To be able to climb from an ordinary seventh-grade official to the current position step by step, the most important thing is to observe people's actions, especially in a territory like Northern Wasteland, where the actual power of the city lord is much smaller than that of other central cities, but the same There will also be fewer troubles.
This gives some people an opportunity to take advantage of them. It doesn't matter how capable they are. What matters is that they can observe words and emotions and learn to flatter.
Obviously, the current lord of Mobei City has done quite well in this regard.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the scene of the two whispering. Although he didn't understand what was said, he also knew in his heart that this Beihuang was rotten to the core.
The city lord stood on the stage and after a few symbolic opening remarks, announced the start of the hunting conference.
As soon as the competition started, many participants jumped on the fishing boats that had been prepared and followed the boatmen slowly away from the shore.
On the shore, the people of the big family really know how to enjoy it, and they ordered people to set up a small pavilion early for watching.
Among the contestants this year, Yukika is undoubtedly the most promising to win consecutive championships. At this time, she has already taken action, and her arrows are all in vain.
On another fishing boat next to her, there stood a man dressed in white. He was unmoved at the moment. He didn't even take his bow. He just stood with his hands behind his back and quietly watched Yukiko's performance next to him.
While Xingxiang was changing her arrows, she naturally noticed the man's gaze.
"Xu Ji, are you admitting defeat so early?"
Yukika mocked the man beside her mercilessly.
This man named Xu Ji is Xu Fei's youngest son.
At this moment, Xu Ji just smiled lightly and said, "I'm tired, let's take a rest."
Xingxiang snorted, stopped talking to Xu Ji, and turned to focus on her own game.
Xu Fei ordered people to invite Gu Xiaotian to the small pavilion he built early. At this time, he was pointing at Xu Ji on the lake and said: "How about my son? Can he come into your eyes?"
Gu Xiaotian responded with a fake smile: "Your Majesty has the air of a general and will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"Against your will."
Xu Fei was disdainful on the surface, but he was very happy on the inside.
At present, Xingxiang is far ahead, which makes the head of the Xing family, who has been in a gloomy mood for many days, finally show a smile on his face.
Now the Xing family urgently needs something to prove that they are still the unshakable king in the Northern Wilderness.
Xu Ji, dressed in white, stood on the fishing boat, looked at the lake, took a long breath, and finally took out his hand from behind, picked up the bow and was ready to start.
When Xingxiang saw Xu Ji preparing to take action, she couldn't help but frown, but she soon relaxed.
There are so many contestants, but there are only so many fishes. Could it be that he really wants to overtake them?
Suddenly, Xu Ji turned around, bowed slightly to Xingxiang and said, "I'm sorry, my Xu family has a reason not to lose in this hunting competition."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ji took out five bows and arrows from the arrow rack, put on the bowstrings, and immediately shot towards the fish in the lake.
He kept moving, five on top of five.
To an outsider, this is a joke.
Fish are easily frightened. Even if you are lucky and hit five fish, the other fish will have already fled away. Isn't this a waste of arrows?
But Xu Ji's movements still didn't stop. He didn't slowly stop until all thirty arrows were shot.
Xingxiang, who was the closest, could see clearly at this moment that Xu Ji's thirty arrows had all hit!
Xu Ji took out his fishing net, fished out his trophies, looked up at the sky, and shook his head helplessly.
He didn't like to participate in competitions. If his father hadn't begged him for a long time this time, I'm afraid he would still be absent from this hunting conference.
In the pavilion, Xu Fei yelled, stood up, clapped, and glanced at the head of the Xing family, who had a dark look on his face, and said in amusement, "I'll see how you can jump around this time!"
The results of this hunting conference are already clear.
There is no doubt that Xu Ji is
A well-deserved champion, after returning to the shore, the city lord happily came forward to congratulate him, but Xu Ji just didn't respond and nodded slightly, not sure if he heard it or not.
Xingxiang returned to the head of the Xing family in despair, lowering her head and biting her lips.
The head of the Xing family did not blame Xingxiang. After all, Xu Ji was usually a quiet person, but when he suddenly appeared, he was indeed caught off guard.
Xu Fei brought Xu Ji back to the pavilion, patted his youngest son on the shoulder and said, "My son, you really make dad proud!"
Xu Ji smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Fei introduced Gu Xiaotian and his team to Xu Ji.
This time, Xu Ji reacted and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have long admired your name."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have a big name, it's just a false name."
However, Xu Ji still said some truth respectfully, "There may not be anyone better than you among your peers at the moment."
Xu Fei next to him was a little surprised.
In his mind, this seemed to be the first time that his youngest son took the initiative to talk to someone.
Sometimes Xu Fei likes his waiter very much, but sometimes it gives him a headache.
Born into the Xu family, he had to shoulder a lot of things as soon as he was born, but this little son didn't care at all. He only did two things all day long, practicing martial arts and resting.
However, this youngest son is indeed a prodigy in martial arts. He has mastered all kinds of weapons since he was a child. He is self-taught without a teacher. There is no one that Xu Ji cannot master with swords, guns, clubs, axes, axes, hooks and forks.
Everyone in the Xu family called Xu Ji a complete martial arts idiot.
It seems that everything in his life can be thrown away, but martial arts training must be integrated throughout his body.
After greeting each other for a while, Xu Fei was ready to go back home when everyone was almost gone.
On the way back to the city, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Xiaotian chose to walk back to the city by himself and declined Xu Fei's invitation.
Xu Fei was not too surprised by this. It is best for this kind of thing to be done slowly. If it was done in one go, it would make him less able to believe Gu Xiaotian.
After the city lord saw off the head of the Xing family, he immediately sent a team of people out of the city to ambush Gu Xiaotian on his way back to the city.
The city lord personally took care of this matter. When he sent the Xing family head back to the city, he could feel that the Xing family head looked not very good. This time he would definitely be given a big surprise.
As long as this thing can be accomplished, he can become inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
With wealth and power placed in front of him, how could he not be tempted?
Gu Xiaotian walked forward slowly, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped and said to his surroundings: "Now that we are here, there is no need to hide, right?"
The city lord shook his eyebrows and walked out of the ambush point.
When Gu Xiaotian saw the city lord, he naturally didn't give a good look. At this time, he just shook his eyebrows and said frivolously: "The city lord personally greeted me on the road. It is really an honor for me."
The city lord smiled and said, "Gu Xiaotian, I admire you very much."
Gu Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise, then pointed at the person behind the city lord and asked, "Do you appreciate the huge array I used?"
The city lord didn't want to talk nonsense and said calmly: "It's a pity that this is in the Northern Wasteland, and someone wants your life." ap.
"Can't you see that the majestic lord of a city is willing to be someone else's dog?"
Gu Xiaotian expressed all kinds of disdain for this city lord.
A good person cannot be a good person and must be a dog.
Obviously the city lord has heard this kind of words a lot, so naturally he didn't take it to heart. He just waved his hand and said, "So, I will accept your life."
Gu Xiaotian smiled indifferently, "The city lord seems not to understand. When I came to Beihuang, many people wanted to take my life, but no one has succeeded so far."
A large group of soldiers and horses swarmed up. These were elites trained by the city lord himself. They had made great contributions to the court. They were also well-known in the army in the north. Those who could be selected were all outstanding soldiers.
hand.
Facing this elite force, Gu Xiaotian just shook his head slightly and said to himself: "You are not worthy of my sword."
Immediately, a spear came towards Gu Xiaotian's chest.
Gu Xiaotian stretched out his left hand to hold the gun barrel, and then used force to drag the man on horseback to the ground, and then punched him hard in the face.
At the same time, Xiao Yinyin and Niu Kuiping also worked very well together. One was good at using internal skills, and the other understood medical principles. Therefore, he could also integrate acupuncture into martial arts. Although it was not enough to kill with one blow, it was more powerful. It was torture and made those soldiers and horses miserable.
Hao Hao, on the other hand, used one man and one sword, and the killing was hearty.
This famous ace army in the North was completely wiped out in just a quarter of an hour.
Gu Xiaotian's last punch fell, taking away the soldier's life. He sat down on the soldier's head, supported his head with his hands, and asked the city lord: "City Lord, do you still want to kill me now?"
The city lord smiled contemptuously at this.
"Gu Xiaotian, I am not able to get to where I am today just because of my flattery skills."
Gu Xiaotian twisted his neck and looked at the short city lord. If anyone else said this, it would be extremely domineering, but the figure of the city lord in front of him seemed funny no matter how he looked at it.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The city lord snorted coldly and stepped out.
Suddenly, dust flew into the sky, and his whole body was filled with energy. Then he took another step, shaking away countless gravel scattered on the ground. Every step seemed full of strength.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the scene in front of him and muttered: "I really can't tell that you have this ability."
Immediately afterwards, the city lord flicked his wrist, and a black halberd appeared in his hand.
Euphorbia and short people are a fresh combination.
The city lord suddenly stepped on the ground, then jumped up, swung the big halberd in his hand and struck hard at Gu Xiaotian's head.
Gu Xiaotian immediately drew his sword in response. He raised his sword and swung it, and a sword energy appeared across the sky and stopped in front of the city lord.
This sword energy did not cause much hindrance to the city lord. He just waved the big halberd easily, and immediately broke through the sword energy, and fought with Gu Xiaotian's edgeless heavy sword.
Suddenly, the two weapons each made a loud sound.
Gu Xiaotian frowned, it seemed that he had underestimated the enemy.
The fight just now shocked him so much that he really didn't expect that this short city lord would have such great power.
From move to move, neither of them caught the slightest flaw in each other. The city lord suddenly retreated, and a ball of true energy slowly gathered in his hand.
The city lord raised his halberd and said to Gu Xiaotian, "Are you ready to die?"
