Chapter 15 An eyesore
The next morning.
Feng Bao took the remaining ladies into the palace, and Cao Jinxing led the team back to the Zhenfu Division to hand in the task.
Liu Zhenyuan was not seen at that time, and was summoned in the evening. As soon as they met, he threw him a bottle of elixir and said:
"Captain Cao has a good way!"
“…”
Cao Jinxing wondered if this was a compliment or a sarcastic remark. Why did it sound so weird?
"Don't think too much, I'm just praising you."
Liu Zhenyuan looked at him and said, "First you beat Zhang Ying, then you took over his job. It only took you one day to make friends with Eunuch Feng in the palace... He spoke well of you to Eunuch Lu. You are capable!"
"It's just a coincidence."
Cao Jinxing was speechless. Why did he make it sound like he was going after Feng Bao and Lu Fu?
"I know."
Liu Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Otherwise, you would have been beheaded long ago! Look, this is the medicine that Eunuch Lu gave you as a reward, a fifth-grade [Creation Pill], which can not only cure all poisons, but also regenerate muscles and bones, and cure diseases and injuries. This thing is very precious, so you should use it sparingly."
"Thank you, Eunuch Lu, thank you, sir."
Cao Jinxing quickly put them away. It was never too much to prepare more life-saving supplies.
"You kid..."
Liu Zhenyuan saw how he cherished her, which was completely different from his usual arrogant attitude. He couldn't help but feel a little headache: "Do you know that you have already bothered many people?"
Cao Jinxing paused, his face full of surprise: "Who is this bothering? I am not saying that I am conscientious, but at least I am doing my job conscientiously. I will do whatever you ask me to do. How can this be an eyesore?"
He looked gloomy.
Damn it! Are you going to let me live?
Liu Zhenyuan shook his head helplessly: "What other reasons do you need to be jealous? Let's not talk about the previous ones. Ever since you came back from Crouching Tiger Ridge and attacked Zhang Ying first, the centurions of the same level must be dissatisfied. Once you set the precedent, the other centurions will have to think twice before assigning tasks, lest someone settle accounts with you later. Now you have made great contributions, made friends with the Chief of the Criminal Division, and even got the elixir awarded by Eunuch Lu himself. It's only been a few days? At this rate, I'm afraid you will be able to ride on everyone's heads in a few days. How can they not think you are an eyesore?"
"It doesn't matter."
Cao Jinxing understood: "I have already advanced to the Xiantian realm. Those who can beat me should not bother to oppose me. I don't mind those who can't beat me talking behind my back. At worst, I can send them to bed first! Then I will do the work for them one by one!"
"you!"
Liu Zhenyuan was speechless. He originally wanted to advise him to be more low-key and to blend in with the world. Being too arrogant was not a good thing.
But Cao Jinxing was not wrong.
He just can't stand others bullying him. Zhang Ying is an example of anyone who dares to bully him!
He doesn't play the game of saying sweet words but harboring a dagger in his heart. He always takes direct action!
Never bow your head, never give in, no matter it’s overt or covert, just accept it all!
Liu Zhenyuan couldn't help but show some admiration, he saw his former self in Cao Jinxing.
As the saying goes: He who is not envied by others is a mediocre person.
However, Cao Jinxing acted even more recklessly and flamboyantly. He did not take the initiative to make friends with anyone and ignored or even despised his opponents, all opponents!
"That's all."
Liu Zhenyuan said: "How are the two people I found for you doing?"
"good."
"Then officially transfer them to your command. The remnants of the Hehuan Sect robbed ladies, and the Imperial Household Department was furious, and ordered the Pacification Department to make every effort to arrest them! I originally wanted to let a captain come forward, but Eunuch Feng strongly recommended you. I see that you don't care about other people's opinions, so I'll give you this job. I'll give you five days to find their hideout for me. Can you do it?"
"I obey your orders."
Good or bad means great achievement, great achievement means great rewards, and great rewards will bring various resources.
Cao Jinxing never refused anyone who came to him.
Liu Zhenyuan said: "This matter should not be made public, so I won't send anyone to you, or someone will do something bad to you, and you can beat them on the bed again."
Cao Jinxing: “…”
Liu Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Go down."
"I'll take my leave."
Cao Jinxing clasped his fists, turned around and strode away.
"This Captain Cao is different..."
Behind the screen in the inner hall, a handsome young man in a silver-gray flying fish suit walked out. He looked at Cao Jinxing's back thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Cao Jinxing, be careful with your words and actions. Haha, he did it, but in some ways it was completely opposite, which is interesting."
Liu Zhenyuan nodded: "Yes, he doesn't look like a commoner, but rather like someone from a big sect. He is extremely confident and has the capital to be confident. Just like you."
Shen Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Like me? It's too early to say that."
Liu Zhenyuan said dimly, "He was still at the fifth level of the acquired realm five days ago."
Shen Xiang: "...Okay."
This progress is indeed exaggerated.
Shen Xiang himself is a genius that appears once in a hundred years in the Shushan Sword Sect, but he cannot break through the realms one after another in just five days, let alone break through from the acquired to the innate.
Liu Zhenyuan asked: "Do you think this person can take the position of Thirteen?"
"Do you think he's good?"
Shen Xiang frowned and thought for a while: "Let's take a closer look. The time is too short and he hasn't revealed much."
"what ever."
Liu Zhenyuan didn't care: "I have recommended the candidate, and the rest is up to you."
"Brother, it's only been one day, and you're so trusting of this guy whose temperament has changed drastically? This is not like your style."
"This is the latest secret report, please take a look."
Liu Zhenyuan threw out a piece of paper.
Shen Xiang took it and took a quick look. It was exactly what Cao Jinxing had done since he returned to Beijing.
No matter whether it is saving the civet cat Xue Liuli, saving Zhang Dajing or killing the thieves from the Hehuan Sect, everything is listed!
Liu Zhenyuan said, "Eunuch Feng went out of the palace and suddenly gained a close friend. Eunuch Lu is more concerned than anyone else. This is the intelligence obtained by the secret agents of the imperial palace. Even if there are discrepancies, the difference should not be too big. Have you figured out anything?"
Shen Xiang was shocked: "His character and aptitude are both top-notch... Only one day has passed, and he has already learned three sixth-grade spiritual weapons! He even learned the "Brassing Blade" with just a glance, this..."
Even he can't do it!
"With such talent, will the Demonic Path or other restless forces release him?"
"impossible!"
Cao Jinxing is alone and poses no threat. If he is not given enough time to develop a sense of belonging, once he is released, he will become an ally of the enemy!
“That’s right!”
Liu Zhenyuan said, "I thought it was a master who passed on his skills, but even if he did, it couldn't change his comprehension. His situation is more like the Buddhist 'enlightenment' or the Taoist 'opening of the eyes', but for this level of skills, the celestial phenomena must change, but hundreds of eyes on Wohu Mountain didn't find anything unusual, so there is only one possibility - that remote place really produced a rare spiritual object that helped him gain wisdom! With a clean foundation and an epiphany, what reason do you have to doubt him? Otherwise, why would Eunuch Lu send him a fifth-grade elixir?"
"hiss!"
Shen Xiang's scalp tingled: "I need to think about it carefully..."
"Not urgent."
Liu Zhenyuan took the document and continued to review it: "It's still early, you have plenty of time."
…
"grown ups."
As soon as Cao Jinxing walked out of the inner hall, General Flag Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang came to greet him. The two of them had been assigned to Cao Jinxing's direct command, and they would prosper together and suffer together.
"Um."
Cao Jinxing had a good impression of these two people: "Let's go to the Imperial Prison and interrogate the remnant of the Hehuan Sect."
"yes."
The three of them strode towards the imperial prison.
Along the way, many centurions looked at them with inexplicable expressions, revealing jealous and cautious expressions.
Cao Jinxing doesn't take them seriously at all. You can look at them however you want. If you dare to be sarcastic, I will send you to the hospital for ten days or half a month!
Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang already knew his temperament. Although this gentleman seemed taciturn, he actually had a violent temper that could explode at any moment.
They also turned a blind eye to everyone.
"Captain Cao! Wait!"
Just as I reached the Moon Gate, a figure chased after me from behind. It was a young centurion.
The people around immediately showed expressions of watching the fun.
Cao Jinxing turned around: "What's the matter?"
The captain smiled and said shyly, "I am Liu Sanjin. I heard that Captain Cao has an antidote, so I have a humble request..."
"Since it's an unreasonable request, there's no need to say it. I have official business to attend to. Goodbye."
"Ahhhhh!"
Liu Sanjin hurried forward to stop him, thinking to himself, I'm just being polite, why don't you play by the rules? "Captain Cao, you don't know that Captain Yan Shaoting was poisoned when he was suppressing the rebels in Huizhou a few days ago. I think..."
"You want to take my medicine, so I'd better sell yours, right?" Cao Jinxing interrupted him directly.
Liu Sanjin was stunned: "Captain Cao..."
Cao Jinxing looked annoyed: "If you pick any superior officer, I will give him my things. Then just let him come and claim the reward!"
This hat is too big.
Liu Sanjin quickly said: "No, no, no! Captain Cao misunderstood, that's not what I meant..."
"I don't care what you mean. If you want to give me a gift, go buy it yourself! I'm not your father, I have no obligation to spoil you! Get out of the way!"
Cao Jinxing shouted coldly, causing the entire courtyard to echo.
Everyone was stunned. They knew he was tough, but they didn't expect him to be so tough.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Sanjin blushed, unable to back down, and said coldly, "Captain Cao is a new official, I'm afraid he doesn't know Captain Yan's identity!"
"Do you know him? What does it have to do with me asking you to get out of here? If a dog bites me on the roadside and I want to kick it, do I need to ask its owner for his opinion?"
"you!!!"
Liu Sanjin's face turned red with anger, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Cao Jinxing.
This is a blatant slap in the face.
He was just short of pointing at him and calling him a dog.
The hundreds of soldiers around were all shocked. Cao Jinxing was so sharp-tongued that Liu Sanjin couldn't resist him at all.
"Will you get out of the way?"
Cao Jinxing became impatient and grasped the hilt of the knife with one hand. In an instant, the cold and domineering sword aura filled the entire courtyard.
He really wants to kill him!
Zhang Ying is still lying on the bed!
"Captain Cao, calm down. We are all colleagues. Why would you resort to violence?"
"Quickly pull Captain Liu away and stop him from interfering with public affairs!"
Several centurions rushed forward to separate the two men, but Cao Jinxing's aura was too strong, so they could only pull Liu Sanjin away.
Surrounded by people, Liu Sanjin became much bolder. Just as he was about to say something harsh, Cao Jinxing glanced at him coldly: "If you say another word, I will send you to accompany Zhang Ying."
Liu Sanjin: “…”
"Walk!"
Cao Jinxing strode away.
Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang behind him were dumbfounded. They were stunned for a moment before quickly catching up, leaving behind a group of stunned colleagues and Liu Sanjin gritting his teeth.
"Hahaha."
Not far behind him, under the high wall, Shen Xiang heard their conversation and couldn't help laughing: "What a Cao Jinxing!"
