Chapter 325 The choir’s hymn rises slowly, and the dilapidated Spanish church is quietly bathed in the warm sunshine.
The bell tower stands tall, and a silver-white cross is erected on the chapel. This is the only church in Laayoune. Apart from the city of Dakla in the south, it may also be the only church in the entire Western Sahara region. In
In the Spanish colonial era, this church was a noisy place where celebrities gathered. Now, with the departure of the Spanish, this church has returned to the calm it should have had.
The alley where the church is located is very narrow, and there are only a few pedestrians on the road. Palm trees are planted on both sides of the alley, and clusters of geraniums, with pink or red petals, bloom in the flower pond. The fragrance spreads to the surroundings with the sea breeze, filling the entire
The alley is made more solemn and quiet.
A group of white doves flew leisurely over the church. The snow-white elves glided past in changing postures in the orange sunshine. They flew over the city with cooing philosophical words in their mouths.
At that time, the whole city was peaceful and quiet, and the buildings, streets, and rivers all pricked up their ears, like saints listening to the Bible.
Under the leadership of Vanina, everyone walked slowly to the door of the church.
The iron door was closed tightly, and a white marble statue of Jesus stood quietly in front of the church. Jesus looked kind and approachable, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, looking at every pedestrian passing by the church with compassion.
Looking at the statue of Jesus, Ye Feng felt a ripple in his heart and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Killing and benevolence are always two incombinable opposites, and the difference in fate determines that they cannot replace each other. For individuals,
, no matter what kind of lifestyle you choose, you should still try your best to be yourself, and find the lost self and the meaning of life in the battle with setbacks and sufferings.
Ye Feng withdrew his gaze and looked up at the blue sky. Looking at the white doves flying in the sky, Ye Feng read a hint of comfort and calmness in their fluttering wings.
After calming down, Ye Feng turned around and looked at the Berbers, handed the camel reins to the middle-aged Berber, and said calmly, "Please help me inform Michelle and let her
Wait for me at the Orlando Café in Laayoune Beach. After I meet Pastor Valerio at the church, I will go to the Orlando Café to find her.”
The Berbers regarded Ye Feng as a god. After hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone immediately bowed and left.
Ye Feng followed Benina into the church. Although it was only a small church and its appearance was dilapidated, Ye Feng was shocked by the majestic momentum of the church's dome.
The hand-painted icon of Jesus looks down on all living things with his kind eyes, and beside him are the disciples who follow him. The sunlight passes through the small cross window on the roof and is dyed into different colors by the glaze of the multicolored glass, projecting like an oracle.
In the eyes of pilgrims who come from afar.
The church was empty and seemed extremely quiet. Pastor Valerio was preparing for morning mass in the chapel at the back. Vanina smiled and signaled Ye Feng to wait a moment, then quickly walked into the chapel.
A statue of the Virgin on the wall caught Ye Feng's attention. It was not an ordinary painting. It seemed to be made of cashmere or other materials. The Virgin in the painting had a peaceful expression and was wearing a turban, but there was a faint trace of North African people between her eyebrows.
temperament.
The blending of Eastern and Western cultures seems to have subtly entered the church.
Indistinctly, a faint sound of footsteps came from the church door. The footsteps were very weak, almost inaudible, but the visitor was moving extremely quickly. He passed through the rows of seats in the blink of an eye and rushed towards Ye Feng.
Come.
A faint fragrance floated up with the sound of footsteps. The fragrance was alluring and intoxicating. Then, as if blocked by an external force, the fragrance suddenly split into two and flowed from Ye Feng's body.
Floating slowly on both sides.
The person who came was a killer, or a beautiful female killer. A signature charming smile appeared on Ye Feng's face. This was the killer's intuition, coming from a strong sense of outstanding colleagues.
"Wolide, long time no see." Ye Feng flashed, took half a step to the side and back, and then turned around slowly.
Wolide struck the air with a palm, retracted her little hands angrily, put them on her waist, curled her lips, and said with dissatisfaction, "It's really boring, what can I do if I give someone a sneak attack?"
"That's not possible. Desert roses are covered with thorns. Once they are stung, they cannot escape." Ye Feng said with a smile.
Pfft, Wolid covered her small mouth and laughed. "You are right at all. I have fought with you so many times, but I still can't beat you. If I can succeed in the sneak attack this time, I will definitely beat you half to death."
The door leading to the chapel opened. A middle-aged man with a gentle and elegant appearance, wearing a black priest's robe and gold-rimmed glasses, came over.
"Hello, Mr. Ye, I am Pastor Valerio." Valerio stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Ye Feng, and then said. "Mr. Ye, you are in a very dangerous situation now. According to the information we have received,
Yesterday morning, Sania sent a special envoy to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and has reached a private agreement with the Moroccan government to support Morocco in continuing to control Western Sahara. In exchange, the Moroccan army stationed in Western Sahara will pursue you with all its strength. In addition, they
Soldiers of the French Parachute Regiment will also be allowed to carry weapons into the city of Laayoune."
"Mr. Ye, the cardinal asked me to tell you that he hopes you can stay in the church, and we will do our best to ensure your safety." Valerio said solemnly.
"Pastor Valerio, your information is a bit inaccurate. When we learned that the French envoy went to Rabat, we immediately contacted the Moroccan government. At three o'clock this morning, the Moroccan government had changed its mind.
No more cooperation with Sania." Wo Lid interjected.
"Miss, may I ask who you are?" Valerio said in confusion.
"I am Princess Emil's chief of guard." Wollid smiled and explained in detail. "Princess Emil, as the special envoy of the kings and grand mufti of the Middle East countries, flew to Rabat yesterday evening and finally persuaded
Convince the Moroccan government and make them change their minds and stop cooperating with Sarnia."
"Then why do the Moroccan garrison in Laayoune still post Mr. Ye's portrait in the city?" Valerio asked.
"This is all a conspiracy by that old fox in Sania." Wolide sighed and continued. "This time Sania made two preparations. On the one hand, it sent a special envoy to lobby the Moroccan government; on the other hand, it sent a special envoy to lobby the Moroccan government.
People went to Western Sahara to contact the senior generals of the Moroccan army. Sania spent a lot of money to bribe the generals of the local army, and now they simply do not listen to the orders of the Moroccan government."
"Oh, it's all because of money." Valerio stretched out his hand and made the sign of the cross, and said with a melancholy expression. "Western Sahara is already a poor place, and the local Moroccan garrison has not received military pay for a long time.
They now dare to resist the orders of the Moroccan government, and they must be driven by huge interests."
"Yes, the Moroccan government is also having a headache about this matter. The generals are outside, and the emperor's orders are not fulfilled, and they have nothing to do with the garrison in Western Sahara. Moreover, the situation in Western Sahara is very delicate now. If the Moroccan government forcibly removes the garrison generals,
It will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the local garrison, and may even cause a mutiny among the soldiers, making the situation in the entire Western Sahara even more difficult to control," Woled said.
"Well, the situation is getting more and more complicated now. I hope the Moroccan government can resolve the conflict between them and the Western Sahara garrison as soon as possible and stop bringing the flames of war to the people here." Valerio stretched out his hand and made the sign of the cross.
I prayed silently.
"Ye Feng, please leave here quickly. I rushed from Rabat to Laayoune overnight just to inform you that your current situation is too dangerous." Wo Lid said worriedly.
"Mr. Ye, I have already informed the Cardinal. He asked me to tell you that you must stay in the church. He has sent warships to the waters of Western Sahara. About evening, the warships will be able to reach the high seas. By then
A helicopter will be sent to pick you up at the church," Valerio said.
Ye Feng did not expect that a sandstorm would trigger so many changes. However, Ye Feng had no intention of staying in Laayoune City. When he learned that there would be sandstorms in the Western Sahara Desert in the near future,
, the plan was temporarily changed, and Laayoune City was just a transit point in this plan.
"I have decided to leave Laayoune City. I don't want to bring war to the people here because of my arrival." Ye Feng looked down at the cross hanging on his chest and said lightly. "Valerio
Pastor, thank you for your kindness, and thank the Cardinal for me. I will solve my problems myself, and I have also made an action plan and will not make any changes. Please also inform the Cardinal.
, let him order the warship to return to Italy, so there is no need to come here to pick me up."
When one country sends a warship to the waters of another country, even though it only docks in the nearby high seas, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of that country, and may even cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries. It can be said that the cardinal did it for Ye
The safety of the wind has begun to sink the boat.
Valerio didn't expect Ye Feng to reject the cardinal's kindness without appreciation. He couldn't help but sigh, and then comforted him. "Mr. Ye, you have to think twice. The situation outside is really too dangerous."
Woliide was not as worried as Valerio. There was a flash of excitement in her eyes and she said with a smile. "Ye Feng, are you planning to fight to the death with the French Paratroopers?"
"Yes, there are also the Danish Swordfish Commandos and the defeated soldiers of the Silver Hand." Ye Feng laughed and said lightly. "This is something that must be solved sooner or later. I don't want to be satisfied by them."
Hunted all over the world."
To fight against thousands of armies with his own strength. Valerio was extremely shocked and stared at Ye Feng as if he was looking at an alien. "This, this, how is this possible?"
"It's okay if he says he can. There is nothing in this world that he can't do." Wo Li De let out a sweet smile, reached out to hold Ye Feng's arm, and said half begging and half coquettishly. "Ye Feng, take me.
How about we go play together?"
The beautiful piano melody sounded, and the choir sang hymns softly in the chapel.
Praise my heavenly Father for sending his beloved Son into this world to die for sinners. Hallelujah, glory to the Lord, Hallelujah, Amen. Hallelujah, glory to the Lord, the Lord has made me
Resurrection.
Bernina came over, stretched out her hand and made the sign of the cross, and said, "Pastor Valerio, the mass has begun and the believers are waiting for you."
At this moment, amid the melodious hymns, there was a faint sound of noisy footsteps.
Ye Feng frowned, looked up at the icon of Jesus on the dome of the church, and smiled bitterly in his heart. These lingering pursuers actually chased me into the church. A battle is inevitable. I hope the Holy Spirit can forgive my sins.
Ye Feng reached out and patted Valerio on the shoulder and said decisively. "Pastor Valerio, go ahead and do your work. I have made up my mind."
Valerio sighed, took the Bible from Vanina, and handed it to Ye Feng. "The original owner bless you."
Valerio and Vanina walked into the chapel at the back, and the church fell silent again. The choir sang softly, echoing in the church, melodious and solemn.
Praise the Lord Jesus, because He came down from heaven, endured persecution and humiliation, and was crucified on the cross. Hallelujah, glory to the Lord, Hallelujah, Amen. Hallelujah, glory to the Lord, the Lord has raised me up.
