Chapter 188: Refusal
In the quiet hall, Meng Changqing, who was in the main position, didn't know Tie Xuan's complicated heart at this time, or even if he knew, it didn't matter, after all, with his status, status and strength, he didn't need to care about the thoughts of a little person like Tie Xuan at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, what he is thinking about is the problem that Wang Mingzhong has been struggling with, of course, what he thinks is much simpler than Wang Mingzhong, Wang Mingzhong may still be thinking about the strength of the Black Tiger Gang and the deep meaning behind doing so, after all, it is obviously a very unwise thing to offend a gang for the sake of a small person. As for Tie Xuan's words, they didn't have too many doubts, because they all believed that the young man in front of them didn't have the courage to hide such a big thing, after all, if it was a lie, once it was found out, it would be a capital crime, Tie Xuan couldn't have come to Gucheng knowing that he was so stupid and swaggering, and he should have fled halfway.
Meng Changqing was thinking about whether to kill Tie Xuan, the trouble-causing guy, or find a place to arrange it, as for the Black Tiger Gang, to put it mildly, in this solid city, his words are better than the words of the emperor of the dynasty, and he will care about the grudge of a small gang whose strength is far inferior to that of the dynasty, and it is almost the same as the power of Baihua Villa.
However, before that, Meng Changqing still planned to give Tie Xuan a chance, and his performance would decide his fate.
I don't know how long it took, just when Tie Xuan and the others were flustered, Meng Changqing suddenly said, "Your name is Tie Xuan, right?" ”
"Yes. Tie Xuan was shocked, and he didn't know what the general meant by naming him.
"To be honest, you should be credited with bringing such amazing news this time, but the matter is big, and everyone is dead, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?" Meng Changqing looked at Tie Xuan Dao with blazing eyes.
"General, in addition to the three behind me who can prove that what I said below, I also brought the sword of Xu Yiming, the captain of the Black Armor Guard. Tie Xuan said, and then untied the giant sword behind his back.
"It's useless at all, although you have witnesses and physical evidence, but this is all your side of the story, not to mention whether the Black Tiger Gang will believe it, even I won't believe it. Meng Changqing said lightly.
"Uh, this. Hearing this, Tie Xuan suddenly felt the trickiness of the matter, and at this moment he felt that his previous considerations seemed to be a little inappropriate.
"Let him send someone to check the injuries of the corpse, the dead will not lie. Just as Tie Xuan was thinking hard about how to clear his suspicion, a voice sounded in his head.
"By the way, I have buried their bodies in a wilderness thousands of miles away, and if the general does not believe me, he can send someone to dig up the corpses and check the injuries on their corpses, and the dead will not lie. Tie Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Well, yes, now I don't have to find someone to dig up the corpse and I believe you are right. Meng Changqing nodded with satisfaction and said, although this Tie Xuan acted improperly before, his brain is quite flexible and can be used.
"General, you believe what I say. Tie Xuan said in surprise.
"Originally, I believed that after all, a martial artist who is not a martial artist in such a major event should not dare to lie, but what you did before was too inconsiderate, and you plunged into the solid city without a little scheming. Meng Changqing said earnestly, and he didn't know whether the meaning of his words was praise or depreciation.
"Yes, the villain really didn't think much about it before, he just felt that the truth was how it was, and he didn't think about anything else. Tie Xuan said a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he was also scared into a cold sweat, and sighed that his luck was really good.
"However, I'm curious, even if what you say is true, there is still a possibility that you may die or be punished, in this case, why did you come to Gucheng when you knew that you would be punished, wouldn't it be better to escape halfway?" Meng Changqing asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"General, this question of yours, I also asked the senior who saved me on the way here. Tie Xuan smiled indifferently.
"Oh, then how did you answer him?" Meng Changqing said.
Tie Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "There are too many people who have sacrificed for me, and my heart is very afraid, afraid that they will be hurt again because of me." So no matter what happens, today, when I come to Gucheng, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I have to stand up and break through, I don't want to be afraid. ”
Looking at the young man in front of him with a young face but extremely stubborn, Meng Changqing's heart moved, as if he was feeling, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Good boy, from today onwards, you can follow me and be my personal guard, how about it?"
"Huh?"
As soon as Meng Changqing said this, not only Tie Xuan was stunned, but the rest of the people in the hall were also stunned immediately, especially Wang Mingzhong, he couldn't believe that this came from the mouth of the general.
"General, although this son is simple in nature and loyal in character, after all, he is a newcomer, and the general is shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the city, and he is concerned with the well-being of all the people. Wang Mingzhong said with a look of concern.
"Hey, Mingzhong, needless to say, I've made up my mind. Meng Changqing waved his hand, then looked at Tie Xuan and said, "Are you willing?"
In the suspicious eyes of Wang Mingzhong and the envious eyes of the three people behind him, Tie Xuan, who was slightly thin, spoke, "The general is loved, Tie Xuan is grateful in his heart, but please forgive Tie Xuan for not accepting it." ”
"What?"
Tie Xuan's answer suddenly stunned the people present, no one thought that Tie Xuan would refuse Meng Changqing's kindness, you must know that this is an opportunity that many people can't ask for, but he indifferently refused, isn't he afraid of annoying Meng Changqing, and the other party will kill him in a rage.
"Tie Xuan's brain, isn't it?" Pang Changgong touched the shoulder of the old fox beside him, pointed to his head, and whispered.
"Silence, let's go out and talk about something. The old fox Hu Li glared at the other party fiercely and said in a low voice.
However, among all the people, the most shocked person was not Meng Changqing, Wang Mingzhong looked at Tie Xuan who was standing in place with a calm face, and he really couldn't understand why this person refused. Didn't he know that this was the general protecting him, the identity of the guard was just a disguise, but the real purpose was to tell the people of the Black Tiger Gang that Tie Xuan couldn't move, he thought that with the identity of the general, he really lacked a guard.
"Hehe, well, if you refuse, I won't force it. In this way, since you have followed the team escorting prisoners to Gucheng to join the army this time, then everything will be in accordance with the regulations, how about it?" Meng Changqing, who was rejected, was a little embarrassed, but there was no anger on his face, but he said with a pleasant face.
Seeing that Meng Changqing was not angry, Tie Xuan was a little surprised, he originally thought that he would have to explain the reason with some words, but he didn't expect to get rid of it so easily, and immediately said, "So good." ”。
Now that the matter has been resolved, Tie Xuan directly asked to leave, Meng Changqing did not keep them, but Wang Mingzhong was retained, which shows that the relationship between the two is indeed not ordinary.
After leaving the general's mansion, Tie Xuan took Hu Li and the three of them to find a restaurant, planning to go to the military camp to report after eating.
In the private room of the restaurant, when the wine and food came up, there was a strange silence on the table, except for Tie Xuan who stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the food, the other three were motionless.
"Hey, why don't you eat, especially Pang Changgong, aren't you already yelling for a big meal?" Tie Xuan wondered.
Hearing Tie Xuan's words, the three of them glanced at each other, and finally Hu Li spoke, "Tie Xuan, do you really not know or pretend to be confused, don't you know that you just walked before the ghost gate closed?"
"Hehe, you're still thinking about my refusal to be a guard for General Meng, isn't this the end?" Tie Xuan said with a smile.
"No, Tie Xuan, why are you still laughing, if I just want to find a piece of tofu and kill you, then you will miss such a good opportunity. Pang Changgong said angrily.
"What a chance, to give people the opportunity to be a guard, hehe, I was born without any restraint, no matter who he is. Tie Xuan's face turned grim.
"Tie Xuan, now is not the time to be rash, and you don't want to think about the fact that you have offended the Black Tiger Gang to death after this attack. If they send someone to kill you again, what will you do, and do you expect any seniors to come and save you?" Hu Li said earnestly.
"Then you mean that I should agree to the General's offer to serve as a bodyguard, and he will provide me with shelter so that the Black Tiger Gang will not dare to attack, right? Tie Xuan said.
"Since you know why you don't do it, the general is obviously deliberately taking care of you by giving you such an opportunity, do you think that people really lack a guard like you. I heard that in addition to hundreds of ordinary guards, there are also eighteen personal guards around the general, all of whom are at the peak of the martial artist's cultivation, and their combat effectiveness is amazing, and a group of six people can trap and kill the great martial artist. Hu Li frowned and said, obviously worried about Tie Xuan's rejection of Meng Changqing.
"You should be talking about the eighteen horsemen of the smoke cloud, I heard that the eighteen horsemen of the smoke cloud are composed of a total of eighteen people, they are dressed in winter clothes, wearing scimitars at their waists, wearing masks on their faces, black scarves on their heads, only their eyes are exposed, and they are also wearing long black cloaks, and they are stepping on Huren horse boots, riding boots are equipped with daggers, and everyone is carrying big bows, each carrying eighteen arrows, and all of them are equipped with full moon scimitars. However, it is said that although these Eighteen Horsemen are elusive, they generally operate in the desert and rarely enter the solid city, and because they all wear masks, no one has ever seen their true faces, is that true?" Tie Xuan said with a curious look in his eyes.
"I don't know this, it's all rumors, the last time the eighteen horsemen went out was more than a hundred years ago, who remembers it. Hu Li shook his head and said, but then he seemed to wake up to something, and hurriedly said, "Wait, it's not time for us to talk about this." ”。
"Hahaha... Seeing the old fox stunned by himself, Tie Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a look of self-satisfaction.
