Section 7: Parting

"Oh, where did you hear that?" Shikawa Xiu was shocked, looking frightened that the secret had been revealed.

"My lord, don't pretend, we inquired with Miss Zichuan Ning very clearly: you are the fifth disciple of His Excellency King Zuo Jiaming, the number one master of mankind, and you have obtained his full true inheritance, jīng Tong Ripple Divine Skill, Lightning Knife, Thunderbolt Foot, Iron Head Skill, Dugu Nine Swords, Rulai Divine Palm, Sunflower Treasure Book, Divine Turtle Shockwave, Super Saiyan Three Generations - in short, it is powerful, I don't have to say it!"

"Alas, didn't I already tell A-Ning not to go outside and talk nonsense......" -- Zichuan Xiushen knows that women are like children, and if you want her to help you spread a certain news, the best way is to tell her a few more times: "Don't say it!" -- Sure enough, the effect was immediate: less than the next day, Roger and the three of them came with a sinister smile. -- And in the process of spreading, the rumors will automatically multiply, becoming more and more vivid, and finally stereotyped: "Zichuan Xiu is the personal disciple of King Zuo Jiaming!"

"Alas, now that the matter has come to this, I have no choice but to admit it: Yes, I am the fifth disciple of King Zuo Jiaming!"

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured, we will keep your mouth shut......!

"Oh, that's right: you three want to learn martial arts from me!" Zi Chuanxiu suddenly realized.

The three of them nodded like chickens eating rice.

"You know, it's hard..."

Shirakawa took out a large stack of tickets, and Roger moved out a large pile of sè magazines - Zichuan Xiu sighed and said, "You guys are always like this, what can I do?"

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I will teach you the deepest martial arts of our Zuojia Sect!"

※※※

Two days later, in the Xiuzi Camp station, the three flags were exchanging their learning experiences.

Bai Chuan recited the inner strength of the heart first, word by word: "What about the horn!"

Roger: "What is this? Shall I coax you?"

Changchuan: "You are stupid! This is the five-character mantra of Buddhism!"

Shirakawa went on to read: "The fighters are all arrayed in front!"

Roger: "What is?"

Changchuan: "This is the nine-character mantra of Taoism. He exclaimed: "Chief Ah Xiu is really knowledgeable, and he has combined the heads of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism!"

Shirakawa sang: "Three circles on the left and three circles on the right, twist your neck, twist your buttocks, get up in the morning and do exercise!"

Roger twisted his head towards Changchuan: "What is this?"

Nagawa: "Don't ask me!"

Shirakawa sang: "Ali, Alibaba, Alibaba is a happy youth!"

Roger: "........."

Nagawa: "........."

"You are like that, a fire...... Sinking into the abyss and lying in the sea, love is a kind of faith, bring you back to me...... Dantian is like a furnace...... Young people disappear into the birch forest......

Qi walks the eight veins, and the limbs are vigorous...... The green dragon sinks into the abyss, and the white tiger gathers at the top...... All are at ease, only enlightened...... I love Lafon...... Anerle, meticulous and considerate......

It seems to be moving and still, and it is subtle to see, but there is nowhere to be found...... Sincerity forever, we have been working hard...... Because of love, so love, thank you for your love, love you for 10,000 years...... To the masculine and the strong, the evil demons subside!ha!"

At the end of the reading, Shirakawa struck out with a palm, and with a "bang", a big hole appeared in the wall.

Roger was dumbfounded: "It's actually useful!

Bai Chuan said indignantly: "That idiot! I have to recite the mantra every time I make a palm, and I will die of trouble! There is no more tricky martial art than this!"

"Who said no!" Roger and Changchuan retorted in unison, as if they were about to cry: "Compared to ours, you are pretty good!"

※※※

Li Qing, an internal affairs officer of the Command Office, saw Roger Qiben at the first glance when he stepped into the Xiuzi Battalion's station: he was squatting like a toad, his mouth wide open in the face of the rising sun, and he muttered as if he was reciting some mantra: "I am a stupid donkey... I'm a stupid donkey...... I'm a stupid donkey......"

"Roger, what are you doing?"

“...... I'm a stupid donkey, don't interfere with me: I'm practicing and absorbing the sun's vitality...... I'm a stupid donkey... If you practice it, you can be invincible in the world!"

Li Qing stuck out his tongue: "Then may I ask, where is your chief Xiuchuan?"

“...... I'm a stupid donkey... Go in the gate and turn right, I'm a stupid donkey...... There is a photo of a **woman posted at the door!"

"Thank you. Li Qing thanked him and walked inside, only to hear Roger behind him raise his breath, and a loud shout spread to Jiuli: "I'm a stupid donkey!"

"Got it! I don't need to say it so many times!" Li Qingtou didn't reply.

※※※

"Changchuan Qiben, what are you doing here? Lying on all fours, his tongue sticking out and panting, one foot is still cocked on the telephone pole, it looks like a... A ...... What a fowler!"

Nagawa Sven's face turned red, and he quickly got up from the ground: "Oh, this is the most popular natural treatment at the moment!"

At this time, Shirakawa walked by, his eyes did not squint, and there were words in his mouth: "Eat grapes without spitting out grape skins, and spit out grape skins without eating grapes... One is one, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty! Don't say one as ten, and don't say ten as one ......."

The two looked at Bai Chuan stupidly as he walked away as he spoke, and Chang Chuan smiled awkwardly: "Bai Chuan is going to change his career to cross talk recently." ”

※※※

Zi Chuanxiu saw Li Qing come in and warmly got up to greet him. Because Li Qing is Zi Chuanning's handkerchief, everyone's friendship has always been good.

As soon as they met, Li Qing said, "Ah Xiu, when did the Xiuzi Camp change to the Jīng Divine Hospital?"

Zichuan Xiu: "Where is such a thing?--at least I'm normal!"

Li Qing's expression seemed to be smiling: "The person who was reading there with a sè love magazine early in the morning dared to say that he was normal!?"

Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly stuffed the "Tibetan Chūn Pavilion" under his buttocks, and coughed dryly: "Li Hongyi Qiben is here, what advice do you have?"

Li Qing put away his smile: "Your Excellency Zichuan Xiu, I am here on the order of the Command Office, please gather my subordinates and let me read out the order of the Command Office...... Hey, why did you snatch my order, don't dismantle, don't dismantle...... Alas!" she complained: "I am the minister of the Imperial Mission, and you have made me very shameless like this!"

"The 'Xiuzi Battalion' immediately set off for the Golen Fortress and waited for Fang Jin's command. Strange, didn't it mean that the newly recruited militia had a month to train? We had only two weeks! And we had not been given any equipment or anything, and a few squadrons did not even have tents for wintering. ”

This is the meaning of the President's Excellency, the ostensible reason is that the war in the Far East is tight, and he should hurry up to support Stirling, but the actual reason is that the young commander of the Dìdū Ministry of Governance revealed the meaning of the deputy commander, and he ran to Luo Minghai crying and said:

"Xiuzi camp" 一rì不除,dìdū一rì不resting. 'Get rid of those brutes!—Ah Xiu, do you know what the people of Dìdū say about your troops?"

Zichuan Xiu said solemnly: "The people of Dìdū watched the mighty army of the Xiuzi Battalion pass by, and one by one they let out a heartfelt sigh: "Mighty and majestic, the army of justice - it is really worthy of the soldiers led by His Excellency Xiuchuan, with strict discipline and unparalleled discipline!!"

Li Qing smiled: "You can really break blindly! You know that what everyone is talking about now is: 'dìdū three evils: flies, rats, and Xiuzi camp!'"

Li Qing got up and said goodbye: "Okay, that's it." If there's anything that hasn't been done, deal with it quickly. If you don't have all the equipment, you can come to me - you know, in order to get you away, the logistics department will do whatever it takes, and you can take advantage of this time to extort more oil and water from them. ”

"One more thing: I have a letter for Sterling, you are going to the Far East, take it for me. ”

Zi Chuanxiu's heart was shocked, he had always known that the person Sterling loved was Princess Cardin, and if he didn't mention it, he would forget that Li Qing was Sterling's fiancée in terms of name.

"Remember, I'll give it to him myself!"

He silently took the letter: "Okay. But I sighed in my heart: women are really ignorant, thinking that going to the Far East is like going to their own backyard. But they didn't know that the Far East battlefield was nearly a million kilometers in circumference, and Stirling's troops were floating, how could such a vast area guarantee that they could see Stirling?

He escorted her to the gate of the station. Li Qing turned around, stared at him deeply, and said meaningfully: "For A-Ning, take care of yourself." ”

Zi Chuanxiu's heart was shocked, but he didn't show his voice: "Yes, for the sake of the next generation of the head of the family, you should really take care of yourself." ”

Li Qingxiu frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with his words, but she didn't say anything and turned to leave.

※※※

"Brother, are you back?" Zi Chuanning felt a special joy at his sudden appearance, "You bought flowers and came back...... Wow, brother, you're so good! I thought you didn't remember someone's eighteen-year-old birth!"

Today is Zi Chuan Ning's birth! Zi Chuan Xiu was startled: he bought flowers purely to prepare for the conversation with Zi Chuan Ning, but he didn't expect that the crooked fight was right, and today it was still Zi Chuan Ning's birth. Seeing Zi Chuanning holding a bouquet of flowers with great joy, he was speechless: Do you want to have that kind of conversation with Zi Chuanning at this time?

Cardin came out of the room: "Let me see...... How can anyone still give a flower as a living gift?"

"Ah, really! My brother is always confused, really!" Although Zi Chuanning was complaining, her expression was very intoxicated: as long as Zi Chuanxiu could remember her life, she would be very happy even if she picked grass on the side of the road.

Roger, Shirakawa, and Nagagawa all came to today's party—they said, "We are here for friendship and blessings!" but Shirokawa saw through them at a glance that they were here for a delicious meal that didn't cost money. Bai Chuan sent a music box, and Roger and Changchuan, two "stinky men who are so poor at the end of the month", teamed up to send a pack of melon seeds.

Zi Chuanning was in a good mood, and she sincerely thanked her no matter what she received. Zi Chuanxiu knows that she is from a wealthy family, and she usually has high taste, and there are few things that are eye-catching.

The wine and food are very rich, and a few local buns from the Far East are eye-opening. Cardin smiled and said, "It's all in time for our previous court banquets." ”

During the meal, Zi Chuanning toasted Zi Chuanxiu and wished Brother Axiu "a victorious start and a safe return" - Zi Chuanxiu only then knew that Li Qing had informed Zi Chuanning of his going on an expedition - Zi Chuanxiu silently drained the wine, accompanied by everyone, and even Cardin and Bai Chuan, who usually don't drink alcohol, drank so much that they blushed.

Everyone was in a good mood. Roger specially picked those beautiful ladies to toast, once mentioning yì to toast to Stirling in the Far East, once to toast to the family's early rebellion, and less than three minutes to toast to the safe return of the expeditionary personnel, so attentive that Zi Chuanxiu doubted his motives: did he want to pour the ladies into the water and fish for something...... Then he was relieved: Impossible, Roger is too stupid to think of this way, if it is Changchuan, it will be very suspicious.

The topic of discussion is always inseparable from the war in the Far East, and Zi Chuanning was able to know a lot of news about the Far East because of Li Qing's friend. For example, the General Headquarters intends to establish a unified command in the Far Eastern Theater, but it has not been possible to determine the person for the supreme command. Judging from the record, the command office and the chief are very fond of Sterling, but Sterling's qualifications as a commander are too shallow, and if he is the commander-in-chief, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the old fritter Minghui at the same level as him, if you want to find someone above the level of Sterling and Minghui, only the president is suitable for Luo Minghai.

Speaking of this, several family officers laughed: Luo Minghai is famous for not understanding military affairs. Changchuan told everyone a joke about Luo Minghai: once he went to command the battle, and saw that the cavalry of the Liufeng family was about to rush into the headquarters, Luo Minghai still sat still and didn't say a word. Seeing that the commander was so calm and confident, his subordinates were emboldened and repelled the enemy's attack in one go. When everyone cheered "Long live", Luo Minghai secretly pulled a soldier to ask: "Did we win or lose?" The joke was not very funny, but everyone couldn't laugh.

※※※

Cardin secretly pulled his sleeve, and Zichuan Xiu walked out into the corridor knowingly. Cardin handed a letter to Shikawa Shu:

"Please give it to him for me......" This "he" refers to Sterling.

Zichuan Xiu Muran nodded and took it, sighing in his heart, but he made up his mind: "Can you help me call A-Ning out?"

Cardin looked at him ambiguously and quipped, "Ah, I'm going to whisper! Okay, I'll call for you." ”

After a while, Zi Chuanning came out: "Brother, what's so mysterious?" I don't know if it's because of drinking or something else, her face is flushed.

Zichuan Xiu smiled and didn't answer: "Wait a minute." With his backhand, he drew his saber and threw it at the door of the hallway, and the knife effortlessly pierced the door panel, and the screams of Roger and Nagagawa were heard behind the door.

Only then did Zi Chuanning realize that they were eavesdropping, and bent over with laughter.

※※※

Zi Chuan Xiu checked the surroundings with his inner breath again, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Taking a deep breath, the conversation that followed was courageous.

The night sky is clear, and the sky is full of stars, as if countless curious eyes are peeking into the world. The refreshing night breeze blows, making the drunk feel sober for a while.

"Brother, I don't think you're very happy tonight, and you don't talk much. Zi Chuanning's tone was much more sober.

Zi Chuanxiu said slowly: "A-Ning, I still remember, you were afraid of the dark when you were a child, and you loved to cry, and your tears always flowed, when your father Yuanxing was leaving, he told me to take care of you, but your brother is unproductive, and he asked you to take care of it several times." ”

"Brother, how can we say such things to our own people? You have been secretly protecting me, how could I not know? That year, dìdū rioted, my father was not at home, the fierce and vicious rebels rushed into the governor's mansion, the guards were scared away, I was so frightened that I cried in bed, you are only eight years old, holding a sword and guarding my bed all night - I still remember, peeking out from the bed, your figure is so powerful!"

Zi Chuanxiu touched his head and said, "Don't mention it, when I saw the first person to walk into your room, I slashed it with an "ah" sword, and as a result, I kicked it out like a gourd - it turned out that your father came back, and I lay down for a week. ”

Zichuan Ninggege smiled and said, "But I think your rolling posture is also very handsome!"

Recalling that past, both of them sighed with emotion. Zi Chuanxiu smiled and said, "In a blink of an eye, the little girl with snot back then is already so old. I've finally lived up to the trust of Lord Farstar. - A-Ning, let's be good brothers and sisters for the rest of our lives, okay?"

Zi Chuanning's eyes widened: "We have always been good brothers and sisters!"

Zi Chuanning didn't understand what he meant, Zi Chuanxiu had to sigh and say from a different angle: "A-Ning, I'm going to the Far East in two days, and it may take a long time." ”

Zi Chuanning said calmly: "No matter how long you go, I'll wait for you." ”

Zichuan Xiu stubbornly said: "It's also possible that you won't be able to come back." ”

The girl's eyes were as bright as stars, staring at Zi Chuanxiu's handsome face: "No, I'll wait for you." ”

Zi Chuanxiu was so desperate that she almost committed suicide: why was she so dull! He hesitated and said: "Well, we are good brothers and sisters, of course you are waiting for me! It's just that when you are waiting for someone, you can do something else, such as ......."

Zi Chuanning looked at him inexplicably, and he had the impression that this chic and free brother had never had such a gaffe.

Zichuan Xiu mustered up his courage: "For example, go out and walk more and get to know some boys of the same age." I've found that you don't seem to have any friends who are not different, which is not normal for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. ”

Zi Chuan Ning was surprised and said, "I have a lot of friends who are different, like Big Brother Sterling, Roger, and Changchuan, they all play well with me." ”

Zichuan Xiu couldn't cry or laugh: "I don't mean that anyone who is different is considered a friend...... Oh no, I mean that friends who aren't heterogeneous are all "friends". ”

He racked his brain to come up with a good example: "That kind of 'friend' is, for example, like the dog man and woman of Cardin and Sterling." ”

Zi Chuanning's eyes widened: "That kind of "friend"?"

Shikawa Xiu affirmed: "That kind of "friend"!"

"You told me to find one of those "friends?!!"

Shikawa Xiu lowered his head and was silent.

Cardin looked at him steadily, without saying a word, his eyes gradually sparkling, and his indescribable expression, as if he was about to cry, his slender body began to tremble.

Zichuan Xiu pretended not to see it, he suddenly became interested in the roses in the garden, turned around and lowered his head to study carefully.

The stalemate of silence seems to be able to continue until the end of the universe. Just when Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but turn around, footsteps sounded behind him, and gradually faded away.

There is also his first love with Zi Chuanning.

He turned around, and in the darkness, the white skirt was fading away, and he suddenly remembered a word that could describe the girl's expression before leaving: poignant.

He laughed self-deprecatingly: Zichuan Xiu, you are a villain, you deserve to go to hell.

Looking up at the sky, in the bright starlight in the distance, there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching him.

A pair of majestic eyes, the passage of time has not weakened the power of these eyes on Zi Chuanxiu, and a thunderous roar seems to sound in his ears again: "Lin He, know your identity!

The corners of Zichuan Xiu's mouth twitched: Yes, I know very well. I also know that the surname Zichuan is just a layer of gold plated on my body, and when I touch it a little, I can see the cold brass inside. No matter how you say "treat it as your own", for the surname Zichuan, I am always an outsider.

Otherwise, why, seeing that I have a good relationship with Zi Chuanning, you immediately sent me, who was only nine years old, to the Far East Military Academy? If I really had a family lineage, would Yang Minghua dare to arrest me without asking for my life? With my own talent, how could the position of the head of the family be occupied by Zichuan Shenxing?

Gilding is never real gold!Lord Yuanxing, is this the result you want to see?

Starlight suddenly became like a girl's tearful eyes again: I'm sorry, A-Ning. Today is your eighteenth birthday, and you will begin the most beautiful time in a woman's life, how many years can a woman be beautiful in her life? I don't want you to waste such precious years in needless waiting.

Goodbye, Anin, forgive my hard-heartedness. When your vision is no longer limited by my figure, you will find that there are better men in the world, worthy of your love; when one day, you really succeed the president, you will understand my painstaking efforts; when one day, you and your beloved enter the wedding hall, I will bless you in a distant place, at that time, will you still think about the person you once liked?

It is not for the sake of the promise of Lord Yuanxing's sickbed, I will be in a distant place, silently watching your figure, just waiting for your first call, I will appear, no matter the mountains and rivers.

O girl I love, may you never grow old and die, happy and beautiful.

And I will always guard you, and I will die without regrets.

※※※

The 8,000 officers and men of the "Xiuzi Battalion" set out in the middle of the night to open up the Far Eastern battlefield. Zi Chuanxiu didn't wake up Zi Chuanning when he left, but left the room and board expenses and room keys for more than a year on the table in the living room, and quietly left Zi Chuanning's manor.

Looking back, Zi Chuanning's room was pitch black. He sighed, galloped his horse, and left the place where he had lived for more than a year, but he did not notice that in the dark room, the curtains had been secretly pulled apart, and a pair of bright eyes followed his straight back, until his dark blue officer uniform gradually drowned in the line of light brown soldiers.

Zi Chuan Ning prayed softly: "God, my eighteen-year-old wish is: Please bless Brother Zi Chuan Xiu with safety." ”

Tears rained down.
