Chapter 331: Falling Flowers Intentionally
The welcome dinner of Hongshan College is different from other places: outside the main gate of the south of the academy, the director-level demon master personally greets the guests, and there are a number of senior tutors and student representatives on both sides, dressed up to cheer. The visiting guests greeted the guests in front of the door, and then signed in to enter the venue. If you are interested in developing your network, you can also compliment and talk to the teachers and students of Hongshan College, but such people probably have no real talent to learn, and it is difficult for the teachers and students who welcome them to maintain a good face. Only those who are famous and well-connected can talk and laugh with the masters in front of the door.
Compared with the gold-lettered signboard of Hongshan College, the tradition of going out to welcome guests is a clear proof of the hospitality of Hongshan people, compared to the White Night City, which is cold and arrogant, and the people who go to the banquet, regardless of their status, need to hold an invitation card and go all the way to the venue under the guidance of the guards.
However, this year's Hongshan Academy's hospitality has reached an extraordinary level, and the south gate is no longer greeted by the director of the college, but the world-famous Broken Sect Master Zhu Junshen.
The second person in the world with gray hair, without the slightest concern of condescension, stood outside the south gate in person, and smiled warmly at the guests who kept coming and going. Then when the other party is flattered, they gently caress each other. The Great Grandmaster is not only profoundly attained in the Demon Dao, but also has extraordinary skills in ushering in the send-off, often in a single sentence, he can tell the life and deeds of the visitor, even if it is relatively mediocre, the Grand Master will also inspire him as an elder.
Such an approachable attitude, as well as the erudition of knowing the people and things in the world, is so admirable that people can not add it to the limit, the thirteen grandmasters in the world, who can achieve the level of Zhu Junshen? For a while, the grandmaster's body showed a fanatical atmosphere like a saint's sermon, and the demon Taoists from all over the world rushed to the front of the great master, just for each other's kind words, a smile, they were overjoyed, and grateful.
And only the giants of the academy council who stood next to the grandmaster as the background would from time to time turn their eyes to the secretary general behind the great grandmaster, a certain secretary general who hid his tracks like a shadow.
It is true that the Great Grandmaster has almost omniscient omnipotence in the Demon Dao Realm, but the one who really knows the world is the one who can tirelessly deal with the trivial things of daily life. This is really invincible for teachers and students to cooperate.
Of course, the council giants will not be reduced to a background board for a while, and when the Grandmaster is overcrowded, they will come forward to divert the guests and talk to them in a different way.
Shut them out no matter what!
The frenetic atmosphere outside the South Gate made most of the guests unaware that by the time they were happily chatting, the scheduled dinner time had long since passed......
And Zhu Junshen played the role of the god of the South Gate, keeping everyone out of the door, and at the same time he was busy sending gentle and polite inquiries to the disciples who were on the front line in the Blur Domain.
"Isn't Ying Ruoying's side okay?!What the hell are you doing!?"
Then the original poem adhered to the duties of the younger students and responded politely: "If your brain is not in the water, you should know that you have the effort to waste your tongue here, and ask her directly if she is okay!? I also want to know what she is doing!"
"Nonsense, if I can reach her, why should I ask you!
The pomp and circumstance outside the South Gate was really unexpected. Because one of the protagonists of the dinner, the eldest princess Ying Ruoying, actually stopped in the basement of the old rain building and ignored the grand exchange dinner!
And in the absence of the protagonist, how will this banquet be held? And the eldest princess's condition is unstable, who can have the leisure to drink and eat? Not to mention that in addition to Ying Ruoying, there is also a grandmaster who is also not in the state, and in desperation, Zhu Junshen came to the south gate in person, blocked everyone out of the door on the grounds of welcoming guests, and forcibly postponed the convening of the dinner.
But this move was only a temporary measure after all, no matter how big the grandmaster's face was, it was no bigger than the belly of the people gradually gurgling...... When Zhu Junshen's heart became more and more anxious, he heard a faint burst of laughter outside the crowd, and the laughter seemed to be as noisy and discordant as an iron clash in the harmonious south gate, which made him frown.
It's probably that person here...... Really, the feeling of a roof leak happening in the overnight rain.
——
"Excuse me, let ...... trouble"
"Eh, isn't this the head of the Demon Dao Council of the Great Qin Empire? What kind of wind is blowing you? Has the fragrant wind of the dinner food already blown to the White Night City?"
"Well, I'm here for an academic exchange......
"Speaker, now that the development of human demonic civilization has encountered a bottleneck again, and the number of apocalypse has not been able to increase for a long time, you don't pay attention to this kind of major event related to the world, and come here to participate in academic exchanges at the district level, is it considered a bad job?"
"Both, both are ...... to be taken into account"
"Speaker, are you juggling both food and presence, right? I heard that the council headquarters can't pay out this month's bonus?"
Chen Siwen was suddenly embarrassed: "Bonus, bonus, how can there be a certain amount of ......"
Then there are some difficult words, such as "The less the bonus, the more good fortune." ", "wolf culture" and the like, for a time the crowd was filled with a happy air.
The Great Qin Demon Dao Council, in the eyes of many Demon Daoists, has long been an out-and-out joke, and people like Chen Siwen who are running for their lives are also an out-and-out joke - if they are content to retire in the White Night City, everyone is okay, but out of various considerations, or the pressure of the White Night City, Chen Siwen always wants to do something in the name of the Council to "command the world", sometimes calling on the Great Qin Demon Daoist to be thrifty, carry forward the spirit of hard work and simplicity, and sometimes call on the people of the world to brainstorm to overcome an incredible Demon Dao problem...... is obviously just a miscellaneous fish with no real power, but from time to time they have to jump out and wave their flags and shout, and Chen Siwen's reputation can be imagined.
But Chen Siwen has been the speaker for many years, and he knows that he has nothing to say to these people, so he only lowered his head, and while dealing with the ridicule of his peers in embarrassment, he walked straight in front of Zhu Junshen.
In a burst of laughter and scolding, Chen Siwen finally squeezed in front of Zhu Junshen, and before he spoke, he shook his shirt seriously, put on his face, and said solemnly: "Sect Master, why is the dinner delayed?"
As soon as this question came out, the warm atmosphere of Hongshan College's painstaking operation at the South Gate suddenly stagnated, and people suddenly realized, yes, what about the dinner?
Zhu Junshen was also convinced, and criticized many parliamentary giants under him very dissatisfaction in the Blur Domain: "Didn't you stop him!"
As a result, the senior tutors who held important positions in the college council had no choice but to complain.
"Lord Dean, this person is thick-skinned, comparable to the original poem!"
"We've almost sprayed saliva directly in his face, and even the fact that he was given a green hat by the royal family 20 years ago has been revealed, and he is completely indifferent!"
"The verbal humiliation is like zero to him, and we can't help it. ”
"And Master Grandmaster, didn't you say that you want to fight in literature and not in martial arts, we can't just beat him. ”
Zhu Junshen was also helpless when he heard this.
This Chen Siwen is really a dogskin plaster-like character, sticky to people's headaches.
This is the kind of person who really comes uninvited and can't be kept out of the door...... After all, people also have the gold-lettered signboard of "Daqin" on their heads, although their influence is small, but the "level" is not low, they have to eat with a dead face, and Hongshan Academy is indeed not good at driving them out like beggars.
After all, when this institution that could represent "Great Qin" was needed to wipe its ass before, Hongshan Academy was not polite. It was at this time that Zhu Junshen felt that the institution of the Great Qin Demon Dao Council was really doing more harm than good, and it was better to have nothing.
But at this time, Chen Siwen really can't be allowed to be a-stirring stick here.
The Grand Master personally came forward and led many giants of the council to block the guests from Tiannan and Haibei at the south gate, just to ensure that the dinner party went on "as usual", but as soon as Chen Siwen came forward, the good situation turned into yellow.
In a sense, this is really a character comparable to the original poem.
The Great Grandmaster endured the impatience in his heart and responded: "The exchange dinner of the Demon Daoist is just a situation, the important thing is that the people attending the banquet can brainstorm and speak freely. Compared with the word dinner, communication is more important, as for where to communicate, whether there is wine and food as a supplement during the exchange, it is a secondary issue. ”
These words suddenly made many people nod in confusion.
That's right, everyone traveled thousands of miles to Hongshan Academy, of course, not to covet the exquisite craftsmanship of the academy's chefs, but to see that this is a rare academic exchange feast, and many big people who are usually rare to see will show up, and unlike those big people who like to make false promises, this time there are Shengyuan people as catalysts, and the demon masters of the Qin State must show their true skills.
Such a grand event, it can be said that it has long surpassed the scope of the Qin State, and the academic value is immeasurable, in comparison, not to mention talking and laughing with the Great Grandmaster outside the South Gate, even if it is eating mud in the black swamp of the border county, everyone is willing!
Chen Siwen was unmoved, and even a little angry in his heart, how could he not hear that Zhu Junshen was perfunctory with beautiful words, the question is that you can perfunctory the "President of the Great Qin Demon Dao Council", can you still perfunctory Shengyuan people?
"What about the Shengyuan people?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere changed again.
yes, why didn't you see the Shengyuan people?
Zhu Junshen has a headache even more.
Shengyuan people...... Of course, he did everything possible to stabilize it, and now he should be drinking herbal tea in the banquet hall while watching the educational documentary "Two Thousand Years of Red Mountain" just filmed by Hongshan Academy two years ago, according to the latest news sent by the on-site staff, the Shengyuan people have obviously seen that they are on the verge of breaking out, just like a man with sphincter hard croton liquid, the situation is precarious.
If it weren't for their leader Xu Bailian who was temporarily unwell and did not attend the banquet in time due to "unknown reasons", resulting in the Shengyuan team being leaderless, the Shengyuan people would have been in trouble on the spot at this time.
However, after Chen Siwen reminded him, Zhu Junshen also knew that the delaying tactics finally had a limit.
After all, the whole film of Red Mountain for 2,000 years is only 3 hours, so you can't let the on-site staff replay it...... And to be honest, the film was full of shame, and at the end of the film, Zhu Junshen personally starred as the leader of the great rejuvenation of Hongshan Academy in the new era...... Then he defrauded ten times the budget from the college's finances, which was the proud hand of the original poem of the chief planner of the last chapter.
With a hint of helplessness, Zhu Junshen had no choice but to wave his hand: "In order to take care of the hypocritical Shengyuan people, I have to ask you to move to the banquet hall for the time being, the academy has prepared good wine and food, let's talk while eating!"
There was cheering for a while.
After all, no matter how grand and unprecedented the academic event...... After all, academic value cannot be eaten, and the guests have been talking freely at the South Gate for so long, and they have long been hungry and thirsty. And in some remote areas, there is indeed a legend about the food of the Red Mountain, it is said that a certain once handsome master of the Demon Dao, because of the temptation of delicious food, did not hesitate to disfigure, in just a few years to gain tenfold weight, and then also entered the master realm in one fell swoop, this kind of food that can be called a strange thing in the world, of course, should not be missed!
If you really want to break through the bottleneck of the master with food, let alone gain ten times the weight, even if you lose weight, hair loss, hemorrhoids and other symptoms attack together!
Under the greeting of the Grand Master, the guests poured into the academy one after another, and went straight to the main venue of the banquet under the guidance of a special person. Only Chen Siwen's face was solemn, still standing in front of Zhu Junshen, and he stopped talking a few times.
How could Zhu Junshen have time to play this kind of "guess why I'm unhappy" couple game with him, and said impatiently: "What else does Speaker Chen have to teach?"
Chen Siwen moved his lips, but he still wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhu Junshen then waved his hand: "It's good if you don't have it, then goodbye." "After that, I have to leave.
Chen Siwen was shocked, so he had no choice but to speak: "Great Grandmaster, it's not that I underestimate Hongshan Academy, but this time dealing with the Shengyuan people, it's useless to be opportunistic!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Siwen was like a flood discharge dam with the floodgates opened, gushing endlessly.
"I was worried that your Red Mountain Academy didn't pay enough attention to this matter at the earliest, and boasted that your achievements in the past two years were slightly higher than those of White Night City, so I didn't take the Shengyuan people seriously...... People are menacing, but they lost their sharpness when they were stopped by the eldest princess in Dongli City, but how profound is the foundation of the Shengyuan Demon Dao!? This academic group is not the most elite team of the Shengyuan, but along the way, under the leadership of Grandmaster Xu Bailian, the so-called academic exchanges have succeeded in unilaterally crushing the momentum! Shengyuan's wanton criticism of our Qin people's demonic civilization is certainly a violation of etiquette, but it is often to the point between words, which makes people feel heartbroken but helpless. This kind of skill is definitely not something that can be dealt with by opportunism! Whether it is your previous flaunting of wealth or the acrobatics in the Sky Arena, you have not departed from the category of 'opportunistic shortcuts', and relying on such small insect carving skills will only fuel the arrogance of the Shengyuan people!"
Chen Siwen was so angry when he said this: "No matter how much you Hongshan people look at White Night City, you should always shoulder some of the obligations of being a Qin person." In the exchange meeting of the White Night City, we Qin people have already lost once, and the Red Mountain Exchange Meeting cannot afford to be lost, so it doesn't matter if you can lose the White Night City again!
At this point, it is almost alarmist, but if it weren't for that, Chen Siwen really didn't know how to convince these blind and arrogant Hongshan people to face up to reality.
He had already enjoyed the "wonderful performance" of the Red Mountain people in the Sky Arena before.
Unlike the vast majority of people who were optimistic after the game, Chen Siwen watched the game and was heartbroken.
First, Chen Siwen never expected that the people of Hongshan would actually use this kind of tricks to deal with the Shengyuan people...... They ignored the 1,800-year-old history of Hongshan City, and left behind the glorious tradition of more than 2,000 years since the era of immigrants in the Western Continent, and instead opportunistically used a snow-capped mountain man to gain face for their family!
Not to mention that the "scam" of single-handing the Great Qin Jin General was simply too much-Chen Siwen didn't think that Bai Xiao really had the ability to compete with the Great Qin Jin General for two rounds at all, and only subconsciously classified it as a trick of the Hongshan people-even if Bai Xiao really had the ability to reach the sky, what could it mean? Did the Shengyuan people come to the Qin people to fight them by force? If so, it would be fine, because Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had already won a game for the Qin State in Dongli City. But Shengyuan people are here for "academic exchanges"!
How are you going to let that Snow Mountain Man communicate with the Shengyuan people academically, exchange the polishing method of the bone spear, or exchange the hunting experience in the northern realm?
As for the other snow-capped mountain man Qingyue...... For such a long time, she has not produced any outstanding results, obviously the Demon Dao Princess is not worthy of her name, and the Red Mountain Academy does not want to publicize it. What's more, even if Qingyue is really talented, what if it is extraordinary? At the dinner, the Shengyuan people asked you about the teaching experience of Hongshan Academy, and you replied: Go to the Snow Mountain to dig up the source of life?!
It's simply lost the 2,000 years of reserve of the human demonic civilization!
Second, Chen Siwen used all the savings he had saved hard to win outside the arena to bet on the victory of the Great Qin Jinjiang......
And Chen Siwen, in order to take care of the face of the "Great Qin Demon Dao Council", insisted on staying in Xinhu Restaurant, and in the past two days, he has really been stretched thin for food, this dinner ...... He had to attend.
If he was not invited and uninvited, if there was no reliable talking point, Chen Siwen was really worried that the Hongshan people would simply turn their faces and not recognize anyone and drive him out of the party.
So at this time, even if he doesn't speak well, he can't care about it.
"Great Grandmaster, please face up to the reality! In the face of Shengyuan's superior civilization, we Qin people are indeed at a disadvantage! Therefore, we can only go all out and walk on thin ice in order to successfully tide over the difficulties. Now is not the time to be 'reserved' and 'face-saving', the catastrophe is the first thing! Fortunately, I have followed academic exchanges all the way before, and I have a little experience in the common tricks of the Shengyuan people, and my time is limited, so I will tell you in detail......
Chen Siwen said as he carefully observed Zhu Junshen's face, and as expected, he saw a trace of anxiety on the old man's face, although he was actually about the same age as Zhu Junshen, and no one was qualified to say who was old.
Sure enough, the people of Hongshan were actually just forcibly calm, and their hearts were already burning on the fire. Thinking about it, the Shengyuan people are menacing, especially that Xu Bailian, after being suppressed by the eldest princess outside the East Fence City, instead of bending down, he has intensified his rhetoric! He has the realm of a grandmaster, and he has the advantage of Shengyuan's demonic cultural heritage, and he is simply invincible in the territory of Qin State.
Maybe the Great Grandmaster himself can suppress Xu Bailian, but what about the wolf-like Shengyuan people behind Xu Bailian, how sure is Hongshan Academy that they can suppress it?
However, this time, there is the eldest princess to supervise the battle on the spot, if the people of Hongshan are really unfavorable in the battle, then the pressure they have to face is not only from Shengyuan.
Maybe there is no way for White Night City to deal directly with the Red Mountain Academy, but the eldest princess has personally won the power of life and death over the Red Mountain Academy from the Blazing Feather Island Conference that year! If Her Highness sees that the Red Mountain people are full of ugliness in front of the Shengyuan people, she is afraid that she will be even more ruthless than the Shengyuan people!
So, Grand Master, please panic a little, and then I can sell the "tricks" that I have been thinking about for a long time in exchange for a few years of operating expenses for the council...... No, this Hongshan Academy dares to show off its wealth in front of the Shengyuan people, obviously recently made an incredible windfall, and at this time, he is simply sorry for his decades of poverty without waiting for the price!
However, just when Chen Siwen had already begun to think about it, he heard Zhu Junshen sigh slightly, and said to the void: "I know, Grandmaster Xu Bailian is sure that he can't attend the banquet, it's a pity." ”
"Huh!?" Chen Siwen was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the whole world seemed to collapse.
Xu Bailian is not coming!? What the hell is that bastard doing? This kind of opportunity that is most suitable for you to show off your might, you want to miss it in vain?
And you're just missing the opportunity, what about my clever plan?!What about the operating expenses of the council headquarters?And what about my pension!?
No, don't panic, things haven't reached a desperate situation yet, even if Xu Bailian doesn't appear, the Shengyuan people will languish, and there will be another variable in the banquet after all...... The eldest princess is a cherry blossom!
As we all know, the relationship between Ying Ruoying and Red Mountain Academy is extraordinarily delicate. If Xu Bailian attends the dinner, Ying Ruoying will most likely watch from the wall, and wait for a party to fall into the wind and then make it worse. But Xu Bailian didn't attend, and the Shengyuan crowd was leaderless, so it was difficult to threaten the Red Mountain Academy, which had a grandmaster, that ...... Ying Ruoying's attitude is difficult to say.
With the willfulness of Her Royal Highness the princess, it is also very possible to help the Shengyuan people teach the Hongshan people a lesson!
And I have been fully prepared for this moment a long time ago, and my clever plan includes not only a plan to deal with the Shengyuan people, but also a plan to deal with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!
After all, he Chen Siwen is an out-and-out White Night person, when the eldest princess has not yet achieved the magic path, he has already witnessed her take-off, and many little secrets about Her Royal Highness the princess are really only known to some elderly White Nights!
And at this moment, I heard Zhu Junshen sigh softly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not here either......?" It's a pity. ”
