Even if Xiao Nan doesn't take Long Ying in his eyes anymore, he has to give Xiao Cheng face.

The hidden door can have today's glory, and the old commander was indispensable to match it back then.

And he represents the country, no matter how strong the hidden door is, he can't show off his might in front of a state machine.

Even if the hidden gate is full of monsters that can destroy the world, but the country throws a bunch of missiles over, and the hidden door is still finished.

Xiao Nan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, since the old commander had come out, then this matter would naturally be handed over to the real inner door master of the Hidden Gate to deal with, so Xiao Nan ordered a retreat.

When all the people in the hidden door left, Xiao Cheng beckoned to Lin Qiu from afar: "Come here, I have something to say to you." ”

Lin Qiu nodded, strode towards Xiao Cheng, and the two of them walked straight towards the place where there was no one at the bottom of the mountain.

Yingzun clapped his hands at the dragon shadow: "Are you okay everyone?" ”

"It's okay, I can't die!" Everyone was unusually excited.

They saved the dragon shadow under the threat of the hidden door, and it deserves everyone's excitement.

Wu Gang walked over: "I hurt a lot of brothers, but the people in the hidden door are also measured, they are basically skin injuries, and it is good to recuperate." ”

Yingzun patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard this time, without you delaying the time, I'm afraid that kid ....."

Wu Gang said strangely: "Do you really don't know or fake don't know?" Does that kid still need my protection? ”

Ying Zun was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Wu Gang meant.

Wu Gang smiled: "You are really hiding deep enough, this kid is obviously a master." ”

Yingzun was just about to ask, but then Liu Ruyun interrupted: "Okay, carry the injured brothers down and treat them quickly." It's getting late, so let's get some rest. ”

Yingzun nodded hurriedly, and immediately ordered everyone to heal the sick and rest.

Soon, the huge square was left with Ying Zun and Cup Mo Stop and Liu Ruyun.

"Thank you both for making it in time." Ying Zun bowed to the two sincerely: "If it weren't for the two of them, I really don't know how to end up alone." ”

"You're welcome!" Liu Ruyun waved his hand: "What my master and nephew entrusted, even if you don't look for me, I will be obliged." ”

"I'm a retainer, and this is also my business, so don't say anything polite." Mu Mo said lightly.

Liu Ruyun sighed: "But if you alarm the old commander, it won't end so well." Once the state gets involved, if that kid can't come up with something practical, I'm afraid he won't be able to say it. ”

Ying Zun looked at the place where Lin Qiu and Xiao Cheng had disappeared: "I believe that he will not disappoint." ”

Xiao Cheng walked down the mountain step by step with a cane.

Lin Qiu silently followed behind him, and the two did not speak all the way.

Until he reached the mountainside, Xiao Cheng suddenly walked to a rock, stretched his waist and sat down.

Lin Qiu hurriedly stood in front of the old commander, I don't know why, in front of this old man, Lin Qiu was filled with a kind of awe in his heart.

"People are old, and they are useless." Xiao Cheng thumped his calf: "Ten years ago, I could still run back and forth on this mountain alone." Five years ago, I had to go. Now, it's hard to even go down the mountain, and it seems that the old brothers underground miss me and want to call me over to drink. ”

Lin Qiu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard it, he knew more or less about the deeds of some old commanders from Yingzun, and knew that he joined the army when he was more than ten years old, fought in the north and south, killed devils and bandits, and had more than a dozen gunshot wounds on his body, which was the kind of old revolution that really crawled out of the pile of dead.

The prosperity of the country today, and the stability and prosperity of the people as they are now, are all inseparable from the blood of pioneers like him.

It's just a pity that the years are not forgiving, the veterans are gradually withering, and there are not many left of the same era as Xiao Cheng.

"Chief...."Lin Qiu's voice was a little choked, as a soldier, he revered from the bottom of his bones the seniors who had dedicated their lives to the country like Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng smiled at him: "Boy, do you know why I rushed over?" ”

Lin Qiu shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

Xiao Cheng pointed at him: "Because I think you kid didn't disappoint Lao Tzu, not only did what he said, but also made his mother very relieved and made Lao Tzu very happy, so I came to protect you." ”

Lin Qiu puffed up his chest, he knew that Xiao Cheng was talking about the agreement between the two of them when they met last time.

He did what he promised that day.

Xiao Cheng held the stone with both hands: "Don't think that I came to protect you for the sake of your Uncle Lin's face." Yes, I admit it, this person is very important to me, more important than my son. But I've always been right about things and not about people. If you are a waste, even if your Uncle Lin kneels down and begs me, I will not protect you. ”

"Yes!" Lin Qiu yelled: "I didn't disgrace my uncle!" ”

Xiao Cheng nodded: "You really gave him a long face, that kid bragged to me back then, saying what will happen to you in the future." At the time, I didn't believe it, what can you do as a little kid? But Lao Tzu believes it now, that bastard's eyesight is always so accurate, and Lao Tzu has never won a bet with him! ”

Xiao Cheng snorted angrily, and then looked at Lin Qiu: "But the movement made by your kid is really not small, it's just a virtue with that bastard." Even if you come back safely, you actually came back with a missile that will explode at any time, you are really looking for trouble. ”

Lin Qiu gritted his teeth: "Chief, she is not a missile, she is my friend." If you feel embarrassed, I'll take her away...."

"!" Xiao Cheng roared: "Did I say that I was embarrassed? Lao Tzu said that if you want to protect you, then it is not only you, but also that girl. ”

"Chief....." Lin Qiu looked at Xiao Cheng with emotion.

Xiao Cheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't shed tears at every turn, the girls are chirping, Lao Tzu is most unaccustomed to this kind of bird!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Qiu puffed up his chest again.

Xiao Cheng snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu has long been unhappy with the hidden door, they have been out of the control of the state, the kid surnamed Long is too ambitious, and this country is not surnamed Long." It just so happens that through your incident, I want to let the chiefs know the dangers of the hidden door! ”

"However, the momentum of the hidden door is very strong at the moment. Moreover, the state also needs them. Xiao Cheng looked at Lin Qiu, his eyes full of provocation: "I just want to ask you, if you are asked to do something to prove that you are more important than the hidden door, do you dare?" ”

Lin Qiu didn't think about it: "Dare!" ”

Xiao Cheng: "Don't you ask what's going on?" Maybe it will let you go to Longtan Tiger's Den, or maybe you won't go back. ”

Lin Qiu hesitated: "If I do it, can I let my friend stay?" ”

Xiao Cheng paused, and suddenly laughed: "You kid, you are really affectionate and righteous." At this time, I don't think of myself, but I am still a friend! ”

Lin Qiu said seriously: "She is a friend I have known since I was a child, and everyone I knew at that time died, and only she is still alive." I promised her that I would show her freedom, and I couldn't break my word. ”

Xiao Cheng nodded: "Affection, righteousness and commitment, I like you more and more." Well, I promise you, as long as you can prove yourself, all the mistakes that that girl made before will be written off! ”

Lin Qiu straightened up excitedly and saluted Xiao Cheng vigorously: "Chief Xie!" ”
