The 218 th Zhang Zhong and wild bird 第二百一十八章钟与野鸟 By by the car(riage), Xu Le rubs the snow slush on shoes on the tire, made a fist to cough two, set upright the collar of half-length military uniform, kept off to travel around in the cold wind in streets and alleys slightly. 靠在车旁,许乐将鞋上的雪泥蹭在轮胎上,握拳咳了两声,将半身军装的衣领竖了起来,稍挡周游于街巷间的寒风。 He takes out two smoke from the hard paper carton, lights one to hold in the mouth on the mouth, another gave Bai Yulan. Bai Yulan lowers the head, the vision looks by the faint trace black hair to the Ministry of Justice building front, hesitant moment, received the cigarette to clamp, has not actually lit. 他从硬纸盒里取出两只烟,点燃一根叼在嘴上,另一根递给了白玉兰。白玉兰低着头,目光透过丝丝黑发望向司法部大楼前方,犹豫了片刻,接过香烟夹着,却没有点燃。 The snow of appearing suddenly had stopped, the cold wind is actually still blowing, since constructs in the angle of deflection to stroke the powder snow uninterrupted, scatters in all directions revolving in the air. The Ministry of Justice building front flashing light flashes fast, these snowflake shining holiness, seems like in a concert the perfect stage of careful design to be the same. 自天而降的雪已经停了,寒冷的风却依然在刮着,从无人打扰的建筑偏角中拂起粉雪,四散旋转于空气之中。司法部大楼前方闪光灯快速闪动,将那些雪片耀的更加圣洁,看上去就像是一场演唱会里精心设计的完美舞台一般。 Xu Le smoked a cigarette ruthlessly, the firing line burnt to the lower limb of first 7 character instantaneously, he narrowed the eye to look at that side, actually although in seeing clearly to have anything, but the television in car(riage) had started, was at the scene of live broadcast that place. 许乐狠狠地吸了一口香烟,火线瞬间燃至了第一个七字的下缘,他眯着眼睛看着那边,虽然看不清楚里面究竟发生了什么,但车内的电视已经开了,正在直播那处的场景。 The federal government stopped the investigation of Medellin special case officially, the spokesman also regrettable expression of parliamentary mountain, because the key witness and exhibit defect, public hearing being forced postpones indefinitely. The Justice Minister resigns, Congress is furious, President Seger had not said, Medellin went out of the Ministry of Justice building finally. 联邦政府正式中止了麦德林专案的调查,议会山的新闻发言人也遗憾的表示,因为关键证人以及证物的缺失,听证会被迫无限期延期。司法部长辞职,国会震怒,席格总统没有表示,麦德林终于走出了司法部大楼。 Outside the building, Congressman Medellin hugs with Governor Ross who coming to greet kindly, reaches several thousand people of support crowds to wave to all around warmly, seems like a victor, then this victor, under the crowding around of countless person, along the street of duplicate snow, walks in West parliamentary mountain. 在大楼外,麦德林议员与前来迎接的罗斯州长亲切拥抱,向四周多达数千人的支持人群热情挥手,看上去就像是一个胜利者,然后这名胜利者,在无数人的簇拥之下,沿着覆雪的街道,向着西方的议会山方向走去。 Xu Le has not moved, he still stood by the car(riage) silent, is smoking one after another, originally this no longer is his matter, but he made too many efforts, then always wants to look that this incredible play develops. 许乐没有动,他仍然沉默地站在车旁,一根又一根地吸着烟,本来这已经不再是他的事情,只是他为之付出了太多心力,便总想看着这出荒诞戏剧演下去。 Governor Ross makes Congressman Medellin walk very much politely in the frontline, this was calm, just the old person who walked from the Ministry of Justice building, the facial expression was calm and firm and resolute, leading the innumerable supporters to arrive under the parliament building, line, only then people affectionate attention and warm applause, but this old man, like a sage. 罗斯州长很有礼貌地让麦德林议员走在最前方,这位一脸平静,刚从司法部大楼里走出来的老人,神情沉着而坚毅,带领着无数的支持者走到了议会大厦下方,一路行来,只有民众饱含深情的注目和热情的掌声,而这老者,则像一个圣人。 Before parliament building, has arranged appropriately, here wind is more extravagant, snow that the building withstand/top swayed is denser, the flashing light are more, looks like a stage. 议会大厦前早已布置妥当,此处风更阔,大厦顶上的积雪被吹拂的更密,闪光灯更多,更像一个舞台。 Xu Le is looking at that side from afar, actually thinks in that stage near the Hai State stadium, goes around a mountain four state that stages. 许乐远远地瞄着那边,却只是想到了临海州体育馆里那个舞台,环山四州那个舞台。 Before the parliament building, Congressman Medellin in the company of Governor Ross as well as several great person of noble character and high prestige, to the entire federation as well as own supporter, announced a shocking decision- he decides to withdraw from the federal the presidential election. 在议会大厦前,麦德林议员在罗斯州长以及几位德高望重的大人物陪伴下,向整个联邦以及自己的支持者,宣布了一个令人震惊的决定-他决定退出联邦的总统大选。 After news issue, all media reporters were probably insane generally, starts with the respective department connection, but these excited even somewhat stimulated supporters, cannot respond suddenly, has the frustrated puzzled color, stands in same place, was shouting loudly the slogan vanished, is grasping excitedly the fist, actually still stays in in the air. 消息发布之后,所有的媒体记者像是疯了一般,开始与各自的部门连线,而那些兴奋甚至有些亢奋的支持者们,却是一时间反应不过来,带着惘然困惑之色,怔怔地站在原地,大声喊着的口号消失了,激动握着的拳头,却依然停留在空中。 Governor Ross walked up, patted Congressman Medellin the slightly thin shoulder, lowered the head was saying to the speaker several anything , indicating oneself fully understood that the idea of Congressman Medellin, stood in the side of friend firmly, announced decision that withdrew from together. 罗斯州长走上前来,拍了拍麦德林议员略显瘦削的肩膀,低头对着扬声器说了几句什么,表示自己充分理解麦德林议员的想法,坚定地站在友人的一方,宣布了共同退出的决定。 „Can you give up?” Some people shout sadly sadly said. “您要放弃吗？”有人伤心难过地呼喊道。 „Cannot yield to the government.” Some people said angrily loudly. “不能对政府让步。”有人愤怒地大声说道。 Congressman Medellin outstretched both hands, gently and started own speech again in the snowflake firmly. 麦德林议员伸开了双手,在雪花中慈祥而坚定地开始了自己的再一次演讲。 ...... …… Before not being able to see clearly the parliament building, had anything, vehicle-borne illuminant shield is actually faithful all that has there, passed to the ear of Xu Le in the eye. He pulled out a cigarette ruthlessly, burns to the firing line of filter tip, sends out the unendurable burnt odor flavor. 看不清议会大厦前发生了什么,身旁的车载光屏却忠实将那里发生的一切,传到了许乐的耳中眼中。他狠狠地拔了一口香烟,燃烧到过滤嘴的火线,散发出令人难以忍受的焦臭味道。 Bai Yulan looked at his one eyes, has not said anything. 白玉兰看了他一眼,没有说什么。 Must by the federal law trial, actually go out of Ministry of Justice shortly suddenly. Was attacked by the federation soon cannot support, Medellin can still mobilize the innumerable supporters to stand in oneself behind, at this time suddenly announced withdraws from the election! 眼看着要被联邦法律审判,却忽然间走出了司法部。被联邦打击到快要撑不下去的时候,麦德林依然能够发动无数的支持者站在自己身后,这时候却忽然宣布了退出大选！ Behind the shocking change, actually to be hiding many benefit exchanges and behind-the-scenes plotting transactions, Xu Le does not need to think, can 12, as Congressman Pabou of final victor, no, accurate federal great people represented by Madam Tai, certainly to Medellin the security and Governor Ross of the position in federalism life, will offer the corresponding commitment in the future. 令人震惊的变动背后,究竟隐藏着多少利益互换与黑幕交易,许乐不用想,也能品出一二,作为最后胜利者的帕布尔议员,不,准确来说是以邰夫人为代表的联邦大人物们,一定对麦德林的安全及罗斯州长将来在联邦政治生活中的地位,给出了相应的承诺。 In black automobile spreads Congressman Medellin the old sound. 身旁的黑色汽车里传出麦德林议员苍老的声音。 „The threat of empire is close at hand, the federation needs to unite, as a veteran, I must request here sincerely everyone unites in the federal surroundings.” “帝国的威胁近在眼前,联邦需要团结,作为一名老兵,我在这里必须恳切地请求大家团结在联邦的周围。” This congressman's speech always like this sincere, sincere moving, „the sandstorm of history cannot cover up the truth eventually, several nights of Ministry of Justice building, making me think deeply for a long time, under the current situation, was my political honor or disgrace to be actually important, did the unity of federation stabilize is more important?......” 这位议员的演讲总是这样的情真意切,诚恳动人,“历史的风沙终究掩盖不住真相,司法部大楼的数夜,令我深思许久,在当前的局势下,究竟是我个人的政治荣辱重要,还是联邦的团结稳定更为重要？……” „Today, I announce the withdrawal before the federal parliament mountain, is not because I am disappointed about the federal spirit, the choice gives up, because I love this federation, moreover loves incomparable deep.” “今天,我在联邦议会山前宣布退选,不是因为我对联邦的精神感到失望,选择放弃,而是因为我爱这个联邦,而且爱的无比深沉。” Sincere palm sound. 真挚的掌声响了起来。 ...... …… „Looks at that side to be pitch-dark, is one group of disgusting people.” Xu Le lit cigarette, is maintaining the tranquility in surface as far as possible, but the slightly mute sound actually exposed he several real mood. “看那边黑洞洞,都是一群令人恶心的人。”许乐又点燃了一根烟,尽可能地保持着表面上的平静,但微哑的声音却展露了他几丝真实的情绪。 „I in the past when the Hexi Province library read, discovered for dozens years ago also no patriotic view. Has the invasion of empire, people think patriotically, everyone loves federal state, however the patriotic this reputation, has actually become the villain final refuge shelter of now.” “我当年在河西州图书馆看书的时候,发现几十年前还没有什么爱国的说法。有帝国的入侵,人们才想起来爱国,人人都爱联邦这个国度,然而现在爱国这个名头,却已经成了恶棍最后的避难所。” Before Xu Le does not want to listen to the parliamentary mountain, again that old person's voice, although he knows since childhood federal society has too many darkness, but has not really thought, in Capital Star Circle these places, the dark thing, can cover a attractive bright and beautiful coat unexpectedly, then mooches in the holy white snow. 许乐不想再听议会山前那老人的声音,虽然他从小就知道联邦这个社会里有太多的黑暗,但还真没有想到,在首都星圈这些地方,黑暗的东西,居然能够蒙上如此光鲜亮丽的一件外衣,然后招摇撞骗于圣洁白雪之中。 Switched off the vehicle-borne television, the black automobile silent silent rolled by left side of the parliament building path, only used for several minutes, then went to the charter square. 关掉了车载电视,黑色汽车沉默无声地驶过议会大厦左侧的道路,只用了几分钟的时间,便来到了宪章广场。 In the midpoint of charter square, the statues of five people of groups tower high, have thin Xueji in the top of the heads and shoulders of these past worthies, the material quality of copper in the style of antiquity in the snow day, seems has the feeling of vicissitudes. 在宪章广场的正中央,五人小组的雕像高高耸立,有薄雪积于这些前贤的头顶和肩头,仿古铜的材质在雪天里,显得颇具沧桑之感。 The dead ahead of this group of giant statues, is placing unwieldy ancient bell, according to the initial teaching material of federation said, this Representative ancient bell human is only keeping issuing the summon to the universe, innumerable years ago, when the human society appears in Highwood starts, this only ancient bell then places here, until now, does not know that serviced many years, but the ding has not stopped has rested, according to the federal legal date, often resounds, is tranquil and eternal. 这组巨大雕像的正前方,安置着一只笨重的古钟,根据联邦的初期教材所称,这只古钟代表着人类向宇宙不停地发出呼唤,无数年前,当人类社会出现在上林开始,这只古钟便摆放在此处,直至今日,不知维修了多少年,但钟声从来没有止歇过,按照联邦法定的日期,不时响起,平静而又永恒。 Xu Le is the Eastwood orphan, stems from Bell Tower Street, is away from the misty glass to look at peaceful ancient bell, he very natural thinks that joke about fourth military region, that Eastwood person very familiar is lonelier than the smoke and fire, warship that crashes in the Eastwood Grand District surface, that exceptionally solid bell. 许乐是东林孤儿,出自钟楼街,隔着蒙蒙车窗看着安静的古钟,他很自然地想到关于第四军区的那个笑话,那句东林人很熟悉的比烟火还要寂寞,那艘坠毁在东林大区地表的军舰,那个异常结实的大钟。 It is said in the past the fourth military region developed Eastwood, along with the ship carries, is in the charter square this only ancient bell replica. 据说当年第四军区开拓东林时,随舰携带的,便是宪章广场上这只古钟的复制品。 „This year's election was really unexpected.” Bai Yulan is driving, while is speaking, has not sized up the Xu Le facial expression with the split vision, but these words are obviously probing anything very much. “今年的大选实在是太出人意料了。”白玉兰一边开着车,一边说着话,没有用余光去打量许乐的神情,但这句话很明显是在试探什么。 „Has not related with me, I am only an unimportant person.” Xu Le still looks at the square in out of the window, speaking thoughtlessly replies. “和我没关系,我只是个小人物。”许乐依然看着窗外的广场,随口回答道。 Bai Yulan does not think that Xu Le is an unimportant person, believes that present federal also few individuals also believe like this, particularly previously the news before Capitol Hill, let some mood that Xu Le reveals, making him indistinct within to catch a point anything. 白玉兰并不认为许乐是个小人物,相信如今的联邦也没几个人还会这样认为,尤其是先前国会山前的消息,让许乐流露的一些情绪,让他隐约间捕捉到了一点什么。 In the square was usually proud dares freely and even in the wild birds that five people of group statue top of the heads defecate, has flown because of the severely cold weather to the state even southern place, the automobile process, only then in the lawn these fattened up the pigeon is still eating, the Capital People do not stint this small food to express the affection, but Xu Le looks the pigeon that these are not willing to fly away, always has no good impression. 广场上平素骄傲自由、甚至敢在五人小组雕像头顶拉屎的野鸟们,早已因为严寒的天气而飞向了南科州甚至更南的地方,汽车一路经过,只有草坪上那些养肥了的鸽子还在吃食,首都民众们并不吝惜这点小食物来表达爱心,但许乐看着那些不肯飞走的鸽子,总没有什么好的观感。 Is this probably then the portrayal of federal society? Cannot the ability that flies or does not want to fly stay behind, these dare in the fellow who the great person top of the head defecates, only then leaves. 这大概便是联邦社会的写照？不能飞或不想飞的才能留下,那些敢在大人物头顶拉屎的家伙,只有离开。 „I actually am also want in the wild creatures that the great person top of the head defecates.” Xu Le in is so thinking at heart, sighs gently. “我其实也是个想在大人物头顶拉屎的野物。”许乐在心里这般想着,轻轻地叹了一口气。 ...... …… When delaying on road, arriving in suburb clear water company is late, under assistant president leads personally, Xu Le and Bai Yulan entered the verification room directly. 因为路上的耽搁,抵达郊外白水公司时已经迟了,不过在总裁助理亲自带领下,许乐和白玉兰还是直接走进了审核室。 This is the business of security decision-making body, although the seventh small battle group belongs to this department in name, but the clear water company knows from top to bottom, in the past this small battle group was engaged is certainly the level of secrecy bad risk business, Xu Le is not clear, why the seventh group for was chosen to take the bodyguard. 这是安全决策部门的业务,第七战斗小组虽然名义上归属这个部门,但白水公司由上至下都知道,这个战斗小组当年从事的都是绝密级凶险业务,许乐不明白,为什么第七小组为被挑选作为保镖。 Until saw that middle-aged woman named Sister Tong, he understands a point anything, thinks the young female student who Sister Tong that purple sends behind, why does not know, he these days some have not handled with the sad mood, immediately became well. 直到看到了那位叫做桐姐的中年女人,他才明白了一点什么,想到了桐姐身后那个紫发的小女生,不知道为什么,他这些日子一直有些无措和忧愁的心情,顿时变得好了许多。 During the following independent talk, Xu Le said to Sister Tong very much earnestly: „If you choose the wish of security team, mainly in view of me, I must tell you very much sincerely, I have not known how long in Capital Star Circle I will stay, perhaps passed for two days I to leave.” 在接下来的单独谈话之中,许乐很认真地对桐姐说道:“如果您挑选保安队伍的意愿,主要是针对我,那我必须很诚恳地告诉您,我还不知道我会在首都星圈呆多久,也许过两天我就要离开了。” „Does not conceal, you should among very clear this year on the young lady what happened, although I think that we have the trouble-free service of ability to young lady to make the safeguard, but the young lady resists certain arrangements very much.” Sister Tong had not explained that certain arrangements are anything arrange, said to Xu Le directly: „Young lady trusts your ability, will therefore agree with the plan of clear water corporate security plan department.” “一点都不隐瞒,你应该很清楚这一年间小姐身上发生了什么事情,虽然我认为我们有能力对小姐的安全工作做出保障,但是小姐本身很抗拒某些安排。”桐姐没有解释某些安排是什么安排,直接对许乐说道:“小姐信任你的能力,所以才会同意白水公司安全策划部门的计划。” „But I may leave immediately.” Xu Le lowers the head, thinks that before previous parliamentary mountain, after silent moment, said: „Perhaps I must work, but which decision, I am unable to stay am too long.” “但我可能会马上离开。”许乐低下头来,想到先前议会山前的那一幕,沉默了片刻后说道:“或许我要去做事,但不论是哪种决定,我都无法呆太久。” „This is the long-term collaboration, only if you do not come back.” Sister Tong visits him tranquilly, that assassination the year ago, to these inside stories that afterward side understood, her strength to the front young man has the absolute confidence, young lady's safety will give him, truly is a good decision. “这是长期合作,除非你不回来了。”桐姐平静地看着他,从年前那场暗杀,一直到后来侧面了解的那些内幕,她对面前这个年轻男人的实力有绝对的信心,将小姐的安全交给他,确实是个不错的决定。 „I really may not come back.” Xu Le raised the head to smile was saying. “我真有可能不回来了。”许乐抬起头来微笑着说道。 „Young lady makes me remind your one, you had said owes her a life.” Sister Tong said. “小姐让我提醒你一声,你曾经说过欠她一条命。”桐姐说道。 ...... ……
