The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

Ling Shuang and I were brought back together by Uncle Zhong.

She was about half a step ahead of me.

At least, when I was picked up at the entrance of the village, there was a silent little girl beside Uncle Zhong.

At that time, I didn’t understand why she always had a stern face at such a young age.

Until later, when I grew up a little.

I heard by chance that her elders had originally planned to sell her to a brothel.

Fortunately, I met Uncle Zhong halfway.

Uncle Zhong saw that she had a good potential in martial arts, so he spent twice the price to buy her.

It is said that the family took the silver happily and left without looking back.

They were even planning on bringing back a chicken leg for her brother.

When I first heard about it, I felt full of sympathy for this little girl.

Although……

My family doesn't want me anymore.

But at least they didn't plan to sell me out.

Lingkong explained that "since you are a boy, you can't be sold for much."

I:……

Never mind what happened in the past.

After being brought back by Uncle Zhong, I often secretly observed her.

Probably, Ling Xue had not arrived at that time, and the brothers Ling Yan and Ling Kong had not appeared either.

There appeared Ling Yu who practiced invisibility every day.

It's the two of us who were just brought back.

Uncle Zhong named me Lingfeng, and I pricked up my ears to listen to her name.

Ling Shuang.

As I understand it, the word "frost" means something very cold.

I actually feel that it suits her appearance particularly well since she doesn't like to smile.

When I was practicing martial arts with Uncle Zhong, I couldn't help but ask her, "Ling Shuang, did Uncle Zhong give you this name because you don't like to laugh?"

That was the first time she looked me in the eye, and then she replied, "Then why are you called Ling Feng?"

why?

Right!

This sentence of hers has troubled me for a long time.

Until I started learning light body kung fu from Aunt Zhong.

Then I suddenly realized that Uncle Zhong might want me to learn light-body kung fu well?

It was when we were learning the light-body kung fu that we met our future master.

She is shorter than me and her face is even more tense than Ling Shuang's.

Aunt Zhong arranged for Ling Shuang to accompany her master to practice light body skills.

Left me alone in the woods to practice chopping trees.

and so……

For a moment, I thought it must be because I didn't practice martial arts well enough.

Later, the yard became more and more lively.

There are two new brothers named Kong and Yan who look almost exactly the same.

There is also Ling Xue.

And the rest of the secret guards.

When we were little, our master would take us to fight with the kids next door.

At first I would always get kicked by the kids next door.

The frosty sunlight fell lightly on the footprints on my clothes, and then looked away without saying a word.

I looked at the cloth she was wearing, and it wasn't stained with even a speck of dust.

After that, I worked even harder.

later,

For a long time, I needed to look up at her.

Obviously they are about the same age.

But she is actually half a head taller than me.

Ling Xue is actually taller than me.

Our master is also taller than me.

Fortunately, except for Ling Yu, the brothers Kong and Yan are slightly shorter than me.

I thought life would go on like this.

There's nothing wrong with being a secret guard.

Although I have to learn a lot, Aunt Zhong will always make delicious food for us.

Uncle Zhong occasionally teaches us how to barbecue.

Both of them have very good craftsmanship.

only……

We had just been in the military camp for a few days when Ling Shuang and Ling Xue were transferred to serve the master personally.

After training that night, brother Lingyan told me mysteriously.

"When the master grows up, he will definitely need girls to serve him."

"Aunt Zhong doesn't trust others, so Ling Shuang and Ling Xue are probably arranged as concubines for the master."

At that time, I had a vague feeling that this so-called concubine was not a good thing.

But, I don’t understand what that means.

Later, I became my master's personal guard.

Most of them are hidden beside the master.

When looking at the master, of course he could also see Ling Shuang.

At that time, she and Ling Xue both changed into maids' clothes.

But I could still tell them apart at a glance. Even if only a corner of her clothes was exposed, I knew it was her, Ling Xue.

I finally got familiar with the Northern Territory.

The master is going back to Beijing.

In the past few years, we have been learning the language of Kyoto with Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong.

but……

When it comes to actually going back, everyone is probably a little nervous.

That night the master sat in front of the window, his shadow reflected in it.

I didn't need to look closely to tell that the shadow standing beside me was Ling Shuang.

She is an outstanding swordsman, and when she is with her master, she always has a little more experience than Ling Xue.

The night before returning to Beijing.

Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong took us to discuss the matter with the master.

They said, "Fang Keji will definitely not let us go back, so... to protect the master's safety, I'm afraid we can only rely on the connections in the palace."

I was completely confused at the time.

The only thing I understood at the end was that the master had to be purified before entering the palace.

When I heard about the need to castrate oneself and enter the palace, I didn’t understand anything.

Then when Uncle Zhong looked over, he nodded subconsciously, "I will accompany the master into the palace."

After saying this, several people's eyes fell on my face at the same time.

Ling Xue was shocked.

There was a hint of surprise in Ling Shuang's usually calm eyes.

Ling Kong and Ling Yan opened their mouths wide, and Ling Yu coughed lightly.

So...what's this purification thing about?

Uncle Zhong's gaze paused on me, and Aunt Zhong shook her head gently.

And our master raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, "Why are you cleaning yourself? I will do it myself."

After returning to Beijing, the master only stayed at the Fang family for a few days.

She was sent into the palace through the help of Uncle Zhong.

After I secretly followed them in, I saw those eunuchs busying around.

Our master also changed into the attire of a eunuch and wore his hat neatly.

Leaning on the corridor, biting a grass seedling out of boredom.

The voice pointed at the group of young eunuchs with a smile and said, "Ling Feng, you see, they are the eunuchs who entered the palace after being castrated."

Although I don't understand what castration means, I understand what the eunuch means.

Hiding in the dark, looking at those little eunuchs.

I suddenly understood the confusion and shock of everyone that day.

but……

His eyes paused on my master. Why did our master become a eunuch?

Isn’t he the only bloodline of the Ling family?

Perhaps my gaze was too direct, and the master bit the grass seedling in his hand hard.

With a sad face, he told me, "When facing life and death, these are no longer worth considering."

This sentence touched my heart.

For a long time, I felt both sympathy and distress for my master.

He is about the same age as us, but his family has forced him to this point.

Thinking about it this way, it would be better if Ling Shuang and I lived a happy life.

At least, we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves.

Until... when the master got married, Ling Yu came back in a hurry.

He stood under the eaves and reported the news to his master.

I was shocked when I heard that.

Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong had no objection to this, they were just afraid of exposing their master's identity.

What other identity does the master have???
