Bulwark of Light

Chapter 269 Farewell Huan (End)

“My time… is running out.”

Zhao Xilai turned the wheelchair hard, faced Lu Nanzhi, and said After pondering for a long time, this mountaineering, interview, and meeting are actually all to be able to say this remark face-to-face: “I will give you the flower flag, everything that Lu Cheng left, including my share. …all of it, all to you.”

This is news that is enough to shake the entire city.

This is also an unexpected move by Lu Nanzhi.

As Zhao Xilai said…he actually has no choice. Bright City and Lin Family, as well as external oppression, can’t tolerate Zhao’s hesitation any more. He must attack with all his strength and win in this bill fight. victory.

“Even if I oppose the bill?”

Lu Nanzhi frowned slightly and said, “I don’t understand…”

“Don’t say it’s you , I don’t understand either.”

Zhao Xilai laughed softly, “If I still have time, even if it’s only a year, I’m afraid I won’t make such a choice… People are greedy and not content. Only when your time is really coming to an end will you realize that everything is coming to an end.”

“The one who gave up the bill competition was not you, nor Hua Qi, but ‘Zhao Shi’. ‘.”

The old man calmly said: “I have sent emails to Bright City and Lin Family respectively, expressing my attitude… After the invasion of the Apostles of the Tower of Source, there may be many changes in the bill. , the attitude of the Eastern Continent Council may change. Due to the time factor, I cannot sit on this ship, continue to steer, and welcome the arrival of the New World… I have more than my heart, but I am not strong enough, which is probably the biggest regret in my life. “

“So…”

“As you can imagine, your road will be very difficult in the future.” The old man said Faintly: “The attitude of Bright City and Lin Family will be because of my Exit and change, the help of Huaqi in the outer continents may disappear… but they can’t blame anything, because I have tried my best, but at the last stage of my life, I can’t give Huaqi to…”

Speaking of which.

He paused slightly and looked down the mountain, “Leave it to that idiot…”

“So…congratulations, Nanzhi, you won.”

This is a war without gunpowder.

It was also a war with no casualties.

The gentle congratulations were actually the heartfelt blessings of an aging lion… Of course Lu Nanzhi knew that even if Zhao Xilai had only one day or an hour left, he would still be able to pass the existing The flower flag system, towards itself and the entire South Bay, issued a deadly counterattack, causing huge trouble to itself.

There was no gun smoke and no casualties, because the war never broke out.

Everything was extinguished in the congratulations.

“…”

The lady put her arms around her forearm, not knowing what to say.

She looked at the old man in front of her, her mood was extremely complicated… Maybe at some point, she once regarded this old man as a teacher. It was all because of the cultivation of the flower flag in the past ten years that she could grow up. But in more moments, I regard it as an enemy, reminding myself all the time that everything I do is for the sake of accumulating strength and for this war that will break out sooner or later.

But now.

She thought again in a trance.

Perhaps in this long period of ten years…she also regarded this old man as a guide, a pioneer, and a reliable person.

Everything is as expected.

When I stuck to my ideals, stuck to my beliefs, and chose to stand on the opposite side of the Awakening Act… war broke out.

But what happened next was the exact opposite of what I expected.

No sacrifice, no conflict.

The old man seemed to be waiting for him to stand up…and then took off the crown and presented it to himself.

Is this a coincidence?

Or was it already calculated by him?

“Old Lu said, it’s hard to say goodbye when we meet.”

Zhao Xilai laughed softly, “Looking back at the time, I was very happy to meet him, that was something I couldn’t do in my life. An unforgettable scene, because I really believed that Lu Cheng and I could work together to create a brighter world… Only after the dream was broken, I realized that ideals and reality are different.”

“ Because of the Federation, I stood on the opposite side of him.”

“Because of differences, he fell in Lions Lane.”

“Because of various… I am here again, and everyone cannot escape the fate of death, of course I am no exception, but fortunately, outside this mountain, a banner with flowers is flying.”

Zhao Xilai asked with a soft smile, “Since we meet each other happily, why do we part with sorrow?”

Lu Nanzhi recited it silently in her heart.

These words, not so much, are for myself.

It’s better to say…for Lu Cheng.

The simple wooden tablet swayed gently in the wind.

“Finally…I have a request.”

The old man looked up.

He said sincerely: “I will leave everything to you, you will become the master of the flower flag, the parliamentarian of Dadu…I just hope you will let that idiot go.”

Lu Nanzhi stood silently in the wind.

She brought the beaded camera and video evidence of the auditorium with her.

This is hard evidence.

It is also the key to her confidence in winning the game against Huaqi.

But…she never showed or even told the old man about it.

“He planned the spiritual exile in the Freedom Auditorium… He has confessed to me.”

took a deep breath.

Zhao Xilai raised his head, looked at Lu Nanzhi, and said with a smile: “Sometimes I really envy Lao Lu for giving birth to such an excellent daughter as you. Everything is more responsible for being a father.”

“I’m sorry for him…”

In this brief moment, the old man in the wheelchair is no longer a parliamentarian of Dadu, but a father.

His face was no longer glowing with red light, but gradually became dry and wrinkled, with dim guilt flashing in his eyes, “I…not a good father… …”

“What do you want me to do with him?”

Madam tucked into the lining of her coat, silently grasping the hand of the evidence, and released it again, she lowered her eyes and pondered. After a while, he asked in a low voice.

“As long as I don’t kill him… it’s fine…”

The old man’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, “I will arrange for him to go to Beizhou… If he can die in the fortress, then It’s the best thing. The premise is that you are willing to give him a chance to leave Dadu.”

Lu Nanzhi hesitated.

Everything tonight was not what I expected.

She even made preparations for either the fish dies or the net splits, and the two sides would fight fiercely… She thought she would be broken and bloody, and she also planned to never take a step back.

But fate is like that.

I don’t know when the wind rises, and I don’t know where to go when the wind disperses.

The hatred, resentment, entanglement… all dissipated with the evening wind of the small barren mountain.

“…Okay.”

After a long time, she nodded and agreed.

“There is one more thing…”

The old man suddenly thought of something, spoke very hard, pointed to the barren mountain, forced a smile, and asked cautiously: “After I die… can I be buried here?”

The tip of Madam’s nose was a little sour.

She sighed softly, and said astringently: “…Of course.”

“Ha…”

Hearing this answer, she sat down The old man in the wheelchair showed a childlike smile.

“I want to be with… Lao Lu, stay for a while…”

He folded his shoulders, shrank into a ball, and mumbled softly, “It’s dark… It’s cold…”

Lu Nanzhi silently carried the lantern and placed it beside the old man. The warm flame from the lantern enveloped the humble tombstone and the lonely wheelchair. She took off her coat, Draped beside the old man, turned and left.

There was a very soft laughter behind him.

As the dead leaves swept in, there was a rustling sound.

Zhao Xilai has not laughed like this for many years.

The last time, many years ago, those two high-spirited and vigorous men in the Metropolitan area met.

And now, all the strength in his body has dissipated, and the voice squeezed out of his throat is also fuzzy.

These sounds drifted away with the wind.

“Thank you…”

“I am very happy…”
