The same story, when told by different people, would naturally have a completely different plot structure and melodramatic creation. The most secretive and, in fact, most influential story at the end of the thirty-six constitutional calendars was no exception in this regard.
— — The Great Teacher from the Empire arrived at the Federation at the same time as the research spaceship of the Federation, or even earlier. From then on, countless magnificent, melodramatic, messy, tear-streaked, and crazy scenes were created.
The genius master named Hua Jieyu was one of the genius students, Feng Yu. Of course, he was probably not named Feng Yu. He never mentioned these things to the ignorant apprentices beside the mine, but Xu Le once heard Huai Caoshi mention some memory fragments. The white-clothed, bare-legged artistic figure also told this story. Whether it was the princess of the Empire or the Great Teacher, the angle they chose to tell this story was naturally completely different from the main character of today's story.
The following was the story told by the most famous student of the former master of the Empire, Fan Hua Jieyu, and also the most hated man in the Empire. He was also the most irreplaceable military god of the Federation, Li Pifu.
At that time, we were still very young. We didn't know which space that black-haired, black-eyed young man who was not much older than us fell from. We only knew that he taught us some very strange things, and then we found out that he was actually from the Empire.
What is the Empire? When the research spaceship of the Federation was blown to pieces by the cannons of the Empire? Because of political reasons, we didn't know. Even if we did, we were still young and couldn't have too much hatred for the Empire.
Being too young is not an excuse, but a fact.
Speaking of which, I have to mention another student of my teacher. He is my brother, your teacher. You are used to calling him uncle, but you should know that he has many identities. In fact, just like me, who is about to be engraved on a tombstone for people to consume, his name is not very important. As for me, I still call him Li Pifu, just like when I was young, I always call him Li Yu.
After talking about Li Yu, let's go back to this era, a story so long ago that even I feel that it is a bit vague.
It seemed to him that our teacher was a pacifist traveller, who had taken a fanciful trip to the stars out of curiosity.
I admit I was curious, but not pacifist, especially when, many years later, I learned that the seed plan had come from his brain.
"I don't know how many years my teacher traveled in the Federation, how many places he went, how many people he met, why he stayed in the wildlife sanctuary in Philadelphia and taught us for so many years. I only know that he lived a good life in those years. I even forgot that he was from the Empire.
However, the war still broke out in the end. Teacher took us to the Empire in a spaceship, and we spent a very strange time in the Empire.
In fact, I have to admit that in the future battles, the 17th Division would be able to achieve more feats than the other Federation troops, and this is all thanks to this. I have been to the Empire, and I know about the Empire. My teacher taught me many things about the Empire.
There was one more thing that he had to admit. In the Federation in the future, Li Yu was able to successfully develop the blue light instrument that his teacher had first proposed, and finally successfully use the spaceship's reference chip to successfully create the camouflage chip, all because of his teacher's teachings.
"But we are from the Federation.
The Federation and the Empire are at war. We are orphans in the Empire, and if we leave, we are also orphans wandering the universe. I don't like wandering, I don't like the Empire.
There is only love and hate when there is comparison. When you live in the Federation and the Empire, you should know very well which side is more suitable for human life.
"But my brother is different. He can't find a home for himself, an ideal place that doesn't even exist. He loathes Charter for watching his every move. He loathes those families hidden behind the history of the Federation. He is too conceited and even a little narcissistic. He thinks that he can change some of this.
He was a genius. He solved the problems that my teacher couldn't solve. He didn't need to pretend to be a returnee from Bermuda. He could play any role he wanted.
But at that time, the conflict didn't escalate because it was only a difference in philosophy. It didn't involve something as important as life and death.
Schiller once said that in this world, other than life and death, everything else is irrelevant. I lived for 88 years before I gradually understood the true meaning of this sentence.
The story became more and more intense. It was also a story of life and death.
Where should this story begin?
It should start from when I returned to the Federation.
As I said before, I am from the Federation. The Federation is at war with the Empire. What choice should a person from the Federation make?
…
…
The precious selenium-rich hot spring water from the foothills of Feicheng City flowed slowly through the natural water pipe made of old bamboo, through the rice paddies and the fish ponds. It passed through the green walls of the courtyard and quietly entered from the corner of the eaves. It then converged into the seven or eight square meters coarse stone pool. The hot steam flowed slowly like a white dragon, rising from all directions and filling the room with blurred vision. It was like the so-called truth from many years ago.
There were very few people who were qualified to enter this manor by the Lake of Feicheng City. Over the years, only the madam of Mochou Back Mountain was qualified to enter this manor. But that madam must have taken off her clothes and entered the bath naked. Therefore, thinking that he was the only one who had the honor to enter this pool, Xu Le began to feel a little nervous. As a person from the Federation, it was an honor to be able to share a hot spring with the Military God.
An ordinary military green towel was tightly wrapped around his right hand, causing white foam to form from the friction. Xu Le held the old man's thin shoulder with one hand, while his right hand steadily and forcefully wiped the old man's back in front of him. The old man's wrinkled and lifeless skin had disappeared. Looking at the old man's thin body in front of him, he didn't know why, but he felt extremely sad.
"I am also a person from the Federation."
After hearing the old man's question, Xu Le lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he put his right hand into the hot spring and continued to wipe the old man's back. He answered seriously, "In that case, of course, you should choose to join the army to resist the invasion."
Li Pifu, who was soaking naked in the hot spring, no longer had the heroic image of the Military God in the Federation's propaganda film. He was just an ordinary dry old man. His silver hair was wet and tangled by the spring water, which made him look even more embarrassed.
The old man coughed painfully for a few times and then said in a hoarse voice,
"I also thought so at that time."
…
…
The story after that was actually a bit lackluster in the first few decades. Do you understand the meaning of the phrase 'lackluster'? It's probably a shortened version of the Federation's proverb. I'm used to saying this because there are similar words in the Empire's language that my teacher taught me back then. Speaking of my teacher again, because in the next few decades, my teacher, no, Empire's Master Fan Hua Jieyu, has been helping the two emperors of the Empire invade the Federation. There's not much I can do either. I joined the army and started as a normal soldier in the 17th Mechanic Division. Squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, and all the way to division commander …
I've never been a deputy commander. This fact sometimes made me feel proud in the military camp, but sometimes when I thought about how this pride was only taught to me by someone from the Empire, my pride would often turn into mockery.
So I worked even harder, or rather, fought even harder. On the frontlines, on the battlefield, in the rear, and in my interactions with those politicians, I hid all my shortcomings and hid all my loopholes, all for the sake of standing at a higher position and having more power to completely dispel that mockery.
Back then, the Federation was in a very dangerous situation.
Very dangerous.
In the West Woods, in the Empire's Star Region, I also encountered many dangers. Then, I did the most dangerous thing, and that was, at the critical moment of a great defeat, I counterattacked like a madman and killed the Empire's emperor.
Xu Le, you've also been crazy before. You know that this kind of thing often relies on luck.
My luck back then was pretty good.
I fought many battles in the army, and many of my comrades and subordinates died. I thought that the Federation had also contributed a lot, but it couldn't compare to this at all.
It seems that I, Li Pifu, have only done one thing in my life: killing the Empire's emperor.
This is really boring.
…
…
"No one has ever dared to think that an M37 thousands of miles to assassinate the Empire's emperor … is just boring." Xu Le lowered his head and rubbed the old man's back. He muttered in a low voice with great disapproval, "If this is considered boring, then can't you let me be bored a few more times?"
"Little brat, killing is just a means." Li Pifu comforted him with a hoarse voice and said, "What humans need is often the result."
"Of course, the result that time was pretty good. This has to do with luck."
"But from another perspective, my luck back then wasn't that good."
"Because when my eyes turned red, I forgot about life and death, forgot about the flying trajectories around my mecha, forgot about those screaming Empire's mechas, and even forgot that my name was Li Pifu. I only knew that when I was smashing the middle-aged man under the Black Hibiscus flag into minced meat, I didn't notice that Master Fan of the Empire was also beside him."
"His name was Hua Jieyu, and he was my teacher. He taught me a strange ability that made my whole body tremble. Many years later, I used this ability to kill him."
"My teacher was a very beautiful black-haired man. He had a pair of eyes that spun faster than the stars. But at the last moment, the moment before he died, those eyes that were staring at me through the screen didn't even turn."
In the hot pool, the God of War Li Pifu slowly told the story of killing his teacher. Although his voice was as calm as usual, his skinny body suddenly froze. The ripples on the surface of the hot spring instantly became calm.
Xu Le's right hand that was rubbing his back also froze.
