Li Ban, an unremarkable second-class administrative planet in the vast territory of the Empire, gradually became different due to the two edicts from the Tianjing Planet a few years ago. The establishment of the Empire's special tourism zone, the exaggerated investment by the Ministry of Finance, countless nobles and wealthy merchants came to join in the fun, and the Emperor's strict implementation of the interracial education experiment made this planet the center of the Empire's discussions.
Being able to become a special tourism zone and help the Emperor justly divide the wealth of the nobles, the Li Ban Planet naturally had enough beautiful scenery. Regardless of whether it was the spectacular Crimson Hill in the western hemisphere, the fog that covered the sky of Pine Cone Ridge, or the tens of thousands of stone peaks that pierced the sky of Yellowstone, they were all rare beauties that fully demonstrated the god-like carving ability of nature.
The Li Ban Planet also had the most beautiful scenery, and that was the mulberry trees that spread across the flat plains. Tens of thousands of square kilometers of mulberry trees were artificially divided into countless work areas. The rustling of the mulberry trees when the wind blew through was breathtaking, and the quiet night was endlessly quiet.
The mulberry trees and the moth larvae that accompanied them were the most famous specialties of this planet, apart from the natural scenery and the newly built universities in the various states. Many years ago, the silk spat out by the larvae of these moth larvae became the most beloved luxury of the Empire's nobles. What was very strange was that, apart from the Li Ban Planet, there were countless planets in the Empire that were completely suitable for these delicate larvae.
The unusually expensive silk entered the Federation along with some great collision in the universe. For decades, the only goods that were qualified to take the risk and enter Bermuda with the Royal Special Forces mecha warriors was silk.
The Empire used this smuggling to seize a large amount of wealth from Bermuda and the upper echelons of the Federation. Although this wealth was far from enough to offset the Empire's military expenditure, perhaps because of some emotional and childish considerations — what we have, you don't, you have to wait for us to provide, so we are superior to you — the Empire's royal family had always condoned and even strongly supported the silk smuggling.
The Federation had tried to win this childish dispute, but the strictest wildlife protection laws and the HTD Bureau officials who liked to wear iron masks in public prevented the Federation from planting mulberry trees and using warm water to cook the white silk balls woven by the larvae …
The Federal Academy of Science had also tried to use biological methods to restructure, but without the technical support of the Bureau of Proclamation in terms of biological proteins, they found that this attempt would cost a lot of money, so they had to stop the plan and continue to buy silk underwear, silk quilts, silk bras, silk chest pads, and everything that was made of silk and hidden in private places.
…
…
Two skinny young tourists were walking on a street in the southern district of Planet Lisban. The silk clothes they were wearing were not particularly eye-catching, but compared to the local residents, it was easy to expose their identity as tourists. However, there were too many tourists on Planet Lisban these past few years, and these two people with ordinary faces would not attract much attention.
In addition to the hundreds of well-trained professional soldiers in the four blocks around them, the soldiers in charge of secret security were watching the two people's every move with a heavy expression, vigilantly watching the wind and grass in the surroundings.
These two young tourists did not look like close friends who were traveling together, because when one of them coughed uncontrollably and closed his eyes to fight back tears, the other did not show any concern at all. He continued to walk indifferently, his slightly narrowed eyes full of coldness.
…
…
Xu Le felt that his lungs were full of hot smoke, and his throat was full of red-hot gravel. It was extremely difficult to cough, and it was very uncomfortable. Half-squatting on the ground, he breathed rapidly for a long time before finally calming down the pain in his chest and abdomen. He forced himself to stand up.
The wound on his shoulder had temporarily stopped bleeding, but the strange power that the imperial officer had wedged into his body was still tormenting him incessantly, preventing him from using his power to heal his body. Like a slowly rotating rock, it kept grinding and grinding, trying to grind all of his hopes into pieces.
It was very strange. After coming to this strange imperial planet from the Red Rose Royal Spaceship, he still did not die, nor was he thrown into the dark prison where he could not see the light of day. Instead, he was temporarily free from the cruel water torture that made people wish they were dead. He began to follow the young imperial officer and enjoy the scenery on this beautiful planet.
In a few short days, he stood on the spaceship and looked down at the magnificent crimson mountains in the western hemisphere. Those waves that were nearly a hundred meters high were as thick as blood, and they swayed his hard heart up and down. He wore a breathing device that was specially used by the imperial military, and he climbed through the fog in the depths of Pine Cone Ridge for an entire night with difficulty before he finally broke through the fog. He stood on the ridge and saw the first ray of morning light. The damp morning dew moistened his painful lungs and made him feel slightly comfortable. He even tied a small jet device to his back and flew like a natural bird among the indescribably steep stone peaks of Yellowstone …
During the Tai Dynasty, prisoners would always have a good meal and drink before they died. Now that he was in the Empire, although it was also an imperial society, Xu Le did not think that these were the benefits before he died. It was too ridiculous.
He stroked his chest that seemed to have been cut by a spear tip, shook his head and exhaled. He stood up and looked at the young imperial officer who had already left more than ten meters away. He stretched out his hands and rubbed his somewhat stiff face until a few traces of indifferent smile appeared on his face. Only then did he chase after him with big strides.
On the street, a brown-haired man with messy hair was holding a little girl's hand and saying something. They were probably father and daughter because they both had a pair of beautiful sky-blue eyes, and the curve of their jawline seemed to have been carved by the same sculptor. However, for some reason, they were arguing. Some of the tattered clothes were wrinkled and torn by the big hand and the little hand. The little girl was crying.
On the right side of the back wall of a restaurant, a black dog was running quickly. Its sharp mouth held a simple and honest bone. The black dog was running very resolutely and its goal was very clear. It bypassed the beggar who was lying in the shadows and lifting his lapel to check for his next meal. It jumped over half of the broken wall and ran towards the mulberry forest in the suburbs. It was silent all the way. It probably also knew that if it shouted happily, the food would fall.
At the turn of the road in front, a person who looked like a boss wearing silk clothes was talking to a farmer. The reason why he was talking to the farmer was because the farmer with a box under his arm was getting lower and lower as he spoke. It seemed like he was about to kneel.
Beside the two people, the listless middle-aged man should be a soldier. The tourist further in front was also a soldier. The driver of the carriage that had been following behind them for half an hour was also a soldier. This seemingly peaceful street was filled with their people.
Xu Le walked behind the young military officer of the Empire. He walked silently and observed the surroundings. If he didn't know what the people of the Empire were thinking, then he shouldn't think about it anymore. His best ability was to simplify complicated things.
He simply thought of himself as a real tourist. It was rare for him to go deep into the territory of the Empire. Looking at this strange world, listening to the strange language of the people in the streets and alleys, and looking at the animal-drawn cars that surprised him, he vaguely understood why the uncle said that he was willing to wander in the universe. However, he still couldn't clearly explain this feeling.
In front of a vast sea of green mulberry trees, Huai Caoshi stopped and slowly put his hands behind his back like an old man. His cheeks were slightly raised, and he narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Where his eyes fell, the leaves of the mulberry trees were gently swaying in the wind. It seemed that he could hear the rustling sound with his sight without his ears. Rustle, rustle, rustle. It was the sound of mulberry leaves being blown by the wind, and it was also the sound of silkworms nibbling on them … A gentle smile suddenly appeared on the face of the young man with the noblest status in the empire, which had never changed. He seemed to have thought of some interesting childhood memories.
His smile gradually disappeared. Huai Caoshi only allowed the memories to occasionally flood into his mind. Occasionally, he would be moved by the four seasons, but he would immediately return to absolute calmness.
"Although I really don't understand, I still have to thank you for taking me to see so many beautiful sceneries."
Xu Le coughed twice and looked at the sea of mulberry trees in front of him in surprise. Right now, he was standing side by side with Huai Caoshi. He didn't have the consciousness of a condemned prisoner at all, and he didn't notice the anger in the eyes of the plain-clothed soldiers around him.
Huai Caoshi glanced at him coldly from the corner of his eyes. He didn't answer, but a strange light flashed through his eyes.
If there were no accidents, this Federation person beside him would be tortured to death after all of his value was squeezed out, unless he agreed to defect. He definitely didn't have any sympathy for this. He was just a little curious about Xu Le's current behavior.
The flames of war continued for decades. The Empire had captured many Federation soldiers and even high-ranking officers. Among the Federation soldiers who knew that they were going to die, some passionately scolded the Empire's Emperor, some cowardly cried and knelt on the ground to beg for their lives, some remained silent, and some pretended not to care. However, there were very few like this person who could actually immerse himself in the scenery in front of him before his death.
The Red Rose was temporarily resting, and Huai Cao Shi was like a tourist hiding in the Li Ban Star. He wasn't in a hurry to return to Tianjing Star because the political situation in the Empire had been surging with hidden waves recently. He needed to be outside the situation and help his father see the situation clearly. Furthermore, as the person involved, if he returned to Tianjing Star a day later, it would be helpful for his father to deal with the situation.
As for why he brought Xu Le along for sightseeing, there were two very simple reasons. One of them was that a dangerous person like Xu Le would not find any chance to escape only if he personally watched over him.
"I've checked your details. You seem to be a person with perfect morals, an existence similar to a saint." Huai Caoshi said with slight sarcasm, "Don't be in a hurry to reject me. Your government has been building you up according to a saint."
Huai Caoshi slowly took a few steps forward, then turned around on the mound and looked down at him. "I really want to know if you are really a saint. Would you feel ashamed or ashamed because of the morals in your heart? Would you recognize your sins before you die?"
"Sins? I'm not a person with perfect morals. When I was young, I also peeked under the skirts of female police officers. However, when it comes to sins, other than some innocent people that I accidentally killed, I would recognize them. However … "Xu Le replied," This definitely doesn't include people from the Empire. "
Huai Caoshi was expressionless and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the Empire's scenery?"
"It's very beautiful and spectacular," Xu Le replied honestly.
"You tried to invade our country and turned these beautiful scenery into a hell of war. As a Federation soldier, shouldn't you feel guilty?"
