LOG IN
Sterling led the look up and looked out the window. It was already dark and the lights were on fire. He was surprised to say to himself: "It turned out to be so late!" The documents handled by the hand were finished and handed over to the secretary. : "Tomorrow will be the commander."
The secretary had a lot of things to go to today. When I got up early, I first inspected the new camp of the Central Army on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. Then I negotiated with the head of the Logistics Department for equipment and food, and later came to the Central Army. The middle commander reported to him on the reorganization of the troops.
Sterling made specific instructions one by one. After returning to the office, I began to process the mountains of documents. When I finished it, I didn’t expect it to be dark.
Sterling came out of the office, and the guard standing at the door immediately saluted him and shouted: "Adult!"
Unlike other high-ranking officers who often ignore their heads and walk straight away – Sterling politely returns to the ceremony and says, “It’s hard!” – he saw it, the guards for a moment Touched look.
The carriage was waiting at the door of the military office. The driver jumped and walked quickly and smiled and said, "The adults are really hard. Are you going home now so late?"
Sterling hesitated and he didn't want to go home. He remembered that he had never seen Di Lin for a long time, and told the driver to say, "Go back yourself. I will go shopping."
"But, adults, my wife told me, I must pick you up..."
I was bored when I remembered this Sterling. Li Qing was so careless that Sterling had a breathless suffocation. He waved and said: "You go home and tell my wife, I went to the supervisor's house and told her not to wait for me to eat."
I heard that Sterling’s words had a hint of coziness. The driver didn’t dare to say anything more. He nodded and said, “Yes, yes, I went back to talk to my wife. Adult, don’t you send me in the past?”
"Well, go. I will go by myself."
The coachman looked at him and pretended to stop, and finally he said carefully: "Adult, according to me, if you want to walk to monitor the grown up, it is best to wear casual clothes or simply send me a carriage. It’s good in the past.”
Sterling looked at the flat, clean, dark blue woolen uniform on her body and wondered: "What about the military uniform?"
The servant hesitated, but he did not dare to speak. Sterling was impatient: "Well, you are going back." Was sent him away.
Around 8 o'clock in the evening, it is the big city nightlife just beginning, the most lively time of the day. The bustling streets, the bustling crowds pass by, the gorgeous decoration, the dazzling display of goods on both sides, the colorful decorations and street lights, the gorgeous and lively life of the big city.
Just freed from the heavy office work of the day, strolling on the most prosperous street in the capital, Sterling was not inspired by the spirit, feeling a kind of relaxation and joy that had never been seen before. He smiled and watched the lively scene around him, enjoying this rare ease.Suddenly, he felt a strange situation: there seemed to be a wave of malicious fluctuations in the air. When you walked by, the surrounding pedestrians were watching. - Being a senior general of the family, being noticed and eye-catching by others, for Sterling, that is commonplace. But this time it is slightly different. In the eyes of passers-by, the feeling of respect and worship that is common in the past is not very disgusting. It seems to be a bit disdainful and contemptuous.
Sterling was very uncomfortable and wondered: "What's wrong with this?" But it is not good to ask others.
When passing by a fruit shop, he remembered that Di Lin was the most loved banana, and went in and bought a bag. When he paid the money, he asked the boss casually.
The boss smiled like a smile: "Young people, you still have to take off your clothes."
"Ah!" Sterling remembered the coachman said the same w before, and quickly asked: "Why?" The boss smiled and did not answer. No matter how Sterling asks, he will never say it again.
Sterling sullenly came out, just less than a few steps, heard someone shouting: "Cough, be a soldier!"
Sterling heard the sound and turned to face something. He couldn't dodge it. The thing was lying on his chest. He slammed and his chest was wet.
Then came the second flight, Sterling flashed, the thing was not in the middle, hit the wall, and the "啪" was broken and the liquid splashed. Sterling saw it at this moment, and the one he used to lick himself was an egg.
He looked up and saw the troublemaker, a long, very young punk, just less than ten meters ahead, looking at himself proudly. Seeing Sterling's anger, he turned around and said to several of his companions: "Look at the soldier, a silly look!" Several hooligans screamed together "haha".
Sterling was angry and was thinking about teaching them in the past. The hooligan shouted: "When you are a soldier, you can't defend the motherland in the streets of the Imperial City! If you have time to go shopping, you can take the Far East back!"
As if suddenly hit by the lightning in the sky, Sterling suddenly froze. The rogue words, like a sharp knife, stabbed his heart. He lost the ability to move. The anger that had just filled the room has now disappeared without a trace, and the rest is only shameful.
The pedestrian passing by stopped and talked: "Exactly! What is this army?"
"Being defeated by the Mozu, running hard, even the weapons and flags are lost!"
"I lost the twenty-three provinces in the Far East and I have to pay for it!"
"It’s a shame to rely on our people to pay for their redemption!"
"You don't want to be awkward, but I also like to wear military uniforms to the streets!"
Sterling was pale and squatting like a cold. He couldn't say a word, didn't dare, and couldn't argue with the people in front of him. He pushed away the crowd in front of him and heard the shout from the crowd: "Look, that soldier wants to run!" "He doesn't dare to talk back to us.", "The coward!"
The world before us
The world began to turn around, and everyone who rushed to the front seemed to be yelling at himself: "The coward!"In the brain, a huge voice rang in resounding: "The army did not fulfill its responsibilities. The army failed the people. The army failed the country. Such troops and soldiers have become a shame!"
He ran into an alley and looked around without anyone. He quickly took off his uniform and only wore a white shirt inside, and found a pocket to put it in. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He only felt that the heart had a "flip" and jumped like a thief. Just like the thief had just fled the crime scene, the banana that he wanted to buy for Dilin was lost.
Now he understands why he did not see uniformed soldiers on the streets all the way. After thinking about it for a moment, he changed his direction.
The guard at the door came over respectfully: "Master Sterling, you please come in. The chief is waiting for you in the middle."
Sterling nodded, sorted out the clothes, strode into the office of the chief, and acted a military ceremony. Zichuan Shenxing stood up from behind the large desk and greeted him with a smile. "Sterling, you are here! Let's sit down."
Sterling thanked him for sitting down. Zichuan Shenxing smiled and said, "You often want to see me, you don't come in directly. How are you so grand today, let them inform them?"
Sterling fainted: "The lower official has neglected the etiquette in the past. Now I think of it, it is really uneasy. Moreover, the identity of the lower official has changed now, and naturally it can no longer be as casual as ever."
Zichuan Shenxing’s micro-thinking has already understood the meaning of Sterling: At that time, Sterling served as the deputy commander of the garrison, and naturally he could casually point to the status of the near-minister. But now he is already a heavy military officer with a heavy hand. In this capacity, if he does not admit it casually as in the past, I am afraid it will cause many suspicions and doubts.
Zichuan Shenxing sighs: "Sterling, you are still the same cautious! You don't have to care too much about the comments of the villains. No matter what your identity, I absolutely believe in you."
Sterling bowed her head and expressed her gratitude to His Highness. Zichuan Shenxing sighed in his heart, and Sterling was always cautious. Since returning from the Far East, he has become more and more cold and unsmiling. That painful experience made him change a lot. The calmness and seriousness are almost no more than the old people who have been through the world.
Zichuan Shenxing naturally knows that the reason for this, in addition to the failure of the Far East War, is that there is still an unforgettable emotional entanglement with the Devil Princess Kadan. Zichuan Shenxing hopes that he can solve this knot as soon as possible, but he also knows that this kind of thing can not be persuaded, and can only wait for the flow of time to slowly dilute the scar. After all, he is still young!
"Well, Sterling, then you are so late, are you looking for me?"
Sterling nodded. "Yes, there is a ruthlessness in the lower office. Please ask the general manager to approve it."
"Oh, what, let's talk.""The lower official knows that since the death of Ge Yingxing, the position of the Far East has been vacant, and no newcomers have been appointed. In this case, the ministers should not ask for non-subscription. However, the lower officials took the initiative to ask the chief grown up. Grace, give this position to the next officer."
Zichuan Shenxing is a bit surprised. He meditated and asked: "Stirling, can you know the weight and significance of the position of the Far East?"
"Yes. Because for a long time, in order to resist the intrusion of the Mozu, and to take all the defenses of the family's east defense line with a single legion, the Far East Army is the most responsible army among the family leg road regiments. But for this reason, historically, for this reason, The Far East Army is the most important army of the family. It has the widest jurisdiction and the most powerful commander. Therefore, the governors of the Far East have all been appointed by the Chief Minister to be the most confidant generals. The heavy responsibility is entrusted to me, and I will do my best to work hard and not pay the attention of my Highness."
Zichuan Shen Xing sighed and said: "Sterling, if it was a year ago, I would not hesitate to appoint you immediately. But now, the situation has been greatly different. The 23 provinces of the Far East have all fallen, now the Far East Army, At most, you can only manage the Warren Fortress. No matter from the authority or the strength of the mastery, this is far less important than the central command of the Arch of the Emperor. Besides, if the level and importance are the same, even the former Far East command position Why can't you compare it with you, why are you taking it lighter?"
"His Highness, I am very clear about these situations. Only the current Warren Fortress has become the front line of my Zichuan family and the Mozu. I am the most important fortress of my family's survival, but only Lin Bing is in charge. His Highness, A weak female flow, but to bear such a heavy responsibility, is worried, is this too heavy for Lin Bing? If there is any negligence, the Mozu army will drive straight up..." Sterling deliberately stopped The words.
Zichuan Shenxing suddenly stunned: Sterling said that it makes sense to entrust the fate of the whole country to a woman. Is it too risky? But he immediately woke up: Obviously, Sterling was deliberately alarmist. His purpose is not difficult to guess: in the city of Pai, surrounded by the Mozu, and finally can only rely on family compensation to save him back, he regards it as the biggest shame, eager to re-war with the Mozu. If you let him go, I am afraid that in less than three days after he took office, he will order the city to come out and fight with the Mozu. This is the real danger! In contrast, Lin Bing, who is experienced and patient, is much safer.
Zichuan Shenxing hit a haha: "Haha, Sterling, you are too small, Lin Bing! She is a student brought out by Ge Yingxing. It is another life and experience. You can rest assured, you said That kind of situation will not happen - or, do you think you are much better than her, look down on her?"
Sterling subconsciously humbly said: "The lower official certainly does not mean this..."
"Well, that's it!" Zichuan Shenxing quickly interrupted Sterling's words: "The defenders of Warren City are the old parts of the Far East Army.Lin Bing came with her, she is most familiar with the situation. It may not be good to change a newbie in the past. Besides, we can't live without you here! The formation of the new army and the reorganization of the Central Army, there are many things, how can you go? ”
"This one……"
"Sterling, I remember: You should still be in the new marriage now? How can you not accompany Li Qing?
It is not good for you to do this! After a few days of marriage, you will come over. Li Qing’s girl will swear at the back of my old man... Hahaha, remember, one month after the honeymoon is over, come back to work, not allowed in advance, this is the order... hahaha... ..."
In the hearty laughter of Zichuan Shenxing Hahaha, Sterling wandered out of the office. He sighed in disappointment, looking at the time, and still early.
