When the Federation did not find any enemies in the vast universe, the army was just a dispensable existence for this society. However, with the sudden appearance of the Empire in the Night Scorpion Nebula, everything changed. The voice of the military was unprecedentedly powerful within the Federation. Especially with the appearance of the War God in Philadelphia, the Federation soldiers were generally welcomed and respected by the people and the society.
The military strength of the Federation expanded like a balloon. In just a few decades, the military was crazily expanded. Because of the rapid expansion, the organization and military ranks were somewhat chaotic. But no matter how chaotic it was, the two bars and two stars on the shoulders of this officer still shocked and astonished the guests of the Liufeng Slope Club.
There was only one major general in the Federation military, Du Shaoqing. The rest of the division generals were all colonels. However, the officer on the terrace was obviously only about 20 years old. How could he be a lieutenant colonel at such a young age?
The people who were qualified to attend the banquet all had their own information channels. After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, they immediately reacted. There were only two such young Lieutenant Colonels in the Federation. One of them was Li Feng, and the other was Xu Le. The former was the grandson of the Federation's War God, Li Pifu. According to many information channels, the latter seemed to have an unclear relationship with the old man in Philadelphia.
...
...
According to the political system of the Federation, Mr. Zian, the chairman of the Ethics Committee of the Parliament, was undoubtedly a real big shot who could be ranked in the top 20. But at this moment, when Xu Le said this, the old senator suddenly felt depressed and could not say anything.
Two years ago, Li Feng broke into Parliament Hill and beat up the people in Senator Zian's office. Senator Zian had always remembered the scene that made him extremely angry. Li Feng was not a real lunatic, so he naturally did not dare to be rough with him. However, he beat up several of Senator Zian's aides and secretaries. No media dared to report this incident. Who would have thought that it would become a story of Li Feng beating up a senator?
Looking at Xu Le, Councilman Zion was not as calm as he appeared to be. The appearance of Lunatic Li in Feicheng City had already made him lose face. This Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le was not known as a lunatic, but a big shot like him naturally knew what this person had done.
The terrace did not become absolutely silent. Everyone looked at Xu Le under the light with complicated expressions. There were whispers behind the crowd.
"This is Xu Le who broke the Iron Seventh Division?"
"I heard that even Li Feng was defeated by him."
"I don't know what his relationship is with the people in Philadelphia."
...
...
Nan Mingxiu noticed the strange gazes of the people around him, but did not hear the whispers. He just angrily guessed the background of the young officer standing in front of Zhang Xiaomeng. He actually dared to talk back to the old senator with one sentence. But looking at Zhang Xiaomeng standing quietly behind Xu Le, the gloominess on his face became more and more obvious.
In the hall behind the terrace, under the cover of an evergreen plant, Li Xiuzhu quietly looked at the disturbance not far away. A trace of complicated emotions flashed across his handsome and charming face. No one knew if he was thinking of the stories related to the presidential election in the past two years.
Beside him, Lin Douhai glared fiercely at Xu Le on the terrace and said, "You don't want to go out?"
From the first time he saw Xu Le in Harbor City, to the nightclub next to Capital University, and then to the Flowing Wind Slope Club last winter, every time the heir of the Lin family saw Xu Le, he would be unlucky and lose face. Last year, at this door, he was even smashed in the nose by Xu Le with a wine glass.
As the heir of one of the seven families of the Federation, Lin Douhai could never imagine that there would be someone in the world who dared to disrespect and even insult him, let alone a small figure like Xu Le.
However, at that time, Xu Le had the wife of the Back Mountain of Mochou behind him. Now, that wife might have abandoned him, but in the end, he climbed up the mountain of the Lees of Philadelphia. There were very few people the Lin family did not dare to provoke, but the two families of the Back Mountain of Mochou and the Lake of Philadelphia were existences they absolutely did not want to provoke.
Every time he thought of this, Lin Douhai could not help but hate Xu Le's bullsh * t luck. At this time, seeing that this person seemed to have offended Representative Zian and the people of Green Dragon Mountain, he could not help but feel schadenfreude and was ready to do something.
"What are we going out for?" Li Xiuzhu held a wine glass and looked at the crowd on the terrace, laughing self-deprecatingly. Few of the thousands of generations of descendants like them were as stupid as Lin Douhai, who did not know how to write the word "low-key" and could not even see the general situation clearly.
The second generation descendants of the seven families could not possibly like, and even somewhat despise, Nan Mingxiu, the son of the leader of Green Dragon Mountain. At this time, standing beside Nan Mingxiu on the terrace were some playboys.
"Madman Li only hit a representative, but Xu Le dared to kill a representative. The difference is too big." Li Xiuzhu said with slight mockery, "Representative Zian is probably thinking about where to find a way out of this situation."
…
…
Representative Zian was a big shot. He was standing too high, so it was difficult for him to find a suitable way out of this situation. He was not a guest from Green Dragon Mountain like Nan Mingxiu, who could play the crude and direct role of a revolutionary from time to time, and he could not just leave like that. Therefore, even though he knew that the young lieutenant colonel in front of him was a person that the old man had carefully cultivated, after a moment of silence, he still scolded him in a displeased tone like an elder, "What is the occasion today? Why do you have a conflict with a guest who has come from afar? "
Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly. Since the big shot did not throw that hat at him, he naturally wanted to wait for him to answer, and then gradually resolve this matter. The shrewdness of a politician was fully displayed at this moment.
"I was chatting with a friend, and then someone suddenly rushed over to disturb us. That is the whole thing."
Xu Le replied. Since he had recognized the old man as a distant relative in the military prison of Qingcheng, he had enough background and confidence in the Federation. However, he also knew that if a real big shot like Representative Zian was willing to make some concessions at this moment, and he still wanted to be aggressive, the old man would probably not agree.
Representative Zian's expression slightly relaxed, and he slightly nodded. When he was about to say something, Nan Mingxiu unexpectedly interrupted him gloomily, "Friend? I only saw you harassing the female soldiers of Green Dragon Mountain. "
Councilman Zion's expression didn't change, but his mood sank. His second sentence had already been smoothed out and softened without leaving a trace. Lieutenant Colonel Xu in front of him also gave a very polite response. Seeing that he was about to build a high staircase and then leave quietly, who would have thought that this stupid leader's son would actually add an extremely inappropriate sentence at this moment.
"I think this should be a misunderstanding. This is a matter between young people. If we talk it out, we will let it go. Mr. Representative, I am late. Please introduce Chairman Jin to me."
…
…
Just as the atmosphere on the balcony was weird, and everyone was silent and uneasy, a clear and gentle voice suddenly sounded from the side door. The crowd separated, revealing a young woman behind. This young woman had soft eyebrows and gave people a feeling of friendliness. However, her occasionally moving eyes revealed a sense of pride that made people unable to resist too much.
A person who could speak at this time and place was naturally not a small figure. Xu Le's pupils slightly shrank, and he recognized that this young woman was Mrs. Zhong, whom he had not seen for many years.
Mrs. Zhong looked at Xu Le and nodded with a smile.
Councilor Zion smiled and left with Madam Zhong. With her status, she could move extremely high stone steps with just a few words. This experienced and steady councilor would naturally not stand on this balcony and feel the chill and uneasiness in the wind.
Looking at the back of the Representative who was walking away, Nan Mingxiu was slightly stunned, feeling that she had been neglected, scorned, and humiliated. When she was about to speak, the middle-aged man beside her, who was wearing a pair of traditional Chinese clothes, suddenly leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Her gloomy face slightly stiffened, but she forced herself to hold it back.
A part of the anti-government army of Green Dragon Mountain was to be transferred to the West Woods to fight, and that lady was the wife of that tiger. Moreover, the Zhong family in the West Woods was the only family with military power among the seven families. That tiger was sometimes unwilling to give face even to the president, let alone Green Dragon Mountain.
Although Nan Mingxiu, the leader's son, was used to being arrogant, he also knew that the lady was someone who could not be offended. However, the gloominess and anger in his heart became deeper because of the departure of Representative Zian. He looked at Zhang Xiaomeng behind Xu Le and said coldly, "Comrade Zhang Xiaomeng, I think you need to explain the relationship between you and this Federation officer."
Although the reconciliation of the Federation was a foregone conclusion, Zhang Xiaomeng, who was known as the Leaf of Green Dragon Mountain, had a complicated relationship with a Federation officer. How would the organization view Zhang Xiaomeng? How would she live in Green Dragon Mountain in the future?
Who knew how much insidiousness and viciousness was hidden in Nan Mingxiu's question. Xu Le's eyes suddenly narrowed. He felt that his hair was about to stand up, and his fists hanging by his side slowly clenched.
"Secretary Nan, please understand your position." Zhang Xiaomeng, who had been silent all this time, walked to Xu Le's side and said calmly, "I belong to the four departments. First, I am not under your jurisdiction. Second, my rank is higher than yours. Why should I explain it to you?"
Previously, Zhang Xiaomeng had been quietly watching the play on the terrace. The reason why she did not open her mouth to explain was because she believed that Xu Le could solve this problem. She was willing to let Xu Le solve this problem, and some of the information that Xu Le had shown made her feel happy, comforted, and even a little proud of him.
However, Nan Mingxiu's insidious question made her very angry. She did not want Xu Le to be held accountable by the Federal military for beating up the leader's son, so she calmly stood up. The current her was no longer the her of the past. Any of her calm rhetorical questions made Nan Mingxiu's expression become even uglier.
Nan Mingxiu did not have any specific position in Green Dragon Mountain. Right now, he was Chairman Jin Jifan's secretary in name. However, he was the most beloved son of the leader of Southern Water, so he often shamelessly called himself the spokesperson of the organization. Zhang Xiaomeng's calm rhetorical questions actually made it impossible for him to step down.
Zhang Xiaomeng calmly looked at the people on the terrace, and then she raised her head to look at Xu Le. She smiled slightly and said, "But I don't want you to misunderstand him … In fact, it was I who came to the terrace to find him. He is my ex-boyfriend."
Xu Le looked at Nan Mingxiu's stunned face, and endless loathing grew in his heart. He quietly added, "Ex-boyfriend can also be said to be an old lover. We are old lovers reminiscing, what does that have to do with you? "
