It was a rare experience for Wu Sanlang to experience the feeling of being criticized indirectly.
But quite a few people were looking at him, and now he was being cold-shouldered, which was not a pleasant feeling.
He simply stopped hiding his true feelings and said bluntly, "Seventh Young Master Xiao, why don't you join us? It just so happens that we were just talking about the remnants of the old Li army still occupying the southwest. The local people are still offering them shelter. We don't know how to deal with this situation. You and I are both men of Feng Country, and we should all contribute. Do you have any suggestions?"
A group of grown men gathered together. In order to show off their abilities and attract the attention of young girls, they always had to talk a lot and demonstrate their abilities.
It's nothing more than talking about poetry, political views, and family and country.
It is not necessarily true that these young people know a lot.
Those who can come here today to join in the fun and celebrate your birthday are all rookies who have no official positions and only rely on their ancestors. They haven't even grown their wings yet.
"I'm just a useless person. I really don't understand such important affairs of family and country... If you really want me to say it, Brother Wu, if you have the ability, I should send you to kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!" Xiao Cunyu looked serious and aggressive, as if he really believed that he had such great ability.
Wu Yanming blushed immediately.
He just wanted to hear Xiao Cunyu's unpopular nonsense, not to let him brag about himself.
"How can I..." Wu Yanming spoke quickly.
"You are being modest, aren't you? Who are you? The third young master of the Wu family, your confident look just now completely infected me, and I couldn't help but admire you! You have been taught by a famous teacher since childhood, and have been taught by your ancestors. Things like this should be a piece of cake for you. But it's different for a lazy and unmotivated little bastard like me. I don't know anything... I can only eat and drink for free. I'm just a fool." Xiao Cunyu scolded himself without holding back.
I have never seen a man so shameless and look down on me.
This was completely different from what Takesaburo had expected.
Everyone in his Wu family wanted to save face, so even if it was something they really couldn't do, they would never show weakness in front of outsiders, so he never thought that someone would call him a fool.
But Xiao Qi seemed quite modest like this...
"Mr. Xiao Qi is too modest... You and your brother once defeated my brother..." Wu Yanming was unable to respond to Xiao Cunyu's words for a moment, but he didn't want people to think that he was bullying Xiao Qi, so he could only bite the bullet and praise him.
"No, that's the Crown Prince's majesty. It has nothing to do with us two brothers. Believe me, you're the best." Xiao Cunyu was completely embarrassed. "My eldest brother is no good either. He's far worse than you. What does he know about the remnants of the old Li army or your uncle's murder case? Going to Jiangding means you'll be cut like a melon by your uncle. I don't even know if I can come back alive..."
"Seventh Young Master, please be careful with your words!" Wu Yanming's heart was in his throat.
"Right, right, right. I can't tell you. I can't tell you." Xiao Cunyu quickly hissed, "I won't say anything. Just go deal with Jiu Li with peace of mind. Don't be mean to me. I'm scared."
Wu Yanming was hanging in the air, unable to catch his breath.
Be cruel to him?
He didn't say a single unpleasant word. From beginning to end, he was the one who was so stingy, chattering non-stop!
His original intention was to have a fair competition, to see the ability of the seventh son of the Xiao family carefully, to win his heart and mind in an upright way, and to let people know that not everyone in the Xiao family is a genius.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Qi didn't accept the challenge at all!
I can't have a conversation with him at all!
