The midnight sky was quiet and peaceful. On a quiet and secluded road, the orange light elongated the shadows of the man and woman. As the temperature rose, even the blowing night wind was no longer as bone-chilling. Instead, there was a gentle warmth to it. It was like a lover's hand, soft and comfortable.
According to the international practice of the man on the left and the woman on the right, Xiao Zheng paced along the road. From time to time, he took out the weak e-cigarette and took a few puffs to soothe his smoking craving. He was still smoking. In fact, it was mostly out of habit, not because he still had a strong dependence on cigarettes.
"Thank you."
Jiang Qing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth and said emotionally.
She was indeed very grateful to Xiao Zheng. If it weren't for Xiao Zheng's help, the Long Formation might really have to be reorganized. And the group of soldiers under her command would probably be beaten back to their original places and returned to their original units. Or they could directly change jobs and start a new life.
Looking forward to a new life was not necessarily a bad thing. But that was only for people who were tired of the current situation. For this group of soldiers of the Long Formation, they had worked hard to come here, sharpened their swords, and waited to serve the country. But they were suddenly disbanded. Who could bear it?
Jiang Qing was the first to feel despair.
For her, the funds needed for the Long Formation was definitely a huge amount. And the courage needed to support the Long Formation was not something that ordinary businessmen could have. Of course, the unlimited funding was like a mountain, pressing on Xiao Zheng's head.
"I am also a soldier." Xiao Zheng took a puff of the e-cigarette. His eyes were calm, but filled with an inexplicable sense of determination. "At least I used to be."
"You still are." Jiang Qing knew about Xiao Zheng's past and softly comforted him. "You are also the first instructor of the Long Formation."
"Instructor?" Xiao Zheng's lips curled up into a bitter smile and gently shook his head. "Who? Teach you? "
How could he not know that the so-called honorary instructor, the so-called first instructor of the Long Formation, was nothing more than an empty title. Not to mention General Qi who appointed him, even Jiang Qing probably didn't see any value in being an instructor.
Of course, Xiao Zheng was not a narrow-minded person. He didn't feel sad about such a trivial matter. He knew that the reason why General Qi recruited him into the Long Formation was not to use his actual combat ability, but to protect him in the name of the Long Formation. To avoid another troublesome accident like Yan Shang. Now that he had proof of murder and the Dragon Group Token, ordinary people naturally did not dare to cause trouble for no reason and challenge his bottom line.
As for why General Qi only gave him an empty title and did not give him any real power. To put it bluntly, General Qi didn't have the ability!
After all, Xiao Zheng had offended the military more than once. With his qualifications and sensitive identity, how could General Qi dare to give him real power? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Jiang Qing's expression changed slightly. Her lips quivered for a while before she finally sighed softly. "Actually, there are many things that we can't control. Even General Qi is restricted in many ways. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this reorganization. I hope you understand … "
Xiao Zheng had been wronged before. Wasn't Jiang Qing also deceived by General Qi? At first, her heart was cold and hurt, and she couldn't understand. However, with each painful experience and year after year of growth, she gradually understood a truth.
"Life is full of ups and downs," Jiang Qing said regretfully.
Xiao Zheng tilted his head slightly and looked meaningfully at Jiang Qing, who had spoken such profound words. A subtle smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "You've changed."
"Hmm?" Jiang Qing raised her eyes slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed across her beautiful face that had a tinge of heroic bearing. "How have I changed?"
"When I first saw you, you were so valiant and didn't lose to any man. In addition to the immense confidence in his eyes, there is even more arrogance in his eyes, "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "But now, you seem to have lost some edges. More compromises. "
Jiang Qing said in a low voice, "When a person can't change the world and wants to survive, he can only adapt to the world. This is what General Qi taught me. "
"General Qi is right." Xiao Zheng took a puff of the electronic cigarette and smiled. "How can there be so many fearless people in this world who have the ability to look down on everything? At the end of the day, everyone is constantly changing themselves in order to better adapt to the world and fulfill their wishes. "
"What is your wish?" Jiang Qing raised her eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Zheng's side profile.
She never thought that Xiao Zheng would say such meaningful words. For a long time, she only thought that Xiao Zheng was a man without culture, knowledge, and even manners. But through tonight's conversation, she found that she was still too biased. And Xiao Zheng wasn't as shallow as he thought he was.
At least, he could adapt to the world better than her. Otherwise, she and General Qi wouldn't have waited for him to rescue them.
"World peace." Xiao Zheng raised his head slightly and said in a serious manner.
Jiang Qing's face changed slightly. She pursed her lips and said, "I thought you would say that you can't spend all your money. Flirting with countless girls. "
"Do I look like such a shallow man?" Xiao Zheng pointed at his nose. "Plus. I, Xiao Zheng, never take the initiative to flirt with girls. I always wait for girls to flirt with me. "
Jiang Qing tightened her collar and said expressionlessly, "Fortunately, you still have some money."
"Some money?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows. "Do you have a man as rich as me? An annual income of three hundred million. It's more than enough to call me a working emperor. "
Jiang Qing didn't respond to Xiao Zheng's shameless words. She just kept moving forward.
Not long after, the two arrived at the gate of Central Washington Mansion.
"We're here." Jiang Qing stopped.
This was her suggestion to send Xiao Zheng home.
When they were three kilometers away from the neighborhood, Xiao Zheng suggested to get off the car and take a walk. It was a chance to relax.
But how long could three kilometers be? Not to mention the two of them who were so strong.
"Do you want to come in?" Xiao Zheng invited. "My coffee is very good."
Jiang Qing looked up and gave Xiao Zheng a meaningful look. "I don't like coffee."
Xiao Zheng smiled subtly, but he didn't force it.
Jiang Qing didn't discuss this meaningless question with him. She said lightly, "Good night."
After that, she turned around and left.
She didn't dare to enter this door. She couldn't enter.
As for the woman behind the door, she couldn't afford to offend her, let alone provoke her.
In her mind, nothing could compare to the Long Formation. Including men.
So she wouldn't put the Long Formation in prison for a man.
Of course, it wasn't hard to tell from Xiao Zheng's eyes that his invitation was just a courtesy. Even if she refused, he might find a reasonable or unreasonable excuse to refuse.
If that was the case, why would she humiliate herself?
