Everyone knew that Xiao Bing's performance was about to begin.
In fact, everyone in this world was destined to learn how to perform since they were born. This kind of performance was different from the art on the big screen. The performance in real life was more real, more fake, and more terrible than on the TV. Even if you knew that the other party was full of pretense, you still needed such a kind of hypocrisy, whether it was for the sake of face or something else.
Therefore, Master Hou knew that Xiao Bing's next words might not necessarily come from his heart. But he needed to hear Xiao Bing's next words, which were crucial to his status and face.
Xiao Bing held up the glass full of wine and looked at Master Hou sincerely. He said, "Master Hou, I've embarrassed you because of the grievances between me and the North Heaven Queen. What's more, I refused your kindness before and made you lose face. Here, I must propose a toast to you and apologize to you. "
His words were clean and neat, and he said what he wanted to say. Xiao Bing drank up the wine.
The smile on Master Hou's face was more enthusiastic than before. He pointed to Xiao Bing's seat and said with a smile, "Let bygones be bygones. What's more, those are things between you young people and have nothing to do with an old guy like me. Sit down. "
Xiao Bing shook his head and filled his glass again. He raised it again, more sincerely and seriously than before. He said, "Master Hou, this time Xiao Bing actually came here to ask for a favor. In the past two days in the hospital, I also heard about Master Hou's reputation from Uncle Ye. I have a thorough understanding of you. I can't help but sigh in my heart. Master Hou is broad-minded. If it were someone else who was humiliated by Xiao Bing, I'm afraid they would not tolerate Xiao Bing anymore. Even if they don't target Xiao Bing everywhere, I'm afraid they will not meet Xiao Bing. "
"Since Xiao Bing admires Master Hou, I naturally don't want to be enemies with you. But the North Heaven Queen is your woman. This time, Xiao Bing intends to turn hostility into friendship. Master Hou, what do you think? I'm willing to apologize to the North Heaven Queen in person. You still need to be a middleman between us. Without you, the North Heaven Queen will never meet me."
Master Hou and Xiao Bing looked at each other, their eyes flashing.
Xiao Bing continued, "If this matter makes Master Hou feel embarrassed, I will not make it difficult for you. But I will drink this glass of wine to show my respect."
After Xiao Bing drank up, he put down the glass and still stood there, looking at Master Hou's eyes.
Both of them were smart. Xiao Bing came here to apologize, but in fact, he had defeated Master Hou. Since Master Hou had accepted Xiao Bing's apology, if he did not agree to mediate, on the one hand, he would be narrow-minded. On the other hand, it seemed that he did not have the ability to control his Heavenly King.
Xiao Bing seemed to be to be weak, but in fact, he was pressing forward step by step. As a soldier, he only needed to be brave and good at fighting. A general needed to know how to use.
Once he learned to judge the situation, he would be able to advance and retreat freely. If he could control the situation firmly in his own hands, he could create a favorable situation when the situation was not in his favor. Then he could advance step by step at will and retreat in order to advance. This was also the highest realm of a general. Obviously, Xiao Bing had mastered it.
After they looked at each other for a while, Master Hou smiled. He knocked on the table with his chopsticks and said, "Why are you still standing? Sit down. The dishes are getting cold."
Xiao Bing laughed and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how smart a person was, every move he made could not be foolproof. The move just now also had a certain degree of risk. One possibility was that Master Hou showed his broad-mindedness and agreed to Xiao Bing's request. The other possibility was that Xiao Bing's move completely angered Master Hou, which was tantamount to a huge disaster for Xiao Bing at this time.
Obviously, Xiao Bing was right.
Master Hou said with a smile, "You are a young man valued by Mr. Ye. Aren't you also a person valued by me? Come on, now we are friends. Since it is a matter between friends, I will naturally try my best to help. I can't promise you about the North Heaven Queen, but I will try my best to calm her anger and give you a chance to apologize. As for whether she will agree in the end, it is not up to me. I am a democratic and fair person. I never force the people around me. "
Master Hou was also an extremely smart person. In this way, even if the North Heaven Queen did not give him face in the end, Master Hou would not have any shame. Instead, he would give people a feeling of magnanimity.
Xiao Bing had a killing move and Master Hou had a clever move. He calmly resolved Xiao Bing's move.
However, the main purpose of Xiao Bing this time was not to provoke the relationship between Master Hou and the North Heaven Queen, but to temporarily stabilize the great force behind the North Heaven Queen when there was no possibility of winning, so that Master Hou would not act rashly. In this way, the pressure that Xiao Bing faced was only from the North Heaven Queen. Although there was still a great disparity in power, the pressure was relatively less.
"Come, Lil Bing, let me introduce you. This is Mu Tingchuan. He has been by my side for many years and is the most trustworthy person."
The middle-aged man wearing a pair of glasses smiled and nodded at Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Master Hou is really surrounded by talented people. Brother Mu is not an ordinary person at first glance."
"No, Mr. Xiao, you're wrong." Mu Tingchuan smiled and said, "I'm not just an ordinary person, but also a great layman. If the salary Master Hou gave me was too low, I would have left long ago."
After saying this, all three of them laughed. This Mu Tingchuan's status in Master Hou's mansion was really not low.
On the surface, this meal seemed to be happy and harmonious. When Xiao Bing left, Mu Tingchuan personally sent Xiao Bing out of Master Hou's mansion. Seeing that the carriage in the mansion had carried Xiao Bing far away, Mu Tingchuan turned back to the mansion and went directly to the small reception room. Master Hou sat in the main seat and Mu Tingchuan sat in the first seat next to him.
Master Hou took a sip of tea and looked at Mu Tingchuan. He asked, "What do you think?"
"This man's temperament seems to be that of a soldier. He has a forthright temperament. In fact, he is not as simple as he looks. He is very scheming."
"I think so too." Master Hou put down the teacup and smiled. He said lightly, "Not only is he scheming, but he is also bold. A timid person would never dare to play this kind of trick in front of me."
Mu Tingchuan and Master Hou looked at each other and smiled. After that, Mu Tingchuan smiled and asked, "Master Hou, do you cherish this young man? That's why you are so tolerant of Xiao Bing? "
"He is indeed a man with a beautiful mind. He actually knows my thoughts so clearly. This young man's strength is extraordinary. That night on the arena, he almost shocked the whole audience. Even Miyamoto Shinji couldn't see through the strength he showed before he fainted that night. If such a person can fall into my hands … "
Mu Tingchuan said, "But I also asked Mr. Miyamoto. The terrible strength that Xiao Bing showed that day should not be his normal state. His real strength should be maintained at the middle stage of concealing strength, which is a little weaker than Zhu Mingyu, who died in his hands."
Master Hou smiled and said, "Isn't a 26-year-old young man at the middle stage of concealing strength a very talented person in martial arts? What's more, I am very interested in the power in his body. This at least proves that he is a potential stock with hidden talent. His future may be limitless. "
Mu Tingchuan sighed and said, "Master Hou, you are a man of many talents. Tingchuan is not as good as you. Because of this, Master Hou can be an overlord, and Tingchuan is your advisor."
Master Hou said with some blame, "In my eyes, you are my partner. There is no difference between us."
Mu Tingchuan was moved when he heard this.
Master Hou smiled and said, "Well, I'd better call Peony … But I'm afraid it's not that easy to mediate. Peony has always been very hostile to men, but she was so sad when Zhu Mingyu died. Is there any special relationship between them? It's not my business. But if it's true, I'm afraid I can't be a peacemaker. "
Master Hou took out his mobile phone and called the Peony Fairy, the North Heaven Queen. After the call was connected, the Peony Fairy asked respectfully but indifferently, "Master Hou, what can I do for you?"
Hearing her indifferent voice, Master Hou knew that there was no hope for today's mediator. The Peony Fairy was obviously still angry with him that night. As Mu Tingchuan said about Master Hou, Master Hou was a man of many talents and broad mind. He was a man of kindness and power. The people around him were not very restrained in front of him, but they were relatively respectful. So even when the Peony Fairy was furious, she did not dare to disobey Master Hou's order. But at this time, she showed some appropriate dissatisfaction.
Master Hou smiled and said, "Peony, today I want to talk to you about what happened that night …"
The Peony Fairy said, "I dare not disobey Master Hou's order."
"No, it's not out of my own selfishness. I'm thinking about you." Seeing that the Peony Fairy did not answer, Master Hou continued, "That night, you can't kill him. First, if you kill him, how will the whole gang look at you? Can't afford to lose? Second, the Second Miss of the Ye family appeared by his side. If anything happens to the Ye family, Ye Bancheng will not let it go. Although I don't care about that old thing, his influence is really great. If he and the government put pressure on me, they may not make things difficult for me. But do you want me to be cruel and abandon the pawn to protect the king?
"So, no matter how angry you were that day, you can't kill him. Moreover, a subordinate died. Even if he is a rare top master, the dead can't be resurrected. Is it necessary for you to kill him? "
The Peony Fairy was silent. Master Hou took the opportunity to continue, "It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive."
"Master Hou, you have treated me well. My life will be yours. But if you want me to let go of this grudge, it's impossible!"
The Peony Fairy's voice was resolute!
