Chapter 2046

"In the lonely place where the light can't touch, we welcome the destruction of the world with hands crisscross. When the sky is falling, we will accompany each other and celebrate that we have almost reached the end. Unfortunately, they will disappear. Everyone wants to rule the world."

As early as 1985, the British rock band tears for fear once sang, "everyone wants to rule the world."; Thirty years later, it seems that human greed and desire have never disappeared, and that kind of madness is staged over and over again.

In fact, it's more than 30 years? The long history of mankind seems to be a samsara, reborn in destruction, destroyed in rebirth, we are ultimately trapped in the same place, constantly repeating our own destiny: from tragedy to comedy, and then from comedy back to tragedy, unable to get rid of.

"Welcome to the world, and never look back. Even if we are sleepy, we still wear masks and refuse the call of survival instinct. Everyone wants to rule the world; It's my desire, it's my confession, it's driven by determination, it's driven by the pursuit of freedom and joy. There's no eternity in the world. Everyone wants to rule the world. "

Because too crazy and become absurd, because absurd and become sad, and then become helpless, become at a loss, and finally crazy again. Everyone is trapped in their own desire, draw a prison, little by little to suffocate themselves, but still stubbornly refused to resist.

"Can't stand indecision, trapped in shallow shortsightedness, everyone wants to rule the world."

But... How many people can really see through it? How many people can really get rid of it?

It's the same with lanli.

Pathetic, ridiculous, deplorable.

In the end, they are all trapped in the same place. They fight, fight, confront and exile. They kill the world by themselves. They think they have conquered the world, but they suddenly wake up at the end of the world. They are just a drop in the ocean.

What is he fighting for?

Lanli quietly looked at the rearview mirror. His tears had stopped, and his face was in a mess. But he didn't care at all. He just looked at the rearview mirror with some tears in his eyes. There was a twinkle of despair in his eyes. "Philip, is it just me from the beginning?"

He asked again.

The same problem hit Philip hard again. He tried to control his emotions, but his hands began to tremble slightly because of too much control.

At last, Philip released his hands holding the steering wheel, raised his chin slightly, looked calmly and straightforwardly in the rearview mirror, and met lanli's line of sight. He kept the usual manner of the past 50 years, calmly and calmly replied, "master lanli, I'm here."

A simple words, it seems that there is no power, but heavy pressure in Lan Li's chest, for a long time, for a long time did not make a sound, it seems that a century has passed, Lan Li quietly replied, "OK." It was just a word, but it seemed to consume all the energy in Lan Li's body. The tight shoulder line slowly drooped down, and the whole person slowly leaned back to the chair, so he closed his eyes slowly.

It seems, tired, but also finally at ease.

Looking at such a blue Li, Philip's eyes can not help but moist up, wandering around the edge of tears, struggling to suppress and then suppress, and finally managed to escape the collapse crisis; However, the sight on Lan Li's shoulder faded the seriousness and formality of the housekeeper, and became soft and warm quietly.

Lanli seemed to fall asleep, and the carriage fell into silence again. Philip did not worry, so quietly stick to his post, patiently feel the passage of time, quietly enjoy the golden sunshine on the Mississippi River, sparkling flowing.

At this moment, they just wasted a little time, just a little time.

"Philip, leave the hall house and come to my house." Lanli's voice sounded again in the carriage, calm and gentle. If it wasn't for the slight hoarse voice that exposed the truth, the calm tone could not detect what had just happened, and it seemed that everything had not changed.

"Good." Philip replied.

Lanli knew that Philip's dream was to stick to the position of housekeeper until the end of his life. Now, it's up to him to guard Philip.

"Give Matthew a call and help buy a house in London. I can't stay in Notting Hill every time I come back to London Lan Li continued to talk about his own arrangements and plans.

"Good." Philip replied again, but his eyes glanced at him again. He could detect the subtle difference in his voice.

In the past, although lanli always kept a certain space and made people unable to get close to him, he was always warm; Now lanli, however, revealed a trace of indifference in his voice. That kind of icy indifference pricked Philip sharply. He could not help but worry.

The purchase of a residence also means that Langley officially sounded the clarion call of counterattack: he will return to London, not as an occasional visit or business trip, but a high-profile strong return, just like the "count of Monte Cristo" described by Dumas, officially announcing that he is about to launch a counterattack.

This... Is not Langley. At least, Philip doesn't want Langley to turn out that way.

But Langley seems to be aware of Philip's concern - even if he still closed his eyes now, "they can't change me, and I won't change. However, some things, some decisions, I need to learn to move forward after all. Maybe I don't want to rule the world, but at least I can defend my persistence, no one can hurt me. They have made a choice, and then they have to bear the price. This is reincarnation. We are all puppets trapped on the wheel of fate, aren't we

Some people never know "enough is enough"; There are still some people who are always "pushing ahead".

"As for Hayes and Maya, if they are willing to help, it would be better. Arthur, Andre and Eaton all have a lot of projects to help; Besides, I also need help after buying a mansion. To be honest, the new aristocrats are not as rich as the aristocratic families, are they? " Even at this time, lanli is still joking about the new aristocracy, which is to describe his family after he set up his own house.

Hayes and Maya are Philip's children. They are older than Langley and have their own lives.

If Raleigh declares war on George and Elizabeth, they are both likely to be affected - and they are still at the forefront of the danger. Raleigh does not want such a situation to happen; However, lanli's expression is very considerate: it's not that he reaches out for help, but that he needs help.

"... good." Philip knew that there was no room for maneuver. He even began to think: should he turn around and leave, this is the best solution? Now things are getting worse. No one can predict where the future will go.

"Philip, do you think I should be honored?" In the quiet, Lan Li raised a question, the core question; However, his voice remained calm all the time, and he could not distinguish the specific emotions clearly, which made it impossible for people to speculate.

"No Philip replied calmly.

The corner of Lan Li's mouth rose gently and gave out a low smile, "why?"

"It doesn't mean anything to you. If you have to accept it, then you deserve better. " Philip regained the familiar look of housekeeper.

Langley asked curiously, "do you know what medal the royal family is going to give me?"

After all, hearsay is only hearsay, and internal hearsay can only know a rough list. Every year, the prime minister, cabinet and Ministry of Foreign Affairs who are responsible for nominating may spread some news more or less, but only a few top people can understand the Royal examination and the specific medal level. In other words, it's not hard to find out the list of awards. The ubiquitous paparazzi always find out the news early every time; However, only the party receiving the invitation can know the medal level.

Philip shook his head. "I don't know. But I'm sure you deserve better. After all, we are talking about the royal family now. "

Philip make complaints about the royal style. It is absolutely impossible to grant the young blue ceremony too high honor. Those "old-fashioned and pedantic" traditions are exactly what Philip himself is insisting on - but he treats Raleigh differently after all.

"Ha." Lan Li couldn't help laughing, but he didn't explain what medal he refused; Philip did not ask further.

The two people in the car did not continue to talk, and then Philip started the engine again. The car started slowly and joined the traffic again.

But did not drive out too far, behind came the siren of the police car, "Wuwuwuwu" sound very harsh, indicating that they pull over to stop. Philip drove the car out of the traffic and back to the shoulder of the road.

After a short wait, you can see two patrolmen coming and knocking on the window.

Philip rolled down the window and politely cast an inquiring look.

"Your driver's license and license, please." The patrolman said, with some uncertain hesitation in his voice. As Philip took out his ID card, he asked, "you just stopped by the side of the road for a very long time. What happened? Or is there something special? "

It seems that it's not that there is any violation, but that it's too abnormal, which has attracted the attention of the patrolmen.

"I'm a little tired, and I don't think it's appropriate to drive when I'm tired. So I took the initiative to stop on the side of the road and shut my eyes for a while to make sure that my fatigue dissipated. Then I started again." Philip, still polite, explained methodically.

There seems to be no flaw in this explanation.

However, the patrol still has some doubts, "sorry, please understand our work, I can ask, who is the passenger in the back seat?"
