Chapter 86 It would be great if all were like you (1)
Chen Jing chewed on a piece of radish cake and asked, “Who made it?”
Ling Er, “…” He must be doing it on purpose! I brought it, why doesn’t he look at me?!
“My little brother.”
“…,” Chen Jing and Ling Er. She spoke like she really is his little brother.
“Seriously, what is your purpose? I don’t believe that Jiu Qiansui sent you here just to kill the enemy and do meritorious deeds,” Chen Jing said while looking at Zhao Zimu.
After all, his impression of Lin Qing was that of someone sinister and cunning. Moreover, he caused harm to the good officials and did all kinds of evil. In any case, he didn’t want to see Lin Qing harm those innocent military officers and soldiers.
General Pingxi is his father. He naturally knew how difficult it is for these soldiers to fight for Great Liang. Not only did they have to brave the danger of losing their heads at any time when killing the enemy to render a meritorious service, many times, they couldn’t even return home. Even if they have a lovable wife and children, they were unable to reunite with them. The happiness of ordinary people was often not fated with them.
Chen Jing will always remember that although his father is Great Liang’s general Pingxi, is the hero of Great Liang and able to support the heaven and earth, every year he said that he would come back to reunite with him and his mother, but he had never realized those words.
Since he was a child, he had learned to wait at the door of his house every year, waiting to see the figure his mother and him were looking forward to seeing. However, it was very rare that his wait was worth it. Even if other houses were ablaze with lights and full of cheers and laughter, their house was still cold and desolate as ever, because the master of their house was not there. When everyone was reuniting with their families, he still persevered to defend Great Liang’s frontier and resisted the Xiongnu. Due to that, he didn’t have the time to come back.
In addition to his father, there were thousands of soldiers like his father, who had sacrificed everything for the sake of Great Liang and to protect the safety of its people.
Therefore, Chen Jing didn’t hope that such a group of people who suffered for the sake of Great Liang to be exploited and tormented by another in addition to the suffering in the battlefield. Otherwise, how could there be a country? How could there be a home?
That was why Chen Jing insisted on asking questions. Besides, he is a member of the fifth prince’s fraction. He had to responsibility to help him ascertain the enemy’s purpose.
Zhao Zimu swept a glance at him and said calmly, “Kill the enemy, render a meritorious service.”
Chen Jing snorted and laughed, “Who will believe that?”
“I believe it!” Ling Er said immediately. No matter what her miss does, she would firmly support and believe her. She was absolutely true to her loyalty.
Chen Jing didn’t believe it. Zhao Zimu also didn’t need him to believe her. after eating the food and drinking the soup, Zhao Zimu sent Ling Er away and urged her to come less. Even if it doesn’t affect her, it would affect the other soldiers. It wasn’t beneficial to the strictness of the army.
After Ling Er left, another person came. Zhao Zimu couldn’t help but feel headache. One left, another came. Presumably, the soldiers of this troop of hundred developed the habit of watching her.
She silently glanced around once. The gazes around immediately flashed away like lightning. Some soldiers became so tight that their bodies were perfectly straight and showed an appearance of being more nervous than going to battle to kill the enemy.
Although the soldiers didn’t know who the man adorned in luxurious clothes and who came to look for brother Zhao from time to time was, but just from the aloofness, callousness and haughtiness that could let people shudder, they knew that the identity of that person was in no way simple. Moreover, someone who could come and go here freely, even if they think with their fingers, they knew that he was an existence that they couldn’t touch.
Hence, every time Lin Qing came, Zhao Zimu always felt that the surroundings seemed to instantly enter in a state of nervousness of before attacking the enemy…
Looking at the person standing outside of the tent with a cold face, Zhao Zimu felt that if she didn’t pull him in, presumably, the humans and animals within a hundred meters radius had to bear his intimidating aura.
Helplessly, she walked to the person and laughed bitterly, “Lower your head.”
Lin Qing looked at her confusedly, but he still did it. She glanced once at Yue Yi and the others who were following behind Lin Qing. They immediately understood and quickly lowered their heads.
Zhao Zimu was very satisfied with the performance of Yue Yi and the others. When Lin Qing lowered his head, Zhao Zimu got to his earlobe and pecked it lightly.
The warm touch from his earlobe instantly made Lin Qing’s face hot. A pair of narrow and long eyes looked quietly and gentle like water at Zhao Zimu. However, he had made up his mind to absolutely not leave it like that today!
Thinking about how she left him coldly at a side many times these days, he felt that the flame in his heart couldn’t be extinguished no matter what. He wanted to see what she would do if he insisted on not leaving.
Seeing that person staring at her stubbornly without moving, Zhao Zimu knew that if she didn’t think of a way today, then she doesn’t have to think about settling this matter in the future.
She sighed and said softly, “I’m coming back tonight.”
It could only be like this, otherwise, don’t mention about becoming a soldier, the soldiers in the camp would probably think that she was sent by a superior to inspect the military situation…
