Chapter 284: The Result of Balance

Although not everyone in this camp is extremely smart, there are absolutely no stupid people, and watching Manteqiu's clumsy performance, some people are about to be unable to suppress the urge to burst into laughter!

The officials who followed Mantejou were on pins and needles, and they kept hinting with their eyes that he should stop those ridiculous movements. It seems that Mind Te Qiu has been completely immersed in his 'performance', and has chosen to turn a blind eye to everything around him!

How could such a waste serve as the city guard of such an important city as Nuogan? Li Zijun was full of disdain for Manteqiu in his heart, and he even began to think about finding an excuse to drive this strange and stupid person out of this camp.

But at this moment, Li Zijun suddenly discovered a very strange phenomenon on Mante Qiu's body.

Ordinary people will inevitably feel a little nervous once they fail to 'perform', and then their hearts will beat faster, their hands and feet will be numb, they will break out in cold sweats, and the worst 'performers' will tremble.

But none of this happened to Mante Qiu, except for absolute fools, Li Zijun didn't believe that anyone would be so heartless!

With Manteqiu's strength, under Li Zijun's extremely subtle observation, it was impossible for him to completely hide the changes in his body.

In this way, there is only one reasonable explanation left: that is, Manteqiu deliberately made this performance to prevent Li Zijun and others from making the right judgment about him!

Is Mante Qiu Weishenme going to disguise himself as a fool, or does he want others to think he's a fool?

Li Zijun began to recall the record of Manteqiu's background and promotion process, and gradually, a knowing smile appeared in his heart.

Mantejou came from a less prominent aristocratic family in the southwest. He himself did not have a prominent position in the family, but it was precisely in this situation. Over the years, his position has been steadily rising. Previous years. At the age of his early forties, he became the city guard of the provincial capital city of Nogan.

Such a rate of improvement is rare even in the heirs of the family who are respected by the famous nobles.

But Manteqiu, this guy who looks 'stupid' just happened to do it! This is in a way, it can't but be said to be a miracle!

It's just that Li Zijun doesn't want to believe in miracles, even if he came to this shijie inexplicably, he still firmly believes that water has a source and trees have roots!

For a person who will never threaten your position at the moment, you are usually not very good at speaking ill of him, and even tolerant of many of his faults and shortcomings, and thus become one of the few people in your mouth worthy of praise. There is no other reason. Just because you don't think he can threaten you!

In general, people's senses are surprisingly consistent, and such people tend to get more positive reviews.

But in fact, they are not as mediocre and stupid as we imagined, they will always take credit for their own merits in the name of their superiors and skillfully stuff large amounts of benefits into the pockets of their superiors.

A subordinate who is widely acclaimed, does not threaten him, and knows him well will easily be favored by his superiors, and their names will naturally appear in the list of promotions.

Ridiculously, at this time. Everyone, including the leaders who made this promotion decision, will unconsciously think that this is the result of balance.

The word 'balance' has such an interpretation: contradictory, temporary, relative unity!

It is under this 'unity' that these 'stupid' 'wise men' constantly surpass the 'smart' 'fools' around them!

Come to think of it. Li Zijun's eyes gradually changed when he looked at Manteqiu.

If Manteqiu is really a smart person, he still has to go out of the city to fight, take the initiative to fight for such a fiasco for himself, and cause such a huge hidden danger to Nuogancheng?

After getting a new understanding of Mantejou. Li Zijun easily guessed the true intentions of this guy.

When you get to the provincial capital, you stay in this position, even if you behave mediocrely. It is also impossible to avoid the presence of enemies.

And Mantejou should have known very well that Karma had no guts to capture the city of Nogan, for the same reason. Kama wouldn't easily hurt him, the defender of Nogan City.

But for others, Kama may not be able to be so friendly, which is equivalent to providing Mantejo with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eradicate dissent!

Mantejou did not waste the gifts that Heaven had given him, as evidenced by the fact that the officials of Nogan were trying to remind him without waiting to see him laugh!

As for Manteqiu's later fraud, on the surface, he was looking for a way out and fighting for merit, but as long as he thought about it a little carefully, he would find that Li Zijun would get more benefits from doing this.

Imagine that Li Zijun rescued a city without danger and saved thousands of people in danger, which can better demonstrate the necessity of his rescue, and which can better reflect his heroic nature as a 'god of war'? !

It's a win-win situation, and the unlucky ones are only those who are against Mantejo! It's just that Mantejou has also fought for their greatest rights, and after weighing the pros and cons, these people's relatives and friends will invariably choose to remain silent.

Defending one's homeland and dying in one fell swoop, the outcome seems to be no different, but in fact there is a world of difference.

It is from this that everyone is bound together!

"Poof!" Seeing Manteqiu's 'want to cry without tears', someone finally couldn't help laughing.

Mantejou himself was nothing, and the generals and officials of Nogan City behind him were so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole to get into.

"Do you think this singing and crying behavior of the soldiers and civilians of Nuogan City is ridiculous?" Li Zijun looked coldly at the laughing general on his side, and his tone was full of unhappiness.

As soon as Li Zijun's words came out, not only the generals around him, but even the officials who followed Manteqiu showed surprised expressions one by one.

"Lord Manteqiu, after returning to Beijing, I will definitely report the outstanding performance of you and the Nuogan military and civilians in this quelling rebellion to Virgil Bixia as it is, and ask him to commend you!" Li Zijun said as he stood up from his chair, walked over very excitedly, and took Manteqiu's hands and said very sincerely.

Seeing Li Zijun's move, the vast majority of people in the camp were dumbfounded! If he said what he said just now, some people thought it was a malicious ridicule of Manteqiu. But after seeing the current scene, many people have already decided that Li Zijun was indeed deceived by Manteqiu.

All of a sudden, these officials in Nuogan City began to secretly rejoice! Before going out of the city to greet Li Zijun, they didn't think that Manteqiu's disguises could really deceive this Dongyu's 'new generation of military gods', and many of them were even ready to be reprimanded.

But what they never expected was that Li Zijun not only believed in Manteqiu's clumsy 'performance', but also intended to ask for credit for them without receiving any benefits from them.

Hypocrisy and falsehood in officialdom are common, but since Li Zijun said these words in front of so many people, even if he breaks his promise after returning to the capital, at least it is unlikely that he will blame them in turn. The hearts of these people who had been hanging high finally let go, and at the same time, there was a little more mockery in their eyes when they looked at Li Zijun!

It's really better to be famous than to meet, and a few people can't help but look down on Li Zijun a little bit in their hearts.

Compared with these officials in Nuogancheng, these middle and high-ranking generals in the rebel army, after so many days of contact, they all have a certain understanding of Li Zijun. Few of them believed that Li Zijun would be easily deceived by Manteqiu! Because of their backgrounds, they were highly sensitive to politics, and it was natural for them to attribute Li Zijun's defense of Manteqiu today to the struggle and alliance of political factions. Therefore, they just saw this scene when they first changed color, and soon they returned to normal.

In the tent, only Manteqiu felt differently from the others, and he sensed wisdom and thorough insight in Li Zijun's eyes, and he knew very well that everything about himself was seen through.

"Marshal Xie, Marshal Xie!" Manteqiu no longer dared to look at Li Zijun, and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"Can you send a team from the defenders of Nogan City and pursue the remnants of the Yaksa with me!" Li Zijun said as he smiled and looked at the officials in Nogan City.

These officials in Nuogan City were surprised at first, but when they saw Li Zijun's eyes, they realized the profound meaning of the word 'remnant soldiers', and their faces immediately became extremely pale.

Even if you fools still want to share their efforts for no reason, and dare to despise me, and don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know the methods of Young Master Ben! Li Zijun was proud when he saw the expressions of these people.

After entertaining the officials of Nuogancheng for dinner, Li Zijun refused Manteqiu's invitation to enter the city, and personally sent the group out of the camp.

"Lord Manteqiu, can you take a step to speak?" In front of the camp gate, Li Zijun politely pulled Manteqiu aside.

"I don't know what the marshal commands?" Manteqiu knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Zijun, so he took off all his disguises and bowed his hand in a proper manner.

"Which of the sons of my lord is better? This time, you might as well let him lead the troops with him, so that he can fight for a future for himself!" Li Zijun gently patted Manteqiu's shoulder and said in a low voice.

"Marshal Xie, I have a nephew named Fu Binen, his skills are quite reasonable, but he is a little dull, you see?" Manteqiu understood that Li Zijun's move was to win him over, but at the same time, he was also testing himself, he thought about it for a while, and selected Fu Binen from the crowd of nephews.

Fulbin may not be the best of Mantejo's family, but he is the most pragmatic and responsible. Manteqiu, who began to know a little about Li Zijun, understood that there could be no ambiguity in front of him, and Fu Binen became the best candidate for him to get closer to Li Zijun.
