The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth: 8. Brandon
Ji Ling raised his chin and looked at them provocatively.
When the soldiers behind Ning Yu heard this, their eyes were red with anger, and they stared at Ji Ling desperately, wanting to beat him to death on the spot!
Seeing that the tension between the two sides was getting stronger and stronger, and when the swords were on the verge of breaking out, one of the soldiers suddenly turned around and stood at attention, raised his hand and bowed to the direction behind Ji Ling, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Marshal!"
Everyone was startled when they heard the sound, and then stood at attention and saluted. Seeing the awe-inspiring expressions of the soldiers, they knew Brandon's absolute prestige in the army!
Although Ji Ling knew that he was coming, he subconsciously tightened his body, and slowly turned his head, and saw the tall and ruthless man standing not far behind him.
His powerful body is wrapped in a meticulous black military uniform, his features are cold and deep, and a pair of sharp eyebrows and eyes are exposed under the brim of the hat. In the gray pupils that are always cold, it seems that extremely complicated emotions are deeply suppressed, like mountain rain. Want to come in general.
Roz almost fainted from fright. Seeing Marshal Brandon like this, he is extremely angry! He really heard what he said just now!
The soldiers who were so humiliated and angry just now looked at Ji Ling gloatingly when they saw this, showing sarcasm and disdain: Aren't you very arrogant just now? He also said that His Majesty the Marshal will not do anything to you? There is no self-awareness at all! Your Excellency the Marshal gets angry, but he doesn't care what your status is, even His Majesty is polite to your Excellency the Marshal, what do you mean to him?
Of course Ji Ling understood this, but he displayed his ignorance and fearlessness in a professional manner, as if he didn't see Brandon's gloomy eyes at all, and said carelessly: "Your Excellency Brandon, how dare your subordinates Disrespect to me as a nobleman! Should you give me an explanation?"
Roz's face was ashamed when he heard the words. He finally gave up the treatment completely, and only hoped that he could go back alive today...
The others all looked at Ji Ling with idiot-like eyes, maybe they were either stupid or crazy.
Do you still dare to ask Your Excellency the Marshal to explain to you?
Only Ji Ling is fearless! Satisfiedly waiting for Brandon to order someone to throw him out.
Although the consequences are embarrassing and loss of identity, isn't this the effect I want? He is not worried that his life will be in danger, it is nothing more than embarrassment... Although Brandon is a ruthless iron-blooded soldier, but because of this, he is a person of principle in essence, although he will deal with himself severely because of disgust and anger , but since he is still only talking about it, he will not kill himself.
Compared to the ruthless and black-bellied Carlos and the vicious and vicious Wen Yan, Shi Ji Ling is actually more open-minded when facing the protagonist's camp. He is a typical bully and fear of evil.
Brandon stared at the young man with his chin raised in front of him, his eyes fell into his clear blue eyes, the expression in his eyes darkened a little, and the tight jaw showed that he was not at peace in his heart. After a long time, he slowly opened his lips and uttered a low-pitched word: "You..."
Everyone is nervous.
Ji Ling pricked up his ears, wanting to hear how he planned to slap himself in the face next, when a stout and fat figure suddenly rushed over at an extremely fast speed! It stood in front of Ji Ling like a mountain! With a loud roar: "Marshal calm down!"
Ji Ling: "???"
Roz: "???"
Soldiers: "???"
Lieutenant General Hawke firmly guarded Ji Ling behind him, like an old hen guarding his cubs, and shyly let out a flattering laugh: "Your Excellency, Young Master Ji didn't do it on purpose, he was just joking, don't you Angry..."
As soon as Lieutenant General Hawk finished speaking, he saw an undisguised cold murderous intent suddenly appearing in Brandon's eyes! The fat body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead...
But remembering the order of Grand Duke Carlos, he gritted his teeth without moving, and stood there motionless, waving a hand behind him, and the corner of his eye signaled Ji Ling and Ross to leave quickly!
Ji Ling frowned slightly. This Lieutenant General Hawke never appeared here in his last life. Why did he suddenly spoil him? He turned a blind eye to Lieutenant General Hawke's hint, and continued to provoke Brandon in dissatisfaction, pointing his finger at Ning Yu, and snorted coldly: "Who said I was joking? This pariah dares to look down on me, don't give him a little color today I will never leave!"
This action and words are extremely humiliating.
Ning Yu looked at him indifferently, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and there seemed to be a layer of frost on her handsome face.
Brandon ignored Ji Ling, but looked at Lieutenant General Hawke, and said in a low voice with a chill, "Get out of the way."
Lieutenant General Hawk could only feel a huge pressure oncoming! He didn't expect Brandon to be so angry. If he stepped aside now, Ji Ling would definitely not be able to eat and walk around today! Although he has always kept a low profile and did not want to confront Brandon hard in the army, if something happened to Ji Ling today, His Excellency Grand Duke Carlos would only make himself worse!
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Hawke's eyes were ruthless, and he said to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, anyone in the military can enter the military department? Hurry up and invite Shao Ji out!"
His subordinates understood immediately, and ignored Ji Ling's resistance, politely and forcefully pulled him out.
Ji Ling didn't expect things to turn to this point, and he was a little dumbfounded. He jumped angrily: "Who said I have to leave! Uh--"
Finally, Ross came back to his senses. His strong desire to survive prompted him to cover Ji Ling's mouth tightly, and dragged Ji Ling out with several soldiers.
Ji Ling could only stare desperately: Aww, I won't go! I'm waiting to be slapped in the face, let go of you bastards, **** it!
Brandon's eyes sank, but just as he raised his feet, he was once again blocked by Lieutenant General Hawke!
Brandon couldn't help but pause. After a while, he slowly lowered his eyes, looking at this man who was desperately blocking him, the air pressure around him was so low that it seemed to freeze the air.
Lieutenant General Hawke's smile gradually froze.
Brandon's killing intent surged in his heart. For a moment, he really wanted to kill the guy who was in the way, but the remaining rationality stopped his impulse and made him calm down slowly.
The boy's figure gradually disappeared from his sight.
Although he really wanted to chase after him, even though he really wanted to take another look, Brandon looked around, seeing everyone's eyes of awe and fear, Ning Yu's forbearing eyes, and Lieutenant General Hawke who was desperately blocking him. , he knew... he couldn't do this now.
A few days ago, he had a very, very long dream.
In the dream, after he and Jing Sui finally defeated all the enemies and created the world they wanted, many, many years have passed... It stands to reason that this life is as he wished, and the ending is also considered satisfactory, it should be No regrets, but is that really the case?
When Brandon was lying in his home, calmly waiting for his long life to come to an end, he suddenly realized that he still had regrets.
It was just that little regret, as time went by, he deliberately buried it in the deepest corner of his heart, so that he forgot it.
But at the last moment of his life, he thought about it again.
I realized that I never let go.
He is so regretful... In his memory, the lively and flamboyant young man who seemed arrogant and domineering but was actually kind and brave, burned all his love and courage, but failed to get a good ending in the end. A good age ended badly.
No one cares about his dedication, no one sees his sincerity.
Even the self who was saved by him... because of the deep-rooted prejudice in his heart, he didn't give him the reward and respect he deserved, and ignored him step by step into the abyss.
The debt to the boy was the only thing he regretted in his long life.
He is the only one he has failed.
At the last moment of his life, the seed buried deep in his heart finally germinated unwillingly, making him realize that he has not had a clear conscience in this life. If you give him another chance, he will never misunderstand him and hurt him like that again. He will protect him and take care of him, not only because of the life-saving grace, but also because he deserves to be treated kindly by others, not by everyone. Dislike hurt.
It would be great if I could see him again... It's a pity that it's too late, and this regret will eventually be taken to the grave by him.
Thinking like this, Brandon slowly closed his eyes.
Open it again, and you will go back to more than two hundred years ago.
It took Brandon several days to finally accept this fact, realize that all this was not his imagination, he was really reborn. Then an unstoppable thought crazily swept through his mind, occupying all his thoughts, that is——is Ji Ling okay?
Brandon really wanted to go to see Ji Ling directly, but he realized very clearly that there was no reason for him to go to see Ji Ling. Neither his identity nor the current situation allowed him to do whatever he wanted without any scruples, so he could only desperately suppress his inner impulse.
Be patient, be patient, wait.
Waiting for the boy to appear in front of him again.
Brandon clearly remembers that after he and Ning Yu came back from the Nador galaxy in the last life, Ji Ling came to the military headquarters to find Ning Yu’s troubles not long after he was jealous, and in the last life he was ruthless. Throwing it out from here made him faceless in public and became a joke among the nobles. He hates this kind of dude so much, they live a luxurious and depraved life in Emperor Star fearing death, but they still humiliate those **** warriors with peace of mind, this kind of person is not worthy of having everything now! Neither deserves respect!
It was the despicable and ugly side of these fallen nobles that prompted Brandon to stand on Jing Sui's side, determined to change everything.
But in this life, he is looking forward to that day so much, not because of anger and disgust, but... This is the only reasonable reason for him to see Ji Ling, and he really wants to see him again.
The urge to see Ji Ling even briefly overwhelmed the struggle with Carlos, his ideals and beliefs and everything else.
Just yesterday, Brandon was absent-minded all day nervously, and even had no intention of handling official business. He was waiting for someone to report the news of Ji Ling's arrival to him, thinking about how he should face all this.
The young man was just spoiled. He did such impulsive things because he liked Jing Sui so much. He didn't mean to hurt others. He was different from those fallen nobles. This time, I will never treat him so ruthlessly. As long as I think of seeing the boy again, how can I let him suffer a little bit of grievance? But Brandon waited for a whole day, but did not wait for Ji Ling to arrive.
Then Brandon had to realize that after he was reborn, some things had changed unknowingly, such as Carlos, such as Ji Ling.
What Carlos did has spread throughout Emperor Star. What is this sinister guy planning this time? In the last life, he killed Ji Ling, but in this life, he wooed the Ji family with great fanfare. Could it be that he wanted to use the Ji family again? Is the change in Ji Ling's behavior also related to Carlos?
Brandon's heart is heavy. He knows that even if he does it all over again, it will not be an easy task to achieve his goal, because it is full of too many variables, and some things are quietly changing.
Because of this change, Brandon thought that Ji Ling would not come.
But at this moment, he suddenly received a notification from his subordinates. Brandon immediately put down everything in his hands and rushed over without delay. He finally saw the young man he owed again. , the young man now, the flamboyance in his eyes has not faded away, so beautiful and dazzling.
In the last life, I never got to know him seriously, and only hated and disdained him. Even if I was rescued by a young man once, I still didn't change much.
What he sees is only the surface.
In the final analysis, it was his prejudice that made him unwilling to truly understand and see this person's heart. He did not discover the true pure and brave side of the young man's heart. Will understand this?
Regret and self-blame made Brandon feel complicated and heavy. When they really met, he realized that he didn't know what to say.
Even in the face of countless aliens, overwhelming enemies, and **** killing fields, he has never flinched, but he hesitated at this moment. It took a lot of courage for him to finally speak a word with difficulty.
As a result, Hawk couldn't wait to jump out to stop himself!
Brandon knew for a long time that Lieutenant General Hawke belonged to Carlos, and that he was a **** that Carlos placed in the military. Why did he suddenly jump out when he had never appeared in the previous life?
The answer is easy to guess. Only under Carlos' order can Lieutenant General Hawke come out to stop him regardless.
So, Carlos, what do you want this time?
Brandon took a deep breath, retracted his chaotic thoughts, looked at Lieutenant General Hawke coldly, and said coldly, "Lieutenant General Hawke, do you know what you are doing?"
Lieutenant General Hawke turned cold. He knew how terrifying and cold the man in front of him was, so he forced a stiff smile and said, "I know you are very angry, but nothing serious happened, just some quarrels. You There are so many adults, why bother with the same child? Besides, it's not worth offending Grand Duke Ji Ting for this, isn't it?"
Brandon's eyes were cold.
Lieutenant General Hawke's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, just when he was worried...
He heard Brandon say word by word: "You, you can do it yourself."
Lieutenant General Hawke froze for a moment, then quickly bent down, the muscles on his face were slightly stiff because of fear: "Yes, I know."
Lieutenant General Hawke's heart: Your Excellency Brandon is so angry, it seems that he is really angry, this matter must be reported to His Excellency Carlos!
In the hearts of the soldiers: Your Excellency Brandon actually made Lieutenant General Hawke unable to step down in public, and he didn't give any face. It seems that he is really angry!
Ji Ling has already left.
Lieutenant General Hawk also left in fear.
Brandon finally turned his gaze to Ning Yu who was at the side, and a complex expression flashed in the depths of his eyes.
This was the person he admired the most in his previous life. Ning Yu was an excellent fighter, a noble idealist, and also his comrade in arms who fought side by side. Although he was born as a commoner, he is not inferior to any nobleman. There is no doubt about his strength and excellence.
An excellent fighter should not be overwhelmed by his background, so Brandon has never hesitated to support him, and Ning Yu has never failed to live up to his expectations, completing every mission very well. In fact, I just provided an opportunity, and everything in Ning Yu's present situation was won by himself.
Ning Yu used his own strength to prove to the whole world that common people are no worse than any nobles, what they lack is enough fairness.
All these things once attracted him so much that for a while, this kind of appreciation turned into a kind of hazy liking, but then...?
Brandon thought about it carefully.
After Carlos' death, he was busy cleaning up the traitors, and worked with Jing Sui to rectify and reform. The long-suffering ills of the empire will not end with the simple death of a Carlos, they still have a long way to go.
He originally thought that after Ji Ling died, Jing Sui and Ning Yu would be together, but to his surprise, the two ended their relationship by coincidence. In the end, they did not become lovers, but became friends. Or rather - a partner for a common purpose and moving forward, nothing else.
It was also at this time that he realized that perhaps he had never really understood Ning Yu.
It stands to reason that Ning Yu is not with Jing Sui, he should be happy, but in fact he is not, he calmly and indifferently buried the budding relationship, and never mentioned it again.
Ji Ling's death seemed insignificant and insignificant...but quietly changed many things.
He may have never been sure of his feelings for Ning Yu, nor his complicated feelings for Ji Ling, but there is one thing that Brandon is absolutely sure of in this life.
That is, if Ji Ling is really as unbearable as he shows, how can he have the courage to do such a thing, and resolutely appear in front of him when everyone gives up...
I am the one who owes the other party. In this life, I will not hurt him again, nor will I give anyone a chance to hurt him again.
Brandon looked at Ning Yu with apologetic eyes, and said hoarsely, "You have been wronged."
Ning Yu's gentle green eyes were calm, with a trace of calmness and ease, he smiled and said: "You know, it's nothing."
For this kind of humiliation, he and many civilians like him have long been used to it.
Ning Yu was surrounded by a few good friends, all of whom were partners with him through life and death. Hearing this, he was filled with grief, indignation and helplessness, and they all vented their dissatisfaction with Ji Ling.
"Marshal, you don't know how hateful that scumbag is!"
"We are desperately fighting for them, but he can humiliate us and look down on us like this, why should he!"
"It's so disappointing and angry!"
"If it wasn't for Lieutenant General Hawke to stop me, even if I didn't want my life, I would kill him first!"
"Isn't he a nobleman? I earned a life for another life!"
Brandon looked at his indignant subordinates with complicated expressions and inner conflicts and pain. Ning Yu should not get used to this kind of treatment because of his background. It is unfair, but this time... he cannot give him a justice.
Not only that, seeing these people belittle and humiliate Ji Ling so much, a trace of anger even appeared in his heart.
You don't know anything, you don't know how brave that boy is in his heart, he is not like what you said, he is different from those despicable and depraved nobles.
You don't know anything!
Brandon clenched his right hand, and suddenly said: "Enough!"
Brandon's thunderous anger caused everyone to shut up and show fearful eyes. They rarely saw His Excellency the Marshal so angry, because there are few things in this world that can move the Marshal...
It seems that Your Excellency the Marshal also can't get used to this kind of empire moth, right? When they were thinking uneasy, they saw...
Brandon glanced at them, with a cold expression and thin lips tightly pursed, and said in one word: "It is a kind of prejudice to judge a person easily from the surface, do you understand?"
Ning Yu suddenly raised his eyes, flashing a look of doubt.
Soldiers: "???"
Aren't you angry with Ji Ling just now?
