"The last three exams for politics and history are next week. Liu Huo still has two shots of vaccine, but I came to eat with you at this time." Zou Yu put down the utensils in her hands. A trace of annoyance flashed through her beautiful eyes. She said, "Do you think I have so much time to chat with you?"
In an instant, Xu Le sensed a familiar smell coming from the bright red flower in the girl's black hair across the table. He quickly lowered his head and cut the bloody but not meaty fried No. 2 piece of meat, so as to avoid provoking the girl to the point where she would really feel good.
"Do you have any self-awareness? Because of your and your subordinates' arrogant actions, the Federation's upper echelons have been in an uproar these past two days. How many important people have been silently negotiating and wrestling? "
Zou Yu could only see his forehead. She couldn't help but furrow her brows. She picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth. She said, "A small spark can detonate the Federation's largest ammunition depot. In your opinion, killing your way into Lin Banshan's manor and trampling the Lin family's face under your feet is a very satisfying small matter. But do you know? This revenge action almost caused the situation in the entire Federation to spiral out of control. "
"The President and the military's pro-war faction, as well as the families controlling the Federation's parliament, were only a small distance away from the danger of direct conflict. Although fortunately, the situation didn't worsen in the end. " She looked at his forehead and said seriously, "But I can tell you clearly that this morning, an important bill was signed in the President's official residence. Unexpectedly, it was directly rejected by the parliament … because of you."
Xu Le raised his head.
He would never be able to be as passionate about these complicated and bizarre political conflicts as he was when he was researching mechanics or cultivating the strength in his body. He also lacked the sensitivity and talent in this area.
He didn't know when it started, but Zou Yu had started to analyze all the problems for him and dispel the political fog on his path forward. He was also used to this kind of help. Zou Yu would help him think about things that he didn't understand. Over time, he became more and more dull in this aspect, and he joyfully enjoyed this kind of dullness that didn't require much effort.
Because there was no need to think about it. The girl's forcefully suppressed anger and serious analysis naturally drilled into his left ear and then out of his right. Looking at that beautiful face, his thoughts had long drifted to other places. He subconsciously propped up his chin and furrowed his brows. He began to recall the scene when he first met her. He couldn't understand how the arrogant and cold red-clothed noble daughter that made him extremely disgusted could become a calm and lively unmarried mother and form such a close and trusting relationship with him …
"Are you listening or not?" Zou Yu's delicate eyebrows raised slightly as she said coldly.
Xu Le woke up with a start and realized that he seemed to have a habit of reminiscing about the past. Was it really like what Mr. Shi said, that he already had the stale aura of an old man despite his young age?
"I'm listening, I'm listening," he picked up the glass and drank a mouthful of water. He said vaguely, "Continue, continue."
"Last time, we analyzed the two conversations between Commander Zhong and Mr. President, and we can clearly see that the government and the military are strongly in favor of war, while the Parliament Hill and the families behind them hold the opposite view. Because of their partnership with Mr. President, Mochou Hill hasn't expressed their opinion for the time being. Although the Zhong family in the West Woods doesn't agree with the overly conservative attitude of the other families, they don't want the West Woods to become the Federation's cannon fodder again. Therefore, the Zhong family should be holding the military tightly and watching coldly from the sidelines.
"The conflict between the two sides is now covered up by the victory at the front line and the fanaticism of the people, but no one can say for sure when it will erupt in the future. The Federation government and the military definitely don't want their base camp to be unstable when they go on an expedition to the Empire in the future. Therefore, they hope to use the current momentum to suppress these opposing views in advance.
"The Nebula Award Ceremony that night was a kind of momentum building. You agreed to attend, in the eyes of many people, because you represented the will of the old man Fei Cheng. However, this kind of momentum building is the same as the spring rain entering the soil. Once the momentum is established, even if the families want to oppose, the Parliament Hill can't jump out and do something right in front of them at the risk of being abandoned by the fanatical voters.
"This is a relatively gentle struggle that both sides can accept.
"What you did, however, suddenly put this kind of power struggle in broad daylight, and quickly intensified."
"Because a lot of people don't understand why you did this.
"Of course, I know that you are purely a person who holds grudges. You don't care that the other party is the heir of the seven families. However, no one will believe that you risked the anger of the seven families just to find a good mood."
At this point, Zou Yu couldn't help but shake her head. She said, "People are speculating whether or not your crazy provocation of the Lin family represents the attitude of the old man Fei Cheng or the president's official residence.
"At this point, the level of the situation quickly escalated. That side believes that the government is using your revenge to make a strong declaration in order to force them to back down. In this way, this kind of backing down is no longer just a matter of the family's dignity. It involves the great conflict between the two sides regarding the future of the Federation.
"This level of conflict is the source of the terrifying and dangerous smell that has made it difficult for many people to breathe these days.
"Fortunately, that side finally backed down in the end.
"I have to say that your luck is really good. You clearly ignited the ammunition depot, but the Federation is still peaceful. No one shot or assassinated the president, civil war hasn't broken out, and the West Woods still hasn't become independent."
Zou Yu finished the last cold political joke with slight sarcasm. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she drank a mouthful of water to moisten her throat before continuing to eat.
When Xu Le heard the last part, his expression became complicated and strange. After a moment of silence, he explained in a serious and sincere voice with a hoarse voice, "I just wanted to scare those important people, hoping to deter them so that they wouldn't keep trying to assassinate me like they did in Sunset State. I just wanted to make life less troublesome. I really never thought that this matter would become so big and affect so far."
Bai Yulan had once lamented that Xu Le's greatest ability was to simplify the most complicated things. However, when he heard Xu Le's words today, he realized with a slight chill that the simple logic that had been in place for many years would become incomparably complicated because of the change in status and background.
"No, you don't know the really complicated and interesting things behind the scenes of this matter. In my opinion, that is the most interesting part of this drama. "
Zou Yu raised her head and smiled bitterly. "In the beginning, Feicheng thought that you were carrying out the will of the official residence, but the government thought it was the old man's idea. In the end, the two sides couldn't agree. They found that once you entered, there was another world to eat, and … the Crown Prince thought it was the madam's idea."
"No one would have thought that this … was your own idea." She looked at Xu Le like she was looking at a monster. She shook her head and sighed. "A certain simple-minded man returned from the front lines but still did things according to the simple rules of the battlefield."
"When the important people behind you finally understood, it was already too late. They could only take the risk and go with the flow. In the end, who would have thought that there would be a very good ending in the end?"
"In the past, when I had afternoon tea with the madam, she would sometimes talk about some political anecdotes of the previous dynasty. At the time, I was very surprised. Why were so many major events in history caused by insignificant matters?"
Zou Yu looked at him and said helplessly, "Very interesting. I didn't think that I would actually see a living example right now. Because of a strange guy's impulse, the Federation government, which originally needed to spend countless amounts of time and energy to do this, inexplicably seized the opportunity first. "
Xu Le thought seriously for a long time. Then he raised his head and said seriously, "I really don't understand these things."
Zou Yu smiled slightly. She thought that it was probably because he couldn't understand or was too lazy to think about it that this guy could make so many people, including the President, like him. Just as she was thinking this, she heard his next topic. The warm feeling in her heart suddenly disappeared, and a touch of anger and dullness filled her beautiful eyes.
"Mr. Shi is really a good person. Although I know that there is a problem with his identity, and Minister Zou will find it difficult to agree, but love is free. This lawsuit can be taken to the Supreme Court. I believe that your father doesn't want to be scolded by Justice He Ying," Xu Le said with a smile.
Zou Yu was too lazy to answer this question.
"He said that he wants to marry you because you are beautiful and you gave birth to a son for him," Xu Le looked at her expression and said seriously.
Zou Yu's delicate eyebrows suddenly raised. She was very angry.
"From this, I know that he really likes you. He wants to settle down." Xu Le didn't care about her expression. He continued to smile and said, "Maybe you think that this logic is very strange, but in fact, this theory of falling in love was taught to me by him."
"He once said that men only become stupid and clumsy in front of the person they really like. Only then will they use this kind of stupid male animal language in front of their friends to hide their feelings of love."
"You should know that he can be said to be the most flirtatious man in the Federation. So I believe that the sweet words from his mouth can be repeated in three million words, and can charm countless women. Even the most sincere oath of love, he can repeat it countless times before he goes to bed with a strange woman. "
"But only when it comes to you, there is no such thing, only a clumsy cover up. At that moment, even a guy like me has grasped the biggest weakness of this Saint of Flowers. "
"In the past, I was definitely on his side. Now, I'm standing between the two of you. If he was still the old him, I wouldn't have persuaded you to be together. But now, I feel that it's necessary for me to introduce him to you again."
