The Outcast

Chapter 931: Although thousands of people, I do not agree (on)

Views:

The Oval Office was quiet for a long time. President Pabble leaned against the edge of the table, looked at the people in the snow outside the window with a complicated expression, and suddenly asked, "Why?"

Du Shaoqing, who was standing behind him, replied after a moment of silence, "A New 17th Division NTR officer that the government has hunted down these days was once my subordinate."

President Pabble frowned, a heavy self-deprecation appeared on his dark face, and said, "Sorry."

"No." Du Shaoqing replied.

It is true that there is no need to express apology, the emotion on the face of this famous federal general has already been classified as calm. He took the Tieqi Division's sharp knife company to the official residence in a helicopter gunship, but left the main force with more than 100 military mechas and hundreds of armored vehicles in Wangdu. This has already demonstrated his attitude. His choice , this choice is the hardest blow to President Pabble.

"Maybe you made the right choice. In fact, after making that call, I began to regret it."

President Pabble looked out of the window in silence, his broad lips moved slightly, and said calmly: "The resolution to use the troops is indeed too hasty and impulsive. There are still many federal people who support me, why do I have no confidence to wait for the impeachment case? result?"

"Mr. President, I also think so." Du Shaoqing replied.

"I've always considered firm will to be my greatest strength, but I have to admit... The position of Federal President does have some kind of magic that makes people forget your original appearance, that you were once a young lawyer protesting in the streets, forgetting that What did you hate the most back then?"

"I still think there was nothing wrong with what I did, even moving troops, it's just that I started to feel a strong dislike for certain changes. My dislike is..."

Pabble turned around, looked at Du Shaoqing and sighed softly, and said with emotion: "Every morning I wake up and look in the mirror, and find that I have finally become the kind of person I despise and fear."

At this time, the heavy door of the Oval Office was quickly pushed open from the outside, and the office director Brin, who had shown his composure, walked in hastily, glanced at the electronic file in his hand, and asked very difficultly: " Mr. President, are you going to defend yourself on Parliament Hill?"

"why not?"

President Pabble took off the dark trench coat on the hanger, looked through the ceiling to the bedroom upstairs, then smiled at Du Shaoqing and said, "Shaoqing, bring your soldiers, you accompany me."

Du Shaoqing gave a military salute.

President Pabble put on his trench coat and walked out the door, his face resolute and calm, as if he was the young lawyer who entered the Supreme Court for the first time back then. Back then, the young and poor lawyers had no confidence in winning the public interest litigation case against a certain giant company's pollution, but they had a straight chest and full of confidence.

The sound of dense and hurried footsteps sounded. Under the protection of Secret Service agents and a certain sharp knife company of the Seventh Iron Division, President Pabble walked down the stairs and followed the secret passage under the official residence to the exit behind the Treasury Building in Charter Square, where there was already a motorcade. Waited a long time.

The underground of the official residence is the federal government affairs processing center that covers a large area. There are countless daily affairs in the Sanlin Star Region, and the work of contacting countless departments is all completed here, and then signed by the president.

The soft light is like the gentlest sun, shining in the vast underground space. Hundreds of staff members of the government affairs processing center, looking at the people walking by the wall, stood up subconsciously, with complex and bleak expressions on their faces. , because they know where Mr. President is going and what he is going to do.

"Everyone has worked hard."

This is not Feng Xiaoxiao's farewell condolences, but a strong voice that has been heard in the government affairs processing center every day for seven years. No matter how busy President Pabble is in the general office, he will come to the ground floor before going to sleep and ask him to go to bed. Greetings from all staff.

clap clap clap!

Looking at the back of Mr. President who disappeared at the end of the aisle, I don't know which staff member applauded. The applause became more and more enthusiastic, and someone faintly heard sobbing. Then they sat down and continued to work on the phone with those opposition lawmakers. , even if you know it doesn't work.

The presidential motorcade left the Treasury Building, bypassed Charter Square, and arrived at the Parliament Hill Building. The capital's military police and Secret Service agents followed on foot, watching the surroundings vigilantly. The staff who arrived early opened a long cordon under Parliament Hill, and they were The FBI agents in black formal attire looked indifferent and pushed away the people who tried to get close.

President Pabble looked out the window in silence. He saw many silent marching demonstrators who were angry and yelling at the murderer, and saw countless angry and angry faces, but he also saw many nervous and anxious faces, and countless people who supported him have also came here.

"It appears that this government has not completely disappointed the people."

Mr. President looked out the window and waved his hand, and said calmly: "At least, I believe that the health care reform bill will help the people at the bottom, and no one can deny it."

Du Shaoqing, who was sitting in the front row, replied: "Mr. President, as a federal soldier, I obey orders and respect the charter. But personally, no matter what the outcome of the impeachment case is, I think you have made a lot of goodwill efforts. And did an excellent job.”

"I promise you that if the impeachment case fails and someone tries to do something outside the framework of the Charter, I and the federal forces will ensure that your will and that of the government are enforced with the utmost force."

President Pabble smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

On the solemn and solemn rostrum of Parliament Hill, Pabble looked calmly at the dark seats of parliamentarians in front of him. His expression was calm and his voice was still strong and powerful. However, today he is not delivering the annual State of the Union address, but an impeached president. self-defense of the identity.

This self-defense is very simple, and may even be the shortest speech he has ever given in his life. There are no emotional rebuttals in this self-defense, no sharp loopholes to capture, and even the evidence seems to be disdainful. to provide.

"Now you are sitting in the seats of parliamentarians, and there are people behind you, no one has the qualifications and position to judge me as a federal president, only history has the qualifications to judge me."

President Pabble leaned forward slightly, slowly glanced at the embarrassed congressmen and gentlemen, and said calmly: "But no matter what the verdict of history, I still insist on my innocence."

A thick and firm voice echoed in the empty Parliament Hill, and then there was a dead silence.

Looking at the dark-faced middle-aged man on the stage who couldn't find much elegance and nobility, the excited Senator Pa Pai couldn't help but stand up and returned with the warmest applause.

This is the poorest president in the history of the federal government, a poor lawyer from a Donglin miner's family, who finally ascended to the throne of federal power. Looking at the face that he hated and hated for seven years, he remembered being in Taiwan all these years. The fierce battle between the front and the back, even the opposition members of the audience could not help but feel infinite emotion in their hearts, and subconsciously began to applaud softly.

After the self-defense, Parliament Hill entered the most critical voting session. President Pabble and government officials left the hall and went to the next conference room to wait, waiting for the final result. According to the calculations of the subordinate organizations of the official residence, there should be at least 40% of the members of Parliament Hill who are unlikely to lose their iron votes, but no one dares to say that they will win until the final result of the vote.

The old man above the rostrum on Parliament Hill smiled and nodded to the older justice beside him who seemed to have fallen asleep. After clearing his throat, he said, "Everyone, the impeachment motion against President Pabble has officially started voting. Before voting, I would like to say two words. Although we all like money, the opposite sex and power, but for the sake of this federation, for the sense of responsibility you may not have on you, when answering no, please try to only ask your own reason and emotions."

As we all know, Deputy Speaker Zion is the closest political partner of Mrs. Shan Tai after Mo Chou. It is only natural for him to make such a statement before the impeachment vote. However, the vote that followed on Parliament Hill shocked many people. !

"Congressman Xun Yeyu, do you think President Pabble is guilty of the first charge?"

"Have."

"Congressman Scully, do you think President Pabble is guilty of the second charge?"

"Have."

"No."

"Have."

"No."

The impeachment vote was dry and tense. As several members unexpectedly voted in favor, the venue was filled with a strange and depressing atmosphere. The members who didn't understand what was going on whispered and had extremely complicated expressions.

The members of Parliament who can be influenced and controlled by the Seven Great Families and can be influenced by the political forces of various states, the people in the Parliament Hill know what they know, but they never imagined that more than a dozen of the most steadfast members of the Pabul government also voted in favor!

Congressman Ivo is the daughter of a miner in Donglin Region. She has no background. Everyone knows that she is the most staunch supporter of President Pabble. Whether it was the Patriot Act or several bills to enhance the president's authority, she voted in favor without hesitation, and even at the private briefing stage, she once expressed her agreement to amend the electoral law to support President Pabble's unprecedented three-term re-election.

As a result, today, she chose to support the impeachment of the president!

There are still many members who have temporarily changed their attitude like Ivo and cast a shocking vote. In the Parliament Hill, the Papai members had the advantage, at least far more than one-third of the votes, but at this time, under the sudden continuous blow, It was a steady defeat!

Whether they answered acquittal or were about to answer acquittal, the Papai MPs looked at the staff at the counting office, their faces turned pale. to the terrifying end result.

Until this time, many members of Parliament Hill looked at their colleagues in the front row or around who had changed their minds, and then suddenly woke up and realized how much power Mochou's lady behind the mountain was hiding!

But what they didn't know was that not all the members who temporarily defected from Pabul's political camp were the means of the lady, and at least a dozen members voted according to Qinglongshan's will!

Director Brin pushed open the door and rushed into the conference room.

In recent days, as the director of the office of the President's residence, he has always been in a state of anxiety and hesitation, but the expression on his face has been concealed very well. Until this moment, he finally can no longer conceal his true emotions, because he is nervous. Sweat dripped down his hair and wet his collar.

Looking at President Pabble by the window, the expression on his face was as if he was about to cry, but at the same time he was struggling to squeeze out a laugh. He looked extremely funny and helpless. No sound came out for a long time.

There was silence in the conference room. From Director Brin's expression, the government officials who were waiting for the final result knew that the voting situation must be very bad. Everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and the female campaign policy adviser who was in charge of the specific work of the impeachment case was even more so. Just fainted!

The national security adviser took out the handkerchief in his pocket with trembling fingers, kept wiping the sweat on his forehead that only existed in his imagination, and kept mumbling something to the pot of green plants in front of him, his eyes extremely empty.

The deadly silence lasted for a long time, no one in the conference room dared to speak, and the man standing by the window finally turned around.

President Pabble has no bad habits such as tobacco and alcohol, and has a regular daily life. Although he is still healthy and even strong as early as middle age, it is so difficult for him to make such a simple turning action at this time, as if he can hear the vertebrae rubbing. Painful sore sound.

It was like a strong machine that was overloaded and suddenly lost all energy sources and reasons to move forward at a certain point of time. He quietly watched the staff in the room, without saying anything, and directly led Du Shaoqing out. room, left Parliament Hill.

"Here, let's meet in Santa Fe."

The official residence motorcade stopped outside the west gate of Capital University. After President Pabble hung up the phone, he got off the specially made bullet-proof car and walked into the inconspicuous tavern on the street.

This tavern called Santa Fe is not well-known, and the only thing it can get is the religious red wine smuggled from Bermuda. The current situation in the Capital District is turbulent, and fewer people are willing to come to the tavern to drink and pass the time, and the surroundings are quiet. .

The tavern is next to the west gate of Capital University, and across the street is the First Military Academy, which is under military control. The march demonstrations in silence and relatively good order have not spread to this place yet, but Secret Service agents and FBI officials, The security control area is still expanded around the block.

Responsible for guarding the safety of the tavern is a certain sharp knife company of the Seventh Iron Division. Although Du Shaoqing and his Iron Seventh Division rejected President Pabble's order at the last moment, he still gave Du Shaoqing absolute trust. Perhaps it is because of this demeanor that Mr. President can make Du Shaoqing so amazing The characters are willing to silently retreat, obey and follow.

"I was expelled from the office for the first time because of the pollution case of Xike Pharmaceutical Company. At that time, I only had two hundred yuan borrowed, which was half a month's rent that my wife had been waiting for for a long time, but I don't know why. When I saw this tavern, I couldn't help but come in and get drunk."

Sitting in the dark corner of the tavern, President Pabble slowly rubbed the surface of the old wine table with his right hand, and said calmly, "It was in this tavern that I first met Zaidao, the one from the Trinity Association of the First Hospital. Those companions, I sometimes can't help but think that the drunken encounter and argument was probably really an arrangement of fate."

The impeachment vote on Parliament Hill was probably coming to an end at this time, and President Pabble's dark face showed a very light despair and said: "Those who accept the arrangement of fate do not necessarily become the darling of fate, I have thought about us It could fail, but I don't understand why it failed, aren't we doing something right?"

"Why is the government under my leadership, as you once said, full of shady deals and a bunch of incompetent waste? Why did Hu Lian, Berry, and Descartes eventually become the fatal reason for our failure? I I couldn't figure it out, until I came to this tavern, I vaguely understood a possible reason for the loss of this war."

Du Shaoqing, who was standing by the wine table, was silent and listened quietly.

"I told you last time that there are too few real idealists in this world, and our cause and even the most basic operation of the government need countless people. What can I use to attract them? I can only use official power. Corruption lures them, not those vain ideals."

"And the members of the Trinity Association that I saw in the tavern many years ago, they are the most outstanding geniuses in the whole Federation like you, they are all idealists, they could have become the core of the government, the foundation of the Federation , if I could still have such a group of partners, the story may be told in a completely different way, and the ending of the story will be completely different."

President Pabble looked at the tavern shrouded in dim lights, as if looking at the faces of his once most familiar companions, and said sadly, "It's a pity they died."

"Too many of my talented companions have died under the guns of Shi Qinghai and Xu Le. If our career is really lost like this, then a large part of the reason is that we lost to those two young people. Under the assassination of people who are completely unreasonable."

"But it doesn't make any sense to talk about it now, I just miss those friends a little bit."

President Pabble smiled slightly, pointed to a small wine table on his right, and said: "We quarreled in the box for half an hour that day, and we simply decided what to do, and then went out to continue drinking. Len is sitting at this table."

Then he pointed in the other direction and said, "Metz is sitting here, Hu Sha and a few other people are drinking together over there, and the Tao family has money, so he opened three bottles of Brandy's No. 1 that day."

"We came to this bistro for a few drinks later, although not many times, but everyone sat in similar positions. The last time seemed to be celebrating Byron's official entry into politics, and we haven't seen each other in public since then. When you meet, you may be reading a book across from you at the time."

Du Shaoqing studied at the First Military Academy for four years, burying himself in the lesson plans and military regulations all day, and has never been to this tavern that has changed the history of the Federation.

His eyes moved in the direction of Mr. President's fingers, falling on all corners of the tavern, as if he saw those former geniuses watching him quietly under the dim light.

"I was still a fifth grader at that time." He shook his head and replied.

President Pabble looked at him calmly, and suddenly said: "Actually, I knew from the first time we met, Shaoqing, you do agree with our ideals, but the ultimate reason why you are willing to help me is that you agree with what I said. The Federation with the existence of seven great families will never be able to completely destroy the Empire, there is a question I have never asked, why is your hatred for the people of the Empire so deep?"

Du Shaoqing replied after a moment of silence: "Mr. President, please allow me to keep some privacy."

President Pabble laughed at himself and said, "Maybe at this moment, I'm no longer the president of the federal government. Do you still insist on saying no?"

Confirming that he did not express his desires with emotion like his own, President Pabble smiled and continued: "It seems that I have to apologize to you about this matter, I have no way to make the seven people disappear from the federation, and there is no way to help. You lead your troops into Tianjing Star."

I don't know what to think, his brows were slightly wrinkled, looking at the falling snowflakes outside the window, he said indifferently: "Liyuan Palace once told me before his death that the real changes in the federation will take place inside, I don't know if Councillor Tai Zhiyuan will be able to. As he said, do what should be done."

It has been a long time since I came here from Parliament Hill, but Li Zaidao never showed up. President Pabble fell into a long silence. What's the past in the tavern.

Li Zaidao still didn't come, but Tai Zhiyuan came.

After receiving the report from the peripheral subordinates, Du Shaoqing glanced at President Pabble and said indifferently after confirming: "Please come over to Congressman Tai."

The dust is about to fall, and this war between the rulers and the Seven Great Families seems to end with the latter's victory. This kind of picture is not uncommon in history. According to the usual proud and elegant gestures of the Seven Great Families, the Patriarchs usually don't like it at this time. They will appear, and they will even outright and indifferently reject any negotiating conditions put forward by the other party.

However, the federation in the 76th year of the constitutional calendar is different from the previous federation. In this war, the opponents faced by the Seven Great Families are more determined, forbearing and powerful. Although the impeachment bill is about to be passed on Parliament Hill at this time, there are still countless federations. Soldiers are loyal to him, and countless important members of the seven families are imprisoned in prison, and Du Shaoqing is standing behind Mr. President.

As a result, the young federal congressman, the heir to the Tai family, the leader of the Seven Great Families, became the most suitable and sincere negotiator.

Under the expressionless escort of the soldiers from the Seventh Division of Tie Zhiyuan, Tai Zhiyuan slowly walked over from the wind and snow. His thin and thin body seemed to fall down at any time. The pub sat calmly in front of President Pabble, and said tiredly: "Mr. President, I hope you can calmly accept the vote of the parliament."

Pabble quietly looked at the young congressman in front of him, and suddenly spoke after watching for a long time. He did not answer the question, but praised earnestly: "As an old civil rights member, I know very well that the rally movement may seem simple, but in fact It's very difficult to do well, and you did a great job."

"It's my honor to be praised by you in this regard."

Tai Zhiyuan put down the handkerchief on his lips and replied with a smile, "I have read your book."

Then back to the original question, after a moment of silence, President Pabble raised his eyebrows slowly and repeated: "Want me to accept the results of the parliamentary vote and leave the residence quietly?"

"Yes."

President Pabble sighed with emotion: "It would be the most tedious repetition of the federation to return to the hands of you rotten families and greedy politicians if I simply leave like this? What have I done in my life? And what has changed? Is it true that the emperor will never disappear, just changed a few clothes?"

"George Carlin's conversation record after the early autumn tea party." Tai Zhiyuan looked at him calmly, and replied slowly in a very serious tone: "You can believe that the federation in the future will definitely change, that emperor will not be on the fashion show forever, because I I said, I've read your book."

Hearing this sentence, President Pabur's eyes gradually brightened. He looked at Tai Zhiyuan's delicate and pale face, as if he saw a good picture.

"The impeached president loses all his rights, I will be tried, and many people who follow me will also be sent to prison by you to bear the responsibilities that they should not have assumed. Will you still agree that Shaoqing will continue to serve as the commander of the federal forces? ? I don't believe it at all."

Tai Zhiyuan said in a calm but firm tone: "If a person like Dr. Wei has not been tried, how will they know whether they should bear the responsibilities? If Master Shaoqing has never been deeply involved in those dirty things, you have to believe me than Anyone expects him to continue as commander of federal forces because I know he's a better fit than anyone else."

"As for your Excellency the President..." The young congressman suddenly closed his lips slowly, and in his still energetic eyes, there was a faint smile of insight into people's hearts.

Du Shaoqing, who had always been silent, suddenly said in a deep voice that could not be refused: "In order to ensure the safety of Mr. President, the parliament must issue an amnesty, and the successor must sign it."

It is not uncommon in the history of human society to provide a full range of pardons and even protection to the former president in exchange for the other party's voluntary surrender of power, so as to avoid unrest or even civil war in the federal society. Many years ago, Emperor Tai's promise to peacefully hand over power to all citizens in exchange for great benefits and never to pursue past responsibilities.

As the bloodline of the former royal family, Tai Zhiyuan was no stranger to this kind of political arrangement. Before coming here to negotiate, he had already figured out the answer, but for such an important commitment, even if his family was as noble as him, he could not decide alone.

He made several phone calls to the Li family's Nan Xiang's family and other families.

In the snowfall at the end of the street, a car was parked calmly. After Lin Banshan, who was sitting in the back row, answered the phone, he asked a few questions, and then nodded.

After Tai Zhiyuan hung up the phone, he looked at President Pabble and Du Shaoqing behind him and said, "As long as you agree to resign, the next federal government and any subsequent government will not hold you accountable. But that's not an amnesty, the name of the bill. It will be the "Order on Legal Guarantees for the Cessation of the Federal President and His Family from Exercising Full Powers," and the specific provisions will come later."

President Pabble frowned slightly, and after a while he said, "The key is Xilin's opinion."

Tai Zhiyuan answered succinctly: "I will provide enough compensation to make Xilin give up."

This time, the political compromise negotiation hidden behind the parliamentary vote, hidden in the shadows behind the silent march of hundreds of thousands of people, the seven members seem to have paid too much, but in fact it was only because Du Shaoqing stood silently behind Pabul, negotiating The chips are enough.

A shrill chirp sounded on the campus of Capital University. Because of the great distance, it was like the chirping of a winter bird, but it fell into the ears of those who had a military career inside and outside the tavern. Clear gunshots!

Immediately afterwards, the gunshots rang out piecemeal again. Although it was not dense, it clearly felt that it was getting closer and closer. It seemed that the shooter was approaching the tavern.

The outlying FBI and Secret Service agents had begun exchanging fire with the incoming enemy, and the chain of command seemed to be sluggish in some strange way.

Du Shaoqing walked to the door of the tavern, listening to the gunshots that sounded indirectly in three directions behind him, looking at the empty street, looking at the extremely quiet fence of a courtyard in the wind and snow, frowning slowly, waved to Tie Qi The swordsmen of the division spread out to defend.

President Pabble in the tavern looked at Tai Zhiyuan quietly, Tai Zhiyuan shook his head.

In the car at the street entrance in the distance, Lin Banshan frowned and asked Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting in the front row, "It's not our people, then who would dare to make trouble at this time?"

For the Commonwealth that is in the shadow of civil strife, for the Commonwealth whose front-line troops are being severely hit, and for the Commonwealth that has been turbulent for too long to withstand more toss, this tavern next to the west gate of Capital University has changed After its history, now is another very crucial and very important moment, which cannot be disturbed or interrupted.

The scattered gunfire and tense atmosphere inside and outside the tavern did not seem to affect Tai Zhiyuan at all. He stared at President Pabble's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Your Excellency President..."

After a moment of silence, President Pabble said, "I agree."

Three simple words are too critical and too important for the current federation. At this moment, in those manors and prisons, I don’t know how many people began to applaud and celebrate.

However, at this moment, a hoarse, tired but unusually strong voice came from across the street.

"I disagree."

Hearing this voice, the soldiers of the 7th Iron Division who were closely guarded on the street were extremely shocked. They could not imagine why someone could hide the scanning equipment carried by the team and actually touch the place so close to the tavern. They quickly raised the muzzle, Aim for where the sound is coming from.

It was the mottled fence of the First Military Academy, with traces of years and remnants of snow remaining on it. Suddenly, a person roared and jumped off the wall, swept away the remnant snow on the wall by the cold wind!

The man's movements were too fast, and before the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Iron Division had time to aim and shoot, they only heard a burst of gunshots from both sides of the street, especially in the direction of the west gate of Capital University. Lift the modified sniper rifle and force it over!

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

"You don't fucking move!"

"The little brat of the seventh division, don't move!"

"Mountain artillery! You fucking are the mountain artillery of the Seventeenth Division! Put the gun down!"

The members of the seven groups entered Capital University from the underground waterway, and then used a feint to attract the firepower of the peripheral Secret Service, quietly approaching their destination, and they were already out of breath and exhausted from running and sneaking all the way, but they still believed that they could control the situation in the first time. .

However, when they found out that they were facing an old acquaintance and an old enemy, a sharp knife company from the Seventh Iron Division, they knew that controlling the overall situation had become an extravagant hope. The long officer roared loudly: "If you dare to touch Lao Tzu, I will shoot you!"

"Try the fuck!"

The company commander of Tie Qi Shijian Dao Company shouted back, just as the seventh group felt at this time. When the company commander found out that these guys were members of the seventh group, he was more cautious than usual, even if he had more people. a lot of.

During the exercise on the battlefield, these two groups of soldiers did not know how many times they had exchanged hands, both openly and secretly.

In this tense confrontation, only the small-eyed man who jumped off the wall dared to move.

Wearing a tattered sports windbreaker and a heavy rucksack on his back, Xu Le walked silently from under the wall to the tavern across the street in the wind and snow, just like he did every time he fought.

There is only one difference from that year, that is, he wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. When he jumped off the wall, Du Shaoqing, who has sharp eyes and keen eyes, noticed this, so he clenched the sunglasses with his right hand behind him. Give a quick order not to shoot.

The pair of military boots, which had run for 170 kilometers in the mountains, stepped on the thin snow surface and made a squeaking sound. , Xu Le, whose face was stained with blood and ashes, simply ignored the dark muzzles around him, took out a pistol from his waist and loaded it with a bang, and walked towards the tavern across the street with a blank expression.

Xiong Linquan and other more than a dozen team members also approached from both ends of the street. Their flat-end TP changed their sniper to aim at the soldiers of the Seventh Iron Division nearby, ignoring their bodies, and their blood dripped into the white snow.

When passing Du Shaoqing who was standing at the entrance of the tavern, Xu Le paused slightly, glanced at him, stretched out his left hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Thank you."

Du Shaoqing held the sunglasses tightly in his right hand and looked at him blankly. Naturally, he wouldn't say nonsense like you're welcome. He asked indifferently, "Are these the glasses that Shi Qinghai used?"

Xu Le replied: "It's not the one, but the effect is better than the one he used. I know your gun is still in the box, so you are not as fast as me at this time."

Du Shaoqing frowned slightly.

He remembered three or four years ago, Vice President Byron, who was blasted into blood by ACW under the long stone steps of Parliament Hill, and remembered that the sunshine in Charter Square that day was quite good.

He remembered that day he once smoked a thick tobacco on the couple's chair in the square and watched the handsome young man smoking under the statue of the group of five die as if asleep.

So he finally confirmed why Xu Le came at this time and why he dared to come.
