Asuo stood up excitedly again and answered in a very firm tone:
"Chief, I know Ji Lie. He is very powerful and will definitely fight until the last moment. He is the God of War of our Xiqi King City~~~,
My subordinate promises that he will never betray..."
"I just said it casually, you don't have to be excited!",
Baoping smiled and waved to him, asking Asuo to continue sitting down.
Then he looked at Chen Zhi again, with something meaningful in his eyes.
"do you know?
I have really heard too much about this warrior Ji Lie. My adoptive father mentioned him most often during his lifetime, saying that he was an extremely talented warrior who was not inferior even in front of the gods.
It is really a pity that he died so young~~, even my adoptive father respected him very much.
But all I heard was about his strength and his immortality, but I didn’t hear much about his character!
It’s a pity that I never had the chance to meet such a legendary figure..."
After Bao Ping said this, he didn't say any more, but turned to look at Ji Hu again.
"Elder Ji Hu, thank you for revealing such important information to us. You put the organization's affairs first, regardless of past grievances, and once again proved your loyalty to Xiqi.
This time I go to the Tomb of Baiqi God, and I am prepared to personally supervise the battle!
During the period of my absence, Xiqi King City will trouble you and the elders to guard it. Later, I will announce that during the period of my absence, you have the right to monitor the city, and all remaining warriors will obey your command.
You have the right to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises..."
"leader……"
Ji Hu never expected that Bao Ping would say such a sentence. In fact, even Chen Zhi and Asuo did not expect it.
Ji Hu's lips were obviously trembling,
"leader……,
Old age..., old age...
The old man is a sinful man!",
When Ji Hu said this, his eyes turned red.
"The old man has always been disrespectful to the leader. During the period when the leader succeeded to the throne, the old man was not reconciled. He felt that Ji's throne had been taken away. He had malicious intentions and secretly did many short-sighted and stupid things behind his back. Many of them were justified.
The death penalty is to be beheaded...
With the leader's wisdom, he should already know this by now.
It’s fine that the leader doesn’t deal with Lao Chan, but now he is still assured that Xiqi is in Lao Chan’s hands, you..., do you really believe in Lao Chan?”
"You are really joking!"
Bao Ping said with a smile:
"I don't know what you did behind your back, but I think those were all misunderstandings. Let the past be bygones~~
But after I leave Xiqi, Xiqi must have a high-status elder to oversee the city. If even the chief elder of the royal family is not qualified to guard Xiqi, then who will be worthy of this position?
I will soon make arrangements to return the weapons you used when you were young to your hands. Although the elders are older, I know that your majesty is still the same as before!"
"Chief~~",
Asuo, who had been listening to these words, suddenly interrupted and said,
"Suppressing the elders' weapons has been our rule in Xiqi since ancient times.
Weapons are even more powerful for warriors~~ The elders have all been red-belt warriors and possess unique skills. Once they regain their weapons, they are invincible, so they must collect their weapons after entering the elders' house.
Collecting weapons also shows their loyalty to their leader~~"
"Loyalty lies in the heart, not in words~~",
Bao Ping said calmly,
"For those who want to rebel, they can rebel even if they are unarmed. For those who don't want to rebel, they will not rebel even if they are sure of victory. In the death chamber, our elder Ji Hu has proven this.
Besides, the old rules of the organization should also be changed, so this matter is settled..."
"leader……",
Ji Hu suddenly became inexplicably excited, and his eyes began to twinkle. Perhaps because of his age, his nose was also a little red.
"In the past, I felt that the old leader was too partial. He actually loved his adopted son and allowed someone with a different surname to take over Xiqi King City out of selfish motives.
But today, the old man truly understands the good intentions of the old leader.
New leader, your magnanimity is unparalleled!
I admire you so much!!"
"Haha! These words are too obvious, I don't need to say them anymore...",
Bao Ping smiled and nodded to Ji Hu, then looked at Chen Zhi,
"I heard that the mood among the warriors is at an all-time high right now!
Everyone is looking for your recommendation, hoping to join the Tomb of Gods team, how about it, it must be very troublesome, right?"
"A little bit~~",
Chen Zhi smiled and said,
"But after all, I'm not good at choosing warriors. Let the leader choose them himself!"
"Well..." Bao Ping thought for a moment,
“You don’t have many soldiers, but you must be good!
I will choose a few capable warriors from among the blue belt elites to go with you. They will follow you into the tomb of the gods and protect your safety.
Asuo and Ji Ying will also go in with you this time, and I will wait outside with the Blood Talisman Camp."
"this……",
When Ji Ying was mentioned, Chen Zhi's heart couldn't help but move. He hesitated and said:
"Chief, don't arrange for Warrior Ji Ying to participate in the mission this time!
I've thought about it, there still needs to be a warrior guarding Xiqi, so let's leave Ji Ying here!"
"Oops~~, the clan leader is too worried~~~"
Ji Hu was obviously still excited about returning the weapon, so he interrupted and said,
"Clan leader, don't worry, we old guys can fight the ANBU ten times~~~, Ji Ying will go with you..."
"Wait a moment……",
Bao Ping suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Ji Hu's words, then frowned and began to carefully observe Chen Zhi's expression with his eyes.
Bao Ping is a very keen person. His dark gray eyes seem to be able to see through everyone's heart at any time. He looked at Chen Zhi for a while, then turned around and shouted outside:
"Ji Ying, come in..."
Although Bao Ping's voice was not loud, Ji Ying outside could hear it clearly.
The door creaked open, and Ji Ying walked in from the outside. She walked very briskly, holding a long knife, kneeling on one leg in front of Bao Ping, and said respectfully:
"Chief, you call me!"
Bao Ping looked her up and down, but did not let her stand up. Instead, he carefully looked at the scars on her face and neck with his eyes, "What are the injuries on your body?"
Bao Ping's face became extremely serious at this time, and his tone was also very low. It seemed that the air in the whole room had become cold for a while. Asuo and Ji Hu did not dare to speak, and they all focused their attention on Ji Ying!
"Report to the leader!
My subordinate was practicing kung fu the day before yesterday and accidentally injured himself!" Ji Ying replied calmly.
But Bao Ping didn't respond and didn't let her get up.
It could be seen from Baoping's eyes that he didn't believe Ji Ying's answer at all. His eyes were like knives. He looked at Ji Ying from top to bottom again, and finally said coldly,
"Warrior Ji Ying, obey your orders..."
Bao Ping's words were as heavy as an iron spindle thrown on the ground. They were very heavy and made everyone's hearts pick up in their throats.
"Ji Ying, from now on, you are responsible for protecting Patriarch Chen's personal safety.
No one is allowed to disturb Patriarch Chen’s state of mind in any form.
If Patriarch Chen is affected in the slightest, I will execute you immediately!
