si-mexico #200 - Why didn't you kill him?
#200 - Why didn't you kill him?
Fang Qianfeng didn't understand, and Yan Ba was equally puzzled.
The Imperial Guards started at the ninth rank.
Most soldiers were also of the ninth rank. Once they reached the eighth rank, they could compete for the position of squad leader.
A sixth-rank martial artist could basically become a mid-level officer like Fang Qianfeng.
Those with good connections, strong backgrounds, and the ability to curry favor could even become mid-to-high-level officers!
Now, a mere soldier had actually reached the sixth rank.
Such a situation was simply unheard of in the Imperial Guards!
Wu Huan, Wang Quan, and Qian San were equally stunned.
The three of them stared blankly.
After a long while, Wu Huan exclaimed:
"Good heavens! No wonder I couldn't beat Liang Jin back then."
"Turns out this kid was hiding so deeply; he's already at the sixth rank!"
"Speaking of which, when did he train to the sixth rank? How come I didn't notice?"
Although Wu Huan had basically never paid attention to Liang Jin before, treating him like an invisible man,
he had the impression that Liang Jin wasn't the type of martial arts fanatic.
This made Wu Huan unable to understand when Liang Jin had secretly practiced martial arts and grown without anyone noticing,
to the point where he was now making a name for himself!
Liang Jin stood, coldly looking at Fang Qianfeng with disdain:
"As the captain of the Imperial Guards, you can't even use the Imperial Guards' basic skill, 'Imperial Guard Long Fist'."
"A captain of the Imperial Guards like you is truly embarrassing."
Fang Qianfeng was so angry that he almost spat blood.
In his entire life, had he ever been reprimanded like this?
"You!"
He glared at Liang Jin but couldn't refute him.
As a captain, being unable to defeat even a soldier
was already extremely embarrassing.
Furthermore, Fang Qianfeng really felt that Liang Jin's 'Imperial Guard Long Fist' had been practiced to a much higher level than his own, even much higher.
To the point where Fang Qianfeng was completely crushed.
But the 'Imperial Guard Long Fist' was a common, basic martial art. Who would spend a lot of time and energy to painstakingly practice this Yellow-rank martial art?
Fang Qianfeng's face flushed red. He pushed away the subordinates who were trying to support him and wanted to compete again.
But Liang Jin's large hand had already reached out.
He grabbed the Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao, who was trying to escape when he saw things going wrong.
"Want to run?"
The Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao hurriedly pleaded for help from Fang Qianfeng and Yan Ba:
"Lord Fang! Hall Master!"
"Save me!"
Immediately,
Fang Qianfeng and Yan Ba spoke at the same time.
Fang Qianfeng:
"Liang Jin, you give me—"
Yan Ba:
"Boy, if you dare—"
Neither of them had finished speaking.
Liang Jin's hand had already pierced into the Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao's eye socket.
Fresh blood splattered!
Liang Jin used two fingers to forcefully pull out the Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao's eyeball and throw it on the ground.
As Liang Jin released his hand,
the Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao immediately covered his eye, which had become a bloody hole, rolling around on the ground and screaming incessantly.
Such a scene was truly terrifying!
Seeing this, Ji Zhong and his wife couldn't stop trembling.
They had just chatted with Liang Jin for a while and only thought that Liang Jin had a good temper.
But now, seeing this, this person was simply ruthless and too cruel!
On the other hand, Ji Fei, upon seeing this scene, not only wasn't afraid but was instead excited and thrilled.
He looked at Liang Jin with increasing admiration.
In the future, he wanted to become a man like that!
Hiss!
Fang Qianfeng and Yan Ba also gasped simultaneously.
Neither of them had expected Liang Jin to be so ruthless.
This made their expressions extremely ugly.
Liang Jin looked directly at the two of them and asked:
"You two, what were you about to say just now?"
Anger surged in Fang Qianfeng and Yan Ba's eyes.
Did this kid still have the nerve to ask?
This was obviously intentional mockery!
Fang Qianfeng said angrily:
"Liang Jin, when we return to the camp, see how I report this matter to the superiors!"
Yan Ba also said fiercely:
"Boy, you have guts. The Black Tiger Gang will definitely avenge this!"
Faced with their threats, Liang Jin smiled dismissively.
He shook his head helplessly:
"I just said you guys like to talk nonsense. You really don't know how to change."
"If you're not convinced, I'm standing right here. Do as you please."
Fang Qianfeng and Yan Ba knew that they wouldn't gain any advantage in a war of words.
They admitted that they couldn't beat Liang Jin.
But they weren't afraid!
Liang Jin was very capable.
But what was the use of being capable?
Out here, you needed power and a background!
Liang Jin had nothing. There would be plenty of ways to deal with him in the future.
At this moment,
a voice was heard behind the crowd:
"Make way! Make way!"
"Everyone, make way quickly! Don't block the door!"
The voice was full of impatience.
Fang Qianfeng, Yan Ba, and the members of the Black Tiger Gang turned their heads unhappily to see who dared to interrupt at this time.
But when the crowd saw the newcomer, their expressions changed involuntarily.
Fang Qianfeng hurriedly saluted a majestic middle-aged man:
"Camp Commander!"
And Yan Ba also bowed to a kind-looking old man:
"Master Wen!"
The newcomers were actually the Imperial Guard Camp Commander Xi Rong and the true boss of the Black Tiger Gang, Wen Yinan.
No one had expected these two big figures to appear at the same time!
But they quickly saw a young man following behind them.
Xue Feng!
The moment they saw Xue Feng, everyone seemed to understand.
Xue Feng's family background wasn't simple, and only he could invite these two big figures at the same time.
But the crowd was even more puzzled.
What did Xue Feng intend to do by inviting these two big figures?
Could it be…
The crowd looked at Liang Jin in horror.
Xue Feng wanted to support this soldier?!
Liang Jin was also slightly surprised.
He had originally planned to find the Underworld Dragon Sect's mole to clean up the mess after causing trouble.
But why was Xue Feng appearing here?
Just as everyone was puzzled,
Camp Commander Xi Rong had already spoken in a deep voice:
"Fang Qianfeng, what are you doing here?"
Fang Qianfeng hesitated, pondering how to speak.
Xi Rong had already shouted:
"As the captain of the Imperial Guards, do you want to get involved in these civilian disputes?"
"Look at your capabilities. Have you forgotten your duty?"
"All of you, get back to the camp!"
"If you don't want to enjoy your vacation, go back and train!"
After saying that, Xi Rong turned around and left.
How dare Fang Qianfeng disobey his superior's orders?
Furthermore, he understood that Xi Rong's appearance here meant that he definitely knew what had happened here.
Xi Rong's words were clearly biased.
Fang Qianfeng looked at Liang Jin and then at Xue Feng.
Then, he could only take his subordinates and leave in a hurry.
Wu Huan, Wang Quan, and Qian San certainly didn't dare to stay. They also quickly left.
On the other side.
Wen Yinan also smiled and scanned the entire scene.
He waved at Yan Ba.
Yan Ba hurriedly trotted over.
The next second.
Wen Yinan suddenly slapped out.
"Pa! ! !"
This slap directly sent Yan Ba spinning three hundred and sixty degrees in the air before he crashed to the ground.
Suddenly!
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Wen Yinan then struck the top of Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao's head with another palm.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a muffled sound.
Blood gushed out from Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao's mouth, nose, and ears, and his entire body collapsed limply to the ground.
He was actually dead!
Who would have thought that this kind-faced old man would directly kill someone upon making a move!
The Ji Zhong couple were so frightened that they hurriedly covered their mouths, afraid of making a sound.
After doing all this, Wen Yinan smiled and asked Liang Jin:
"Young friend, is this matter settled?"
His amiable appearance completely concealed the fact that he had just personally ended a life!
Liang Jin pointed to the Ji family:
"Don't cause them any trouble in the future, and it will be settled."
Wen Yinan smiled kindly:
"It's a deal."
After speaking, he turned and left.
The Black Tiger Gang's group of strong men did not dare to linger.
They helped up Yan Ju, whose face was already swollen high on one side, and carried Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao's corpse, quickly following Wen Yinan away.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
Xue Feng didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He nodded at Liang Jin and then left.
The Ji family, which had been crowded just now, quickly became deserted.
It was as if everything just now had never happened.
The Ji family felt as if they had just had a dream.
At this moment, they truly witnessed the horror of power.
The matter that had been causing so much trouble before.
But when the real power holder arrived, he resolved everything in the blink of an eye.
This made the Ji Zhong couple even more fearful and uneasy.
Liang Jin said:
"It's over."
"Live a good life from now on, and don't gamble anymore."
After speaking, Liang Jin was about to leave.
Ji Fei looked at Liang Jin's back and couldn't help but want to speak.
But in the end, he could only grit his teeth and silently lower his head.
He had already been rejected three times.
As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times, and he felt that he had no chance anymore.
Ji Fei could only silently follow Liang Jin out the door to see him off.
Liang Jin hadn't walked far from the Ji family when he stopped.
He sighed:
"I can't take your family's secret manual for nothing."
As he spoke, Liang Jin took out another secret manual and threw it to Ji Fei.
"After memorizing it, burn the secret manual. Do not pass it on to others, not even your parents are allowed to see it."
"Whether you can master it or not depends on your good fortune."
After speaking, Liang Jin left straight away.
This secret manual was the Xuan-level secret manual "Blood Sabre Manual."
Ji Fei's temperament was violent, unruly, and fierce.
The Red Fire Sword Sect's secret manual was a righteous martial art, and it was not suitable for him to practice.
The "Blood Sabre Manual" was originally a heretical martial art, evil and cruel, and might be suitable for Ji Fei.
Liang Jin took half of an Earth-level secret manual and returned a System Xuan-level secret manual, which was not considered owing the Ji family.
As for the weapon Blood Sabre that came with the "Blood Sabre Manual", Liang Jin would of course not give it to Ji Fei.
Ji Fei looked at the secret manual in his hand as if he had found a treasure.
He excitedly shouted at Liang Jin's back:
"I keep my word, my life is yours from now on!"
"I'll do whatever you say!"
"Even if you don't want to be my master, I will treat you as my big brother!"
"Don't look down on me for being useless now, but one day I will make you look at me with new eyes!"
Liang Jin smiled slightly.
Young people are always full of dreams.
Now that this matter was over, it was getting late.
Liang Jin went straight back to the Imperial Guard camp.
This day off ended like this.
… …
The next day.
Today was already the New Year.
The capital was filled with joy everywhere.
By evening.
Liang Jin and the others had put on their armor and went to the palace with the main force of the Imperial Guards.
The Spring Festival had little to do with them, even during the New Year, they, as Imperial Guards, still had to stick to their posts.
Today was Liang Jin's shift to be on night duty.
Along the way, Liang Jin couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart.
Wasn't the emperor going to slaughter the New Year pig today?
Hopefully, that Prince Huaiyang had already been killed by the emperor during the day.
That way, his night duty would be very easy, and there wouldn't be so much trouble in the future.
Liang Jin secretly glanced at Xue Feng.
Xue Feng was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether he was sad or happy.
The only unique thing was that his breastplate was bulging, and he didn't know what he had stuffed into it.
Soon.
Liang Jin and his party had entered the palace.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and decorations everywhere, and it was filled with joy.
During the Spring Festival, the emperor was also very busy.
Often in the early hours of the morning, the emperor would have to offer incense and kowtow in front of dozens of halls in the palace, and then accept the worship of various officials in the main hall until the afternoon.
Of course, Liang Jin had no chance to see the emperor's face, and the emperor's sacrificial activities had already ended at this time.
Normally, the emperor rarely ate with his wives and children.
Only during the New Year's Eve dinner could the emperor's family gather together.
The royal New Year's Eve dinner was very luxurious, and of course, it would not be finished in the end, and the leftovers would be given to the ministers to show favor.
During the New Year, the emperor also took a vacation.
The vacation was called "sealing the brush" and "sealing the seal". When it was time to return to work, it was called "opening the brush" and "opening the seal".
The emperor would also give out red envelopes, but generally only to the guards, eunuchs, and maids around the emperor.
Liang Jin and these Imperial Guard soldiers naturally had no chance to receive the emperor's red envelope.
The handover of the Imperial Guards had already begun.
Liang Jin quickly came to his post.
But when he arrived, he was dumbfounded:
"How… how could this be?"
Liang Jin's original post was now gathered with dozens of Imperial Guards from the previous shift.
In the corner, the big iron cage was still there.
And in the iron cage, the disheveled and dirty white fatty was curled up and shivering.
Prince Huaiyang, Zhao Yu, was actually still alive!
Didn't the emperor say that he would kill him today?
Why didn't he kill him?!
