The figure slowly turned his head, and it was an old man, with three strands of slender beard making him look extremely elegant, and the two eyes under the slender eyebrows were as bright as electricity, as if he could see through people at once. The old color on his face has a charm that has read all the vicissitudes of life.
The old man frowned curiously at the fat man.
"You're Zhou Lu?"
The old man is kind in his majesty, just like a grandfather.
Zhou Lu saw this old man, his legs were so weak that he almost sat on the ground, his hands couldn't clench his fists tightly, and the flesh all over his body trembled, this time, he was really shocked, and he was completely scared to wake up with the smell of alcohol.
"Second and Second Elders......"
The fat man couldn't speak neatly.
The old man in front of him was not the second elder Mo Xuanji, the dignified Heavenly Demon Clan's bull ear who held power, Xiao Luan's grandfather, and the imperial boss who controlled all the military lifelines of the seven forces, including the Heavenly Demon Clan.
Mo Xuanji is usually low-key and mysterious, and rarely shows up in the clan, but when he presided over the Heavenly Demon Festival sacrifice ceremony a few years ago, Zhou Lu still had an impression of this elder, but Zhou Lu never thought that this big guy who could make a desolate earthquake with a stomp of his feet would suddenly appear in such a hole in the Western Frontier, and also sent the Dongfang Pavilion Master to summon himself, an unpopular fat man, to come over to meet.
Zhou Lu's head was in chaos, "The second elder is a military officer, how can he have the leisure to come to the Western Frontier? Is it to come to see Xiaoluan? But what are you asking me to do?"
Zhou Lu couldn't understand that he did marry Xiao Luan Yi as a brother and sister, but the righteousness in the wasteland was just a personal matter, but Xiao Luan recognized a righteous brother, and he had nothing to do with the second elder, and people would not look at this fat man differently because of their righteousness.
Mo Xuan's body is too powerful, and he inexplicably carries a majesty that makes people tremble. Standing in front of this high-powered, powerful and powerful bigwig, Zhou Lu's panicked atmosphere didn't dare to take a breath, and listening to the second elder's inquiry, Zhou Lu hurriedly replied:
"Yes, I, I'm Zhou Lu......"
"IβI can go!"
The fat man's weak-hearted gibberish.
Mo Xuanji smiled slightly, as if he had already understood the character of this little bastard, and he was not disgusted, he shook his head lightly and said: "Zhou Lu, I heard that you are very dissatisfied with the evaluation of your military merits given to you by the Elder Pavilion, and for this reason, you also made a big fuss about Sopero's Chinese army account, but there is such a thing......"
The second elder's attitude is not stern, and there is no tone of reproach when he says these words, just like the grandfather of the family who is idle and pulls the child to chat, which will make people unconsciously full of closeness and trust in him, which is completely different from the aggressive, domineering and domineering momentum of the great elder Ou Yetuji.
The kindness of the second elder made Zhou Lu's heart slowly calm down, not as panicked as Fang Cai, thinking of such an unfair treatment of himself, the grievances in Zhou Lu's heart surged up again, his breathing gradually increased, and he raised his head little by little to look up.
He wanted to ask aloud why he was doing that, but he didn't.
Mo Xuanji didn't wait for Zhou Lu to answer, and continued slowly: "Zhou Lu, the reward and punishment for you is actually what I meant, I proposed it in the Elders' Pavilion, and it was also agreed by me, and even, I deliberately promoted the ...... that was unanimously recognized by all the elders."
Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment: "It's you? why?"
Zhou Lu's fists were clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead were jumping, like a wounded and angry little beast.
He didn't understand why the second elder did this, he didn't know where he had offended this big guy and asked him to scheming to design himself as an unpopular fat man.
He also didn't understand what the second elder meant by telling him all this.
The second elder had a look of loneliness on his face, and slowly raised his head, his voice distant and desolate.
"Zhou Lu, there are some things that you don't understand, and you can't understand them, I can only sue you, this is the result of my compromise with the Great Elder. β
"This year, Tie Mitao signed up for the Heavenly Demon List, this year, it is the year when the Great Elder designed for his grandson to take full power and rise strongly, Tie Mitao must be on the throne, and I can't stop ......"
"Then you have to sacrifice me?"
Zhou Lu was sad when he heard this, and smiled coldly: "It's a shame that I was still full of blood when I entered the wilderness, bullshit!"
The fat man finally scolded his indignation in front of the big guy.
Mo Xuanji looked at Zhou Lu lightly, he couldn't see what the look was in his eyes, and shook his head:
"Child, you are still young, you still can't understand the cruelty and complexity of the competition of interests, and some things are not ...... that can be controlled by ideals and aspirations."
Zhou Lu listened with a pant.
Mo Xuanji smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said:
"The interest of the Great Elder is to let Tie Mitao ascend to the throne this year, and my interest is to establish a special war hunting army falcon in the clan, this army falcon should only be limited to a team of 1,000 people, they are responsible for helping me complete some extremely special missions and tasks, they must be completely composed of the most elite war hunters, they will have the most sophisticated equipment provided by me, and most importantly, they are completely loyal to my group. β
"This falcon, I have been fighting for a long time, the Great Elder will not let me go in addition to monopolizing the military industry, I also have such a powerful armed falcon, so I strongly obstruct it, I have taken the initiative to give up a lot of interests to the Great Elder, and he is relieved little by little, and this time, I give up your interests to become Tie Mitao, and it is also the last step to compromise privately with the Great Elder, after this incident, I started to form that Army Falcon, and the Great Elder finally stopped obstructing. β
Zhou Lu looked up dumbfounded, he didn't know what the second elder was doing with him, an irrelevant fat man, talking about such a confidential matter, this was definitely beyond the scope of what he, an ordinary war hunter, could know.
Looking at the dumbfounded fat man, Mo Xuanji continued:
"So, at this military meeting of the Elders' Pavilion, I took the initiative to suppress your merits in various ways, and then let Tie Mitao become the number two person in the barbarian army without a trace, and let him go to Heihu Mountain to pick up a great merit for nothing, and use these to exchange for my interests, Zhou Lu, do you understand?"
Zhou Lu was full of sadness, and the secrets that the second elder said made him deeply desperate.
He finally understood the cause and effect of everything, and he finally knew that no matter whether he indulged or depressed, such a result could not be changed, because there was a whole set of interests at stake involved. I am just one of the insignificant pawns, no matter how many hero complexes I have, no matter how passionate I am, I have the dream of making meritorious contributions, and I am just fucking bullshit.
"Warrior, I'm just a stupid fat man. β
"Do you want to make a great contribution to surprise Meng Tian? β
Zhou Lu's heart ached, his eyes were red, he looked at the second elder and smirked, and nodded his head one by one: "I understand, second elder, I understand." Can I go? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you and I said today. β
Zhou Lu slowly turned around, and at this moment, his heart was about to break.
His hard work, hard work, all vulnerable in the face of reality, he is not mighty and handsome, and there is no word that can decide the fate of others, he is destined to only be a spurned little bastard in the ordinary mediocrity, he is destined to only use a qiΔ obscene and immodest means to disguise his loneliness and loneliness, and then, in the night when no one is around, he quietly licks his wounds alone.
"Zhou Lu ......"
Mo Xuanji called him softly from behind.
Zhou Lu still had tears on his face, his footsteps stopped, and behind him, the lonely voice of the second elder came:
"Zhou Lu, don't you want to make you the centurion of the first hundred-man brigade in my special army falcon? Alas, I thought I had found the right person. β
"What?"
Zhou Luru was struck by lightning, and reacted suddenly, at that time, Sopero said that he would be named a centurion, which army falcon was it, and he would be notified later, could it be......
Zhou Lu Huoran turned his head, his chubby hand wiped a few handfuls on his face, wiped his face one by one, and looked at the second elder in front of him with unbelievable eyes.
Mo Xuanji smiled and nodded slowly: "So, are you still interested?"
Zhou Lu's eyes rolled, the thoughts in his mind turned around a few times, and he asked cautiously: "Special military falcon, do I have anyone under me, and what kind of treatment are they?"
"Of course there are. β
When it comes to this team, there is a trace of pride in Mo Xuanji's voice that cannot be concealed:
"This thousand-man army falcon will all be composed of the most elite people, Zhou Lu, I want you to help me form the first hundred-man team for experiments, to see what kind of Cheng dΓΉ our elite can ultimately achieve, and the team that will be established in the future will be expanded according to your hundred-man team. β
Looking at Zhou Lu, who was stupid, Mo Xuanji had a sense of high-spiritedness:
"First, I will transfer thirty high-level hunters from the sixth to seventh orders to enrich your team, and completely obey your orders, and the remaining seventy people will ask you to personally select them in the future, so as to choose the best of the best, and each one can stand alone. β
"Second, I'll allocate you a hundred Star Armor suits, one for each of your teams, and arm every one of your warriors to the teeth. Of course, if you need any extra equipment, you can also ask, and I will do my best to accommodate it. β
"In addition, I will also allocate you a large amount of military budget, and there is no upper limit, if you have military needs in the process of doing the mission, you can directly report the budget to me. β
"Are you interested in these?"
"Really? Is that really for me?"
Looking at the second elder who was smiling and nodding, Zhou Lu's head was buzzing, and he was dizzy.
"Are you playing with me, are you playing with me?"
His mood fell from the abyss to the abyss and was suddenly bounced back to the sky, the ups and downs of the little heart were a little unacceptable, and a heart fluttered like a cloud.
He suddenly understood that his usual bastard methods were nothing at all, looking at these elders of other people, if they wanted to play with people, they could play people to death without moving.
Zhou Lu secretly pondered the promises made to him by the second elder, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, and then he couldn't count them with his fingers, and the beautiful snot bubbles were about to come out.
What kind of concept is that to give him thirty high-level hunters at once? That is equivalent to him directly taking thirty centurions and thousand-sized strong men, and there are quite thirty strong and domineering iron guards at his disposal.
Tie Mitao entered the wilderness, and there were only more than a dozen iron guards around him.
There are so many high-level hunters who completely obey the orders of Zhou Lu alone, and this centurion is much more powerful than those ordinary centurions.
Moreover, the Second Elder also had to arm this hundred-person team with a full hundred sets of star-armor-level suits.
The Star Armor Suit, including crocodile scale leather armor that can protect the whole body with invulnerable knives and guns, the Blood Shadow Knife that sharpens stones like powder, and the Hazy Moon Bow for Shadow Snipers, which are equipment treatment that can only be enjoyed by the commander level and above who have made outstanding achievements.
And the second elder said that his team of 100 lieutenants would each have one set.
And the eye-popping military salary......
Zhou Lu's head was dizzy.
Such a team of 100 people can run rampant in the wilderness. The Second Elder actually wanted to build a thousand-person military falcon according to such a standard.
What a humble ambition this elder has.
And Zhou Lu was fortunate to be selected as the centurion of the first hundred-man formation and became the first leader of this army falcon.
"Could it be that the spring of the fat man has finally arrived......
Zhou Lu forcibly endured the ecstasy in his heart, but he admitted that he was not well disguised, and the excitement in his heart had already been seen by the hands and dances of his body. Zhou Lu stretched out his chubby hands and wiped away the last tears of grievance in his eyes, and his muddy face was like a flower.
Zhou Lu didn't expect that everything would take a turn for the better in an instant, and all the bad things that made him deeply miserable suddenly turned into good things.
It's just a shame that he wiped his tears.
Zhou Lu's thick skin turned a little red with shame, he rubbed the corners of his clothes extremely twistedly, and said shamefully:
"Of course I'm interested, but idiots aren't. β
In a few words, Zhou Lu had some old feelings.
Mo Xuanji couldn't help laughing, shook his head slightly and changed the topic: "Zhou Lu, thank you for saving Xiaoluan twice." Alas, I'm a grandfather, careless and didn't protect my granddaughter well, but thank you so much, I heard Xiaoluan say that she and you have become brothers and sisters, and in the future, help me take care of her a little more......"
At this moment, the second elder's voice was full of kindness, and when it came to Xiao Luan, this high-ranking big man had completely turned into a grandfather who licked calves deeply, and there was no difference between him and other people's grandfathers.
"No problem. β
Zhou Lu nodded vigorously, thinking of Xiao Luan, his heart was also warm: "Second Elder, don't worry, if Xiao Luan has any difficulties, I will do my best to take care of her, by the way, this time I came back from Heihu Mountain, I also brought her a gift, I believe she will be happy to see her, I haven't found a chance to give it to her." β
Mo Xuanji looked at the little fat man with a display on his face, and smiled slightly with satisfaction.
As the noble young master of the Second Elder Group and the future ruler, Xiao Luan has lacked anything since he was a child, and he has never seen any gifts. However, Zhou Lu's heart is still too precious, he escaped from the sinister environment of Heihu Mountain, and he can still think about bringing gifts to Xiaoluan, which makes Mo Xuanji see the friendship between this fat man and Xiaoluan, there are more people who can be so good to Xiaoluan, how can Mo Xuanji not be happy.
"That's right......"
Mo Xuanji had an interesting look on his face, raised his head and stared at the fat man in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Zhou Lu, you can also hear the importance of such a centurion position, there are so many old war hunters outside who have countless exploits, I didn't choose, do you know why I chose you alone?"
"This ......"
Zhou Lu was really stunned this time.
