Chapter 36: The Dignity of the Gentlemen (I)
Since being pulled by Liu Xiaobei yesterday to see the terrifying crowd, Meng Wushao was also a little shocked.
Obviously, he not only underestimated the allure of this list of rewards, but also overestimated the financial resources of the ordinary monks of the Great Separation Dynasty. He never imagined that this martial arts conference would be able to attract so many monks.
For Meng Siao, who actually wanted to use this martial arts conference to use the "Spirit Snatching Talent" to steal various martial arts and let the "Broken Phoenix Palm" devour, this was definitely an unexpected joy.
"Thousands of monks, even if there is an overlap in martial arts, there must be hundreds or thousands of them. I really don't know what kind of Cheng dΓΉ this low-level martial arts can evolve after all these are devoured by the 'Broken Phoenix Palm', and it's really a little exciting to think about it...... The day after tomorrow, you can start stealing the day after tomorrow!"
Meng Siao muttered, stretched, sat up, and was about to get dressed and get out of bed, but the door was "bang", and someone suddenly kicked it open.
Young master, I don't seem to have caused trouble in the past two days......
Just by kicking the door, Meng Siao subconsciously felt that the old man was coming. In the Protector's Mansion, there is only this one, and you can enter any room without knocking on the door, just kick it with your foot.
But when he looked up, the figure of the old man in his imagination did not appear, but Zhuge Fei's somewhat flattened face came into view at this time.
Zhuge Fei put his hands on his waist, gasping for breath, and when he saw Meng Wushao getting up, he immediately jumped over in a hurry, and urged repeatedly: "Wushao, hurry up! Damn, we were smashed!"
"En?" Meng Siao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while.
"I said, we're fucking smashed!" Zhuge Fei almost roared at this time, and when he finished roaring, he continued to gasp for breath.
Meng Siao frowned, dressed neatly, and asked as he walked out: "What's the matter, there are still people in this Jingshi who dare to smash our brothers' fields? What is the reason? It can't be Shentu Pojun and Qian Baliang's bastards." β
"No, it's the Thirteen Princes. "Zhuge Fei obviously rushed all the way over, with his threefold cultivation of the Qi Induction Realm, traversing most of the Jingshi, it is no wonder that he is tired of becoming like this.
Zhuge Fei gasped and briefly explained the causes, processes, and results of the incident.
Meng Siao realized that the feeling was that the movement of the martial arts conference was too big, and the thirteenth prince Liu Hao took a fancy to the position of the organizer of the martial arts conference, and wanted to take the opportunity to expand his influence among the people, so he sent a vote of people to Longhumen to talk to Liu Xiaobei and them.
Liu Xiaobie and the others also pointed to recruiting masters at the martial arts conference, fortunately, this year's Yanshan Spring Hunt was ashamed, plus although they are gentlemen, but they don't mean that people are stupid, what Liu Xiao can see, how can Liu Xiaobie and the others not see it, of course, they rejected unceremoniously.
Seeing that the negotiation was really useless, Liu Hao actually took a group of henchmen and went directly to Longhumen to kick the field. When Zhuge Fei came to find Meng Siao, Ji Wulan, Cao An, and Ram Bufan had already been beaten down, and Sima Mad was about to go to the ring, and he didn't know what the result was, and it wouldn't be any better.
"Who did it?" Liu Hao personally died?" In the carriage, Meng Siao asked with a calm face.
Zhuge Fei had already recovered his breath at this time, and his speech was finally less intermittent. He shook his head and said, "Liu Cod didn't do it, it was Cao Yuan who did it." β
"Cao Yuan?" Meng Siao's brows furrowed again, "People from the Cao family?"
"Well, Cao An's brother. Zhuge Fei knew this very well, and said at the moment, "This Cao Yuan is the only son of Cao Jingfei, the third head of the Cao family, and the relationship between Cao Jingfei and Cao An's father Cao Jingyu has always been bad. In addition, Cao Jingfei is the Cao family's preference for the thirteenth prince Liu Che, while Cao An's father is inclined to the crown prince Liu Che, so they have always been very uneasy. β
Meng Siao suddenly understood.
The three kings, four dukes, five lords and nine families, although they are the first nobles of the Dali Dynasty and the nobles of the nobles, they cannot be outside the matter when the prince takes the heir. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, if you want the family to prosper forever and not replace with the change of the emperor, you need to stand in line!
However, blindly biasing towards any prince carries a huge risk. For these families, the best choice is that every prince supports it, but every one of them does not really support it!
Cao Jiagui is one of the nine families, and obviously pursues this truth.
In the future, if His Majesty Liu Xuanzong returns to heaven and the crown prince ascends the throne, Cao An's father will be in charge of the Cao family; if the thirteenth prince ascends the throne, then the helmsman of the Cao family will naturally become Cao Jingfei. This is the tactfulness and cunning of the family, and it is also the wisdom of the family that can continue to endure.
"This Cao Yuan, what kind of cultivation?" When the carriage stopped, Meng Siao faintly heard an extremely arrogant shout, and when he got out of the car, he asked in passing.
"Qi Induction Realm Sevenfold, it is said that it will be able to break through to the eighth level within this year. When Zhuge Fei said this, his feelings were obviously a little low.
This group of them, the highest cultivation of the Ram Bu Fan is only the sixth level of the Qi Induction Realm, and the worst cultivation is even only the second level of the Qi Induction Realm. Otherwise, how could he let Cao Yuan, who was in the sevenfold Qi Induction Realm, pick up three people one after another there and show off his might.
Xiuwei, this is a piece of heart disease that these gentlemen can't say!
It's not that they don't work hard, in fact, they work far harder than their gifted brothers. However, their talent is not good, and no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to catch up with those clan brothers who shine with the aura of "genius".
So, gradually, they became disappointed, and then desperate, and then began to break the jar, learned to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and learned how to be a loser. Every day, there is a sense of unreality of drunken dreams and death, and only in this way can they deeply hide the unspeakable pain in their hearts.
Liu Xiaobei is like this, Zhuge Fei is like this, and the former owner of this body is the same.
However, this time, Meng Siao proposed to hold a martial arts conference, and the influx of applicants made these gentlemen seem to have regained their former passion and self-confidence, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly and worked hard to make this martial arts conference a success!
Although everyone uses "recruiting masters" as an excuse, who doesn't understand that this is just an excuse for them to hide the passion in their hearts.
In order to do a good job in the venue work of the martial arts conference, Liu Xiaobie had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights; in order to arrange the food and lodging of these contestants, Zhuge Fei, Cao An, and Sima Mad even provided some of the family's other courtyards in the suburbs of Beijing.
Everybody is working hard and dedicated, and they really want to do this thing. In order to prove themselves, or to satisfy the little vanity in their hearts, these few days are the most fulfilling and happiest days they have lived in recent years!
There is no reason, no reason, because in this matter they have found their own value!
That's all, that's all.
Therefore, when the thirteenth prince Liu Hao wanted to intervene and take over this martial arts conference with full authority, Liu Xiaobie refused without hesitation, and did not give this prince any face at all!
Therefore, when Liu Hao came to play with Cao Yuan and other cronies, he knew that he was invincible, but Ram Bufan, Cao An, Ji Wulan, and Sima Mad ...... They still have no turning back! Is it because they don't have self-knowledge? No! They know very well how big the gap between themselves and Cao Yuan is, but at this moment, they are fearless, and they have no hesitation and are courageously forging ahead! No matter who their opponent is, no matter how strong their opponent is, they will not back down at this moment! In the face of the arrogant Cao Yuan, there is only one word in response to him.
War!
They did not hesitate to be beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they were looking for teeth all over the ground! At this moment, they were going forward and succeeding, and they were going to fight! Fighting to the end! Even if they could not win at all, they would absolutely not admit it!
At this moment, they have ideals, beliefs, and hopes!
Zhuge Fei didn't say anything, and Meng Siao didn't ask too much, because he knew that this was the dignity that belonged to them!
