Chapter 107: Such an Era

He whispered, "I don't want to hear anything inside. I just want to hear you say, from the perspective of an ordinary bystander. What kind of person is she now? ”

Pang Feihong thought about it and put down the file in his hand. He frowned and whispered, "Speaking of her...... In fact, the impression is not particularly deep. However, everyone knows that our president is a female president, and she is still very young, so it will be clearer to remember. ”

"In fact, in the beginning, the life of Southern Luzon was not as good as the current Yuzhou. Because it was already in ruins in the past, the current Nandu was almost built on a piece of ruins. As soon as the barrier appeared, the Imperial Government didn't bother with the South Luzon side, so we went. Later, the central government was temporarily stable, but we also made a lot of things on our side...... How can I say it, it can be regarded as ......'There is a trend of separation'-" Pang Feihong glanced at Li Zhen. Seeing that he did not express any special opinion about the word he used, he continued, "So I let it be. Of course that's what I thought, and I think there's something else going on behind the scenes, like an exchange of interests or something—"

"Don't go off-topic." Li Zhen said softly.

It took Pang Feihong a while to understand what Li Zhen meant. He glanced at Li Zhen with some surprise and realized that ...... It seems that he will be wrong.

He really just wanted to know about the person himself.

So Pang Feihong smiled, and his tone became more relaxed: "Hmm." She's still single. ”

I don't know if Lu Dao is his own delusion, Pang Feihong feels that Li Zhen seems to breathe a sigh slightly.

"Do you have a sister?" Pang Feihong then said, "Your sister, your parents are there. It's supposed to be all at the president's residence by now - it's not as grand as it sounds. When I left Southern Luzon, it was a new two-story building, but after a few years, I should have rebuilt it. ”

"She doesn't show up much, it's more like the former emperor of the empire than the president, just a symbol. Because in the past, when she took us around, everyone knew that there was such a prophet, and she always felt that she was not afraid of any major things - the prime minister should be in charge of daily affairs. The prime minister's name is Teng Anhui, I don't know if you recognize it......"

"Oh, Teng Anhui." Li Zhen laughed. "I recognize it. Quite interesting people. ”

He smiled. The expression on his face was much more vivid. So he straightened forward and put his hands on the desk: "They think I'm dead?" ”

"That's what a lot of people say. But she-"

"She doesn't believe it, Ha Luha." Li Zhen laughed out loud this time. But he fell silent and closed his eyes again.

Pang Feihong didn't speak. Until a few minutes later. When he looked down again. I heard Li Zhen say softly: "I'm really sorry. ”

Pang Feihong was stunned. But I don't think it's like I'm saying it to myself. So he shook his head lightly and thought, "When are you going to go over and have a look?" ”

Li Zhen sighed: "I have to take care of the things here, I can't be in a hurry." ”

Pang Feihong smiled understandingly: "I know." Man. Hehe – you've got to have a little bit of your own business. It's like before the war, in my family, my daughter-in-law was in a provincial key high school, and the money I earned in one summer vacation was worth a year. I always thought back then...... Alas......"

Li Zhen raised his head and glanced at him with interest: "You think so?" ”

"Huh?" Pang Feihong was stunned for a moment, "What do you think?" ”

"You think...... I also want to learn from Xiao Heng and make a small kingdom of my own, but in a gentler way? Li Zhen smiled, "And then I also did what kind of president and prime minister in fact, and then I had the confidence to meet her?" ”

"Uh...... This ......" Pang Feihong pondered hesitantly for a while, feeling that the expression on Li Zhen's face was not quite right—it was completely like discovering something particularly funny.

So he put down the document in his hand and thought about it seriously: "Aren't you planning to do this? ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly: "No." ”

Pang Feihong was stunned for a long time, opened his mouth in surprise, and pointed outside—there were festive crowds and noisy shouts, like the square in a pre-war festival: "Then what are you doing this for?" Could it be that you really ......"

He pursed his lips: "Could it be that you are really just for the empire?" Like you said you can't split? ”

Li Zhen looked at him gently, not annoyed by his questioning. Then he stood up and walked to the window, looked at it with his back for a while, and said softly, "Not all." Probably the same purpose. Xiao Heng's purpose and I are the same as others'. ”

He turned to look at Pang Feihong: "And the kind of noble person you are talking about - in my opinion, it is the same." ”

"Xiao Heng and the others want to be self-reliant, probably because they feel that if they do that, they will be happier - they are even happier to be kings themselves. What about me? I think it makes me happier to see a unified empire that can fight against the species. Or maybe I have something else on my mind......"

He smiled: "The Philippines was not imperial territory in the past, but now the group of people in Southern Luzon used to be imperial citizens. In fact, it can be regarded as treason in a sense. But I think they are much better than Xiao Heng, and they are for me. I don't like to talk about big things, and I like to follow my heart in doing things. If Kozon was there, then I wanted to give her a gift - she had waited for me for so many years. ”

"What do you think if I give the central government another country and send it back, in exchange for them to recognize South Luzon of Kosong?"

Pang Feihong came to his senses after a while, frowned and relaxed, and then sighed in admiration, showing an unbelievable look on his face: "The ancients said that the country is hired...... General, you are really hired by the country! ”

But he hesitated, "But, there is one more question—can a unified empire really allow Southern Luzon to exist?" You must know that Yanjing's side just can't spare a hand now......"

Li Zhen laughed: "Do you think I'm stupid? As I said, I'm not a noble person. Could it be that when I leave this Yuzhou in the future, the person who takes over will not know what I have done here? I went somewhere else, I got them, and they'll all forget about it in the future? As long as I'm me, no one will forget what I've done here – otherwise what would I be doing with all this fanfare? ”

He sighed slightly: "Once upon a time, I was a lieutenant, a major, and a major general. But there are a lot of people on the head, and those people do a lot of things that are unpleasant to me. At that time, the empire was also a monolith - no matter how much they fought with each other, it was ...... As Ying Gong said, vested interest groups. But now the world has changed, and I think I'm a different person. ”

"So I've been thinking about it for the past few days......" he looked at Pang Feihong, "It's not impossible for me to act on behalf of the authority of the central government in the past." An empire is still an empire, but it has to become a better empire. ”

Pang Feihong felt that his mind was a little dizzy. He felt that he had already guessed Li Zhen's thoughts very boldly, but he hadn't thought of ......

It turns out that this man's ambition is not in one city or one place, but in one country!

He was a little dazed.

And Li Zhen saw his expression, and spread his hands again: "What did you think of again?" ”

Pang Feihong took a deep breath: "General, you ...... I...... I really answered that sentence - the ambition of the bird's nest and the bird. ”

Li Zhen glanced at him a few times, suddenly laughed helplessly, pointed at him, and shook his head: "Pang Feihong, you are a person...... Hehe, what do you say? You can't have some normal thoughts in your head? Or am I thinking too badly? So, do you think I want to be emperor? ”

"No, no......" Pang Feihong hurriedly waved his hand, "What's so good about the emperor-you can do it...... The Führer, the kind of Führer for life—"

Li Zhen glanced at him hatefully: "I never said that." I'm just trying to rebuild a new system on my own. In other words, to remove rust from this machine, as for other things, Pang Feihong, don't think too much. I'm not fit to be that kind of person, and I don't want to be that kind of person. If one day my goal is really accomplished, when the dust settles, it will be time for me to retire. ”

"I have more important things to do."

Pang Feihong replied, but couldn't help but glance at Li Zhen again. If those words just now were said by others, it would make people feel that they were "talking about a dream" - even when the overlord of Western Chu said "he can replace him", it was considered ignorant and nonsense by most people.

But this person is not any "ordinary person" in human history, or whether he is still a person, is an ambiguous question. Being in such an environment...... If he is really content with the status quo and lives his life in a proper manner, Pang Feihong feels that it seems to be the real incredible thing.

It's just that words like "the dust has settled" and "you will retire after success" - he only smiled in his heart. Maybe the other party also knows that when it comes to that point, this kind of thing is not something that can be decided by a person's will.

So he lowered his head and continued to look at some of the documents—really carefully and carefully.

Because he realizes one thing. This is the worst of times, but also the best of times. In an age like this, anything is possible.

And he may well be the one who will witness some earth-shattering change. So he has to do what is in front of him, so that he may be an indispensable force in the coming tide.

He felt very fortunate that he was born in such an era and around such a person. (To be continued......)
