Decades ago, even in the last Constitutional Calendar, an ordinary private spaceship swayed alone through countless stars and dust, through the complex and dangerous space channel of the Night Scorpion Nebula, and mistakenly entered a completely unfamiliar galaxy. Somehow, it avoided the omnipresent The Glory Of The Charter and came to the Federation, which had been in peace for thousands of years. It was so quiet that it was about to decay.
At that time, the Federation, the first generation of anti-government forces without any political program had just taken shape in the Green Dragon Mountain. The leader of Nanshui had not been born yet, and "he" should not have been born yet. This group of workers who escaped from factories in the four states around the mountains only had wrenches and heavy loading machines in their hands, and other weapons in their hands.
At that time, the Federation, the seven thousand-year-old families gradually hid their huge bodies behind the scenes of the historical truth. The government and the Management Committee became stronger and stronger, and the strength of the Federal military was as scattered and weak as it had been in the past tens of thousands of years. Because there was no enemy, the West Mountain Compound was a forgotten corner of the people.
At that time, the Federation was a peaceful society. People enthusiastically praised the countless different styles of Master Schiller's plays, and were content to find excitement from those bizarre and strange stories to pass the time of their stagnant lives. At the same time, they also balanced the boredom caused by years of eating synthetic protein meat.
At that time, in the Federation, the Zhong family controlled the fourth military region in the West Woods, carefully keeping a distance from the Federation government. In the more distant East Woods Region, the lack of crystal resources forced the enterprises under the Tai family to increase the speed of excavation in the deep crust of the earth. From time to time, uncontrollable mining accidents accompanied by small earthquakes occurred in this troubled land.
A spaceship from the Empire quietly landed in such a Federation. The young man walked out of the spaceship curiously and excitedly looked at everything new around him. There was a small device in his jacket pocket that kept emitting faint blue light.
The young man from the Empire hid his identity, avoiding the glory of the Charter and wandering or traveling in the Federation. No one knew where he went and how long he stayed. They could only guess that at some point in time, he saw two young boys under the reflection of the snow mountain in a place called Feicheng, a place that had now been designated as a forbidden area by the Federation government.
The two boys' surnames were Li.
The young man from the Empire was pleasantly surprised to find that the two boys could actually sense Qi. For some reason that no one knew, he chose to stay in a foreign and incomprehensible city to personally educate the two boys.
Many years later, the young man from the Empire became a middle-aged man with a green beard. Homesick, he returned to his hometown.
Many years later, the flames of war between the Federation and the Empire continued. After a night of painful psychological struggle, the two brothers chose a completely different direction in life.
Because the way they treated war and the way they treated their teacher was completely different from the way they treated betrayal of kindness, these two equally brilliant and moving brothers had an intense quarrel and even a fight. Their palms fell down, their teeth bit their tongues, and they were shaken to the ground with blood. Ever since then, they had fallen out.
The elder brother wiped away his pained expression and changed his name to join the military. He entered the First Military Region as a seventeen mechanic. He wore a military uniform and piloted a mechanical suit, beginning a dazzling career as a military god.
The younger brother wiped away his lonely expression and quietly disappeared into the sea of people. From then on, the Federation had one less mechanical genius, but the Capital University had one more historical and political scientist. After a few years of blankness, the Federation society had gained many more extraordinary characters.
When the Federal Army entered the Empire's territory, a fierce battle broke out. Li Pifu rushed thousands of miles. That black M37 mecha was on the verge of collapse. Like a bolt of lightning, it blasted into the depths of the Empire's military camp that was heavily protected by countless Empire's Royal Mecha, causing an explosion that changed the direction of the battle.
The explosion stirred up a cloud of dust. The Emperor of the Empire fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief. Beside him, an old man looked at the approaching shadow of the mecha with a complicated and inexplicable gaze until it was reduced to ashes.
This old man had once been young. He had once traveled the universe. He had once taught two little boys in a puzzling city in the Federation. Many years later, he had inexplicably died at the hands of one of the little boys.
At that time, in the dimly lit cockpit of the mecha, what kind of expression would Li Pifu have on his face?
After knowing this, what kind of expression would Feng Yu have on his face?
After a few more years, Li Pifu, who had already become the Federation's military god, led the Federal Army in a large-scale attack on the Empire. However, because of that strange explosion, all of his previous efforts had been wasted. What did this have to do with Feng Yu's expression back then?
Was this how the number one wanted criminal of the Federation, the number one traitor of the Empire, was trained?
…
…
In the blood-red twilight, Xu Le, bound by restraints, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. His face full of red and swollen wounds looked somewhat comical, but at this moment, it was shrouded in a layer of seriousness and even solemnity.
Ink painting needed to be left blank. Life also needed blank. Huai Caoshi had told an extremely simple story, but his mind automatically filled in the blanks left behind. Countless scenes flashed before his eyes like they were real. He was inexplicably shocked, and his heart was filled with endless emotions.
What was history? This was true history. Those secret scrolls of the magnificent era gradually unfolded before his eyes. Moreover, these scrolls were also related to him. How could he not be moved?
Under the twilight palace walls, there was a long silence.
Huai Caoshi quietly looked at the luster on his face, experiencing the emotions in his heart at this moment. She suddenly felt a faint emotion in her heart.
"The ex … Great Teacher, he must be an extraordinary person."
A hoarse voice finally broke the silence on the palace walls. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the conspicuous white courtyard in the distant commoner district. Someone who could enter the Federation alone and avoid The Glory Of The Charter was obviously not simple. What was even more frightening was that he was actually able to teach Li Pifu and Uncle Feng Yu, these two terrifying powerhouses.
Huai Caoshi didn't answer with her hands behind her back. In the eyes of the Empire's royal family, those fellows from the Great Teacher Fan Manor never needed to be suspected.
"But I still have a question. There is no way to find the answer from this story." Xu Le turned his head with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why does your father hate Nasri so much?"
Huai Caoshi slowly closed her slightly narrowed eyes. In the gradually cooling night wind, she pondered for a long time. She thought about the anger her father had when he launched the attack on the West Woods, the anger today, that Federation national girl and the metal bracelet on her wrist …
"I don't know." She paused for a moment and suddenly said, "The Empire's royal family has been connected by marriage with the Great Teacher Fan Manor for generations. My mother is the youngest daughter of the former Great Teacher Fan … but I heard that she died many years ago."
Vaguely, Xu Le always felt that Huai Caoshi's words revealed a trace of quiet emotion, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it.
The setting sun in the distance fell a little lower, but the sunset in the sky was a little thicker. The twilight on the palace walls was even thicker. He looked at Huai Caoshi's pair of black eyebrows that were about to completely burn on her delicate face and said, "Thank you for telling me this before I die. Yes, and thank you for telling me those secrets on the spaceship, although it seems that I can't win this bet."
Thinking of the bet with Xu Le without words, Huai Caoshi's eyebrows raised slightly, and she smiled but didn't say anything.
When it was time to say goodbye to each other, the two of them were the best of the younger generation in the federation and the Imperium. They were destined to be enemies who could not live under the same sky, but they had fought together, escaped together, and talked to each other.
"After you die, I might be even lonelier. This is indeed a regret." Huai Caoshi narrowed her eyes and said calmly.
"You won't be lonely for too long." Xu Le understood what she meant. He also narrowed his eyes and looked at the sunset on the horizon. He said with a difficult smile, "In the future, you will meet a guy called Li Feng. He's younger than you and me, but when it comes to mecha combat, he's actually stronger than me."
"The legendary Madman Li? With your endorsement, I don't think I'll be too disappointed. " Huai Caoshi said expressionlessly, "But I regret that I can't fight with you. After you die, it'll probably be difficult to find another partner in this universe who can fight with me."
"Yes, the feeling of fighting side by side with Sang Shuhai is really not bad." Xu Le paused for a moment and then smiled. "But the question is, if we work together, who has the right to be our enemy?"
"No one. Humanity has never encountered a truly hostile intelligent species in the universe. "
Huai Caoshi suddenly raised the hand behind her back and stretched lazily in the twilight. She said calmly, "… so we can only fight with ourselves."
"We're all humans. Both sides know this very well."
"But neither side will admit it unless one side completely defeats the other."
"Why bother?" Xu Le shook his head.
"Our generation probably doesn't have the wisdom to solve this problem. Let's leave it to future generations." Huai Caoshi also shook her head.
The twilight was as red as blood. Huai Caoshi looked at his tragic face and nodded slightly. "Goodbye."
"I understand. This means we'll meet again in the next life." Xu Le smiled and nodded.
…
…
Huai Caoshi stood on the wall and watched the back of that figure being escorted away by the Empire's soldiers. Her brows slowly furrowed.
This fellow who clearly knew he was going to die did not have the slightest trace of madness. He was actually so curious about the past. After knowing the answer, he was so satisfied and smiled so sincerely. Unless one had a pure heart that had been washed by the clear spring of the snowy mountains for a thousand years, who else could do this?
Watching that figure disappear into the twilight, she suddenly thought of the words engraved on the stone wall of Great Master Fan's manor: The future of those with pure hearts is boundless.
She had spent her childhood and the first few years of her adolescence in Great Master Fan's manor. She had never liked these words with a sour and literary tone. She had silently cursed them countless times, but today, she suddenly felt that these words were somewhat reasonable. It was indeed easy for pure people to become strong.
She stood in the night wind on the palace wall, silently thinking for a long time. Only when the twilight completely disappeared and the darkness enveloped the houses and the white courtyard did she slowly raise her head.
At this moment, an Imperial major ran over and heavily kneeled on the ground. With a trembling voice, he said, "Your Highness, he ran away!"
