C318 Gamblers and Farmers
Hearing the source of the voice, Gongsun Ze Tian turned his head around in surprise. He was not surprised to see the newcomer, he smiled and looked at him, a teasing smile hung on his face, and politely said to the person: "Oh, so it's Elder Cui. I wonder why you are looking for me?"
"You stinking brat, it was you who asked your Third Uncle to call me. Now, ask me 'what's the matter'? I think you're sincere, brat? " When Cui Ziyi heard Gongsun Zhaitian's words, he immediately became unhappy and argued.
"But don't forget old mister, it was you who came to find me first, not me who had something to talk to you about!" Gongsun Ze Tian raised his index finger and shook it, correcting Cui Ziyi's words.
"You stinking brat, I really don't understand why you always like to talk so arrogantly and quickly. Don't you find this old man the same as this old man finding you? Isn't it all because of that stupid thing? " After today's interactions, Cui Ziyi realized that this brat in front of him was too competitive. Other aspects were fine, but in terms of words, he had to have the upper hand at all times, this made Cui Ziyi feel a bit of a headache.
I beg you to do something, and you beg me to do things with you. The nature of this matter is far too different, could it be that after spending so much effort to help with this matter, you still want me to brand myself as a 'pleading grandma'? "It would be better for that kid to just turn around and leave!" Gongsun Ze Tian shook his head, and took a step forward. He spread out his hands with a helpless yet reluctant expression, and explained to Cui Ziyi.
"Haha, boy, you are not someone who will suffer a loss!" Gongsun Zaitian's words caused Cui Ziyi to laugh loudly as he said these words repeatedly with a 'sigh'. However, this' sigh 'did not sound like praise at all, but instead sounded like ridicule at the other party.
"Thank you, sir, for your praise!" Gongsun Zaitian also returned a smile as he cupped his hands towards Cui Ziyi and calmly received it. There was nothing on his face at all, as if Cui Ziyi was really praising him.
"Humph, I'm not praising you!" Cui Ziyi feigned anger and snorted, and said to attack Gongsun Ze Tian.
"It's all the same to me!" Gongsun Zaitian replied indifferently.
"Pei, your face has been eaten by a dog?" Cui Ziyi was infuriated. When his temper rose, he would usually scold directly, and just as expected, he would say whatever he wanted to say. He did not leave any face for Gongsun Ze Tian.
However, who was Gongsun Zaitian? He was the one who treated all sorts of complaints. Even if he were to collapse due to this old fogey in front of him, it would only take a few minutes for him to do so. Other than the elderly who did not dare to support him on the street, Gongsun Ztian was absolutely capable of winning in all other aspects. He would definitely be able to make his opponents' brain and heart attack at the first possible moment in a 'confrontation' without even needing to hit 120.
Gongsun Zaitian answered: "Don't you know that 'one's own face is used for throwing, while others' is used for stepping on '? As for my face, I've already been thrown to who knows where. I'm afraid I can't show it to the old mister! "
"You ?" "Shameless!" Cui Ziyi gasped for breath consecutively. It was obvious that Gongsun Ze's weather wasn't light, and he had to hold back for a long time before he finally threw out these four words. Most likely, this was already the 'highest level' that he could scold at this moment.
"Thank you for your praise!" The smile on Gongsun Ztian's face became even wider as he bowed once again in thanks.
"How did this old man praise you?" Cui Ziyi was completely dumbstruck. No matter what she said, she was praising him. He didn't refuse at all. Any kind of sarcasm and scolding was like passing smoke in the sky. It was like he had neither the heart nor the ears. He had a completely 'I'm not afraid of burning water' attitude.
"Sir, do you know my name?" Gongsun Ztian asked politely.
"Situ Wuchi!" Cui Ziyi looked at the surroundings and replied. Other than the two of them, there was no one else here, and this was with Situ Qingyun's cultivation, he knew that the matters that his nephew and Clan Elder Cui Ziyi were discussing were extremely important, so he did not dare delay any further. Just now, when he was leaving, he had already ordered the guards to withdraw, so that the two of them could discuss some important secrets.
"Shameless' consonant tone is the same as' No Addicts', 'The Shameless One', and can also be said to be 'The superiority of being an' No Addicts'. Don't tell me that old mister isn't saying that I'm outstanding?" Gongsun Ztian explained confidently.
"You're really mad at me, aren't you?" Cui Ziyi felt that if she continued to talk to this brat, she would directly pass out. She quickly stopped him but she still grumpily questioned Gongsun Ze Tian.
"You're in charge of supervising the life and death of this kid, so you're not allowed to let me recover any interest?" Gongsun Zaitian shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Seeing that this old man had given up his army, he felt that it would be inappropriate to chase after him. Otherwise, if this news were to spread, wouldn't he be drowned by the endless' water army '? Thus, he stopped the 'shameless' topic and spoke to Cui Ziyi.
"How do you know that the letter is as you expected? What if the dean was talking about something else?" Cui Ziyi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he heard Gongsun Ze Tian's words. In the day, Gongsun Ze Tian had already said something similar, and he didn't even see the contents of the letter in the courtyard. Naturally, he didn't think much of Gongsun Ze Tian's deduction.
Cui Ziyi had already seen the President's personally written letter, and had already found out the contents of the letter. In this sort of situation, other than feeling shocked, Cui Ziyi could not find any other words to describe his current state of mind after hearing Gongsun Ze Tian's words.
"That's because you don't know that old fox well enough. Don't worry, I'm not sure about anything else, but I'm very sure about this matter!" Gongsun Zaitian laughed, found a slightly flat ground and sat down cross-legged, then pointed to the empty land opposite him, signalling Cui Ziyi to sit down. Seeing that had also settled down, Gongsun Zaitian slowly spoke out.
"Why?" Cui Ziyi asked indifferently. It could be said that in the entire Surveillance Council or even the entire empire, there were probably no more than ten people who knew about Huangfu Wuji, but among these ten people, there was not a single person who could pat his chest and calmly say that he had a very thorough understanding of that old cunning fox, or anyone who could see through him. From this, it could be seen that after being the Principal for many years, Huangfu Wuji's concealing ability and skill was extremely outstanding.
However, this kind of Huangfu Wuji, was actually given an 'understanding' by the brat in front of him. How could this not cause Cui Ziyi to be shocked? Putting aside the fact that the boy in front of him was only five years old, he was probably only acquainted with Huangfu Wuji at most. How could such a boy have a deep understanding of the Principal's personality?
"If this kid is a natural gambler and likes to walk this life and death thrill, then this old fox is only fit to be a farmer!" Gongsun Ze Tian casually picked up a few stones from the ground, playing with them as he explained to Cui Ziyi.
"Farmer?" Cui Ziyi asked in bewilderment. The word farmer was too inappropriate to Huangfu Wuji. As a President of the Council, Huangfu Wuji's evaluation of him had never left 'cunning', 'sinister', 'old fox' ? Wait, how could someone who was called such by everyone become an honest 'farmer'?
"Yes, a farmer. The 'farmer' in your eyes must be one of those honest farmers who can't get a fart out of a stick, right? It can only be said that you have been deceived by the real 'farmers', whose 'wisdom' lies just beneath the surface of this layer of 'honest people'. " Gongsun Ze Tian could see through Cui Ziyi's thoughts. At the same time, he scoffed at Cui Ziyi's thoughts, and explained to him.
"..." Cui Ziyi did not say anything. He thought for a moment, and the matter was as Gongsun Ze Tian said, in truth, everyone had entered into a misunderstanding, thinking that the farmers who thought about farming the whole time were the most honest people, and the truth was that they were actually smarter than swindlers, their disguises were more difficult to detect than anyone else.
"Do you know what is the biggest characteristic of farmers? However, what the farmers lack is the gamblers' domineering attitude of 'who else but me', as well as their determination to go all out, so 'the farmers' can very well defend the city, but they lack the competitive spirit, which is why after so many years, the Surveillance Council only passively defended and not one of them took the initiative to attack! " Gongsun Ze Tian smiled. He never thought that Cui Ziyi would answer him, so he continued to explain.
"..." Cui Ziyi once again fell into deep thought. If what Gongsun Zaitian said was true, then at least from the development trends of Surveillance Council in the past few decades, it seemed like what Gongsun Zaitian said, was true, that Surveillance Council had always been a passive place where they had always passed through, and rarely had any positive moments. Although they had fought step by step, stable to the point where they could become one of the strongest forces in the world, it was still far from enough.
"And this time will be the same, although the Principal has arranged for so many Surveillance Council's elites to come here, the number of people who have truly invested into the north will probably not exceed thirty percent of these elites. Doing this will only mean that they will be afraid that the situation might change irreversibly in the end, and they will also be able to prepare their troops, so they won't be caught unprepared by the enemy. However, the Principal has miscalculated the severity of the situation. According to the information I have obtained, the 30% of elites that I have previously decided on are far from being enough, but under these circumstances, the Principal still does not dare to invest his forces, but is afraid of losing completely and losing the entire Surveillance Council. From this, it seems that arranging a relatively important position for you is unavoidable! " Gongsun Ztian continued to speak. His calm demeanor made it seem as if there was nothing out of the ordinary about him, neither excitement nor dissatisfaction about him. In short, he was as calm as water, as if he was an old monk in meditation, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary.
But these words were completely different from what Cui Ziyi had heard. He and Huangfu Wuji had worked together for many years, so even though they couldn't be considered to know much about his personality, they could still be considered to be respectful towards him. Of course, Cui Ziyi was also the only one who knew all the contents of the northern expedition.
He had to admit that his analysis and judgement of the Principal was really too accurate, and his understanding of the Principal's style of conduct was so clear that it could make one's hair stand on end. If not for the fact that he knew that Gongsun Ze Tian had only met the Principal once, he might have even thought that Gongsun Ze Tian had lived together with Huangfu Wuji since he was young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deduce the general outline of the plan just by guessing.
