The story that should be told, the context that should be clarified, is clearly laid out on the dark log floor through the narration of the three people, and the room returns to silence. The three people sitting cross-legged on the ground are not like the red in front of them. Mouth open like a mud teacup, but silent like a teacup.
After a long time, Master Fan pulled down the soft white robe again, covering the slender legs that had been exposed due to excitement, looked at Xu Le and Zhong Yanhua, and asked with an inexplicable emotion: "I said, like this A big thing, such a violent thing, the three of us are like idlers who have nothing to do after eating, sitting on the sofa and chatting about celebrity scandals and chatting, will it seem a little lack of respect for history, and to the former Are people a little disrespectful?"
"What if we don't?" Xu Le lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "Do we want to hold a joint press conference between the two sides of the universe, and invite Waifuchai and Pabul to attend it together?"
Zhong Yanhua looked at Master Fan's face and added a bit meanly: "Do I have to invite Jian Shui'er to sing to cheer up the fun, while Her Royal Highness Princess and Madman Li are in front of me to control the mecha to dance?"
"I just think there's a big gap between the importance of the content of the discussion and the atmosphere of the discussion."
Master Fan laughed bitterly at himself, then looked at Xu Le and said seriously: "However, there are still many details in these stories that are still unclear. As the only comparative literature researcher in the Federal Empire, you know that I value these details very much, and details determine everything."
"It's okay, I'll stay here for a while." Xu Le replied: "As for those details, I think there should be some historical materials in this yard, I want to take a look."
"No problem. After all, your body also has the blood of our Hua family flowing in your body."
Master Fan Meijian looked at him slightly: "But before opening these historical materials, I have a question, according to your personality, why do you suddenly care so much about the historical origin of the empire and the federation? In other words, now we basically understand After clearing up some historical clues, what does it mean to you?"
Xu Le was silent for a moment, then raised his head and answered sincerely: "I don't know, as you said, I am a guy with no spirit of exploration. I may be curious about those ancient stories, but I have no desire to follow and explore. "
Master Fan nodded and said in a regretful tone: "On the contrary, the kid Tai Zhiyuan you introduced to me should be more interested in these stories, but I heard that he wants to run for federal president now, so there can be no more for him. Too many expectations."
"Why?" Xu Le asked suspiciously.
Master Fan replied: "The difference between a politician and an explorer is like a cat and a dog."
After a short pause, he stared into Xu Le's eyes, and suddenly said, "I probably understand why you are suddenly interested in these things, that's because you have been wandering in the universe for the past few years since your life experience was revealed. Without a clear identity, this kind of confusion is a dangerous thing, and you want to solve it."
Xu Le's eyes narrowed slowly, his pupils narrowed, and he said, "What do you mean?"
"You want to prove something. You want to prove that since the Imperial Federation people are also from Zuxing, they are all the same human beings."
Master Fan looked directly into his eyes and said calmly: "If that's the case, then whether you are a federal or an imperial is no longer a very important matter, and your state of mind can be truly peaceful."
"Maybe, but I'm not one of those philosophers who likes to ask, and has the perseverance to think about where I came from. I'm not even a third-rate philosopher."
Xu Le glanced at Zhong Yanhua and continued: "Except for some reasons I can't tell you, I really don't understand why I am suddenly interested in these things, but I have a vague feeling that these stories are for me. , for a lot of people, it could be very important."
For Xu Le, the library is a place with deep memories. The library of Naxi State University and the library of Ewha University occupied a very important position in his short life. In the past two years, he has traveled in various counties of the empire. He has also visited many historical libraries with royal prefixes and collected a lot of books. A small part of those books filled the simple classrooms in Sangku Town, and most of them were random. Throw it in a secluded corner of the ship.
But he knew that the library in this white courtyard must be completely different from the libraries he had seen before, because it contained history and hidden secrets. Heavy black cloth
The wooden lattice door slowly slid, revealing layers of black cloth that trembled in the wind. Thousands of volumes of various files were neatly arranged in the space separated by the black cloth. Because no one had read it for many years, the thick book It smelled of dead silence.
"This is the family rule set by the ancestors. I don't know why, she likes black cloth very much."
Master Fan pointed to the black cloth hanging vertically in the large room, and explained to the two behind him: "Although the ancestors have passed away for hundreds of years, no one dares to violate her rules."
Xu Le took off his shoes, put on the prepared white foot covers, and walked into the quiet room. Zhong Fireworks placed his shoes neatly outside the door behind him, and then quickened his pace to follow.
Master Fan accompanied them to the Second Gate and refused to go in again. In his words, reading these lifeless records since childhood, there were too many bad memories in his mind, and he didn't want to repeat the torture again.
However, just before he left, he suddenly looked into Xu Le's eyes and said, "I found the answer to the question."
Xu Le asked, "What?"
"Peace." Master Fan smiled, "You want peace."
Only then did Xu Le understand that the so-called answer was why he was suddenly interested in these secrets, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Don't think about what I've done on the battlefield, don't remember the purpose of the war that I once discussed with Commander Zhong. Has it been reached, whether I am a third-rate philosopher or not, I have to admit that I am in the cracks now, and I am not going back to the federation because I can't find a way to solve this problem, because my identity predestines me to have no choice room."
Those thick eyebrows were still as straight as knives, and their expression was still calm, but at this moment they seemed very serious. He looked into Master Fan's eyes and said, "I can only hope that there will be peace between the two sides."
"What if not?"
"In a limited space, both sides need resources, especially the current federation. However, when the federation grabs enough resources and becomes stronger, what should the empire do?"
"With a pair of sharp-toothed lions, will they let go of their prey? If the empire survives and starts to fight back, will the wolves whose homes were destroyed will give up their desire for revenge?"
"If the war between the Empire and the Commonwealth will continue forever and tragically, what will you do? What can you do? Like the tragic hero in the eight-part series, sacrifice your life to this tragic fate? "
In front of the heavy and draping black cloth, Master Fan's calm tone was like a bullet without feeling, pressing in coldly and powerfully.
Xu Le looked at him and replied, "I'm not that kind of person. If I had the strength or power of the hero of the eight-part series, I would kill the emperor directly and end the war."
"Killing an emperor can only end a war, and as long as human society is divided, there can never be only one war."
"No one can control the world after death, and can't even infer what they are doing now and what impact it will have on the world after death, so I can only be responsible for the world I live in."
"Very well, I locked you and Xiaoshi in this yard a few years ago. That's what I wanted to do. I'm very happy that you can get back on track now."
Master Fan looked at him with a smile, and said, "In my opinion, you have always wanted to kill Pabul, whether it's for the girl next to you or for any other reason, now you seem to have it again. For a very powerful reason, that is to end the war, can you tell me when you are going to return to the Federation to kill Pabble?"
"Pabur is not the emperor, killing him will not end this war, and I am not the creator, I can kill him with such absurd reasons as to dislike him, and I will not be hypocritical enough to use the reason of cosmic peace. Kill him."
"If you can kill Pabul, then I am willing to risk killing your father, the real emperor to cooperate with you."
Xu Le was stunned before he understood what Master Fan was talking about, his thick eyebrows slowly wrinkled, looked at him doubtfully and said, "Just now you said that you were a little sorry for the grand interstellar immigration story, are we standing barefoot on the black cloth at the moment? Speaking of this kind of thing before, it seems less frivolous? Can you have some slightly more feasible and normal suggestions?"
"Killing the Federal President and the Imperial Emperor is undoubtedly the easiest and most direct way to end this war. My suggestion is very feasible."
Master Fan looked at him, shook his head, and sighed: "It's a pity that you are afraid of being accused of being hypocritical and you refuse to accept the former, and classmate Huaifuchai is your biological father."
Xu Le frowned and was speechless.
"I once told you that year, according to a distant and almost vague legend, although my ancestors were the biggest war oligarchs, they were also the people who hated war the most."
"War oligarchs?"
"Yes, he is the father of the female ancestor of the Hua family."
"It seems complicated."
"It's more complicated than you think."
Master Fan waved his hand and continued: "Based on family teachings, whether it's my father or me, we have been thinking about ways to end this war. The way my father thought was to carry out racial integration, which is what the federation called the seed plan, especially It is the fusion of the royal family and the federal blood, and the method I think of is another fusion."
"I thought it would be the best thing if you and Xiao Shi could get married. It's a pity that you are no longer the successor of the Federation Army God, but instead became her brother."
Master Fan looked at Xu Le, who had an ugly face, smiled and said, "But... I heard that President Pabble has a daughter named Miss Dale. This girl worships you fervently. Do you want to try to date her? Look? The federal president has become the father-in-law of the imperial prince, how can this war continue?"
Xu Le spread his hands helplessly and sighed, "Apart from the genital revolution, can you think of something else?"
