Steel Chang'an

Chapter 8

Li Jing walked out of the cockpit.

Standing in front of Tianxia Yiren, this number one knight in the world looks so short and thin.

Several attendants of the Chang'an Knights immediately rushed forward and put Li Jing on the cloak worn over the knight's armor.The white cloak is trimmed with red leather, and the red emblem of the Chang'an Knights is embroidered on the neckline and cuffs.Wearing such a gorgeous cloak did not add any color to Li Jing's face.His face was pale, as if he had no energy, and his eyes were always slightly narrowed, as if smiling, or mocking, making him a little elusive.

Facing the cheers of the audience, Li Jing raised one hand, waved it casually a few times perfunctorily, and then walked out of the gate of the arena without looking back.

On the city wall, I saw my old friend Mr. Wen Xi has come up with a smile.

"You guys are still so cruel." Mr. Wenxi said, "You are so ruthless when you deal with a brat."

"Duel, brother." Li Jing glanced at him and said seriously, "Whoever his opponent is, he must go all out. This is the spirit of chivalry."

This guy, there are times when he is so serious!Mr. Wenxi couldn't help being awed, and then he thought about it again and asked: "Then, you fought with only one hand for almost the entire audience, is this also called going all out?"

"Well, I was a little sleepy at the beginning. I forgot that the plasma cannon was still charging. When I remembered it was full, I used it up." Li Jing patted Mr. Wenxi on the shoulder seriously and said, "I'm used to Take a nap at this time, you know."

I know your sister!Mr. Wen Xi went crazy.After a long time, it turned out that at that time, you really dozed off in the mecha!What about seeing through the opponent's tactics, leaping in the air at the very moment, and using the opponent's tracking bullets to lay a trap, it turned out that it was all made up by others!This guy was simply dozed off when he was rushed in front of him, he was startled, he jumped up out of an instinctive reaction!As far as this man is still talking about going all out, talking about chivalry, if the kid over there who was beaten out of his mind knows, he might vomit blood on the spot!

Could it be that this guy's strength is so terrifying that even if he dozes off in the mech, he can knock someone down?

Mr. Wenxi was in a state of surprise, he had known this guy for so many years, but he still couldn't understand his strength.

Just as he was thinking, Mr. Wen Xi glanced down inadvertently, but saw something unexpected.

Li Jing's hands were originally covered under the wide cuffs of the knight's cloak, but when he put his shoulders on Mr. Wen Xi's shoulders, his hands were exposed.Those were a pair of perfect hands like a performer, with clean, slender fingers and spotless fingers.

But it was these hands that were manipulating the hands of a man in the world just now, but now their fingers were trembling slightly.

It turned out that Li Jing's duel with that boy from Baima City was not as easy as he said.

Mr. Wen Xi couldn't help being a little stunned.He recalled that when he watched the battle before, he also thought that Mu Yun would win by surprise several times.The youthful drive in Mu Yun, and the calm calculation that didn't match his age at all, made many wonderful performances that could almost become the winner of a duel.

At that time, did Li Jing really doze off while sitting in the mech?
If this is the case, the person who is beaten to the ground now is Li Jing, right?
The ultra-high-speed operation in the previous duel made Mr. Wen Xi feel that Li Jing was not old yet, but now, seeing these trembling hands, Mr. Wen Xi found that Li Jing was old after all.

It's just that Li Jing hasn't given up yet!
Mr. Wenxi's thoughts couldn't help returning to the question he thought about when he was watching the battle: the first knight Li Jing, how long can you sit in this position of the first knight?

Li Jing also looked at Mr. Wen Xi at the same time, narrowing his narrow eyes slightly.

"You..." Mr. Wenxi hesitated to speak, and could only shake his head, "I really can't see through you."

Li Jing patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "With your level, it's normal that you can't see through me."

"You—" Mr. Wen Xi remembered to maintain his demeanor, and swallowed "your sister" abruptly.He still wanted to hold Li Jing to have a good argument with him, but Li Jing's gaze was no longer on him, but drifted behind him——

Standing there were none other than the knights of the Chang'an Knights.

Mr. Wenxi found that the smile on Li Jing's face had completely disappeared.

The Chang'an Knights, whose history is as old as Chang'an City, is the first knights on the Pangu Continent, consisting of twelve knights.In addition to the first knight Li Jing, there are eleven other knights.

However, these eleven knights were not present to watch the battle when their first knight dueled.It wasn't until the end of the duel that they hurried to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.

During the period from the end of the duel to when they entered the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, someone naturally reported the result of the duel to them.However, judging from their expressions, it seemed that Li Jing was the one who lost the duel, and they all looked sad.

"You won again."

The eleven knights were the same as Li Jing, wearing red and white cloaks over the armor of the knights.Standing at the forefront is the vice-chairman of the Chang'an Knights. He is the chief knight second only to Li Jing, equivalent to the deputy leader of the Chang'an Knights. His name is Zhuo Renyue, and he is titled Knight of Zhaoming.This man who looked good looked like he had a bitter face at this moment, and greeted Li Jing.

"Well, I won." Li Jing's voice was still lazy, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuo Renyue, "Do you think I will lose?"

"I heard that this young man from Baima City is very talented, but unfortunately..." Zhuo Renyue didn't answer directly, but from the tone of his voice, the vice-chairman of the Chang'an Knights was very sorry for the result of the competition.

"Mu Yun? He has great potential. If he has the patience to wait a few more years, he may not lose so badly when he fights with me." Li Jing said lightly, "You guys really think that the current him, Have a chance to beat me?"

"If you really think so, then I'd be really surprised." After speaking, Li Jing glanced at everyone.All the knights of the Chang'an Knights did not dare to meet his gaze, and all lowered their heads with shame on their faces.

Mr. Wen Xi, who was standing aside, was startled: The Chang'an Knights really hope that Li Jing will lose this duel by mistake!

Only Zhuo Renyue still had a wry smile on his face, but he did not avoid Li Jing's gaze, and said with a smile: "The brothers of the Knights, why don't you know Li Gong's strength? It's just—"

Zhuo Renyue changed the topic, and her gaze became sharp: "It's just that you have been sitting in the position of the number one knight for so many years, people will eventually grow old, even you are no exception!"

You are strong, but when you are old, someone will always beat you.

These words came from Zhuo Renyue's mouth, it was already considered a crime, and it was quite heartbreaking.But Li Jing showed no sign of anger at all.

"I'm old, so what?" Li Jing said lazily, "I'm the one who wins."

The winner is me.These simple five words are irrefutable!

Zhuo Renyue lowered his head, and after a long time he let out a long sigh, and said, "Mr. Li, if you continue to win like this, you will embarrass the brothers of the Knights."

"It's difficult?" Li Jing said with a smile, "Any one of you, as long as you defeat me, you can take my place in a legitimate way. At that time, it's not too difficult to let me quit the Knights on the grounds of being too old." Can it be done?"

Mr. Wenxi had been standing aside.Even if he was assassinated by Chang'an, it would be inconvenient for him to intervene in the Knights' discussions, so he just looked down and pretended to be indifferent.But when he heard the words "quit from the Knights", his heart was shocked, he raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhuo Renyue——

It turned out that Zhuo Renyue not only wanted Li Jing to lose the duel and the title of number one knight in the world, but also wanted him to quit the knight order!

The knights standing behind Zhuo Renyue were silent.It seems that this is not the meaning of Zhuo Renyue alone, but the meaning of the entire Chang'an Knights.

It wasn't until now that Mr. Wen Xi understood the deep meaning of this conversation.

The Chang'an Knights want Li Jing to withdraw, but Li Jing's status as the number one knight has not been shaken. If he quits the Knights at this time, in the eyes of the outside world, the Chang'an Knights will lose one of the most powerful generals for no reason. The strength of the regiment was greatly damaged.In such a sensitive current situation, it is bound to affect morale and shake the morale of the army.But if Li Jing was defeated in the duel, it could prove that Li Jing was old and the hero was late, even if he announced his withdrawal from the Knights at this moment, it would not have much impact.

But unfortunately, Li Jing won.

That's why the Knights' complexion is so ugly, because their wishful thinking has failed.

As for what Li Jing said, it is not feasible for anyone in the Knights to challenge him to defeat him.A duel within the Knights, no matter what the result is, will be regarded as a signal of discord within the Knights. If someone catches them making a big fuss, it will damage the reputation of the Knights, not to mention——

"Mr. Li is joking." She was joking, but the expression on Zhuo Renyue's face was not funny at all, "You know very well that none of us are your opponents." Then she paused, Staring into Li Jing's eyes, "Of course, unless you are willing to release water..."

"Are you joking?" Li Jing was still lazily standing against the wall, but his eyes did not back down. "You can say something like a duel? Where is your chivalry? So many people Listen, do you want to be shameless?"

Chivalry, the person who lacks this kind of thing the most is obviously you!Mr. Wen Xi couldn't help being distracted, complaining in his heart.

But seeing Zhuo Renyue's expression turned serious, she said, "Mr. Li taught you the right thing, I was the one who made a slip of the tongue."

"Well, it's good to know you're wrong." Li Jing waved his hand lightly.

It looks like the elders are teaching the younger generation, but in fact the Zhuo family behind Zhuo Renyue is the leading aristocratic family group in Chang'an City, and although Li Jing is the number one knight, there is no power behind him. If the two really talk about their identities, Zhuo Renyue His status is not necessarily below that of Li Jing.So when Li Jing waved his hand so lightly, Mr. Wen Xi saw it, and complained again in his heart.

Zhuo Renyue said: "Then, Li Gong is not planning to give up the title of the number one knight, but is he going to continue winning?"

"The name of the first knight? I don't care." Li Jing narrowed his eyes, "I just don't want to lose."

"Don't you want to lose..." Zhuo Renyue frowned.He couldn't see through Li Jing.From his experience, it is best not to take a word of what Li Jing said seriously.But the sentence I don't want to lose sounds like Li Jing's sincere words.

"It's just that what Li Gong said made us very embarrassed." Zhuo Renyue sighed.He hoped that Li Jing would lose, not only for the Knights, but also for Li Jing himself, but until now—

Is it necessary to go to that step?
Zhuo Renyue struggled inwardly. Facing this veteran who had always stood at the forefront of the knight order and made great achievements in guarding the city, the words were on his lips, but he couldn't say them no matter what.

After all, Li Jing has never been ashamed of being the number one knight of the Chang'an Knights.But they should be ashamed of him.

"Is it really that embarrassing?" Li Jing still had that lazy expression on his face, but Zhuo Renyue saw a trace of desolation in his eyes, "At this point, there is only one way——

"Chang'an Knights, hasn't held a round table meeting for a long time, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed greatly.

"Li Gong, why are you bothering..."

The so-called round table meeting of the Knights has been a tradition since the establishment of the Chang'an Knights.When there are disputes within the knight order and cannot be settled, the twelve knights can vote in the round table meeting regardless of their seats.

Unlike Li Jing who voluntarily gave up his seat as the first knight and quit the Knights, once the round table meeting is started, if the twelve knights jointly vote to decide that Li Jing will no longer be the first knight and quit the Knights, it means that Li Jing will be expelled from the Knights of!

This is what Zhuo Renyue wanted to say, but couldn't bear to say it after all.

A knight expelled from the Knights will lose his place and have to go away.And a knight, if expelled by the Chang'an Knights, will lose his foothold in the entire Pangu Continent.

Even though Chang'an has declined, the Chang'an Knights are still the most powerful knights in the entire Pangu continent.Behind this knight order is the oldest power group on the Pangu Continent.No one would take the risk of offending such a knight order to take in a knight who was expelled by it.

The former first knight of the Chang'an Knights will become a wild dog that everyone shouts and beats.

He didn't want to lose, but he had to end up like this... That's why Zhuo Renyue couldn't bear to say this method.However, what Zhuo Renyue couldn't say was finally said by Li Jing himself.

"Let's hold a round table meeting." Li Jing said.His voice was calm, his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the arena under the city wall and the people who were still cheering, "This is the last duel I won for the Chang'an Knights.

"This is the last thing I can do for the Chang'an Knights."
