The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 12: War, war (in)


"Aqiwei, please go out." Seeing the man push the door into the house, Gu Tie said lightly,

"What did you say." Rainforest Flower raised an eyebrow, looked at him with cold gray-blue eyes, and said,

"...My dear, please go out for a while, just a little bit, I won't run away..." The Chinese immediately turned his head and muttered with a pitiful expression on his face, and Azwei snorted Turn around and walk out the door, leaving a sentence: "Two minutes, I'll be back in two minutes. See you when Rasisi's mobilization speech begins."

The door is closed,

"Boom." A high-explosive grenade exploded somewhere, the door frame creaked and groaned, the only light bulb in the room flashed twice, and finally stopped working completely. The basement room fell into darkness and the air There is a damp, slippery fungus smell that is accustomed to long-used underground shelters. Gu Tie was trying to find a light source. At this moment, there was a soft "pop", a small flame lit up in the dark, and the flames flickered. , Illuminates an expressionless oriental face,

The flame came from a lit lighter. The name and phone number of "Beijing Sister Liu Spicy Fish Head Office" were written on the transparent plastic body. Butane gas came out of the simple nozzle of the lighter, and the flame seemed quite unstable. Anyone who has used this kind of lighter knows that it will become very hot when it is lit for a long time, and there is even a danger of explosion. This is a disposable lighter that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Chinese cities and villages. The cost is not More than 3 cents,

The face of a man is illuminated. The face is quiet and serious. Under the meticulous hairstyle is a high forehead with a few crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, which makes the eyes hidden behind tortoiseshell glasses appear. It is more wise and unpredictable, and the decrees on both sides of the mouth show that this is a person who has gone through hardships and is now accustomed to giving orders. The black tunic suit, blue sweetheart collar cardigan, white shirt and Shanghai brand watch show that this is a very traditional Chinese men,,, in fact this kind of tradition only belongs to a certain class, the power field that is deeply nostalgic for the old Chinese character,

"...Old Xiao." Gu Tie stretched out his hands, let out a sigh, and said,

"Gu Tie." Xiao Li uttered two words flatly, then stopped talking, pushed his glasses with his left hand, and stood there silently looking at the old friend opposite,

Gu Tietian is not afraid of being afraid, most afraid that Old Xiao will not speak. He was stared at him terribly by Secretary Xiao’s eyes, and he could not help but move his hips subconsciously, trying to sit on the bed more comfortably: "When did you come, it’s Matt. Lille informed you of my news. It doesn’t seem appropriate for government officials like you to come to this hotly contested place. How did the Exit-Entry Administration issue you a visa for work?... What I am most interested in is , How did you bring that disposable lighter onto the plane? Even if the security check is a walk-through form, it shouldn’t be so arrogant."

"When I arrived in Bangui two hours ago, I once said that China is now in a strange antagonism. Since the explosion of the Genesis East Asia core route, the anti-gtc forces in the central government have gradually grown stronger, and the quantum network Gradually squeezing out national affairs, the voices of the Standing Committee members are not consistent, but it is inevitable for China to follow the old road of Russia and become a conservative country that uses quantum networks to maintain an ipu position. My identity is the United Nations. Special observer of, although my position is relatively far away from the war, but fortunately it is a bit of panacea. As long as I want to fight for it, I can still get some privileges. As for the disposable lighter, I will put it after dinner at the Liu Sister’s restaurant the day before yesterday. It was forgotten in the pocket of the jacket and was taken on the plane last night. People from the Ministry of National Security knew that I would not hijack the plane with a lighter." Xiao Liping replied calmly,

"Da." The room plunged into darkness again, and Old Xiao relaxed his buttons because of his hot hands.

Darkness made Gu Tie feel a little more relaxed. For some reason he felt that the person opposite seemed a little strange. Although Xiao Liping usually looks like an overly calm facial paralysis, he seems particularly indifferent today, as if between the two of them. What's the gap, he broke the deadlock with a forced laugh: "Hehehe, knowing that I am in Central Africa must have shocked you. I was defeated by a swordfish and was in a coma for so long...Swordfish, Sister Liu Hotel Is there any swordfish for sale? When I return to Beijing, I will definitely go to eat a meal, add spicy and spicy, and take revenge."

"Fuck." The fire light lit up again, Xiao Liping appeared on the chair opposite the bed, changed his left hand to hold the lighter, and seemed to look up the hole in the ceiling with interest, "Gu Tie." He cried nonchalantly. With a sound, Gu Tie shivered severely,

"...what's the matter." The Chinese asked weakly,

"Are you hiding something from me." Xiao Liping said,

"The two of us have been in friendship for more than ten years. Except for Lao Zhao, I have been with you for the longest time in the whole world. I have kept you from hiding anything." Gu Tie immediately pleaded." When I was drinking, fighting and picking up girls, I didn’t tell you all the shameful things I had done in the past, even if I didn’t use the courtyard toilet when I was a child and accidentally fell into the cesspit..."

"Gu Tie." Old Xiao yelled again. The children knew that when fathers and mothers called themselves nicknames, cats and dogs, no matter how fierce the tone was, it would be thunder and rain; and once the elders called out their full names , That may prove to be a big trouble. A meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots may not be able to escape. Gu Tie is now as stiff as a child caught with aching feet, and he dared not breathe, he cautiously replied:" Hey, "

Xiao Liping asked: "Gu Tie, who are you on earth?"

The two people looked at each other with the light of the lighter, and the sound of guns above their heads rumbling, like a piece of untimely background music, Gu Tie’s heart quickly turned for thousands of years, using all the psychology, authentication, and torture he had mastered in his life. Learning and medical knowledge, observing the other party, guessing what the opposite man thinks, he is confused, not knowing how to answer the brother’s question, whether to tell the truth or pretend to be ignorant. How to make sure that this man in the deepest city is in the same camp with him, but this is his most trusted brother for more than ten years, if even Lao Xiao can't face it honestly, who else in the world can trust from now on? ,

Gu Tie squeezed the edge of the bed and rattled his forehead. At this moment, he suddenly lost all doubts and speculations and decided to tell the truth, "Old Xiao, I..."

"Listen." Xiao Liping suddenly turned off the lighter, and quickly said in a language that only two people could understand: "I know a lot, and there are still a lot I don't know. In fact, we both got a lot of things wrong for many years. I have been going around in circles for a long time. It’s not safe here. This conversation must be monitored. The shielding device on my body cannot be 100% effective. However, the sound fragments of this dialect after the shielding device is shattered will make them unable to perform semantics in a short time. Analysis, after all, it is not an official language recorded, no nonsense, let me say, listen, the calculation of the betrayer has made the latest progress, the countdown date has been finalized: April 7, 2052, that is to say, everything will After two and a half months, you must have known your identity. I believe you were also unaware when I was exploring your past. While I found clues, you also discovered your past. This is not a coincidence. It is inevitable. The next time the lighter is turned on, you will follow me out of the room. I will detonate a phantom to temporarily confuse the sensor. We will talk about it when we get to a safe place. Now you will laugh and pretend that I said it. An old joke that only you can understand."

He speaks an extremely unfamiliar dialect. Xiao Liping’s native place is in Wuzhong City, Ningxia Autonomous Region, China. His father is a Hui farmer in a remote village in Wuzhong District. He has never returned to his hometown. Out of nostalgia for his hometown, he taught his son to speak this strange dialect, which is a unique language formed by the Hui people in the village absorbing a large number of Arabic loanwords from Islamic classics. It has both the Ningxia dialect. There are many Arabic verbs and nouns pronounced in the Chinese dialect system. No one except the locals can understand them. Back then, in order to talk unscrupulously about the girls around him in the bar, Xiao Liping specially taught Gu Tie This dialect has become a little secret between the two over time. Gu Tie never expected that Lao Xiao would use this language to say a long story at this time, let alone the content of this passage is so amazing,

But he didn't hesitate, "Hahahahaha..." Gu Tie immediately burst into laughter with his thigh, wiping his tears while pointing at the tip of Old Xiao's nose: "This old joke is still used to tell, I thought you I really have something to tell me, who knows that it’s just for telling jokes for a long time, you are not tired, hahahahaha, I really convinced you, you can die if you don’t pretend to be."

Xiao Liping also laughed: "Haha, I know it can scare you. Your kid doesn't seem to have bedsores or anything, but he's still alive and kicking. Then I can rest assured....Oh, this broken lighter, really tmd hot..."

The flame was extinguished again. Gu Tie smiled and said contentless nonsense while waiting for the time to act. He did not consider whether Xiao Liping’s words were reasonable, but he was full of guilt towards Azwei. He didn’t. Suspect Azwei, on the contrary, Rainforest Flower is one of the few people he trusts with all his heart, but now he has no more choices. Years and years of experience tell him that Lao Xiao is a theoretical school who makes decisions and moves later, but once he makes a decision, he It can’t be wrong,

"Click."

Sister Liu’s spicy fish lighter turned on for the third time, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and the communication was completed without any more words. A dazzling light flashed in the room, Gu Tie felt Someone pulled his arm and rushed out. The last reaction he could make was to reach under the pillow and drew out the pistol that Azvi secretly left him.
