Xu Le pulled out the military knife. His face was still expressionless, but when he heard the spluttering sound, his brows slightly furrowed.
Qi Dabing's throat made a gurgling sound as he gasped for breath in vain. His legs twitched, and he died. Blood gurgled out from under his ribs. Not long after, it stopped because of the loss of vitality.
The red sun outside the window was already setting. Xu Le stood up and looked back. He saw that around the streets of the capital, there was a stretch of plain gray buildings. As usual, it was monotonous and dull, but it was as if someone was looking at him.
Then, he looked back at the closed door again. Outside the corridor, there were Qi Dabing's loyal subordinates, Tang Zhizhong's body that was gradually turning cold, and the resistance members in their respective rooms who still didn't know what had happened.
Without spending too much time thinking, he grabbed the edge of the small window with his right hand and directly jumped down.
Falling through the air, the light red light of Twilight flashed quickly over his body. Xu Le silently thought about how Qi Dabing had asked him to jump out of the window to escape. He killed him, and now he still wanted to jump out of the window to escape.
The difference between the two was probably that the former was forced to leave, but now it was his own decision. Whether there was any annoying resistance or pressure had always been an important basis for him to decide the direction he wanted to go.
His feet landed on the ground with a muffled thud. Xu Le silently climbed over the wall. Before he turned the corner, he subconsciously looked back at the auto repair factory building. He could vaguely see many figures shuttling between the buildings in panic.
If he left quietly like this, the resistance would probably think that he killed Tang Zhizhong and Qi Dabing. Moreover, there would definitely be an intense power struggle within the organization. However, this was ultimately something he didn't have the ability and qualifications to deal with.

Imperial Second Royal Hospital, back mountain intensive care unit. Xu Le hurriedly arrived by helicopter. He pushed open the blue door and quickly walked to the side of the bed. He reached out and held the hand of the woman on the bed. His mood finally calmed down.
In the instant before he killed Qi Dabing, Philip searched the database of the Imperial Intelligence Agency and used three near-earth military satellites to conduct a high-density scan of suspicious locations around the capital. He finally succeeded in finding the place where Aunt Susan was imprisoned: a remote ranch in the suburbs.
Xu Le had Philip notify the Imperial Intelligence Agency. The Agency's special operations forces were already on standby. Now that they had the specific location and the enemy's layout, they parachuted into the ranch like tigers and wolves. It didn't take much time to rescue the aunt, and no one died in the entire operation.
It was just that Aunt Susan had caught a cold the night before and was greatly frightened today.. Her body was very weak. After she was rescued, she was directly sent to this luxurious Royal hospital..... and she was injected with sedatives. and. a.... at this time, she was in a... and she was slowly receiving a high-energy nutrient fluid.
Xu Le looked at the aunt's white hair that was messy on the pillow and reached out to gently tidy it for her. He noticed that the aunt's brows were still tightly furrowed in her sleep. Her dry lips trembled from time to time, and she used some kind of dialect to lightly mutter words that were difficult to understand. He couldn't help but frown.
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open. A middle-aged man in a black official's uniform walked in with a cold expression. He had a luxurious staff under his arm. Behind him followed six or seven stern-looking subordinates. The officials in charge of the ward's security all bowed to the side and didn't dare to stop them.
It seemed that he was a big shot. Xu Le slowly stood up. Looking at the man who was getting closer and closer, he suddenly said, "I have a patient here. Whatever you want to say, go out first."
Obviously, this big shot who called himself Commandery Prince Jinzhang didn't have the leisure and time to sympathize with the patient. Thinking about it from another perspective, as the Commandery Prince, who was personally appointed by His Majesty to temporarily lead the affairs of the Intelligence Bureau while Huai Caoshi was in charge of the front line battle, he had been blinded by the anger of being neglected. He didn't consider why there was such a sudden action today that he didn't know about.
"What's your position in the bureau? Who approved this action? "
The Commandery Prince looked down at Xu Le with one percent of his eyes. He didn't do it deliberately. He naturally looked at Xu Le's face and scolded in a deep voice, "I will naturally punish you after the matter. What I want to know now is, where is the base of the rebel organization? Why were you able to escape from there alone? Tell me everything you know right now! "
Xu Le frowned and quietly looked at this member of the Imperial Family. He roughly guessed that the high-ranking officials in the Intelligence Bureau had used some unknown method to hide their identities. Their intention was none other than to let the Commandery Prince meet with him.
Realizing that he actually dared to frown and look at him impatiently, Commandery Prince Jinzhang snorted. His eyes were extremely round. He was probably going to kill someone in the next moment.
Xu Le ignored him and directly turned to walk out of the ward. After everyone left the ward, he suddenly turned to look at the Commandery Prince and said, "I don't want to talk too much with you. I'm just doing my business. However, to avoid trouble, I can tell you that in my eyes, there has never been anything like a Commandery Prince or Prince. If you have the same idea as me and don't want to cause too much trouble, I suggest you ask the people around you or the staff in the Intelligence Bureau about the specific situation."
In reality, these words were long-winded enough. However, because Xu Le was unwilling to have too much contact with the Imperial officials and was even more unwilling to reveal his identity and shout about the glory of his family like a noble young master in a confrontation on the street, he would rather remind the Commandery Prince and let him investigate on his own.
Ever since he was a teenager, he had not liked to play this game of relying on his father. Back then, he had been an orphan in a mining family and did not have the right to rely on his father. Now that he had the most powerful father in the entire universe, he did not want to acknowledge him.
Commandery Prince Jinzhang narrowed his eyes slightly. The expression on his face changed continuously because of this person's calmness. He stared at Xu Le's face. Suddenly, he took a phone from a subordinate and asked a few questions.
After hanging up the phone, the Commandery Prince no longer had his initial arrogance. His eyes were filled with an extremely complicated expression. He looked at Xu Le silently for a long time and then said, "The Emperor summons you to the Palace."
Xu Le paused and then said, "Not now. I will go when I have time."
Because he owed a favor to the Imperial royal family for this matter, his answer at this moment was already as gentle as possible. However, when it fell into the ears of everyone in the corridor, it was still like rolling thunder. He dared to directly refuse the great Emperor's summons and say that he would go when he had time?
Commandery Prince Jinzhang looked at him like a monster. He had wanted to use this opportunity to scold him as an elder. Suddenly, he thought of this person's past glorious deeds. He thought of how the most hardworking Prince of the Empire, the most bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty Commandery Prince, had been unreasonably killed by this small-eyed man in front of him. He immediately gave up on his previous thoughts.

At night, Aunt Susan woke up. Xu Le stayed by her side and comforted her with a few words. Looking at Aunt Susan's haggard and sunken eyes, he did not explain too much and quietly urged her to go back to sleep.
After Aunt Susan relaxed and fell into a deep sleep, Xu Le walked out of the ward and came to the verdant garden at the edge of the building. He looked up at the strange moon in the sky and lit a cigarette. He sank into a complicated and confused mood and was silent for a long time.
The Royal Hospital was near the mountains and rivers. The scenery was excellent, especially in this special protective area behind the mountains, where only those with noble titles could live. It was built in the valley and welcomed the rising moon and sunset through the plum trees. It was so beautiful that it was like a dream that he did not want to wake up from.
He thought of everything he had experienced during the day and guessed what was happening in the car repair factory. He thought of how he was now far away from that place as if nothing had happened. He saved Aunt Susan and strolled in the beautiful plum forest. He felt that it was really like a dream.
Elder Tang Zhizhong's words kept echoing in his mind. The longer they echoed, the more the scenes and suggestions were like poems in a dream. They gradually faded and faded. Although he did not forget them, they became more and more vague.
Become the king of the Left Sky Star Region? Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the dark blue night sky. He admitted that he was tempted at that time in the room, otherwise he would not have been silent for so long.
Just like what Li Pifu said on his sickbed, Feng Yu went to Dong Lin in the past partly because he wanted to witness the tragic beauty of the decline of a society and civilization. To be able to witness some kind of big change in history was an irresistible temptation.
Who did not want to go back to the beginning of time and see Schiller write wonderful works? Who did not want to go back to the beginning of history and see the Tai Dynasty peacefully give up power and the scene of thousands of people celebrating at the beginning of the republic?
Becoming the Emperor of the Empire, witnessing a big change in the Left Sky Star Region that had not happened for tens of thousands of years, and even personally participating in it, this temptation was too great. It was so great that even he, a rock in Dong Lin, found it hard to suppress his desire.
However, the sudden change in the situation and the cold situation caused by Qi Dabing made him quickly realize that the plan of the resistance organization could not change the world of the Left Sky Star Region. This kind of reform path from the top to the bottom would eventually lead to the old path of war and slaughter. No one would be willing to give up the rights and interests they already had, let alone the entire class of the Imperial Family.
That Prince Jinzhang he saw earlier might be afraid of him because of his bloodline and did not even have the courage to oppose him inheriting the throne of the Empire. However, if he carried out the agreement with Tang Zhizhong, this Prince would definitely resist at all costs.
Xu Le could not even imagine what kind of attitude Huai Caoshi would have when the time came. In comparison, the current Imperial Family of the Empire tried to use education to bridge the gap between the classes, which seemed more gentle and feasible. However, how could this kind of scratching through the shoe stop the pain of hundreds of millions of years?
The bright moon hung high in the sky and the plum trees were fragrant without flowers. He walked slowly in the back of the mountain of the hospital, the cigarette between his fingers gradually burning out. He thought for a long time but still could not figure out why. He could not help but laugh at himself and admit that he was indeed a little stupid in this regard.
