Chapter 14 Apprenticeship(1/2)
The unexpected recognition of the Xiler mother and daughter and Master Gongzhuang was indeed a happy event. People feel refreshed when happy events occur. The fat man felt hungry when he felt refreshed, so he hurriedly ordered the maid outside the door to prepare a meal.
Not long after, a sumptuous meal was placed in the center of the garden outside the side hall.
Master Gongzhuang used it briefly and then stopped and focused his attention on the fat man.
Watching the fat man's eating movements, Master Gongzhuang remembered that in the square just now, this boy's skill was as amazing as a string of flowers when he disarmed Baz and others.
The fat man had finished the "basing" work, and his movements slowed down a bit. He elegantly cut a roasted chicken leg, and said to Master Gongzhuang: "Old Xian! How are you going to deal with that dead face?"
The master looked at the fat man in front of him helplessly. Not long after they met, his name changed countless times in this guy's mouth, and now he became "Old Sage" again!
"How do I know! What does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with you?" The master said angrily to the fat man.
"This old guy took the wrong medicine?! The debt he just stood by and watched hasn't been settled yet, and now he's doing this to the fat man again!" Ever since he learned about the relationship between the master and Silaire, he has been grudged about the master's failure to take action in time.
Yu Huai.
The fat man was angry in his heart, but his face remained calm. He pulled the cleanly shaved chicken leg bones aside, put a large piece of steak in front of his eyes, snorted coldly and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Is that true?! Why is it different when I get to you?"
Seeing that the master still looked indifferent after listening to his words, the fat man didn't care. He knew that he shouldn't be anxious when playing tricks with such people. He cut the steak into small pieces, dipped it in the seasonings, and served it with chicken legs to make it look slow.
In fact, it was stuffed piece by piece into the mouth at an extremely fast speed.
In his heart, the master really likes to watch fat people eating. He eats elegantly, skillfully, fast, and eats a lot. It not only stimulates the appetite of the diners around him, but it is also a unique skill in interpreting what it means to move freely. Especially when watching the food in his heart.
It's even more pleasing to the eyes for a fat man with evil intentions to eat.
He glanced at Silaire, who was holding a small piece of bread, dipping it in the soup and chewing slowly, silently. The fat man stopped talking, and felt a little contempt in his heart, "I just know how to eat. Dinner is about talking about work.
Do you think everything will be fine if you rely on a big tree? The big tree hasn't promised you anything in this lesson? You don't care about your own affairs, and you still have to worry about me! What's the matter with this?!"
He had a sad expression on his face that was used to seeing people's unfaithfulness, and he continued to say to Master Gongzhuang leisurely: "You are right! What does this have to do with me? I don't know his grandfather, and I don't confiscate his family.
The spiritual pearl. It’s just like eating carrots and not worrying about them!”
A smile appeared on the corner of the master's lips and he said slowly: "The method of stimulating generals doesn't work, so try another one."
Seeing the old guy's lack of food and salt, the fat man secretly hated himself, but a smile appeared on his face, and he squinted his eyes and said: "Don't you think this is a conspiracy? More than two thousand people disappeared in one night! Isn't that weird enough?
Seeing as you are so interested in my gadgets and other little crafts, you must like to study some unusual things?! Are you not in the mood to study this?"
Seeing that the master's expression showed a hint of concentration, the fat man hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued: "What's more, aren't you a great elder? It's your duty to do this!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the master's expression returned to its original state, and he said calmly: "It's not easy to ask for responsibility, especially for you. It's even harder to do it. Let's find another way."
While Zhuzhu was eating crazily, she listened curiously to the conversation between the two and found it very interesting.
Xi Laer was also listening attentively, and she could tell that the fat man was making plans for her, and wanted to make the matter of asking Master Gongzhuang a favor. She was grateful in her heart, but the master's attitude was ambiguous and he refused to express his attitude.
, which made her feel uncomfortable again, and her head dropped.
The fat man saw this and secretly hated the old man for not being interesting enough, but he said with a smile on his face: "Actually, I also know that the power of making a powerful family with royal blood disappear in one night is definitely not small, not just one or two."
It can be shaken by an individual. Moreover, there are actually only a handful of groups with such strength, so it is not difficult to guess. I think Silaire should already have a general direction in mind. Especially this time she recognized Wilson from his voice.
That means this matter must have something to do with McCann!"
The fat man's words aroused the master's interest, and he asked: "Do you also know the Chahan family?"
"Look at what you said. I, the fat man, have been traveling all over the country all these years. Is there anything I don't know about? Aren't the Chahan family the royal family of the Ruhr Empire more than a hundred years ago? They were later overthrown by McCann and the Ruhr opposition.
, I just don’t care about political affairs and live in seclusion in the mountains." The fat man said in a sultry voice.
"I didn't expect you to have some knowledge! So since you think this matter is related to McCann, you still want me to go into this muddy water? What are your intentions?" The master said, his eyes sharp.
The fat man ignored the master's eyes and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm just discussing the matter! Oh! That's right! Silaire, you said this master is the great elder, where is he?
The Great Elder? Why are you always so grumbling when talking and doing things?! I’m not telling you, I’m afraid your grandfather might be a little too trustworthy!"
Of course, the fat man was telling lies with his eyes open. He deliberately made such sinister accusations and used the "provoking method".
"Didn't you, the master, see through the provoking method I was using? Well, I will still use the provoking method to manipulate you. If the conspiracy fails, there is always a 10% chance." The fat man thought to himself.
Moreover, even after Fatty knew the identity of Master Gongzhuang, he still behaved in a reckless manner, which was actually done on purpose by him.
When there is an excessive disparity in identity and status, respect, flattery or even flattery, whether intentional or not, will not actually bring the two parties closer together.
And if you do the opposite, you might get some unexpected gains.
Who doesn’t have curiosity?
Fatty is indeed a master at reading people's hearts!
Silaire did not answer the fat man's words, but just lowered his head.
The master stared at the fat man fiercely! But there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart. This fat man had extraordinary abilities in sophistry and cunning. He looked careless, but in fact he was meticulous and good at calculations. Talking to him was really draining, and you would be led in if you were not careful.
His rhythm.
After talking back and forth for a long time, it seems that this guy has already thought through the matter.
The fat man proudly admired the master's expression, as if he had the pearls of wisdom in hand and was not afraid that you would not take the bait.
Sure enough, the master took out a waist badge made of purple crystal from his arms and threw it on the table, looking at the fat man silently.
The fat man suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably. He picked up the sign and looked at it carefully.
The brand is not big, but it is quite heavy to buy. It glows with purple light and looks mysterious and noble. There is a three-layered ring carved in the middle. The ring is divided into ten parts, each part is inlaid with a kind of
Gems of different colors.
White, green, blue, red, yellow, cyan, black, orange, pink, gray.
In the small circle in the center of the ring is engraved a golden word - League.
The fat man couldn't put it down and played with the token. For him, it was a legendary artifact. In the past, it was a luxury to even take a look at it from a distance, let alone hold it in his hand.
Master Gongzhuang smiled faintly, with a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He said calmly: "It seems that you already know my identity. Yes, I am the great elder of the Federation of Instructors. However, I'm afraid you don't know that I resigned half a year ago."
"Huh? Resign? How can I resign?" Fatty was completely confused by the master's words and said in disbelief.
"Why not? As you said, I like to study weird things. Being a great elder has a lot of things to do all day long. It is very boring, so I will quit. Although the General Assembly has not yet approved it,
But it’s only a matter of time. This is the great elder’s badge. Seeing that you like it very much, I’ll leave it to you to play with for a few days! It may not be taken away one day!” What the master said is simply true.
An old kid who is dissatisfied with reality.
The fat man was amused by the master's rogueness. He quickly put down the sign and said with a smile: "You'd better keep it for yourself. I find such a heavy thing too heavy!"
The master admired the fat man's character of being able to take up things but also put them down, and asked with a smile: "Then what are your plans? Originally I thought you and Xixi were the same family, but now I know that there was no relationship at all. Now that I am here
It is estimated that no one can touch the mother and daughter here anymore, so you might as well leave here, there will probably be many changes after this muddy water, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back!"
"Ah? You are trying to burn bridges! Can I just walk away? That 'Dead Man' Wilson is not dead yet! He is outside. The two of you are safe with you. I will go out now
, I’m afraid I’ll be poisoned into a pile of ashes in the first place!” The fat man became anxious all of a sudden. Although he felt that the old man’s words were probably a joke, was this something that could be joked about?!
Without waiting for the master to answer, the fat man said to Xi Laer in an exaggerated manner: "Xixi! You can't imitate this unemployed great elder and ignore my life and death! I have worked hard for you and the child.
This will cause huge trouble! You can’t just give up after all!”
"What nonsense are you talking about! Just follow the master's instructions in everything!" Xi Laer blushed because of the fat man's unscrupulous remarks, and her original heavy mood eased a lot. She raised her head and whispered, looking at the master's face.
His eyes were full of expectation.
Seeing a smile on Silaire's face, the fat man felt a little better.
This scene was seen by the master, and his heart felt warm.
"Although this fat man has many faults, his heart is not bad!" He paused, and then said to the fat man: "Since you are so afraid of death, you can just stay with me for the time being."
Without waiting for the fat man to refute, the master asked again: "I want to hear your opinion on this matter."
The fat man was too lazy to argue with the master anymore. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said: "This is a complete conspiracy!"
The master's eyes flashed with appreciation, he nodded and said, "Tell me about it!"
"It's easy to say, that Quinn's performance can explain everything. He is obviously taking orders from Wilson. In other words, Wilson should have known the identities of Xixi and Zhuzhu for a long time. I even doubt that Xixi's family was It was only because of Quinn's internal response that we were able to handle the situation so flawlessly." The fat man analyzed it and spoke clearly.
Silaire thought of Quinn, and his expression became sad again.
She said softly: "Five years ago, I was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Yuer and Father Quinn. The couple had taken care of me since I was a child, so they were naturally by my side. At that time, Father Quinn was the chief manager of the family. , it is said that when a guest arrives, he should go out to greet him. But at that time, he said that my elemental sense had just awakened, and I needed a reliable person to guide me to avoid making mistakes, so he followed me into the secret room. Thinking about it this way, he should not The traitor, he was not at the scene when the incident happened!"
"That makes sense. However, there may be more than one group of traitors! Maybe they were divided into two groups, one group was outside to attack, and the other group was inside just in case?! You have to recall who was the traitor at that time. What about those who should have stayed but didn't?" After listening to Silaire's words, the fat man made an inference.
Hearing this, Xi Laer subconsciously glanced at Zhuzhu, who was listening to the adults' conversation attentively, then shook his head and said no more.
The observant fat man noticed something strange about Silaire.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He suddenly remembered Zhuzhu's name, "Mingzhu Enqin Chahan". And Silaire's real name is "Siler Ngelie Chahan" ”.
That's not right! According to the custom of Rusian people naming, the first name is their own name, the middle name should be their parents' names, and the last name is the family name. So why are the middle names of Zhuzhu and Xiler different?
"Is Zhuzhu not Xi Laer's biological daughter? Who are Zhuzhu's parents? Are they the 'people who should have stayed but didn't'?" Thinking of this, Fatty felt that there must be a hidden secret. He and the master who also noticed something strange exchanged glances with each other and changed the subject.
"These things can be discussed later. There are actually only two questions that need to be clarified now. One is, since Wilson has known about Xixi's situation for a long time, why has he kept it secret and did not take action until now? The second is five years ago. What was their purpose in attacking the Chahan family?" Fatty continued.
After hearing the fat man's analysis, Siler's face turned a little pale, and she pursed her lips as if she was making an important decision.
After a while, Siler took off the small backpack on his shoulder and put it on the table. He whispered: "There is a list of names in my backpack. They are the names of the Chahan family who still expressed their secret opinions to us after they abdicated."
