Chapter 974: Surprise?
Xie Longxiang's eyes were full of wisdom, and his words meant something.
It was a simple temptation, and with the rich experience he had accumulated over the years of living, it was immediately clear whether the other party was lying or not.
When Jiang Xuan heard this question, his heart tightened slightly, but on the surface, he was silent.
"The previous refusal to join the army was due to some special personal circumstances, and it was not without intention. And now I want to participate in the selection of Martial God Guard, but I admire the god general Chiyou. ”
"Oh, is that so?"
Xie Longxiang looked at Jiang Xuan with a smile, and Jiang Xuan felt that in front of this commander, he felt that he was about to be seen through.
"That's true. ”
Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment and said.
"You're lying. ”
Xie Longxiang said crisply, and the smile on his face converged. "You just hesitated, do you think that with most of my life's experience, I can't tell if you are lying? If you don't tell your true intentions, this recommendation will not be given to you. ”
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but look abrupt, he didn't expect this to be so vicious.
He quickly thought about it in his heart, He Zongyuan's matter could not be said to death, but if he did not give a convincing reason, he would lose his qualification to participate in the selection conference.
What kind of reasons do military generals like this have to say so that they can be convinced and not be disgusted?
Jiang Xuan pretended to struggle with his face, and then took a deep breath.
"Now that you can see it from the seniors, the younger generations will no longer hide it. ”
Jiang Xuan's eyes burst with essence for a while, and his face was full of war.
"There is only one reason why the juniors participated in the selection of Martial God Guard, they want to compete with the geniuses of our human race!"
"Oh? That's an interesting reason, elaborate. ”
Xie Longxiang was slightly surprised, he also thought that Jiang Xuan would continue to make up some fake big empty reasons.
"The younger generation heard that the selection of the Martial God Guard has always attracted the major geniuses of our human race in the territory of the Hengsha Divine Kingdom. Therefore, the younger generation wants to take this opportunity to compete with many geniuses and find further possibilities. ”
Jiang Xuan said seriously, what he said was not a lie, although it was not the main reason, but he really longed to fight in his heart.
Therefore, when he said this, whether he was in a good mood or in a tone, it was normal, and he didn't believe that Xie Longxiang could still see the clues.
The only thing to worry about is such a reason, whether it is a plus or a deduction in the eyes of the other party.
"In other words, you don't intend to become a martial god guard, you just want to fight a master?"
Xie Longxiang smiled again on his face, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little playful.
"That's true. ”
Jiang Xuan said stubbornly, lying in front of the other party is obviously not a wise choice, and it is very likely to be seen through.
Lies are seven points false, and the most important three points of truth can be hidden in order to achieve the ultimate effect.
"Okay, I see, you can go to the selection meeting. ”
Xie Longxiang nodded and said.
Jiang Xuan was a little stunned at this time, although he bet that Xie Longxiang was not a conformist, but he changed too quickly.
"Don't be surprised, I just wanted to test if you're lying, and as for the reason for joining the selection conference, it doesn't matter at all. Many people join the selection committee for fame and fortune, and this idea is very dangerous, but your reason is much better than theirs. ”
Xie Longxiang said.
"But the younger generation has no intention of joining the Martial God Guard. ”
Jiang Xuan said hesitantly.
"It's even less important. Xie Longxiang smiled, "Do you know how many of the current Martial God Guards used to be thorns, but in the end they were impressed by the character of the Chiyou God General?"
"People will always change, and one day you will understand that joining Martial God Guard does not mean being subservient. Go down, the dinner is about to begin, and I'm almost going to show up. ”
"Well, the junior retires. ”
Jiang Xuan listened thoughtfully, and then exited the room.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"
As soon as Jiang Xuan went out, several deputy commanders surrounded him, and Yao Pei asked expectantly.
"Passed. ”
Jiang Xuan smiled easily.
Yao Peihan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, but Xiahou Lie next to him heard it, but his face was a little ugly.
If the other party passes, doesn't it mean that the chances of his nephew passing the referral have become smaller?
"Both of you can participate in the selection meeting, so work hard. ”
Inside the house, Xie Longxiang's voice floated out, and Xiahou Lie was relieved for a while when he heard it.
"Hmph, it's not because of your ancestors. ”
Yao Peihan muttered in a low voice, the Xiahou family is a famous family in the army, and the relationship network covers several legions, especially their ancestors, who have a very high prestige in the army, even Xie Dutong, they all have to give some face.
Therefore, it is impossible for Xie Dutong not to give this small selection quota for participation, after all, the overall situation must be taken into account.
Xiahou Gang will also participate in the selection meeting, which doesn't matter to Jiang Xuan, anyway, if he meets him, he will never be his opponent.
After seeing Xie Longxiang, Jiang Xuan returned to the banquet hall.
After a while, Xie Longxiang led the four deputy capitals to the banquet.
As soon as the supreme helmsman of the Jiuli Legion appeared, it immediately caused a huge reaction, that is, all the great sages stood up one after another.
The ten cities of the human race can have the peace and stability they have today, and the god of Chiyou and his right-hand man can be said to have contributed a lot.
In other words, if it weren't for the military being born and dying in the front, there would be no grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending in the ten cities of the Terran Race.
Xie Longxiang's name was like thunder, and Jiang Xuan unexpectedly discovered that the influence of this military boss was even greater than he imagined.
Xie Longxiang took a seat, on an equal footing with Cui Shiyuan, the host of the dinner.
Both of them are old men, but Xie Longxiang seems to be energetic and steady like a mountain, while Cui Shi is an old man, like a candle in the wind.
The two people sitting in the main seat give people a completely different contrast, which feels really weird.
"The military is outside, and hundreds of schools are inside, and the two sides work together to hope that our human race will rise as soon as possible. ”
Xie Longxiang raised his wine glass and drank with the great sages of the hundred schools, affirming the role of the sons and hundreds of schools in the ten cities of the human race.
The sages responded one after another, and the atmosphere got along well.
After three rounds of drinking, there was no distinction between the guest of honor, and everyone sat on their knees and talked casually.
"Kong Daoyou, can you speak further?"
While everyone was eagerly communicating, Xie Longxiang was idle and said to Kong Wenqiu.
Kong Wenqiu nodded, as if he was not surprised, the two left the table for a short time, and they didn't know where they went.
"Master Confucius is really extraordinary, even Xie Dutong treats him differently and talks alone!"
Seeing this, Mu Gong, who was at the same table as Jiang Xuan, said happily and felt honored.
"If only that were the case. ”
Lu You must know more, and a trace of worry appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Jiang Xuan was also thoughtful, Xie Longxiang was talking to Kong Wenqiu alone, not because of Kong Wenqiu's remarks this morning.
Some of his words seem to have violated some taboo.
Xie Dutong and Kong Wenqiu left, which did not reduce the lively atmosphere in the hall.
Many of the great sages have been able to see each other for a long time, and at this moment, they have a long talk and drink at the same table, which is not very enjoyable.
Jiang Xuan drank at the same table with all the Confucian scholars and respected each other one by one.
He stayed under Confucius for eight years, but after this gathering of 100 schools, it was time to leave.
Master Confucius said that he has nothing to teach, and it will be up to him in the future.
He has formed a lot of friendship with all Confucian students, and Jiang Xuan is very grateful for the many times he has been taken care of over the years.
In the lively hall of the banquet, several disciples of the Mo family came in from outside, carrying a large box.
The box was lit up with lights, and it looked beaming, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Master, a mysterious guest has just given a generous gift. ”
The disciple of the Mo family came to Cui Shiyuan and said respectfully.
"Oh, which fellow Daoist is so polite?"
Cui Shiyuan showed a kind smile, and at the same time glanced at all the great sages present.
"It's not us. ”
The great sages shook their heads one after another, and many people curiously probed the box with their divine senses, only to find that the box was covered with layers of prohibitions, making it impossible to snoop.
This makes everyone more curious about what kind of treasure is inside.
Jiang Xuan and many Confucian scholars were also attracted to the past, and everyone in the hall quieted down, waiting for Cui Shiyuan to uncover the mystery.
"I'd like to see which fellow Daoist is so polite. ”
Cui Shiyuan smiled, stepped forward, and found that there was a mechanism on the box, and if you want to open it, you must have a way to crack it.
"The person who sent it has a heart, but this difficulty can't stop Cui Daoyou. ”
Guan Defei glanced at it and said with a light smile.
All the great sages nodded one after another, everyone knew that the great sages of the Mo family had a unique craftsmanship.
Cui Shiyuan checked the mechanism, and then cracked it in three or two clicks, and slowly opened the box.
Everyone looked into the box for a while, but at this look, their faces changed in unison.
"Huh?"
Jiang Xuan sat in the distance, but he keenly smelled a hint of blood.
His divine sense probed and probed into the box that had been opened, and was shocked to find that the big box was actually full of human heads!
It was a face of fear before death, which belonged to the disciples of the Mo family. Their heads were all cut off and thrown in boxes at random, and the sight was shocking!
"Who is it? to do such a thing!"
Cui Shiyuan saw the tragic scene of his disciple's death, and he was sad for a while, and shouted angrily.
"Who is it! so daring!"
Guan Defei and other great sages were also angry, the dinner party of the hundred families, and even the high-level of the Jiuli Legion came, and someone actually cut off the head of the Mo family disciple and gave it to Cui Shiyuan as a gift!
Such a heinous act completely outraged everyone!
"Hahaha, old Yama, are you still satisfied with the surprise I sent?"
A voice as loud as a bell appeared in the hall without warning.
When Cui Shiyuan heard this voice, his face immediately changed and he muttered. "It's ...... you"
"You have been incognito and changed your face for 50,000 years, do you think I can't find you? What a virtuous and respected Mo family sage, how much effort did it take me to find you? Today is the day you are ruined!"
There was a bit of resentment in that loud voice, as if it had accumulated hatred for many years.
Everyone in the hall was a little dazed for a while, what the hell is going on?
...
