Desperate

An earth-shattering event has recently taken place in the cabinet.

Although the prime minister had ordered to prepare for the establishment of the secretariat early on, saying that because of his advanced age, he had to train reserve talents to take over, but there was no progress.Although the Ministry of Administration agreed, but they have been with you for a long time. No one knows that Mr. Wu Ge has always pursued mysticism. Except for Her Majesty, even the two deputy prime ministers in the cabinet can't figure out what he is thinking. , let alone selecting talents from below.

The best way to serve this master is to listen to him.

But who knew that such a person was really sent up a month ago.

The administrative department was in a hurry, racking their brains but couldn't spare an acre of land for the new nobleman in the cabinet building where every inch of land was expensive. Come out, crying with exquisite makeup.

Just kidding, to offend Wu Ge's favorite person, isn't that touching a tiger's butt?

The administration department has been tossing and turning for a week without seeing the reason. The Senate and the cabinet are deadly enemies, and now a powerful person has been arrested by the people of the state for no apparent reason. It is said that it is the ghost of the cabinet. The atmosphere It is even more tense.Although it is declining day by day, there is no reason to make room for the prime minister's people anyway.

The little girl asked him cautiously: "Why don't you... go to the military headquarters and feel wronged?"

"No." The man answered firmly, sitting under the Statue of Wisdom in front of the cabinet building like a hard, stinky stone, with the things he packed up from the school at his feet, the little girl looked at him in disbelief. Rubbing the ring on his hand in a hurry, he sighed inappropriately in his heart, such a handsome and bad-tempered man actually got married so early.

The man noticed the other person's gaze, raised his eyebrows, and raised his left hand in a kind manner: "Why? Curious?"

Putting on the plain white finger was a simple silver ring, probably designed with an inner diamond, with a low-key and elegant appearance, shining brightly between the man's fingers.

"No...no." The little girl bowed her head in fright: "My... my lord, the conditions in the military department are very good... you..."

"That's fine." The man nodded, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "Get Liang Qian out, and I'll go in."

"You... aren't you embarrassing me..." The little girl was about to cry.

In the end, the upstart was safely moved into the cabinet building. Old Wu Ge’s confidant, the Ninth Knight, came to pick him up in person and placed him directly in the prime minister’s office. The small secretariat was equipped with security facilities, even the secretary They are all assigned a secretary, and Mr. Wu Ge is well-intentioned, as if he is afraid that this person will feel uncomfortable.

Hou Gu was a little excited. As a commoner who was not born in the imperial capital, working as a security guard in the cabinet building can be regarded as a prosperous career.Speaking of which, he was actually a soldier. Because of the unexplained preferential treatment, he was retired early. He was finally selected by the heart of the imperial capital because of his physique and fighting skills, and became the personal bodyguard of this new powerful man.

But seeing that this guy has taken root here for a month, Hu Gu felt something was wrong.

It's fine to deal with official duties every day, but this one is always taken away two hours before the end of work, then disappears for two hours, and is finally sent back with a bad face.Hou Gu stood at the door, nodding and bowing his head to send the man out, but the man didn't even look at him.

At first Hou Gu thought it was an important meeting, but he was still admiring in his heart. So many people came to talk to him when he first came.

But gradually the number of visitors increased, but Hou Gu found that there were only a few people coming and going.

Hou Gu was in the army at least, and he had seen pigs run away even if he had never eaten pork. He quietly counted the two big and three rough masters who came today, and he always felt that they were wearing a layer of skin like a dog. , but always carries some ruffian from the army.

In addition, it is said that he is the prime minister, but since the secretary moved into the prime minister's office, Mr. Wu Ge has never appeared. It didn't miss the face, and it was really a strange thing.

Hou Gu got off work a little late today, and was fascinated by the TV in the common room.The official channel broadcasts the rare good news since the start of the war. It is said that the nobles of the Senate on Qin Island were finally rescued, but the hero who rescued him was seriously injured. Honorary title of knight.

Hou Gu curled his lips. If life and death are unknown, shouldn't he go all out to search and rescue? What's the use of giving honorary titles?

He stayed in the secretary's room all afternoon without moving, his mouth dry.Now that the sun was setting, I guessed that the secretary would not come back today.So he simply locked the door and decided to go to the vending machine on this floor to buy a glass of water.

Hou Gu kicked his big leather shoes that didn't fit his feet and moved to the front of the vending machine. He looked down for his two steel coins in the security uniform, but was suddenly startled by a weak voice: "And Too many coins?"

Hou Gu was so frightened that his soul flew away, he jumped back two steps and found a squatting person on the ground: the new secretary was squatting in front of the vending machine, his hair was messed up as if he had just been raped, he shrugged. Pulling the beautiful eyelids, staring intently at the bottom layer of chocolate.

Only then did Hou Gu dare to take two steps closer, and for the first time in so many days, he spoke to this master: "You...don't bring any change?"

"I don't know where I lost my wallet." The man said succinctly, and stood up weakly with the help of the vending machine. Only then did Hou Gu realize that the man's eyes were bloodshot and he looked extremely tired.It's completely different from the tall and straight man in the suit and pen every morning.

Hou Gu suddenly felt that the person who came to work in the morning was probably pretending.

It's like holding a breath with someone and not wanting to show weakness.

He handed over the change, and the man took it with his slender fingertips, then threw it into the machine without hesitation, and pressed the code corresponding to the chocolate.

With a "click", what the man wanted was spit out.

Hou Gu watched him kneel down like that, and the brand-name suit pants rubbed against the carpet, whether it was clean or dirty. The man almost seemed to be unable to wait any longer. He pulled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. He was so choked that he retched and ate expressionlessly.

Hou Gu watched his handsome face stained by melted chocolate, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Hey, slow down..."

The man dodged his hand and had already swallowed the whole piece of chocolate. There was stain on the corner of his mouth, and the hand with the ring rested on the thin layer of glass of the machine. The fox stared at the leftovers without blinking. down.

"Do you still want to eat?" Hou Gu asked tentatively, only to see the man nodding his head. Hou Gu thought that he would not let the child be caught by the wolf. If he could really make this man happy, he would be short of these two chocolates.

So he took out the big ticket on his chest and handed it to him.

For more than an hour when the sun was setting, Hou Gu sat side by side with this man in the tea room, watching him eat pieces of chocolate bought from the vending machine, and the TV in the common room was turned on loudly. , still scrolling and playing similar information:

"It is reported that the battle on the front line is progressing smoothly. The empire has re-occupied the waters of Qindao, and the enemy's mothership has retreated to Qindao's straight-line distance of [-] nautical miles..."

"Because the enemy country took the lead in tearing up the peace treaty, the empire has begun to formulate a plan to mine new blood silver mines in the sea...for the research of new weapons..."

"The fifth unit of the Marine Corps performed bravely in the battle of Qindao. It is famous for the bravery of its deputy team. More than half of them were lost in this battle. Those who are missing are..."

After throwing away the last candy wrapper, the man stood up from the stairs staggeringly, staring blankly at the stretching tall buildings outside the window.The afterglow of the setting sun can no longer illuminate the outline of tall buildings, and the teeth hidden in the dark night are devouring everything.

What they guarded with their lives was nothing but this gray and dead thing.

He left him for something like this.

Hou Gu hesitated, wondering if he should help him.Cen Lu suddenly turned his head and looked at him seriously for the first time: "How old is it?"

Hou Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied nervously: "Ten...nineteen...it will be twenty next month."

"Been in the army?" Cen Lu glanced at his tight muscles, and suddenly paused as if remembering something, his eyelashes drooped: "I used to know a kid who was about your age, and he was also a soldier. later……"

He didn't go any further, and Hou Gu could guess it. Afraid of making people sad, the half-grown boy clumsily changed the subject: "You... have been in the army before?"

"I used to be a teacher." Cen Lu smiled, looking at the surprised eyes of the other party, he felt a little bitter in his heart: "Can't you see?"

"No...not," Hou Gu defended fidgeting, "It's you...you can tell at a glance that I have been in the army...and...have a gun..."

He pointed to the silver pistol that Cen Lu never left.

"Ah, this." Cen Lu untied the leather holster casually, and took out the 1911. He seemed to be very familiar with the game, and he unloaded the magazine in two or three strokes, and the magazine was empty. , but he looked at it for a long time as if there was something in it.

"M1911," Hou Gu flattered him, "good gun."

"I don't understand these things." Cen Lu looked up at him, "My wife gave it to me."

Hou Gu was drinking water, and he almost lost his breath after hearing these words. He wiped the saliva that spewed out together with the water, a little ashamed: "You... wife is really a heroine."

"Yeah, I don't know how to be a man." The man really smiled when he heard this, "I had a conflict with him, and he didn't know how to coax me, so he hid the ring in the magazine and gave it to me. Tell me, if I don't Demolition, do you not understand what he means for the rest of your life?"

"Then she... is waiting for you at home now?" Hou Gu didn't think too much, "It's getting late, you should go back early."

But I saw the man on the opposite side looking thoughtful: "Yeah, he's waiting for me. I'll go find him after I finish my business here."

The two were silent for a while, and suddenly there was some movement from the mailbox not far from the vending machine. Cen Luwen looked over and saw the postman delivering things to his box.

Hou Gu got it for him directly, and Cen Lu opened the outer packaging, and dropped the red wedding card inside, with the names of the bride and groom written on it in gilded cursive.

Groom: Liang Qian.

Bride: Dou Huaiye.
