#251 - The fourth clone
After hesitating again and again.
Fang Qianfeng's rationality still prevailed.
“Liang Jin, I'll see how you die in the future!”
Fang Qianfeng could only utter a harsh threat, then stomped his foot and turned to leave.
Seeing that their leader, Fang Qianfeng, had conceded, the imperial guards couldn't help but look disappointed.
Some even complained:
“What's going on? He's leaving already?”
“Director Fang, don't ask us to help you stand up for yourself in the future.”
“Exactly! We came with you to teach your subordinates a lesson, but you were the first to back down. How boring!”
“If you don't dare to come for real, then don't ask us to come over. I'm really fed up with you.”
… …
Obviously, they had a lot of complaints about Fang Qianfeng's decision.
But since Fang Qianfeng had given up, there was no point in them staying.
“Kid, consider yourself lucky!”
They glared at Liang Jin hatefully and could only follow Fang Qianfeng away.
Liang Jin looked at the departing imperial guards and said disdainfully:
“A bunch of cowards.”
He thought these people were coming with fierce momentum and that there would be a big scene today.
So Liang Jin didn't hold back, and he was prepared to stand firm to the end.
But in the end, these people just left like that?
Liang Jin didn't lower his voice at all when he said this, so it naturally fell clearly into the ears of Fang Qianfeng and his group, causing their anger to erupt again and again.
But they could only pretend not to hear and quickly fled the scene.
If they lingered any longer, the little bit of face they had earned with harsh words would be completely gone.
In a corner of the wall.
Inside the iron cage, Prince Huaiyang, Zhao Yu, had been quietly watching everything.
Finally, he chuckled foolishly, as if he found it quite interesting.
Liang Jin then picked up the steamed bun that Fang Qianfeng had kicked away, patted off the dust, and placed it next to the iron cage:
“Your Highness, you'll have to make do for now.”
Liang Jin really didn't want Prince Huaiyang to die.
If Prince Huaiyang starved to death, died of illness, or froze to death, who knew what blame the higher-ups would put on him.
Moreover, as long as Prince Huaiyang was alive, his position among the imperial guards would be relatively special, and others would have to think twice before trying to touch him.
So even if Xue Feng didn't ask Liang Jin, Liang Jin himself would keep Prince Huaiyang alive.
In the future, Liang Jin would also take over Xue Feng's job of feeding Prince Huaiyang and bringing him clothes.
After speaking, Liang Jin left the iron cage and continued his guard duty.
But Zhao Yu didn't hesitate any longer at this time, picked up the already dirty and broken steamed bun, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
Liang Jin wasn't worried that Fang Qianfeng would try to retaliate.
He had plenty of ways to deal with Fang Qianfeng.
Most importantly, his own strength had greatly improved, which was his greatest confidence.
Time passed.
Later that evening, Wu Huan actually appeared again.
As soon as he met, he asked:
“Brother Liang, I heard you beat Fang Qianfeng just now?”
Liang Jin nodded, not denying it.
Wu Huan immediately said:
“Well done!”
“That bastard always puts on a stinky act. I've long disliked him.”
But after saying that, Wu Huan lowered his voice again:
“But this matter has a very bad impact.”
“Originally, I was thinking that since your martial arts have already become so high, and Deputy Commander has praised you, I was wondering if I could find an opportunity to promote you.”
No one wants to use a subordinate who has a record of insubordination, because no one knows if this subordinate will offend them one day.
Not only will the promotion path be blocked, but they will also be ostracized by their comrades.
Those who are insubordinate will be given a hard time by their superiors sooner or later.
Anyone who gets too close to such a person will inevitably offend their superiors, and they may be cleaned up together by their superiors.
Anyone who has a bad relationship with such a person may instead be appreciated by their superiors.
It can be said that those who are insubordinate but have no background have a very difficult life in the army.
“Chief Wu, it's okay.”
“I never thought about getting promoted anyway.”
Liang Jin replied.
Wu Huan nodded when he heard this, then sighed:
“What's the saying… Oh, right, 'Without desire, one is strong!'”
“You have no desires, so naturally you are not afraid of being bullied.”
“Unlike me, who pretends to be a grandson every day, how tiring it is to live.”
“Sometimes, I really envy you.”
Liang Jin didn't respond when he heard this.
He knew Wu Huan's personality.
Once Wu Huan starts speaking in accordance with your words, with constant kind words, then there must be something more to come.
Sure enough.
Wu Huan soon said earnestly:
“But Brother Liang, you can't go on like this.”
“There's another saying, 'People in the jianghu can't help themselves.' It's even more so in the palace.”
“After all, you see, now that you are responsible for guarding Prince Huaiyang, many things are more or less related to you, and you can't get rid of them if you want to.”
“Especially people, once they reach adulthood, they will eventually have to start a family and establish a career, otherwise it will inevitably make people uneasy.”
“You can't always be a bachelor, at least you have to leave an heir for the Liang family, right?”
Speaking of this, Wu Huan patted Liang Jin on the shoulder:
“Listen to my advice, when this shift is over and you're on vacation, I'll take you to a place.”
“The Fei family in the west of the city is a respectable family. I know Old Fei very well, and I have a very deep friendship with him. He works as a clerk in the Shuntian Prefecture, specializing in writing official documents for the Prefecture Governor. He is very talented.”
“Old Fei has a daughter who is fifteen years old this year. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also knowledgeable and reasonable. She is a good match.”
“With my relationship, this marriage is a sure thing!”
Liang Jin smiled when he heard this.
So Wu Huan wanted to take him on a blind date?
Of course, this is just the appearance.
Wu Huan is probably doing it for Liang Jin's own good, hoping that Liang Jin will be more stable after starting a family, and at the same time, he can reassure the people around him.
However, Liang Jin only wants to be the master of his own affairs.
He was about to refuse.
But Wu Huan preempted him:
“Don't rush to refuse, wait until you see her.”
“That's it, I'll take you over when you're on vacation.”
After speaking, Wu Huan turned and left, not giving Liang Jin a chance to refuse at all.
Liang Jin shook his head helplessly.
I'm afraid that the matter of Liang Jin slapping Fang Qianfeng in the face just now has caused quite a bit of controversy among the imperial guard officers.
This is why Wu Huan came to persuade him with good intentions.
However, since Wu Huan still thinks there is a chance, then it means that the problem is not too big.
Liang Jin continued his guard duty with peace of mind.
Time slowly passed.
It was almost time to change shifts.
And the time for signing in had also arrived.
Liang Jin didn't hesitate to choose to 【Sign In】.
In the next moment, a new line of information popped up on the system panel.
【Congratulations to the host for signing in for four consecutive months, you will receive the fourth external avatar.】
【The number of external avatars has reached the upper limit in the initial stage!】
【Before the great changes in the world, signing in will no longer grant new external avatars.】
【The function of storing external objects in the item bar is officially unlocked!】
【External Avatar, Manifest Saint before others, Save the world.】
【Destination of this Manifestation: Zhongsong County.】
【The characteristic obtained by this external avatar: Nine Empty Realms】
【The avatar will be randomly sent soon…】
Along with the text on the system, Liang Jin realized that he had not expected wrong, and he had indeed obtained the fourth clone.
It's just…
Among the newly appeared information, there were three more pieces of information that had not appeared before.
What is the initial stage?
The number of external avatars has reached the upper limit?
Only when the world changes drastically can signing in grant new external avatars?
What is a drastic change in the world?
Do warlord melee and dynasty destruction count?
Liang Jin completely couldn't understand what these pieces of information meant.
The system also didn't give a detailed explanation.
Perhaps only when that day really comes will Liang Jin be able to understand the meaning of it.
But the unlocking of the function of storing external objects in the 【Item Bar】, this point Liang Jin can understand.
If the 【Item Bar】 can store external objects, then isn't it equivalent to having a space ring from a fantasy novel?
Space rings are very powerful treasures!
If Liang Jin had relied on the 【Item Bar】 with the effect of a space ring to store external objects when he first came to this world, he would definitely have been able to earn a lot of money and become wealthy.
Unfortunately, Liang Jin doesn't lack money at all at this time, and it is obviously no longer meaningful to rely on the 【Item Bar】 to make money.
As long as the fist is big enough, are you still afraid of not being able to make money?
But relying on the function of storing external objects in the 【Item Bar】, it can play a very big role.
For example, the simplest thing is that the four clones and the main body can communicate with each other, this effect is simply heaven-defying!
Just as Liang Jin was thinking about it.
In the next moment.
That kind of peculiar feeling struck again.
Liang Jin only felt that his thoughts seemed to be pulled to an incomparably distant place in an instant.
This is the start of sending the external avatar.
Liang Jin has had this experience three times, so he is not flustered about it.
When Liang Jin's consciousness came back to his senses, he was already in a peculiar place…
When Liang Jin saw everything around him clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked.
In front of him.
It seems to be a city.
It was already dusk, and the sun was setting.
This place seems to be an intersection, surrounded by swaying crowds.
These ordinary people are throwing rotten vegetable leaves, stinky eggs, and other things in their hands towards Liang Jin.
They seem to be cursing loudly, and they are cursing very harshly.
As for Liang Jin himself…
He was actually tied up!
And kneeling on the execution ground!
About to be beheaded!
Sorry, I was delayed by something today, which caused the release to be late.
