The next day, the train arrived in South Kezhou. When Xu Le and the other two walked out of the station, the black car without a logo had been quietly waiting for a long time.
Back then, he would have shuddered at such a supernatural scene. However, after living in the capital ring for many years, he was mostly surrounded by people like Tai Zhiyuan and Li Xiaotong. Naturally, he knew that many things that were incomprehensible to ordinary citizens were just a matter of a glance to those at the top of society.
South Kezhou had the largest wetland reserve in S1. At the end of the long grass was the Tranquil Sea, famous for its beautiful scenery. The place they were going to today was a quiet manor on the shore of the Tranquil Sea, in the midst of dense forests and meadows.
The black car drove through the entrance of the manor without a sign. They had gone through the cumbersome authorization code verification in advance, so they were not questioned.
The manor covered a large area. The west side was the Tranquil Sea, and the north side was facing a slowly rising hillside. There were forests in the mountains and sand by the sea. Between the green forests and white sand, there was the smell of water blowing from the direction of the wetland. There were also countless white birds flying in between.
The road was so long that it seemed to have no end. Walking along the side of the shallow water, after going around a certain mountain pass, the line of sight suddenly opened up. A vast and calm blue ocean and a lonely hillside in the middle of the vast expanse of heaven and earth suddenly appeared before their eyes, causing them to be unable to help but feel refreshed and refreshed.
Tai Zhiyuan leaned lazily on the back seat. This posture was completely inconsistent with the strict family education he had received since childhood. Even his voice became a little relaxed. "Something else … Lin Banshan's name has always been a little stylish. He hid the words' mountains and rivers' behind it, so that people who come in can fill in the four words in front of them."
Something else, mountains and rivers, was the name of the manor. Lin Banshan, a member of the Seven Great Families of noble birth, had burst out laughing in the past. It was unknown how many earth-shattering events he had caused in the Federation and Bermuda. However, his interest in his leisure time had always remained in the courtyard. Lin Garden was like that, and so was this manor.
Even if it was just a hobby in his spare time, it was a structure that the elders of the Lin family deliberately imitated and Wood Valley Manor could not compare.
"It's rare for the seven great clans to produce such a talented person like him, but in the end, he only puts his mind on these trivial matters." Tai Zhiyuan commented on the owner of this place, shaking his head and sighing.
The small matter he was talking about was not only referring to the Garden Rest House, but also the vast underground industry under Lin Banshan. In his opinion, compared to the structure of the Federation or the universe, these things could only ever be small paths that led astray. They would never be able to step onto the real stage, so he didn't really agree. Or rather, he felt that it was a pity that Lin Banshan had wasted his energy on this.
Other manors were located in a remote area. As Lin Banshan's property, not many people in the entire Federation could afford to spend here, so it had always been quiet and peaceful. But today, for some reason, faint laughter and music could be heard from the beach buildings on the left side of the long forest road.
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and glanced in that direction. He didn't answer Tai Zhiyuan's sigh and continued to drive steadily. The car followed the flat road, passing by the sea and going straight into the meadow, hillside, and forest. There were no more noises, only the early chirping of cicadas and the late birds, and the low and soft grinding sound of the tires.
At the top of the hillside was a manicured but still natural lawn, and further ahead was the most beautiful natural reef bay in the Calm Sea. Under the wide floor-to-ceiling glass, the three of them quietly ate delicious food, occasionally chatting, and occasionally looking out of the window, letting the scenery of the bay enter their eyes.
"The old man didn't make a statement, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't support Mr. President's plan to attack the Empire. I think he probably feels that now is not the time for him to show up."
Jian Shui 'er looked at the three stalks of golden chrysanthemums spinning in the glass of water and said with a smile, "In fact, the official residence and the Ministry of National Defense arranged last night's performance, which has already helped a lot in this matter. You showed up, and I also sang, so Mr. President should be satisfied. "
The light fragrance of white maple wood filled the small villa surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. There were only the three of them here, and all the servants had already left, so they didn't need to be too careful when talking. In front of the young master of the Tai family, although Jian Shui 'er didn't hide her relationship with the Philadelphia family, she also didn't call the great military god of the Federation "old man".
The people at the top of the Federation, such as the core of the seven great families, such as the leaders of the Parliament and the military, were very clear about the close relationship between the National Girl Jian Shui 'er and the Lees of Philadelphia, but most of them couldn't figure out what this relationship was.
Tai Zhiyuan was different. The relationship between the back of the mountain and the Philadelphia family started a few decades ago, and the relationship was complicated and tangled. The madam knew about the existence of Jian Shui 'er for a long time, so he naturally knew about it as well. But at this time, seeing that this beautiful superstar didn't want to say it, he naturally didn't want to say it.
"President Pabre pushed you and your subordinates to the front of the stage. I believe that even if you have a slow political sense, you will understand this method." He gently wiped the corner of his mouth, drank some water, and calmly said, "If there is an anti-war trend in the Federation in the future, no matter which class started the trend, your opinion will become very important."
When Xu Le was ordering, he very tastelessly ordered a large plate of his own creative dish — — Caspian caviar with rice and a large pot of Gata coffee. At this time, he was eating noisily when he suddenly heard his two friends suddenly bring the topic to such a high level. He couldn't help but choke. After coughing, he puffed out his cheeks and said, "My opinion is very important?"
"Because you and Group 7 are now idol-level figures in the hearts of the people." Tai Zhiyuan said with slight mockery, "Although you are idols, this is already a fact. The most important thing is that in the eyes of many people, your opinion to a certain extent represents the opinion of the old man of the Philadelphia family … You have to know that to this day, even I don't know the true relationship between you and the old man, let alone other people. "
"Let's stop this topic." Xu Le poured a cup of coffee and said, "I said before that this is a secret, I can't tell you."
Jian Shui'er heard these words and faintly smiled. She was incomparably beautiful. Tianhai Qingguang, both inside and outside the floor-to-ceiling window, instantly seemed to be attracted to her body.
Tai Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a sliver of praise. He immediately looked at Xu Le and calmly asked, "Why do you want to help Mr. President?"
"Because he's your family's business partner?" Xu Le shrugged and said, "Not everything needs a reason of benefit. This matter has nothing to do with anyone. I'm just doing things according to my opinion. In my opinion, if the Federation wants to obtain true peace, it must attack the Empire's homeland and beat the other side until they don't dare to start a war again. "
He looked at the two people around the table and very seriously said, "This understanding is something I learned from Commander Zhong."
Tai Zhiyuan was silent for a moment. He did not continue this boring question. He looked at the high-quality almond pastry on his silver fork and frowned slightly. "I still think the scallion pastry you used to buy is better."
Jian Shui'er softly added from the side, "I've snuck out with Sister Tong to eat at the night market a few times. Those scallion pastry really is delicious, just that it's a little too strong."
At that time, in Ewha University's H1 mecha combat room, Xu Le would often use scallion pastry and plain porridge to exchange for Tai Zhiyuan's Gata coffee and Caspian caviar many nights. These interesting past events were admittedly the beginning of the two's friendship, but they also illustrated the difference in their growth experiences.
Now, hearing Tai Zhiyuan and Jian Shui'er praise him so seriously, he couldn't help but frown as he glanced at the black caviar in front of him. He didn't pretentiously sympathize with these two pampered children for not having the happy lives of ordinary people. He only lamented that deep down, he was still a poor boy.
"How's Yuzi doing right now? When exactly are you two getting married? "Tai Zhiyuan suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jian Shui'er's eyes lit up slightly. She looked quietly at Xu Le. She knew that this crown prince was trying to tease her and Xu Le, but for some reason, she really wanted to hear the answer from Xu Le's mouth.
Xu Le raised his head and stared at Tai Zhiyuan. "She's not your crown princess candidate right now. Naturally, it has something to do with someone else. As for other things, I can't be bothered to explain them to you. "
The affairs of the human world were very strange. When they had first met in Linhai, Red Coat Zou Yu was definitely an existence that made one angry and disgraceful. However, as the years passed, their relationship had long since changed. Now, thinking of Tai Zhiyuan's attitude back then, how she had stopped his black car on the highway and wept to her heart's content, he actually felt that Zou Yu wasn't worth it. He felt that it was unfair for her, and he felt resentment towards Tai Zhiyuan.
"She was my only normal friend when I was young." Tai Zhiyuan spread out his hands and said, "It seems that this world is becoming more and more complicated. Just pretend I didn't ask."
After a night of train, a sea breeze, a simple meal, and a chat, the rare gathering of friends had come to an end. Tai Zhiyuan looked at Xu Le and said calmly, "The attitude you want to express to those old guys doesn't need me to be a witness. I won't watch that play later. There are still some things I need to take care of at home. I'll leave after sitting for a while."
"You've appeared with me. That's already a witness," Xu Le replied with a smile, not saying the words "thank you".
Tai Zhiyuan shrugged his shoulders in a very casual manner. He put the wet towel on the table and reminded him, "Don't kill him."
Tai Zhiyuan naturally knew very well about the assassination attempt on Commander Zhong and Xu Le in Sunset State in West Woods. However, after the assassination attempt in Linhai State Stadium, this young prince had always maintained a kind of blind trust in Xu Le. He didn't believe that those stupid guys could hurt Xu Le. Since that was the case, why should he care?
Jian Shui 'er didn't understand what they were talking about. She shrugged her shoulders helplessly like the men, and used the edge of her palm to adjust the brim of her hat. She smiled sweetly and said, "I have to leave first. The school has a mock exam in New Moon Base tomorrow."
