"There's nothing wrong, right?" Zi Chuanxiu poked Sterling's waist.

"Ah, oh, what?" Sterling said incoherently, "What's wrong?"

Zi Chuanxiu glanced at him strangely but said nothing.

Sterling immediately returned to normal and strode into the living room.

Looking at his back, Zi Chuanxiu's eyes were full of worry: "I hope it's not as I expected..."

Roger, Shirakawa and Nagakawa immediately stood up and saluted: Sterling has become the idol of the younger generation of soldiers in the family with his extraordinary talents, charming style and charisma. Like Shirakawa and others, they may not know the head of the family and the president, but they

It’s impossible not to recognize that Sterling, Roger and others have admired him for a long time.

But even though it was their first meeting, they all had the same feeling: Sterling was not in normal condition today...

Excerpted from Commander Shirakawa's personal memoir: "Days with Adults":

"...He (Sterling) returned the gift very politely, and his greetings were also very appropriate. He even sat down and shared a frozen watermelon with us, and kindly gave us guidance on our doubts in martial arts... Everything was very good.

It's normal, but I don't know why I always feel that he has a sense of being absent-minded... It's very abnormal. I said to myself, maybe this is the so-called woman's intuition?"

Later, another person present, Commander Roger, the military affairs commander, said: "Don't listen to that bitch Baichuan bragging about "women's intuition" again - her memoir was written purely to defraud money and find gunmen.

She herself didn't even understand what "HOWAREYOU?" meant - even an idiot could have discovered that Mr. Sterling was mentally unstable at that time! Otherwise, how could a super master like Mr. Sterling almost fail when cutting a watermelon?

Half of his palm was cut off in one piece? How could he ask us five times in a row: "When did you return to the Imperial Capital?", "When did you return to the Imperial Capital?", "When did you return to the Imperial Capital, Roger?"

?"...Every time we answered clearly, but less than three minutes later he asked again: "When..."

Chief of Staff Commander Nagakawa added to him: "Also, our Lord Xiuchuan has been standing by the side without saying a word, smiling wickedly like two Yang Minghua plus a Lei Xun - just look at his wicked smile:

Something must have happened!"

Saying goodbye to Zi Chuan Ning’s house, Zi Chuan Xiu sent Sterling home.

"The stars are very bright tonight!" Sterling said solemnly, with a tone of making a major conclusion.

Zi Chuanxiu looked up at the dark cloudy sky and raised his eyebrows: "That's right!"

"The moon is also very round!"

"Yes." There is actually no moon tonight.

"The streets of our imperial capital are so clean!"

"Correct." Zi Chuanxiu accidentally stepped on a dead cat.

"Actually, you don't have to come out to give it to me. You still have so many things to be busy with..."

"nonsense."

“…”

“…”

"Thank you very much for your gift. Li Qing will be very happy."

"I understand."

"Is Miss Zichuanning okay? I didn't see her tonight."

"fine."

"What's her name?"

"Kadan."

The two stopped, Zi Chuanxiu stared straight into Sterling's eyes, and the latter was avoiding his sight.

silence.

Zi Chuanxiu said word by word: "The full name is Princess Cardan, the third daughter of the contemporary Demon God King. She was captured by me during the fifth battle of Hengchuan. Now the Commander-in-Chief has ordered me to supervise her."

Sterling's lips trembled, and he no longer showed his usual calm and composure.

"Have you discovered it earlier?"

"I'm not blind."

"You think I'm shameless, don't you?"

"No," Zi Chuanxiu tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It's just common shamelessness."

"I have a fiancée, and she loves me very much."

"I know. Li Qing is a very good girl."

"She is the daughter of the Great Demon King and a member of the demon clan."

"And he is also a royal family among the demons!"

※※※

The two stopped and looked at each other for a moment<

"what to do?"

"Do you want to hear me explain how a senior military officer of the family should be selfless and selfless, sacrificing the individual to fulfill the greater self? The magnificent spirit and heroic spirit?"

"Get the fuck out of here @#4#&#!"

"..."

"Sorry, I'm too excited."

"It doesn't matter, but there are several solutions to this kind of thing - do you want a long-term solution, a mid-term solution or a short-term solution?"

"Let's talk about the long term first."

"Long-term solution" is also called the "once and for all" method. Method One: Tie a knot on the ceiling of the house, step on the stool, stretch your neck in, and kick the stool off; Method Two: Go to the Great Demon Castle alone to find the Demon God by name.

Wang singled out; method three: kill Yang Minghua in public at the military parade on January 1st every year. Which one do you like?"

"..."

"Don't like it? It doesn't matter, we still have a medium-term solution! For example, use a razor to castrate yourself - but it is technically difficult, and it is not as effective and safe as the methods mentioned above..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

"Perhaps you can be like those middle school students whose feathers are not fully grown, buy eleven red roses tomorrow and send them to Miss Cardin, and stay under her window every night until dawn, singing love songs and playing guitar to her. See

My heart beats wildly when I see her beautiful figure - but your future father-in-law may be unexpectedly strict!"

"I told you to shut up!"

"You don't like it either? Then I have to use the last method - Cardin is my guardian anyway, I will lock her in an unoccupied room and give you the key..."

Sterling punched Zi Chuanxiu in front of him and knocked him to the ground. He slowly got up, took the handkerchief from Sterling, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and spoke slowly:

"As for me, I would rather you die than take this road - death is only painful once after all." Zi Chuanxiu said in a low voice: "Give up, brother, this is crazy. You know, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for me

I will help you no matter what, but this... you are no longer fifteen years old! This is just an impulse! She doesn't even know who you are!"

Sterling said nothing, his eyes were blank, as if he was listening carefully, but also seemed to be wandering for nine days...

※※※

"This is the first time I feel this way," Sterling said in a weak but firm tone: "I love her."

"Damn you!" Zi Chuanxiu whispered: "Then you love Li Qing again?"

"That's different! My feelings for Li Qing - that's not love, it's just that we have been in contact with each other more and don't hate each other..."

"You've slept with people so many times and are about to get married before you say "that's not love" - ​​isn't it too late?"

"It's too late - the problem is that I didn't know what 'love' was until tonight!"

"I don't care if you die!" Zi Chuanxiu lost his patience and became furious: "I have been trying to persuade you for a long time. Come and talk to me about what you feel or don't feel. If you have nothing to do, you are looking for death. It would be easier to cut the arteries with a knife!"

"

"I know."

Sterling saw a tavern on the roadside and smiled sadly: "I also invented a solution: getting drunk will solve a thousand worries! Come in, I'll treat you."

"Oh, no! I have to report to the administrative office tomorrow! Yang Minghua arranged for me to be the deputy director there. I can't drink tonight..."

Sterling ignored him and walked into the tavern first.

Zi Chuanxiu judged: "No, this guy is serious! He obviously doesn't love a girl as good as Li Qing, but he fell in love with the daughter of the Demon God King - what kind of world! Love - is obviously crazy!"

※※※

The person who expressed emotion could never have imagined that a few years later, he would desperately plunge into a more sad and touching emotional entanglement, and stage the most famous and touching scene of the love tragedy in the golden age. However, that was many years ago.

What happens next...

On this hot summer day in August 778 in the imperial calendar, Sterling was 23 years old, Di Lin was 24 years old, and Zichuan Xiu was 18 years old. The three heroes of the Zichuan family were still rolling and struggling in the whirlpool of the times, but they could not dominate.
