At noon that day, Mi Lan had just come back, and not even ten minutes after sitting down, Tie Long came in.
Compared with before, Mi Lan unexpectedly discovered that Tie Long came here more often during this period. Maybe, maybe he couldn't let go of his beloved apprentice and came to inquire for information.
"Old Zheng, is it because the health worker hasn't changed the bucket for you all year round? Why do you always come to me to beg for water?" Mi Lan stood up consciously, took out the fine Yuqian Longjing from the back of the cup, and gave it to Tie Long.
Made a cup of good tea.
Taking the tea cup unceremoniously, Tie Long blew the tea leaves and said jokingly: "Isn't it because you have good tea here, but I don't!"
"If you like it, you can take it all. Anyway, you know that I don't drink tea."
"You are giving me an eviction order in disguise! Are you trying to seal off this area and not let me in from now on?!"
"Where are you thinking! I didn't mean that! Look what you said...!"
"Okay. I won't joke with you anymore. I'm here because I have something to ask you."
Mi Lan raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "I knew that every time you came to ask for tea, you always wanted to ask me something. Why, these twenty-four hours haven't come yet, and you are... worried about your apprentice?"
"Yes. I am very worried. However, what I am worried about is not now, but after she comes back."
"After you come back? What does this child have that makes you worry about her all day long? Lao Zheng, tell me...listen?"
"Mi Lan, you know why I came here." Tie Long put down the teacup and looked at Mi Lan seriously.
Seeing how serious Lao Zheng was, Mi Lan stopped being casual and stood up: "I don't know."
Tielong sighed and said leisurely: "It's the application you submitted."
"How did you know?" Mi Lan was shocked.
"The military region did not approve your application. Instead, it was returned to me."
"Returned?!"
"That's right. The boss asked me to bring you a message."
"What words?!"
"The boss said that you are the leader of Red Eagle, and people are also yours. You have the right to make decisions. But I hope you can think it over clearly."
Mi Lan nodded and looked at Tie Long with determination: "I have thought about it carefully a long time ago. Since the boss asked me to make the decision, I have to make my own decision."
"Have you ever asked Lao Tang if you did this? Does he agree?"
"He will definitely agree. I guess he has been looking forward to this day since the day Xiaomi joined the army." Mi Lan sat down gently.
"What about Xiaomi? Have you asked her for her opinion? Does Xiaomi agree with what you are doing?"
"This is an order. She must agree."
"Mi Lan, from the perspective of a bystander, this is your family matter and I shouldn't interfere. But Xiaomi is also my apprentice."
"Old Zheng, I have decided."
Tielong shook his head helplessly: "Since you have already decided, why do you still want her to participate in this wild survival? You are clearly contradicting yourself."
"I want her to see her true strength clearly. When she truly embarks on her own path, she will not be too conceited. This is also teaching her how to deal with things."
"Milan, do you think Xiaomi will agree to you easily?"
"You don't have to worry about this."
"If I'm not wrong, it's the last level that will really kill her. You've already dug the trap, and you're just waiting for Xiaomi to jump in!"
"But do you think your apprentice will jump in stupidly?"
"She will. Due to some kind of pressure, she will definitely do it. Isn't this you? Mi Lan?"
"In short, I have decided. If she doesn't agree, she is disobeying the order. I have more right to make the decision."
"Mi Lan, what if I say, I want this soldier?" Tie Long raised his eyebrows and looked at Mi Lan with a straight face.
"Old Zheng..." Mi Lan was confused. Was what she heard just now true?
"Milan, I know you are worried about Xiaomi, for her own good. But at least you should respect Xiaomi's choices and decisions. You can't decide everything about her just because you are her mother and her leader."
"Old Zheng, tell me, do you want this soldier?"
Tie Long nodded solemnly: "Yes, I have been thinking about it for several years. Unfortunately, you have been biting too hard and are unwilling to relax even a little bit. Now it's better, I finally have this opportunity...!"
"She seems not qualified enough to join your team, right?! Lao Zheng, you have to think clearly." Mi Lan tried to dispel this terrible idea of Tie Long.
"Milan, you don't believe that Xiaomi is good enough. That's because you are a mother and you think that your child is just a child at any time. But you have forgotten that Xiaomi has grown up and is able to take charge of her own business. She is no longer a child.
She is the child in your eyes. Since your Red Eagle cannot accommodate her, then I tell you very solemnly that my Qianlong welcomes her. As long as Xiaomi agrees, I welcome her to join Qianlong at any time."
"..." Mi Lan was stunned. Before his idea was realized, Tie Long had already asked for someone. What should he do? Should Tang Xiaomi stay or not? Stay and follow him in a hail of bullets. If not,
I went to Lao Zheng's Qianlong Brigade and narrowly escaped death.
"Mi Lan, this is the first time you have selfish motives in more than 20 years of service in the army. From the perspective of relatives, Xiaomi is indeed in danger every day. But as a soldier, Tang Xiaomi, she is a soldier.
He was born to be a soldier."
"Let me think about it..."
"Don't be in a hurry. Take your time and consider what I say. I'm leaving!"
As soon as Tie Long went out, Mi Lan sighed heavily.
What should I do? I didn’t expect that Lao Zheng had already wanted to recruit Xiaomi into his army. Why didn’t he see it? Now, no matter whether Xiaomi leaves or not, he has decided to fight with him. Qianlong Brigade,
A place where one could die without blinking an eye. Xiaomi has gone, isn't it... Mi Lan doesn't dare to think about it anymore, but now, will Xiaomi stay or not? The sadness spreads to every part of the body.
Tang Xiaomi, this is the twelfth letter I have written to you. At this moment, I am not a colonel or your commander, but a mother who cares about her daughter wholeheartedly.
I wonder how you lived in that desolate place after you lost my memory. Sitting in front of a warm campfire, have you ever tried to think about me? I think, maybe you have.
Xiaomi, I know that I am not a good mother. I have given you too little and have done only a handful of things for you. But today, I want to ask your opinion. One is your most respected master, and the other is that you have nothing.
The mother of impressions. Qianlong or Red Eagle, who will you choose?
Xiaomi, if you don’t want to leave me, or you don’t want to leave Chiying, then I respect you. I want you to appear in my sight every day and never ask you to leave again. Even if there are bullets and bullets every day. I believe
, as long as we are together, that is good.
I look forward to your return with the lost memories, and you and I look forward to you making the true choice in your heart.——————————————————————————
