Xu Le admired Lin Banshan very much. This appreciation was not the kind of reverence that Lin Dou, the second-generation children of the Seven Great Families, looked up to, but a faint yearning for a certain bearing that he could not have.
When I first saw the man with shoulders like mountains in the Shougang high-speed rail carriage, he was an ordinary technical director of the Nutshell Company, and the other party had been out of the gate for more than ten years, and he had made a legendary figure in the world with one hand.
In the following years, there were occasional exchanges. He changed from a technical director to a federal felon to a successor to a military god, but Lin Banshan was still the same Lin Banshan. It seemed that there was no obvious difference between the two.
But he had to admit that the man's aura seemed to be naturally generated, standing there like a famous river and a mountain, and he could see his style just by looking at it from a distance.
At this time, when he heard the Bermuda rumors relayed by Li Wei, he couldn't help but think of a federal rumor that Tai Zhiyuan once said: Before the former Charter Bureau Director Tai Lao retired, the most favorite candidate was not Cui Judong, who had been an assistant for many years, but In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Banshan has nothing to do with the Charter Bureau.
Xu Le frowned, squinted his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "It's really not easy for the Commonwealth to be in a foreign land like Bermuda."
"Nature is not easy."
Li Wei looked at him and said seriously: "It's like how powerful you are, even if you become the prince of the empire, I can treat you as a brother, but someone like the Banshan eldest brother, even if he wants to treat me as a brother, I dare not."
"It seems that he is not born to live under people. For example, in a venue, even if he sits quietly in the last row, he can make everyone feel that the last row is the front row."
"You speak highly of him and he is very literary." Xu Le said with a smile.
Li Wei shrugged, drank the wine in front of him, and said with emotion: "Because that person is very literary, Bermuda often describes his eyes as admiring beauty in the universe. Are you sour?"
"But it's really appropriate. All Bermudians, including the conference giants you saw yesterday, if you let them tell the truth, they absolutely believe that the most suitable job for Lin Banshan is either the federal president or the emperor of the empire."
Xu Le held the wine glass lightly and thought with a smile, is it because of this kind of temperament that Lin Banshan refuses to be the director of such an important Charter Bureau
Li Wei continued with emotion: "But in his opinion, being the president and the emperor is the most stupid thing, and it is not interesting to be responsible for the country and the people. How can it be comfortable to be his underworld king in Bermuda."
Xu Le shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own responsibilities. Lin Banshan broke out back then and became the rarest rebel of the Seven Great Families. He seemed to have no feelings for the family, but he still wanted to protect the ineffective younger brother. Go back to the Commonwealth to fight the government on behalf of the family."
Li Wei smiled, did not continue the topic, and said casually: "The son of the elder brother Banshan is still in Gas City, and his favorite woman is Li Feirong, who happens to have the same surname as me, and she wanted to confess to me a few days ago. Brother and sister, I refused, but do you want to see them?"
Xu Le replied, "No need, I came to Bermuda to do business."
"Speaking of the real business, although the armistice agreement has been signed, the old guys in the meeting will definitely not dare to go back in a short time, but what if the federal government sends people directly over? Even if the charter stipulates that they die, they can still think of other things. I don't have the confidence to compete with the federal army."
A worried look appeared on Li Wei's face.
Xu Le admitted that his concerns were justified. The Federal Charter clearly stipulated that the government should not interfere in Bermuda's internal affairs. However, the arrival of Descartes and the seven-group mercenaries under the Nutshell showed that these restrictions were only a layer. Thin fiber paper, not really binding.
"I came here for this." He looked at Li Wei and said, "After Lin Banshan left Bermuda, the one that had the greatest impact on this star field was neither the Federation nor the Empire, but Xilin."
Li Wei vaguely guessed what he meant, frowned and asked: "In recent years, many of Xilin's troops loyal to the Zhong family have been transferred to the front line, and I heard that in terms of strategic materials and weapons, the Capital Star Circle has been controlling the number of inputs. "
"You should have heard of the Tie Suanli family. For the past three years, they have been secretly or explicitly supporting the Xilin Zhong family. If you have money, it is possible. The basic equipment of the Xilin Military Region can be guaranteed. Of course, the current strength is definitely not as good as Commander Zhong's alive. time, but it is not difficult to deter Bermuda.”
After being silent for a long time, Li Wei sighed and said, "That's great."
Xu Le asked curiously, "What's so good?"
"It's good to kidnap girls, especially the little princess of Xilin Zhong's family for three years. That's the best thing. Just a word, I'm sure that the Xilin Military Region will send troops to support my brother."
Li Wei shook his head and sighed: "I saw her when I was in Wangdu, and I was very impressed. That little girl is the first person I have ever seen in my life who has never seen pirated CDs. Princess."
He asked seriously: "I saw her before I left the hotel. The little girl has grown up and become very beautiful. When are you going to do it?"
Looking serious, but actually shameless, Xu Le glared at him.
Li Wei shrugged indifferently, then looked at him seriously and asked: "At such a tense time, you are in Bermuda, it is impossible to support me, in fact, you should not know the danger I am facing before you come, What exactly do you want to do?"
"This time there are four things, except for Xilin's side..."
Xu Le frowned slightly and said after a moment of silence, "I want to find a way back for the brothers."
"It is very dangerous to start a war with the federal government. If you fail, even if you survive after the fact, those brothers in my team will no longer find a place to stand in the federal government. Bermuda is the only rear, the only rear."
Speaking of which, he remembered that when he left Mohua Planet, in order to leave Paul and the two imperial soldiers behind, the spaceship did not fly directly out of the atmosphere, and when they landed at the imperial headquarters, Xiong Linquan and the others had ugly expressions on their faces.
"They can't go to the Empire."
Xu Le looked at Li Wei and said, "If there is a day, I will entrust all the brothers Xiong Linquan to you. I hope you can treat them well."
"No problem." Li Wei replied with a smile: "You know that I came to Bermuda for an important reason to leave a way for you. Now that you can't use it, it's not a waste to let your brothers use it."
Then he added excitedly: "In the future, with a group of seven groups of gentlemen hanging on the street, who would dare to provoke me? It's really exciting to think about this."
"Virtue." Xu Le said with a smile: "The fourth reason is that I want to see you and see if this oldest friend still has this virtue."
Li Wei didn't laugh. He noticed that Xu Leshao had said a reason, and he didn't ask any further. He said in a deep voice, "It's like you're explaining the funeral, which is not auspicious."
"Before in the federal army, when 3320 was out on the mission, before going to kill Medellin, there were many times. I explained the funeral like today, and even wrote two last words."
Xu Le smiled and continued: "But I'm still alive now, I left the empire in a boat, crossed the Gary Corridor, avoided the Charter Light, and came to your site, just sitting in front of you alive and accompany you. Eat BBQ and drink."
He patted Li Wei's shoulder and said seriously, "It's really hard to die for a stinky, indestructible, indestructible stone from the Donglin mine like you and me."
After Mo Huaxing and Paul moved to hug and say goodbye, Xu Le and his sister Huaicao Shi once had a conversation that no one knew about. In that conversation, the angry and disappointed Her Royal Highness, the princess, strongly opposed Xu Le's return to the Federation. The foolish decision to fight to death for those strangers, and try to use the most powerful means of force to turn this opposition into reality.
Xu Le did not resist, but just when Huaicao Shi's fist was about to hit his head, he said something very similar to the above paragraph. He said it very sincerely, so sincere that he felt that he would not die. stone.
However, the white stone edges of the Donglin Mine will be weathered by time, the stones on the top of Kaqi Peak will collapse very slowly under the light of stars in a vacuum, and the hardest diamonds will be ground into a tacky appearance of hearts and arrows, and are worn by women. The fingers show pride without restoring the stubbornness of the stone.
Where in this universe will there be everlasting stones
At the small square table of the barbecue stall, the brothers who have reunited after a long absence no longer repeat those seemingly firm and powerful conversations that are in fact too complicated to taste. They officially start drinking, start to fight wine, and start to look like old people when they are drunk The same memories of childhood bit by bit.
For ordinary men, their thirties are in their prime, but for Xu Le and Li Wei, they went from the remote and barren Donglin mining area to the sky full of stars in just thirty years. Years have experienced stories that ordinary people have never experienced in their entire lives.
People are still young and their mentality is not old, but those times in the past have suddenly become extremely distant. If you don’t try hard to remember, you will be afraid of forgetting.
Why is Qingqiu in Hexi Prefecture so beautiful? Why can such lush bushes grow on that barren red soil? Why do the rocks in the depths of the mine stink so much? So that Donglin stone has become synonymous with smelly and hard
This is due to the fact that the orphans in Donglin kept peeing for years and months.
The two men who drank too much helped each other out of the barbecue stall, walked into the alley and unbuttoned their pants, and began to relax in broad daylight.
Li Wei vomited, but he refused to admit it, believing that it was because the roast leg of lamb tasted too fishy.
Xu Le also vomited. He never thought about whether he could resolve alcohol with his true qi in his body. Even if he could, he would not be willing, because what he drank today was not just wine, but of course it wasn't some hell of loneliness. What he drank was the past.
A very sour word, but at that time, two men like little boys at the small square table of the barbecue stall thought so. Every time I think of the time when I can't go back to being a little boy, what man doesn't secretly feel sour in his chest
The two of them were in a very happy mood, but just walked into the hotel lobby, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy looked at the drunk Li Wei, without concealing the disgust on his face, frowned and reprimanded: "Why? Drink like this! I don't know what the situation is now, so I'm not cautious."
The boy's clothes were simple and expensive, hand-sewn, obviously from an extraordinary family background, and at this moment in Bermuda, to dare to treat Li Wei with such an attitude, it is not only difficult to describe.
The drunken-eyed Xu Le didn't see the teenager's clothes at all. This kid dared to be rude to Li Wei. His eyebrows were slowly raised, but when he noticed the next picture, his thick eyebrows suddenly softened, but his eyes narrowed. .
Because he saw the boy in front of him holding a small white and delicate hand.
Little hand with bell fireworks.
