Chapter 41: The Saints

"Your Royal Highness, do you need Bastian to follow this boy of unknown origin?" The tall, strong, round-sized man standing in front of Napoleon VII turned his head to look at Napoleon VII and asked in a deep voice.

Napoleon VII, who was standing with his back behind his back, saw that the back of "Lin Zhinuo" had disappeared into the crowded hall, turned around and walked to the bathroom, and said lightly: "No, no need, Maurice, although he is not shown on the map, I guess he is not the main body, maybe he has equipment that can block the search, maybe ..... He's just a first-level novice who doesn't even have experience points..... There is no point in stalking him. ”

The man named Maurice helped Napoleon VII push open the door to the bathroom and asked, "What about ..... Does the information he just gave need to be verified?"

"Of course it needs to be..... You should now inform Bernard to find out who Filaret Dmitrievich Shirkov really is, and to find out if there are any Taijisaurus people coming to Europe recently. ”

"Do you suspect that he is an official person in Huaxia?"

Napoleon VII walked into the washroom covered with gold pansy pattern wall tiles, the front half of the washroom stood on the left side of the three antique-looking brass pipes and a single urinal depicting the German-Polish War, the front half of the right side of the door is the washbasin, the back half is the squatting position with the door, and the four gold-painted doors are luxurious to make people wonder if this is a washroom.

Napoleon VII did not choose a squatting position with a door, but walked straight to the urinal, he never let his body leave the sight of the bodyguards, "There are no trustworthy Chinese intelligence dealers in the dark web, except for the hidden dragon group of Taiji Dragon, there is no intelligence organization with Chinese people as the main body, if this source is correct, this Lin Zhinuo and the hidden dragon group will definitely be inseparable." ”

"If this news is correct, then why did the Huaxia people tell you this information? This is really unreasonable....." Morris asked with a puzzled face.

"Of course, the cross bee wants everyone, but it is also a hot potato, and if you don't have any strength to take it, you will only get into trouble, not to mention that for an organization, if you want to develop and grow, you can't just look at the small profits in front of you, today's Europe is the most chaotic period in history, the Holy See's Mission Department (one of the Nine Holy Ministry, also known as the Ministry of Evangelization of All Peoples, is specifically responsible for training and sending missionaries, arranging and carrying out missionary work in churches around the world, and providing financial and spiritual support. Far less powerful than in the past, and the influence of our aristocracy on Europe is also declining, and the law enforcers of various countries are wary of both the Holy See and even more of us, in fact, no matter who they are, they all want to restore the prosperity of Europe, but we who should be powerful are fighting our own battles because of our different interests....."

Napoleon buttoned up his trousers and left the urinal, and the sound of rushing water rang out.

"This is undoubtedly the worst time for us, everyone knows that the Chosen One is a money-burning thing, and without the support of money and technology, even if there is the historical accumulation of our ancestors, sooner or later it will be reduced to second-rate..... The Rockefellers could not always occupy the position of the twelve generals by virtue of their 'gravitational pull', and the Napoleonic family could not always be the presidents of the Rosicrucians (note 1) by virtue of the 'vortex electric field'...... Every scientific and technological revolution is an opportunity to reshuffle the cards for both the world and the world, and now we are standing on the cusp of history, either continuing to lead the trend or being swallowed up by the wave......"

Napoleon VII turned off the brass faucet, Maurice immediately handed him a tissue, Napoleon VII dried his hands, crumpled the tissue, threw it into the trash can, and then walked towards the door of the bathroom, "Now the rise of the Eastern world is quite fast, so fast that neither we nor the Americans are ready, perhaps, cooperating with the atheists in the East, is a good choice." ”

"And are we going to keep tracking down Tomiginous and Punsbaritis?"

"Of course, even if my father's death had nothing to do with the church, they were responsible, and why do you think Tomignan and Punsbaletis came to Warsaw?"

"Because the closest route from Paris to Moscow must pass through Warsaw?"

"If the news given to me by this Chinese man named Lin Zhinuo is true, then it means that the person named Filaret Dmitrievich Shirkov is fleeing to Russia, so we also have to find out how many people have recently entered Poland from Belarus in the 'Sunflower Flag' (the agency of Russian law enforcers), and maybe among them will be our old friends....." When Napoleon VII said this, he paused at the side door to enter the hall, and he stood in the shadows and looked around the hall, and found no shadow of the Oriental Lin Zhinuo.

Before Napoleon VII stepped into the confines of the hall, he silently recited in his heart: "It is okay to offend God, but it is okay to offend our Napoleonic family, whoever it is, I will definitely make you regret it....."

Li Jiting watched Cheng Mo walk out of the royal castle and then disappear into the vast night, turned his head to look at the brown-haired girl and said, "Vodianova, are you sure that Shirkov has nothing to do with the Sunflower Banner people?"

"It is almost certain that in fact Charles's death was only because he was too negligent, he not only let Shirkov know that he had a cross bee on his hand, but also trusted his mistress too much, took Shirkov to seduce his mistress, and then Charles was poisoned and killed by his mistress, and on the same day Shirkov arranged for Charles's mistress to flee to the United States by plane, but Shirkov himself quietly drove across the European continent and went straight to the Belarusian border..... The papacy found out too late and followed Shirkov to Warsaw and lost his tracks..... Now it's not just the people of the Holy See who are looking for him, but also the people of the Sunflower Banner who are looking for him....." The sexy girl in a Byzantine-style black knee-length skirt spoke fluently in Chinese and with a strong Beijing accent when answering Li Jiting's question.

"Then didn't he go to Russia to fall into the net?" Li Jiting said with a smile.

"The fact that he can disappear without a trace in the encirclement and interception of the Holy See shows that there are other forces that are helping him, but I don't know which one it is yet..."

Li Jiting thought about it, smiled and said: "If he runs to Russia, it's actually easy to guess....."

"You mean......" Vodianova suddenly realized.

Li Jiting looked at it, "Uh-huh! What a smart girl..... To reward you for your cleverness, you are allowed to sleep with me tonight, I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

However, before Li Jiting's words could be heard, he was slammed on the instep of a black Christian Louboutin red-soled shoe.

"Don't dream, even if I sleep with Zheng Fatzi, I won't be cheap for you playboy!"

Li Jiting grinned and gasped, "As for it, my dear Vodianova..... Zheng Fatzi wants to know that you say this, I am afraid that I will be happy and fly from the capital to Warsaw to spend the night with you....."

"Can you be serious? Now is the time to do things! And is this new person you found reliable? Are you going to introduce him to Tai Chi Dragon?"

Li Jiting shook his head, "No, he's just making a temporary cameo, and the main task has nothing to do with him..... Don't record anything about him, and don't tell anyone about it. ”

"This ..... Is that okay? It's kind of against the principles of the organization?"

"There's nothing you can't do, I'm your head...."Li Jiting shrugged his shoulders, and then put his arm around Vodianova's shoulder, "Let's go, it's late at night, let's go to sleep." ”

"Sleep on you big-headed ghost, sooner or later you'll have to die on a woman's belly....."

"Isn't there a saying: 'Death under the peony flower, it is also romantic to be a ghost'? Dying in a woman's body is definitely the most romantic way for a man to die! If I had a choice, I would like to die on your body, Vodianova, your beauty and wisdom are the greatest reward for me!"

"Okay, team leader, use your sweet words to coax the girls who don't know you!" Vodianova broke free of Li Jiting's hand and walked towards the outside of the royal castle.

Li Jiting smiled and waved his hand, "Vodianova, after this village, there will be no such shop, next time you want to sleep with me, you may not have a chance!"

Vodyanova turned around and raised her middle finger with her left hand to Li Jiting, and the middle finger of her right hand ripped off her eyelid, grimaced, and then continued to walk towards the depths of the night.

Li Jiting smiled and shook his head, even if it was funny, it did not damage the beauty of this Russian girl, in fact, her side job was a model, and her main job was the intelligence officer of the Qianlong Group.

Li Jiting waited for Vodianova to disappear from view, his smiling face gradually cooled, and his face became serious, he raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said softly to himself: "This play is getting more and more exciting, and it's time to meet old friends....."

After speaking, Li Jiting's figure disappeared in place, as if it had never existed.

——————————

A black Mercedes-Benz G500 was running on the highway from Warsaw to Brest, and Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun sat in the back seat of the car and looked at the blurred scenery outside the window.

Xie Minyun held the co-pilot's seat with both hands, raised her body and looked at the speedometer, the speed of the car had reached one hundred and eighteen, she coughed, and said loudly angrily: "Uncle Li, are you in a hurry to go to the west to learn scriptures?"

Li Jiting did not look back, nor did he slow down the car, but just lowered the sound of Chopin's "Piano Concerto No. 1" that was playing on the stereo, and then said: "Don't worry! Your Uncle Li is a scourge that has not died for thousands of years..... It's not so easy to go to the west and see Marx, his old man's ....."

"Why did you suddenly say that you want to take us to Moscow?" Li Jiting got up early in the morning this morning, took Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun for breakfast, and then went to the embassy to apply for visas for Belarus and Russia.

Then Li Jiting threw down the small mini painted with the Italian flag, got a Mercedes-Benz G500 from somewhere, and took Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo on the way straight to the Belarusian border city of Brest.

Originally, Xie Minyun thought that Warsaw was probably the end of their trip, but he didn't expect Li Jiting to take them to Russia, and this sudden trip made Xie Minyun very puzzled.

Of course, Cheng Mo knew why, they were tracking down a former Russian nobleman named Filaret Dmitrievich Shirkov, but he didn't know why Li Jiting would take Xie Minyun with him, he didn't think that this matter was risk-free, on the contrary, it must be a dangerous event that would kill him if he was not careful.

"Have you ever been to Moscow?"

Xie Minyun hesitated for a moment and said, "I've been.... But that was when I was a child, and I don't have much of an impression of Moscow other than onion-headed buildings and endless snow....."

"Our generation is different from your generation, we don't sing anything in that era "East Wind Breaks" and "Nunchuck", we sing "Katyusha", "Cranberry Blossoms", "Three Sets of Cars", we don't have "Crazy Boy" or "Spider-Man", we worship Paul Kochakin's "Iron Will", we didn't have comics at that time, there was no "Dragon Ball" by Akira Toriyama, there was no "Saint Seiya" by Masami Cheda, and there was no light and online text, only Pushkin's "Evgeny Onegin", Turgenev's "Hunter's Notes", Lermontov's "Contemporary Heroes", Leo Tolstoy's "Resurrection", "Anna Karenina", ..... For us, the artistic sky of Russia will always be bright and bright, and it will always shelter the suffering mankind, so that mankind can see bright hope and splendor in the intervals between famines, disasters and wars...."

After a pause, Li Jiting sighed: "However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it seems that all these lights have been extinguished! But Moscow and St. Petersburg are still cities that must be visited, in fact, there are only two cities in Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the others are in the countryside." St. Petersburg has all the advantages of Shanghai, and the capital has all the disadvantages of Moscow. I have been to so many countries, and finally I like all the Socialist countries I have visited, whether they were or still are, whether they are rich or poor, whether they are collectivist or individualistic, I see smiling faces and hope in every country, and I still believe that the ultimate goal of human development is to achieve maximum freedom, as the "*** Declaration" says, in that wonderful world,' The free development of each individual is the premise of the free development of all human beings'......."

"Uncle Li, you're talking too far, aren't you? and I'm not used to your serious speech, and your words and deeds make it hard to believe that you are actually a staunch Communism fighter.....

"Haha! I'm not the same revisionist as your parents, for me Communism is a feeling, a feeling of breaking free from oppression, a feeling of admiring industry, a feeling of being rough and bold, and a feeling of sailing to the sea of stars..... Yes, our journey is the sea of stars!" Li Jiting said loudly in a high-pitched voice, his voice even overshadowing the singing of the third movement of Chai Liu in the stereo.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but think of a poem called "Saints": We are saints, dear sir.

In the journey of pursuing a distant future, we have no hesitation.

Maybe you have to climb over the snow-capped blue mountains at the end of the world, or cross the moody sea.

The heart is like a saint, and he is in danger of all dangers, and the comfortable and smooth road has never been like a stranger to us.

The soul spreads its wings to face the unknown, and the courage pursues the danger on the side. We are hungry and thirsty.

Then live to meet the next dawn and challenges.

Only in this way can you find inner peace.

He wisely told everyone: "I once overlooked all beings on the top of the farthest mountain, where I received perfection and enlightenment, and I practiced it, and experienced cold, warmth, hunger and thirst.

Then live to meet the next dawn and challenges.

Finally, I found inner peace.

I will tell you wisely: "I once looked down on all beings from the farthest mountain top, and there I received perfection and enlightenment, a true epiphany in the depths of my soul.

That's what my life is all about. It is my heartfelt choice! Our journey is a sea of stars!"

Cheng Mo saw Li Jiting's face through the rearview mirror, and a rare piety appeared in his expression, and his face was usually full of cynical sincere smiles.

But in this moment, he is a devout believer.

Or is it a saint?
