Chapter Seventy-Seven: Old White's Smoke and Clouds


There was dead silence in the conference room.

Dongfang Pei, the commander of the first regiment of the Iron Seventh Division, stood in front of Du Shaoqing, as he had done for many years, with his head held high, his chest straight, his abdomen tucked, his neck stiff, his legs together, his eyes level, his military posture was absolutely standard, and his bearing was absolutely awe-inspiring.

Du Shaoqing put his hands behind his back, and his hands holding black lambskin gloves seemed to be exerting force, and the blood that had just coagulated was oozing blood again.

Looking at the loyal subordinate in front of him who had followed him for many years, he didn't speak, and there was no angry emotion on his face, only a calm with a strange taste, and those cold star-like eyes fell on Dongfang Pei's body, as if he was carefully observing a stranger.

The sweat from Dongfang Pei's sideburns oozed more.

Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar officer in front of him, Du Shaoqing thought of his trust in him, his education, and his trust in Ximen Jin, he raised his face slightly, looked at the military flag on the wall in front of the conference room, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he still didn't speak, but the body that was as straight as a poplar tree seemed to suddenly become a little desolate and tired in people's eyes.

The sweat instantly wet the back of Dongfang Pei's military uniform, making him uncomfortable like slimy rice milk, and what made him even more uncomfortable was the disappointment that the division commander showed at this time and the strong sense of guilt that suddenly welled up in his heart.

His right hand subconsciously reached to his waist as if he was enchanted, and took out the cold pistol.

"What are you going to do?"

"Commander of the Eastern Regiment, put the gun down" The generals in the conference room stood up angrily and anxiously, looked at the metal death-glossing pistol in his hand, and shouted loudly.

On the side of the long table, only four people saw Dongfang Pei's action of pulling out his gun and did not react, Commander Yi Changtian, Division Commander Yu Chenghai, and Xu Le were still sitting silently, and Du Shaoqing stood with his hands in his hands, without a trace of expression on his face.

"Death can't solve the problem, and this matter can't end like this."

Xu Le looked at Dongfang Pei's right hand holding the pistol tremblingly, and said: "I haven't recovered the original record, and the military court will not convict you of a capital crime, but you need to explain the deletion of important data."

If you really care about the glory of a soldier, then at least before committing suicide in cowardice, you must explain who in the Charter Bureau actually deleted the data. ” Although the generals in the conference room are all important figures in the federal military, this matter involves the Charter Bureau, and they don't know how to continue to investigate, even if the Ministry of Defense comes forward in person, it will be extremely troublesome.

It wasn't until they heard Xu Le's calm but strong stubborn words that they remembered the strange activation of the charter network on 3320, as well as the conflict with the Charter Bureau team on the battleship, and understood that Xu Le had the determination and ability to investigate this matter to the end.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Commander Dongfang Pei glanced at Xu Le, his eyes were full of pride, indifference and resentment, he didn't care about anyone except the division commander, he turned his wrist, simply and neatly stuffed the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and pressed the trigger with his fingers.

At this moment, there is only one person in the entire universe who can stop Dongfang Pei.

"I won't let you die."

Du Shaoqing retracted his gaze, looked at him and said, "Before the matter is clarified, you are not allowed to die." ” Hearing the order of the division commander, Dongfang Pei's neck was full of green tendons, sweat was like a torrential rain, dripping down his jaw with distinct lines, I don't know what kind of ideological struggle he went through, he finally breathed heavily and slowly took the gun out of his mouth.

The gendarmes disarmed him and took him out of the conference room to be held in custody.

Du Shaoqing turned to Xu Le, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a difficult tone: "I'm sorry, I will give you an explanation for this matter." ” "The charge of tampering with important data is not enough to shoot him, unless it is found in the Charter Bureau and the matter is clarified.

To be honest, until now, I don't understand why it would be the Iron Seventh Division to do this if there is really a big man who wants to cleanse me of the influence I left in the Federation. ” Xu Le took a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes, looked at the undeveloped primeval meadow below the base, and the scattered flocks of sheep like white clouds above, and said: "Maybe Dongfang Pei really didn't know that someone had erased the original data, I think what he said before he wanted to commit suicide was quite true."

The problem is that I now doubt that Du Shaoqing will be involved in this matter. ” "When the seventh group used to do dark work for the political axe, they saw a lot of ugly and filthy dark sides, but if you want to say that Du Shaoqing was involved in this matter, I don't believe it."

A short-haired federal soldier sat beside him, holding a half-lit Sanqi cigarette between his index and middle fingers, his uniform without epaulettes, and his feet in military boots were extremely tight, quiet and supple like a girl.

"Of course, the young master is very powerful, but the means do not mean scheming.

The most important point is that he is a very proud person, even too proud, so proud that he will not allow the slightest stain to fall on his military uniform. ” "Anyway, the case will continue to be investigated.

Du Shaoqing kicked Dongfang Pei into our division's NTR squad, and he had to stay there until he found out.

Xu Le glanced at him and asked, "I mainly see that you are not satisfied with this confession." ” "Dongfang Pei stays in NTR, it must be better than death, the key to my dissatisfaction is still on the side of the Charter Bureau, there must always be someone responsible for the unjust death of Xie Wen."

Xu Le looked at him twice with a cigarette in his mouth, but after all, he still couldn't hold back the question in his heart, hesitated to stretch out his hand, rubbed his hair heavily after cutting it short, and asked curiously: "Lao Bai, why did you shave such an ugly head?"

Magnolia gently took his hand down and explained softly, "It's not ugly, that's why you haven't seen it." ” "I'd like to see more and see if you can actually grow a flower on your face."

Xu Le shrugged, kicked the wet soil under his feet, and sighed and said: "It's a pity that you have to leave soon, I really can't help this matter, but wait a while, I will find a relationship from the ministry and then call you back." ” Dongfang Pei was thrown into the NTR to make amends for the mistakes he had made, and the investigation continued, and if he had committed a crime, he would have to pay more.

However, Magnolia tore Dongfang Pei's ear in public, although he didn't have to be shot now, and even the confinement was only symbolically locked up for two days, but in order to maintain the most important military discipline and order of the army, he had no way to continue to stay in the barracks.

"I'm not coming back."

Magnolia said something that shocked Xu Le.

"When I joined the army, the hair underneath hadn't grown yet, don't laugh, it's true."

He lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette, and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "At that time, the old 17th Division had not been completely disbanded, how early did you say that from the 17th Division to the 8384 unit of the port capital, and then to Guoke Baishui to be a mercenary, there were seven groups, and finally entered the new 17th Division, I have gone around a big circle in my life, but I am always in the army." ” "Training, fighting, killing, killing, fighting, training" Magnolia raised her head, looked at him and blinked her eyes and said: "The barracks is my home, I will miss it when I leave in the future, but staying too long is really boring." ” The middle finger flicked on the index finger, the corner of the lip on the side of Magnolia curled, and he watched with satisfaction as the cigarette butt fell into the grass more than ten meters away, and continued: "A year ago, I thought you were dead, and I had already made a discharge report, but I didn't approve it, and I didn't worry about the seven groups of these guys, especially those new cubs, so I followed the empire to take a few looks." ” Xu Le was silent, thinking hard about how to make him change his mind.

"How have you spent your year in the Empire?"

asked Magnolia.

There are many details about the year of the empire full of fugitives and deaths, even when facing the routine investigation of the Internal Affairs Department and the Charter Bureau, Xu Le did not say, but at this time it was Magnolia who asked questions.

After escaping from Donglin, Xu Le has always been vigilant about many people or things, and after a few years, the people he can trust to the greatest extent in the federation are still Shi Qinghai, Zou Yu, and Bai Yulan.

"In a year in the empire, the biggest gain is a paralysis, a watch and a mother and son."

"The combination of these three words, and it's a harvest, sounds wicked."

"That's because your mind is too evil."

"I've been to the Empire, and more than once."

Bai Magnolia's gaze extended from the grass in front of her to the green and yellow boundary of heaven and earth, and she frowned and said, "When I was a mercenary in Baishui before, I didn't do anything, so everything here is nothing new to me. ” "It's a to be fresh."

Xu Le thought that he was about to leave the army, and refused to accept his help, and said angrily: "You don't worry about those cubs, can you be relieved to retire from the army now?"

"This is a war of large forces, what role can we individuals play" Magnolia took the cigarette butt from his mouth, lit another cigarette, lowered her head and swallowed the smoke and smiled, "And I'm married." ” Xu Le was speechless by the news, and after being silent for a long time, he patted him on the shoulder: "Where is the girl not beautiful?"

"It's definitely not as beautiful as Jian Shui'er."

Magnolia replied with a smile: "You should have seen it, the particularly fierce nurse at the Army General Hospital was scolded by her last time you smoked in the ward. ” "Good thing, go back, I'll stay and watch these cubs."

Xu Le said seriously.

Magnolia shook her head: "You can't see it, the Federation must be preparing for the press conference after you go back now." ” Xu Le was silent, not wanting to talk about this extended topic that gave him a headache, but suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and teased: "Da Xiong said that you haven't smoked for a year because of your grief over my death, wouldn't this be too ungentleman?"

"."

Magnolia lay back on the meadow, holding a cigarette, looking at the foreign blue sky, and said, "Quit smoking because you want to have children." ” "I don't think you're a gentleman."

The blue sky, the green and yellow grass, the flock of sheep like clouds, and the wisps of Sanqi brand cigarette smoke, from time to time sounded the mocking or calm speech of two people.
