Outside the weapons room, the figure who was about to open the door suddenly stopped moving.
Through the glass window, Shen Chengfeng stared intently at the straight-backed Xiao Jing inside, rubbing his fingers lightly.
Her ability as a fox to pretend to be a tiger was the pinnacle, no one else would dare to compare. Once his background was brought out, no one in the huge empire would dare to touch him. After all, the Xiao family commanded a quarter of the empire’s army.
No one wanted to cut off their future for no reason.
Jiang Si softened his momentum, lowered his head and began to pack the guns in front of him.
Xiao Jing secretly poked her inner heart. Although her elder brothers didn’t think highly of her, it was still useful to mention their names occasionally. At least ordinary soldiers would still be concerned about her identity as a member of the Xiao family.
The night fell, and the entire camp was gradually shrouded in darkness.
Xiao Jing dragged her tired body back to her dormitory. Today was just a physical examination, and it seemed that she hadn’t started training yet. She couldn’t imagine how she would be tortured when the training really started.
With her thin body, she might start doubting life.
“Boom, boom, boom.” Footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the dormitory.
Xiao Jing was so tired that she didn’t even want to open her eyelids. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she almost subconsciously called out Lian Qing’s name, “Captain, I don’t want to move anymore. You can play by yourself obediently and don’t disturb me.”
After saying this, Xiao Jing felt that something was wrong. This place didn’t seem to be the 525 regiment, so she sat up mechanically.
The lights in the room were a bit dim, and she didn’t see clearly who the person in front of her was at first glance, but only after he approached further did she get a general idea.
With sword eyebrows and star eyes, a serious smile, tight lips, and a dignified complexion, this person at first looked like her second brother Xiao Hong who always counted his every word.
That paralyzed face that could kill the sky, where he couldn’t wait to end everyone’s conversation with a word.
Xiao Jing rubbed her eyes, then she turned on the desk lamp, and when the lamp was lit, the other party’s face could be clearly seen.
Xiao Hong was famous for his facial paralysis in the army, not to mention his inability to express his emotions and anger, even if he was only breathing, he could stare at you to death with his eyes that looked like they were spitting poison without changing his face.
“Second, second brother?” Xiao Jing stood up from the bed in a hurry, with her head held high, her military posture meticulous.
Xiao Hong sat on the chair, his eyes wandering over the dormitory, it was a simple room for one person, with only a private bathroom, where not even bathing tools were provided.
“I heard from the eldest brother that you came to the Special Forces, just with your body?” Xiao Hong’s aura was cold, just sitting like this, the cold radiating from him could freeze a person into an ice pillar.
Xiao Jing felt a little guilty, she dared to say that he didn’t believe it, but the fact was that she really came to the Special Forces with this body, it was really like a dream.
Xiao Hong saw a small bottle placed beside the bed, and asked again: “Brother gave it to you?”
Xiao Jing followed his gaze and nodded, “Yes.”
Xiao Hong stood up and directly threw the bottle into the trash can, “It’s not good to eat too much of this stuff.”
“…” Xiao Jing stared blankly, she thought the bottle could still be saved.
Xiao Hong took out another bottle from his pocket and put it on the table, his voice was neither sad nor happy, it was calm like a pool of stagnant water, as he said: “Shen Chengfeng is a well-known King of Hades in the army, and it is very common for the soldiers under him to be injured. This is trauma medicine, which can stop the bleeding and heal the wound better.”
Xiao Jing’s gaze lowered and landed on the white jade bottle in Xiao Hong’s hand, under the light, this bottle was just like Xiao Hong, like a cold air was exuding from its whole body.
“Don’t push yourself too hard, our Xiao family doesn’t need everyone to be a hero.”
“I know.”
“You can rest.” Xiao Hong turned and left.
Xiao Jing touched her head, and after confirming that she was not dreaming, she frowned even more.
When did the second brother talk so much? When did he talk so much to her?
In the past at Xiao house, when he saw her, he couldn’t bear to give her a single glance. He was like a walking refrigerator, cold and hard.
“Come out.” Xiao Hong stood in the corridor, staring at the figure hidden in the dark corner with blazing eyes.
Jiang Si walked out of the corner cautiously. At first he thought he had seen it wrong, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be Xiao Hong, the vice president of the Supreme Staff Council of the Empire, with the rank of lieutenant general.
What Xiao Jing said seemed to be true, he was indeed from the Xiao family.
“Speak.” Xiao Hong glanced at the other party blankly. Judging from his behavior, this person was not friendly.
Although Jiang Si stood up straight, but under the pressure of the opponent’s momentum, his waist gradually lost its support. He said in a panic, “I, I was just passing by.”
“Passing by?” The two words were full of doubts.
Jiang Si nodded eagerly, “I’m really just—”
Before he could finish his words, his neck was grabbed by the other party, and the next moment, his body was heavily pushed against the corner of the wall, until he couldn’t move.
The strength of Xiao Hong’s fingertips gradually intensified, as if if he exerted a little more force under his fingers, the person would die instantly.
Jiang Si struggled, his throat was clamped, he couldn’t say anything to justify himself, so he could only beg for mercy with his eyes.
“This man, you can’t move.” Xiao Hong let go of his hand, and looked down at the man who kept panting after he got his breath.
Jiang Si’s vocal cords were damaged, and his voice was hoarse, “I have no malice, I really have no malice.”
“Our Xiao family has always been vindictive.” There was a sound of kneading fingers in the air.
Jiang Si drooped his neck, he nodded, “Yes, yes.”
“Get lost.”
In the corridor, silence returned again.
The next day, the alarm sounded at five o’clock. With the experience of the first day, everyone stood on the playground almost at the moment the alarm stopped, without the slightest panic from yesterday.
Xiao Jing always felt that a pair of eyes from the side fell on her from time to time, she instinctively looked towards her side, only to see Jiang Si looking away guiltily.
“Strengthen soldiers on the battlefield to show the true qualities of a hero. Real practice forges a bloody tiger spirit. See the mountains behind you. The Qilian Mountains are famous for their steepness. There are countless beasts and poisonous snakes there. You have to do an armed cross-country trek of ten kilometers. I only care about the result, not the process. I will be there waiting for you at the finish line, the last one who arrives will immediately announce his withdrawal.”
Shen Chengfeng walked past the crowd one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on the short and thin Xiao Jing.
