Above the bitterly cold snowfield of the Far North, the sun in the blue sky was devoid of any warmth, as if it was fake. At night, the bonfire in the barracks was fake, as if the heat had been frozen by the low temperature. It also seemed fake. Xu Le tightened the white fox skin around his neck that He Lei had given him in private. He took a big gulp of liquor from the military water bottle beside him and nodded slightly.
Like Shi Qinghai, he used different methods to carry out his own perseverance, but he wasn't a good person. Now that he knew that there were some ambitious people hiding in the Federation, spying on him, or plotting something bigger, he definitely wouldn't be polite if he could find out who they were in the future.
The cold night made him feel a little depressed because of the unknown appearance and background of the enemies. At this moment, Shi Qinghai, who was already drunk and even more charming, suddenly leaned over, as if he was about to say something. His left hand quietly reached under Shi Qinghai's butt and pulled out the chair.
Xu Le didn't fall down. He held the military water bottle and kept his body in the horse stance in the air. He looked at Shi Qinghai in astonishment, shook his head, and said, "You still like to play this kind of childish game."
The two of them had known each other for almost four years, ever since the first cigarette was lit inside and outside the iron gate of Ewha University. From the very beginning, Shi Qinghai liked to sneak up on Xu Le's seat from time to time. He was just like a primary school student with excellent grades who was willing to tease a cheerful and cheerful classmate because of boredom in class.
"But you're still so boring. You never forget to train yourself under any circumstances, even when we're drinking."
Shi Qinghai burped again. He looked at the empty space under Shi Qinghai's body with sympathy and anger. He shook his head and said, "Do you know where the term 'horse stance' came from? It's the ugly posture of the previous dynasty's bigwigs who disregarded the spirit of the Constitution and kept wild horses without permission. It's full of luxury and overflowing with the smell of oily skin. It's completely different from yours. I really don't understand why you still work so hard. Why do you have to do this? "
"If you don't work hard to improve yourself, it's easy to die. I knew this before I went to the battlefield. Only when I went to the battlefield did I realize this was the truth." Xu Le stood up and pulled the chair back under his butt. He sat down in a relaxed manner and said with a smile, "I think the training you received in the Federation's Investigation Bureau and the Fourth Department was no easier than mine."
"But I won't make my life as boring as a machine because of this." Shi Qinghai said sarcastically, "Besides, the government has been trying to make you into a war hero, an idol figure. As long as you don't act stupidly, crazy and impulsively, danger will never come to you."
At this point, he frowned and asked seriously, "Actually, I've always been very curious about the relationship between you and the Lees of Philadelphia."
The answer involved many things, including Xu Le's real past, his identity as a fugitive from the Federation, and even the disguise chip behind his neck. However, he didn't hesitate and said softly, "The Army God is the younger brother of the old man, and also my teacher."
Shi Qinghai was silent for a long time. He took a big gulp of wine and said with emotion, "Well, it is indeed nepotism. But I can accept that you are not Li Pifu's illegitimate son."
He then said with a smile, "Although you don't need to explain, I still have to tell you that I will keep it a secret."
Xu Le smiled and didn't say anything. He wondered if he should find a chance to tell more of his secrets in the future to scare this guy.
There were many kinds of friends. Fair-Weather friends could have a spiritual resonance. Old friends could also turn their backs on each other in an instant. He and Shi Qinghai had gone through life and death together. They had a deep mutual trust that was as hard as alloy. There was no need to keep too many secrets between them.
"With the Lees of Philadelphia as your backer, as long as that old man is alive, no one in the Federation will dare to mess with you." Shi Qinghai looked at him thoughtfully and warned, "But you can't trust this relationship too much and make an incorrect judgment."
The Army God of the Federation was undoubtedly the most amazing big shot in the universe. In addition to his shocking military talent, this old man's political wisdom was also unfathomable. However, what made him the most fanatically worshipped and respected by hundreds of millions of people was his integrity, which was willing to sacrifice everything to protect the Federation.
Xu Le understood this very well. Li Ruofu thought highly of him and groomed him. Apart from compensating Uncle Feng Yu, a large part of it was for the sake of the Federation. The old man very much hoped that he could be like himself in the future and become a fuel to continue burning for the Federation. Without this premise, all the appreciation and cultivation would be for naught.
Just like the assassination that happened in Sunset State, Xu Le had seriously thought that if he was killed by the two killers from Bermuda, would the Army God Li Pifu avenge him? After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but deduce that if he really died, the old man would definitely not make a move against the seven great families because that would directly destroy the foundation of the Federation's existence.
Looking at the silent Xu Le, Shi Qinghai knew that he had his own plans. He smiled and didn't say anything more. With the help of the alcohol that was gradually entering his brain, he gently swayed the small amount of liquor in the military water bottle and softly hummed a very familiar song.
When he sang 27 cups of liquor to the third cup, Xu Le's voice softly followed and accompanied him all the way to the end, just like the countless nights in the bar in Linhai State.
Shi Qinghai, who was habitually drunk, would be silent for a long time when he sang the last cup of liquor and thought of his father. Then he would drink a full cup of liquor as a memorial or cry to his heart's content.
Xu Le knew the sad story that made Shi Qinghai resolutely join the anti-government army in Green Dragon Mountain, so he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he found that he didn't end the song, but started from the beginning again.
Shi Qinghai's slightly hoarse but charming voice started to repeat the line of the girl, like a needle skipping in a retro record, giving people a headache.
"The sixth cup of liquor, the stone path curved, there was a girl at the end. There was a girl at the end of the stone path! Girl, girl! That's my little girl! These are all my girls! I only want my girl … "
Xu Le keenly heard the small changes in the two's self-made lyrics. His eyes gradually narrowed as he stared at Shi Qinghai and said with a faint smile, "If it's a girl, is it Zou Yu?"
Shi Qinghai's drunken eyes were like stars. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So what? Before I went to the front line, I played the guqin for three days at the gate of the West Mountain Compound to provoke her. When she came back from Linhai for a vacation, she gave me a handkerchief from inside the wall, wrapped in a stone. How deep is her love? "
Xu Le was stunned. The picture of a playboy standing at the gate of the Federal Army Compound and harassing a minister's daughter in an infuriating manner … instantly formed in his mind. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you serious? I'm warning you, Yuzi isn't as cold and arrogant as she looks. If she's really in love, she can be stubborn. "
"Yuzi?" Shi Qinghai frowned and said disdainfully, "I'm not Nan Mingxiu. She's my woman. She doesn't need your permission to find any kind of man."
"You can't say that." Xu Le shrugged and said, "In a legal sense, I'm the father of her son. As a guardian, for the legal rights of the child, I have the right to object to her boyfriend."
Shi Qinghai was stunned. He deeply exhaled a breath of alcohol and cursed.
A moment later, a charming smile reappeared on his handsome face. He said, "In fact, I've been writing to her for the past year. In the beginning, she replied very little. She was basically like a beautiful shrew. Although she still replies very little now, she's like a beautiful gentle girl. "
"They're actually having an affair behind my back. What a pair of adulterers."
Xu Le said solemnly, but his mood was exceptionally joyous. Back then, he had selfishly wanted to leave behind a descendant of Young Master Shi, who he thought was bound to die. More importantly, he didn't want an innocent life to fall just like that. But now, it seemed that a fairytale-like ending was about to happen. After living with Zou Yu in the Wangdu apartment for so many days, he had long felt like a family member. He also hoped that she could have an excellent emotional home. If Shi Qinghai was no longer a playboy, he would naturally be the best man.
"How did you figure it out?" he asked curiously.
"I don't want to thank you, but it's true that because of the stories you told me, I fell in love with such a straightforward and cold woman. The most important thing is that she's really beautiful."
Shi Qinghai replied with a calm expression, "When I was in high school, I liked astronomy and geography the most. I knew that the universe is long, but human life is short. So in the future, I didn't care much about men and women. I only liked to have fun, and I didn't like to make promises."
"But now, I understand that things like life and the universe can't be treated equally. Just like the magnificent Liuling on this planet, she only appears once every three thousand years. The next time she appears will be 371 years later. I won't be able to see her for the rest of my life. Since that's the case, I should see something that's relatively long and worth having. "
Xu Le's thoughts suddenly floated. He said, "Astronomy and geography. Tai Zhiyuan is also very interested in exploring the universe. In my opinion, you can become good friends with him."
Shi Qinghai said, "In my opinion, I'm very willing to let this prince die."
…
…
While Mr. Shi was thinking about how rare it was to see Liuling in the snowy night, on the battleship outside the planet's atmosphere, the resident program of the Federal Central Computer was performing relevant calculations. On planet 5460, deep in the rock tunnels, the detection devices that were spread all over the ground faithfully recorded all kinds of fluctuations and transmitted them back to the battleship. It was like a huge spider web, keenly sensing the movements around it and then determining the real situation.
The geomagnetic storm suddenly became abnormal, and the rock mass became denser and denser. The Federal Central Computer was calculating, or in other words, calculating the changes that happened inside the planet. This required a lot of data and high-speed computing power. Even though it seemed to be omnipotent, it was still a bit difficult.
