In this moment of twilight, Xu Le thought of many scenes from the past.
He watched her on TV, he cried in the woods of Hexi State, he went to her concert, and he thought that it was the most beautiful dream that had appeared before his eyes. He suddenly remembered that he did not meet her before the victory concert, but during that earlier concert filled with slaughter. After that, they became familiar with each other until they went on a blind date.
In every similar scene, he would always think of many scenes from the past. It was not that the art appraisal in the library of Hexi State University had really cultivated a strong artistic style, but that those scenes were too deep in his mind.
Let's get married.
What was very interesting was that in the countless scenes that Xu Le, who was not an artistic youth, suddenly and forcefully wedged into the image of that white-robed, bare-legged, ultra-literary middle-aged man — for the peace, love, and justice of the universe, you have to be together. Be together, Master Fan of the Empire once said.
Squinting at the colorful flowers blooming on the wall of the marriage registration office, Xu Le gently hugged Jian Shui'er, letting the warm embrace melt into the twilight.
…
…
The barbecue stall on the streets of Wangdu was filled with the smell of chives and bean rolls. The cheap black market stall had three extremely out of place bottles of expensive Wenjun No. 1. The amber liquor rippled in the glasses, just like the clumsy and confused expression that Xu Le could not suppress at this moment.
Xiong Linquan and a few other team members were silently eating dinner at a nearby table. They looked up from time to time, but did not sit over, because Zou Yu was sitting at this table.
"And then?" Zou Yu had clearly drunk a lot. Her beautiful face was flushed. She narrowed her eyes at Xu Le and asked, "Did you guys register?"
"No, this matter was too sudden." Xu Le answered very seriously, "I promised her that after this matter was settled, we would immediately get married."
"That hooligan must be very happy that you finally got the most famous woman in the Federation." Zou Yu looked at her slender fingers and said, "I've never had a problem with your messy love life, as long as you don't marry that disgusting Zhang Xiaomeng."
She raised her head and looked at him with slight ridicule. "What about Shang Qiu and Nan Xiangmei?"
Xu Le stared at the wine glass in front of him. Suddenly, he grabbed it and drained it in one gulp. Stimulated by the alcohol, he frowned and muttered to himself, "I'm only one person. The Federation is not like Bermuda, where I can casually marry a few more."
Zou Yu frowned and looked at him. Her nose moved slightly as if he was a smelly stone in a septic tank. She said sarcastically, "You are not making a choice, but avoiding a choice. Although the effect is the same, you are not f * cking manly enough. Take that national girl for example. She actually asked the girl to take the initiative to propose."
"Are you a man?" She also drained the wine in her glass in one gulp and mocked, "Now that I think about it, that guy was actually more manly than you. Before he died, he still remembered the women he had messed with."
Xu Le wanted to argue about who was more manly, the playboy Shi Qinghai and a useless guy like himself. He just felt that the way Zou Yu promoted Nan Xiangmei just now was very similar to the way Little Watermelon promoted Shang Qiu in the old mansion in the second latitude district of Sunset Province.
Suddenly, a little boy's sharp cursing voice came from the table next to them. Zou Liuhuo was probably not used to the smell of the barbecue stall in the night market. He was desperately twisting his body in the arms of the nanny, crying and cursing as he kicked his legs, leaving several footprints on the nanny's clothes.
Xu Le's face was a little ugly. He looked at Zou Yu and said, "Why is he so bad-tempered?"
"Stubborn, proud, violent and cold. Naturally, he inherited it from his evil young mother," Zou Yu replied self-deprecatingly.
"I spent too much time on the front line. I really didn't expect you to teach him to be like this." Xu Le said with a sullen face, "You'd better control him, or else I really can't help but beat him up."
"It's normal for little boys to be naughty. They're still young. They'll be fine when they grow up."
"When Zhong Huoyan was five years old, he already knew how to follow me in the ventilation tunnel without saying a word. Temperament has nothing to do with age."
Zou Yu stared at him coldly and said, "This is my son. I'd like to see who dares to beat him up."
"From a biological and legal point of view, he has two fathers. Now that one of them is dead, if I don't discipline him, who will?" Xu Le paused for a moment and said self-deprecatingly, "I remember the scene when I bumped into you and your sister in front of the nightclub in Linhai province … I don't want Liu Huo to be beaten into a pig's head by the second Shi Qinghai in the future."
"I hope he's the second Shi Qinghai."
Zou Yu frowned and slowly lowered her head. Then she raised her head and drank another glass of wine.
Xu Le looked at her quietly. Suddenly, he said to the little boy who was struggling and crying at the table next to them, "If you don't listen to me, I'll beat you to death."
His voice wasn't loud, and his attitude didn't look very fierce. But strangely, children were probably like animals and were naturally sensitive to real danger …
Zou Liuhuo stared blankly at the uncle who was sitting with his mother. He immediately pursed his lips and let his snot drip down. He didn't even dare to make a sound of sobbing.
The nanny looked at Xu Le gratefully.
…
…
The little boy didn't know whether it was because he was too tired from crying or because he was scared by Xu Le. He hugged the nanny's neck tightly and fell asleep. The wind-proof lights on the barbecue stall in the night market gave off a faint glow to the surrounding leaves. It felt warm and somewhat like a scene in a movie.
"Jian Shui'er's idea makes sense. But it's impossible for both sides to stop. I have to send all of them to prison before I can complete the task that the hooligan gave me."
Zou Yu glanced at him and said, "I originally thought that with your personality, you would directly rush into the military headquarters in a military mecha and blow up Lee Jae-do."
"I promised the War God, I promised Mr. President, I promised your father, and I also promised Shi Qinghai over the phone. Although he couldn't hear me at the time … I will do my best to protect myself while destroying the enemy."
After a moment of silence, Xu Le said, "I still don't have much confidence in the Federation's laws. But after what he did on Parliament Hill, the supporters of the radical faction in the military have been pretty much wiped out. As long as Mr. President can control the situation, the judicial process can continue."
"Do you really think that someone like Lee Jae-do … who hid for more than a decade and used only a few months to easily take over the legacy his father left in the military and firmly control two and a half military regions and nearly a hundred divisions, like Lee Jae-do, can really be brought to court by the judicial process?"
"The military is ultimately the Federation's military. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is not the President of the Federation. This is the capital, not a battlefield. Whether it is from the perspective of the law or public opinion, Lee Jae-do has too many inherent shortcomings. "
"If he really dares to instigate a coup in the military, how many of those troops will listen to him and stand against the elected government and Mr. President? Those generals and normal soldiers won't have the courage to face the spirit of the Constitution in order to satisfy his ambition and his seemingly hot-blooded slogans. "
"If it is a war against the Empire, the person who has the military is undoubtedly the most powerful. But in the internal struggle of the Federation, that is not completely the case. Just like right now, Lee Jae-do really wants me dead, but he can only assassinate me. He can't order the 17th Division to surround this block and directly bombard me and my team members into pieces of meat with cannonballs. "
"How exactly are you going to cooperate with Mr. President's plan?" Zou Yu looked at him quietly. Her watery eyes were tinged with faint worry. "If it is really as you said, and the President is in a very difficult situation, then the difficult situation can become dangerous at any time. What can you do after the danger knocks on the door of the Youth Apartment?"
"Bai Yulan said that my greatest strength is that I am good at simplifying complicated things. But right now, the Federation's situation can't be simplified. In your eyes, forcibly returning from the West Woods and holding this press conference in the afternoon seems more like nonsense to vent my anger. In fact, I have my own plan. "
"Tomorrow, the evidence of Vice President Byron and Lee Jae-do's involvement in the case of the Ancient Bell will appear on the Internet to create a stir. You know, now the civilian Internet of the Federation has been turned into a sh * t pit by those demons raised by the capitalists. It has no credibility in the hearts of the people, and it may even be directly regarded as a scam or a dark fantasy novel. But it is good to be able to create a stir first. "
"Then, Chief Editor Bob and Reporter Wood will choose the right time to release the relevant information. With the credibility of the Capital Special District Daily News, I think this storm will be bigger this time."
"The Ministry of Justice and the relevant departments, as well as the civilian agencies in the building of the Ministry of National Defense, are still under the control of the official residence. When the Federation begins to stir up a stir, Mr. President will have sufficient reason to either reauthorize me or authorize the Ministry of Justice to continue investigating the case of the Ancient Bell. I think even Parliament Hill will be on our side at that time."
"At that time, it will be General Lee Jae-do's turn to make a difficult decision. Should he wait for the investigation to end or fight to the death? Yes, he will definitely choose the latter, and I will also wait for him to choose the latter. "
Xu Le looked at Zou Yu, whose eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter, and explained in a low voice, "I am not good at political schemes. I will only force them to take action. I will keep an eye on the slightest change in the troops that Lee Jae-do can command. As long as they really do take action, I will stop them and get all the evidence in my hands."
"With this arrangement, the turmoil in the Federation can be controlled, and as long as I stay in the official residence, the most important thing, the safety of Mr. President, can be perfectly guaranteed."
Zou Yu frowned and held her chin. She suddenly felt that the knowledge she had learned over the years and the judgment and analysis ability that helped Xu Le before were all very funny.
"This is an idiot's logical deduction." At this moment, in her eyes, Xu Le really looked like an idiot. She said sarcastically, "You said a lot of nonsense, but the most important thing is the word 'stop'. How can you stop the fully armed Federal forces?"
"And the safety of Mr. President, how can you guarantee it?" Zou Yu spread her hands and stared at him angrily. "Do you think you are the great creator who can turn thousands of armored vehicles and mechas into scrap metal with just a few words?"
Yes, according to the Charter of the Federation, President Pabre could easily control the army, as long as the army did not have its own thoughts. But now, the key was that the army had the most invincible armed force in the universe and had started to have its own thoughts. Who could stop all this?
Xu Le raised his wine glass to toast the worried girl in red. He thought to himself that he could indeed turn thousands of armored vehicles, mechas, and even battleships into scrap metal. With the support of The Glory Of The Charter, a certain someone could do anything … but do I have to tell you this?
