Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 271
So when Zhang Xun realized that he had left a handle for his mouth, he immediately felt a chill down his spine and shed a cold sweat.
So he immediately changed his words and said: "What Lord Yan Xiang said is right, I was negligent for a while and forgot the task of the main bus generation, it's really damned!" ”
Saying that, Zhang Xun said to Ji Ling with an apologetic expression: "General Ji Ling, it seems that I can't help you, and I also have a heavy responsibility under my body, so I can't take time out to help the general." ”
Ji Ling's eyes widened, and he said loudly, "Zhang Xun, what do you mean by this?" Just now you said that you want to help me, but in a blink of an eye, you changed your mind, and turning your face is faster than turning a book? ”
After being reprimanded by Ji Ling, Zhang Xun said with an embarrassed face: "General Ji Ling, it's not that I, Zhang Xun, don't believe in what I say, but Zhang Xun is really impulsive, and I almost forgot the important responsibility of the main bus generation, if General Ji Ling wants to blame, blame me Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun still can't leave his post without permission, and I hope that General Ji Ling will forgive me!" ”
Zhang Xun said, apologizing to Ji Ling, compared to offending Ji Ling, he is still more afraid of making his lord Yuan Shu angry, as the so-called "the lesser of two evils", since he has said the wrong thing irreparably, then he can only choose the side that has less damage in comparison, although he doesn't want to offend Ji Ling, but if he offends him, his life can still be worry-free, but once he offends Yuan Shu, he will lose his official position and demote at worst, and he will be imprisoned and killed.
In comparison, of course he would have chosen so.
But at this time, it was Ji Ling's turn to be very unhappy, obviously Zhang Xun had just said that he would help him, which made him feel a lot more at ease, but in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xun regretted changing his words, looking at it like this, even if he was in danger in Xuzhou and was isolated, this Zhang Xun was going to watch it there.
Ji Ling glared at Zhang Xun and snorted heavily, although he was angry, everyone was a general under Yuan Shu, even if he was favored, he didn't have the power to kill other generals, so at this time, he was angry, but he couldn't do anything to Zhang Xun.
But Yan Xiang is different, originally he is usually a dispensable small character, if he doesn't speak, others won't know that he exists, like this, Yuan Shu can't look down on him at all, let alone say it
Pay attention to it, look at that Yuan Lian, his intelligence and merit are much higher than Yan Xiang, but his status in Yuan Shu's mind is not as high as the group of gods who pretended to be ghosts just came, not to mention that Yuan Lian is often bullied by Ji Ling's gang, and his status is low, which can be imagined.
Since Yuan Jian is like this, then this Yan Xiang is even less worth mentioning, besides, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Ji Ling as soon as they met, if it weren't for the other two generals who coveted his plan and repeatedly blocked Ji Ling's shots, Ji Ling would have beaten him a long time ago.
Now Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui have been instructed by Yan Xiang and know what to do, but Ji Ling is the only one who has not gotten anything, and he is angry, but he is already staring at Yan Xiang with a fierce light, as if he is going to do something to him at any time.
And Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, since they have already got the results they want, then Yan Xiang has no value to them, they can't stop Ji Ling anymore, not to mention that Zhang Xun offended Ji Ling because of what he said just now, if he is stopping him, maybe even Zhang Xun himself is in danger.
In the face of this number one fierce general under Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui were afraid, in case this person was angry and moved to kill, the two of them together would not be able to stop him, maybe even they themselves would have to worry about their lives, so if they could not provoke him, they would not provoke him.
Seeing Ji Ling's unkind look, as well as Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui's attitude of turning a blind eye and hearing nothing, Yan Xiang felt sad in his heart, this is the generals around Yuan Shu, calculating with each other, intriguing, selfish, Yan Xiang helped the two of them, and in a blink of an eye, they crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and they didn't recognize people.
But Yan Xiang didn't have hope for them, and he had expected such a result, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt uncomfortable, after all, the lord he worked for and the people around him were all like this, and it was conceivable how far they could go.
For his own safety, Yan Xiang opened his mouth and said: "General Ji Ling doesn't need to be anxious, even if General Zhang Xun can't help General Ji Ling, with the general's bravery, this expedition will definitely return triumphantly." ”
Ji Ling's face was hideous, he sneered, and said, "How can Lord Yan Xiang see that I can return triumphantly? Could it be that Lord Yan Xiang is also like the group of immortals in Sage Mountain, there are unpredictable prophets
Magical powers? ”
Ji Ling's tone was already unkind, and his politeness to Yan Xiang made people shudder.
How did Yan Xiang not know that Ji Ling had bad intentions? But if he was afraid, he wouldn't have repeatedly said anything to Ji Ling, since he dared to do this in front of Ji Ling, it showed that Yan Xiang had no fear, and he was confident that he had a way to keep himself safe.
I saw Yan Xiang say with a displeased face: "General Ji Ling, what are these words, comparing my foresight with those fortune tellers?" ”
Seeing that Yan Xiang was not afraid of his appearance, Ji Ling was also a little surprised, after all, except for Yuan Shu, anyone who saw him angry would feel afraid, in the past, there was a military general who spoke disrespectfully to him, Ji Ling actually pinched this person's head with his bare hands in front of Yuan Shu and all the military generals, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui were also present at that time, and witnessed the terrifying scene, and still have palpitations.
But when Yuan Shu saw it at the time, he didn't blame Ji Ling, but praised him for his bravery, and gave him a battle armor and a pair of bows and arrows, while the general who was pinched and shot by Ji Ling was thrown out like garbage and cleaned up by his family.
This is Yuan Shu's way of doing things, as long as he likes it, whether it is good or bad, he will be rewarded, but if he doesn't like it, even if he has made great contributions, he doesn't care about it, and even makes it difficult in every way, this is the current situation of Yuan Shu, he has a huge advantage, but he doesn't grasp it well, and squander it wantonly, it is conceivable that in the near future, he will pay a painful price for his short-sightedness and stupidity.
People with foresight and talent have already seen it, so even if Yuan Shu has the land of Huainan and the prominent reputation of the "Four Worlds and Three Dukes" of the Yuan family in Runan, the vast majority of talented people are unwilling to serve him, and only those who are greedy for fame and wealth will approach this Yuan Shu, which is the so-called principle of gathering people by like.
And he, Yan Xiang, if it weren't for the face of his friend Yuan Lian, he wouldn't have entrusted his talent to such a stupid and short-sighted person.
But now, he has no choice but to take one step at a time, maybe this is fate, right?
