Because in the eyes of all the people of the federation, especially the men of the federation, especially the male soldiers of the federation, all the people of the empire, especially the men of the empire, especially the men of the empire who had a certain fighting strength, were stupid or useless beasts full of rustic flavor. Because of the similar reasons described in reverse, it was easy to imagine that the welcome ceremony on the tarmac of the Changfeng Military Base was actually hiding too many swords and the most complicated greetings with dirty words under the surface of jubilation and warmth.
Although the men of the Empire who walked off the battleship were said to be from some underground resistance organization and had been fighting with the Empire's royal army for hundreds of years, they were still from the Empire. This reason was enough to make the Federation people on the tarmac feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts. Even if they tried to hide it, their expressions and actions couldn't help but become stiff.
"Don't fight, at least in front of the news reporters, don't fight."
Xu Le said softly to the excited and bloodthirsty brigade brigade commander beside him. He didn't have any expression on his face, and his tone wasn't very strong either. However, after the brigade commander was stunned for a moment, he immediately became more obedient. As the most loyal military officer of the Zhong family, he had to show absolute obedience to Xu Le because he was the guardian of his little princess.
"We are not here to fight."
Mr. Mu En, the leader of the Empire's underworld from the Tianjing planet, smiled as he took the flowers from the beautiful little girl. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead uncomfortably and said to Xu Le in a low voice, "Also, I am not used to this kind of situation."
"I didn't expect you to learn the Federation language so well." Xu Le shrugged and said, "Since your organization chose you to be the negotiation representative, you have to learn to endure the necessary procedures, such as the welcome ceremony."
"My Federation language isn't as good as your Empire language. Speaking of which, I always thought that your aristocratic accent was too proper, like the nobles in the palace."
Mu En laughed and put his arm around Xu Le's shoulder without any hesitation. He walked towards the red carpet and waved his arm in front of the reporters' passionate flashes.
"I'm only good at running smuggling routes and casinos. The organization asked me to be the negotiator because I'm already registered in the Royal Intelligence Department, so I'm not afraid of being exposed. In addition, in order to show our sincerity, I originally planned to invite Comrade Qi Dabing over, but I was worried that the two of you would fight again. "
"Did Qi Dabing take over?"
"The temporary representative meeting will be held in three months. Right now, he is learning and familiarizing himself with the work."
"Why would I wave my fist at the future leader of the underground resistance?" Xu Le said without much sincerity. Then, he looked at Mu En's neck and said in a low voice, "If it's very hot, do you need to hold me so tightly?"
Mr. Mu En didn't seem to hear Xu Le's words at all. He put on a sincere smile and hugged Xu Le's shoulder tightly, showing his passion and his very good personal relationship with Colonel Xu Le to the reporters of the Federation.
The photo area flashed again and again. Even the dazzling light in the blue sky above their heads dimmed under the contrast of the sun. Xu Le narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, a slightly bitter smile appeared on his lips. He said in a low voice, "I know what you're thinking, and I also know what you need. But there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?" Mr. Mu En looked forward and forced himself to forget the underworld aura in his bones. He waved his arms at a uniform speed like a politician.
"I've already lost my power." Xu Le also looked forward and said with a smile, "Some very powerful people can destroy me at any time. And I came to the West Woods to see you because I was purged by the government."
Mu En's arm that was holding Xu Le stiffened. A moment later, he laughed out loud and patted Xu Le's back. He said in a deep voice, "It's even better if you lose. Then we can just drink a few cups."
"I can hear the sound of your crying in your heart." Xu Le mocked.
Mr. Mu En shrugged gently and said with a smile, "Leader Wise thinks highly of you, and so do I. You will get back on your feet. Besides, according to the information from Bermuda, the organization confirmed that you are the successor of Army God Li Pifu. We don't have to worry about anything."
"It seems that you definitely didn't receive the latest information."
"What?"
"Army God is seriously ill."
"This is really shocking news." Mu En frowned and looked at him. "Then why are you still here?"

The beautiful sunlight shone through the sparse big leaf maples. The edges of this Cillin's special Big Leaf Maple were sharp, so even though the leaves were sparse, they were still able to cut the sunlight into countless oddly shaped shadows. The flickering spots between the shadows covered the grassy slopes and the woodland behind the base.
Xu Le lay on the grass and squinted at the magical light spots in the blue sky. He fell into a long silence. The orderlies in the distance looked at him with confusion. They probably didn't understand why the plenipotentiary of the government didn't care about the members of the resistance group after throwing them into the hotel. Instead, he snuck to the back of the base and stared blankly.
What was more important than negotiation? Was staring blankly into space a happy thing? Obviously, Xu Le didn't think so, because he was very sad at the moment. Maybe it was because the light spots burned his retina or something else, but there were traces of sparkling water in his squinted eyes, and a trace of it slid down the corner of his right eye.
On the red carpet of the welcome ceremony, in the cheerful military music, and under the excited photo-taking of the reporters, a line of white symbols appeared in Xu Le's left pupil. In the friendly memorandum with the Federal Central Computer, there was a rule that forbade the old thing from entering his brain without permission. But today's matter was a special condition that he had agreed on in advance. The line of silent symbols read:
Citizen number: SLAA 3218971 … Li Pifu, information node interrupted, announced death.
When he saw the line of words in his left eye, the sun was shining brightly and the sound of gongs and drums filled the sky. However, he felt extremely cold, and the muscles on his back subconsciously tightened.
Except for the people saluting in the room in Philadelphia, Xu Le should be the first person in the entire universe to know this news. He couldn't tell anyone else, and he couldn't reveal his true feelings, so he silently left the hotel in the base and went to the grassland under the maple forest to stare blankly into space.
This feeling was a little strange. He had learned of a major event that would definitely shake the universe, but he had no way of telling others about his shock and sorrow. This was Xilin's Sunset Province, and the people of Xilin respected him. However, they were not his people like Group Seven, so he had no one to talk to. This was probably the so-called frustration and helplessness.
He picked up the military encrypted phone and dialed a number. After waiting for a long time, Xu Le was surprised to find that the call was connected. The voice on the other side of the phone was warm and charming, and it was very chaotic.
"Hey! Shi Tou, I heard that you were assigned to the West Woods. Why are you calling me? " Shi Qinghai, who was obviously drunk, shouted loudly on the other side of the phone. Then he heard a woman's exaggerated laughter.
"I've called you many times just to remind you not to investigate that matter yourself, do you understand? This is a very serious warning. Also, you motherf * cker … "Xu Le thought for a moment, but in the end, he swallowed back the expletives and the intention to ask. Looking at the blue sky above his head that was divided into pieces, he said calmly with a smile," How are you now? "
"Very good." Shi Qinghai laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous? By the way, I feel that you are not in a good mood, and your voice is slippery. What happened? "
"Nothing."
Xu Le sat up on the grass and struggled to pull out the crushed cigarette box from his trouser pocket. He took out a 37 brand cigarette and stared at the cigarette for a long time. When the cigarette finally fit between his fingers, he put it to his mouth and lit it with satisfaction.
There was a long silence. Shi Qinghai on the other side of the phone didn't urge him, but waited patiently.
Xu Le blew out the spicy smoke from his lungs from his mouth and nose. After a short pause, he said slowly into the phone, "Someone died."
On the other side of the phone was a nightclub with blurred lights and the smell of liquor and soft drugs.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Qinghai was silent for a while. Then he picked up the glass of amber liquid and smiled charmingly at the woman with slightly square eyes. He said, "Is prison work always so boring?"
"Are you interested in my work?" The woman looked at him curiously. Then she rubbed her hands uneasily and explained with a forced smile, "I always thought that no one would be interested in female prison guards. After all, we deal with vicious criminals every day. Life is really boring."
"What an old-fashioned view." Shi Qinghai drank the liquor in the glass.
"It seems that our era has never really changed." The woman took a sip of the liquor sadly and looked at him with concern. She said, "Don't drink too fast."
"You should drink this." Shi Qinghai gently turned the empty glass in his hand and said in a daze, "Because an era is over."

"I know that the frontline troops need the cooperation of these Empire people, so I can make concessions in the arms supply. Attitude? My attitude is very good. The photos in the West Woods Military Observation published yesterday can prove it. The question now is not how to negotiate, but why do I have to stay to negotiate? "
The Department of Defense arranged a special office for Xu Le in the famous Golden Star Hotel in Sunset State. Outside the window was the beautiful silver beach. But today, when he looked at the blue sea and blue sky outside the window, he couldn't feel at ease. He couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about what those people did.
"Mr. Minister, if the funeral is scheduled for next month, then I have no reason not to go back. You want me to stay in the West Woods? I need an explanation. If I'm not satisfied with this explanation, I don't think anyone can stop me from going back to attend the funeral. "
