Xu Le reached out his hand and lightly shook hands with this Empire man called Qi Dabing before quickly letting go. Although there was no explosive incident that happened when their palms touched, and there was no explosive blast of air, the two of them remained silent and calm. There was a strange atmosphere rising between their brows. They had met before.
Last year, they had met in the underground sewers outside Feng Lake. At that time, Xu Le's identity was a fugitive from the Federation who was being pursued by countless Empire troops, while Qi Dabing was an elite combat force that the Bureau of Mobility had specially recruited from the Royal Special Forces. They had suddenly met and fought fiercely. The sharp and ruthless images flashed in the dark underground sewers. In the end, Qi Dabing was no match for Xu Le. He was kicked in the chest by Xu Le and fell into the sewers.
Logically speaking, in that tense and dark environment, it was very difficult for Xu Le to remember an enemy who had fallen in front of him like so many others. However, he did remember it very clearly. This was because the combat strength this Empire officer had displayed, especially those close-combat techniques that he felt were extremely familiar with, had once given him many guesses.
"I am Xu Le. We've met before, and I think you should know who I am," said Xu Le calmly as he looked at this Empire man who gave off a dangerous feeling.
Qi Dabing's sharp gaze did not soften because of the handshake. He nodded and replied, "Last year in the underground sewers, I've seen your strength, Colonel Xu Le. I heard that you doubt the ability of the organization, so I think there is a need for you to know that the Wolf Fang outside the walls of Great Master Fan's manor … belongs to me. "
"Thank you." Xu Le could guess why the other party had suddenly brought up this matter at this time. He did not mind expressing his gratitude.
However, it was very clear that simple gratitude could not reduce Qi Dabing's wariness and resistance from who knew where. He looked coldly at Xu Le and said, "In order to enter the upper echelons of the Empire's military, I've put in many years of hard work. In order to save you, a Federation citizen, all of these efforts have turned into ashes. If, in the future, it turns out that we have not received a fair return for the price we paid, I think for your safety, it would be best for you not to return to the Empire. "
It was a very direct and obvious personal threat, but Xu Le appeared to be somewhat indifferent. In the Federation, he had long since experienced the principle that only light wind and clouds could be spouted from the barrel of a gun. Although this Empire man in front of him was very clearly an important figure in the resistance organization and had great strength … in the end, he was still just a defeated opponent. His interest in this man had actually always been in other aspects.
He glanced at Qi Dabing's wrist from the corner of his eye and saw a metal watch band. He frowned slightly.
The final light of dusk shrouded the side corridor on the second floor. The old man in the wheelchair clearly felt the tit-for-tat emotions between the two people, but he did not say anything. It was only when he saw Xu Le frown that he slowly raised his right arm and said with a smile, "I introduced you to each other because in the many years to come, you may be partners in cooperation. Even if you don't like each other, you have to accept this reality."
At this time, Mu En received a call. He glanced at Xu Le, lowered his body, and whispered a few words into the old man's ear. Then, he said goodbye and left.
Xu Le looked downstairs and saw Mu En's figure leaving the repair shop under the protection of more than ten armed subordinates. He suddenly asked, "There's no danger, right?"
"It's not convenient to find a spaceship now, but if there's anyone on this planet who can find the last spaceship, that person... must be Mu En." Old Man Worth gently stroked the wheelchair and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much."
Qi Dabing said coldly from the side, "What you need to do now is to stay here obediently and act according to our arrangements. You have to remember that any action you take without permission may cause our people to pay the price in blood."
It was obviously a very correct statement, but for some reason, when it came out of Qi Dabing's mouth, it had a spicy and hard taste, making the listener feel very depressed. It was as if they had just eaten a large piece of white meat that had been soaked in chili oil for twenty years …
However, Xu Le still had no reaction. He continued to talk to Leader Voss in a low voice, not even glancing at this proud Empire man.
Qi Dabing, who was ignored, stared at Xu Le's back, which was just inches away from him, and slowly clenched his hands that were exposed outside his sleeves.
...
...
"The resistance organization has infiltrated many people into the military and various departments over the years, but only Qi Dabing is close to the core and gradually gained the trust of the palace. This time, because of you, he was forced to be exposed, and his years of hard work were ruined. Naturally, he is in a bad mood. I hope you can understand. "
Leader Worth and Xu Le sat in the dark room. No one wanted to see a big internal conflict in the empire under the tense situation of increasingly tight search, so Qi Dabing was left outside the door.
Xu Le glanced at the contact information in his hand and roughly confirmed that if the Federation government and the empire resistance organization started to cooperate, that proud empire man called Qi Dabing would play a very important role. According to the sad feeling of the old man in front of him, that person might even become the next leader of the resistance organization.
"In the Federation, I have seen a lot of excellent spies." Shi Qinghai's beautiful face appeared in his mind. Xu Le smiled slightly, raised his head, and said, "Even the stupidest woman is much better at controlling her emotions than Qi Dabing, so I am very curious how he could hide in the empire's military for so long. I also don't understand why you dared to give him such an important mission."
"Dabing is a student of an old friend of mine. He has his reasons to be proud, and he also has the qualifications to be trusted by me and my comrades." Elder Worth's health was obviously not good, and he replied tiredly, "Maybe it's because he lost to you in the underground waterway last time. He, who has never failed in his goal of pursuing the princess, feels a little inconceivable and troubled."
"The gap between him and Huai Caoshi … is very big." Xu Le directly made his own judgment, paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "His teacher, your old friend … who is he?"
Elder Worth slowly raised his head, and there was a look of understanding in his cloudy eyes, but in the end, he just shook his head.
...
...
The other party was not willing to say, and Xu Le could not force the old man to speak by holding a knife to his neck. Some kind of annoyance and disappointment, and even a little bit of sourness, reverberated and settled in his chest, causing his mood to become gloomy.
Xu Le pushed open the door and saw Qi Dabing standing in the dim corridor. He narrowed his eyes and was no longer willing to hide his gaze. He stared directly at Qi Dabing's wrist and strode forward.
"Can I take a look at the watch you're wearing?" Xu Le stared into Qi Dabing's eyes and asked. His words seemed polite, but his attitude was tough, which was not in line with his tough personality at all.
"No." Qi Dabing stood against the wall with a contemptuous and calm attitude on his face. His right foot was relaxed on the wall, and his answer was very slow, but it seemed more tough than Xu Le.
Xu Le was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Can I know who you learned your close combat skills from?"
This time, Qi Dabing was too lazy to answer his question. He directly shook his head coldly. The range of his movement was very small, and it seemed like he was looking down on him.
Xu Le pursed his thin lips and nodded with some unknown meaning. After a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Your posture is very similar to one of my brothers, but I advise you not to do such a thing in the future, because you're not as good-looking as him, and you don't have those few strands of greasy hair in front of your forehead. Most importantly... if you were to fight on the battlefield, you would definitely be killed by him, so you don't have the right to copy such an arrogant posture."
When Qi Dabing heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. He stared at Xu Le's face that did not have any outstanding features. Although he had seen Xu Le burst out of the Fan Manor that day and already knew that this person's strength was abnormally fierce, he really did not expect that in the underground base of the resistance organization, this person from the Federation would dare to humiliate him so wantonly.
Without hesitation, Qi Dabing flipped his right arm and retracted his elbow, turning it into a whistling elbow blade, and fiercely chopped toward Xu Le's neck.
Xu Le's eyes suddenly brightened, and his left foot suddenly stomped down. If the plank under his foot was a boat, the boat might have capsized immediately. A huge force came from the bottom of his foot, and it pushed his body forward with a whistling sound. His left arm stretched out like lightning, and struck directly under Qi Dabing's armpit.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of dense muffled sounds rang out in the quiet and dim corridor. The two of them turned into two strange, twisting shadows that tried to avoid each other as they fought in the narrow space.
It was only a matter of a moment. Qi Dabing forcefully suppressed a muffled groan, took three steps back, and fell heavily to the ground. A stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Xu Le, who was expressionless and slightly lowered his head, stepped forward again with a terrifying calmness. His left hand flipped and flipped, and his right hand grabbed Qi Dabing's elbow joint. With a precise and fierce grab, he quickly took off the watch on Qi Dabing's wrist.
...
...
On a certain night last year in the underground waterway, the two of them had a fierce fight. But at that time, Xu Le had lost a lot of blood, had not recovered from his serious injuries, and was in his weakest state due to hunger and cold. At this time, although he had also been seriously injured by Huai Caoshi, his condition was much better than that time. The most important thing was that this time, it was rare for him to take the initiative to provoke him. He had prepared in advance to take the initiative to attack, and it was with a sense of resentment and depression. How could Qi Dabing be his opponent?
Qi Dabing, who was holding the wall to prevent himself from falling, looked at him with a strong sense of unwillingness and pain. His clenched left hand trembled slightly, but he maintained enough consciousness to not rush forward again.
Xu Le did not look at him at all. He just quietly looked at the watch in his palm. His eyebrows gradually furrowed, but his narrowed eyes gradually relaxed. His expression was a little strange.
