On the outskirts of Monitor City, there is an unnamed earth hill and a citizen’s cemetery.
This is a cemetery built on a slope. Looking around, there are many steles and grasses.
The eye-catching number "89" on the door indicates that this is one of the countless citizen cemeteries in the city. Because the tombs are for ordinary citizens, the maintenance costs are low, so weeding and renovation are only done twice a year.
Although it looks a bit desolate and miserable, at least the tombstones are complete, arranged in order, and guarded by tombkeepers. It is much better than the mass graves of refugees.
Among the numerous tombstones, a man in a trench coat stopped and stood.
It's late summer and early autumn now, and the wind on the mountain is a little cooler. The man stared at the tombstone in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes moving slowly over the inscription.
[The stupidest woman in the world - Su Xuefei sleeps here]
"You will be called stupid even if you die." The man sighed, with unspeakable sadness in his voice. He took a step forward and placed the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombstone.
The white and slender petals are noble and elegant, with a light blue color at the base of the stamens, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
If there are knowledgeable people here, they will definitely recognize that this is one of the most expensive flowers in the world, the artificially cultivated "Night Rain Orchid". One flower alone costs more than ten gold coins. There seem to be more than twenty flowers in this bouquet, and the price is definitely more than two hundred gold coins.
Night Rain Orchid is a new species born through the fusion of classical orchids and various mutant plant cells. Compared with ordinary orchids, it can stay fresh for a long time after cutting off the rhizomes. Since the cultivation process requires watering of psychic potions, the price is extremely expensive. If you are not a rich man with too much money to spend, you will not consider it at all.
The Night Rain Orchid, worth more than two hundred gold coins, looks very disharmonious when placed in front of the tombstone of a commoner who purchased the land for less than ten gold coins.
The man in the trench coat put his hands in his pockets, looked around at the weeds, and complained, "I won't find you a better place."
The voice was full of melancholy, loss, resentment, regret and a deep sense of powerlessness.
However, compared to other places in the cemetery, this place appears to be extremely clean. The tombstones are spotless, and the surrounding weeds are shorter than other places. It seems that people often come to visit.
The man stood quietly. After an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared in the cemetery.
Dressed in a general's military uniform, he looks handsome and upright, like green pines and green bamboos. His steps are firm and steady, fast but not hasty, which seems to confirm the old saying - stand like a pine, walk like the wind.
When the officer saw the man in the trench coat, he frowned slightly, but without making any sign, he went straight to the tombstone and handed over the flowers he had brought.
After staring at the tombstone and being silent for a long time, the officer said, "I didn't expect you would have the nerve to come here."
The man in the trench coat did not turn around, "I invited you here today, not just to make excuses."
"So, may I ask, Mr. Prime Minister, why did you invite me here today?" the officer asked. Although the words were polite, the tone was cold to the bone and full of hostility.
The man in the trench coat looked up at the sky, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Some things have already happened."
"We can't change the past, but a new day will come."
"So?" the officer interrupted, "Just tell me the result."
The man in the trench coat turned to look at the other person and said in a deep voice, "My hope is reconciliation."
"Reconciliation?" The officer turned his head, looked into the other person's eyes, and said with a smile, "You are the distinguished Prime Minister, oh, no, I should call you Prime Minister, no, that's not right, I should call you " He paused, "Two-faced God!"
This is a nickname given by foreign media recently, and it is extremely appropriate.
These two men are none other than Chen Xing and Ricardo. Chen Xing invited him over to resolve the old grudges between the two and fight against the enemy together.
Ricardo's face was full of disdain, "As the most powerful man on the Ambergris River, why should he reconcile with a small staff officer?"
"We share common goals and enemies," Chen Xing said. Lacey has been divided and the eldest prince is the sole heir. Politically, they have no conflict of interest.
"With your double-faced god's ability to climb a dragon and possess a phoenix, what kind of goal cannot be achieved, what kind of enemy cannot be defeated?"
Ricardo's words were spicy and sarcastic, showing no respect for superior leaders.
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and warned, "My patience and tolerance are limited."
"Can I leave now?" Ricardo asked.
"You are a soldier." Chen Xing looked at the other person and said seriously, "As long as the war does not end, the people will live in dire straits and will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment."
"There is an old saying in our hometown that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
Chen Xing tried to use his military responsibilities to awaken the other party, but Ricardo did not appreciate it and replied coldly, "I really admire your hypocrisy."
"A bastard who snatched other people's wives and forced them to death, how can he still be in the mood to care about the people?"
"Ricardo!" When it came to Su Xuefei, Chen Xing could no longer restrain his anger and shouted, "You forced her to death!"
He admitted that he had done the most bastard thing in the world and humiliated his former lover in public, but in his understanding, it was Ricardo's jealousy that finally drove Su Xuefei to death.
At this moment, Ricardo finally took off his disguise and shouted with a ferocious face, "It's you!"
"Perhaps I ignored your existence back then, and my arrogance stung your fragile self-esteem, but she is innocent!" Ricardo's eyes were red and he patted his chest hard, "If you want revenge, you can rush to Come on, bullying a woman is nothing!"
"She didn't offend anyone, not you, even more so." At this point, he couldn't continue, and his face was filled with sorrow and indignation.
This was the biggest pain in his heart. A woman followed him, but her heart was with another man. For this bastard, she spent all the money from selling herself and was cheated.
Maybe this woman is really stupid, but her kindness and love are the purest in the world.
"You must have done something to her, otherwise she wouldn't have died!" Chen Xing's eyes were red, and he almost roared, "Why did you provoke her? Since you provoked her, why didn't you protect her well? !”
"It's you who failed her!" Ricardo rushed forward with an emotional breakdown, grabbing the other person's collar with both hands, "Do you know how many things she did behind your back!"
"She is just an ordinary woman, but she gave everything she could!"
"So you were jealous of me!" Chen Xing said coldly, "So you forced her to death!"
"asshole!"
Ricardo was furious and punched Chen Xing in the face. The latter spurted blood and fell backwards several meters.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Chen Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fierce, "You are attacking the Prime Minister!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures stood up from the weeds and surrounded Ricardo's position.
The leader was a black young man. He showed his white teeth towards Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Hey, Lao Qin, you were beaten so badly!"
This black guy is Cassie. Chen Xing transferred 20 people from the original master group from Big Cat to go to Dragon City to serve as his prime minister's bodyguard.
Ricardo, who was furious, instantly realized that this was a trap set by Chen Xing and quickly regained his composure.
"Arrest him!" Chen Xing shouted.
The guards approached with eager eyes.
"With this small number of people, are you looking down on me?" Ricardo glanced at the surrounding guards with the corner of his eye, seeming to be looking for a breakthrough.
"I advise you to just surrender!" Chen Xing crossed his arms and glanced at Su Xuefei's tombstone, "If you don't want to disturb her sleep"
Ricardo's expression changed and he couldn't help shouting, "You are despicable!"
He realized that if there was a big fight here, Su Xuefei's cemetery would be damaged. I didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless, even including this.
In order to disturb his lover's sleep, Ricardo loosened his fist and surrendered.
Cassie and others swarmed up, twisted Ricardo's arm, and put on the Gleipnir shackles that glowed with purple light and could suppress the movement of psychic energy.
Before being pushed away by Cassie and others, Ricardo looked back at Chen Xing, shook his head and said, "I really feel worthless for her."
The crowd gradually moved away, and the cemetery returned to its usual silence.
Chen Xing stood in front of the tombstone, staring at the inscription, silent and lonely.
He watched silently until the sun set and the sky gradually darkened.
"In the first life, I didn't know you, and you didn't know me."
"In the second life, you failed me."
"In the third life, I failed you."
"If there is a fourth life, I will marry you."
After saying that, Chen Xing stepped forward and caressed the tombstone, just as he caressed her shoulder that day, beside the piano under the sunny window, on the campus in midsummer.
Then he made a farewell gesture and turned around to leave.
There are still many things waiting for him to do, and there is no time left for him to be sad.
News of Ricardo's arrest soon reached the eldest prince, Gavin Maris, who immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office and met with Chen Xing.
"Let me in!"
Outside the study, the tall Gavin Maris hurriedly pushed past the housekeeper Old K and rushed in.
When he saw Chen Xing, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates do not know the importance of the matter and have offended the Prime Minister. I am negligent in discipline and I am here to apologize!"
Before Chen Xing could speak, Gavin Maris made a series of requests, "Ricardo holds an important position in the army, and now the situation is tense. I beg you, for the sake of my loyalty and loyalty, to show mercy outside the law and order him to serve his crime and wait for the war." When it’s over, we’ll clear it all together.”
Chen Xing was not in a hurry at all. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for Gavin, placed it in front of him, then put his arm around Gavin's shoulders, walked around behind him, and said slowly, "The future Red Dragon Grand Duke."
"The future of the entire country belongs to you, do you still need to care about one or two people?" Chen Xing asked.
"But" Gavin looked embarrassed, "In addition to being my subordinate, he is also my best friend, the Prime Minister."
"If in your heart," Chen Xing interrupted, "you recognize me as Prime Minister, you should believe me." He stared into the other person's blue eyes, "Am I right, Your Highness?"
The inarticulate Gavin Maris was quickly dismissed.
Some time later, in the Thousand Candle Hall of the Red Castle, the man sat on the throne, and the girl sat on his lap, with an ambiguous posture and sultry movements.
"I heard that you've been playing with an eagle recently, aren't you afraid of getting your eyeballs pecked?" Aaliyah teased. She never liked people who were too smart and self-righteous, such as Ricardo, so she never used it.
"Maybe with your little brain, you can't play Eagle, but with my smart brain, there is no such problem at all."
Chen Xing's attitude was very arrogant, and Aaliyah pouted angrily, "You'd better not be too arrogant."
"I just want to be arrogant, what do you think?" Chen Xing deliberately pinched her waist, grinning with a fierce look.
"Humph" Aaliyah's fingertips crossed his face, "You'd better be more honest!"
"If you dare to be sorry to me." There was a strong threat in her eyes, "Maybe I can't do anything to you. Who wants you to be my man? But your brothers, subjects, oh, and that one Little female ant, don’t think that I don’t know anything, I know it in my belly.”
"Yes, yes, your princess is right!" Chen Xing hurriedly changed his words, echoed repeatedly, and laughed apologetically, "My princess has a keen mind and extraordinary wit. The elm head of my minister is incomparable."
Aaliyah raised her chin, wrinkled her nose, and snorted, "That's pretty much it."
Facing such an incredibly cute girl, Chen Xing felt chills running down his spine. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, it is indeed true.
