Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

Chapter 25 Phil's Proposal

After Feier was awakened by a series of sudden knocking on the door, he jumped out of bed without even thinking about putting on his coat.

If it weren't for an urgent event like an enemy raid, no one would bother me at two o'clock in the morning.With this kind of awareness, he opened the door without thinking much, and a salty smell of blood rushed towards his face, and the bitter cold outside penetrated into his nostrils. Phil's back felt cold, and his muscles tensed up immediately. , It took the next second to see clearly the appearance of the person coming.

Yan Liang's face and neck against the dense moonlight were covered with black blood stains, his eyes could not see clearly, but the silver collar badge on his uniform was dazzlingly bright. Before the other party could calm down, he grabbed Fair's hand shoulder, and dragged him out of the room.

"Save him, please save him..."

Yan Liang's tone was out of tune, he completely ignored the difference in identity, grabbed Fer's arm and pulled him downstairs, and started to trot.Passing through the dark path covered with strange tree shadows, the rustling footsteps startled a few perched wild birds.

"Damn! What did you do!"

As soon as he opened the door of the room, Fer found the dying young man lying on the ground. The blood stained a large carpet under his body, just like withered red maple leaves scattered all over the ground.His wrist was wrapped in thick rags, but fresh blood was still seeping out continuously.

Ferrong couldn't figure it out, so he rushed over immediately, knelt down, raised Junliu's injured hand on his knee, and at the same time took off the only shirt he was wearing, and quickly tore it into pieces with his teeth. I took the cloth strips, twisted them into a strong rope, tied them tightly above the bleeding wound, and tightened it desperately, so that the hideous wound with deep bones visible was like a dry riverbed no longer rushing.

"Come here," he quickly greeted Yan Liang, asking him to hold down the rope, "he won't bleed for a while, don't relax, wait until I find a doctor."

Phil rushed into the night again with his shirt on, heading straight for the general's residence.Unfortunately, the military doctors who were stationed at Elysee Manor two days ago had already gone to the base of Flying Mouse Creek to participate in the meeting of preparations and guarantees. There were only one or two nurses guarding the medicine depot, which were undoubtedly useless Yes, but calling the doctor over there for an emergency call now would take at least half an hour even by military helicopter.

The soldiers on guard were drowsy, and before they had time to fire a warning shot, Fer broke open the door and rushed into the dark living room with a few strides.

Anyone who broke into the chief's residence at night without any notification could be shot unconditionally. Fell ignored the severe threat of the guards who followed him, and knocked on the door of each bedroom one after another in the dark.

"Miss Amy Russo, Miss Amy Russo! Please come out! We have wounded!"

His voice pierced every corner loudly, and the whole house was instantly lit up.Soon, Phil was swarmed up by guards armed with live ammunition, his hands were cut behind his back, and he was kicked heavily on the knee, causing him to be easily pushed to the ground. Two loaded guns were pressed against his head. Resisting, and patiently waiting for Sean to come out of a room, the other party's sullen expression was mixed with incredible.

"Fair?" He looked at the subordinate who had always been rigorous, but now came to the door bare-chested, he couldn't help opening his mouth, "Are you crazy!"

"Forgive me for making a long story short, General." Fer raised his head with difficulty, speaking quickly but steadily, "Please ask Miss Amy to come out and save people, otherwise, Shangguan Jun's death here will do us no good at all."

"What did you say?"

"I'm afraid he committed suicide by cutting his wrists. The wound is very deep. When I arrived, I was almost dead."

Xiao En frowned, his anger still lingering, and he seemed unwilling to admit that the other party's reckless behavior was legal, "It's a capital offense for you to break in in the middle of the night, and you're still yelling because of this? He Ze is no longer Admit that he is still alive, and it doesn't matter whether we keep him or not. Thousands of people die in a single battle, so why worry about him?"

Just as Phil was about to argue, a small door at the end suddenly opened, and Amy put on a thick blue woolen coat, covering her petite body in light pajamas. He tidied up, his face was clean, his hair was pulled back neatly, and he was carrying a big white box in his hand.

"Don't talk about it, father," she walked forward calmly with her eyes level. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of her, which frightened the scene of the emerging dispute into silence. Then she didn't look at Sean, but He cast his eyes on Fer, who was firmly pressed to the ground, and there was a flat and humble atmosphere in his eyes that seemed to be hidden deep in the earth.

"Please lead the way, Captain."

"He Ze is a tiny place, small and poor, why can't he conquer it in ten years?"

"He is worthy of being the king of a country. Instead of letting us use hostages to contain him, we can simply kill the hostages ourselves, first stop our attempts, and then make use of them to stimulate the fighting spirit of the army."

"His Majesty An Lie is so merciful. He shouldn't have signed any war treaty in the first place. If we can still use biological and chemical weapons now, why is there so much trouble?"

"Come on, you don't want the land we occupy to have no grass growing?"

"At least the War Council won't use the convention to restrict our actions. The crime of kidnapping and killing members of the enemy's royal family is not a small crime. I don't know how long they will monitor us under the guise of investigation."

"Hey! What are you doing there?" A shout came from a distance, stopping the short chat of several pilots before training.

"Go back to your place, how many times have I told you," Meyer reprimanded in a stern tone as he approached, "Don't leave the work to the technicians! At least try to debug it yourself, or you will be forced to land in Hebei someday. In the desert on the border of Ze, I think you have to wait to die!"

After dismissing the idle juniors, Meyer sighed vaguely, and couldn't help turning his gaze to Michael who was not far away.

He climbed the ladder to the outside of the cockpit, knocked on the tempered glass in front of him, and Yan Liang, who was concentrating on browsing the weird data on the screen, noticed him, and slowly opened the cover, all kinds of sounds in the parking warehouse suddenly Flooded into this small one-person world.

"Never mind," Meyer smiled easily, already generously friendly, "I know it's not so good hearing them talk about attacking your country every day."

"What?" Yan Liang frowned indifferently, "You have a really good imagination."

Meyer didn't take his thorny answers seriously, but turned his attention to the flickering screen. The things displayed on it made him, a veteran with more than ten years of actual combat experience, feel flustered, as if he was facing a person in the most familiar object. A completely strange world.

"Teach me to drive her sometime," he said to himself, not expecting a response.

"No way," Yan Liang turned his eyes to the screen again with a blank face, still being stingy with his etiquette, "She is a conservative virgin, if she is fucked by one man, she won't let the second one."

Meyer suddenly burst out laughing, "Damn, you have such a good imagination."

After watching it for a while, he asked him seriously, "To be honest, you make me feel a sense of crisis. Although He Ze's air force quality has always been good, you already have an essential relationship with the enemy I met in Viano three years ago." The difference. How many pilots of your level are there in He Ze?"

Yanliang remained silent, and did not express any resistance. He thought of the kid who climbed the needles in less than a semester. At this time, he should be able to drive Michael as he wanted.

"Okay, I'll go and see Xuefeng." Meyer felt that he was making fun of himself, and shrugged his shoulders amiably, preparing to retreat.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one." Yan Liang said suddenly and slowly, "I'm the only one who can reach this level."

The only comfort for a fighter pilot is that even at the moment of death, he can see the magnificent scenery in the sky. Yan Liang feels that life withering together with the fireworks from the gunfire is the luck that cannot be expected.

As soon as he slid into the predetermined orbit, he quickly pulled the plane to the thinnest altitude, and then switched to the automatic flight mode. Flying in the airspace of a powerful country is mostly like doing nothing for a ride, and He Ze is obviously much more unlucky, even though It is not uncommon to encounter enemy aircraft during training.

Yan Liang closed his eyes and hid in Michael's arms. He had completely opened up his spiritual world to the other party, and he was allowed to show his fragile emotions here.His whole heart was emptied that night.If Junliu is lost, there will be no reason to continue flying. The moment he realizes this, he is surrounded by breathless fear. Even if a country's accusations are innocuous, but the boy's words can easily send him to hell.

He tried not to stay overnight at the air force base, and even if he sat in a car bumpy enough to make people vomit for three or four hours a day, he had to rush back to Elysee Manor.Junliu was in a coma for a long time due to massive blood loss, his face was as pale as a made puppet, and he stood motionless in the sunlight by the window.Yanliang slipped in when Amy left occasionally, and stood beside the bed silently watching the young man, his tranquility under the sun was so touching.Yan Liang forgot the passage of time, his eyes were scattered, as if he was still in the familiar sky, surrounded by light and slow clouds.

Don't go back to that high-sounding country again, even if you are envied and respected as the chief pilot of Lan Xiao, and you are the most beloved son of the beloved king, the gap between them is insurmountable.It's better for two people to use their humble identities here, even if they use the most despised identities, let's live together.

Yanliang's stiff and bitter mouth suddenly curled up. It turned out that his heart was always full of sorrow, not because he couldn't let go of hatred, but because he couldn't get a little love.

"I can protect you." He raised his head and looked at the sky separated by railings outside the narrow window. It was the only scenery the boy could freely look up to during his house arrest, even though the figure he wanted to see never appeared.

"In the future, I will protect you."

Amy held a water bottle full of fresh boiling water and pushed open the slightly ajar door. Except for the particles floating leisurely in the deserted sunlight, she couldn't even hear the slightest breathing sound. She quietly put the water bottle on the bed next to the bed. In the corner, just as he was about to take a breath, he found a handful of pink and white primroses beside Junliu's pillow, as if they were picked by someone from outside, and the tiny petals were scattered around his hair.

Even in lands far away from ice and snow, only this kind of simple wildflowers will bloom in winter. The pink petals are set off by the juvenile's carbon-black eyelashes and the corners of the cold gray mouth that have lost blood, and have a kind of morbid beauty.Amy couldn't help but looked out the window, but she didn't find any strange figures, then she closed the doors and windows tightly to keep out the cold.

The Santa Rafi Hospital where she practiced was originally a simple maternity hospital, and had to admit a large number of wounded during the war.Amy thought that after half a year of tempering there, no matter how tragic the injury was, she would not shrink back.However, that night, she couldn't stop crying during the rescue process. The lights in the room were too dark. They used all the flashlights they could find, but their hands were shaking violently, and the blood of the boy's body kept oozing out. Almost made her forget all first aid skills.

As a doctor, she was shocked by the god of death, and the shame still lingers in her mind.And why, she is used to the rampant death on the battlefield in the capital, but she can't bear to let him get involved with this foreign boy?

"What did he do wrong that you want to treat him like this?!"

Before recovering from the intimacy of the reunion not long ago, Sean was confronted with severe questions from his daughter. The general, who was used to her docile childhood, was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that the girl in front of him was no longer a brat. He is not a child, but a field doctor who can stand alone.

After the unpleasant quarrel, with a deliberate emotion, Amy rejected the nurse Fiance had kindly hired, and took on all the work of taking care of Junliu herself, staying in that simple room for almost a week.

She had poured clean hot water, and just as she was about to remove the old gauze to replace it, there was a moderate knock on the door.

"Please come in." As she replied, she did not forget to get up and carefully tuck the boy's quilt, so that even the slight draft when opening the door would not disturb him.

As soon as the words were finished, the door opened, and Feier walked in, nodding his head slightly, his light blue eyes still showing lukewarm politeness.

"Captain," Amy put down the things in her hands and immediately stood up from the chair, and said with a hint of guilt, "are you okay, when did you come out?"

"This morning," Fer said, looking at the boy who was still awake on the bed, "It seems that Lord Ramon will return from the headquarters this afternoon, and I can't be absent."

"I'm sorry, I should dissuade my father, at least... I should also visit you."

"No, your father didn't make things difficult for me, he was just doing business."

Fair spoke without ups and downs, and his voice somewhat concealed some fatigue.The confinement in a small dark space for five days and five nights made him a little sensitive to light, so he moved a few steps slightly to avoid the position facing the direct sunlight.

"How is he?"

"It's pretty stable. It may take some time to recover my strength. Thanks to you being there that day." After a hard rescue, Amy had a good impression of this man with a stern face and a neat style, so she smiled and added , "Thank you for the flowers too."

"Flowers?" he wondered.

"However, there are very few flowers in the garden in winter. It's a pity. Don't pick them next time."

It was only then that Phil noticed that the primrose that had been moved into the vase was so fresh that it still had the moisture of the morning.After being puzzled for a moment, he seemed to understand something, and then slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"This sentence should be from me to you, 'Thanks to you being there that day', it is your all-out efforts to save him that have allowed him to live until now."

Amy's smile became a bit bitter, and she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Junliu's sleeping face again, wondering if she was deeply attracted by the other's enthralling temperament when she first met, and their hostile positions became more stimulated her sympathy.

"He's...my friend."

Seeing the military vehicles with a tight escort appearing in the thin dust from a distance, Sean had been waiting at the entrance of the manor for a long time. This should be the last time the commander-in-chief visited the Elysee manor before the start of a new round of war. It was still necessary to leave a positive impression on La Beguerre after a short stop.

After Ramon got off the off-road vehicle with the red and black military flag on it, he returned the salute symbolically, but he didn't bother to exchange greetings with Sean, but went straight to Fer who was standing far behind.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard all the way." Feier immediately stood at attention energetically and gave a strict military salute.

Since completing the last sinister mission, before Ramon had time to greet his confidant, he looked at him with sincere admiration and said meaningfully, "It seems that you have had a good time during this month's vacation. Major."

Feier was startled, and looked into his boss's eyes suspiciously, wondering if the other party slipped for a while.

"Congratulations." Ramon was in a good mood, and he patted him on the shoulder again, no longer trying to keep it secret, "Although the mission completed last time was slightly different from the expected one, the military department is very satisfied. We have decided to promote you. You'll get your new epaulettes soon."

After realizing it, Fer just smiled lightly, and he didn't seem too happy. Just as he was about to say something again, Ramon, who knew his subordinate's temper, immediately snatched Bai, "You don't have to worry about your subordinates. I was at Flying Squirrel Creek last time. They have been promised corresponding rewards, and they are probably still on vacation. As for the brothers who died...their family members' information is registered in the military department, and the country will compensate them."

"I see." The expression on his face relaxed, and he noticed that Sean was still standing aside from the corner of his eye, so he took a step back wisely, "It's windy outside, please come in with us to rest first. "

The informal meeting at dusk took place in the large living room on the first floor of the General Building, warmed by a fireplace that had been burning for hours, and fresh black coffee from Romulus, one of the colonies of Yudu, has excellent natural resources.

There was a cold wind blowing outside the window, and under the yellow-orange lights inside the house, the atmosphere was considered mild and orderly.The senior military officers began to discuss the front-line organization and the program of preparations one by one, occasionally interspersed with light jokes, and seemed to be quite optimistic about the future situation.

"He Ze chose to start the war again, which shows that they are no longer prepared to retreat."

"It's a pity, I thought maybe I could take advantage of it. The prince's life can't even be exchanged for a city. You really understand the righteousness."

"That's not an ordinary city. What we want is the capital. It's impossible to think about it."

"Queen Anlie will never show mercy to stubborn enemies. The new round of battles will be tougher. He Ze is seeking his own death."

"I have experienced it before. In Romulus, in one night, the entire capital was blocked and massacred. There were no dogs left. The trees on both sides of the road were full of blood. Even our garrison dared not come here. Staying in that empty city..."

"That's because the people trapped in the city refused to surrender and poured mercury into the river, poisoning hundreds of our officers and soldiers to death, which made His Majesty angry."

"The Eastern Alliance has been fighting for ten years. When is this the end? Even if we capture them and conquer the Eastern Continent, what's the next step? Will the war continue?"

One sentence immediately led to a silence. Although it was a taboo negative topic, no one refuted it.Years of battles are enough to slowly cool down all the fanaticism. On the eve of preparing to attack the Eastern Continent, the whole country is shrouded in the illusory ambition of the world hegemony. The number of volunteers to join the army has reached the highest saturation point. Now, only Rabeger is still working hard to support With the prosperity at that time, the rest of the cities closer to the border, although the economic foundation is still there, but the basic social order is no longer there.

Ramon sighed. Facing the scarred motherland, it was not that he resisted this way of achieving the great cause of the country, but that he often felt ashamed of the loyal soldiers who had died fearlessly.

"It's useless to think about it now. It will do nothing but harm." He straightened his back and looked at the soldiers present with heavy eyes. "We must win. You are all senior officers of the army. If you are hesitant, It will scatter the morale of the army and create an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of."

After finishing speaking, he took two sips of coffee, and his tone turned helpless, "It's stupid enough to detain the other party's royal family members, but let us fall into a passive position. He Ze has already acted preemptively. Shangguan Junliu is of no value to us, even if we send him back now, it will only prove that we have indeed kidnapped him."

"Has His Majesty any instructions on how to deal with him?"

After a moment of hesitation, Ramon shook his head, "This matter is operated by the people in the military department. I don't know if they have notified His Majesty. Because the Pandu Army has been closely watched by the War Council recently, even for the purpose of protecting It is reasonable for His Majesty not to report this matter. After all, if something goes wrong, His Majesty can easily stay out of it if he is unaware of it, so as to prevent the situation from escalating."

Many people nodded in agreement and exchanged opinions with each other in low voices.

"Fair," Ramon suddenly turned his head, looking at his subordinate who was sitting in the corner and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, "You spent the longest time with that prince, and I want to hear your opinion."

Only then did he raise his head from the silence, stood up slowly, walked generously under the light, and then spoke gently under the watchful eyes of all the officers whose rank was higher than his own.

"I do have an idea."

No one made a sound, they waited intently for the young soldier to speak.

"Shangguan Junliu wears the obsidian coat of arms, which is the proof of military power in the Heze imperial family, which means that he has been designated as the future king. Since his father is so cruel that he betrays him, we can make good use of this opportunity .If he can be persuaded to cooperate with us and come forward to expose the king's lies, I mean, we just need to use our brains to help him make up some stories, exaggerating that Shangguan Yizheng wants to kill his own son for self-interest. Wait. After overcoming the pressure of public opinion, and Jun Liu has the orthodox inheritance right in his hands, he has the opportunity to overthrow his father's rule and ascend to the throne by himself."

"Of course," Feier said, the edge softened by the shaking fire on his face seemed to condense again, and a warm smile reappeared on the corner of his mouth, "He is just a puppet, and he is under our control from beginning to end. Bangdu's army will help him rule the entire Heze without sacrificing a single soldier."

As the meeting drew to a close, the officers in the room left their seats one after another. Fairley neatly packed up the documents left by his boss on the table, fastened them one by one with clips, and put them in the cabinet. There was a faint floor lamp beside the dewy stone road, and the cold air hit his bare neck first, and he couldn't help but tighten the coat he had just put on.

"It really opened my eyes..."

The words that came from his ear were deliberately suppressed in the cold night with only the sound of wind. Fer turned his head and found that Xiao En had walked shoulder to shoulder with him at some point, so his next step immediately slowed down, keeping a proper lag Your pace is respect for your superiors.

"When you came to knock on my door in the middle of the night last week, you were so anxious that you seemed so nervous about the innocent life. Even I thought you couldn't bear it after spending too long with that child." Sean teased Although the other party obeyed his five-day confinement without any excuse, his daughter's disobedience still made him feel uncomfortable. "A wolf is an animal that can kill even its companions. How can it have compassion?"

Fair still accepted his dissatisfaction as usual, and said calmly, "If more casualties can be avoided by using one person, I am happy to play this role."

As soon as the words fell, Sean suddenly took a step to block his way, and the two of them stopped halfway. He looked seriously at the pale-skinned man with tight lips in front of him, whose shadow was mixed into a dark blue color by the shadow of the brim of his hat. The eyes are like the perennial frozen lake of Samaki, the crystallization of stubbornness under the flawless smoothness.

"Then please don't mislead Amy. I don't care what your plans are. She went there purely to save people." In his more than ten years of combat career, Sean used a strong tone to express his personal feelings for the first time. Just because he just felt a hint of being cheated on behalf of his kind daughter, "Even if you want to do whatever you want to do with Shangguan Junliu, don't get her involved, I won't just stand by and watch her get hurt! What I said Do you understand enough?"

Fell glanced at his frowning brows, then lowered his eyes on the first button of the other's coat, and replied respectfully, "I see, sir."
