Chapter 1021 No Change of Expression
Zhou Zongshi, on the other hand, knew his own family affairs. He was the only one who had dealt with Xu Yi. He knew very well how sinister this man was. If he didn't get it right, he could be led into a ditch.
This time he agreed to the debate, but he still had to review it in his mind for a long time, trying not to be fooled by Xu Yi's words.
"Okay! I admire General Zhou Qian's integrity, so I will let you and Xu Yi argue in court, and I will judge right and wrong with all the wise men in the audience."
Qiu Taichong made the final decision.
Zhou Zongshi glanced at Xu Yi coldly, "If you have any questions, ask them yourself. Zhou would like to see how you talk nonsense."
Xu Yi sneered, asked, and then entered the question and answer mode between the two.
"General Zhou Qian, let me ask you, you said before, why did you come to my Lengyang Peak?"
"Zhou and you are both candidates for this Enke examination. Seeing that Enke is about to come, all of you fellow examiners must practice the art of combining formations. Now that you haven't even achieved Yin Zun, I'm here to ask you what do you think?"
"Then what did I say?"
"You said, you said..."
Zhou Zongshi suddenly lost his temper. He suddenly realized that it was really hard to say this.
Because of this question-and-answer format, it is far from being able to reproduce the conversation between the two at Lengyang Peak.
The reason is very simple. At that time, it was Zhou Zongshi who was good at tempting Xu Yi, using words one after another to induce Xu Yi to take the bait.
Questions and answers were exchanged here. Without Zhou Zongshi's guidance, many words seemed extremely abrupt and could not even constitute cause and effect.
Take this time, for example, Zhou Zongshi invited Xu Yi to practice the art of formation, and Xu Yi did not achieve the position of Yin Zun. This is all true. However, this time Zhou Zongshi could not reproduce the follow-up guidance at that time, and could only say one thing to ask Xu Yi What do you think?
Xu Yi had no idea of answering at that time. He was clearly induced by Zhou Zongshi to join the Zhou family.
When the problem reached this point, it naturally reached a dead end, and even Zhou Zongshi could not repeat Xu Yi's idea.
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.
Zhou Zongshi's face turned red, "No, you misled me. Well, since you are seeking death, Zhou will give up this shame. Colleagues, the facts of the case that Zhou previously stated are generally correct, and there are also hidden things. It was Zhou's selfishness. Zhou went to Lengyang Peak not to deliver any news, but simply to recruit Xu. Seeing that this person's talent was rare, he couldn't bear to abandon the good talent, and Enke was just around the corner. If I recruit this person, he will surely be my help in my favor. How could I know that this person went back on his word and defrauded Zhou of the earth soul talisman, but he was talking nonsense here."
Zhou Zongshi was indeed willing to go all out and simply poured out all his darkest thoughts.
Speaking of which, he was also forced by Xu Yi. He suddenly realized that if he didn't reveal this little trick, Xu Yi would definitely use it as a inducement and force him to make many flaws.
But he gave up this bit of filth and acted openly, not believing that Xu Yi still had something to do.
When it's time to break, it's time to break. Zhou Zongshi's ruthlessness made even Xu Yi secretly admire him.
Everyone in the row looked at each other in confusion. Although they felt that Zhou Zongshi was embarrassed, they believed 80% of what Zhou Zongshi said. After all, even if such private information was revealed, how could there be any fraud.
Moreover, Zhou Zongshi's thoughts were the most profit-oriented and naturally the most popular.
Just when everyone's thoughts were completely tilted towards Zhou Zongshi, Xu Yi suddenly shouted, "Yes, General Zhou Qian, what you said is the truth. You came to recruit me, it's the truth. You have such thoughts, it's also true." Not surprisingly, Xu guessed at that time that you must have wanted to drag me into your Zhou family as a slave. Originally, Xu was desperate at that time, and you used your sweet words to trick Xu into allowing you to become your eldest brother. However, the fox finally succeeded. It's a fox. No matter how well you hide it, your tail will eventually be exposed. Do you dare to rewrite the contents of the blood oath you wrote at Leng Yang Peak?"
Zhou Zongshi didn't expect Xu Yi to be so cunning. He only gained the approval of his colleagues by voicing his personal secrets. He was waiting for Xu Yi to refute, but he didn't know that Xu Yi would just take over and open up a new battlefield.
He couldn't figure out what exactly Xu Yi wanted to write in the blood oath. After thinking about it, he hesitated again.
"Second Young Master, what are you afraid of? We are upright and not afraid of slanted shadows. No one can say that our Zhou family is harsh when it comes to blood oaths."
The old man in black robe noticed Zhou Zongshi's hesitation and hurriedly sent a message.
Zhou Zongshi thought about it several times, but couldn't find any flaws. He became more and more sure after receiving the message from the old man in black robe. He immediately asked for ink pen and paper, and immediately silently read the words on the blood oath: Today, I will be with the best master in the world at Lengyang Peak. The sect Xu Yi signed an oath and swore: From now on, Xu Yi will enter my Zhou family and obey the orders of the head of the Zhou family. The contract will last for three years. At the end of the three years, Xu Yi will be given his freedom.
Zhou Zongshi threw away his ink pen and said in a cold voice, "The surname is Xu, but there is one character difference!"
"exactly?"
Xu Yi said simply and neatly.
"Bold and slippery official, under such conditions, you still have a vicious heart. You are really a cold-natured person."
Qiu Taichong took action.
"That's right. What the Zhou family spent was an earth soul talisman. They treat you so favorably, but you have such evil intentions!"
"This kind of person who looks at the wolf like a hawk will definitely not dare to put it to great use. I will report to the government to fire this person from his position and deprive him of Enke's quota!"
"………………"
When they saw the words recorded by Zhou Zongshi, they all shared the same hatred. They actually had roughly the same identity. The officials were so able to assume Zhou Zongshi's place. Seeing that the Zhou family offered such conditions and was eventually framed by Xu Yi, a wolf cub, it was painful and despairing. I felt the same way, and it suddenly became a situation where everyone was shouting and beating.
Zhou Zongshi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, looked sad, and repeatedly clasped his fists at the officials in greeting. Then he shouted coldly, "Xu, what can you say?"
Xu Yi's expression remained unchanged, "Don't you think it's a heinous crime for General Zhou Qian to deceive all of you in this way? Since you are stubborn, Xu will tell you the true situation at that time. Yes, the blood oath contains such words. Before seeing the blood oath, Mr. Xu was deceived by your surname Zhou, and he was really heartbroken. But when he saw the blood oath, Mr. Xu immediately understood that you, Zhou Qianjiang, were just deceiving me."
"Imagine, Xu and you, Zhou Qianjiang, only met once and only knew each other for a day. Even if we fell in love with each other at first sight, how could you offer such generous conditions? Even if you, Zhou Qianjiang, really sympathized with Xu's situation and treated Xu I feel sorry for you, but you have the entire Zhou family behind you. This is an earth soul talisman. How could such a precious thing not pass through the eyes of the Zhou family’s senior officials? How could they come up with such a generous sum? If the conditions are given to someone, and after three years, someone is freed, then the Zhou family is just trying to draw water from a bamboo basket, all in vain."
