in the federation knows how heavily guarded this compound is.
Strict identity verification, secondary scanning by the federal electronic surveillance network, the military police heard a beep, looked at the feedback results on the handheld scanner, stood at attention with a snap, gave a standard military salute to the person in the car, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, please come in."
The military police 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 have a few gossips with the military police, but today he was obviously not in such a mood, and after nodding his head, he restarted the car.
The roof of the car shone with the beautiful skylight, and the green and deep shaded trees kept retreating outside the window. Xu Le's eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Bring you into the Xishan compound, I will It's crazy."
Shi Qinghai, who was sitting beside him, flicked the hard brim of his military cap with his fingers and made a snapping sound. A smile flashed on his handsome and handsome face, and said, "Friend, isn't it my friend?"
Xu Le's face was a little ugly, and he was able to sneak into the heavily guarded Xishan compound with Mr. Shi. I don't know if the military police took his own face and the inspection was too loose, or because the old thing opened the back door again, but no matter what. Either way, he could feel great pressure on both shoulders.
"Stop smiling." He said with an incomparable headache: "You are going to die, let me bring you to the compound, what do you want to do? Life is not Schiller's script, even if you want to meet Zou Yu, there is no need to go there. Turning over the balcony, countless bars and teahouses outside the compound are open."
"I'm not going over the balcony to see my woman and my son." Shi Qinghai's smile faded, and he said calmly, "I want to see Zou Yingxing."
Fortunately, Xu Le's nerves were much stronger than ordinary people, so when he heard this, he didn't panic and steer the car into the big green tree on the side of the road, but his face also turned pale, and he reprimanded in a low voice angrily. Said: "You're crazy! That's the Minister of Defense! Although he looks like a scholar, I can guarantee that there are countless guns in his study, and... they are all loaded."
The door of an independent three-storey building in the back of the compound was open, and his eyes were wide open. Federal Minister of Defense Zou Yingxing, wearing a light gray ordinary coat, was sitting on the sofa like an ordinary person, wearing glasses and reading carefully. Some documents on the electronic light curtain.
"Here?" Minister Zou heard the footsteps, didn't look up, and greeted casually: "Zou Yu just came back from Linhai for a few days, and was coaxing the children upstairs at this time, you sit first, today's dinner is your favorite. Braised Bean Curd.”
Xu Le looked at him on the sofa, his back was sweating coldly and 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 that, Mr. Minister from the logistics system, What strong support was provided for this victorious military operation.
"Oh, by the way, Zou You is now going to the third hospital for further studies. I heard that the grades are good. You taught me a son who was incompetent, and now it seems that it is indeed useful."
Still no answer, Minister Zou raised his head in doubt, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Xu Le and the officer beside him who were nervous at the door, frowned slightly, and said, "Bring a friend with you. coming?"
"Hello, I'm Shi Qinghai, the liaison officer of the First Special Army." Shi Qinghai introduced himself with a smile: "You taught Major Zou You a lesson earlier... The other person is me."
Minister Zou's frowned frowned gradually, he put his glasses on the coffee table, looked up at the two young people at the door, his face was calm and full of pressure, and asked slowly, "I know you, just... Then what? "
Shi Qinghai stood silent for a long time, took a deep breath, walked to the front of the sofa, bowed 120 degrees very seriously and respectfully, his head seemed to touch his knees, and then straightened up, Looking ahead, he loudly requested in a sincere tone: "Reporting Minister, I am Liu Huo's biological father, please allow me to marry Ling Qianjin as a legal wife."
When Shi Qinghai resolutely walked over, Xu Le wanted to grab him, but his outstretched hand was slow for some reason, but he did not expect that his best friend would actually see the Minister for the first time. Such words were spoken.
He looked at the minister in the sofa worriedly, worried that he would faint from anger, and even more worried that if the other party didn't faint, he would call a group of special forces to kill him and Shi Qinghai...
Unexpectedly, there was no change in the expression on Minister Zou's face. He picked up the glasses on the coffee table, put them on the bridge of his nose, and resumed reading the document without saying a word.
