Chapter 16 freedom and mill knife 第16章自由与磨刀 President Pabou has not complied with Xu Le anything, although he announced personally Xu Le is a federal hero who must not exposed to the light, but cannot make Xu Le want a lion's share. The special amnesty is not a minor matter, pardons the object let alone is the intelligence personnel of rebellion, Mr. President must consider political risk that this matter probably brings. 帕布尔总统并没有答应许乐什么,虽然他亲口宣告许乐是一位见不得光的联邦英雄,但总不能让许乐狮子大开口。特赦不是一件小事,更何况特赦对象是反政府军的情报人员,总统先生必须要考虑这件事情可能带来的政治风险。 In presidential palace another office, Xu Le lowers the head to keep signing the legal document, the federal law is allowing the president to conduct the special amnesty, but related legal proceeding exceptionally complicated, although there is a Ministry of Defense internal affairs place plenary powers to act these legal proceedings for him, is the final signature authentication, is a big work. 在总统官邸另一间办公室里,许乐低头不停地签着法律文书,联邦法律允许总统进行特赦,但相关的法律程序异常繁复,虽然有国防部内务处全权替他代理这些法律程序,可是最后的签字认证,也是不小的工作。 The several-cm legal document signs, he was also brought in another office, does not have on the black desktop of thing smoothly, is placing the light two documents. 厚达十几厘米的法律文书签署完毕,他又被带到了另一间办公室内,光滑无物的黑色桌面上,摆放着薄薄的两份文件。 General Miles sits in the one side holds in the mouth the root thick tobacco to attract, several Ministry of Defense military officers are waiting for him. 迈尔斯上将坐在一旁叼着根粗烟草在吸,几名国防部的军官正等待着他。 Xu Le knows, only then signs these two documents, oneself can gain the freedom truly. He walks up, read two light documents earnestly, in the eye pupil flashed through doubts. 许乐知道只有将这两份文件签完,自己才能真正获得自由。他走上前去,将两份薄薄的文件认真地阅读了一遍,眼眸里不禁闪过了一丝疑惑。 After prison talk, he thinks that army god Li Pifu has seen through oneself all details, the military supports itself presidential pardon, because the army needs own special capability, enters the empire to work as the spy, dare-to-die corps that acts as this mammoth universe war. 监狱谈话之后,他本以为军神李匹夫早已看穿自己所有的底细,军方之所以支持总统特赦自己,因为军队需要自己的特殊能力,进入帝国去当间谍,充当这场波澜壮阔宇宙战争的敢死队。 However he has not thought, in these two documents has not forgiven the content of this aspect, but requests itself to give up certain related rights, accepts any order of federal military to dispatch at any time. 然而他没有想到,这两份文件里并没有包涵这方面的内容,只是要求自己放弃某些相关的权利,随时接受联邦军方的任何命令调遣。 Perhaps had this provision hidden that meaning? He narrows the eye to look that the document wants saying that signs this document, then must become a life-long federal soldier, must pledge to fight to the death incessantly the obedient military order like the soldier, may probably be arranged to handle some strange matter. 或许这个条款已经隐藏了那个意思？他眯着眼睛看着文件想道,签下这份文件,便要成为一名终生的联邦军人,不止像军人那样要誓死服从军令,更有可能要被安排去做些很奇怪的事情。 He did not think that this has anything is not unfair, 713-year imprisonment, was cancelled by Mr. President one, oneself handle something for the federation, is natural. On the contrary, he instead thought that such condition is really extremely excellent. 他并不觉得这有什么不公平,713年的有期徒刑,被总统先生一笔抹去,自己为联邦做些事情,非常理所应当。相反,他反而觉得这样的条件实在是太过优厚。 „You have one month of vacation, then to the Ministry of Defense registration, whom as for looking for reported, your oneself were clear.” General Miles put down the tobacco in hand, said: „I do not know why the Teacher will appreciate you, but I am not willing to look that your boy died, signed the document, then hurries to leave.” “你有一个月的假期,然后到国防部报到,至于找谁报道,你自己清楚。”迈尔斯上将放下了手中的烟草,说道:“我不知道师长为什么会这么欣赏你,不过我本来也就不愿意看着你这小子死掉,把文件签了,然后赶紧走人。” „Shi Qinghai matter?” Xu Le still grabs this issue not to put, said earnestly: „Even if signed the document, I possibly do not carry out the responsibility.” “施清海的事情？”许乐依然抓着这个问题不放,认真说道:“就算签了文件,我也可能不履行职责。” „Does not carry out the responsibility, the decree of special pardon then cancels automatically, you must be closed in the fox fortress 713 years.” General Miles looks like only the eagle to stare at his eye. “不履行职责,特赦令便自动取消,你就要被关在狐狸堡垒七百一十三年。”迈尔斯上将像只老鹰般盯着他的眼睛。 „I do not fear the pass/test.” Xu Le smiles bitterly and astringently, then starts to start to write. “我不怕关。”许乐苦涩一笑,然后开始落笔。 After signing the light copy clerk of similar indenture of sale of person into servitude, very obvious General Miles, was that several Ministry of Defense military officer, relaxes. 签完了类似卖身契的薄薄文书之后,很明显无论是迈尔斯上将,还是那几名国防部的军官,都同时松了一口气。 As federal military number one, awards a decoration to Xu Le, is the special amnesty, signs the copy clerk at this time, General Miles should not appear, but this is his senior Teacher in the duty that in the telephone explains personally, being beyond control he is not discrete. 作为联邦军方头号人物,无论是给许乐授勋,还是特赦,还是此时签署文书,迈尔斯上将根本就不应该出现,只是这是他老师长在电话里亲自交待的任务,由不得他不谨慎。 „Boy, you were free, did not have the freedom again.” “小子,你自由了,也再也没自由了。” Officer Ministry of Defense the expression took the document to go out of the office dignifiedly, Out General Miles walked, the sinking sound said. 国防部军官们表情凝重地拿着文件走出了办公室,迈尔斯上将门外走去,沉声说道。 In the entrance of presidential palace, General Miles leaves in advance, he unexpectedly is specially for the Xu Le matter, arrives at the capital special zone from the first military region station. 在总统官邸的门口,迈尔斯上将先行离开,他竟是专程为了许乐的事情,从第一军区驻地来到首都特区。 A Xu Le person stands by the presidential palace entrance lawn, looks up the sunlight of space, smells is cutting a grass pale light greenish blue to be fragrant newly, is somewhat perplexed. 许乐一个人站在总统官邸门口的草地旁,抬头望着天上的阳光,嗅着新剪草枝的淡淡青香,有些不明所以。 After the moment, he wins the medal of oneself chest place to admit the pocket, walks toward the official mansion, all around puts on secret service special agent of black formal dress, does not know that this young soldier, was six months ago in the s2 foundation building, harmed that terrorist of many colleague, after looked at two vigilantly, then gazed after him to leave. 片刻后,他摘下自己胸口处的勋章放进口袋,向官邸外面走去,四周穿着黑色正装的特勤局特工,并不知道这个年轻的军人,便是半年前在s2基金会大楼,伤害了很多同事的那名恐怖分子,警惕地看了两眼后,便目送他离开。 Oh, his back does not have the baggage, his body does not have the key, without the wallet, without the bankcard, his anything does not have, only has a medal. He stands in the entrance of presidential palace, people of communication does not know him, he does not know where oneself are going to go, because the money of being implicated subway does not have. 噢,他的后背没有行李,他的身上没有钥匙,没有钱包,没有银行卡,他什么都没有,只有一枚勋章。他站在总统官邸的门口,来往的人们都不认识他,他不知道自己将要到哪里去,因为连坐地铁的钱都没有。 Xu Le looks up the day, narrowed the eye to think a while, was finds the way first to relate Tai Zhiyuan or Zou Yu, was the issue must enter the official mansion, whereabouts Mr. President borrows a telephone? 许乐抬头看天,眯着眼睛想了一会儿,是想办法先联系邰之源还是邹郁,问题是难道自己还要走进官邸,去向总统先生借个电话？ Then at this time, a black automobile that does not have the symbol drove slowly, glass above is pasting the pass, making around the official mansion secure control personnel have no mood response. 便在这个时候,一辆没有标志的黑色汽车缓缓驶了过来,车窗上面贴着的通行证,让官邸四周的安控人员没有任何情绪反应。 The glass shakes down slowly, reveals Tai Zhiyuan that slightly white thin face, he said with a smile: „Inner ear?” 车窗缓缓摇下,露出邰之源那张微白瘦削的脸,他笑着说道:“迷路了？” „Un, a little.” Xu Le smiled happily, opened the vehicle door. “嗯,有点儿。”许乐开心地笑了起来,拉开了车门。 Tai Zhiyuan actually beckons with the hand, said: „You drive.” 邰之源却摆了摆手,说道:“你开车。” Xu Le is startled slightly, on the familiar driving position, was caressing lovingly the sense of touch perfect steering wheel gently, looks on the vehicle-borne computer the demonstration window of miniature radar, discovered that originally is own that car(riage). 许乐微微一怔,上了熟悉的驾驶位,轻轻抚摩着触觉完美的方向盘,看着车载电脑上微型雷达的显示窗口,才发现原来是自己的那辆车。 „Goes?” Today Tai Zhiyuan wears the military uniform, depends on the glass to ask. “去哪儿？”今天邰之源穿着军装,靠着车窗问道。 „I want to go home to have a look.” Xu Le started the automobile, simultaneously extended the hand, „I want first to telephone.” “我想回家看看。”许乐启动了汽车,同时将手伸了过去,“不过我想先打个电话。” Tai Zhiyuan has handed over the telephone, Xu Le dialed a familiar telephone number, after the stop moment, to the telephone was saying: „depressed Zi, I came out.” 邰之源递过电话,许乐拨通了一个熟悉的电话号码,停顿片刻后,对着电话说道:“郁子,我出来了。” Looked at the Tai Zhiyuan eye of out of the window to narrow the eyes slightly, as if sky over the blazing sunlight by capital was punctured under. 望着窗外的邰之源眼睛微微眯了一下,似乎被首都上空的炽烈阳光刺了下。 Xu Le has not cared about his response, was saying to telephone that side Zou Yu in a soft voice: „Very sorry, that hooligan was also being closed, but that side promises me to make contribution, perhaps before long, he will put.” 许乐没有在乎他的反应,对着电话那边的邹郁轻声说道:“很抱歉,那个流氓还被关着,不过那边答应我尽力,也许过不了多久,他就会放出来。” Finally he said very much earnestly: „Thanks.” 最后他很认真地说道:“谢谢。” The black automobile goes through in Highway 2, along with the slight electrical machinery neighing sound, the skylight opens, the sunlight and late spring warm braw passed, sprinkles in Xu Le and Tai Zhiyuan upper part, the spots, wind moves send the temple. 黑色的汽车穿行在二号高速公路上,伴随着轻微的电机嘶鸣声,天窗开启,阳光与深春的暖风透了进来,洒在许乐和邰之源的上半身,斑斑点点,风动发鬓。 „Wind blew, was easy to fall ill.” Tai Zhiyuan said. “风吹多了,容易生病。”邰之源说道。 „You stayed in the army were so long, hasn't the body compared before the strong point?” “你在部队呆了这么久,身体难道没比以前强点？” And has in the makings and face skin color of change from the Tai Zhiyuan military uniform slightly, Xu Le had guessed correctly that more than one year time, this fellow hid where. Xu Le has not cared about the Tai Zhiyuan status, by the federation in most people was presented that if the crown prince master of jade, is only his friend, is in the friend relations of comparison weak trend, because the body of this crown prince master is poor, in the past once fainted in his bosom. 从邰之源的军装和稍有改变的气质及面部肤色中,许乐早就猜到这一年多的时间,这家伙藏在了哪里。许乐从来没有在意过邰之源的身份,被联邦里绝大多数人奉若玉石的太子爷,只是他的朋友,还是朋友关系中比较弱势的那一个,因为这位太子爷的身体不怎么好,以往曾经昏倒在他的怀中。 „Unexpectedly was promoted to the major quickly, must know that I did was so meddlesome, now also is just a captain.” “居然这么快就升了少校,要知道我搞了这么多事儿,现在还只不过是个上尉。” „I endure in the military compound. In the customs handed down from past generation slope office, the epaulet of lieutenant colonel was ready for you, finally you actually ran s2 to play the person of exceptional bravery hero.” “我是在军营里打熬出来的。流风坡会所里,中校的肩章都为你预备好了,结果你却跑去了s2演孤胆英雄。” The light taunt, infiltrated from Tai Zhiyuan upper lip these soft and thick beards. He Xu Le is younger, but that wipes the emaciated shy feeling, already by clean that the Azure Dragon Mountain wind smoke swayed, remaining was tranquil and self-confident. 淡淡的嘲讽,从邰之源上唇那些茸茸的胡须里渗了出来。他比许乐的年龄小些,只是那抹孱弱的青涩感,早已经被青龙山的风烟吹拂的一干二净,剩下的只有平静与自信。 Xu Le selected the brow, said: „I never want to play the role of the hero, who knows that Medellin unexpectedly is the empire spy, I acknowledged, I am only a luck good fellow.” 许乐挑了挑眉头,说道:“我从来不想扮英雄,谁知道麦德林居然是帝国间谍,我承认,我只是运气太好的一个家伙。” He pulled out the medal to throw from coat product Daili. 他从上衣品袋里掏出勋章扔了过去。 Tai Zhiyuan is looking in the hand the sparkling purple Chen medal, sighed was saying: „Li Pifu looked like you such big time in the past, the chest also only hung two purple stars.” 邰之源着看手中闪闪发光的紫辰勋章,叹息着说道:“李匹夫当年像你这么大的时候,胸口也只挂了两枚紫星。” Xu Le smiles, without continue discuss that own matter, starts to inquire Tai Zhiyuan in more than one year the life of time in military compound, without seeing the blood, has been possible once to open fire, how the anti-terrorist exercise took first, you may once have other miss besides Bai Qi...... 许乐笑了笑,没有继续讨论自己的事情,开始询问邰之源这一年多时间在军营里的生活,没有见过血,可曾开过枪,反恐演习怎么就拿了第一,除了白琪你可曾还有别的姑娘…… In the black automobile, the joyful laughter resounds gradually, goes through in the free wind and sunlight, young people put behind these blood fires are dark, young people put behind position, before is very long in h1, is away from the aircraft interphone, is telling very fun matter. 黑色汽车里,愉悦的笑声渐渐响起,在自由的风与阳光中穿行,一个年轻人忘却了那些血火黑暗,一个年轻人忘却了身份地位,就像很久以前在h1里一样,隔着通话器,讲述着很好玩的事情。 ...... …… In the corridor corner, Xu Le fished out a key, opens the door of observation apartment. This is the first time that Tai Zhiyuan arrived at this apartment, he arrives on the sofa to sit down like the master directly, is sizing up the size and arrangement of room earnestly. 在楼道拐角处,许乐摸出了一把钥匙,打开了望都公寓的门。这是邰之源第一次来到这间公寓,他就像个主人一样径直走到沙发上坐下,认真地打量着房间的大小和布置。 The air circulation system of apartment has worked smoothly, although over six months has not been occupied by the person, still no dust and dirt. Before then Xu Le to Tai Zhiyuan but actually one cup of tea, arrived at the flat roof, looks the azure vine branches and leaves that these grew, showed a faint smile. 公寓的空气流通系统一直运转良好,虽然半年多没有住人,依然没有什么灰尘和污垢。许乐给邰之源倒了一杯茶,然后走到露台前,看着那些重新生长起来的青藤枝叶,微微一笑。 „After depressed Zi is pregnant, lives here?” Tai Zhiyuan puts down the teacup, suddenly opens the mouth to ask. “郁子怀孕之后,就住在这里？”邰之源放下茶杯,忽然开口问道。 „Un, June time, Zou Family met her.” Xu Le has not turned head, said: „That that I took a moment ago prepares for her the key, she always likes forgetting that the belt/bring key goes out.” “嗯,六月份的时候,邹家才把她接了回去。”许乐没有回头,说道:“刚才我拿的那把钥匙就是为她准备的,她总喜欢忘记带钥匙出门。” „Zou Liuhuo, I have looked, little fellow long good.” The Tai Zhiyuan sound at this moment like by the river bed that the water broke through, is somewhat rough, „you had said is not your, is that Shi Qinghai?” “邹流火,我去看过,小家伙长的不错。”邰之源的声音在此刻就像被水冲过的河床,有些粗糙,“你说过不是你的,那是施清海的？” Xu Le turns the head, said earnestly: „You and Zou Yu have no relations, is right?” 许乐转过头来,认真说道:“你和邹郁没有什么关系,对不对？” After Tai Zhiyuan silent moment smiles, said: „Truly...... did you speak to be politer to me? Although this time I have not helped your anything, Li Pifu settled on you bewilderedly, but...... I am have thought after all must make anything.” 邰之源沉默片刻后笑了笑,说道:“确实……不过你对我说话能不能客气一些？虽然这次我没有帮到你什么,李匹夫莫名其妙看中了你,但……我毕竟是想过要做些什么。” „Between you and wife fortunately?” “你和夫人之间还好吧？” „Quarrels, no major problem, I have not returned worries the back side of the mountain not, mother and child first temporarily calm.” “吵了一架,没有什么大问题,我没有回莫愁后山,母子二人先暂时冷静一下。” Wind light cloud Dan who Tai Zhiyuan said that superficial, Xu Le is actually moved incomparably, said and thanks the related words eventually embarrassedly. 邰之源说的风轻云淡,轻描淡写,许乐却是感动无比,终究是没好意思说出来与感谢有关的话。 The happy expression collects gradually, after retrieval freedom, must make anything, the federal military will arrange what duty to oneself, he can not need to consider, but he deeply has remembered something, somebody. 笑意渐渐敛去,重获自由之后要做什么,联邦军方会给自己安排什么任务,他可以不用考虑,但他一直深深记得某件事情,某个人。 „Can help me check individual?” “能帮我查个人吗？” „Who?” “谁？” „Bai Yulan.” “白玉兰。” After the moment, Tai Zhiyuan puts down the telephone, looks that he said slowly: „Your secretary in the capital, the clear water's seventh group member, holds the nuptial ceremony tonight.” 片刻后,邰之源放下电话,看着他缓缓说道:“你的秘书就在首都,白水第七小组一名成员,今晚举行结婚仪式。” Xu Le silent moment, entered the kitchen, starts to grind three high-pitched and fine corner blades carefully. 许乐沉默了片刻,走进了厨房,开始仔细地研磨一把三尖细棱刀。
