Chapter Seventy-Nine - Apologies
After taking a shower from the locker room, it was already half dark, and the cool evening breeze was blowing, except for being a little weak, Jiang Xiu no longer had the slightest discomfort, and he was basically recovered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Uncle Jiang Xiu~" Xiao Qin Yun's crisp voice came from not far away, and I saw that on the lawn at the entrance of the competition venue, Xiao Qin Yun, William, Yeltsin, Jin Lei, Xu Ziqing, and even Li Jing were guarding there, girls like Xu Ziqing and Xiao Qin Yun, whose physique was not very good, already had a faint flush on their cheeks, after all, Ya'an Academy was at high altitude, although there was a layer of isolation cover, but the temperature was still much lower than that on the ground, plus the weather was late and cold, and the girls were freezing and rubbing their hands.
It looks like they've been waiting at the door for quite some time.
Jiang Xiu's heart swelled with emotion, he stepped forward and squatted down, rubbed Xiao Qin Yun's little head, and said with pity: "Why don't you go back and wait for Uncle Jiang Xiu, it's so cold outside, why are you waiting for me stupidly?" ”
"Xiao Qin Yun is not worried about Uncle Jiang Xiu," Xiao Qin Yun glared at the big sparkling eyes, "Uncle Jiang Xiu, eat steamed buns, Uncle William just bought it, it's still hot." ”
Xiao Qin Yun took out two hot buns from his arms and handed them to Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu took the buns, was silent for a long time, stood up, took two steps back, and bowed to everyone: "Thank you for your concern, Jiang Xiu will never forget this life." ”
Everyone's faces showed surprise, and Jin Lei stepped forward to help Jiang Xiu and said, "Little brother Jiang Xiu, what are you doing here?" Everyone is like brothers, why should you be so polite. ”
William smiled slightly, although he didn't step forward to support Jiang Xiu, but he also said, "Brother Jiang Xiu, you can't help but be too outside." ”
Jiang Xiu straightened up and didn't say anything more, just said loudly: "Let's go, go back to the embassy, I'll invite everyone to have a good meal." ”
……
On the top of the tower, the two symbols of Ya'an civilization, the priest and the priest, sat on a high throne, and their usually calm and indifferent faces showed a trace of solemnity.
"What happened to this memory manifesting so blatantly?" The priest's words were filled with worry.
"I don't know, it's just that this so-called really makes us uneasy, if we let it go again, this carrier is unscrupulous, and I don't know what else to do." There was a cautious look on her face, worried.
"My heart is uneasy, what this memory does is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, if it is right, what is the matter with him appearing openly three times and twice, if it is evil, wouldn't it be a tiger for us to put him in Anyang Academy?"
"It's a pity that we don't know where his identity came from, otherwise we would have known what was right or wrong," the priest continued, after a moment of silence, "Eclipse is no longer a tower, and we don't know when it will return, so it's better for us to go and talk to this memory carrier ourselves than to speculate here." ”
"No." Zi frowned and said, "We don't know whether it is right or evil, and this memory body acts three times and twice is very strange, how do we know that this is not his trap." And you said that the non-eclipse energy cannot erase Yuta's memory without loss, so it seems that this person is not the power of eclipse, I am afraid that it is not far away, we go alone, how can we ensure safety when good and evil are unknown, and when two people go, where is the safety of the Supreme Tower? ”
Yu was silent for a moment and said, "What can you do?" ”
Zi's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "We are stationed on the tower, if this son is restrained, before the eclipse returns, we should not know this person, if this son has no taboos, we should open the tower to annihilate it!" ”
"Activate the Tower!?" Yu exclaimed, "Why is this happening!?" ”
"We have guarded Ya'an for 100,000 years, and there has never been the slightest mistake, how can such a hard work be destroyed in the hands of an unknown outsider, but if there is anything wrong with this son, we should annihilate it, otherwise raising tigers will eventually be troubled, and by that time, it will be too late to regret."
Yu was silent, his eyes were filled with deep worry, and he said for a long time: "You should know that as long as this son is not a devourer, we have a reason to win over, in today's world, all civilized civilizations should work together to defeat the devourer, an existence whose strength is higher than ours, you should know how much it is worth, it is really unwise for us to consume our own body, it is not beneficial to the overall situation, and it is a loss to ourselves." ”
Zi's eyes flickered slightly, and after a long time, she said lightly: "Undecided move, and see how that person chooses, if he really wants to mess with me Ya'an, I won't spare him." ”
Yu sighed deeply and didn't say anything more.
……
Everyone was full of food and drink, and naturally dispersed, and Jiang Xiu and the others also returned to their rooms and did their own things.
Before Jiang Xiu could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a knock on the door, Jiang Xiu was stunned, but he didn't expect that someone would come to him so late.
When I opened the door, I saw Lin Ketong standing outside the door, still in good spirits, followed by a young woman with a delicate appearance and excellent temperament, and the two were looking at themselves with a smile.
"Jiang Anhou, I came to visit rashly late at night, I hope you don't blame me." Lin Ketong said with a slight smile.
"It's okay, I haven't slept yet, since you have something to do, the kid should be accompanied." Jiang Xiu said, and then turned his head to look at the young woman with a good temperament beside Lin Lao, "This is ......."
"Let me introduce Jiang Anhou, this is Ms. Pingxin Shulan, the ambassador of our Star Alliance Embassy in Ya'an." Lin Ketong introduced with a smile.
"I have long heard that Jiang Anhou is a young talent, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." Pingxin Shulan smiled slightly, and spoke generously and sincerely, "Pingxin Shulan has been dealing with diplomatic affairs with Ya'an these days, and has not had time to meet with all the talents from the Star Alliance, I am really ashamed, I am here to ask for guilt today, and I hope Jiang Anhou will not blame you."
"Madam Ambassador......" Jiang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, he had long known that the ambassador of the Star Alliance in Ya'an was from the Pingxin family, and when he really saw it at this moment, his heart was still slightly complicated, but he didn't say anything, turned sideways and said, "Please come in, two of you, let's come in." ”
"Thank you." Pingxin Shu Lan Yingying gave a salute, and then walked into the room, Lin Ketong followed closely, Jiang Xiu closed the door and walked into the room.
The guest and the host took their seats, and Lin Ketong got straight to the point: "Jiang Anhou, we are here this time to congratulate Jiang Anhou on defeating the genius Li Yin of the younger generation of Ya'an, and to promote the prestige of our country, which is actually an unprecedented event since the contact with Ya'an, and we also plan to hold a celebration ceremony for Jiang Anhou tomorrow, and I hope that Jiang Anhou will come to speak at that time." ”
Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Elder Lin, the ceremony is not necessary, it is just a competition between individuals, why make it so troublesome, a small competition is nothing." ”
"Jiang Anhou's words are wrong." Lin Ketong said with a smile, "That's right, this matter was indeed just a small comparison between you and Li Yin at the beginning, but you are also clear, after this matter was learned by the high-level of the empire and Ya'an, the nature has changed, this competition has faintly become a contest between the empire and Ya'an, Jiang Anhou, your victory this time has greatly boosted morale, I am waiting for a ceremony just to show the respect of our colleagues in the embassy in Ya'an, and there will be awards from the empire later, so I hope Jiang Anhou you must not shirk." ”
Lin Ketong's tone was sincere, an old man asked so much of himself, Jiang Xiu really couldn't shirk, pondered for a moment, Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Since this is the case, I won't shirk, but I also have a small request, that is, I hope that Lin Lao, you can postpone this celebration ceremony a little, and wait for the imperial reward to come down and do it together, otherwise I will have to participate in this kind of gathering twice, which is really not in line with my purpose of coming to Ya'an to study." ”
Lin Ketong laughed and said, "No wonder Jiang Anhou can have such an achievement at such a young age, I am far behind." ”
Jiang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Lin Lao praises. ”
"The second thing," Pingxin Shulan, who had been smiling beside him, said, "Because there are some things in today's competition that we really can't understand, and I hope that Jiang Anhou can explain one or two things to us, and we can also have an explanation for the empire." ”
Although Pingxin Shulan did not say which thing, the two sides knew it, and it was not good to point it out.
Jiang Xiu's face did not change, he naturally couldn't say that it was because there was still a figure in his body, during the competition, it was actually him who was powerful, and it had nothing to do with him, if he really said so, I am afraid that he would have to be sent back to the empire tomorrow to be studied by the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
Of course, he had already thought about the reason, and he was naturally not in a hurry at the moment, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, in fact, the reason why I was able to win against Li Yin today is mainly related to a phantom star emblem invented by the teacher two days ago, this phantom star emblem can camouflage the momentum of the strong and play a deterrent role, I also rely on this trick to win the game, otherwise you can also see the situation at that time, Li Yin's strength is very strong, I have already won his move, and the victory or defeat is just a thought." ”
"I see, thank you Jiang Anhou for helping us solve my doubts." To be honest, Jiang Xiu's excuse is not clever at all, but Pingxin Shulan actually did not question it, but directly expressed his belief, and the cattiness and tacit understanding in it naturally needless to say, "But no matter what, Jiang Anhou's ability to defeat Li Yin fully shows Jiang Anhou's own strength, and then I think that Jiang Anhou can have such an achievement at a young age, I admire and envy it." ”
"Madam Ambassador is wrong." Jiang Xiu said with a smile, but he didn't see how dissatisfied he was with the people of the Pingxin family.
"Actually, this time, in addition to the previous two official matters, Shu Lan also has a private matter that she wants to talk to Jiang Anhou." Pingxin Shulan's tone changed, and he said suddenly.
Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Madam Ambassador, I'll just talk about things, isn't it a little bad to talk about private matters on such an occasion." ”
Jiang Xiu's tone suddenly turned cold, and he didn't save face for Pingxin Shulan, and only then did he see his prejudice against Pingxin's family.
Pingxin Shulan stiffened slightly, then turned his head and looked at Lin Ketong.
"Jiang Anhou, since Ms. Pingxin has a private matter, I don't think I can't listen to it, speaking of which, everyone is a dark blue person, and they are born from the same root, so they may not be able to support each other." Lin Ketong said suddenly.
Jiang Xiu sighed, this respectable old man has opened his mouth to plead, he can not respect Pingxin Shulan, but it does not mean that he can not respect this old man who has dedicated his life to the Star Alliance.
Jiang Xiu took a deep breath and looked at Pingxin Shulan: "Madam Ambassador, please speak." But I hope you will make a long story short, to be honest, I am a little tired today and want to rest early. ”
"This is natural," in the face of Jiang Xiu's unkindness, Pingxin Shulan's face did not have the slightest anger, and said sincerely, "I came this time, in addition to official business, I also hope to apologize to the Venerable Master on behalf of the Pingxin family." In the early years, the family listened to the traitor's words, so that the master was forced to leave the family, which was the most stupid decision the family had ever made, and now the family has also investigated the cause of the incident, and the traitor who harmed the teacher has also punished him, which is an explanation of what happened to the teacher. ”
"The teacher has already said back then, Pingxinjia had the grace of knowing the teacher back then, but the teacher also paid it off, speaking of which Pingxinjia and the teacher do not owe each other, why do you want to apologize now." Jiang Xiu said lightly.
"Jiang Anhou, you and I know very well, the respected teacher has a grudge against the family, the family has nothing to say, the things of the year do exist in the family, and therefore, the family has been trying its best to make up for it over the years, we don't ask the teacher to treat the family as before, just ask the teacher to eliminate a little resentment against the family." Pingxin Shulan said in a low voice.
After a long while, Jiang Xiu exhaled heavily: "I don't want to pay attention to the bastard things you Pingxin did back then, and the teacher also gave me an order, so let me not interfere in this matter, and I will naturally ignore it." I don't want to say more, I don't have any say in this matter, and your sincerity here has no effect at all. ”
"The teacher treats me like a mountain, I will only carry out his wishes, I will not disobey them, I don't know if the teacher blames you, but I haven't seen a trace of sincerity in what you have done over the years."
"The mistake has been made, find a scapegoat to punish it, just give a little gift to make up for it? The head of your family has never really thought about who the real culprit was back then! Although the teacher doesn't seem to be good at words, he understands very well in his heart, he is such a person who values affection and righteousness, and he is not willing to go back to Shenlan and his hometown until now, what do you think is the reason? ”
"Needless to say, please go back to the ambassador and say it to Lan Hui, when will he get along, go to the teacher in person to make it clear, otherwise, I don't care about this when the teacher is alive, and I want to ask your master when the teacher is gone, he is not ashamed in his heart! That's it, please! ”
Pingxin Shulan looked at the young man in his twenties in front of her, and she had a feeling that he was communicating with his peers, and this young man wanted and understood things even more thoroughly than they were old politicians, which surprised her.
But at this point, the purpose of wanting to express her attitude has been achieved, so naturally she will not stay long. She straightened up and bowed slightly: "Jiang Anhou's teachings, I will remember them in my heart, and I will see you again." ”
With that, Pingxin Shulan turned around and left.
This woman's decisiveness made Jiang Xiu's heart move slightly, but she quickly pressed it again.
To be honest, he actually wanted to help solve the teacher's affairs back then, and the teacher has been treating that incident as a knot for so many years, he knows that the teacher actually has an old love for Pingxinjia in his heart, but he can't cross the hurdle in his heart, and it would be a good thing if his words could really wake up Pingxin Lanhui.
But speaking of which, he still has some accounts that are not counted by the Heping family, you must know that in the matter of Wen Yuyin going to the bloody forbidden land, the Ping Xin family has made a lot of efforts, if Wen Yuyin is fine, it will be fine, and he will definitely make the Ping Xin family look good if there is something.
"Jiang Anhou, I hope you can understand the heart of the Pingxin family, don't blame them too much." Just thinking about it, Lin Ketong, who was still sitting there, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Xiu smiled bitterly, and did not answer Lin Ketong's words, but asked, "Old Lin, why do you want to get involved in these disturbing things." ”
Lin Ketong smiled slightly and said: "I pulled down this old face, not to help the Pingxin family to redeem the respected teacher, but just to want the respected teacher not to be angry with Deep Blue, after all, everyone was born from the same root, and those who can help still have to help." ”
Jiang Xiu sighed and said, "I understand, Old Lin, you should go back and rest early, take care of your body, the empire still needs you." ”
"Got it, thank you Jiang Anhou for your concern." Lin Ketong smiled and replied heartily, "In that case, Jiang Anhou, farewell." ”
"Lin Lao walks slowly." Jiang Xiu said with a smile.
When Lin Ketong's voice disappeared outside the door, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. (To be continued.) )
