Chapter Thirty-Three: Willing to Bet and Admit Loss
At this time in the camp, Chen Qi had the ugliest face. The corners of his mouth were twitching slightly, his face was pale, without any blood, and his fingers were trembling slightly. He never thought that Su Yan could really defeat the opponent for more than ten years.
Tens of thousands of troops, and a great victory. Not only would he be disgraced in front of the generals, but he would also have to lose his bet.
Su Yan, on the other hand, stood aside quietly with a calm expression, letting everyone's eyes sweep over his body, as if the things here had nothing to do with him.
While the generals were discussing in low voices, Wu Meng coughed twice, breaking the silence.
"Su Yan, Su Yan, you have such resourcefulness at such a young age, you put me to shame!"
Su Yan smiled a little shyly and said softly: "General, I have given you too much praise. I am only making suggestions for this battle, and the execution depends entirely on the due diligence of various generals and the trust of the general. Otherwise, how could it be possible?"
score?"
The generals around him felt more comfortable after hearing this. Su Yan contributed the most in the battle, so all the credit should be attributed to him. But he was still so knowledgeable and did not forget the contributions of others, so that they could
My good feelings in my heart increased greatly.
Wu Meng stroked his beard after hearing this, raised his head and laughed loudly and said: "At such a young age, you are still not proud of yourself and know how to advance and retreat. Su Yan, I can't see through you more and more."
Su Yan smiled lightly, nodded and bowed, but did not answer. He naturally knew how important his plan was, but he could not be greedy, lest he offend others and ruin his future career.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Wu Meng looked at Su Yan with a smile and said kindly, as if he was talking to his junior.
Su Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Meng to ask this. When he unveiled the list, he wanted to test his abilities, and he wasn't very interested in the rewards above. Besides, those things were of little use to him.
Su Yan pondered for a moment, then bowed and said: "There is no need for rewards. Those are not the reasons why I came here. I accept the general's kindness."
When Wu Meng heard this, he was greatly surprised and asked: "How is that possible? You have made such great contributions and you deserve this reward. Otherwise, wouldn't others say that I, Wu Meng, crossed the river and burned the bridge?"
"The general's words are serious. I will return to the clan in a while, and then I may enter the general's palace for further cultivation. Those things will definitely not be of much use to me."
When Wu Meng saw Su Yan insisting on resisting, he slowly sat down, frowned, pursed his lips, thinking about something, then turned his head and said: "If you insist on not continuing, then I won't say more. So be it, I will submit a letter."
The imperial court, please write a letter to commend you. In addition, since you are going to join the general palace, I will write a letter to my friend over there, which will also be helpful to your future study."
After hearing this, Su Yan felt slightly happy and bowed in thanks: "Thank you, General!"
"Hey, I feel bad that you don't want to accept the reward. If you don't do something for you, I will feel uncomfortable." Wu Meng waved his hand and said with a smile.
After that, Wu Meng tilted his head and looked at Chen Qi, who was standing on pins and needles. His eyes flashed with joy. To be honest, he was also a little tired of this Chen Qi. He always liked to contradict him and ignored him because of his cleverness.
His order. But this time Su Yan made him feel defeated, and he felt quite happy.
"Chen Qi, you and Su Yan had a bet before to see if he could defeat the enemy. Now that the enemy has been defeated, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." Wu Meng looked at Chen Qi coldly, his voice without emotion.
A trace of emotion, but there is a will that cannot be disobeyed.
Chen Qi, who was standing below, shook violently, with a miserable expression on his face. Although he lowered his head, he seemed to be able to feel the disdain and pity in the generals' eyes. He opened his mouth to refute but could not say anything. After a long time, he finally
He put his hand into his sleeve, tremblingly and took out a small gray bag, then wiped off the mark of consciousness on it and handed it to Su Yan, as if his heart was bleeding.
Su Yan took the gray bag and looked through it curiously. He knew that it was a mustard bag, a kind of space magic weapon. There was a mustard space inside, which could be used to store items, which was very convenient.
"This is my mustard seed bag. Three thousand green feathers are also in it. Take it."
Chen Qi's melancholy voice sounded, and then he bowed directly to Wu Meng and resigned. Things had reached this point, and if he stayed here any longer, he would only suffer more ridicule, so he simply left.
All the generals allowed Chen Qi to leave without saying anything for him. He had done this entirely on his own merits and was not worthy of their sympathy.
While Su Yan was looking through the mustard bag, Wu Meng's voice suddenly rang.
"The matter is over, please retreat. Su Yan, you have been busy for a day and you should be tired. Go down and rest. In addition, I have sent people to Qingzhou City to report the news of the defeat of Horqin's army. You should rest."
Stay overnight and follow me to the city tomorrow, the governor has already held a banquet to celebrate you."
Su Yan hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, and then left directly.
…
…
Su Yan sat in front of his desk, playing with the mustard bag in front of him, marveling at it, thinking that it would be much more convenient to have this little thing.
After that, he followed the method of asking others for advice, squeezed out a drop of blood and dropped it on the mustard bag. The blood drop quickly melted on the cloth, and then the mustard bag suddenly emitted a faint light, and Su Yan interacted with it.
There is an added feeling of spiritual connection.
Su Yan used his spiritual consciousness to explore inside. The space inside was like a square room, about ten meters in size. Except for a page of blue silk floating in the void, it was empty. Chen Qi must have taken away everything else.
.
Su Yan's thoughts moved slightly, and the piece of cyan silk appeared in his hand. It was about the same size as his piece of golden cloth, exuding a cyan halo and showing a wave of Yuan force.
"A single feather in the sky will last forever..."
Su Yan murmured the words in it, especially the eight characters written at the top, which gave off a sharp aura. Just looking at these eight characters, you can feel the cold oppression coming towards your face.
"It is worthy of being a Yuan-level martial skill. Just a page of simple magic formulas has such an aura. However, Yuan-level martial arts are extremely difficult to perform even if you are in the Qing Realm. With my current cultivation level, I am afraid that I can't even perform the most basic skills."
It doesn't work even if you push it, right?" Su Yan murmured a little disappointed.
However, the power of human curiosity is huge. Although it is impossible to activate such martial arts, Su Yan couldn't help but try it. He read the key points carefully several times and then deduced them in his mind.
After a few times, he stood up and tried to simulate it again to see how this Yuan-level martial skill was.
