On the outskirts of monitor lizard city, nameless earth mountain, citizen cemetery.
This is a cemetery built on a slope. Looking around, there are many monuments and weeds.
The striking number “89” at the entrance indicates that this is one of the countless civic cemeteries in Monitor Lizard City. Because the tombs are for ordinary citizens and the maintenance costs are low, weeding and trimming are only performed twice a year.
Although it looks a bit desolate and desolate, at least the tombstones are complete, arranged in an orderly manner, and there are tombkeepers to take care of them, which is much better than the mass burial of refugees.
Among the lined tombstones, a man in a trench coat stopped.
It is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the wind on the mountain is a little cooler. The man stared blankly at the tombstone in front of him, his eyes slowly moving on the inscription.
[The stupidest woman in the world – Su Xuefei sleeps here]
“If you die, you will be called stupid.” The man sighed, with unspeakable sadness in his voice. I saw him step forward and put the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombstone.
The white and slender petals are noble and elegant, and the roots of the stamens are light blue, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
If anyone who knows the business is here, they will definitely recognize that this is one of the most expensive flowers in the world, the artificially cultivated “Night Rain Orchid”. A single flower costs more than ten gold coins. There are more than twenty flowers in this bunch, and the price is definitely more than two hundred gold coins.
The night rain orchid is a new species born from the fusion of classical orchid and a variety of mutant plant cells. Compared with ordinary orchids, it can keep fresh for a long time after cutting off the rhizomes. Due to the need to water the psionic potion during the cultivation process, the price is extremely expensive. It is not a rich man with too much money to spend, and he will not consider it at all.
Ye Yuyou Orchid, which is worth more than two hundred gold coins, looks very discordant when placed in front of the tombstone of the commoners whose land price is less than ten gold coins.
The man in the trench coat put his hands in his pockets, looked around at the weeds and complained, “I won’t find a better place for you.”
The voice is full of mixed flavors, full of melancholy, loss, resentment, regret and a strong sense of powerlessness.
However, compared to other parts of the cemetery, it looks very clean, the tombstones are spotless, and the surrounding weeds are shorter than other places. It seems that people come to visit often.
The man stood quietly, and after an unknown time, a figure appeared in the cemetery.
He was dressed in a military uniform that was handsome and straight, like green pines and green bamboo. He walked firmly and steadily, fast and not in a hurry, which seemed to confirm the old saying – stand like a pine, walk like the wind.
When the officer saw the man in the trench coat, he frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything. He went straight to the tombstone and delivered the flowers he brought.
Staring at the tombstone, after a long silence, the officer said, “I didn’t expect that you still have the face to come here.”
The man in the trench coat didn’t turn his head, “I asked you to come here today, not to grind my lips.”
“Then, Mr. Prime Minister, what is your purpose for inviting me here today?” the officer asked. Although the words were polite, the tone was cold and hostile.
The man in the trench coat looked up at the sky, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, “Something has already happened.”
“We can’t change the past, but a new day will always come”
“So what?” the officer interrupted. “Just tell the result.”
The man in the trench coat turned to look at the other party and said in a deep voice, “My hope is reconciliation.”
“Reconciliation?” The officer turned his head and looked into each other’s eyes. He said without a smile, “You are the distinguished Prime Minister, oh, no, you should be called the Prime Minister, no, that’s not right, you should be called” He paused, “God of two faces!”
This is the nickname given by foreign media recently, and it is very appropriate.
These two men are Chen Xing and Ricardo. Chen Xing asked him to come over, the purpose is to solve the old grudge between the two and fight the enemy together.
Ricardo’s face was full of disdain, “As the most powerful man on the Dragon River, why should he reconcile with a small staff officer?”
“We have common goals and enemies,” Chen Xing said. Lacey has been sealed out, and the eldest prince is the only heir. Politically, they have no conflict of interest.
“With the ability of your two-faced **** to climb the dragon and the phoenix, what kind of goals can’t be achieved, and what kinds of enemies can’t be defeated?”
Ricardo’s words were pungent and sarcastic, and he had no respect for his superiors at all.
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and warned, “My patience and tolerance are limited.”
“Then can I go now?” Ricardo asked.
“You are a soldier.” Chen Xing stared at the other party and said seriously, “As long as the war does not end in one day, the people will live in dire straits and cannot live and work in peace and contentment.”
“There is an old saying in our hometown, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man!”
Chen Xing tried to wake up the other party with the responsibility of a soldier, but Ricardo didn’t appreciate it and replied coldly, “I really admire your hypocrisy.”
“A **** who robs and kills other people’s wives, is still in the mood to care about the people?”
“Ricardo!” Mentioning Su Xuefei, Chen Xing could no longer restrain his anger, and shouted, “You killed her!”
He admitted that he had done the most jerkiest thing in the world, humiliating his former lover in public, but in his cognition, it was Ricardo’s jealousy that finally killed Su Xuefei.
At this moment, Ricardo finally tore off his disguise and roared hideously, “It’s you!”
“Perhaps I ignored your existence back then, and my arrogance hurt your fragile self-esteem, but she is innocent!” Ricardo’s eyes were red, and he patted his chest hard, “If you want revenge, you can rush Come on, what is it to bully a woman!”
“She didn’t offend anyone, and even more so for you.” Having said this, he couldn’t go on, only his face was full of grief and anger.
This is the biggest pain in his heart. A woman follows him, but his heart is with other men. For this bastard, she took all the money she sold herself to be deceived.
Maybe this woman is really stupid, but her kindness and love are pure in the world.
“You must have done something to her, otherwise she won’t die!” Chen Xing’s eyes were red, and he almost roared, “Why are you trying to provoke her? Since you have provoke her, why don’t you protect her well? !”
“You let her down!” Ricardo rushed up emotionally, grabbing the other’s collar with both hands, “Do you know how much she has done behind your back!”
“She’s just an ordinary woman, but she gave everything she could!”
“So you are jealous of me!” Chen Xing said coldly, “So you forced her to death!”
“asshole!”
An unforgivable Ricardo punched Chen Xing in the face.
“Do you know what you’re doing?”
Chen Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were extremely fierce, “You are attacking the Prime Minister of the country!”
As soon as the words fell, several figures stood up from the weeds and surrounded Ricardo’s location.
A black guy took the lead, showing his white teeth to Chen Xing and grinning, “Hey, Lao Qin, you were beaten so badly!”
This black guy is Cassie, and Chen Xing transferred 20 members of the original master group from the big cat to be his prime minister’s guard in Monitor Lizard City.
Ricardo, who was furious, instantly realized that this was a trap set by Chen Xing, and quickly regained his calm.
“Arrest him!” Chen Xing said loudly.
The guards approached eagerly.
“Just these people, do you underestimate me too much?” Ricardo glanced at the surrounding guards out of the corner of his eye, as if looking for a breakthrough.
“I advise you to take it easy!” Chen Xing crossed his arms and glanced at Su Xuefei’s tombstone, “If you don’t want to disturb her sleep”
Ricardo’s face changed, and he couldn’t help shouting, “You are despicable!”
He realized that if there was a fight here, Su Xuefei’s cemetery would definitely be damaged. I didn’t expect the other party to be so ruthless, and even this was included.
In order to disturb his lover’s long sleep, Ricardo loosened his fist and captured it.
Casey and the others rushed up, twisted Ricardo’s arm backwards, and put on the shackles of Gleipnir, which glowed with purple light and could suppress psychic mobilization.
Before being pushed away by Cassie and the others, Ricardo looked back at Chen Xing, shook his head and said, “I really feel bad for her”
The crowd drifted away, and the cemetery returned to its former silence.
Chen Xing stood in front of the tombstone, staring at the inscription, silent and lonely.
He watched silently until the sun slanted down and the sky darkened.
“The first life, I don’t know you, you don’t know me.”
“Second life, you have failed me.”
“The third generation, I have failed you.”
“If there is a fourth life, I will marry you”
After speaking, Chen Xing stepped forward and stroked the tombstone, as if that day, next to the piano under the sunshine window, in the midsummer campus, he stroked her shoulder.
Then he made a goodbye gesture and turned to leave gracefully.
There are still many things waiting for him to do, and there is no time for him to be sad.
The news of Ricardo’s arrest soon reached the eldest prince Gavin Maris, who immediately felt the Prime Minister’s Office and met Chen Xing.
“Let me in!”
Outside the study, the tall Gavin Maris hurriedly pushed the housekeeper away and rushed in.
Seeing Chen Xing, he immediately knelt down on one knee, “My subordinates don’t know the seriousness, they offended the Prime Minister, it’s the minister who neglected to discipline me, and I’m here to apologize!”
Before Chen Xing could speak, Gavin Maris made a series of pleas, “Ricardo holds an important position in the army, and now the situation is tense, I implore your lord, for the sake of his loyalty and loyalty, be extra-judicial, order him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and wait for the war. After the end, they will be liquidated together.”
Chen Xing was in no hurry, got up and poured a glass of wine for Gavin, put it in front of the other party, then put it on the other party’s shoulder, walked around behind the other party, and said slowly, “The future Grand Duke of Red Dragon”
“The future of the entire country is yours, do you still need to care about one or two people?” Chen Xing asked.
“But” Gavin looked embarrassed, “In addition to being my subordinate, he is also my best friend, the Prime Minister.”
“If in your heart,” Chen Xing interrupted, “you recognize me as the Prime Minister, you should believe me.” He stared at the other party’s blue eyes, “Am I right, Your Royal Highness.”
The inarticulate Gavin Maris was quickly dismissed.
After a while, in the Thousand Candle Hall of the Red Fort, a man was sitting on the throne, and a girl was sitting on his lap, with ambiguous postures and sultry movements.
“I heard that you are playing eagle recently, so you are not afraid of being pecked on your eyes?” Alia teased. She has always disliked people who are too smart and self-righteous, such as Ricardo, so she has never used it.
“Maybe with your little brain, you can’t play eagle, but my brain doesn’t have this problem at all.”
Chen Xing’s attitude was very arrogant, and Alia pouted angrily, “You better not be too arrogant.”
“I just want to be arrogant, how about it?” Chen Xing deliberately pinched her waist, bared his teeth, and looked fierce.
“Hmph.” Aaliyah’s fingertips ran across his face, “you better be honest with me!”
“If you dare to forgive me,” she said with a strong threat in her eyes, “maybe I can’t do anything to you, who wants you to be my man, but your brothers, subjects, oh, and that one Little mother ant, don’t think I don’t know anything, I understand it in my stomach”
“Yes, yes, the princess is right!” Chen Xing hurriedly changed his tune, echoed incessantly, and couldn’t stop laughing, “The princess has a sharp mind and an extraordinary wit, and the elm head of this minister is absolutely incomparable.”
Alia raised her chin, wrinkled her nose, and snorted, “It’s almost the same.”
Facing such a cute and explosive girl, Chen Xing felt a chill down his spine. Companion is like a tiger, it is not fake.
