New calendar 2020, early July
In a dark room, only a small dim lamp remained.
The night wind gently blew through the curtains, and there seemed to be a dead silence in the dimly lit room.
“Ding.” The closed door was pushed open by someone.
Refracted by the light, a pair of shiny military boots walked across the slightly aged floor.
The person who entered the door stood in front of the mirror and took off his sweat-soaked coat while looking out of the corner of his eye.
One piece of clothing was taken off, and in the end there was only a strange looking white strip wrapped around his chest.
Xiao Jing: The fourth son of the Xiao family, one of the three great families in the empire, and his mother was the third wife of Marshal Xiao.
The Xiao family had produced five marshals and several generals from generation to generation. Their family had a great career and commanded a quarter of the empire’s army.
Against such a background, an unwritten rule emerged secretly, that was: The Xiao family could have no daughters!
Indeed, the Xiao family could only produce generals, only generals!
Xiao Jing smiled wryly and removed the white strip from her chest, and the nerves that had been tense for a day were slowly relieved.
It was just that the chest that was slightly flat a moment ago had a slight curvature at this moment. Was this a woman?
The corner of Xiao Jing’s mouth couldn’t help spreading with a little wry smile again. She especially remembered her mother’s strict instructions before joining the army:
“Xiao Jing, mother doesn’t expect you to make great achievements, as long as you can spend these five years safely. No matter what, you should always remember, you are not a man.”
Yes, how could she forget that she was not a man.
“Xiao Jing, I know you blame me and are annoyed by me, but mother has no other choice. In the eyes of Mrs. Tai, she only recognizes her grandsons!”
Yes, in the eyes of the most supreme Mrs. Tai in the family, there were only her grandsons.
Her eldest brother Xiao Yu, the head of the eight great generals of the empire.
The second brother, Xiao Hong, was the vice president of the Supreme Staff of the Empire.
The third brother, Xiao Zheng, was the chief executive officer of the third team of the Imperial Special Forces.
The fifth brother, Xiao Ye, she had heard that he had just been promoted to the youngest general in the empire.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing had to scratch the back of her head, it seemed that she was the worst in the huge Xiao family, she had been in the army for three years, and she was only a small second lieutenant.
Putting down the white note, she just lay down on the wooden bed like this.
The light in the room was too dim, and the moonlight fell quietly on the ground. This was a border town in Ghana, three thousand kilometers away from the imperial capital, and it was also the border where her mother sent her to privately. As a waste of the Xiao family, it couldn’t be found out that she was not a man.
In the dead of night…
The next day, hurried footsteps came from far to near in the corridor, and then knocked on the door of the last room without hesitation.
Xiao Jing opened her eyes in a daze, and was suddenly awakened, then her mind went blank for a moment.
“Deputy team leader, someone is here, are you up yet?” The person shouted hastily.
Xiao Jing got up from the bed almost subconsciously. Looking at the locked door, she put on her clothes as if swallowing a jujube whole.
“Crack.” The door was opened from the inside.
Seeing Xiao Jing open the door, the soldier outside the door took a breath and continued: “There was an urgent call just now, and the higher-level troops will send an officer over in two hours.”
Xiao Jing couldn’t help frowning, “Because of what?”
“I don’t know. He said that it seems to be someone from the special forces.”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing’s face became more and more serious. This border town, which was not worth a shit, was full of dudes from big families. They wanted to choose talents from rich children who all needed someone to serve them?
“Deputy team leader, the captain asked you to go over immediately, it seems that the people sent this time are of high status.”
Xiao Jing nodded slightly and walked downstairs along the corridor.
The morning sun was a bit dazzling, when Xiao Jing had just left the dormitory, a jeep did not slow down and came hurtling towards her.
A step away from Xiao Jing, the jeep stopped suddenly.
“What’s going on?” An officer woke up from the panic, ran over in a hurry, and glared angrily at the jeep that was trying to run wild in places like the camp.
From the car, a man stepped down, straightened his body, held his head high and said, “I am Mu Xichi, a battalion major of the SS501 military region. Before coming, we had contacted Lian Qing, the captain of your camp.”
The little officer saw the bright two bars and one star on the opponent’s shoulder badge, and he stood impatiently in a military posture, gave a military salute, and said sonorously and forcefully: “Yes, sir.”
Mu Xichi glanced at Xiao Jing who was not moving and restrained herself. Then with that meticulous expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, “Are you stupid?”
Xiao Jing came back to her senses, noticed the man’s identity, and hurriedly said: “It’s the officer, I’m Xiao Jing, the deputy team leader.”
“Where’s your captain?” Mu Xichi looked around, seeing that the surroundings were peaceful, it was already past the time for morning exercises, but there was no sound here.
Xiao Jing tugged at the corner of the officer’s clothes next to her, and lowered her voice, “Yes, where’s the captain?”
The officer also controlled the volume, and said in a low voice, “I’m knocking on doors one by one. He is used to sleeping until the sun is high, and he would definitely not get up before twelve o’clock at noon.”
Xiao Jing secretly glanced at the smiling major, wondering if they would really plan to join their group of second and third generations. Maybe he wanted to find one or two phoenix eggs with potential and take them back to hatch them.
Mu Xichi looked at his watch, and said to the soldiers behind him, “Sound the air defense alarm.”
The little soldier didn’t dare to delay and sounded the alarm as quickly as possible.
In an instant, deafening sirens echoed over the entire camp area.
The soldiers who were dawdling to get dressed heard the sound, and ran out of the barracks one by one in a panic. What’s more, they didn’t have time to zip up their trousers, and felt like a dog eating shit.
The captain of the battalion was Lian Qing, who was currently at the deputy battalion rank. He was the first person to rush to the square when he heard the air defense siren.
“What’s going on? Who sounded the alarm?” One person hurriedly ran to the playground with his pants up.
“Quiet.” Lian Qing noticed the stranger not far away and knew that he was the important person he was notified about by his superiors.
Mu Xichi seemed to be talking to someone in the car, and it wasn’t hard to see that there should still be a big man sitting inside.
After getting an affirmative answer, Mu Xichi nodded, and turned his attention back to this group of defeated members. He said: “I only came here for one purpose. The S team’s code-named Iron Eagle special team is absorbing new blood recently. Does anyone dare to recommend themselves?”
In the huge square, no one said a word.
Standing at the forefront of the team, Xiao Jing couldn’t help but slander: To choose a phoenix among this group of pheasants, um, and they still hope to be a golden high-level phoenix.
Hehe, he really was a big shot, just take pleasure in it.
“It seems that no one dares to stand out.” Mu Xichi looked at the captain Lian Qing, “I’m very disappointed in you.”
After saying that, he gave everyone a thumbs up, and then slowly moved it until his thumbs were facing the ground.
Insult, absolute insult, complete insult.
With a light on his back, Lian Qing straightened his body stiffly, and replied loudly: “Serve the people, do your best, everyone will fight for me, ten obstacles.”
As soon as Lian Qing’s voice fell, his heart was full of enthusiasm. The young people rushed out with their pants in their hands, climbed over the high wall, crawled over the net, crossed the pole with one arm, and then jumped across the mud pit.
Everyone was very excited and they were finally able to complete the ten obstacles in one go.
Xiao Jing was the third one to finish. She was standing in the line panting, her body standing upright. Although she finished it very quickly, the quality of the finish was not enough.
Hehe, just be happy.
Mu Xichi saw a group of teams that were still falling apart despite being filled with righteous indignation and couldn’t help but raise his brows slightly. Were the superiors sure they wanted them to choose one of such a group of soldiers to join their Iron Eagle Special Team?
He felt more and more pain in his forehead, just for this group of people, he wished he could crush their bones with a slap and let them know how important he was.
Damn it, coming here to choose people was completely a pain in the ass.
“Boom!” The body of the jeep swayed slightly, and one person stepped off, they could only see that he was wearing military boots, a military cap, and a cloak, exuding a sinister aura of not being close to strangers all over his body.
Xiao Jing stared dumbfounded at the figure walking towards them. She looked up at the scorching sun above her head. In this hot weather, this person had wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling in order to prove himself shiningly. Was he the last big guy?
When Mu Xichi saw someone coming, he hurriedly stood up straight, saluted as a soldier, and said, “Captain, there is no one suitable.”
The man was wearing sunglasses, and the lenses refracted the sunlight, making it impossible for anyone to see his hidden eyes, but everyone could feel the strong mental pressure brought by this person, although he wore a lot, the first impression he gave was that it was very cold, like the heavy snow that fell suddenly in winter, and made the teeth chatter lightly in the cold.
“You, you, you, and you, you four do it again.” The man was wearing very special gloves, and he called them one by one, with a cold tone.
Xiao Jing stared at the other party in surprise, not because of anything else, but because he called her name.
She clenched her fists involuntarily, and a hot bead of sweat dripped from the center of her forehead.
“You are Xiao Jing!” The man called out his name.
Xiao Jing froze, she didn’t expect this strange man to know her.
“Undress.”
“What?” Xiao Jing almost blurted out.
“You’re hot.” The man’s gloves rested on her forehead.
Xiao Jing took a step back subconsciously. She stared at the man in front of her without blinking. She didn’t know whether it was because the sun was too bright or she was really hot.
Mu Xichi patrolled past one by one, and sneered, “This group of useless soldiers will only waste our time, captain, do you still want to watch?”
“Although we are not special forces, we are also soldiers with flesh and blood, brothers, take off our clothes, let’s do it seriously.”
The crowd was excited, and the soldiers threw their clothes on the ground one by one and rushed out with all their strength.
Only Xiao Jing stood motionless on the ground.
She could hide her ability and pretend to be a worthless piece of trash, but she didn’t have the ability to cover up the thing on her chest.
How to do it? Among a group of shirtless men, she would look out of place if she didn’t take off her clothes, but it would be even more suspicious when she took off her clothes.
The man’s gaze flickered on the immobile Xiao Jing.
Lian Qing followed his gaze, stepped forward quickly, frowned and said, “Why don’t you take off your clothes?”
“I’m not hot.” Xiao Jing explained with a half-smile.
