Chapter 25: No Freedom
I met Wang Hongqi of the General Administration again at noon the next day, or in the office of the small building where we first met. The same arrangement, the same inconspicuous bald old man.
It was as if time and space had been thrown back in time.
I came to the office alone, and sat down in front of this master who was praised by my master as very likely to be the best in the world, quite apprehensive, and his gentle smile relieved most of my nervousness, and invited me to chat a little in front of the sand in the reception area, he patted the sand armrest and said: "Xiao Chen, your cousin in the past two years has surprised me, especially recently, whether it is the death of Tingxia Zhuma or the fall of King Wumu. To tell you the truth, you've impressed me! ”
The two things he said are the proudest things I have done today, but I can still say it in front of others, but in front of Mr. Wang, there is really nothing to brag about, and I sincerely said that it was just a coincidence, not that I can really overwhelm my opponent.
After the conversation, he asked with great interest about the details of the incident, which was the same as my master.
The boss asked. Where do I dare to hide the slightest, and at the moment I also talked about the source of the whole thing with him one by one, until I and the Seven Swords cut King Wumu down in the veins deep in Taihang Mountain, the king Hongqi suddenly said to me: "Xiao Chen, I don't have anything else to say, but there is one thing you are likely to be wrong, that is, the pavilion is off the horse or hired to kill you, but your uncle Yinghua Zhenren may not have been killed by him, nor did it be hired by King Wumu." ”
I nodded and said bitterly, "Yes." I combed through the whole thing afterwards, and I actually had this idea, but I still don't have any idea who the murderer is. ”
I actually have some reservations when I say this.
In fact, I already have some thoughts in my heart, that is, the death of Yinghua Zhenren may be related to some people in the Maoshan Sect, and it is even likely that it was done by someone familiar to Yinghua Zhenren, but this will involve the internal struggle of my Maoshan Sect, and I will not take the liberty of putting it on the table before there is no factual basis.
Wang Hongqi seems to have some opinions on this topic, but for some reason, he doesn't want to continue to have a deep conversation with me. That's it.
The two continued to chat, and the old man in front of me actually had a heart that understood the world, as well as a perceptive gaze, and asked him a question on a whim, that is, since he knew that a wealthy family like King Wumu would have a lot of problems, why didn't he move in advance and serve them to a pot. But to wait for things to break out, and then add fuel to the fire, and follow the trend?
When I said this, I suddenly remembered that these words seemed to have some accusations, and it was really offensive to use such an attitude to a superior of his status and status.
But when I said it, I didn't regret it, because that's what I've always wanted to know.
Obviously, the General Administration can actually intervene in many things and can prevent them, but it has not done anything, and such a thing can even be traced back to the defeat of the Ludong locust plague.
It's what I care about, so I'm looking forward to this senior and giving me an answer.
Wang Hongqi looked at my serious eyes, sighed, and said with a tired face: "Holding on to it is not as good as that; It cannot be kept for a long time. The house is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it; Rich and arrogant, self-blame. Retired after becoming famous, the way of heaven - do you know the truth of this? ”
I nodded, and then said: "This is the words of the ninth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, which says that everything should not be done too perfectly, otherwise it will backfire and cause trouble in life. ”
Wang Hongqi nodded in appreciation, and then said: "This is just one of the meanings, our Chinese ancestors, thousands of years ago appeared Taiji yin and yang fish such a wonderful thing, but also pointed out a truth, that is, everything has black and white, white in black, black in white, this is balance - solitary yin does not grow, only the yang does not grow, only balance, is the foundation of all things, if you really come to my position, maybe you will understand this truth better, will know in this world, It's never as simple as you think, and there will be countless involvements that make you unable to fulfill your wishes. ”
His words revealed a state of exhaustion, which reminded me of a thing, that is, the top masters above the legendary court, their cultivation is actually related to the dragon vein, and this so-called dragon vein is the direction of righteousness in the dynasty, and the specific matters, I have no way of knowing this realm, I only know one thing, that is, even at the level of Wang Hongqi, there are countless obstacles in the body, and it is difficult to be free.
This kind of life is really tasteless, but I can understand his suffering, if you want to realize your ideals and repay your losses, you have to act under such a system of rules, debauchery may be more free, but the ambition of "reaching and helping the world" will never be realized.
I'm not stupid, Wang Hongqi said this, but he also knows a lot of inside information.
Any class has a conflict of interest, no one can escape this cobweb-like relationship, and if you want to do things, you can only work hard and grasp the direction where we expect.
Because whether it is Wang Hongqi, or me, or children like Lin Qiming, our dream is to make the world a little better.
Speaking of this, the two of them are basically of the same mind, and then Wang Hongqi said to me: "Xiao Chen, I know that the incident three years ago hit you very hard, so I didn't keep you before, and even felt that giving you a few years to precipitate was also of great help to you, during this time I think it can actually be a little longer, you may be able to grow to the position I expect, replace me, and become the person in charge of the religious affairs bureau, but I see you again today, and I feel almost, you are compared to before, There have been radical changes......"
In the face of Wang Hongqi's reputation, I really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said modestly: "Mr. Wang, you have won the award, I ......"
Wang Hongqi waved his hand, and then said: "In fact, the reason why I am looking for you is because there are almost no more people available, you also know the incident at the beginning of this year, many old comrades have died in this vigorous battle, many key departments have been scattered, we have to choose some inexperienced newcomers, but you should also know that compared to the hidden evil spirit sect, this at the beginning of the year is just an appetizer, so I hope you can come back and rebuild the special service group, Even the reorganization of the General Directorate of Operations Department, play a more important role! ”
I said with some hesitation: "Mr. Wang, I'm afraid I'm not up to the ......"
Wang Hongqi leaned forward, put his hands on the coffee table, and a pair of dark and godless eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and smiled at me: "What, are you afraid of challenges?" ”
In the face of such a radical method, I finally smiled, stretched out my hand and shook Wang Hongqi and said: "Thank you Mr. Wang for your trust, Zhicheng is willing to do his best and serve his ideals!" ”
Wang Hongqi laughed and said: "What a 'service ideal', such words are more moving than any words, Xiao Chen, I am really optimistic about you, and I am looking forward to your future performance more and more, the specific things of the special service group, you go to Xiao Song to discuss, any needs, as long as the General Administration can meet you, there will be no problem." ”
I said cautiously: "Mr. Wang, I have some ideas about the candidates for the special service group in the past few years......
Wang Hongqi said with a smile: "Seven Swords, I have read the report of your battle with King Wumu, and I heard you talk about it just now, it is hard to imagine that such a group of young people can burst out with such a huge strength." Killing King Wu Mu, such a feat can already make them famous all over the world, even if you don't open your mouth, I will let you bring these children in, but you can't snatch them away from others - the Religious Affairs Bureau is ours and yours, but in the end, the future is still theirs! ”
I had a good conversation with Wang Hongqi, after leaving this small building, I came out and saw the seven swords in the nearby corridor, Zhang Liyun, Little White Fox and Buyu The three old men were fine, and the other four newcomers came to this mysterious headquarters for the first time, they were really a little excited, I saw Lin Qiming sweating with excitement, and said with a smile: "What, are you nervous?" ”
Lin Qiming said to me happily: "Teacher Chen, do you know, just now I saw the same name as you, he was so kind, he told me that I am now famous all over the world, many people in the General Administration have heard of me, and invited us to drink ......tea for a while."
I looked at Zhang Liyun with some surprise and said, "Ah, Zhao Chengfeng has been here?" ”
Zhang Liyun nodded calmly and said: "Well, I came over to say hello just now, and I was very enthusiastic, saying that I wanted to wait for you to talk to General Manager Wang, please have dinner, and treat your old colleagues and us well." ”
I smiled slightly, in fact, I have been in the Second Division Operations Department for so long, and Zhao Chengfeng, who was born in Longhu Mountain, has always been a little disagreeable, whether it is the concept of doing things or the means of competition, they are a little different, but these things Lin Qiming and a few newcomers don't know, so being able to be treated like this legendary leader is actually a thing worth exciting.
I didn't break it down, but said solemnly to everyone in front of me, "Everyone, I announce something. ”
Everyone looked at me in unison.
I looked at this familiar or new face, but my mind overlapped with another group of people, and tears were about to well-up unconsciously, and then I slowly announced in a solemn accent: "Today, the Operations Department of the Second Division of the General Administration, the special service group, has been established again!" ”
