Chapter 42: Flat Ground Can Be Fallen
"What if I don't want to go out and wait?"
Cheng Jingling's tone was flat, but the words he said were like a depth charge, setting off a storm in the inner courtyard of the Silver Seventh Team.
Does he know what he's talking about? Are newcomers so crazy now? ”
"Even if he's not a newcomer, he's just a cloth-clothed guard, how dare he talk to the iron-clad messenger like this? Contradicting his superiors, it seems that he has not experienced the beating of the rivers and lakes! ”
"Sun Jicha is estimated to be about to teach him what rivers and lakes are!"
"Is this still an estimate? With Sun Jinxing's character, this kid has to break two ribs on the foundation. And in the future, when he is in our Iron Seventh Team, it will not be easy to mix! ”
"This Sun Jinxing is not a thing, if you have an opinion on Lin Shuwu, you will go to Lin Shuwu for trouble! What is the ability to embarrass a newcomer? ”
"Sun Jinxing is indeed not a good person, but this newcomer is also an idiot. I don't know what it means to endure for a while? Originally, it was nothing more than an embarrassment, but this time I had to suffer directly from the flesh and skin! ”
“……”
There were many people talking about each other, some were cynical, some were indignant, some stayed out of the matter, and some gloated.
But there was no one who stepped forward.
Including the Angzang man who spoke up for Cheng Jing just now, he didn't say anything at this time, but just looked at Sun Jinxing with disgust and disdain.
But the look in Cheng Jingling's eyes was not good, it was like looking at a fool.
"What did you say?" Sun Jinxing raised his eyebrows, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a cold smile, and his hand was already on the saber at his waist.
"Sun Jicha's ears are not good?" Cheng Jingling asked as if surprised, and then said quite seriously: "I said, what if I don't want to go out and wait?" What do you want to do? Did you hear me clearly this time? ”
Within the Martial Arts Guard, each rank has a minimum martial arts cultivation requirement.
The minimum requirement for the cloth guard is the refining stage of the forging realm, that is, at least the martial arts entry.
The minimum requirement for the iron-clad detective is the Forging Body Realm Shenqiao stage, and some excellent ones are even already in the Blood Refining Realm. For example, the king snake, even in the blood refining realm, is also a leader.
Among the iron-clad guards in Juma City, there are many masters of the Blood Refining Realm, but Sun Jinxing is not included among them. He is only at the stage of forging the Body Realm Divine Bridge, so Cheng Jingling is not afraid of him!
As for how Cheng Jingling knows? Naturally, it was the king snake who told him.
When the two of them were drinking and chatting before, they once talked about the Silver Seven Team, and Wang Snake told him an interesting story.
Sun Jinxing of the Silver Seventh Team and Lin Shuwu of the Iron Third Team have always been at odds, but Lin Shuwu suddenly broke through the Blood Refining Realm in the first half of this year and directly overpowered Sun Jinxing!
For most of the past six months, Sun Jinxing has often been deflated in front of Lin Shuwu.
Wang Snake jokingly reminded Cheng Jingling that Sun Jinxing was just over Lin Shuwu in front of him, and he might be angry with his teammates, especially the newcomer.
The king snake told him to be careful, and told him that if he was bullied, he should come to him.
Sure enough, I came to report today, and I just entered the door, and trouble came.
Cheng Jingling just said hello kindly, but he didn't expect to get into trouble, it's really unlucky!
However, Sun Jinxing is just forging the body realm, how can Cheng Jingling be afraid of him? What's the point of looking for a king snake to give yourself a head?
At the moment, it is directly the tip of the needle to the wheat mang, and it is the right thing to do!
The smile on Sun Jinxing's face gradually disappeared, he stared at Cheng Jingling with a gloomy expression, and said sharply: "Boy, do you know who you are talking to?!" ”
"Talking to you, don't you know who you are?" Cheng Jingling smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was still an understatement.
"You're looking for death!"
Sun Jinxing was furious! Without warning, he swung out the saber on his waist and slashed at Cheng Jingling's shoulder!
Fortunately, although Sun Jinxing angrily wanted to punish Cheng Jingling, he was not completely burned by the anger, and the knife he swung still had a scabbard and did not draw the blade.
In the exclamation of everyone in the inner courtyard, Cheng Jingling first leaned to one side and narrowly avoided the long knife that fell by the whistle. Then he used his feet hard, approached Sun Jinxing's arms with the door wide open, raised the long knife on his waist, and the handle slammed into Sun Jinxing's flank!
"Gross!"
Originally, this powerful and heavy slash was dodged by Cheng Jingling, and the unexpected Sun Jinxing was a little unstable on his feet, and then he was smashed under the ribs by the handle of Cheng Jingling's knife, and Sun Jinxing directly fell to the ground with weak legs!
Plop –
Sun Jinxing slapped straight on the ground, kicking up a puff of dust, which stunned everyone watching the play in the inner courtyard.
No one expected this to be the result!
I thought that this newcomer boy would be taught a hard lesson, but I didn't expect that it would be Sun Jinxing, the iron-clad messenger, who finally lay on the ground like a dead dog!
"Ho, ho, ......" Sun Jinxing had severe pain in his ribs, and his head and face were covered with cold sweat, but because he couldn't say a word because of his anger, he couldn't even move, so he could only lie on the ground and keep twitching and trembling.
Whoa—
The sound of a knife being drawn sounded.
I saw that the two cloth-clothed messengers directly pulled out the cloud cutting knife on their waists, and the blade was aimed at Cheng Jingling, and roared angrily: "What are you doing? How dare you commit the following crimes! Do you want to die? ”
These two people were obviously Sun Jinxing's subordinates, and after yelling at Cheng Jingling, he shouted to the people around him: "What are you still looking at? He committed the next offense, attacked the iron-clad messenger, and didn't hurry up and take him down! ”
Before everyone in the courtyard could react, the door of the internal investigation room was opened.
I saw Li Jinsheng walking out of it with sleepy eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you arguing about?" What a noise early in the morning! What are you arguing about here!? ”
After glancing left and right, Li Jinsheng noticed Cheng Jingling standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Jingling is here?" Come in, come up to my room and get your paperwork done. ”
Hearing Li Jinsheng's words, the two cloth-clothed guards who were about to report the arrest and arrest of the "murderer" were directly dumbfounded. They looked at each other, shut their mouths, and then silently withdrew their sabers.
Even Sun Jinxing, who was lying on the ground and convulsing, stiffened his body.
At this time, Li Jinsheng seemed to notice Sun Jinxing lying at Cheng Jingling's feet, frowned and asked, "Who is that lying on the ground?" What are you doing lying on the ground? Hurry up! ”
When the incident was spoken, Sun Jinxing struggled to get up even though the pain under his ribs was unbearable.
Seeing that it was Sun Jinxing, Li Jinsheng's brows tightened a little, and he said angrily: "Sun Jicha, what are you doing lying on the ground?" ”
"I, I ......"
Sun Jinxing was in pain and angry, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only glance at Cheng Jingling and lowered his head.
"Li Jicha, Sun Jicha just fell on his heels," Cheng Jingling kindly explained for Sun Jinxing, and said with a smile: "Sun Jicha is very enthusiastic, I took the initiative to greet me as soon as I came, as if you still want to give me a hug?" I wasn't used to it, so I dodged it, but I didn't expect Sun Jicha to fall directly to the ground. It's still my fault, if I hadn't dodged it, Sun Jicha wouldn't have fallen so big. ”
"Can you fall on flat ground?" Li Jinsheng glanced at Cheng Jingling angrily, glared at Sun Jinxing fiercely, and reprimanded: "Sun Jicha, why didn't you find out that you were so enthusiastic before?" Next time, be careful when walking, and find a secluded place to fall. Don't lie in front of the courtyard gate, be embarrassed! ”
"Poof!"
Uncontrollable laughter rang out one after another, and most of the people in the courtyard lowered their heads and their shoulders kept shaking.
"And you! What are you looking at here? Idle? Give me all the work! After scolding the others again, Li Jinsheng finally looked at Cheng Jingling, and said in a much softer voice: "Okay, Jingling, come on, I'll file it for you." ”
Cheng Jingling strode inside, and no one dared to come out to stop him this time.
When the door of the emergency room was closed, the courtyard suddenly sounded like a buzzer, and everyone whispered while quietly looking at Sun Jinxing.
Sun Jinxing's face was pale, and he could only go back to the room of the Iron Fourth Team with the support of the two cloth-clothed guards, and then closed the door slamming the door, isolating the sound outside.
In the arrest room, Li Jinsheng sat directly behind his desk after coming in, looked up at Cheng Jingling, and said angrily: "Jingling, I don't see it, you still have such an arrogant side?" ”
"Arrogant?" Cheng Jingling raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile for some unknown reasons: "Uncle Li thinks that I shouldn't have dodged or avoided just now, and stabbed him?" ”
"That's not what I meant." Li Jinsheng shook his head.
Without waiting for him to continue, Cheng Jingling said again: "Then Uncle Li thinks that I shouldn't have a conflict with Sun Jicha, and when he asked me to wait outside, I should go out honestly?" ”
"I do think you shouldn't have a conflict with him, but I don't want you to be honest." After Li Jinsheng pondered for a while, he explained: "You can tell him that you came to me to report, and he won't embarrass you." I mean, you could have avoided a conflict with him. Jing Ling, Uncle Li is not holding grievances for him, Uncle Li thinks that on the first day of reporting, it will not affect you well if you go out and beat your superiors. ”
"Understood, I understand what Uncle Li meant, and I know that Uncle Li has good intentions," Cheng Jingling nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "But what did I do wrong?" I happily came to report for the job and greeted everyone kindly, but he suddenly rushed out to trouble me and embarrassed me, did I do something wrong? I'm not bullying others, I just don't want to be bullied, is it arrogant? ”
Li Jinsheng was speechless by Cheng Jingling's series of rhetorical questions, and fell silent for a while.
After a pause, seeing that Li Jinsheng's expression seemed to be a little bad, Cheng Jingling slowed down his tone and said, "Uncle Li, I know that you are for my good, and you don't mean to blame me." I also know what the most correct solution to things looks like, it's just ...... Let me tell you something about when I was a child.
When I was a child, there was a child who always bullied me, robbed me of food, asked me to work for him, ran errands for him, and beat me and scolded me. I tried to resist, but I was weak every time. Later, I mixed better than him and used my means to make him miserable.
Now that I'm a member of the Guard, the future is bright, and he's still a slave, and the future is bleak. However, he who bullied me when I was a child lives forever in my memory. I was weak when I was bullied, and I can't erase it from my memories. No matter what I do to him later, it can't change the fact that I cowardly retreated when I was bullied by him.
Later, I always wondered, what would I do if I fought back? Maybe he won't dare to bully me anymore, and I won't have to suffer so much and suffer so many crimes. I was cruel and remorseful, but it didn't work, it had happened, and people could never change the past.
So since then, I have known that if the gap between the people who bully you is too big, it is a reality that cannot be changed. But if you can fight back, you must fight back, even if you are beaten and suffer, don't let yourself regret it. Otherwise, the memory of humiliation will become a sharp thorn in your memory, which will sting you from time to time for countless days and nights, torturing you to sleep. ”
After listening to Cheng Jingling's story, Li Jinsheng remembered his former identity: private slave.
Those who climb up from the bottom seem to have one characteristic: cautious, vindictive, easily provoked and reckless, and attach great importance to their dignity and personality.
One of the more representative professions is eunuchs.
The little eunuchs are often more able to bear the burden of humiliation and spit on their own faces, and for them, the most worthless thing is their own dignity and personality.
But when they are developed and become great eunuchs, dignity and personality will become the most important things for them. If someone dares to trample on their dignity, their means of revenge will be extremely cruel and even perverted.
Suddenly, Li Jinsheng understood Cheng Jingling's mentality.
"Sit, sit!" Raising his hand to signal Cheng Jingling, who was a little excited, to sit down, Li Jinsheng got up and poured a cup of tea in front of him, and said gently: "I'm not blaming you, it's just a Sun Jinxing, just beat it." Besides, you didn't do it directly, he didn't hit you and fell to the ground, so I can't blame you. I just think, if jade doesn't touch with stone, why should porcelain fight with crockpots? It's not worth it for you to bother with him. Alas...... That's it, that's it, it's over, there's no need to say more. ”
Cheng Jingling took the tea handed by Li Jinsheng, took a sip, and then said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Li." ”
Li Jinsheng smiled with satisfaction, then took out a few pages from his desk, put them in front of Cheng Jingling, and instructed, "Come, let's get down to business." This is the Ping Wu Oath, and you need to copy it again. Normally, it was Lin Shuwu, the iron-clad detective of your team, who took you and asked you to read it out under the statue of Lu Gong, and we will be exempted from some trivial processes. This is a blood book, you can bite your finger and press a handprint with finger blood. This is your promotion document, just sign it, and you will use it every time you get promoted in the future. ”
Cheng Jingling took it and looked at them one by one.
Pingwu oath is written some very official words, what swear allegiance to the imperial court will never betray, vow to use his life to maintain the majesty of justice, rectify the order of the rivers and lakes, etc., with only more than 100 words, all written are some unbinding slogans.
Cheng Jingling waved his pen and finished copying it after a while.
took the Pingwu oath transcribed by Cheng Jingling, and Li Jinsheng also discovered his excellent calligraphy of his own school, which was naturally a good compliment.
The blood book is similar to a contract, which records Cheng Jingling's identity information, saying that he voluntarily joined the anti-military guard and must not betray him.
Cheng Jingling looked at it casually, and then conveniently pressed the bloody fingerprints.
As for the promotion document, it is a personal file, recording Cheng Jingling's identity information, portrait, and who introduced him to the anti-military guard at what time, and there are promotion experience and meritorious records below, but now these two are still blank.
Finally signed the promotion documents, Li Jinsheng combined the Pingwu oath, the blood book, and the promotion documents, and after carefully putting them away, he said to Cheng Jingling with a smile: "Okay, you are now officially a member of the anti-military guard!" Welcome to Vigilante! ”
