Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

Chapter 468: Disheartened (Second update, please subscribe!)

Yuan Jie didn't make any more trouble after that. Zhou Jianguo's words just now made him understand that what he said before ruined Yuan Qi's plan to steal the Xingluo Sword.

For this, he really felt extremely regretful in his heart. If he had known this earlier, he would not have said what he just said. Therefore, he did not stop Yuan Qi's behavior now, fearing that he would damage Yuan Qi's behavior again.

plan.

"Yuan Qi (Yuan Qi introduced himself before), you are really good, you can take things and put them down." Zhou Jianguo praised Yuan Qi again. Yuan Qi's actions really made Zhou Jianguo very satisfied.

Unlike other people, he tried every possible means to evade and make excuses after he knew he had made a mistake. Yuan Qi admitted it frankly and immediately offered a large amount of compensation. Such a neat way of handling the matter really made Zhou Jianguo very satisfied with Yuan Qi.

This person.

"Yuan Qi, you have no future following this man. Otherwise, come with me and I can give him the Xingluo Sword in my hand!" Zhou Jianguo took out the Xingluo Sword and said.

He really fell in love with Yuan Qi. Zhou Jianguo's subordinates lacked such capable subordinates. He believed that with Yuan Qi, he would no longer have to distract himself from thinking about how to build the Cave Heaven Orb World. Yuan Jie would be very good at it.

Zhou Jianguo really wants to accept such a talent who can complete the tasks assigned by him well. For this reason, Zhou Jianguo doesn't care even if he gives up his plan to cheat the Iron Sword Sect.

"Uh" Yuan Qi was dumbfounded. Weren't they discussing the Xingluo Sword? Why did it become a talent recruitment now? Yuan Qi had never encountered such a thing before and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

.

Yuan Jie was a little dumbfounded at first. He didn't understand why Zhou Jianguo would say such things, but he soon realized what he said in his heart: "Is this person stupid? He is just Yuan Jie, how can he be worth it?"

Where’s the Starfall Sword?”

In Yuan Jie's heart, Yuan Qi is one of his subordinates. He can have as many subordinates as he wants. Therefore, Yuan Jie was moved by Zhou Jianguo's proposal.

"Hey, are what you said true or false?" Yuan Qi asked loudly.

"Boom!!" With a sound, a thunder exploded in Yuan Qi's heart. Yuan Jie's words immediately made Yuan Qi's heart become extremely cold.

You know, Yuan Qi worked hard for Yuan Jie, gave everything he had, and even solved countless troubles for him. When Yuan Qi thought about it, he was still the chief adviser in Yuan Jie's heart.

However, what Yuan Jie said just now completely woke up Yuan Qi and made him understand that in Yuan Jie's heart, he was actually dispensable and could be used for trading, just an unimportant bargaining chip.

As long as the chips are right, Yuan Jie will exchange himself without hesitation. Just like what he did just now, Yuan Jie has already decided to trade himself.

Zhou Jianguo did not answer Yuan Jie's question first, but first looked at the deeply shocked Yuan Qi with a trace of pity, feeling unworthy for Yuan Qi in his heart.

After these hours of contact (actually mental surveillance), Zhou Jianguo has learned that Yuan Qi is Yuan Jie's adviser and is loyal to Yuan Jie. Everything is considered for Yuan Jie, and he can even ask for help from Yuan Jie.

Kneel down yourself.

Such a person is truly an extremely rare talent, otherwise Zhou Jianguo would not have directly recruited him just now.

However, such a loyal person was now directly traded away by the object of his allegiance, Yuan Jie, like a commodity. Zhou Jianguo felt pitiful for Yuan Qi's experience.

"Yuan Qi, do you think such a person is worthy of your allegiance?" Zhou Jianguo looked at Yuan Qi and asked.

Yuan Qi did not answer, just remained silent, but Zhou Jianguo knew that this was actually his answer.

Sometimes, silence actually represents acquiescence.

Zhou Jianguo's question just now involves the most important matter of loyalty. Normally, Yuan Qi should loudly refute Zhou Jianguo at this time to show his loyalty, but now Yuan Qi is silent.

It can be seen that his loyalty to Yuan Jie was completely shaken.

In fact, what really made Yuan Qi shaken was not Yuan Jie's ruthlessness. If Yuan Jie really made such a ruthless decision, Yuan Qi actually believed in her heart that what Yuan Jie did was right and had a future.

It's a pity that Yuan Qi knows Yuan Jie very well and knows that Yuan Jie is so ruthless. It's not that he has great ambitions and wants to use Xingluo Sword to do big things. He just simply thinks that using a small Yuan Qi in exchange for

A Starfall Sword is really a good deal.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, the reason why Mr. Cao was so successful was not because he attached great importance to talents. As long as you are a talent, Mr. Cao will not care how you have plotted against him and caused him losses.

Even if you are miserable, even almost killed, he will still reuse you.

Cao's achievements in his life can be said to be countless, but Cao's experience of losing battles is also countless, especially the "Battle of Chibi", which is even more widely circulated. However, everyone knows that before Cao's Battle of Chibi

, there were also many defeats, and two of them were due to one of the founding heroes of the country.

He is Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, who was once a subordinate of Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's defeat, he became an aide to Li Jue and Guo Si, and then became an adviser to Zhang Xiu. He finally surrendered at the Battle of Guan///

Someone Cao.

After the founding of the Wei State, Jia Xu became a founding hero, and even ranked first among the three princes. It can be imagined that Jia Xu's resourcefulness is no worse than Zhuge Liang.

Before Jia Xu surrendered to Cao, Cao suffered two defeats at the hands of Jia Xu, and almost died in both defeats.

The first defeat was when Liu defected to Cao after Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou.

At that time, Cao Cao was preparing to launch an army to attack Lu Bu, but he heard that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu had joined forces with Liu Biao to station troops in Wancheng, preparing to seize the Holy Emperor, so Cao Cao had to eliminate Zhang Xiu first.

Jia Xu saw someone from Cao arriving in person, so he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender, and Zhang Xiu followed.

However, everyone now knows that Mr. Cao has a hobby, which is to make friends with other people's wives at night. After Zhang Xiu surrendered, Mr. Cao unexpectedly learned that Uncle Zhang Xiu's wife was particularly beautiful, so he went to meet other people's wives late at night.

He went to 'make friends' with Uncle Zhang Xiu's wife. After Zhang Xiu learned about this, he was extremely unwilling to accept it, so he discussed with Jia Xu to rebel against Cao Cao.

Under Jia Xu's advice, Zhang Xiu first secretly stationed troops everywhere, then teamed up with Hu Che'er to steal Dian Wei's halberds, and even made Dian Wei drunk before rebelling.

When everything was ready, Zhang Xiu raised his troops that night. After Dianwei woke up, he fought with all his strength to protect Cao and covered Cao's evacuation. He was killed by several arrows in the end.

After escaping to a safe place, Mr. Cao immediately burst into tears and said: "I have lost my eldest son, and I love my nephew, but there is no deep pain. I am crying for Dian Wei when I am alone!"

It can be seen how important Dian Wei was in Cao's heart at that time.

This was how Jia Xu defeated Cao for the first time, and even let Cao accompany his confidant general Dian Wei for his evening hobby.

The second time was the time for Mr. Cao to "cut off his hair to replace him". I believe many people know this story. In order to set an example, Mr. Cao cut off his own hair because his horse violated military discipline.

It represents the story of his own suicide.

However, many people do not know the specific origin of this idiom, and this is the story that happened on the road when Cao's army entered Zhangxiu for the second time.

At that time, Cao Cao surrounded Zhang Xiu's city, but Zhang Xiu could only defend but not attack, so he surrounded the city for three days to observe. Finally, Jia Xu saw through Cao Cao's plan and learned that Cao Cao was going to attack the city in the southeast corner.

Attacking the city at night, an ambush was set up in advance. In the end, Cao was defeated and returned with more than 50,000 troops. Even his generals were injured.

Even when Cao retreated, he was pursued by Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao. The first time Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao did not listen to Jia Xu and insisted on pursuing them, but they were defeated. The second time they adopted Jia Xu's strategy again.

The pursuit resulted in a great victory. If Li Tong had not appeared at that time, Cao would have suffered a lot of losses.

Through these two achievements, it can be seen that Jia Xu is indeed a talent. The first time he was good at using people's hearts to make plans, and the second time he was good at observing people's hearts to make plans. It can be said that he is not bad.

Jia Xu inflicted heavy losses on Cao twice, even putting his life in danger. However, after Jia Xu surrendered to Cao, Cao not only did not embarrass Jia Xu, but even reused Jia Xu and became Cao.

Man's top confidant.

This is the magnanimity and magnanimity of a person who truly achieves great things. In order to achieve great things, he can ignore previous conflicts and the dangers this person has brought to him before, as long as you can provide him with advice.

There is such a magnanimous person, if he does not succeed, who will succeed?!

Of course Yuan Qi would not compare Yuan Jie with Cao. His brain was not broken yet. How could he do such a stupid thing? He just wanted to. Well, he admitted that he was treated like garbage by Yuan Jie.

Afterwards, Yuan Qi felt extremely dissatisfied.

Thinking that he has done so many things for Yuan Jie and taken so many scapegoats for him, to put it bluntly, Yuan Jie's heart is like a stone. After experiencing so many things, he should have become relatively warmer.

But now it seems that all this is Yuan Qi's extravagant wish. Yuan Jie is still the same playboy as before, who only thinks about himself and doesn't care about other people.

"Wrong payment!" Yuan Qi sighed in his heart.

"Hey, you haven't said anything yet. Is what you just said true?" Yuan Jie urged with some dissatisfaction.

"Whoa!" Yuan Qi and Zhou Jianguo turned around at the same time and looked at Yuan Jie.

That look made Yuan Jie's heart tremble.

"Yuan Qi, what are you looking at? Don't forget, I am the young master of the Iron Sword Sect." Yuan Jie said very dissatisfied.

Yuan Qi's eyes made him very uncomfortable. He looked like he was looking at a fool. If the timing hadn't been wrong, Yuan Jie would have traded Yuan Qi for the Xingluo Sword. He would have taught Yuan a lesson right now.

seven.

"Hey" Yuan Qi sighed. Yuan Jie's words just now completely destroyed the last hope in Yuan Qi's heart.

"Young Sect Master!" Yuan Qi called Young Sect Master Yuan Jie again, but this time, the title was no longer as close as before. It was exactly the same as other Iron Sword Sect members called Yuan Jie, just for the sake of address.

"Tell me what you want!" Yuan Jie thought that Yuan Qi wanted to make the request, so he directly asked Yuan Qi to make the request.

"Request? Forget it, this is the last thing that Yuan Qi and I will do for you, the young sect leader." Yuan Qi shook his head and said, then ignored Yuan Jie and looked at Zhou Jianguo.

"Sir, I can follow you, but you have to give me the Starfall Sword first!" Yuan Qi said lightly.

His request was a bit excessive. He had to get the Xingluo Sword before he could follow Zhou Jianguo.

What if, I mean just what if, what if this is Yuan Qi's plan to get the Xingluo Sword in Zhou Jianguo's hands, and by performing this scene, wouldn't Zhou Jianguo be fooled?

However, Zhou Jianguo handed the Xingluo Sword to Yuan Qi without thinking, with no hesitation on his face, eyes, or hands, as if what he handed out was just rubbish.

Zhou Jianguo's refreshing behavior immediately won Yuan Qi's favor.

Compare this to Yuan Jie who just now exchanged himself as if he were goods without any hesitation. The gap between the two is really too big.

The person who has always been loyal to work throws him out like garbage in order to get the Xingluo Sword, and the other party throws the Xingluo Sword to him like garbage just to recruit.

Own.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qixin recognized Zhou Jianguo for the first time.

To be valued so highly by Zhou Jianguo, and to be able to make Zhou Jianguo give up the Xingluo Sword without hesitation, Yuan Qi fully felt that Zhou Jianguo valued him.

This is just like the importance that Mr. Cao attaches to Jia Xu. No matter how much harm Jia Xu has caused to Mr. Cao before, as long as Jia Xu sincerely surrenders to him and makes suggestions for him, Mr. Cao can regard everything as nothing before.

exist.

"Is there anything wrong with this sword?" Yuan Qiji asked meaningfully.

He would never have thought of this before, because at that time Yuan Qi only had the Xingluo Sword in his heart, and how to help Yuan Jie get the Xingluo Sword. As for other issues, he did not think about it.

But things are different now. Yuan Jie's ruthless words completely woke up Yuan Qi.

After Yuan Qi woke up, his high IQ came into play. After thinking about it, Yuan Qi immediately discovered the problem.

Why could I just see the words Xingluo but not Yuan Jie and the others?

At that time, Yuan Qi was behind Yuan Jie. Generally speaking, he could not see the iron sword in Zhou Jianguo's hand, but Yuan Jie and the others did not see it, but he saw it, and later he thought

Without even thinking about it, I reported the matter to Yuan Jie, and things continued to develop like this.

Yuan Qi had not thought of this problem before, but now that he thought about it, he quickly discovered that there were problems everywhere.

Why did he see those two words, but Yuan Jie and Hou San didn't? That's because Zhou Jianguo used this similar trick to plot against Yuan Jie and Hou San. It would be difficult for Zhou Jianguo to use this trick again.

Let them both be fooled.

As for him, one thing is that he is not the two parties involved, Yuan Jie and Hou San, so the vigilance in his heart will not be that strong. In addition, as an adviser to Yuan Jie, when he sees the Xingluo Sword, the first thing in his heart is

Instead of thinking about whether this was a trap set by Zhou Jianguo or whether this iron sword was a fake Xingluo Sword, the first thought in his heart was to take down the Xingluo Sword and then help

Yuan Jie takes the position as the next head of Iron Sword Sect.

In other words, compared to Yuan Jie, he is more easily fooled.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qi had to admire Zhou Jianguo's calculations. He had planned everything about himself and Yuan Jie from beginning to end.

Thinking that if he could become the subordinate of such a person, Yuan Qi had an impulse in his heart for no reason. He wanted to try out what it would be like to work under such a person.

Since this person had been plotting against them, Yuan Qi immediately doubted whether this Xingluo Sword was real?

Facing Yuan Qi's suspicion, Zhou Jianguo smiled and replied directly: "Don't worry, this Starfall Sword is indeed real. There were indeed some problems with it before, but they are gone now."

"Thank you!" Yuan Qi thanked him. He did not ask what Zhou Jianguo had done before. Zhou Jianguo's words were enough for Yuan Qi.

Zhou Jianguo had indeed done some tricks on this Xingluo Sword before, but now he had removed these tricks for himself. This shows that Zhou Jianguo really values ​​himself and is not trying to play any tricks here.

Yuan Qi is very clear. He is actually not important, at least absolutely, absolutely not as important as Xingluo Sword. Therefore, if Zhou Jianguo wants to plot against Iron Sword Sect, he will never use Xingluo Sword to plot against him, because he, Yuan Qi,

, not worth the price.

Zhou Jianguo has indeed used his mental power to restore the inheritance on the Xingluo Sword. This is his promise to Yuan Qi. Since he promised Yuan Qi to give Yuan Jie a real Xingluo Sword, Zhou Jianguo will do it, so

, he used his mental power to restore all the inheritance above again.

In addition, Yuan Qi still has family members in the Iron Sword Sect. If Zhou Jianguo hands them an incomplete Xingluo Sword, Zhou Jianguo is afraid that Yuan Qi’s family will be harmed by the Iron Sword Sect, so Zhou Jianguo

The above inheritance has been restored to prevent anything bad from happening.

The inheritance of Iron Sword Sect is indeed very important to others, but to me, it is not even as important as Yuan Qi's hair.

"Young Master, this is the Xingluo Sword you want!" Yuan Qi handed the Xingluo Sword to Yuan Jie without any hesitation.

To be honest, Yuan Qi himself could not have imagined that after getting the Iron Sword Sect's inherited treasure, he would not feel a trace of excitement in his heart, as if the Starfall Sword was just an ordinary long sword.

Yuan Qi knew that this was because his heart had changed. He felt in his heart that after following Zhou Jianguo, he would not need the inheritance of Iron Sword Sect in the future. He would have a better one.

Although Zhou Jianguo never revealed his identity to Yuan Qi, nor did he reveal a trace of his background, Yuan Qi decided in his heart that Zhou Jianguo's background was definitely extraordinary, and the Iron Sword Sect was not worth mentioning in front of him.

This is what Yuan Qi guessed from Zhou Jianguo's previous behavior. If Zhou Jianguo didn't have someone stronger than the Iron Sword Sect behind him, he would dare to do anything with the Iron Sword Sect's inherited treasure, the Star Falling Sword. I believe that as long as he is not a fool, he will not

Dare to do this, because this will definitely arouse the extreme hatred of the Iron Sword Sect. From then on, the Iron Sword Sect will regard this person as their mortal enemy.

But Zhou Jianguo still did this, and he also wanted to directly destroy the Iron Sword Sect's inherited sword. It can be seen that Zhou Jianguo's strength behind him is very strong, and at least he doesn't care about the Iron Sword Sect. Therefore, Yuan Qi's heart is facing the so-called Xingluo.

Swords are no longer valued.

"Okay, okay, hahahaha. I finally got you, hahaha." Yuan Jie laughed. He was still a bit smart and did not say the name of Xingluo Sword loudly.

"Young sect leader, you'd better not be happy first. First, confirm whether this is true?" Yuan Qi shook his head and reminded Yuan Jie.

Yuan Jie was really kind to him before. Although he sold himself outright this time, Yuan Qi still reminded him of some things that could help him.

"Yes, I have to see if it's true." After hearing Yuan Qi's words, Yuan Jie reacted and quickly checked the truth.

"Well, the word "Xingluo" is indeed written on the hilt of the sword!" After seeing the word "Xingluo" on the hilt of the sword, Yuan Jie felt a lot more at ease.

"Qiang!" Yuan Jie pulled out the Xingluo Sword, and his eyes fell directly on a certain position of the Xingluo Sword. Although there was a lot of rust here, when Yuan Jie got closer, he could still see that there were

Lots of pinpoint-like tiny characters.

Seeing this, Yuan Jie finally felt relieved, because this Xingluo Sword was indeed the inherited sword of the Iron Sword Sect.

"Hahahaha." After truly confirming that the Starfall Sword was real, Yuan Jie laughed again, and even began to fantasize about becoming the master of the Iron Sword Sect in the future.

"Master, let's go!" Yuan Qi ignored Yuan Jie. He came to Zhou Jianguo and called Zhou Jianguo "Master" for the first time.

It's obvious that Yuan Qi is starting to come into his own.

"Why don't you say goodbye to Yuan Jie?" Zhou Jianguo raised his head and gestured to Yuan Jie, who was still going crazy.

"No, he is no longer my young master. Moreover, after leaving, I discovered that not only was I not sad to leave Yuan Jie, but I felt very relaxed." Yuan Qiyi looked free and easy.

said.

"Then do I have to congratulate you?" Zhou Jianguo joked with a smile.

"Congratulations, no need to congratulate, but I just want to know, Master, why do you only want gold and not other things? With your wisdom, Master, you should know that compared to gold, other things are the real treasures.

Yuan Qi asked with a puzzled look.

This question has been lingering in his heart. It was not easy to ask before, but now they are all 'family', so Yuan Qi asked.
