Chapter 2 The Commander
The majestic palace, the long stone road, the fat swallows and thin faces are beautiful, and the eunuch who walks with a gentle eyebrows and a low waist. This is the palace! It is the dream place of countless people and the place where countless people's dreams are broken!
If ordinary people come for the first time, they will definitely be shocked by the luxury of the palace. However, Ling Xiao has visited the Forbidden City a lot in his previous life, and he is really excited to face this palace with almost no difference.
"Oh! Look at who this is! Isn't this the descendant of the famous Baolong clan?" The voice was full of jokes, making people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.
Ling Xiao sighed and turned around helplessly and said, "What a coincidence, I will see you as soon as I enter the palace! It seems that my fortune this year is very poor. It's time to go back and worship the Bodhisattva!"
What came towards me was a strong boy wearing a guard costume holding a knife in his left hand, and a wooden waist sign hanging from the side swaying. His name was... Ling Xiao no longer remembers, or he had never asked. He only knew that this kid and he escaped from the training camp. The difference was that he succeeded and he was caught back.
"Yes, people cannot always be lucky. Even if they succeed at that time, they may cause disasters in the future." The young man's mouth grinned back, looking hideous.
Ling Xiao looked up and down at the boy's outfit again, "Look at this attitude, are you promoted?"
"Not bad! After countless hardships and tortures, I finally crawled out of that purgatory! In the future, I will rise step by step, and you are only worthy of licking the soles of my shoes!" The boy was indescribable, and when he talked about the tortures of suffering, a fleeting fear flashed in his eyes.
Ling Xiao sighed in his heart. He was also frightened by the purgatory. The boy was obviously a pitiful person driven crazy! But seeing that he was becoming more and more aggressive, he couldn't help but want to hit him.
"Yes! I don't have the ambitions of you, so we are just ordinary people. No, it's not a long-term solution to always encounter mental illness when going out. I have to ask Mrs. Cai to help me talk about marriage and joy!" Ling Xiao squeezed his nose and eyes at the boy, and he felt that he deserved a beating no matter how he looked at his expression. There was indeed a reason why the boy hated him.
The boy's face twitched and his whole body was trembling, and his hands were unconsciously held on the hilt of the knife. The atmosphere gradually condensed, and the battle of life and death seemed to be about to break out. But Ling Xiao didn't take it seriously and still looked at the boy with a smile, which made the boy's anger even worse.
"No noise is strictly prohibited in the palace."
The voice was not high but it contained a sense of majesty. The boy looked frightened when he heard the sound, and his hand on the hilt of the knife slipped down like weak.
The middle-aged man stood not far away, wearing a dazzling flying fish suit, a gold medal with a "jin" character on his waist, and a wooden box similar to a guqin behind him. He stood with his hands behind his back and was not angry and looked at the two of them quietly, but his plain eyes made the guard boy extremely frightened.
"I have met the commander! Congratulations to the commander for returning from completing the task!" The young man said with a kneeling on one knee, but Ling Xiao still looked at the middle-aged man with a smile, especially the wooden box behind him, and he paid more attention.
"Oh, it's commonplace, there's nothing to congratulate. You go and do it first." The middle-aged man replied casually.
"Yes! I'll leave!" The young guard left without mentioning it.
"Being able to come back alive is something worth celebrating, do you think so? Uncle Qinglong!" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The middle-aged man looked up and down Ling Xiao and said slowly: "You know that you can't get married as a Jinyiwei, but you still stimulate him so much, so why bother!"
"I just can't stand his villain's success, hum!"
"He has lost his true heart by blood and killing. If he does not reflect on himself, he will not have any future in his life!" The middle-aged Qinglong shook his head and made a conclusion.
"Who in this world has no worries! Every family has difficult sutras, and there are too many people who are miserable than him! If everyone becomes like him, there will not be so many stories of **silk counterattack in this world." Ling Xiao nodded and agreed with Qinglong's conclusion.
Qinglong looked at Ling Xiao with an attitude that he had known this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Although I don't understand what you mean, it sounds like some truth. Compared to him, we actually like you more!"
"Forget it, I can't bear your appreciation." Ling Xiao shook his head as if he was scared.
Qinglong didn't care and continued, "You were the oldest in the training camp. At first glance, you had no potential. Unexpectedly, you took the lead and used your belt to faint the guards to win three hours of escape for everyone! You are decisive in doing things, have a leader temperament, and are not afraid of power, but are a little soft-hearted when you take action. If you killed the guards at that time instead of letting him wake up to report the news, you can at least have at least one more day."
Ling Xiao hugged his chest and recalled carefully: "Oh! You said that matter! You will forget it if you don't mention it. If you kill the guards, you will irritate the Jinyiwei. After all, we are just a group of stupid children! Even if you run away, you may not care much, but if you anger, you will never stop! Who dares to underestimate the Jinyiwei's ability to catch people!"
Qinglong paused slightly when he heard this and looked at Ling Xiao deeply: "I regret it now. I shouldn't have let you go to the Dragon Clan at that time. With your ability, the next commander of the Jinyiwei may be you!"
"You will also say 'in the past'! My family knows my own affairs, maybe I can't hold on until the end of the training. Isn't this good now?" Ling Xiao was not sorry at all after hearing Qinglong's words, and continued with a smile: "Just you said, I am actually very soft-hearted. It is impossible for me to firmly perform various tasks without asking the right and wrong reasons!"
"When Ling Lingfa asked me for someone, I also considered this. You were free of nature and could be happier if you could follow Ling Ling Fa and be an ordinary person. But I didn't expect that Ling Ling Fa's status in the Baolong clan was already so low."
"Although the master has no martial arts skills, a man as cool as him is like a firefly in the night, as distinctive as the fireflies in the night, with melancholy eyes and sighing stubborn sluts, all of whom betray him deeply! Even if he is depressed and unsuccessful now, I believe that one day! When darkness comes, he will be the brightest light!"
Ling Xiao's words made Qinglong stunned. He, who had always been cold, couldn't help but laugh: "Where did you get the confidence?"
These words have almost become Ling Xiao’s catchphrase. Whenever people despise him and his master, they recite these words. Qinglong’s performance is considered to be well-educated among these people, but it is because he said too much that it has spread to Ling Lingfa’s ears, so Ling Lingfa is so close to him!
Of course, these words were not intended to please Ling Lingfa, but Ling Xiao really believed it in his heart! It was just that the time had not come.
Ling Xiao did not explain too much, but said, "It is a good thing to be confident, so people will live a happier life. As long as they do not hurt others, it will not hurt you."
The two of them didn't say anything, just looked at each other quietly. After a long time, Qinglong said: "This is the choice you made at the beginning, as long as you don't regret it yourself, it's worth it!"
Qinglong turned around and left quietly. Although his back was still majestic, Ling Xiao felt a sense of bleakness. No regrets! It was easy to say, how many people could do it?
"By the way, there is another thing. I know you treat Xuanwu as your own brother, but a few days ago, I saw him having a close relationship with Eunuch Jia's people." Ling Xiao suddenly shouted. Qinglong paused when he heard this but said nothing but left silently.
