"Plan ahead to be safe. ”

“......”

Xia Xun threw bricks and led the jade to open the topic.

The one-eyed man sitting next to Tang Chuan gnawed on a leg of mutton and said casually: "Marching and fighting is a matter of fate, of course, the capable live in it, and the incompetent are secondary." Among the 7,000 people, the top 2,400 are selected first, which is the most fair. ”

“......”

Xia Xun didn't answer, but just glanced at the young envoy without a trace. Dushao understood, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the one-eyed man and said, "I thought it was so inappropriate." If you do what you say, brother, Qu Long's 7,000 men and horses will soon turn into scattered sand. Now that the top three have been decided, they can sit back and enjoy their success and let others charge into battle. The remaining 4,000 people knew that they had no hope of being in the top three, and they would become depressed, and they would either fight among themselves or defect at worst. At that time, we will only be empty. ”

The one-eyed man didn't sell a small account, and after glancing at it, he grinned: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the rule of the Jianghu people." I don't know the truth of your crepe, and I can't control it. All in all, my brothers in the Jingwu Pavilion are all elite soldiers, and you have to leave me two hundred in the end. ”

"I want three hundred and twenty in the Nandou Boxing Gym. ”

"I, Wei Wulou, want at least a hundred. ”

"I'll ask for two hundred. ”

"The White Crane Gate costs thirty..."

“......”

As soon as the one-eyed man spoke, the leaders of several tables in the room rushed to report the number of people. And the sum of these people's shouts was exactly two thousand four hundred, no more, no less. Obviously, for the candidates for the top three places in the heavenly test, Qu Long has actually already decided internally.

It is no wonder that Xia Xunneng did not cut his blood, and his sword did not come out of the sheath, so he easily defeated Qu Longren's hearts in one fell swoop. Qu Longshan seems to be calm, but there is a turbulent dark tide inside. One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. Perhaps, this is the reason why Xia Xun was reluctant to answer Tang Xiaotang's question... There are some places, and the rules are unfair, how can they win the hearts of the people?

Du Shao chuckled, quietly placed the delicate little abacus on the table, and then said casually and gently: "The wind and rain are miserable, the wind and the moon are waning, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, which makes people's hearts chill." One of you will divide all the top three places in one bite, and there is not even any scum left. How can this be called the rest of the brotherhood?"

"That's it, why can you get into the top three, but we can't?"

"We charge into battle, you sit back and enjoy the success, what kind of rule is this?"

"We have a lot of people in the Drunken Alliance, why only give us twenty places?!"

"I wanted to say this a long time ago, isn't it great if the big fist of the dog day?"

"The dog's eyes look at people low, you have to think about whether it is a fist!"

"Compare, come!"

“......”

The only words were like the sparks of the oil pot, and they immediately exploded the banquet on the mountainside of Qulong. Many candidates who failed to enter the top three jumped up one after another, and the forces that benefited were in charge, and the scene was filled with anger for a while.

It can be seen that many people have long been disgusted by Qu Long's internal decisions. Perhaps it was because of the large number of gainers and the small number of losers in the past, so they did not dare to speak. Now Xia Xun has brought 3,000 people from Anta Mountain to join, which will directly break Qu Long's original balance. And Dushao started again, and the candidates who had been depressed for a long time became unscrupulous.

The atmosphere suddenly changed sharply, causing the leaders around the main table to show a different color, and there were faint signs of anger to stop it. And Tang Xiaotang and Tang Chuan seemed to understand something instantly, and their faces were as ugly as swallowing a dead fly.

"Okay, you're a summer search..."

Tang Xiaotang glanced at Xia Xun and said coldly: "It turns out that you are really here to sow discord, insidious villain." ”

"Sha..."

Xia Xun slowly raised his hand and made a silent gesture.

The indignant candidates in the audience saw the gestures and subsided one after another.

When the scene eased down a little, Xia Xunfang looked at Tang Xiaotang and shook his head lightly: "You think too much." ”

"If I need to use a strategy to sow discord, I can take you down in one fell swoop on the first day I come to Qulong, and I don't have to wait until now. I said it would convince you, and it would convince you. The reason why Dushao said this is nothing more than to dig out the tumor hidden in Qu Long's body, so that we don't have to eat the consequences in the future. Saying that, Xia Xun slowly glanced at several Qu Long leaders on the main table, then looked at the one-eyed man, and continued lightly: "You have all seen it, the rules set by Qu Long before are obviously not convincing. Before, they swallowed their anger because they were inferior to others, but now the situation has been broken. If you continue to be arbitrary, you will only make the contradictions in Qu Longshan worse, and eventually lead to the collapse of the mountain. In my opinion, this rule still needs to be changed. ”

The one-eyed man chewed the food in his mouth and asked noncommittally, "How do you want to change it?"

Xia Xun pretended to be deep and no longer spoken.

The attitude is vague, and everyone can't understand it for a while.

The leaders at the main table waited for a moment and didn't bother to take care of it, restarted their chopsticks, and continued to eat silently.

"Haha. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene had become embarrassing in vain, Tang Chuan hurriedly called the round. He picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Tang has heard that Brother Xia has always stood up for benevolence and righteousness, and now he can see that his reputation is well deserved." I salute you with this glass of wine, and you can do whatever you want. ”

After Tang Chuan finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and said it in his stomach.

Xia Xun picked up the wine bowl and took a small sip.

Putting down the wine bowl, Tang Chuan slowly continued: "What Brother Xia said just now is inevitably serious. We were born in the rivers and lakes, and we are all temperamental people. For love and righteousness, you can stick a knife in both ribs, you can go to the soup for brothers, and Qu Long is a sibling, regardless of each other. However, only two thousand four were awarded for the top three in the heavenly test, and the limited number of places could not be done absolutely fairly. Choosing the best and the fittest is really a helpless move, and we are also embarrassed. ”

Xia Xun then put down the wine bowl and said lightly: "You have to do it if you are embarrassed." Now that the problem has arisen, it is the body of injury, and we have no choice but to change this rule. ”

Tang Chuan pondered silently for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, so he said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but survival of the fittest is natural reason, and we can't give up our worries and take inferiority. You think this is good..."As he spoke, Tang Chuan paused deliberately, glanced at Tang Xiaotang on the side, and after looking at him, he continued: "Now that Brother Antashan has joined, Qu Long has a new look, and he should establish a new style. I can abolish all the rules set by Qu Long in the past. From now on, no matter how high or low the level of cultivation is, no matter how much power there is, including myself, everyone in Qu Long, etc., will be judged as meritorious service again. Killing the enemy, charging into battle, making suggestions, saddle up before and after the horse, and even cooking logistics are all included in the calculation of meritorious service. As long as you have sweated for Qu Long, it will be a credit, and everyone will be treated equally. If the number of meritorious service is more than 2,400, we will choose those with more meritorious deeds to enter the top three, and those with less meritorious deeds will be eliminated by themselves. For the sake of fairness, I propose that 20 more reckoners be selected to be responsible for coordinating and recording the merits of the whole army from now on, and everyone has the right to supervise them. If there is any fraud, they will be expelled from our department. After saying that, Tang Chuan glanced at the candidates around him, and then made a louder voice and asked, "What do you think of this?"

“......”

When the words came out, no one answered.

It is not difficult to see that Tang Chuan and Tang Xiaotang had long expected that Xia Xun would have such a tiger shaking technique when entering the mountain, so they had already negotiated the countermeasures of the current meritorious system. And this rule is obviously still very convincing.

At least, no one dared to say a word.

After the atmosphere was silent for a long time, Tang Chuan turned his eyes to Xia Xun and the others, and asked, "I don't know what you think?"

Xia Xun spread his hands: "It's fair, I don't have any opinions." ”

"I don't have a problem with that. ”

"No comment. ”

“......”

Du Shao, Lei Meng and others all expressed their positions, and although Xiahou and Bai Xiu should not speak, they did not object. After Xia Xun had no opinions, several Qu Long leaders present who had suffered a dumb loss had no choice but to nod their heads helplessly, and they should respond.

The wine jug was filled with wine, and he picked up the wine bowl and stood up again, Tang Chuan shouted loudly: "Since everyone has no opinion, the rules are so set." The same way is the same way, and the same way is the same gas and branches. From now on, Qu Long will no longer be afraid of any strong enemy. !"

"Well said!"

"!"

"!"

Tang Chuan drank three bowls of spirits in a row, and his face remained unchanged at all.

And his words are undoubtedly very rhythmic. One word, the fire of the previous full candidates was turned into pride, and the candidates all over the mountain held up the wine bowl and went down in one go.

Xia Xun's expression was a little subtle, but he found that he had looked down on this Tang Chuan since he was a child. Extraordinary bearing, can bend and stretch, can be literary and martial, and is even more measured than Tang Xiaotang in terms of control of micro details, and atmospheric. If Tang Xiaotang's girl's temper is not so strong, Tang Chuan can be the leader in everything, and the two complement each other. Presumably, it can also cause a lot of trouble to Xia Xun.

"Well said. ”

Xia Xun moved the wine glass to the side noncommittally: "I can't drink enough, I can't drink this wine with you anymore, and if you drink it again, you have to lie on your stomach, hehe." ”

Tang Chuan waved his hand: "It's okay, the wine and meat wear the intestines, and it's a false courtesy." ”

Saying that, Tang Chuan sat down, glanced at the previous topic, and said slowly: "The new rules must be satisfactory to Xun Shao." Now everyone is in the same boat. With all due respect, I took the liberty of asking, how does Xun Shao plan to use the knife?"

Tang Chuan's words were somewhat interesting. He quietly changed his address to Xia Xun from Brother Xia to Xun Shao, which made people feel more close. When Tang Xiaotang heard this, he immediately frowned.

She stared at Tang Chuan fiercely and reprimanded in a low voice, "Do you want to be a traitor?"

Tang Chuan smiled bitterly and didn't answer, looking at Xia Xun.

Xia Xun shook his head and said flatly: "Maybe you don't believe it, but I really don't plan to do anything, let alone go to the knife." ”

"Oh?"

Tang Chuan, Tang Xiaotang and several leaders present were surprised.

"What are you not going to do?" Tang Chuan asked unconfidently.

Xia Xun nodded: "It should be so." ”

"Do nothing?"

"Does it count to grow flowers?"

"Uh..."

Tang Chuan: These people were surrounded by Xia Xun.

According to their preconceived thoughts, Xia Xun would inevitably lead his troops to the east, taking advantage of the fact that the vitality of the royal family had not fully recovered, and annihilating it with lightning speed, so as to prevent future troubles. But Xia Xun now said that he planned to do nothing.

What kind of trick is this?

"You've got something wrong with your brain, right?"

"No problem. ”

"I think there's something wrong. ”

Tang Xiaotang stared at Xia Xun with wide eyes, looked at Xia Xun strangely and reprimanded: "You came to me from a long distance to do something, and you actually told me that you didn't plan to do anything? Are you stupid, or are we idiots?"

"Uh..."

is very temperamental to Tang Xiaotang Xia Xun, maybe someone like Bai Xiu can cure her here. Xia Xun thought for a while and asked seriously, "Then how do you want to make a knife?"

"Huh. ”

"If you do as I say, the knife goes sideways in the hand. ”

The one-eyed man sitting next to Tang Chuan put down the leg of mutton that was gnawed to the bone, picked up the wine bowl and rinsed his mouth, and then shouted loudly: "We have seven thousand people in our hands, and it is enough to run amok in the examination room this day." Isn't it for the sake of fame that we are walking the rivers and lakes and opening up mountains and establishing factions? With such a great opportunity in front of us, why don't we take a break for a few days and raise our troops to go out of the mountains and sweep the four directions! Kick out the pure yang of Huishan Mountain, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, the Badao of the Wind Valley, and the Hidden Sword Villa! In the future, we will have the final say on this square inch of mountain!

"That's right, that's what I mean. Let's start with Huishan, start from the west, and kill around Fangcun Mountain for a round. Anyone with more than 1,000 people will be served with a pot!"

"It's so good, the rules are new, and everyone is waiting for merit. ”

"Since the beginning of the exam, Lao Tzu's knife has never been unsheathed, and he is hungry and thirsty!"

“......”

The hall was full of commotion, and one after another.

The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, and they looked like they were immediately running down the mountain with knives to kill.

Xia Xun ignored the noise of everyone, looked at Tang Xiaotang, and asked seriously, "Have you really fought?"

Tang Xiaotang said unconfidently: "I haven't fought yet." ”

Xia Xun asked more seriously: "Then do you know that fighting a war is to kill people?"

Tang Xiaotang said disdainfully: "How can people float in the rivers and lakes without being stabbed?"

"The knife didn't hit you, of course you can say that. ”

"Pierce me and say the same!"

"Hey..."
