Chapter 196: Returning to the Grass (1)
Colonel Corey of the Seventh Legion of the Imperial Guard reported to the commander's mansion early in the morning to take over the external defense of the mansion. This was the first time he took over this job, but reconnaissance and close-range firefights were the strengths of his Seventh Legion. After receiving this job, he directly ordered about two hundred Imperial Guards to come and divided the governance area with the guards of the mansion.
The person in charge of the general defense of the commander's mansion is Gene. Gene has a deputy who is responsible for the execution of specific defense work. Generally, when Gene accompanies the commander on official business trips, the defense of the mansion will be directly taken over by the deputy.
This time, because the commander's sweetheart lived in the mansion, the usually tight defense suddenly seemed a little thin... Some unknown mentality was at work on the commander, and he always wanted to add another iron wall around the mansion to protect his Ning Hua.
After Corey arrived, all the guards responsible for the external defense of the mansion withdrew to the interior of the mansion, and a small team from the Seventh Imperial Guard took over the guard work outside the mansion.
Corey was a very young colonel, young in the truest sense of the word, only twenty-nine years old. He was promoted to the rank of colonel in the Imperial Guards at the age of twenty-nine. This not only showed that he had a very good and noble family background, but also indirectly proved that he possessed outstanding military talent and outstanding martial arts.
Protecting the Leeds system and the commander is the honor of the soldiers. Therefore, Corey was a little disappointed that he could not go to the Eastern Union system with the commander.
Corey was 29 years old, at the peak of his vigor and with a strong desire to achieve military merit. When he learned that the commander was on high alert and that the person he was asked to lead the troops to protect was just a little maid, Corey, who was born into a noble family, suddenly felt a sense of confusion.
However, a soldier's duty is to obey. The commander saw his ability and promoted him several times, so he must repay him. The best way for him to repay him is to strictly execute whatever order the commander gave and strive to achieve perfection.
He patrolled around the commander's mansion and made defensive deployments. Then he was summoned by the commander to meet Ning Hua. However, after a quick glance, before he could see what Ning Hua looked like, the commander asked him to leave.
The commander was going to leave for the Eastern Union System the next night, so during the rare two days of rest, Ning Hua's tutoring classes were unilaterally terminated by the commander's decision.
After meeting Corey, Ning Hua took the commander's arm and walked in the small garden behind the mansion.
Early autumn is coming again. The wind blowing in your face is slightly cool, and the precious flowers blooming in the garden are very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
The commander was very worried about Ning Hua and earnestly reminded her of everything she should pay attention to while he was away.
Ning Hua nodded while feeling depressed. She was ordered to "stay at home", but it was impossible not to feel depressed staying in the mansion every day without the commander.
"If you really find it boring, just call your friend in Austin to come and keep you company, okay?" The commander held Ning Hua's hand and said softly.
"Kingsland? Can I invite her?"
Lu Xiu smiled and stroked Ning Hua's face: "Of course, if you want someone to accompany you, just tell them directly and let Kou Li do it. His military rank is not low, and most people can't refuse him."
Ning Hua also laughed: "I don't know if she is willing to come. She has a big store to manage. Besides, we haven't contacted for such a long time. Maybe she has become unfamiliar with me."
