General Zhou was stunned. He smiled and tried to smooth things over for Xia qingchen. baimingqi of Xinyuan, if there’s any misunderstanding, we can talk about it after the banquet.
The meaning behind his words was that he didn’t want Xia qingchen to look bad in public and be unable to get off the stage.
After all, Xia qingchen was Gongsun Wuji’s friend, and he couldn’t be so harsh to him.
“Misunderstanding? He he he!” Xin Yuan drank a cup of wine and said,”unless I’m blind or deaf!” If you don’t believe me, you can ask this Xia guy what he has done.”
Many high-ranking military officers naturally turned their gazes toward Xia qingchen, feeling very puzzled. What matter could make Xinyuan so angry?
Xia qingchen enunciated each word, turning a blind eye to the gazes of others.
“Say something! Are you deaf?” Xin Yuan slammed the wine cup on the table and sneered, “”You’re not ashamed to mention it, right?”
Xia qingchen had no expression on his face, completely treating him like a ball of air.
He had come here today to give face to his old friend, Gongsun Wuji.
And not a few unfamiliar Bai Xiaoqi.
The truth of that incident could only be explained to Gongsun Wuji. Who the hell was this Xinyuan?
He wanted an explanation, but Xia qingchen had to clearly state it?
Did they treat him, Xia qingchen, as a soldier?
“Since you don’t have the face to say it, then I’ll say it for you!” “Do you know that Lord Gongsun has successfully captured a group of Dark Moon abomination Immortals?” Xin Yuan was filled with resentment.
The Bai Xiaoqi present were all exulted and praised, “”Of course I know! Lord Gongsun was the hero of the three armies and killed a group of abomination Immortals without leaving a single piece of armor behind!”
everyone in the Northwest Military Region is talking about this now. Even our Lord Wan Xiaoqi Yu has been praising him!
however, from the rumors, it seems that Lord Gongsun has not been given a corresponding reward!
The generals of the Northwest Military Region had always been clear about rewards and punishments.
He would never be stingy with the rewards he deserved.
However, Gongsun Wuji was the only one who had killed a few abomination Immortals, yet he did not receive any rewards. It was truly inconceivable.
that’s because our Lord Gongsun cared about our old friendship and gave all the benefits to an ungrateful Wolf! Xin Yuan said with resentment.
“Ah!”
Everyone was shocked,”he gave it up?” No, Lord Gongsun is charging at Wan Xiaoqi right now. Five abomination Immortals are equivalent to 500 merit points!”
“Yes, what is Lord Gongsun thinking! A few more experienced cavalry are also trying to break through to Wan Xiaoqi. At such a critical moment, how can he give his precious merit points to others?”
The crowd was excited.
They were all Gongsun Wuji’s trusted subordinates. Once Gongsun Wuji became Wan Xiaoqi, would they lose any benefits?
At the very least, he could be assigned to a better position.
People like Xinyuan could even be promoted to qianxiaoqi by Gongsun Wuji.
This was why Xinyuan disliked Xia qingchen so much.
He didn’t really feel sorry for Gongsun Wuji, but he felt bitter for the future he had lost.
although 500 merit points are hard to come by, it shouldn’t have too much of an impact on Lord Gongsun, right? ” General Zhou asked.
Xin Yuan laughed coldly and couldn’t help but be angry. Lord Yu has already spread the word that Lord Gongsun has no intention of advancing, so he is excluded from the scope of investigation.
What he meant was that no matter how hard Gongsun Wuji worked, he would not be able to get Lord Yu’s recommendation and become Wan Xiaoqi.
Unless his own strength skyrocketed and he passed the test on the eighth floor of the martial tower.
However, they were well aware of how difficult the test on the eighth floor of the martial tower was. It was impossible for one to reach the major star position in their lifetime.
“What? Why is Lord Yu so important?”
that’s right. Isn’t it too harsh? he’s only transferring some merit points and he’s being punished so severely? ”
The group of generals was in an uproar, extremely in an uproar.
From his words, it could be felt that Gongsun Wuji had already fallen out of favor!
As Gongsun Wuji’s subordinates, not only would they not be able to enjoy the benefits of his promotion, but they would also be implicated!
No wonder Xinyuan was suddenly full of resentment. When Gongsun Wuji transferred his merit points, he only frowned and didn’t have much opinion.
Now that it involved his core interests, he finally turned hostile and was extremely resentful.
“How did this happen?”
“It shouldn’t be!”
“What should we do in the future?”
The hearts of the generals that had been gathered around Gongsun Wuji all this time began to waver!
“Xinyuan’s hundred mingqi, is this true? Why didn’t lady Gongsun mention it?” General Zhou said unwillingly.
Wushang laughed coldly and glanced at Xia qingchen. he didn’t mention it because he didn’t want to hurt his old friend’s friendship. He didn’t want him to feel guilty about it!
Xia qingchen’s heart stirred when he heard this.
It turned out that Gongsun Wuji had been implicated because of this, but he was worried that he would feel ashamed, so he had kept it a secret.
In terms of character, Gongsun Wuji really had nothing to say.
The thoughts of the generals changed, and they no longer had the mood to drink as they tried to figure out a way out.
Gongsun Wuji’s ship was probably going to sink, and they had to find another way out.
“All of this was done willingly by Lord Gongsun. We can’t blame young master Xia for this, right?” General Zhou said in a fair tone.
Gongsun Wuji was doing this out of loyalty. How could he vent his anger on Xia qingchen because of this?
“Hehehe …” hehe. Xin Yuan laughed coldly. then do you know what master Gongsun sacrificed so much for? ”
Xinyuan vented all her anger on Xia qingchen. “In exchange, you’re ungrateful!”
“This guy who received a great favor from Lord Gongsun actually licked his face and said that those abomination Immortals were killed by him!” “I feel so sorry for Lord Gongsun!” Xinyuan clapped her hands.
After hearing this, many generals looked at Xia qingchen with an additional layer of contempt in their eyes.
Gongsun Wuji had paid a heavy price for this, but all he received was a heartless response!
Many generals, like Xin Yuan, couldn’t help but vent their anger on Gongsun Wuji.
“So it’s like this!” Bai Xiaoqi, surnamed Zhou, coldly placed his wine cup on the table and said, then I’m curious. What face does such a person have to attend the banquet? ”
“Hehe, to think that I even sympathized with him!”
fortunately, baimingqi of Xinyuan reminded me. Otherwise, I would have to toast to an ingrate. Wouldn’t that be bad luck for half a year? ”
In the blink of an eye, Xia qingchen became the target of public criticism.
Xia qingchen fell silent and didn’t explain much.
Firstly, they weren’t worthy, and secondly, Xia qingchen did feel guilty in his heart.
He did not expect that a mere 500 merit points would bring so much trouble to Gongsun Wuji.
“The one surnamed Xia, why haven’t you left this place yet?” Xin Yuan scolded.
Xia qingchen finally spoke and looked at him indifferently. “Did you invite me here?”
Xin Yuan’s eyes widened. Naturally, she did not dare to overstep her boundaries and could only say, ” Speaking of which, everyone here is Bai xiaoji, your superior. You’re just a soldier commander. What right do you have to sit with us? ”
Xinyuan looked outside and saw that Gongsun Wuji had yet to return. Her eyes narrowed. as a subordinate, shouldn’t you kneel down and give a toast to our superiors? ”
If he didn’t take revenge on Xia qingchen, it would be hard for the new villa to vent the hatred in its heart.
Xia qingchen spoke indifferently. it’s better to leave a way out. If you force others too much, it’s the same as cutting off your own path of retreat.
