Chapter 109: Angry
"This is Count Xian Yuqiong of the Ministry of Officials, who controls the personnel scheduling of the empire, and the list of talents reported to the imperial court must be reviewed by him before they can be passed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Earl Xian Yuqiong attaches the most importance to the cultivation of talents, especially young talents, and he appreciates them very much. As long as he approves it, there is no problem in obtaining a bright future in the empire in the future. ”
Zhou Tu introduced the middle-aged man in a purple robe with a smile on his face, and between the lines, there was no lack of hints at Sun Long.
In the empire, the so-called court has someone who is good to be an official is a wise saying, and it is also an unspoken rule that cannot be written in books. No matter what talent you have, no matter what your strength is, as long as you want to be an official in the imperial court, you have to find a big tree to hold onto.
One is the high-ranking official of the Ministry of Officials who dominates the personnel appointment and dismissal organs of the Empire, and the other is the high-ranking official of the Ministry of Industry who dominates the dispatch of strategic resources of the Empire.
If the unspoken rules of officialdom are mentioned, then it seems to be a good choice to cling to them to seek their refuge, and their own qualifications are sufficient.
Obviously, today's special meeting is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, the two big men from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials came at one time, it is impossible that there is no purpose, what do they want to do?
Sun Long is still not sure what they mean, nodded at him politely, without showing superfluous emotions, this Xian Yuqiong's EQ is obviously much better than that Tuoba Xianxian, unlike the other party's domineering appearance, which won Sun Long's favor, he said lightly: "Hello Earl, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Hehe, your performance in the martial arts arena today is very good, and with more training in the future, you will definitely become a pillar of the empire. In the future, we may have to be officials in the same court, and we should not be so polite to each other, just be casual. Xian Yuqiong nodded with satisfaction, looking at Sun Long with a little appreciation in her eyes.
Xian Yuqiong did not show too much arrogance that a superior person should have, and she was quite kind, and did not put much pressure on Sun Long. Before Zhou Tu came to the Tang family's martial arts arena, he told some of his basic information and background information, and discussed with Xian Yuqiong Tuoba Xian Xian, especially for Sun Long's potential and his combat effectiveness, Zhou Tu gave great praise.
At first, Tuoba Xianxian and Xian Yuqiong didn't care much about Zhou Tu's boasting, they traveled around the world and didn't know how many young strong people they had seen, especially the cradle of talents in Tianhai Academy, every year the Ministry of Officials would send some officials to them to select some talented and powerful young powerhouses to send to the Ministry of Officials, so as to serve the empire.
Although they are also quite concerned about the talents in the opposition, after all, compared with those young geniuses who have been carefully selected and cultivated by the empire, the so-called genius boys in the opposition are still a lot weaker, so when facing Zhou Tu's boasting, they still don't have much confidence, at least they reserve their opinions.
However, after seeing Sun Long's performance in the martial arts arena today, the two of them were completely shocked, and their inner thoughts immediately changed. After all, whether it is an academic school or an opposition school, as long as it is a good talent, it is the object of their recruitment.
Especially at this time, Xian Yuqiong has a lot of expectations for Sun Long, as an official of the ministry, the sensitivity to talents is far better than that of colleagues in other departments, it can be said that whether a talent has training value, he can basically have a clear judgment after a few glances.
Zhou Tu introduced the last elegant man with five willows and long beard to Sun Longdao: "This is the head of the Xu family, he is a local nobleman, and the lord of this city has a good relationship, his power is much stronger than mine, if you cause any trouble in the empire in the future, try to come to him, and he can easily settle the things I can't settle." ”
The Xu family master smiled indifferently, stared at Sun Long, and said, "If there is anything that needs help, just ask, for the sake of the face of the city lord of Zhou Tu, I will do my best." ”
This sentence gave Zhou Tu enough face, and between the lines, there was an absolute confidence, and the power hidden behind it made people believe that this seemingly low-key and elegant Xu family master was enough to have the strength to do what he said.
Of course, Sun Long couldn't really think that the so-called promise of the Xu family master was really a promise, and it was impossible for him to really look for the Xu family master's help because of the politeness here, so he nodded at the Xu family master and passed by directly.
"Hmph." Xu Wuqing, who was dressed in red, was very dissatisfied, and glared at Sun Long without hiding her hostility, if it weren't for such an occasion, she might have to make a move on him.
Zhou Tu's eyes fell on Xu Wuqing, seeing her like this, of course he knew what the reason was, and said with a smile: "Wuqing niece, the martial arts arena is originally the place where victory and defeat are decided, there are victories and defeats, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." Although Wu Yao suffered a loss, he can cultivate martial arts well, and he still has the opportunity to become a good martial artist in the future, so why bother with this kind of thing? It's better to listen to your uncle's words, turn this matter over, tell your uncle what good things you want, and keep it to your satisfaction. ”
After hearing this, the head of the Xu family raised his eyelids slightly, he didn't understand very well, although his daughter was a little domineering, but she was by no means the kind of unreasonable person, if she showed a lot of hatred towards a person, then this person must have offended her.
However, Sun Long has only recently risen in Wild Cow City, to put it in detail, it was only after the Four Nations Alliance Hunting Tournament that he really came into the eyes of the public, and even before the Xu family master had never heard of such a figure in Wild Cow City.
It stands to reason that Xu Wuqing has spent the past half a year in Tianhai Academy, and it is impossible to have any holiday with Sun Long, so where does this hatred come from, as the head of the Xu family, it is also difficult to find clues, at this time, when he heard Zhou Tu actually mention Xu Wuyao, he immediately asked strangely: "What's wrong with my family Wuyao, what is the victory, what is the matter with Sun Long?" ”
Zhou Tu glanced at the head of the Xu family strangely, he didn't expect that he didn't know about Xu Wuyao's defeat, and immediately explained with a dumb smile: "Actually, it's nothing, your family Wuyao won the ranking of the 100 Great Martial Artists in the Tang Family Martial Arts Arena, and he sang all the way without defeat, but was successfully challenged by Sun Long's little brother and took his place." This was originally just a very normal thing, and in the martial arts arena, it was necessary to divide the winners and losers, and it was no wonder that Sun Long's little brother was in this matter. ”
Xu Wuqing immediately showed a dissatisfied expression, stared at Zhou Tu, and said with some anger: "This is a light statement, my brother has completely lost his fighting spirit now, and he is silent in the pain of defeat, and he will be wasted every day by drinking to drown his sorrows!" The former heroic posture found that it was all replaced by decadence, I saw it in my eyes and hurt in my heart, how can I be worthy of him if I don't earn this face for him?! ”
Xu Wuqing's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she ruthlessly cast her gaze on Sun Long beside her, revealing a warlike expression, and mocking: "Since he is so strong, he should accept my challenge." Today, he defeated two martial arts powerhouses in a row, and the limelight was out of the sky, and I really thought that no one in the Wild Cow City was inferior to him, but I really wanted to see and see, how much ability does this person have! ”
In the face of such a childish behavior, Zhou Tu's face was obviously a little displeased, this order to stop the battle was issued by him personally, originally the strong man of the martial spirit realm challenged Sun Long in the martial arts arena was not in accordance with the rules, in order to prove Sun Long's true combat effectiveness, Zhou Tu ventilated with the martial arts arena and arranged a match between the martial spirit realm and the great martial artist realm.
The second battle of Qin Wushan was already an accident, he Qin Wushan could challenge Sun Long without shame, could it be said that the dignified Miss Xu family, who has such a resounding reputation and background in the empire, also wants to do this kind of thing that is criticized? Zhou Tu couldn't understand these words, so he simply didn't say them, and set his eyes on the head of the Xu family and asked him to give him an idea.
"Don't mess around, you girl! The martial arts arena was originally a place to win or lose, and being defeated can only say that his skills are not as good as others, even if you want to fight for face, your brother will fight for it himself, what is the matter with you helping him challenge Sun Long? If Xu Wuyao really collapses because of this, it can only mean that he is a waste, and he is not worthy of being the descendant of my Xu family! ”
The Xu family master's face looked a little ugly, and he glared at Xu Wuqing fiercely, the former still wanted to argue something, but when he saw the Xu family master's eyes full of anger, he immediately held back, he could only feel infinite grievances, and the anger in his heart could not be vented, and his hatred for Sun Long rose infinitely.
"It's not a big deal, Wuqing's niece gives me a face, you two shake hands and make peace, in the future, when you are friends, in the evening, my uncle will hold a banquet in the city lord's mansion, and let Wuyao come over when the time comes, you will talk face-to-face, and solve this contradiction, we are all members of the Wild Cow City, why do you have to make any hatred?" This won't do you any good for Cow City or even the Empire, you should understand that, don't be childish. Zhou Tu said in the tone of an elder.
Xu Wuqing finally couldn't bear it anymore, stomped his feet resentfully, turned around and turned into a red glow and shot out, stopped a little on the window lattice a few feet away, and said to a few people in the VIP box: "This matter is definitely not so easy to end, if you want me to be friends with this guy Sun Long, don't even think about it, I will fight for my brother sooner or later with this face!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Wuqing shot out again, leaving a series of red lights and shadows in the void and quickly disappeared into the martial arts arena.
The head of the Xu family sighed, his face became very ugly, his eyes crossed over the few people around him, and finally said to Zhou Tu: "There are still some things to deal with in the house, I won't stay here for a while, congratulations on your good results in this hunting competition, and you will meet again when you have time in the future." ”
After he finished speaking, he got up a little unpleasantly, Xian Yuqiong and Tuoba Xian Xian immediately stood up, clasped their fists and saluted the head of the Xu family, and then watched him leave.
Xu Wuqing's performance seemed to be a farce in Sun Long's eyes, and he was somewhat disgusted with this woman in his heart, and automatically blocked her in his mind, the only bright spot in this VIP box was the head of the Xu family, who was he?
Zhou Tu gave him face like this, and even the two senior officials of the empire gave him face like this, Sun Long couldn't understand it, but he knew that the head of the Xu family must have an extraordinary background, so he could walk very chicly, and even with Xu Wuqing's presumptuous attitude and such a rude temperament, even if they were unreasonable, they could tolerate it and turn a blind eye.
The farce finally ended, the scene calmed down, Zhou Tu coughed twice in embarrassment, patted Sun Long's shoulder, and said: "It's just a small episode, little brother take a seat, the head of the Xu family has some scruples about sitting here and talking to us, now that he has left, there are only our own people left in this circle, and it is very convenient to say anything." ”
Sun Long's heart moved slightly, it seemed that the relationship between Zhou Tu and the head of the Xu family was not as strong as he imagined, but these things were not in his scope of consideration, and he smiled indifferently, since he had found himself, there must be something to say to himself, what did it mean, and it was time to get to the point.
That Xian Yuqiong took out a red post, made a solemn expression, looked at the content of it, and said loudly: "This time, in view of Sun Long's excellent combat performance in the Wild Cow City Hunting Competition, the imperial court specially rewarded him with one thousand spirit stones and two million silver, and awarded the general to show encouragement. ”
After talking about these things explained by the imperial court, Xian Yuqiong handed the red post and a black storage ring to Sun Long, and said with a smile: "The things and the marquis's appointment letter are all here, you can take a look." ”
Sun Long held the black storage ring in his hand, and seemed to be quite indifferent to these silver taels and spirit stones, and did not show any excited expression.
Although it is said that in the news passed down from the imperial court this time, the news of waiting for the Reckless Earl's Mansion was mentioned, but as the same judging standard, the Tianhai Empire did not give a high evaluation, so as a higher-level existence, will they give a better evaluation? Apparently there is little hope!
Could it be that there are really so many talents in the Reckless Wasteland, so many that they have won the league hunting tournament junior hundred list, and even defeated Bai Fan with a weak victory after the victory, in their eyes, they all seem to be so ordinary?!
Xian Yuqiong keenly discovered Sun Long's emotions, looked into Sun Long's eyes, and said: "Although the imperial court gave the little brother a lower rank this time, but the empire also has the hardships of the empire, and many people with qualifications before you have not received a high title, if the imperial court rashly promotes you, it will cause a lot of criticism." We all know your strength, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, we will naturally fight for you for a higher position. Recently, you don't need to have any pressure, practice well, and strive to get closer to the martial arts, and it will be more convenient for us to do things at that time. “
In the establishment of the empire, the general can only devote himself to the troops of each city as an officer, and the earl is qualified to be in charge of the city, in charge of all related resources, Sun Long's purpose is to obtain a city, in order to obtain the maximum cultivation resources, I didn't expect to spend so much effort to finally obtain a small general, somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhou Tu's eyes blinked a few times, patted Sun Long's shoulder again, and said: "Don't be discouraged, these are all for outsiders to see, as long as you admit that you are a member of our ministry, and you will serve the ministry loyally in the future, the ministry will naturally find a way to arrange a higher position for you." With these own people in charge of everything for you, are you still afraid that you won't have a good future in the future?! ”
