The last of the opening ceremonies was the air show, which was naturally flown by the Chinese performance team.

As the humming engines came from far and near, two red planes hovered over Brussels, dragging the Chinese dragon flag and the Belgian tricolor flag respectively. I saw that they sometimes flew up and down, sometimes chased back and forth, sometimes jumped somersaults, sometimes stuck to the turf ultra-low altitude through the field, sometimes moved around each other's coaxial spiral, and sometimes flew head-on—until the last moment, they staggered by......

The audience below stretched their necks and looked up, sometimes holding their breath, sometimes screaming, sometimes applauding, some opening their mouths in a daze, some praying silently to God, and some hiding their eyes and not being able to bear to look - it was as if the spirit and feelings of tens of thousands of people had been sucked by these two planes.

"Your Highness, I think these two pilots must be the bravest men in your country, if you don't mind, I really want to invite them to tonight's banquet." King Albert said excitedly to Liu Ping, his eyes had not yet left the telescope in his hand.

"That's their honour, and it's an honour for our country, and if you want to, you can see them as soon as the show is over."

Liu Ping responded politely, and then called Adjutant Wu Haisong: "I need to know the situation of the two pilots in the sky." ”

"Your Highness, they are brother and sister, the elder brother is called Qi Peng, and the younger sister is called Qi Bing, who was ...... with His Royal Highness and Princess Yuelan in the Youth Aviation Summer Camp six years ago."

"It turned out to be them...... Come to think of it, please come over after the show. Liu Ping is no stranger to the two names mentioned by Wu Haisong.

A quarter of an hour later, the two pilots were brought before the Belgian King and his wife and His Royal Highness Prince Vuhe.

The king was taken aback: "Girl? Can a girl fly a plane too? ”

The interpreter passed the words to the siblings, who only smiled and nodded slightly to the king.

"A girl can still be an emperor." Liu Ping said.

The king spread his hands and said that he could understand.

Liu Ping got up and walked in front of the brother and sister, turned to the king, and said solemnly: "Please allow me to introduce to Your Majesty, these two are friends of me and my sister, and they are also campmates of our flight summer camp, brother Qi Peng and sister Qi Bing. ”

The younger sister Qi Bing, who took off the flight cap, has eye-catching short ear-length hair and a pair of clear and bright big eyes, which looks a little shy; Brother Qi Peng has the same beautiful eyes and stiff short hair, which is much more generous and natural than his sister.

The king nodded and said, "It turns out that you are a friend of Your Highness, so it is even more okay to attend the banquet together, it is a pleasure to meet the two of you, you are real warriors." ”

Liu Ping was about to say something more, but found a pair of familiar faces in the crowd of onlookers.

That's right, it's not an illusion!

For a long time, the people who he and his sister would often worry about are now quietly in the audience, looking at this place faintly.

Liu Ping wanted to rush over.

The astute Wu Haisong immediately came over: "Your Highness, what do you have to order?" ”

Liu Ping was surprised by Wu Haisong's sensitivity, but he was glad that someone could notice it, so he asked Wu Haisong to come over and give a few words.

An hour later, in the hotel room where Liu Ping stayed, on the mahogany coffee table covered with cumbersome rococo patterns, there were good black tea and coffee, and the Qi brothers and sisters sat opposite Liu Ping.

"You haven't communicated for two years, where have you all been in that meantime?" Liu Ping mixed the black tea with a small silver spoon, and his tone was slightly reproachful.

The brother and sister looked at each other for a while, and the elder brother opened his mouth after the most reluctance: "Because I studied aviation, out of hobby and livelihood, I participated in this flying circus together two years ago. In the past two years, I have been performing in the whole world, and I don't have a fixed address, and I think that the other party can't reply at all, and the chance of seeing each other again in the future is also very slim, so I ......"

"Then why don't you join the army? In recent years, the army and navy have vigorously expanded their air force, and they are in great need of flying talents. ”

Qi Peng's face was sad: "Two years ago, my parents passed away one after another, leaving only our brother and sister to rely on each other, if I go to join the army, there will be no one to take care of my sister, my sister is wild and confused, no one can look at it......"

Qi Bing stared at Qi Peng complainingly: "Brother...... What are you talking about, am I that kind of person, and I still say this in front of His Highness, it's really ......"

Liu Ping waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, Qi Bing doesn't need to worry, Yuchun often hurts me like this, and it is also called 'brother and sister affection', it seems that there is still some reason......"

"Yuchun...... Is the princess okay? Qi Peng asked seemingly casually.

"Just like Qi Bing, big girl."

Qi Bing's face suddenly flushed slightly, his hand between his knees, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

"Go back, no matter what, feel more comfortable in your own country." Liu Ping didn't notice anything, "Write to me when you go back, Yuchun is also worried about you." ”

Regarding this meeting, Air Marshal Qi Peng's memoirs recorded as follows: "On that day, His Highness described to us with great pride the great achievements and glorious prospects of the construction of the Imperial Air Force, and encouraged me to dedicate my valuable ......skills to the Empire with great righteousness."

After sending Qi Peng and Qi Bing away, Liu Ping summoned Wu Haisong: "How are things?" ”

"Your Highness, we have found out the hotel where they are staying, but the two seem to be reluctant to meet with Your Highness."

"Prepare the car and go to their hotel." Liu Ping commanded without hesitation.

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, they are the children of Madame Zhu, who was involved in the attempted murder, and although the emperor did not blame them, he had explicitly forbidden them to enter Beijing, and had also instructed His Royal Highness and the princess not to meet them again. Now His Royal Highness acts without authorization, once the emperor blames it......"

Wu Haisong has long been disgusted with the lines of the costume film that he spit out of his mouth, in fact, no matter how the lines are changed, the essence of serving the power is the same, and Wu Haisong already had enough consciousness before deciding to stay.

"If my father blames me, I will bear it myself."

Ignorant young people talk nonsense and don't care about the difficulties of others, what can your father do with you? Isn't it the last thing to do with the people below?

Wu Haisong lamented Liu Ping's immaturity, but he was helpless, he couldn't pull out a gun and put his head against him and didn't let him go - when the time comes, this kid will go back to his father and sue casually, and my working boy will be miserable.

The sorrow of the working man...... Leader, when will we be able to promote shareholders as two mothers!

Wu Haisong, who had nowhere to vomit bitter water, still had to say respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll arrange it, but it can't be too long." Please understand that my authority is also very limited. ”

"Please." Liu Ping has no habit of being grateful to others.

Taking advantage of the time before the start of the dinner in the Belgian Palace, Wu Haisong personally drove a light carriage to send Liu Ping, who was disguised as a student, to the small hotel.

"Rooms 207 and 208, you have twenty minutes." Wu Haisong said.

Liu Ping nodded and strode into the hotel.

Ran to the second floor, first knocked on the door of room 207, and no one inside answered.

But there was a small crack in room 208 opposite: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Gale! Sure enough, you're here! ”

"Your Highness...... What are you doing here! The person who opened the door was a little hesitant.

"Aren't you going to let me in?" Liu Ping had already held the door with one hand.

Zhu Liefeng shook his head with a wry smile, pulled the door open, turned back to the house and shouted, "Xin'er, look who's coming." ”

Gale wore polite glasses, compared to five years ago, there was too much intellectuality added to the quiet, Liu Ping didn't have much interest in this, he was looking forward to Zhu Xin's appearance.

Liu Ping...... His Royal Highness ...... "As soon as she saw someone, Zhu Xin, who ran to the door with a white dress, was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The green shoots have long bloomed into dazzling flowers, but the childhood sweethearts only represent the past, time may not be able to eliminate the memory, but it is enough to corrode the immature feelings.

Liu Ping, who had too much to say, suddenly couldn't say anything, just stood there like a log, and on the other hand, Zhu Xin also seemed to be petrified into an ancient Greek god statue, and time froze in the world where they were connected to each other, absolute zero.

"Come in and sit, Xin'er, go make tea." Gale pushed the wall of ice that had nothing to do with him in a word.

Black tea, sugar cubes, and moisture swirled above the teacup, Liu Ping didn't move the teacup, he didn't have much time.

"How are you doing all these years?" Although it is nonsense, I can't find any words and phrases that are easier to export.

Zhu Xin nodded silently, but her eyes were as gentle as water, Liu Ping saw it in her eyes, and it hurt in her heart.

"Very good, I have been studying at the University of Zurich in Switzerland since last year, and Xin'er is going to study at the University of Basar in Switzerland this year, and I said that I would meet in Belgium, and I happened to watch the World Exposition together, but I didn't expect to meet you, and I bothered you to take the risk to come to us, I'm really embarrassed."

Gale said sarcastically, Liu Ping couldn't not hear it, but he could understand it.

Since the attempted bombing, Gale and Zhu Xin have been driven out of the capital with their mother, and they are strictly ordered not to enter the capital, and even their father's grave is not allowed to be cleaned, so there is no way to breed resentment and even hatred.

"University of Zurich? What faculty? Liu Ping tried to change the subject.

"The Department of Natural Sciences, majoring in theoretical physics, has a quirky and genius tutor named Albert Einstein, have you heard of it?"

"Theoretical physics? My brother likes to do this the most, and he must have something in common with him all day long, fiddling with what this son is, what that son is, how this son hits that child and that kind of thing. ”

Liu Ping actually hoped to talk to Zhu Xin alone for a while, but he couldn't say it, the obstacles in front of him were no less than the Himalayas, and he didn't have enough strength to climb over.

"I'm going to go to the humanities, and I'm not sure what I'm going to focus on." Zhu Xin blinked and said, Liu Ping really wanted to stare at her all the time, there was not much time, he wanted to imprint the image of this blooming flower deeply in his mind, but he couldn't do it, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was supposed to be reserved, couldn't do it.

Suddenly there was a quick knock on the door, Liu Ping took out his pocket watch and saw that there should be fifteen minutes left.

Zhu Liefeng went to open the door, and Wu Haisong's mechanical face poked in.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, something urgent has happened, you must go back to the hotel immediately."

"What's so urgent! Can't you wait another fifteen minutes? Liu Ping said impatiently.

Wu Haisong stepped forward in two steps and whispered in Liu Ping's ear: "Domestic call, the emperor is seriously ill, please return quickly." ”
