The entire world was shocked. Then, before the psychological impact caused by this matter, not a single federal citizen would be in a good mood. Only the federal government would be able to shake off the previous stormy environment in an instant and come to the blazing warmth of the sun.
The official residence that held the initiative did not use this opportunity to launch an attack on the hostile forces of the capital ring. Instead, by releasing Shang Qiu and Zou Yu, he vaguely expressed his attitude to all parties. During the war with the Empire, the Federation could allow internal disputes and even internal strife, but it was not allowed to cause a full-scale conflict.
This was the great reconciliation technique that Mr. President was best at. He was used to doing it beautifully, using his own concessions to exchange for more concessions from the other party.
In fact, the seven families and the Federation government did not want a full-scale conflict. Since the bloody period of history, the Federation had been peaceful for too long. If a war suddenly broke out, whether it was the Federation government that had scruples or the families that had been at peace for a long time, it would be very difficult for them to fully mobilize their resources and mentally prepare in this short period of time.
Today, in the picturesque manor behind Mochou Mountain, on the terrace where one could see the lake and mountains, an important conversation was taking place.
Probably because people were on the terrace and did not need to open the door to see the mountains, this conversation was particularly direct. In just a few words, countless winds and clouds gathered.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time Mr. President has entered Mochou Mountain."
Lady Tai gently stroked the smooth handle of the coffee cup with her fingers and smiled at the middle-aged man across the table.
President Pabre's expression was calm. He raised his right arm and casually waved as he replied, "It is very convenient to come, but what identity do I have to come with? I have not figured out this identity before, so it is not convenient for me to visit Madam. "
Lady Tai's smile gradually disappeared. She clearly understood what the other party wanted to express.
Five years ago, in the Federation election, Mochou Mountain chose to support Pabre, who was still a member of parliament at the time, and even accepted Pabre's harsh conditions because Mochou Mountain thought highly of him. However, in the five years after he became president, Mr. Pabre had not taken a single step into Mochou Mountain.
Identity was indeed very important. Was he the president of the Federation or the president of the Back Mountain?
Pabre was unwilling to visit this picturesque landscape as someone who was supported, even if he was a collaborator. Until today, when the government he led finally had enough strength, or perhaps qualifications, to accept the invitation … as the President of the Federation.
"I can understand the ambition of a politician, even your dream of being re-elected three times."
Lady Tai said in a slightly mocking tone, "But I really didn't expect your ambition to be so far beyond that. You even want to overturn all of us old guys."
President Pabre's voice was deep and deep, and his eyes were clear and threatening. "Madam, I know what you're thinking."
"Five years ago, you surprisingly chose to work with me. Was it just because I had the support of the three major unions and some worthless resume? No, it was because madam had long seen what kind of person I was. You knew that once I became the President of the Federation, I would definitely have some intentions. I would want to leave behind something different in history. "
"I don't deny that after the end of the next term, I want to change the election law and the constitution and try to become the first president in the history of the Federation to be re-elected three times. However, during these five years, you seemed to have always expressed tacit approval and support for this plan of mine. Why?"
President Pabre calmly looked at madam and continued. "Because you need a powerful partner to be the first to break the hard and cold provisions of the constitution. As long as you get used to breaking them, then the follow-up will become very simple."
A faint mocking smile hung on his thick lips. "After I'm re-elected three times, the Crown Prince should have just finished his two terms as a state legislator and a member of the Federation Management Committee. You definitely want him to become the youngest president in history … Then, since I, the former president, can be re-elected, why can't President Tai be re-elected?"
"When the time comes, how many times do you want him to be re-elected? Two, three or four times? Or should I say, let him continue until the glory of the Tai Dynasty is restored? "
President Pabre's eyes were serious and burning as he stared at Lady Tai's face. He was full of pressure. "Madam, when it comes to ambition, you are the woman with the greatest ambition in the universe.
…
…
After being unceremoniously exposed by Mr. President, the ultimate goal of her silent operation for the rest of her life, Lady Tai's eyes turned cold for an instant. She immediately returned to normal and picked up the teacup to take a few sips.
"Ambition must be matched with equal power. You dare to try to rewind history and return to the era of the reactionary dynasty. Maybe you really think that you are the woman with the most power in the universe."
President Pabre looked at the exposed late autumn lake forest. A trace of indifference flashed across his dark face. "But please don't forget that I am the President of the Federation."
"Mr. President, I think that in the past five years, whether it is me or those old guys, we have invested enough goodwill and support in you, the elected president."
Lady Tai looked at his side profile quietly. After a moment of silence, she said, "It has always been you trying to obtain more things. Those things have even exceeded the limits that a rational person should have."
"What limits? Who set these limits? Why does the Federation government have to abide by formless limits? Or do you still think that your words can be as powerful as the Magna Carta or the Supreme Court's rulings? "
President Pabre looked at her mockingly. His tough tone softened a bit. He said, "Madam, you were wrong about one thing at the beginning. My government and I have never thought of overturning you. We just hope that the way this society operates can become more reasonable."
"The mining preparations for the mining of the Galaxy X have already begun. If there are no problems with the plan, we can start harvesting in about two years. These mining planets of the Empire are resources that the Federation forces have exchanged with their lives and blood. But your Crystal Mining Consortium wants to seize the benefits of all the people of the Federation without spending a single cent. This is an extremely unreasonable method. "
At this point in the conversation, Lady Tai's calm eyes finally began to blossom with a sharp light.
She looked at the President coldly and said extremely slowly, "The Crystal Mining Consortium naturally owns all the Crystal Mining resources in the entire universe. We cooperate in all aspects according to the needs of the government … This is the iron law that the Tai family and the government reached at the beginning of the republic when we were willing to peacefully give up the throne and all the power.
"This iron law was even written into the secret Magna Carta. It has been enforced for thousands of years. No government has dared to violate it. Mr. President, your request is a bit too much."
"Iron law? Or perhaps it is more appropriate for us to call it a shameful deal, "President Pabre refuted in a deep voice.
"Regardless of whether it is a deal or an iron law, this is history!"
Lady Tai looked at him with a serious expression and said very seriously, "Mr. President, I am very clear that it is very difficult for a person with such a strong heart like yours to develop feelings of reverence. But for history, it is best for you to show more reverence."
"Madam, can I understand this as some kind of threat?"
President Pabre was silent for a very long time. His thick black eyebrows slowly rose up.
"You have to understand one thing. This is no longer the era of the Empire. With the release of information, it is very difficult for the seven great families to forever hide behind the scenes of history. Once the people know the truth behind these deals, what kind of extreme reaction will they have?"
"Is this considered a threat that you and the government are issuing to me, Mr. President?" Lady Tai calmly replied.
The President shook his head and said in a soothing tone, "Madam, I am not a radical violent person like those in Green Dragon Mountain. I also don't want the Federation to fall into turmoil. These things that I am doing, in my opinion, are only some extremely mild requests and measures."
Without waiting for Lady Tai to reply, he resolutely raised his right hand and said, "I agree that the seven great families still have enough privileges. This is already a concession. Then, Madam, you and your companions must also express enough sincerity."
"I will consider your proposal." Lady Tai's expression was indifferent. She raised the cold tea in her hand.
President Pabre stood up. Accompanied by his aides, he walked towards the outside of the terrace. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around to add in a deep voice.
"I would like to remind the House of Li to stop trying to obstruct the passage of the additional clause of the Golden Fusion Algorithm on Parliament Hill."
"The days of financial oligarchs using mathematical tools that no one can understand and plundering the wealth of the entire Federation are over. If the House of Li Yuan insists on fighting, I don't mind forcibly dissolving the Parliament and changing the election ahead of time."
After President Pabre and his aides, as well as the agents of the Special Task Force hiding in the dark left, the terrace of Mo Chou's manor in the back of the mountain returned to silence.
Lady Tai put down the teacup in her hand and quietly walked to the railing. She leaned on the cold white stone railing and looked at the cold scenery of the lake and mountains in silence for a long time.
Butler Jin put a pot of hot tea on the table and looked at the back of his wife worriedly. He didn't know what to say to comfort her at the moment.
The seven great families that had accompanied the Federation for tens of thousands of years had finally met a strong opponent. Although they had fought many powerful Federation governments and amazing presidents in the past, the middle-aged man they were facing this time had already demonstrated his absolute control over the Federation society through many things. The biggest difference between this president and the previous presidents was that under his seemingly gentle appearance, there was a strong enough ambition that he didn't hesitate to use special means.
What was even more frightening was that through the war with the Empire, the historically weak army had finally stepped onto the stage of history and stood firmly behind this middle-aged man. The seven great families, led by Mo Chou, had to face a major change that hadn't happened in thousands of years.
Five years ago, when Mo Chou supported Pabre in the election of the Federation president, she probably didn't expect that she was grooming a gravedigger for herself.
Secretary Shen looked at the presidential motorcade leaving the manor with a complicated expression. He quietly walked to the terrace and reported in a low voice, "There will be a third reading of the relevant bill on Parliament Hill in the afternoon."
"That's what the Li family should be concerned about." Lady Tai didn't turn her head. Her voice was a bit bleak because of the cold autumn wind. "Right now, I only care about how long Xu Le can live."
"According to the news from the official residence, Mr. President will sign the order by tonight at the latest. General Lee Jae-do has been waiting in the official residence with the military court's death warrant."
Lady Tai was silent for a moment. She turned around and leaned against the railing. She looked at Shen Li and calmly said, "Inform our friends in the Supreme Court and ask them to help delay the time. In addition, the people in the official residence should also move. They should try to delay Xu Le's execution as much as possible."
Secretary Shen looked at her in surprise. He immediately raised a firm objection. "Madam, Colonel Xu Le has been determined to be a seed of the Empire. If we still maintain a relationship with him, it will easily become a loophole for the government to attack. Also, it is impossible to rescue him from the military prison in Qingcheng. Even if he escapes from the military prison in Qingcheng, it will be meaningless to us. A person of the Empire has zero value in the Federation."
"I don't expect Xu Le to survive, but if he can live for one more day, he can delay the attention of the official residence for one more day. We need time now."
Lady Tai paused for a moment and said, "Although he is a person of the Empire, he is still valuable to us."
"Even if the Supreme Court interferes, or even take the risk of mobilizing the people in the official residence, I don't have the confidence that we can delay the execution of Xu Le by the government."
After a moment of silence, Secretary Shen gave an honest answer.
Lady Tai looked at him quietly for a long time. Her calm eyes were filled with a faint sense of mockery and oppression. She said, "You were sent to my side by the Trinity Association to carry out the most difficult mission. Since you can still convince Pabre and Lee Jae-do to believe that I don't doubt you and still believe you, why can't they believe you more?"
…
…
Among the idiotic characteristics of the Federation that were often mocked by the royal family of the Empire, the most famous was its cumbersome bureaucratic procedures. This was especially the case in the Parliament Hill, a building full of a rotten and cold smell. Even if it was just reviewing the budget supplemental bill that was urgently needed at the front line, it still had to go through countless troublesome and unnecessary steps.
For example, when the hero of the Federation, Colonel Xu Le, was exposed as a spy of the Empire, this was already an iron-clad case with irrefutable evidence, but the members of the Parliament Hill still strongly requested that a secret hearing be held. Having just experienced the bitter battle over the additional terms of the financial bill, the members of the Parliament Hill forced themselves to focus their attention again, rubbing their dark circles under their eyes.
Right now, there was no one in the Federation who dared to defend Xu Le. Several members of the Parliament who took the stage to speak one after another criticized the royal family of the Empire who was locked in prison with a stern sense of justice. It seemed that if they did not do so, they would not be able to express their love for the Federation and their hatred for the Empire.
It was not known from which corner of the Internet that the members of the Parliament found the so-called evidence, but they actually brought out countless basins of smelly black water and splashed it on Xu Le without mercy. They did not even let go of the so-called rotten private life of that rock.
When the commander of the Iron Seventh Division, Du Shaoqing, responded to the request and reported the process of the pursuit of Xu Le to the members of the Parliament, a member of the Parliament below the stage seemed to be very wise and suggested a possibility. "Commander Shaoqing, in your opinion, when Xu Le entered the Empire to hunt down Duke Carlton, could it be possible that it was a scheme of the Empire's royal family? He was able to escape Tianjing Planet safely, could it be that he already knew about his background at that time and began to work for the Empire from then on? "
Du Shaoqing, who was on the speaker's seat, looked at the pot-bellied Parliament member with a cold gaze. After a long silence, he replied, "Idiot."
…
…
The word "idiot" reverberated in the grand hall of the Parliament Mountain. That Parliament member was so angry that his face turned red and he almost had a heart attack. More members of the Parliament started to discuss animatedly, feeling extremely angry.
Du Shaoqing walked directly to the side hall, not even bothering to look at these Parliament members. For a soldier like him, who valued discipline, to actually say the word "idiot" in a sacred place like the Parliament Mountain meant that the level of idiocy of these Parliament members was beyond his imagination. They were completely unable to control their emotions.
"As a soldier of the Federation, I hate all men of the Empire, and that naturally includes Xu Le." He looked indifferently at Li Feng in front of him and said, "When I was about to kill him, you were the one who stopped me. You should have known what this meant at that time."
"I understand," Li Feng replied after a moment of silence.
Du Shaoqing calmly looked at the young colonel who was more than half a head taller than him and said, "My troops and I are about to head to the front line. You must take responsibility for this matter. If Xu Le survives, you owe me a life."
Li Feng was silent once more, and then he said those two words again, "I understand. If anyone wants to save him, or if he dares to break out of prison, I will personally kill him."
…
…
In fact, there were many things that Madman Li still did not understand. For example, how could that fellow who had once eaten and slept with him for many days be an innately evil and cruel citizen of the Empire? For example, why did his aunt show such a fierce attitude towards Xu Le despite knowing that he was a citizen of the Empire?
After arriving at the Army Command Center from the Parliament Mountain, he stood at the end of the corridor with his hands behind his back. His posture was as straight as a silent wall, blocking all the officers who tried to enter the corridor. This was because in the office behind him, his aunt and his father were having a conversation that they did not want anyone to hear.
"You should know very well that if there's only one person left in the Federation who doesn't care if Xu Le is a citizen of the Empire, then it's definitely me."
In the room, Jian Shui'er took off the light-colored hood of her sports jacket and calmly spoke to her cousin behind the table. Her beautiful black hair flowed over her shoulders like flowing water, and the brightness in her eyes was like a lake in autumn. However, this lake contained too many complicated emotions, as well as persistence.
Lee Jae-do, who had just returned from the President's Residence, looked at the black hair floating on the other side of the table. For some reason, he naturally thought of how this girl looked like today before she left Philadelphia for the capital and dyed her hair into that strange purple color. Her beautiful face that had been perfect since she was young was always filled with a sweet smile. She would follow his footsteps and hurriedly run along the lakeside, constantly calling out "Brother Zaidao, Brother Zaidao, Brother Zaidao."
More than ten years had passed, and he was no longer that wooden military instructor who had just gotten married in his middle age. That little girl who was like his own daughter had also become the national idol of the entire Federation. More importantly, like all girls who had grown up, their hearts had already left their own home, and some of them were reluctant to throw themselves into the arms of their loved ones.
"Just because he's your fiancé?" Lee Jae-do slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the documents on the table. He said softly, "Don't forget, Xu Le is my uncle's student, and also my father's favorite junior. I don't have any personal opinions about him, but he's a citizen of the Empire, so all these relationships will no longer exist. The feelings between you and him, or the private engagement, must also no longer exist."
"I'm not talking about the engagement." Jian Shui 'er took a step forward. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't care if he's a citizen of the Empire, because half of my blood is from the Empire."
Hearing this, Lee Jae-do's fingers that were holding the digital pen suddenly stiffened. He slowly raised his head and looked at his sister's face. He asked coldly, "Where did you hear this nonsense?"
"This is the truth, right?" Jian Shui 'er didn't answer his question.
Lee Jae-do looked at her expressionlessly. After a long silence, he said, "My father said that your mother should be the daughter of the former Master Fan of the Empire. In other words, your maternal grandfather is my father's teacher. I don't think this needs special attention."
"But he's still a citizen of the Empire," Jian Shui 'er said stubbornly.
Lee Jae-do slammed his palm on the table, breaking the digital pen into three pieces. He sternly reprimanded, "Don't forget that your surname is Lee! The blood of the Lees of Philadelphia flows in your body! Even my uncle respects his surname. You must protect the survival of this family, and not think about other things! "
The office was deathly silent. After a long time, Jian Shui 'er slowly buttoned up her windbreaker and said softly, "I understand. But can you tell me how you guessed that he's a citizen of the Empire? "
This question was on the minds of many people. Lee Jae-do exposed Xu Le's identity as a citizen of the Empire, which directly led to the sudden change of the situation in the Federation. The elders of the big families, who were watching the show with cold eyes, were caught unprepared by this storm. After the incident, they found that this was the most difficult point to understand in the big change of the situation.
Even President Pabre and Director Cui Judong of the Bureau of Proclamation didn't understand how Lee Jae-do could find hope in the void and discover such a sharp move on the chaotic chessboard. However, out of respect and even awe of Lee Jae-do, they didn't ask any more questions.
After a moment of silence, Lee Jae-do said, "Before my father died, he told me that my uncle is still alive. I think you should also know about this."
Jian Shui 'er nodded. "What can this prove?"
"My uncle didn't stop you from being with Xu Le, which overturned a certain guess of many people, including me," Lee Jae-do calmly explained, "Xu Le is not his illegitimate son."
"I never thought about this." Jian Shui 'er lightly shrugged.
"But I thought about it before, and I believe that the Emperor and the Princess of the Empire must have thought so too."
"Is this very important?"
"Very important." Lee Jae-do gently put down the half of the digital pen in his hand, took a tissue and carefully wiped his fingers. "Because when combined with the power in Xu Le's body, it can explain a lot of things."
"The power called True Qi comes from the Empire. Even in the Empire itself, only the royal family of the Empire and the people of the Master Fan family can cultivate it. When the former Master Fan visited the Federation, among hundreds of millions of people, only the two of us were found to be able to cultivate this mysterious power. "
"I didn't inherit this ability. Even Li Feng had to use medical and physical methods to activate this power. That's why I find it hard to believe that my uncle would wander to Dong Lin and casually find a genius young man who is suitable for cultivation in that shabby repair shop."
"The blood of the Lees of Philadelphia can cultivate True Qi. This is already a small probability event, probably one in a hundred million. My uncle so coincidentally found Xu Le, the probability is also one in a hundred million."
Lee Jae-do looked at Jian Shui 'er and calmly said, "According to the concept of mathematics, a small probability event has a possibility of existing, but when two small probability events are added together, the extremely small probability … we can equate it to zero. In other words, it is impossible for it to happen."
"There may be a repair shop in some corner of the universe, and there may be a genius student in the repair shop. But there must be an internal logical reason why he is such a genius."
"There are only two answers that can explain Xu Le's power. Either he has the blood of the Li family in him, or he must be a member of the Empire's royal family."
The office was silent again. After a long time, Jian Shui 'er shook her head in confusion. She frowned and asked in disbelief, "Could it be … could it be that you just based on these conjectures, you are sure that he is from the Empire?"
"Conjecture is a good word to use."
Lee Jae-do replied with a smile, "I was indeed guessing, but in the end, the facts proved that I guessed right."
"If that is the case, it means that I have indirectly exposed his identity and sent him to his death."
Jian Shui 'er's expression was gloomy. She forced a smile and looked at her cousin behind the desk. She whispered, "Brother, although rumors say that my father is extremely cold-blooded and heartless and doesn't care about anything, I really want to know, since he is alive, are you worried about what he will do this time?"
After saying this, she covered her face with the hood of her windbreaker and turned to leave.
Looking at the closed door, Lee Jae-do's mood was extremely complicated. He knew that this was probably the last time his sister would call him brother. He was naturally vigilant about his seemingly omnipotent and terrifying uncle, but his father had already left this world. Who dared to say that they could defeat the unknown strong man of the Lees of Philadelphia?
There were still several important links about this whole matter that he had not completely figured out. His uncle should have known that Xu Le was a member of the Empire's royal family, so he chose to stay on the barren Donglin Mineral Star. What was his intention? From some of the arrangements, it could be vaguely proved that his father should also have some inside information. But why did he ignore it and even tried to let Xu Le take over? Was Xu Le the son of the Empire's Huai Fu Chai, or the descendant of the prince who died in the civil strife?
After a while, Lee Jae-do withdrew his gaze, took out a new digital pen from the drawer, and continued his work. None of this was important anymore, because the young man was about to die.
…
…
"He is my father's only living son, my younger brother."
Huai Caoshi sat on the tourist bench beside the Charter Square of the Federation. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the fake bronze statue in front of her and the new statue further away. As the famous princess of the Empire, she actually had the opportunity to enter the core of the Federation and see the statue of Li Pifu at such a close distance. It was not hard to imagine what kind of complicated and strange emotions would arise in her heart. However, at this moment, all her emotions were focused on the guy who was said to be secretly imprisoned.
Great Teacher, who was wearing the famous winter clothes of the Federation, sat beside her and looked at the statue and the fat pigeons in the square. He observed the expressions of the late autumn tourists, and his eyes were filled with excitement. He murmured at a high frequency that his life was worth it and that he was going to find Schilemu.
The two disguised as ordinary members of the Empire's underground resistance organization did not need to follow Mu En in the hypocritical conversation with the Federation government. The relevant agencies of the Federation government were also very willing to show the glorious history and beautiful scenery of the Federation to these rural barbarians in the Left Sky Star Zone. Of course, every member of the underground resistance organization's diplomatic mission was in a real-time status right now. Who knew how many undercover officers of the military intelligence department were hiding around them.
Seeing the heavy expression on Huai Caoshi's face, Great Teacher Fan Yuguang suddenly pointed at a young Federation couple who was chasing each other among the fallen leaves and said with a smile, "It really can't be seen from the surface, but these human beings have a small chip behind their neck. It seems that the people of the Federation have really gotten used to living with a dog chain, just like how the people of the Empire have gotten used to living under the rule of the royal family. There is no essential difference."
The wide characteristic of the hat covered the middle-aged man's handsome face that did not look like a normal person, making his voice a little hoarse. Then, he said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry about that matter. I really did not expect that the relationship between you two would almost lead to a big mistake."
Because they were deep in the capital of the Federation, they knew that every corner and even the air was filled with the radiance of the Charter of the Federation. Furthermore, the legendary omnipotent central computer of the Federation could obviously understand the language of the Empire, so the conversation on the bench was exceptionally simple and vague. However, Huai Caoshi understood why this crazy uncle of hers was apologizing.
When the battleship left the Old Moon base and was about to arrive at S1, he had already expressed a similar apology. For this crazy Great Teacher Fan who dared to kidnap the princess of the Empire in the name of love, peace, and literature, and tried to use aphrodisiac to make her and Xu Le fuse, such a deep and lasting apology was a rare emotion. It could also be imagined how terrifying that incident was. Even the crazy Great Teacher Fan felt that it was too f * cking crazy.
The Imperial Family and the Great Teacher Fan Manor were without a doubt the two places in the universe that had the deepest understanding of the Hakone Zhenqi, far above the Lees of Philadelphia. Therefore, when Xu Le was captured and brought to Tianjing, everyone from the Emperor to Huai Caoshi and the Great Teacher thought that Xu Le was Nasri's illegitimate son without a second thought.
It was only when the news of Xu Le and Jian Shui'er's marriage spread that the Imperial Family suddenly realized that they had made the biggest mistake of their life. The Great Teacher was embarrassed, ashamed, and afraid that he had tried to make a pair of siblings fall in love with each other to bring peace to the universe. Huai Caoshi was frustrated that she had brushed past her only biological brother and seemed to have missed him just like that.
A black mass of people walked out of the majestic parliament hill and walked down the stone steps. The Empire's Underground Resistance Group had ended their visit to the parliament hill. Both parties exchanged opinions. Mr. Mu En and the members praised the Federation's hospitality. At the same time, they expressed that they had been deeply influenced by the atmosphere of democracy and freedom today. In the future, they would definitely promote such a complete elected system in the Zuo Tian Galaxy.
Huai Caoshi and the Great Teacher stood up from the bench and walked towards the stone steps. Through the crowd, she noticed that Mu En nodded subtly and guessed that the Federation had agreed to that request. Her eyes slowly narrowed as she thought to herself that there was finally a possibility.
…
…
The fleet drove into the heavily guarded West Mountain Compound. Mr. Mu En, who purposely did not wear a leather coat, walked into the independent building with a solemn expression, followed by several of his entourage.
This was an unplanned itinerary. The Federation government had refused many times, but Mu En insisted that although Colonel Xu Le had been proven to be a member of the Imperial Family with dirty blood flowing from every pore of his body, they once had an indestructible friendship after all. He hoped that the Federation government would respect the insistence of the Zuo Tian Galaxy men.
In the end, they almost reached a dead end. Mu En suddenly lowered his request, saying that even if he could not visit Xu Le in prison, he should at least be allowed to visit Miss Zou Yu. After all, according to the traditions and customs of the Zuo Tian Galaxy, expressing condolences to the deceased's widow was a sacred and inviolable right.
It must be said that the Federation government, which knew very little about the Empire, did not have any good ideas when faced with Mu En's insistence, traditions, and customs of the Zuo Tian Galaxy.
In the room on the second floor.
Zou Yu frowned as she looked at the three people from the Empire in front of her. She was extremely puzzled. Why did they insist on visiting her, Xu Le's widow? That fellow wasn't dead yet. Most importantly, when did she become the lover and … the mother of his child that Mr. Mu En spoke of, the one that Xu Le couldn't forget during his desperate escape from Tianjing Planet?
"Please take a seat."
She politely invited everyone to sit down. In reality, this was the first time she had seen people from the Empire alive, so it was inevitable that her emotions would be somewhat strange. She did not know what kind of drinks she should serve them.
Mr. Mu En glanced at Huai Caoshi with a complicated expression. Even he did not understand what the purpose of this trip was.
Zou Yu keenly sensed that the extremely unassuming skinny young man actually had a position far above Mu En's. However, this Mu En was the head of the diplomatic mission, so who was this skinny young man? And why was that middle-aged man wearing a hat so impolite and flipping through her books without her permission?
The Great Teacher beside the bookshelf turned around, took off his hat, and bowed to Zou Yu with a smile. Then, he mouthed a silent sentence to Huai Caoshi.
"This beautiful lady is actually not inferior to your sister who is stranded in Philadelphia. It seems that our crown prince really has good luck with women."
Huai Caoshi understood the Great Teacher's words. Expressionlessly, she reached into her bosom and took out a few pieces of paper. She placed them in front of Zou Yu in an extremely secretive manner.
Zou Yu, who was stunned speechless by the handsome face of the Empire's middle-aged man, subconsciously looked down. Then, she was shocked by the few lines of Federation words written on the paper. She almost cried out in shock.
Three simple lines of words were written on the three pieces of paper.
"My name is Huai Caoshi."
"Xu Le is my younger brother."
"You can tell my identity to the Federation government. If not, then you can help me."
…
…
(Once, when I was interviewed by a female newspaper reporter, she said that you like to bury easter eggs in books. Can you tell me a few more interesting ones? At that time, Qing Yunian had already finished writing a long time ago. I only remember that I buried them, but I can't remember the specific location.
Unfortunately, there are also many spies. After I finished writing, I tried to dig them all up and exhibit them. The relationship between Huai Caoshi and Xu Le is definitely one of them. Before and after the 40th chapter of Book 4, Starlight Fleeting Time, the Great Teacher with Bare Legs with Love locked them in a secret room and drugged them with aphrodisiac. Then, Xu Le mentioned Schiller's Eight-Part Symphony …
Now that I look back at the plot of the secret room, it should be more interesting. At that time, many of my friends were talking about pushing them down. In fact, if I recall the plot of the Eight-Part Symphony, I might think of the relationship between the man and woman in the secret room. So, I definitely can't push it down. Otherwise, there will be a big mess.
