The sound of the train's whistle woke the sleeping person, and his deep eyes slowly opened.
The sky is light white, cloudless, and the magnificent morning glow dyes a corner of the horizon.
In the distance are the Catjara Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round and glow bright orange-red under the sunlight.
On both sides of the railway track, green pines and cypresses stood upright, unwavering despite the howling of the cold wind.
Morning glow, snow-capped mountains, pines and cypresses, all kinds of colors complement each other, like a beautiful oil painting, deeply reflected in Leng Ling's eyes, lingering.
Just looking at the morning scenery outside the window, my hazy eyes gradually became clear.
Turning your head slightly, you looked at the man sitting next to you. You saw that the man had his head drooped, his whole body tilted to one side, and his dazzling blond hair scattered messily in front of his forehead.
Staring at the man's sleeping form, his dark eyes quietly dimmed.
In the past few days, too many things have happened around me. Even though I don't want to have anything to do with him, somehow, all the fingers seem to be pointed at him.
He was present for his name, the depth of Ruth Ferdinand's words, the disappearance of the letter, and Karl's trap.
Thinking back on everything this man had done for himself, Leng Ling could not connect those things with him. He would rather believe that these were just coincidences.
If the previous events could be regarded as accidents or Karl's calculations, then what those people did at the train station was inseparable from him. Because only he knew his whereabouts.
"Um……"
The man snorted softly and opened his golden eyes.
When his gaze met those deep black eyes, Lien raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Are you fascinated by my handsome appearance?"
Leng Ling rolled her eyes at Li En, "Li En? Mr. Hans, your sleeping appearance is really bad,"
"It's true, I thought I hid it well," his golden eyes curled up with a smile. Li En moved his sore neck, adjusted his sitting posture, and moved closer to Leng Ling, "Dear Leng Ling
Your Highness, how did you sleep last night?"
Leng Ling shrugged and said, "With you by my side, of course I will have a dreamless night."
The sexy thin lips were slightly raised, "That's natural."
Glancing around, Li En saw that no one was paying attention. He took Leng Ling's slightly cold hand and placed a kiss on the white finger with the ring, "Good morning, Ling."
"Well," he nodded lightly, "it's early for you too."
The female flight attendant came over, with a nice face and a smile, "Good morning, both of you. Do you need anything?"
Leng Ling glanced at the waiter and said, "A glass of hot milk and a salad sandwich."
"A cup of coffee and a chicken bacon roll."
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."
The female flight attendant turned around and was about to leave, but Leng Ling stopped her and said, "Give me another newspaper."
"Okay, sir, I'll send it right away."
After the waitress left, Leng Ling turned to look out the window and said in a clear and clear voice, "Who do you think did what happened yesterday?"
Lien frowned, "Why are you still thinking about this matter? What is supposed to come will come. The most important thing right now is to solve Cosell's matter."
Lien's persuasion didn't seem to be very effective. Leng Ling frowned, "No, I must figure this out. I want to know how many people are Lanson's enemies and how many people they sent."
Come to the spy lurking around me."
The handsome face was full of meaning, and a hint of vague complexity flashed through Li En's eyes, "Ling, don't push yourself too hard. You are not the president of Lanson. You don't need to worry about so many things. You just need to
Just do your part well."
Moreover, even if you try your best to fulfill your responsibilities for your country, you will only become more of a thorn in the eyes of some people.
"As a member of the Leng family, it is my responsibility to protect my country and people. I have no way to refuse. I must bear it alone."
Li En slowly shook his head, "Ling, don't think about taking everything on yourself, your shoulders can't bear such a heavy weight."
Slowly raising his hand, he touched the other person's thin shoulder, leaning in a little bit, "Leave some space for me, and let me share the burden for you."
His clear eyes lowered leisurely, staring silently at the edge of the table. Leng Ling's thin lips parted slightly, "Lean Hans, I have always seen everything you have done. From now on, no matter what you do, you will do it."
Remember I am your only master."
"As you command, my master."
"Gala la."
The female flight attendant came over with a trolley and delivered two steaming breakfasts to the two of them, "Two gentlemen, your breakfast is here."
"And your newspaper, sir."
Li En let go and took the breakfast and newspaper, smiled lightly and said, "Thank you."
"I wish you both a pleasant meal."
Two blushes flew onto her pretty face, the female flight attendant smiled sweetly, turned and left.
Leng Ling took the newspaper, opened it, and her eyes immediately fell on the headline.
"After a fierce battle last night, the two armies suffered heavy casualties. Lanson's army fought bravely and forced our army out of the mountainous area fifty miles away from Kessel."
Leng Ling stared at the words "heavy casualties" for a long time with his dark eyes gleaming, his eyebrows lowered and he remained silent.
Li En took a sip of coffee and saw Leng Ling's lips tightened and her expression changed slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Leng Ling slowly shook his head and closed the newspaper.
He raised his hand to take the sandwich, put it to his mouth and chewed it mechanically. He ate a little and didn't move again.
After drinking a few sips of black tea, Leng Ling sat silently, her beautiful black eyes filled with water.
Lien knew that the other party was worried about Kessel's situation, so he comforted him in a deep voice, "Don't worry too much, they will be fine."
Leng Ling nodded faintly, her voice sour, "I hope we can still make it in time."
Staring at each other, Li En reached out and brushed Leng Ling's reddish cheeks, "Ling, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."
"Dear passengers, the train will arrive in Kossel in half an hour, please be prepared."
The announcer's voice sounded in the carriage, and Leng Ling raised his eyes to look out the window again, "There is smoke and heavy casualties over there. I really regret it..."
Lean immediately stopped, "Don't regret it, let alone feel guilty. Ling, you have to remember that this was all done by those bastards in Carl. Now that it has happened, we can only find ways to remedy it and minimize the loss, and
It’s not self-blame.”
Leng Ling was still looking out the window, and he murmured, "Can I make it in time?"
"If you have time, you will definitely have time," looking at Leng Ling's slightly blue eyes, Li En took the other person's slender body into his arms, "As long as I am here, Carl's ambition will not succeed, believe me."
The thick eyelashes were stained with tears, and Leng Ling remained silent.
After a long time, he responded softly, "Yes."
Half an hour later, the train arrived at the station.
Leng Ling walked out of the carriage and took a deep breath.
I finally returned to my own country. There seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder smoke floating in the air, and my chest felt a dull pain every time I took a breath.
Lien saw the thin figure and took a few steps forward to stand side by side with him.
The two of them were silent in the cold wind, watching the people rushing around the station.
This is our own country, and our people are fighting against the invaders in dire straits. We must also engage in this defense war until death.
Looking at the foothills in the distance, Leng Ling said with determination, "Let's go."
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Following the sound, Leng Ling looked up and saw a black car appearing in the crowd. Lance stuck his head out of the car and waved to himself, "Please get in the car quickly!"
Leng Ling opened the car door and got in, followed by Li En.
The car was driving quickly on the road. Leng Ling looked ahead and frowned, "What's the situation now?"
Lance reported while driving, "Your Highness, the second night after you left, the Valencian army raided. We resisted desperately and finally drove them out of the border. But their army has been stationed in the mountains and refused to leave.
I doubt they will launch another offensive."
"What are the casualties?"
"The damage to 'Wings of Freedom' was not too serious, and there were many casualties. Colonel Keyser and Sergeant Ralph were both seriously injured and are still in a coma in the hospital."
A chill rose up on his handsome face, and Leng Ling's tone was cold, "I understand."
Returning to the headquarters, Leng Ling immediately convened an emergency meeting with all personnel to analyze the situation and discuss combat strategies.
Then he ordered Lance and Lean to take charge of the next steps. He went to the hospital to visit the injured, and asked Captain Fan Wu about the injuries of Colonel Kaiser and Ralph. By the time he finished everything, it was already close to midnight.
Climbing up the steps, Leng Ling dragged her tired body back to the room.
Not bothering to take off his coat, he fell on the bed.
Her body was too tired to move, her brain was in chaos, and she was overly worried, making Leng Ling feel uncomfortable all over.
In a daze, the door seemed to be opened, and Leng Ling realized that someone had walked in, but he was too tired to open his eyes.
The man stood behind him for a while, saying nothing or doing nothing. After a while, he turned around and left again.
After a while, the door was opened again. Unlike the person before, this person's footsteps were so steady, and his familiar breath was reassuring.
Li En walked to Leng Ling, pulled back the quilt beside the bed, covered him, and then stayed by his side silently.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the face with wrinkled eyebrows, I reached out and touched it, trying to smooth it out.
"Well……"
Leng Ling groaned in discomfort and moved his fingers feebly. He looked a little in pain at this moment.
"Ling, I'm here, don't worry, have a good sleep, everything will be fine."
Being watched tenderly by that man and hearing his words in his ears, Leng Lingdun felt that his body relaxed a lot and he soon fell asleep.
Seeing that the man's tense nerves relaxed, Lien's eyes were full of love. He leaned down, kissed the man's forehead, stood up and left.
