Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 211 Please Show Your Valid ID
Liu Ruiqi's voice was not loud. He was wearing a spotless Red Tassel Army uniform, and his cloak fluttered behind him.
Even in such a heavy rain, his body was not wet at all, and his eyes, brighter than a mirror, were staring at the students who were making trouble.
"We just saw... some younger students running laps in the heavy rain, and we wanted to call them back." After hesitating for a while, someone finally spoke.
"Why do you want to call them back?" Liu Ruiqi asked.
"Because they will be leaving for the Star-Seeking Tower in a few days. This is the most important stage on a warrior's path to star cultivation. If they catch a cold, it will affect their condition in the Star-Seeking Tower."
Liu Ruiqi nodded and glanced at Tang Zheng and the other two who were running past him.
All the students held their breath, waiting for Liu Ruiqi's answer.
"You make a lot of sense." To the surprise of most of them, Liu Ruiqi was so easy to talk to. He nodded calmly and said, "Wait for me to go ask."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and slowly caught up with Tang Zheng .
The heavy rain never stopped, and some roads in the inner streets began to accumulate water after a night of heavy rain.
However, Tang Zheng and the other two did not stop and continued to run the 28th lap.
Liu Ruiqi followed them and ran a short distance. He put aside the question he was about to ask.
Because he found that Tang Zheng's pace was very even, as if he had entered a certain rhythm. After running three laps with him, he discovered that the time he took for each lap was exactly the same.
"What are you doing?" Liu Ruiqi asked after following into the fourth lap.
He originally thought that his sudden words might scare Tang Zheng.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng did not even turn his head, and only replied: "Carry out the punishment assigned by Instructor Li."
"Instructor Li?" Liu Ruiqi frowned and asked uncertainly, "Li Xiaoren?"
"Li Xiaoren!" Tang Zheng still didn't turn around.
Liu Ruiqi's heart moved. He didn't know Tang Zheng and the others, but what he knew was that Li Xiaoren, the chief instructor of Yisu Academy, had died in the battle in the cemetery last night.
These students appeared at the gate of the academy this morning and began to carry out the punishment assigned by Li Xiaoren. There must be something behind it.
"Are you the same students who worked with Instructor Li to kill the Demon King in the cemetery yesterday?" Liu Ruiqi followed them without any pressure. He thought for a moment before speaking.
Tang Zheng did not answer this time.
Liu Ruiqi seemed not surprised at all, and suddenly said, "I am the commander of the Red Ribbon Army of the Changyuan Leng Family, Liu Ruiqi."
"Oh, hello, General Liu. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance." Tang Zheng said politely absentmindedly.
Liu Ruiqi didn't care about his attitude and continued, "No matter what the reason is, I have the authority to stop Instructor Li from punishing you."
"I'm not a soldier. I don't have the authority to obey your orders." Tang Zheng replied indifferently. It can be heard that he was in a bad mood, worse than ever before.
"But you are a student of Yisu Academy, and Yisu Academy has now entered a wartime state. So, now, I have the right to ask you to cooperate with all my actions."
After hearing these words, Tang Zheng stopped, turned around and looked at the Red Tassel Army leader who looked quite young.
Liu Ruiqi was only slightly moved when he saw Tang Zheng's eyes.
Calm and profound, seemingly calm, yet surging...
Liu Ruiqi felt that this kind of look could only be seen on the face of a senior military officer who had experienced at least ten years of life-and-death battles, and moreover, he must have been fighting on the front lines for ten years.
This kind of look should never appear on the face of a twenty-year-old student.
"You are a character." Liu Ruiqi was just like Wang Danyang when he first met Tang Zheng . He didn't hide anything and expressed his praise generously.
"Unfortunately, Instructor Li doesn't think so." Tang Zheng stood there, looking at Jiang Wuyan and Tang Xiaotang who also stopped, and asked Liu Ruiqi: "So, what action does Commander Liu need us to cooperate with now?"
Liu Ruiqi glanced at the students of Yisu Academy who were using their star power to block the raindrops and holding clean clothes and blankets, and pointed at them.
Tang Zheng, Tang Xiaotang and the others looked over and only then noticed their presence.
Liu Ruiqi sighed, "Come on. Everyone, come here. I don't have time to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Come in and tell me clearly what happened yesterday and why Li Xiaoren wanted to leave you."
"Is this an order?" Tang Zheng also sighed.
"Yes." Liu Ruiqi nodded.
Tang Zheng said nothing more, and walked into the academy with Tang Xiaotang and the others.
…
All of them were freshmen at the academy, and were faced with the challenge of the Star-Seeking Tower—a challenge that most warriors only had one chance to overcome in their lifetime.
At times like this, they ran laps in the rain, which made their seniors worry about them.
Fortunately, no matter what method Liu Ruiqi used, he did what he promised. From the moment Tang Zheng and others entered Yisuli Academy, they were also included in the control objects and could not go out without a handwritten order.
With dry clothes to wear and a soft blanket to cover yourself with, it is still very comfortable.
However, Jiang Wuyan and Tang Xiaotang both seemed a little silent.
On the contrary, Tang Zheng, who was the most silent before entering the academy, cleaned himself up, took a deep breath, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Senior sister, what do you want to do by stripping my clothes in public?"
The senior schoolmate was quite tough. She flirted with Tang Zheng and said, "Hey, that depends on what you want to do? And... what you are capable of doing!"
The constellations behind her rose up, and three stars were shining.
Generally, there are not many three-star warriors studying in the academy. Some of them missed or failed the graduation exam in the previous year for various reasons, and some have to stay to participate in the academy's martial arts competition. However, there are more warriors who have just broken through to three stars in the new school year after graduation season.
Tang Zheng quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, no, do whatever you want."
The senior sister was not polite either. She pushed Tang Zheng onto the clean bed and changed his clothes in no time.
The other students were relieved to see that Tang Zheng was still talking and laughing. However, they still asked the doctor to check him to make sure that Tang Zheng was in good condition when he entered the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower.
After everyone in the room had left, the smile on Tang Zheng's face finally faded away.
For him, it was too easy to relieve other people's worries.
The only ones left in the room were Tang Zheng, Tang Xiaotang, Jiang Wuyan, and Liu Ruiqi.
"Then, who will speak?" Liu Ruiqi also wrung out a towel and wiped his face which was not wet by the rain.
"I've already said it once in the City Lord's Mansion, so let me say it." Tang Zheng raised his head a little weakly and asked Liu Ruiqi: "But before that, I have two questions ."
"explain."
"Are you really Liu Ruiqi? Could you please show me your military officer ID? Because what I am about to talk about involves state secrets..."
"You..." Liu Ruiqi almost said the three words "bastards" to describe Wang Danyang and the others.
He was already prepared to hear the whole story, but Tang Zheng suddenly doubted his identity. This rhythm was really uncomfortable.
However, Tang Zheng was not his subordinate after all, so he could not speak without restraint.
Therefore, he had to call two of his personal soldiers in to prove his identity. After that, Tang Zheng nodded and hummed to Liu Ruiqi like a leader reviewing the soldiers.
Liu Ruiqi had an illusion that he was the commander-in-chief of the Red Tassel Army, but how come he was suppressed by Tang Zheng in terms of momentum?
Before he could think about these questions in detail, Tang Zheng asked again: "My second question is, can we let them rest first?"
Tang Zheng was referring to Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan, who had not had a rest for about fifteen hours.
Tang Zheng is a man who has experienced the baptism of professional life, and even his ability to hold his urine has been tested over time, but Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan are different after all.
One is a girl, and the other is being trained as a disciple of the Zhaixing Sect. If they hold on any longer, something bad will probably happen.
Liu Ruiqi nodded again, and Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan also went to rest as Tang Zheng suggested.
Tang Zheng talks a lot of nonsense, but when he starts talking about business, all the nonsense suddenly stops.
He started talking about what happened yesterday morning. The cause and effect were very clear, and because he didn't need to cut to the chase, he even spoke in more detail than he did in the City Lord's Mansion.
He told everything he could about his grudges with Lan Shaoze in Wulong Town, his repeated encounters with the decadent and decadent people, how he tracked Lan Shaoze after seeing him resurrected, how he followed them into the cemetery, and everything that happened in the cemetery.
He didn't stop until the end, when he talked about Li Xiaoren's death.
Liu Ruiqi's reaction was always calm, without the shock and anger that Tang Zheng saw in the City Lord's Mansion.
After listening to Tang Zheng's story, he did not ask about the details of the demon king, but asked: "So, Li Xiaoren asked you to swear at least twenty oaths before he was willing to close his eyes and leave?"
When this matter was mentioned, Tang Zheng was blocked again and replied, "Yeah."
"Are you feeling wronged?" Liu Ruiqi asked in a steady voice.
"Fortunately...he is no longer here. Can I still bother with him?" Tang Zhengdao said.
"Don't feel wronged." Liu Ruiqi patted Tang Zheng's shoulder. "The fact that Li Xiaoren doesn't trust you so much only shows that you are really excellent!"
Tang Zheng raised his head and narrowed his eyes: "What kind of divine logic is this?"
Liu Ruiqi sighed and looked at the heavy rain outside the house: "Thank you for talking so much, little guy. Now, it's my turn to talk about Li Xiaoren's matter."
"Huh?" Tang Zheng sat up straight subconsciously: "Go ahead!"
