[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky
Chapter 72 Cancellation
Before the words fell, everyone's expressions changed.
Zhao Gou was originally irritable and anxious, but he couldn't afford to offend Linguo and Jinguo on both sides. At this moment, his eyebrows were directly knitted together, and the surprise in his eyes was completely undisguised.
What—return Chang'an, Chang'an to me?
When Li Shi finished reading this sentence, he felt mixed emotions, maybe because of his advanced age, he even felt a little palpitations.
The appearance of Lin Guo has completely disrupted Jin Guo's plan.
First of all, in terms of geographical location, Linguo is located in the north of Lin'an, which is a natural buffer and guard.
Regardless of whether the neighboring country is strong or not, it will help the Song country share part of the defense pressure.
And now the public sale of armaments is an unheard of phenomenon in the millennium!
When they sell such things, they must be hiding more powerful and domineering weapons, otherwise only the brains are broken to sell such terrifying chariots.
As the elder of the three dynasties, Li Shi himself was also a military commander. He had never seen such a horseless chariot that was not afraid of arrows, and he couldn't imagine what something more terrifying than this chariot would look like.
He did know from various news networks that Linguo kept a ghost bird, but how that ghost bird killed Wan Yanliang, where it is hiding now, and how it can be controlled are completely unknown. Solve the riddle.
Liu Xi and Bai Lu exchanged glances, then directly looked down at the map stored in the phone.
The land of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Dengzhou.
The meaning of the Kingdom of Jin is that if Xixia can be defeated, it will demand to take away all the territory of Xixia, but at the same time return the three continents south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains of the Song Dynasty in exchange.
Right now, both Jin and Song are willing to sign a contract, and the three countries cooperate to eliminate Xixia, but Lin Guo originally wanted to provoke the Song and Jin to tear up the meat, but now it has suddenly disrupted the situation.
Is it worthwhile to exchange half of the Xixia in Changan, Luoyang and Dengzhou?
More than a bargain!
From a military point of view, Xixia is located in a remote area and borders Mongolia. If that part of the city is captured, although there will be more places to raise horses, it will cause a lot of trouble in terms of defense and management.
What's more, the development of farmland and water conservancy there is far less than that brought by Chang'an.
Song Guo was able to take back these three places, and he really won't lose money.
What's more, Xixia itself has rebellious bones and swings from side to side, and it is very likely that in the future, he will take refuge in the superior side to fight the weaker side.
People in the Jin and Song Dynasties have been wary of this potential hidden danger for a long time, even if the emperor eagerly sends more gifts, they will not be able to get close.
"Because our dynasty still needs to prepare the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in five days, I would like to ask the two countries to make a decision early." Bai Lu said like a follower of kindness: "The last hour is left for the lords to discuss, and Linguo has already explained the appeal in the text. , no more participation.”
As soon as he withdrew, other Linguo officials also left. When they went out, they took out their mobile phones at the same time, and they didn't forget to close the door of the conference room.
The remaining people from the Jin and Song Dynasties looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Chang'an—Luoyang?" Zhao Gou chewed on the meaning, frowned and looked at Li Shi: "Prime Minister Li, what do you think of Lin Guo?"
Li Shi was also thinking about the meaning of the other party, and seeing Zhao Gou's intention to win over, he showed a subtle expression: "It is difficult to detect the truth, it is unfathomable."
"If you can win this chariot, conquering Xixia will be like finding something out of a pocket." Zhao Gou frowned and said, "But how will the Jin and Song Dynasties face Linmeng and Mongolia after that?"
Inside and outside the words, there is actually the meaning of forming an alliance.
Everyone in the other conference room watched the text live broadcast, and some people couldn't hold back their laughter, and burst into hahahaha with a pop.
After all, it is not a person of the same era.
They don't even realize that no matter how low the voice is, every word can be caught by the trap.
Seeing that the people of these two countries have already started to discuss how to get rid of Linguo after the matter is completed, Liu Xi's mood is quite complicated.
The current situation is probably like a female dormitory in a university.
There are four people living in the room, but there are five WeChat groups.
The relationship will become more and more capricious, and there is no possibility of a good relationship forever.
Bai Lu picked up the PAD that also displayed the map of the whole world and approached Liu Xi, pointing him to the location of Chang'an.
"Here?" Liu Xi blinked: "Then Jin Guo's calculations are pretty good."
"That's right," Bai Lu said with a smile, "Although Chang'an is considered to be the old capital of the past few dynasties, it is densely populated and well-built, but it is separated from Lin'an by mountains, not to mention whether the signal tower can project signals there. If you accept it, I am afraid that there will be another place restricted by the Kingdom of Jin."
"But it's impossible not to pick it up," Liu Xi frowned and analyzed: "If you don't pick it up, it will be tantamount to offending the Kingdom of Jin and increasing the possibility of going to war."
"Liu Yuanshou," the subordinate in charge of monitoring and recording raised his hand and said, "They have started discussing how to divide the chariots."
This is also to be expected.
Both the Jin and Song Dynasties are aware of each other's situation, even if they don't know the specific number of cards in the hole, they also understand the truth that they cannot both lose.
Since the iron thorn chariot is going to be sold publicly, it is nothing more than exchanging money and resources. Although the two countries have their own ideas, they don't want to lose too much.
"How much has it been discussed?"
"Just at the beginning." The listener covered his earphones with one hand and said, "I'm guessing how much these tanks are worth."
At the beginning, three mobile phones for the elderly were sold, with a total of 600 million units.
And these 10 vehicles eliminated from the tens of thousands of vehicles, each of which is [-]% to [-]% new, with an average price of no more than [-] yuan.
If calculated according to this price, [-] cars add up to [-] million.
Obviously, even if it is sold at the original price, it is a price that Jin Song cannot monopolize.
This car can only be sold at a low price, and the price should be controlled within the range that both countries can afford.
Song Guo's annual income is 7000 to [-] million guan, and it is too detrimental to spend real money to buy these things.
This is even more so in the Kingdom of Jin—their annual income is far less than that of Song.
Because of this, they can only exchange things of relatively inestimable value.
Land, mines, labour, timber, coal—
Liu Xun frowned, and looked at Qian Fan who was smoking again in the distance: "They—do they know the concept of installment payment?"
Qian Fan chuckled, and asked with a cigarette in his mouth: "They took the goods and left, what should they do if they regret it later?"
"Then we have sufficient reasons to go to war." Liu Xi said without hesitation: "When we were discussing the single-city movement, we mentioned that occupying multiple cities is only for mining resources, and we will not make any development—"
Things like resources cannot be all concentrated together.
If you really want to fight in the future, you must find some high-sounding reasons.
Bailu nodded slightly, and said after thinking, "I think it's time to intervene."
"Yes." Liu Xi stood up and said, "Anyway, they don't have an alarm clock, so they don't know how long two hours are, so they left."
Lin Guoyuan itself is just a small town, and there are actually not many people who can talk and give ideas.
Ten or twenty officials from the Song and Jin Dynasties came, but only six or seven people from Linguo came forward to negotiate.
But enough.
Zhao Gou was still arguing repeatedly with the officials headed by Li Shi, and there was a clear knock on the door in the distance, and Liu Xi's voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me."
The officials of Linguo filed in again, saluted politely and sat down, and the audience returned to silence.
Liu Xi stood in front of the podium and raised the five documents in his hand: "What I hold in my hand are five transaction documents, each of which represents the ownership of two hundred Ironthorn chariots."
"And these five documents will be sold in a public auction."
"Next, I invite Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Culture to give a public explanation."
auction?
What auction?
Many people had blank expressions on their faces.
When Minister Jiang spoke, he was very close to the microphone, so that his voice was so loud and clear that some people subconsciously covered their ears.
They didn't know it was a loudspeaker, and thought it was because the man's voice was too loud.
"Trades include but are not limited to gold and silver, copper coins, territories, ownership of mountains, etc."
"All interpretation rights belong to Linguo, and those who are not satisfied can withdraw from the auction at any time."
Li Shi's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this.
The news from Tokyo is not limited to those two lines.
Wan Yanyong obviously knew that Lin Guo wanted more than just money, so he directly made a list and told him what he could exchange.
"In addition," Minister Jiang straightened the microphone and said, "This country supports installment payments. The longest installment period does not exceed five years. The minimum installment is 500 million taels per year, and the maximum support is 500 million taels."
As he explained the concept of staging and the restraint method, the audience became more and more noisy, and everyone began to count with their fingers.
Lin Guo knew that these people did not know how to use a calculator, so he specially prepared the abacus in advance.
For a moment, the entire conference room was crackling with plans.
Liu Xi watched Minister Jiang preside over the auction process skillfully and calmly, and was slightly distracted.
This plan was something Liu Bai, Qian Li and the others started discussing a few months ago.
Purely from the starting point, the final result that Song and Jin wanted was to defeat each other and gain more territories and people.
But Linguo is different.
Although Linguo also needs to expand the area, strive for the second ring road in two years and the fifth ring road in four years, and in the new year's celebration, it can pull everyone to sing the song of the five ring rings, but the real need is to restore the level of technology and productivity.
At least... to return to the level around 2000.
Although they now have modern products such as mobile phones, computers, and automobiles, they can't make similar things at all.
The core reason is that there is no heavy industry
Light industry has begun to develop along with the revival of energy, and there are local entrepreneurs and others investing in it, and the development is relatively smooth.
But Jiangyin Town itself is weak in heavy industry, and the previous metallurgical and machinery industries all relied on other cities.
They have various theoretical monographs and references, but no corresponding factories and research centers.
If we want to move forward, we must develop the automobile industry and shipyards out of nothing, and carry out retro-style industrial upgrading.
From agriculture to handicrafts.
From handicrafts to light industry.
From light industry to heavy industry.
From heavy industry to tertiary industry.
Liu Xi and everyone else knew that their town was like an exiled civilization, imprisoned alone in Yangzhou City and Jiangyin City.
What the Three Kingdoms want is completely different.
Among the more than [-] vehicles, they selected the worst [-] vehicles and began to sell them publicly like sacrifices.
Everyone who participated in this plan knew that the thousand cars that were once used to transport traffic would become killing machines, used to wage war and kill people.
What they want in exchange is the capital that can accelerate the development of industry, and more importantly, the focus of war and the transfer of military pressure.
——Linguo needs a longer infrastructure construction period and a broader development space.
"The first document, start the auction." Minister Jiang glanced at the record on the screen, and reminded again: "If you want to increase the price, you can directly raise the signal card in your hand."
Zhao Gou glanced at Li Shi and said without hesitation, "400 million taels."
"600 taels!"
"800 taels!"
"Haizhou!"
The people of Song State looked at the people of Jin State suddenly, and someone obviously wanted to say something.
Haizhou——Haizhou is not the territory of the Kingdom of Jin at all!
In the middle of this year, not long after Wan Yanliang died, General Wei Sheng of the Song Dynasty gathered hundreds of people to attack Haizhou, and the record was almost one against one hundred!
Haizhou is isolated to the north of Chuzhou, and there are still frequent exchanges of Jin soldiers in the middle.
Since Wan Yanliang died and no longer invaded the south, those anti-golden activities did not trigger riots, but they were also active in the surrounding environment.
To the north of Yangzhou is Chuzhou, and to the north of Chuzhou is Haizhou.
In other words, Song and Jin coincidentally want to dump the two territories that are difficult to divide and maintain order to Linguo!
Of course, they didn't have the reason to be good people for nothing. Both sides auctioned off the chariot in order to gain a greater advantage in the war and to regain and occupy a larger territory.
"Haizhou once."
"Haizhou twice."
Minister Jiang looked at Liu Xun from afar, and said in a deep voice, "Three times in Haizhou."
"make a deal."
Five transaction documents were auctioned off one after another.
In addition to Chuzhou and Haizhou, a large amount of precious metals and mineral resources were also sold out, and the three countries signed an agreement on the spot to start a deeper exchange of interests.
Cars are commodities, and gasoline and maintenance at all levels have become the price tags for planning wars.
Liu Xi's request was very simple. Song and Jin must first use this chariot to attack Xixia, and the designated imperial chariot envoy must be sent to Linguo to learn the driving skills of the chariot.
If Song and Jin violated the treaty, Linguo had the right to directly cut off gasoline and other technical support.
Both Zhao Gou and Li Shi's faces were blue.
It never happened to them--nor did they talk about it.
Lin Guo's abacus was played so loudly that everyone could guess what they wanted.
But none of them could resist the temptation of this chariot——
A galloping Benz that can run like lightning, and a car of steel that can crush and crush war horses!
Not to mention hundreds of cars, just one, they can't make it with all the efforts of the whole country!
In the last few days of the meeting, Qian Fan and others became more and more tired.
The signing of the contract was naturally handed over to Liu Xi and Bailu for approval, and it was enough for the rest of them to help refer to and check the details.
Sometimes Qian Fan left halfway to go to the military factory to see the tanks that had been refitted in batches, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
If Lin Guo really took out [-] vehicles, it would really not be difficult to flatten Lin'an City first, and then crush it all the way to Tokyo.
Not to mention conquering the world, they can completely snatch the entire continent.
But... what's the point of grabbing more land?
What Qian Fan hated the most before was going on a business trip, which meant being stuck on a high-speed rail plane and going to a strange city to continue running for work.
But now, he really wants to take a plane back to Shidu, see the high-rise buildings in the steel forest there, and go to the coffee shop to see those indifferent white-collar workers with exquisite makeup.
Can't go back anymore.
-
When Liu Zi sent off the envoys from the Jin and Song Dynasties, he suddenly thought of Xin Qiji's expression.
If I go back and fall asleep, I may have to sleep for four or five days.
By that time, You'an probably has already mastered the magical skill of 'how to take care of a vegetable'.
Speaking of which, this international student from the Kingdom of Jin is really studious.
Not only Director Cai is full of praise when he mentions him, but the librarian is also familiar with him.
——Although this person is devoted to serving the country with all his heart, there is a high probability that he will leave after finishing his studies, but Liu Xi alone will feel a sense of relief.
The defense capabilities of neighboring countries are constantly being strengthened. Appropriate technology leaks can boost the productivity and purchasing power of neighboring countries. Everything depends on how to balance and grasp it.
Bai Lu came out with the car keys in his hand, obviously intending to ride a small bicycle back home.
"White Deer." Liu Xi leaned on the sports car and looked sideways at him, and called out, "You and I go to the police station."
"Eh?" Bai Lu blinked, turned around and walked towards him: "What's wrong?"
"Let's go and study the matter of Xia Yunqi." Liu Xi frowned and said, "Do you know that she has completely devoted herself to the Kingdom of Jin?"
Bailu was stunned, raised his hand and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "I'll cooperate with you."
Because Zhao Qingyu watched too many goofy dramas, she never told Liu Xi about any trivial matter.
His parents were left behind in the original time and space, and the only person he trusted and relied on was Liu Xi.
After asking her name at Bailu's last time, Zhao Qingyu talked about it with Liu Xun a little shyly, probably out of missing the old matchmaker back then, and wanted to find out where this young lady is.
——After the space-time mutation, it is very likely that the government will assign him to be a teacher or a manager of some institution.
If Brother Bai could see her, he would be very happy.
Liu Xi looked at Zhao Qingyu in surprise for a few seconds, and decided to tell the truth: "She went to the Kingdom of Jin."
In fact, it wasn't long before I left here, and I left Yangzhou City with the people of Jin completely voluntarily.
Zhao Qingyu's face was blank: "She went by herself? Is she still alive?"
"This matter...let me handle it." Liu Xi sighed, and rubbed the young man's fluffy hair: "You little bastard, why are you messing with me every day?"
The name Yunqi was mentioned by Qian Bureau, and Bai Bureau cared about it, and now it has become a part of the Kingdom of Jin.
Why give up the good modern life, leave Jiangyin, and refuse to turn back when you can choose to come back?
Liu Zi himself is sensitive and cautious in his work, and dare not make any mistakes.
This woman has been involved in too many things, he must find out.
Bai Lu sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt consciously.
——Although the only thing that will affect the traffic on the road now is the cows and horses that can't pull the reins.
"I said," he looked at Liu Xun's skillful shifting, and his tone was a bit hesitant: "Is this girl a suspect now?"
"Ah?" Liu Xun slightly looked at him in surprise, "What crime did she commit?"
Bailu rubbed his chin and said, "I'm not sure, I'll tell you later?"
"The situation is that she went to the Kingdom of Jin, and she seems to be involved in the diplomatic affairs of the two countries - her motives are unknown, and her ability is unknown." Liu Xi drove to Jiangyin City, explaining: "Because I have to go to see Tesla later. We went directly to Jiangyin’s police station for the detonation test.”
"Ok."
Liu Xun was slightly surprised by Bailu's cooperation.
In Zhao Qingyu's mouth, Bailu and Yunqi are like Romeo and Juliet, and Yunqi is the white moonlight cinnabar mole in Director Bai's heart.
But when Bai Lu mentioned this girl in front of Liu Xi, he acted calmly and calmly like an outsider.
"the reason is simple."
On the way back, Bailu held a milk tea and said slowly: "I have never dated her before. We only met a few times in college, and we didn't even strike up a conversation."
Liu Xi paid attention to the road conditions, and asked doubtfully, "Such a beautiful girl, it's fine if you didn't dare to fall in love when you were young—you still can't bear to chase after college?"
Bailu looked out the window at the mountains, forests and grasslands exuding a primitive atmosphere, and said without changing his face: "It was once rumored that she was a woman who was taken care of by high-ranking officials."
"Huh?" Liu Xi didn't expect things to gossip to such an extent, and suddenly understood Bai Lu's estranged attitude from a man's point of view: "Is there any real hammer?"
"There was a regular limousine to drive her to and from school, and no matter how absent she was from school, all the teachers defaulted to covering her up."
Seeing the vehicle enter the gate, Bailu cooperatively showed the QR code on the watch, and asked the security personnel to check all directions.
They quickly entered the Jiangyin City Police Station and stopped in the shade of a tree.
It was already late autumn, and the leaves were neatly piled up next to the roots, like a pool of ashes.
"Before I was in college, I'm afraid I hadn't seen her for six or seven years," Bailu thought when he opened the door, "When I saw her again, I recognized her only because she still called her by that name."
Liu Xi patted him on the shoulder gently, and comforted him: "It's all over."
"I'm afraid there is no past." Bai Lu looked at him and said, "Didn't you say that she went to the Kingdom of Jin?"
"I always feel that this matter has an inseparable relationship with her in the past 15 years."
Liu Zi collected his mind and said, "Let's check her household registration information and criminal records."
Just like the government's internal information network, the police station's database also has a corresponding backup, and the identity information of each citizen can be checked.
As soon as Liu Xun appeared in the police station, everyone was surprised and awed. They must have heard about all the things he did.
The living standards of Jiangyin people are constantly recovering—although they can't live better than before, thanks to the hard-working head of state.
The current chief of police is Qian Fan's former subordinate. When he saw Liu Xun, he couldn't help bowing and gave up his office so that they could chat and check information more conveniently.
Liu Xi searched, and soon found Yunqi's identity and employment records in Jiangyin.
——Exactly the same as Qian Fan's caliber, director and executive of the pharmaceutical industry, but invested with personal capital.
Why did she have money to invest in the company at such a young age?
Could it be that his family background is at the same level as Li Luan's?
Bailu signaled him to copy her ID code to check relevant information across the country.
"Her household registration... there is a problem."
Liu Xi frowned and flipped through her family information, then turned to look at Bai Lu and said, "Why do you two have the same home addresses?"
Room 331, Building C6, Zi'an Community, No. 201 Duzhong Road, Jingwei District, Shidu.
The last time when the deputy head of state took office, Liu Xun, as the head of state, had to sign documents and read Bailu's political review materials.
So he has an impression of this place, and now he can directly connect the two.
"It's not exactly the same," Bailu pointed to the gate number behind the complex, and explained, "It used to be a neighbor relationship."
"Here, look," Liu Xi continued to observe every detail: "Her family's household registration and family information have been cancelled—both parents have had their identities canceled because of their deaths, and I also have traces of my identities cancelled."
In other words, judging from the historical records of the system, Yunqi's family was wiped out for some reason, so her household registration and identity information were cancelled, but for some reason, she herself reactivated her identity information, Continue to live as Yunqi.
"Logged out—logged out?!" The expression on Bai Lu's face was blank: "Has Uncle Yun passed away?"
"The logout time is August 2018, 8." Liu Xi zoomed in on the page, allowing him to see clearly the fine print on that line of remarks: "Cause of death: car accident."
"The same is true for his wife, Ms. Mu, who died in a car accident as well."
"Impossible—" Bailu finally realized what was happening, and put together the things in his memory: "2018, that is, 12 years ago—"
"It was 13 years ago." Liu Xi reminded: "The space-time mutation has been close to a year."
"13 years ago?" Bai Lu felt breathless when he saw the five words 'identity has been cancelled'.
How could the kind and gentle couple in memory be dead? !
Yunqi 13 years ago was only 15 years old.
Yes, it was around that time period that my parents began to strictly prohibit mentioning this surname and her first name.
what happened? !
"Calm down first," Liu Xi tapped the cold table with his knuckles, signaling Bailu to refocus his eyes.
"Yun Qi's identity was canceled at the same time as her parents, which means that she has been recorded as dead."
It turned out that both her parents were dead.
No wonder what happened afterwards...
No wonder I'm witnessing...
When Bai Lu spoke again, his voice was a little choked up: "I really didn't expect that they died 13 years ago."
"However, judging from the records of the Shidu Jingwei District Police Station, the reason for the activation of Yunqi's identity is 'I did not die', and it seems that he survived the car accident." Liu Ziman speculated without a clue: "Whether the car accident is real or not is another matter, but it's impossible for another person to pretend to be her. It would be great if I could go to Zi'an Community..."
"You can't go."
"I know, it's all changed in time and space—"
"No, I mean," Bai Lu took a deep breath, "Zian Community itself doesn't exist."
"What?" Liu Zi was stunned for a moment, before asking, "Secret address?"
"Well," the young man whispered: "I can't find the place to live at all. Although it is in the suburbs of Shidu, I can't locate it at all. I was not sensible when I was young."
"Both of you are children of the secrecy unit?" Liu Xi felt that this matter was getting further and further away, but he still tried to ask clearly: "What field?"
"I don't know. Children are not allowed to ask about this kind of thing, and they can't know anything." Bai Lu rubbed his face and said, "It probably has something to do with physics. I eavesdropped on my dad's phone call."
Liu Xi sighed and tried to bring things back: "Death reactivated the identity, and then I didn't know where to stay for a few years. I was admitted to Shidu University. After graduation, I failed the moral test three times in the Senate and Political Council, and entered Jiangyin. The city serves as a director of a pharmaceutical company—wait a minute, did you come to Jiangyin because of her?!"
"Yes." Bailu replied straightforwardly: "I am her junior, and I am two years younger than her."
"No, you haven't dated her yet, why are you chasing her here?" Liu Xi said in disbelief, "She may not remember you, your unrequited love has been too long."
Bailu was silent for a while, then turned around and turned around the chair.
He turned his back to Liu Xi, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
"Yun Qi has not changed people, no one can impersonate her identity."
"When I saw her again at school, she was like, like..."
It's like completely rotten.
With the development and growth, her facial features became more three-dimensional and exquisite, and her figure became taller and more outstanding.
Even photos without makeup can be rated as the current school belle.
But Bailu had seen her expression when she was alone.
The eyes are empty and soulless.
Like a gorgeous skeleton.
Yun Qi completed all the credits in the second semester of her sophomore year—she even spent the winter and summer vacations studying textbooks by herself and waiting to take the exam.
Then there is the combination of master and doctor, and the speed of completing studies is much faster than others.
It's as if being pushed by something, constantly trying to catch up with something.
She is no longer that innocent and gentle little girl, nor is she the girl who can tilt her head and play the violin.
Bai Lu looked at Yun Qi who was sitting alone in the classroom from a distance that day, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and he didn't dare to ask
"Since you care, you shouldn't leave her there alone."
Hearing this, Liu Zi frowned and said, "Li Luan also showed such an expression before."
Bailu was stunned and asked: "You and her—"
"I'm crooked, so I don't need to think too much about it." Liu Xi casually deleted the search history, and said with a sip of water, "I stayed with her for a long time before letting her come back to life little by little."
"I'm afraid you are living in self-blame and interrogation now."
Bai Lu didn't ask much about Minister Li, turned his back to him in silence, and said after a while: "Later, when I was a junior, my parents and I went to a reception of high-level government officials."
"She was held in the arms of a high-ranking official, and she dressed up and smiled like a noble lady living in luxury."
"I saw her again later, at another banquet. This time, she was in another person's arms."
"Liu Xi," Bai Lu turned around, his eyes slightly red, "I'm obsessed with ghosts, that's why I chased all the way here."
"There is no longer any possibility."
Liu Xi thought about it for a long time, and decided to smoke a cigarette with him.
He took out the white bird that he had been reluctant to touch, and took him outside the office.
He originally wanted to investigate this woman's motives and background, but the things involved have exceeded his expectations.
Bailu doesn't know how to smoke, but he picked up the white bird and took a big drag.
Then he was choked and coughed, and he couldn't breathe for a while.
Liu Xi looked at this gentle and gentle man, and only lowered his head to help him pat his back.
Why are these girls living so hard.
And it seems that no one can help them solve the things they have experienced, and they can only resist it by themselves.
It is not easy for Li Luan to live as he is today.
The girl named Yunqi, whose parents died at the age of 15, the cause of death was obviously covered up, and it is not known whether she witnessed the process.
If there is, and it is tragic...
I'm afraid she will be tormented by nightmares that she cannot escape, just like Li Luan.
Bai Lu coughed up tears, forced to finish smoking the cigarette with red eyes, and extinguished the cigarette butt like Liu Xi.
Liu Xi looked at him without speaking for a long time, and looked down at the messages on the phone.
"Long Mu asked me when I would go to watch the experiment—do you want to come?"
He turned sideways slightly, and his tone of speech slowed down a lot: "Those things in the past are hard to change, do you want to look at something else to divert your attention?"
Bai Lu nodded, straightened the corners of his collar and clothes, and when he walked out of the police station, he had returned to his identity as Deputy Head of State Bai, suppressing all those memories.
Zhao Qingyu lay beside Long Mu, looked at the vast field in the distance, yawned lazily and said, "Why haven't Uncle Liu and the others come yet?"
Qian Fan next to him was snoring like thunder, sleeping very soundly.
Li Luan originally didn't want to watch this kind of ear-exploding scene, but it was related to her design direction of the outer city wall, so she had to attend this time.
After a cup of coffee was finished, Liu Xi and Bai Lu drove to find this place.
To the south of Jiangyin City is a vast wasteland surrounded by mountains in the distance.
This has been opened up as a new experimental area, and new venues will be found one after another in the future.
——For example, Haizhou and Chuzhou whose ownership rights were sold.
"Uncle Liu, are you ready?" Zhao Qingyu shook the controller in her hand and smiled playfully: "Do you want to have a small scene first?"
Sitting next to the computer, Wu Gong rubbed his hands nervously: "Is there really no problem with the transformer?"
"No problem, rest assured."
Liu Xi took the coffee from Li Luan, glanced at Qian Fan who was still soundly asleep, waved his hand and said, "Let's get started."
Zhao Qingyu raised the controller with a smile, and pressed the button under everyone's gaze.
At that moment, the entire row of isolation belts in the distance exploded with lightning, and the roaring thunderstorm sounded like the sky bursting!
Qian Fan jumped up from the recliner with a howl.
Zhao Gou was originally irritable and anxious, but he couldn't afford to offend Linguo and Jinguo on both sides. At this moment, his eyebrows were directly knitted together, and the surprise in his eyes was completely undisguised.
What—return Chang'an, Chang'an to me?
When Li Shi finished reading this sentence, he felt mixed emotions, maybe because of his advanced age, he even felt a little palpitations.
The appearance of Lin Guo has completely disrupted Jin Guo's plan.
First of all, in terms of geographical location, Linguo is located in the north of Lin'an, which is a natural buffer and guard.
Regardless of whether the neighboring country is strong or not, it will help the Song country share part of the defense pressure.
And now the public sale of armaments is an unheard of phenomenon in the millennium!
When they sell such things, they must be hiding more powerful and domineering weapons, otherwise only the brains are broken to sell such terrifying chariots.
As the elder of the three dynasties, Li Shi himself was also a military commander. He had never seen such a horseless chariot that was not afraid of arrows, and he couldn't imagine what something more terrifying than this chariot would look like.
He did know from various news networks that Linguo kept a ghost bird, but how that ghost bird killed Wan Yanliang, where it is hiding now, and how it can be controlled are completely unknown. Solve the riddle.
Liu Xi and Bai Lu exchanged glances, then directly looked down at the map stored in the phone.
The land of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Dengzhou.
The meaning of the Kingdom of Jin is that if Xixia can be defeated, it will demand to take away all the territory of Xixia, but at the same time return the three continents south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains of the Song Dynasty in exchange.
Right now, both Jin and Song are willing to sign a contract, and the three countries cooperate to eliminate Xixia, but Lin Guo originally wanted to provoke the Song and Jin to tear up the meat, but now it has suddenly disrupted the situation.
Is it worthwhile to exchange half of the Xixia in Changan, Luoyang and Dengzhou?
More than a bargain!
From a military point of view, Xixia is located in a remote area and borders Mongolia. If that part of the city is captured, although there will be more places to raise horses, it will cause a lot of trouble in terms of defense and management.
What's more, the development of farmland and water conservancy there is far less than that brought by Chang'an.
Song Guo was able to take back these three places, and he really won't lose money.
What's more, Xixia itself has rebellious bones and swings from side to side, and it is very likely that in the future, he will take refuge in the superior side to fight the weaker side.
People in the Jin and Song Dynasties have been wary of this potential hidden danger for a long time, even if the emperor eagerly sends more gifts, they will not be able to get close.
"Because our dynasty still needs to prepare the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in five days, I would like to ask the two countries to make a decision early." Bai Lu said like a follower of kindness: "The last hour is left for the lords to discuss, and Linguo has already explained the appeal in the text. , no more participation.”
As soon as he withdrew, other Linguo officials also left. When they went out, they took out their mobile phones at the same time, and they didn't forget to close the door of the conference room.
The remaining people from the Jin and Song Dynasties looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Chang'an—Luoyang?" Zhao Gou chewed on the meaning, frowned and looked at Li Shi: "Prime Minister Li, what do you think of Lin Guo?"
Li Shi was also thinking about the meaning of the other party, and seeing Zhao Gou's intention to win over, he showed a subtle expression: "It is difficult to detect the truth, it is unfathomable."
"If you can win this chariot, conquering Xixia will be like finding something out of a pocket." Zhao Gou frowned and said, "But how will the Jin and Song Dynasties face Linmeng and Mongolia after that?"
Inside and outside the words, there is actually the meaning of forming an alliance.
Everyone in the other conference room watched the text live broadcast, and some people couldn't hold back their laughter, and burst into hahahaha with a pop.
After all, it is not a person of the same era.
They don't even realize that no matter how low the voice is, every word can be caught by the trap.
Seeing that the people of these two countries have already started to discuss how to get rid of Linguo after the matter is completed, Liu Xi's mood is quite complicated.
The current situation is probably like a female dormitory in a university.
There are four people living in the room, but there are five WeChat groups.
The relationship will become more and more capricious, and there is no possibility of a good relationship forever.
Bai Lu picked up the PAD that also displayed the map of the whole world and approached Liu Xi, pointing him to the location of Chang'an.
"Here?" Liu Xi blinked: "Then Jin Guo's calculations are pretty good."
"That's right," Bai Lu said with a smile, "Although Chang'an is considered to be the old capital of the past few dynasties, it is densely populated and well-built, but it is separated from Lin'an by mountains, not to mention whether the signal tower can project signals there. If you accept it, I am afraid that there will be another place restricted by the Kingdom of Jin."
"But it's impossible not to pick it up," Liu Xi frowned and analyzed: "If you don't pick it up, it will be tantamount to offending the Kingdom of Jin and increasing the possibility of going to war."
"Liu Yuanshou," the subordinate in charge of monitoring and recording raised his hand and said, "They have started discussing how to divide the chariots."
This is also to be expected.
Both the Jin and Song Dynasties are aware of each other's situation, even if they don't know the specific number of cards in the hole, they also understand the truth that they cannot both lose.
Since the iron thorn chariot is going to be sold publicly, it is nothing more than exchanging money and resources. Although the two countries have their own ideas, they don't want to lose too much.
"How much has it been discussed?"
"Just at the beginning." The listener covered his earphones with one hand and said, "I'm guessing how much these tanks are worth."
At the beginning, three mobile phones for the elderly were sold, with a total of 600 million units.
And these 10 vehicles eliminated from the tens of thousands of vehicles, each of which is [-]% to [-]% new, with an average price of no more than [-] yuan.
If calculated according to this price, [-] cars add up to [-] million.
Obviously, even if it is sold at the original price, it is a price that Jin Song cannot monopolize.
This car can only be sold at a low price, and the price should be controlled within the range that both countries can afford.
Song Guo's annual income is 7000 to [-] million guan, and it is too detrimental to spend real money to buy these things.
This is even more so in the Kingdom of Jin—their annual income is far less than that of Song.
Because of this, they can only exchange things of relatively inestimable value.
Land, mines, labour, timber, coal—
Liu Xun frowned, and looked at Qian Fan who was smoking again in the distance: "They—do they know the concept of installment payment?"
Qian Fan chuckled, and asked with a cigarette in his mouth: "They took the goods and left, what should they do if they regret it later?"
"Then we have sufficient reasons to go to war." Liu Xi said without hesitation: "When we were discussing the single-city movement, we mentioned that occupying multiple cities is only for mining resources, and we will not make any development—"
Things like resources cannot be all concentrated together.
If you really want to fight in the future, you must find some high-sounding reasons.
Bailu nodded slightly, and said after thinking, "I think it's time to intervene."
"Yes." Liu Xi stood up and said, "Anyway, they don't have an alarm clock, so they don't know how long two hours are, so they left."
Lin Guoyuan itself is just a small town, and there are actually not many people who can talk and give ideas.
Ten or twenty officials from the Song and Jin Dynasties came, but only six or seven people from Linguo came forward to negotiate.
But enough.
Zhao Gou was still arguing repeatedly with the officials headed by Li Shi, and there was a clear knock on the door in the distance, and Liu Xi's voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me."
The officials of Linguo filed in again, saluted politely and sat down, and the audience returned to silence.
Liu Xi stood in front of the podium and raised the five documents in his hand: "What I hold in my hand are five transaction documents, each of which represents the ownership of two hundred Ironthorn chariots."
"And these five documents will be sold in a public auction."
"Next, I invite Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Culture to give a public explanation."
auction?
What auction?
Many people had blank expressions on their faces.
When Minister Jiang spoke, he was very close to the microphone, so that his voice was so loud and clear that some people subconsciously covered their ears.
They didn't know it was a loudspeaker, and thought it was because the man's voice was too loud.
"Trades include but are not limited to gold and silver, copper coins, territories, ownership of mountains, etc."
"All interpretation rights belong to Linguo, and those who are not satisfied can withdraw from the auction at any time."
Li Shi's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this.
The news from Tokyo is not limited to those two lines.
Wan Yanyong obviously knew that Lin Guo wanted more than just money, so he directly made a list and told him what he could exchange.
"In addition," Minister Jiang straightened the microphone and said, "This country supports installment payments. The longest installment period does not exceed five years. The minimum installment is 500 million taels per year, and the maximum support is 500 million taels."
As he explained the concept of staging and the restraint method, the audience became more and more noisy, and everyone began to count with their fingers.
Lin Guo knew that these people did not know how to use a calculator, so he specially prepared the abacus in advance.
For a moment, the entire conference room was crackling with plans.
Liu Xi watched Minister Jiang preside over the auction process skillfully and calmly, and was slightly distracted.
This plan was something Liu Bai, Qian Li and the others started discussing a few months ago.
Purely from the starting point, the final result that Song and Jin wanted was to defeat each other and gain more territories and people.
But Linguo is different.
Although Linguo also needs to expand the area, strive for the second ring road in two years and the fifth ring road in four years, and in the new year's celebration, it can pull everyone to sing the song of the five ring rings, but the real need is to restore the level of technology and productivity.
At least... to return to the level around 2000.
Although they now have modern products such as mobile phones, computers, and automobiles, they can't make similar things at all.
The core reason is that there is no heavy industry
Light industry has begun to develop along with the revival of energy, and there are local entrepreneurs and others investing in it, and the development is relatively smooth.
But Jiangyin Town itself is weak in heavy industry, and the previous metallurgical and machinery industries all relied on other cities.
They have various theoretical monographs and references, but no corresponding factories and research centers.
If we want to move forward, we must develop the automobile industry and shipyards out of nothing, and carry out retro-style industrial upgrading.
From agriculture to handicrafts.
From handicrafts to light industry.
From light industry to heavy industry.
From heavy industry to tertiary industry.
Liu Xi and everyone else knew that their town was like an exiled civilization, imprisoned alone in Yangzhou City and Jiangyin City.
What the Three Kingdoms want is completely different.
Among the more than [-] vehicles, they selected the worst [-] vehicles and began to sell them publicly like sacrifices.
Everyone who participated in this plan knew that the thousand cars that were once used to transport traffic would become killing machines, used to wage war and kill people.
What they want in exchange is the capital that can accelerate the development of industry, and more importantly, the focus of war and the transfer of military pressure.
——Linguo needs a longer infrastructure construction period and a broader development space.
"The first document, start the auction." Minister Jiang glanced at the record on the screen, and reminded again: "If you want to increase the price, you can directly raise the signal card in your hand."
Zhao Gou glanced at Li Shi and said without hesitation, "400 million taels."
"600 taels!"
"800 taels!"
"Haizhou!"
The people of Song State looked at the people of Jin State suddenly, and someone obviously wanted to say something.
Haizhou——Haizhou is not the territory of the Kingdom of Jin at all!
In the middle of this year, not long after Wan Yanliang died, General Wei Sheng of the Song Dynasty gathered hundreds of people to attack Haizhou, and the record was almost one against one hundred!
Haizhou is isolated to the north of Chuzhou, and there are still frequent exchanges of Jin soldiers in the middle.
Since Wan Yanliang died and no longer invaded the south, those anti-golden activities did not trigger riots, but they were also active in the surrounding environment.
To the north of Yangzhou is Chuzhou, and to the north of Chuzhou is Haizhou.
In other words, Song and Jin coincidentally want to dump the two territories that are difficult to divide and maintain order to Linguo!
Of course, they didn't have the reason to be good people for nothing. Both sides auctioned off the chariot in order to gain a greater advantage in the war and to regain and occupy a larger territory.
"Haizhou once."
"Haizhou twice."
Minister Jiang looked at Liu Xun from afar, and said in a deep voice, "Three times in Haizhou."
"make a deal."
Five transaction documents were auctioned off one after another.
In addition to Chuzhou and Haizhou, a large amount of precious metals and mineral resources were also sold out, and the three countries signed an agreement on the spot to start a deeper exchange of interests.
Cars are commodities, and gasoline and maintenance at all levels have become the price tags for planning wars.
Liu Xi's request was very simple. Song and Jin must first use this chariot to attack Xixia, and the designated imperial chariot envoy must be sent to Linguo to learn the driving skills of the chariot.
If Song and Jin violated the treaty, Linguo had the right to directly cut off gasoline and other technical support.
Both Zhao Gou and Li Shi's faces were blue.
It never happened to them--nor did they talk about it.
Lin Guo's abacus was played so loudly that everyone could guess what they wanted.
But none of them could resist the temptation of this chariot——
A galloping Benz that can run like lightning, and a car of steel that can crush and crush war horses!
Not to mention hundreds of cars, just one, they can't make it with all the efforts of the whole country!
In the last few days of the meeting, Qian Fan and others became more and more tired.
The signing of the contract was naturally handed over to Liu Xi and Bailu for approval, and it was enough for the rest of them to help refer to and check the details.
Sometimes Qian Fan left halfway to go to the military factory to see the tanks that had been refitted in batches, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
If Lin Guo really took out [-] vehicles, it would really not be difficult to flatten Lin'an City first, and then crush it all the way to Tokyo.
Not to mention conquering the world, they can completely snatch the entire continent.
But... what's the point of grabbing more land?
What Qian Fan hated the most before was going on a business trip, which meant being stuck on a high-speed rail plane and going to a strange city to continue running for work.
But now, he really wants to take a plane back to Shidu, see the high-rise buildings in the steel forest there, and go to the coffee shop to see those indifferent white-collar workers with exquisite makeup.
Can't go back anymore.
-
When Liu Zi sent off the envoys from the Jin and Song Dynasties, he suddenly thought of Xin Qiji's expression.
If I go back and fall asleep, I may have to sleep for four or five days.
By that time, You'an probably has already mastered the magical skill of 'how to take care of a vegetable'.
Speaking of which, this international student from the Kingdom of Jin is really studious.
Not only Director Cai is full of praise when he mentions him, but the librarian is also familiar with him.
——Although this person is devoted to serving the country with all his heart, there is a high probability that he will leave after finishing his studies, but Liu Xi alone will feel a sense of relief.
The defense capabilities of neighboring countries are constantly being strengthened. Appropriate technology leaks can boost the productivity and purchasing power of neighboring countries. Everything depends on how to balance and grasp it.
Bai Lu came out with the car keys in his hand, obviously intending to ride a small bicycle back home.
"White Deer." Liu Xi leaned on the sports car and looked sideways at him, and called out, "You and I go to the police station."
"Eh?" Bai Lu blinked, turned around and walked towards him: "What's wrong?"
"Let's go and study the matter of Xia Yunqi." Liu Xi frowned and said, "Do you know that she has completely devoted herself to the Kingdom of Jin?"
Bailu was stunned, raised his hand and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "I'll cooperate with you."
Because Zhao Qingyu watched too many goofy dramas, she never told Liu Xi about any trivial matter.
His parents were left behind in the original time and space, and the only person he trusted and relied on was Liu Xi.
After asking her name at Bailu's last time, Zhao Qingyu talked about it with Liu Xun a little shyly, probably out of missing the old matchmaker back then, and wanted to find out where this young lady is.
——After the space-time mutation, it is very likely that the government will assign him to be a teacher or a manager of some institution.
If Brother Bai could see her, he would be very happy.
Liu Xi looked at Zhao Qingyu in surprise for a few seconds, and decided to tell the truth: "She went to the Kingdom of Jin."
In fact, it wasn't long before I left here, and I left Yangzhou City with the people of Jin completely voluntarily.
Zhao Qingyu's face was blank: "She went by herself? Is she still alive?"
"This matter...let me handle it." Liu Xi sighed, and rubbed the young man's fluffy hair: "You little bastard, why are you messing with me every day?"
The name Yunqi was mentioned by Qian Bureau, and Bai Bureau cared about it, and now it has become a part of the Kingdom of Jin.
Why give up the good modern life, leave Jiangyin, and refuse to turn back when you can choose to come back?
Liu Zi himself is sensitive and cautious in his work, and dare not make any mistakes.
This woman has been involved in too many things, he must find out.
Bai Lu sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt consciously.
——Although the only thing that will affect the traffic on the road now is the cows and horses that can't pull the reins.
"I said," he looked at Liu Xun's skillful shifting, and his tone was a bit hesitant: "Is this girl a suspect now?"
"Ah?" Liu Xun slightly looked at him in surprise, "What crime did she commit?"
Bailu rubbed his chin and said, "I'm not sure, I'll tell you later?"
"The situation is that she went to the Kingdom of Jin, and she seems to be involved in the diplomatic affairs of the two countries - her motives are unknown, and her ability is unknown." Liu Xi drove to Jiangyin City, explaining: "Because I have to go to see Tesla later. We went directly to Jiangyin’s police station for the detonation test.”
"Ok."
Liu Xun was slightly surprised by Bailu's cooperation.
In Zhao Qingyu's mouth, Bailu and Yunqi are like Romeo and Juliet, and Yunqi is the white moonlight cinnabar mole in Director Bai's heart.
But when Bai Lu mentioned this girl in front of Liu Xi, he acted calmly and calmly like an outsider.
"the reason is simple."
On the way back, Bailu held a milk tea and said slowly: "I have never dated her before. We only met a few times in college, and we didn't even strike up a conversation."
Liu Xi paid attention to the road conditions, and asked doubtfully, "Such a beautiful girl, it's fine if you didn't dare to fall in love when you were young—you still can't bear to chase after college?"
Bailu looked out the window at the mountains, forests and grasslands exuding a primitive atmosphere, and said without changing his face: "It was once rumored that she was a woman who was taken care of by high-ranking officials."
"Huh?" Liu Xi didn't expect things to gossip to such an extent, and suddenly understood Bai Lu's estranged attitude from a man's point of view: "Is there any real hammer?"
"There was a regular limousine to drive her to and from school, and no matter how absent she was from school, all the teachers defaulted to covering her up."
Seeing the vehicle enter the gate, Bailu cooperatively showed the QR code on the watch, and asked the security personnel to check all directions.
They quickly entered the Jiangyin City Police Station and stopped in the shade of a tree.
It was already late autumn, and the leaves were neatly piled up next to the roots, like a pool of ashes.
"Before I was in college, I'm afraid I hadn't seen her for six or seven years," Bailu thought when he opened the door, "When I saw her again, I recognized her only because she still called her by that name."
Liu Xi patted him on the shoulder gently, and comforted him: "It's all over."
"I'm afraid there is no past." Bai Lu looked at him and said, "Didn't you say that she went to the Kingdom of Jin?"
"I always feel that this matter has an inseparable relationship with her in the past 15 years."
Liu Zi collected his mind and said, "Let's check her household registration information and criminal records."
Just like the government's internal information network, the police station's database also has a corresponding backup, and the identity information of each citizen can be checked.
As soon as Liu Xun appeared in the police station, everyone was surprised and awed. They must have heard about all the things he did.
The living standards of Jiangyin people are constantly recovering—although they can't live better than before, thanks to the hard-working head of state.
The current chief of police is Qian Fan's former subordinate. When he saw Liu Xun, he couldn't help bowing and gave up his office so that they could chat and check information more conveniently.
Liu Xi searched, and soon found Yunqi's identity and employment records in Jiangyin.
——Exactly the same as Qian Fan's caliber, director and executive of the pharmaceutical industry, but invested with personal capital.
Why did she have money to invest in the company at such a young age?
Could it be that his family background is at the same level as Li Luan's?
Bailu signaled him to copy her ID code to check relevant information across the country.
"Her household registration... there is a problem."
Liu Xi frowned and flipped through her family information, then turned to look at Bai Lu and said, "Why do you two have the same home addresses?"
Room 331, Building C6, Zi'an Community, No. 201 Duzhong Road, Jingwei District, Shidu.
The last time when the deputy head of state took office, Liu Xun, as the head of state, had to sign documents and read Bailu's political review materials.
So he has an impression of this place, and now he can directly connect the two.
"It's not exactly the same," Bailu pointed to the gate number behind the complex, and explained, "It used to be a neighbor relationship."
"Here, look," Liu Xi continued to observe every detail: "Her family's household registration and family information have been cancelled—both parents have had their identities canceled because of their deaths, and I also have traces of my identities cancelled."
In other words, judging from the historical records of the system, Yunqi's family was wiped out for some reason, so her household registration and identity information were cancelled, but for some reason, she herself reactivated her identity information, Continue to live as Yunqi.
"Logged out—logged out?!" The expression on Bai Lu's face was blank: "Has Uncle Yun passed away?"
"The logout time is August 2018, 8." Liu Xi zoomed in on the page, allowing him to see clearly the fine print on that line of remarks: "Cause of death: car accident."
"The same is true for his wife, Ms. Mu, who died in a car accident as well."
"Impossible—" Bailu finally realized what was happening, and put together the things in his memory: "2018, that is, 12 years ago—"
"It was 13 years ago." Liu Xi reminded: "The space-time mutation has been close to a year."
"13 years ago?" Bai Lu felt breathless when he saw the five words 'identity has been cancelled'.
How could the kind and gentle couple in memory be dead? !
Yunqi 13 years ago was only 15 years old.
Yes, it was around that time period that my parents began to strictly prohibit mentioning this surname and her first name.
what happened? !
"Calm down first," Liu Xi tapped the cold table with his knuckles, signaling Bailu to refocus his eyes.
"Yun Qi's identity was canceled at the same time as her parents, which means that she has been recorded as dead."
It turned out that both her parents were dead.
No wonder what happened afterwards...
No wonder I'm witnessing...
When Bai Lu spoke again, his voice was a little choked up: "I really didn't expect that they died 13 years ago."
"However, judging from the records of the Shidu Jingwei District Police Station, the reason for the activation of Yunqi's identity is 'I did not die', and it seems that he survived the car accident." Liu Ziman speculated without a clue: "Whether the car accident is real or not is another matter, but it's impossible for another person to pretend to be her. It would be great if I could go to Zi'an Community..."
"You can't go."
"I know, it's all changed in time and space—"
"No, I mean," Bai Lu took a deep breath, "Zian Community itself doesn't exist."
"What?" Liu Zi was stunned for a moment, before asking, "Secret address?"
"Well," the young man whispered: "I can't find the place to live at all. Although it is in the suburbs of Shidu, I can't locate it at all. I was not sensible when I was young."
"Both of you are children of the secrecy unit?" Liu Xi felt that this matter was getting further and further away, but he still tried to ask clearly: "What field?"
"I don't know. Children are not allowed to ask about this kind of thing, and they can't know anything." Bai Lu rubbed his face and said, "It probably has something to do with physics. I eavesdropped on my dad's phone call."
Liu Xi sighed and tried to bring things back: "Death reactivated the identity, and then I didn't know where to stay for a few years. I was admitted to Shidu University. After graduation, I failed the moral test three times in the Senate and Political Council, and entered Jiangyin. The city serves as a director of a pharmaceutical company—wait a minute, did you come to Jiangyin because of her?!"
"Yes." Bailu replied straightforwardly: "I am her junior, and I am two years younger than her."
"No, you haven't dated her yet, why are you chasing her here?" Liu Xi said in disbelief, "She may not remember you, your unrequited love has been too long."
Bailu was silent for a while, then turned around and turned around the chair.
He turned his back to Liu Xi, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
"Yun Qi has not changed people, no one can impersonate her identity."
"When I saw her again at school, she was like, like..."
It's like completely rotten.
With the development and growth, her facial features became more three-dimensional and exquisite, and her figure became taller and more outstanding.
Even photos without makeup can be rated as the current school belle.
But Bailu had seen her expression when she was alone.
The eyes are empty and soulless.
Like a gorgeous skeleton.
Yun Qi completed all the credits in the second semester of her sophomore year—she even spent the winter and summer vacations studying textbooks by herself and waiting to take the exam.
Then there is the combination of master and doctor, and the speed of completing studies is much faster than others.
It's as if being pushed by something, constantly trying to catch up with something.
She is no longer that innocent and gentle little girl, nor is she the girl who can tilt her head and play the violin.
Bai Lu looked at Yun Qi who was sitting alone in the classroom from a distance that day, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and he didn't dare to ask
"Since you care, you shouldn't leave her there alone."
Hearing this, Liu Zi frowned and said, "Li Luan also showed such an expression before."
Bailu was stunned and asked: "You and her—"
"I'm crooked, so I don't need to think too much about it." Liu Xi casually deleted the search history, and said with a sip of water, "I stayed with her for a long time before letting her come back to life little by little."
"I'm afraid you are living in self-blame and interrogation now."
Bai Lu didn't ask much about Minister Li, turned his back to him in silence, and said after a while: "Later, when I was a junior, my parents and I went to a reception of high-level government officials."
"She was held in the arms of a high-ranking official, and she dressed up and smiled like a noble lady living in luxury."
"I saw her again later, at another banquet. This time, she was in another person's arms."
"Liu Xi," Bai Lu turned around, his eyes slightly red, "I'm obsessed with ghosts, that's why I chased all the way here."
"There is no longer any possibility."
Liu Xi thought about it for a long time, and decided to smoke a cigarette with him.
He took out the white bird that he had been reluctant to touch, and took him outside the office.
He originally wanted to investigate this woman's motives and background, but the things involved have exceeded his expectations.
Bailu doesn't know how to smoke, but he picked up the white bird and took a big drag.
Then he was choked and coughed, and he couldn't breathe for a while.
Liu Xi looked at this gentle and gentle man, and only lowered his head to help him pat his back.
Why are these girls living so hard.
And it seems that no one can help them solve the things they have experienced, and they can only resist it by themselves.
It is not easy for Li Luan to live as he is today.
The girl named Yunqi, whose parents died at the age of 15, the cause of death was obviously covered up, and it is not known whether she witnessed the process.
If there is, and it is tragic...
I'm afraid she will be tormented by nightmares that she cannot escape, just like Li Luan.
Bai Lu coughed up tears, forced to finish smoking the cigarette with red eyes, and extinguished the cigarette butt like Liu Xi.
Liu Xi looked at him without speaking for a long time, and looked down at the messages on the phone.
"Long Mu asked me when I would go to watch the experiment—do you want to come?"
He turned sideways slightly, and his tone of speech slowed down a lot: "Those things in the past are hard to change, do you want to look at something else to divert your attention?"
Bai Lu nodded, straightened the corners of his collar and clothes, and when he walked out of the police station, he had returned to his identity as Deputy Head of State Bai, suppressing all those memories.
Zhao Qingyu lay beside Long Mu, looked at the vast field in the distance, yawned lazily and said, "Why haven't Uncle Liu and the others come yet?"
Qian Fan next to him was snoring like thunder, sleeping very soundly.
Li Luan originally didn't want to watch this kind of ear-exploding scene, but it was related to her design direction of the outer city wall, so she had to attend this time.
After a cup of coffee was finished, Liu Xi and Bai Lu drove to find this place.
To the south of Jiangyin City is a vast wasteland surrounded by mountains in the distance.
This has been opened up as a new experimental area, and new venues will be found one after another in the future.
——For example, Haizhou and Chuzhou whose ownership rights were sold.
"Uncle Liu, are you ready?" Zhao Qingyu shook the controller in her hand and smiled playfully: "Do you want to have a small scene first?"
Sitting next to the computer, Wu Gong rubbed his hands nervously: "Is there really no problem with the transformer?"
"No problem, rest assured."
Liu Xi took the coffee from Li Luan, glanced at Qian Fan who was still soundly asleep, waved his hand and said, "Let's get started."
Zhao Qingyu raised the controller with a smile, and pressed the button under everyone's gaze.
At that moment, the entire row of isolation belts in the distance exploded with lightning, and the roaring thunderstorm sounded like the sky bursting!
Qian Fan jumped up from the recliner with a howl.
