Then I saw Li Zhen walking out from behind the door on the other side of the stage.

It has to be said that the results of the assault training in the past few days have been remarkable. He was dressed in a black sè epauletteless Secret Service Executive Officer Dress, with silver trim rolling on the cuffs and trouser lines on both sides. The silver and gold ribbons slanted from the shoulders to the chest, and the two gilded swords dangled in the light. The chest label, name tag, and seniority badge have all been put on the body, and only the double star on the shoulder is missing.

Perhaps still a little nervous, he lowered the brim of his black sè hat decorated with two rows of silver pine flowers, revealing only a pair of dark eyes and half of his face. But in this way, coupled with his tightly pursed mouth, it made this young man's body have a bit of a cold and fierce momentum.

He's a different person......

Ying Ran sighed in his heart.

On the young man who strode on the stage, where is there still the shadow of the weak and gentle in the past? He was so tall that he looked like an extremely rigid javelin, which made him hold his breath slightly.

Li Zhen walked to the front of the stage, faced the royal envoy and the old dean of the Southern Courtyard, stood still with a snap, and said loudly: "Li Zhen, report." ”

With a straight face, the dean tried to make his voice sound vigorous and powerful, and said briefly, "Stand up!" ”

There was a slight sound from the audience, and everyone gathered the look on their faces and stood up straight.

Then he said, "Take the oath!" ”

So Li Zhen raised his right hand and gently rested it on a wooden tray in the hands of the royal envoy.

There were two things on the tray.

The same is a gold imitation of the heirloom jade seal - this is the symbol of the head of state and the emperor.

The same is a jīng book with gold characters on a black background, called "The Constitutional Code of the Chinese Empire" - a symbol of zìyóu and justice.

He put his hand on the Constitution, as he had once rehearsed. Then he slowly glanced at the audience, and said in a solemn and solemn tone: "I hereby swear." ”

"I volunteered to join the Special Affairs Office of the United Empire for Greater China, Trans-East Asia, Siberia and Austria. I will abide by the Constitution of the Empire, follow the truth of fairness and justice, and defend the dignity and interests of the Empire. With my body, my blood, my soul, I am willing to fulfill my vow. ”

"I will keep in mind what I said that Jīng is loyal, patriotic, diligent and dedicated. There is no fear when fighting, and there is no tyranny when disarming. I will use the powers of force conferred upon me by the Empire and the Constitution, and I will respect my natural human rights for the rest of my life. ”

"It's an oath."

His voice was sonorous and clear. This vow, which had been repeated by almost everyone present, seemed to become blood-pumping and heart-pounding at this moment. No matter what happened afterward, who dares to say that when he was young, like Li Zhen, when he pressed the constitution and said this paragraph, he didn't really touch anything?

And so at this moment, the vast hall became silent, and only people's chests rose and fell slightly. The old dean tried to straighten his back, trying to regain the bones of his youth. With a slightly trembling hand, he took out a pair of epaulettes from the tray on the other side, in Dai Bingcheng's hand.

Then he stepped forward silently, raised his head, and matched Li Zhen.

So Li Zhen's right arm suddenly raised and saluted the first, real military salute.

God sè awe-inspiring.

There was a sound of arms raised in the hall.

The dean and Dai Bingcheng solemnly saluted them and looked at each other for two seconds. Then the thunderous applause almost toppled the roof—thunderous applause from only a few dozen people.

It was such a warm and passionate atmosphere that overwhelmed the awarding ceremony that followed.

However, there is no way around it. The Order of the Purple Star can only be awarded to active duty soldiers, and the award must be arranged after the award.

The applause stopped. The royal envoy also walked up to Li Zhen, looked at him with encouraging eyes, and slowly hung the Purple Star Medal in his hand on his chest.

"Young and promising, Lieutenant Li Zhen." The envoy stepped back and nodded slightly, "Be sure to work hard to serve the Empire." ”

Li Zhen stepped forward slightly, looked ahead, and replied, "Yes!" ”

The bronze medal hung on the chest and was somewhat heavy.

So he also felt that there was something heavy in his heart.

I've joined the Secret Service. Such a huge, silent, cold institution. Can you keep that little thing in your heart all the time? Can you become the kind of person in Kitagawa who has his own ideas and conscience?

Goals for the future...... And what is it?

To say that the family reunion has already been realized. In fact, I was pushed by one thing after another, and gradually came here. From "classmate Li Zhen" to "Lieutenant Li Zhen", it has only been more than a year.

But it was a long year. So many incredible things, so many dangerous accidents, finally made myself stand here, under the brim of my hat, looking at everyone.

So he turned his gaze and saw the resoluteness in the crowd. He smiled slightly and nodded to Li Zhen, his eyes full of encouragement.

Li Zhen calmed down a little, stood on the stage and listened to the speech of the imperial envoy with a tall and serious attitude, and took the commendation order from his hand. The envoy looked at him and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I also know your name." ”

Li Zhen was stunned, not knowing how to answer so as not to be rude. But fortunately, the envoy just nodded to him and stepped aside. After the whole process was completed, the Special Envoy and the Dean stepped down. The soldiers present saluted and applauded them, and saw off the two men through the side door, accompanied by their entourage. So only himself and Dai Bingcheng were left on the stage.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered in his heart: Huh? Didn't you have this when you first drilled?

But Dai Bingcheng had already walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, and the look on his face was a little more lively, and he was no longer as expressionless as before.

Li Zhen subconsciously saluted again. Dai Bingcheng returned the salute with a smile, put down his hand and said to Li Zhen, "You can relax a little." Now—" he glanced at everyone present, "it's all his own family in the bureau." ”

"Since they are all my own family, then I will say a few more words here." His voice was as steady and powerful as usual, "Lieutenant Li Zhen's experience is quite special, and everyone should have seen it." It can be said that he is a special talent recruited by our secret service. It's not easy, in the past few years, we have added another A-level. ”

"But don't let everyone have a burden just because Xiao Li is an A-level. Let me say that Lieutenant Li Zhen is not as experienced as all of you here. Therefore, in the future, we should learn from each other and help each other. We are a whole, and the secret service office is stronger, and your waist is harder. ”

He glanced at the audience with burning eyes: "As for today's award, I make it clear that there may be many people who are unhappy. However, I would like to remind you that the rank of Lieutenant Li Zhen was earned with his own efforts and blood. Whoever can make such achievements in the future, I Dai Bingcheng promises, who will be able to get another purple star. ”

"But......" he seemed to think the atmosphere was too serious, and smiled again, "I can't say if Your Majesty can know the name of the one who is in the Dao." ”

When Li Zhen looked at the group of future colleagues and comrades-in-arms in the audience, he found that the solemn and solemn sè on their faces had indeed weakened a lot. Some even started laughing and talking to each other and then looked at him.

"Alright, that's all for now." Dai Bingcheng put his hands on the stage and said into the microphone, "Next, it's time for us to pick up the wind and wash the dust for this newcomer." ”

The people below laughed good-naturedly. Li Zhen also tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't know what the future boss planned to do.

Dai Bingcheng waved his hand: "I know that there must be many people who are still unconvinced." It's okay – as usual, tonight, let's have a good try! ”

Competition...... Competition? Li Zhen looked at Dai Bingcheng in a daze, and then at the colleagues in the audience - many of them showed "ill-intentioned" smiles on their faces, and glared at him "with tigerish eyes".

What to try? Won't you be telling me...... You've got to have a fight on the first day, right?

Then I heard Dai Bingcheng's next sentence: "Dissolve now." Half an hour later, we will meet at the West Cafeteria! ”

Everyone in the audience let out a burst of uneven cheers, and someone shouted: "Lieutenant Li, see you or leave...... Hahaha! ”

"Boss Gao, let me tell you, people can't look good, you ...... careful"

“…… Last year's rookie king was the king of newcomers, and this year's one can't be guaranteed! ”
