Chapter 1266 Confrontation, a passivity I have never felt before
Chapter 1270 Confrontation, a passivity I have never felt before
If the other party revealed the origins of Jiang Yue and the others, although they did not directly accuse them of being a rebel party, they also secretly said that they were in collusion with the rebel party. Logically speaking, Jiang Yue should have reacted violently and become very nervous.
But Jiang Yue was surprisingly calm and did not show any signs of panic. This calm mood also affected Jiang Qiao and Sangou.
The two of them were a little uneasy at first, but seeing Jiang Yue's calm performance and response, their panicked mentality was suddenly relieved.
"Sir, you really love to joke. Unless the gangsters in this world are blind, how can they fall in love with a few mushroom men?" Jiang Yue still answered very appropriately, but at the same time, he was also observing the other party coldly.
He also felt strange in his heart that the other party's reaction was indeed a bit strange. According to his official position, if he really suspected that they were related to the rebel party, shouldn't he bring a large number of people to block the tavern? And detain them directly, and then
Torture and interrogate?
As the government boss of Titan City State, the opponent is fully capable of this. To deal with a tavern owner with no background or a humble mushroom man, he can do all this without any scruples. No one will even come to oppose him.
It is impossible for anyone to come out and complain.
So why doesn't he do this?
This is what Jiang Yue is thinking about now. Either the other party is just bluffing without any real evidence.
Or, the other party has no intention of pursuing their identities at all, and has no interest in catching the gangsters.
Otherwise, given the status of the other party, even if there is a little suspicion, they can do whatever they want in the name of catching the gangsters.
Of course, Jiang Yue's statement was obviously not accepted by the other party. However, the other party did not make any more moves, but simply pressed the palm of his hand leisurely.
"Sit down, sit down, don't be nervous. I just said that I'm not wearing official uniform, so you can just listen to it as gossip. I didn't say what I'm going to do to you, just look at how nervous you are." The other party smiled.
It's like it's really a joke.
Ever since Jiang Yue entered the inner earth world, even when he met people from the top ten golden tribes, he had always dealt with them appropriately and with ease. He had never been so passive before.
It felt like the rhythm was completely controlled by the opponent, and he couldn't figure out the opponent's depth. Jiang Yue didn't like this feeling of being out of control very much.
But at this time, he really couldn't afford to have an attack. He could only deal with it patiently, test the other party's motives, and try to observe the other party's true intentions.
Jiang Yue winked at Sangou, telling him to relax and not get too excited, and there was no need to stare at him eagerly, as if he was about to have a falling out at any time.
Such a performance will undoubtedly make it easier for the other party to leave something to talk about.
The other party chuckled and looked from Jiang Yue to Sangou.
"This little brother seems a little out of control. If I had come in official uniform, I would have opened a gap in him first. You see, he almost had the word "falling out" written on his face. Speaking of which, Mushroom Man
There are really few such brave people among us."
Sangou was holding back a lot of anger. If Jiang Yue hadn't kept signaling, he would have really wanted to have an attack on the spot.
You know what's going on, let's kill you first, kill and silence you, let's die without any evidence.
He didn't even hide this motive, but this kind of behavior is undoubtedly very abrupt on the mushroom man.
How can you, a mere mushroom man, find the confidence to kill people and silence them? Where can you find the strength to kill the other party? The more this happens, the easier it will be to expose your identity and leave more doubts to the other party.
Even if Jiang Yue tried his best to signal Sangou, Sangou's performance was enough to leave too much evidence in the eyes of smart people.
And the other party obviously saw this too.
I don't know if the other party didn't believe that the three mushroom men would pose a threat to him, or if he had other reasons to rely on. In short, the other party was still sitting on the ground, tasting the wine in the glass, as if he didn't take it seriously.
To be honest, Jiang Yue is indeed a little unable to see through the other party's reality.
But now that things have happened, he also knows that there must be an explanation for what happened today. Now that the three dogs have been exposed, they have also been seen through by the other party.
Jiang Yue didn't explain, and signaled Sangou to hold on.
Then he raised his glass and said: "Every word of your Excellency contains profound meanings. However, we mushroom people are dull and straight-headed and don't quite understand your profound meaning. This brother of mine has a bad temper and cannot bear injustice. If there is any conflict, please forgive me."
Sir, please be considerate."
Anyway, if you don't say it, I won't say it either. I'll just wait for you to draw the line.
The other party chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, you are really being too modest. It is true that mushroom people have low combat effectiveness, but being stupid and straightforward has nothing to do with mushroom people, right? With all due respect, I have never heard of a mushroom person with a bad temper.
.”
This is another very difficult topic to discuss.
Mushroom people are very cautious and avoid provocation and bullying whenever possible. Why do they have such a bad temper? Where do they have the confidence and strength to have such a bad temper?
"Haha, maybe this is your first time meeting me, but I am no stranger to you. At the door of the Adventurer's Guild, you were provoked and won a bet with others. At that time, you were not grumpy, you could even say that you were spitting on your face.
Qian. Sparing the opponent's life even after winning obviously has nothing to do with Changzi having a bad temper. If he really had a bad temper, would he still be alive?"
Jiang Yue's eyes became deep and he stared at the other party: "So, your Excellency really pays an unexpected amount of attention to us."
"Haha, it's a coincidence. I happened to pass by the Adventurer's Guild that day."
"Oh?" Jiang Yue quickly recalled the situation that day, but there was no trace of this person in his memory. Did he really appear? Or he was hiding in the crowd and watching the fun.
Although Jiang Yue has an amazing memory, it is impossible for him to clearly remember all the hundreds or thousands of passers-by. If someone is really hiding in the crowd, as long as the other person does not act deliberately and keeps a low profile to watch the fun, Jiang Yue may not be able to remember everyone clearly.
Everyone remembers it.
"Your Excellency, as a mushroom man, has managed to get along well in the Titan City-State. Not only has he gained the favor of the guild elders, he has also established a relationship with the Abyssal Clan, and even started doing business for the Abyssal Clan. However, according to my observation, the Abyssal Clan also
Your temporary employer is not the employer behind you, right?"
The other party was so knowledgeable that Jiang Yue's interpersonal relationships in these days were described in detail, which was simply terrifying.
This would have been impossible if it hadn't been for the people who paid special attention to them.
But if the other party really pays attention to them deliberately, there will always be some clues. But Jiang Yue has not felt such deliberate attention in the past two days.
Is the other party really powerful enough to follow them without being discovered by Jiang Yue?
If this is the case, the opponent's strength is too terrifying. Jiang Yue has never felt such terrifying strength in anyone.
Even the geniuses of the golden race would never be able to do it.
Since he was almost stripped naked by the other party, Jiang Yue naturally stopped giving any more useless explanations. When it came to this matter, explanations were undoubtedly the poorest cover-up.
"I really can't believe that you are so concerned about us mushroom people. I don't know whether I should feel honored or sad that a big shot like you pays attention to us mushroom people. However, what you said is indeed not true.
False, but I want to ask, which of these things we do violates the laws of the Titan city-state, and which one is not allowed?"
Yes, even if you are right about all these, so what? Who stipulates that mushroom people cannot win gambling battles? Who stipulates that mushroom people cannot be better? Can't be favored by the abyss tribe?
The other party smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that all this is not allowed, I just simply sighed. Such outstanding mushroom people are simply too good to be true. So, I have doubts about the identities of all the mushroom people.
Is it reasonable?"
The current atmosphere is really weird.
Logically speaking, when it comes to talking about this, it should be tense, even to the point of falling out.
But the two sides always had a gentle attitude, just like two chess players competing.
"It's reasonable, of course it's reasonable. If it were me, I would find it strange. But in fact, the employer behind us has nothing to do with the rebellious party. This is also a fact." Jiang Yue said calmly.
Behind him is Duo Ye, who is from the Baoshu tribe.
Even if this is discovered, it will not cause any harm. In the inner earth world, the Baoshu tribe is also one of the top ten golden tribes, and its previous status was even slightly higher than that of the Titan tribe.
Although the Titan City State set up defenses against the Baoshu Clan this time and did not notify them, it does not mean that the Baoshu Clan are hostile or a rebellious party.
In the inner earth world, the Baoshu Clan cannot be a rebellious party. No one can classify the Baoshu Clan as a rebellious party.
If the Baoshu tribe is really forced to rebel and join the camp of the surface world, then that will be the biggest loss to the inner earth world.
Precisely because he had this support and this trump card, Jiang Yue actually didn't panic in his heart.
The other party said with a faint smile: "What I suspect now is not the employer behind you, but you yourself. As mushroom people, you are really weird."
"Sir, just the word "strange" is still a subjective conjecture after all, right?" Jiang Yue would not be too polite even after saying this.
"Haha, don't worry, I have my own explanation. We drank a lot after we went upstairs, right?" The other party suddenly said something incomprehensible.
Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "So what?"
The other party shook his head and smiled calmly: "How about it? The etiquette in the inner earth world is not so particular. As for your drinking etiquette, although you are trying to hide it, the etiquette I see is more like that in the surface world.
Don’t deny it, I saw the things in the surface world in your habit of drinking and toasting. You are just mushroom people, you have no chance to contact the surface world, let alone survive in the surface world for a long time. With this etiquette of yours
, where did you learn it? You can’t say that you mushroom people are born to drink like this, right?”
Such a tricky angle was indeed something Jiang Yue had never thought of.
In fact, he has deliberately imitated the Geocentric Clan in all aspects. But after all, he is not a native, and his insight is terrible. In the eyes of those who observe and figure out in the dark, it cannot be perfect.
"What does this mean?" Jiang Qiao couldn't help but asked, "You don't think that we are mushroom people in the surface world, do you? I'm curious, are there any ethnic groups like mushroom people in the surface world?"
"Of course there are no mushroom people in the surface world." The other party smiled strangely.
"That's fine." Jiang Qiao sneered.
"But are you really mushroom people?" the other party suddenly asked.
Jiang Yue waved his hand, signaling Jiang Qiao and the three dogs to go out first.
Sangou stood up angrily and glared at the other person fiercely. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he had tolerated him for a long time and was ready to explode at any time.
But the other party is obviously very smart and seems to be completely unaware of Sangou's malice. In other words, he is not worried at all, or even feels confident.
After Jiang Qiao and San Gou left, Jiang Yue looked at each other calmly.
Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were very solemn, and they were scrutinizing each other, as if they wanted to conduct a silent confrontation through their eyes and suppress each other's momentum.
After a moment, the other party smiled freely: "You don't need to explain anything. Since my idea has been formed, it will naturally be my judgment. You don't need to try to convince me. However, I also have something I urgently want to know."
"What?"
"What are you going to do next? Kill someone and silence them?" The other party smiled strangely.
They are all smart people. The other party obviously told Jiang Yue that you don’t need to try to convince me, I won’t believe it. I know that you are a gangster, and I also know that your identity is fake. Now there is no need to say anything to try to convince me.
, just tell me directly what you want to do.
"Since your Excellency is sitting here with no fear, and you still say these words to us, you must be so confident that you know what we mushroom people can do, but you can't do it?"
"No! I know you are not mushroom people, and I'm not sure you can do anything to me. But until now, we haven't fallen out, have we? Again, I didn't wear official uniform today, and what I said was just gossip. I
If you want to break up, you should at least bring a group of people, right?"
There is always a wisdom in the other person's smile, a calmness that people must pay attention to.
"So, what do you really want to express after saying so much? I really don't understand what is the profound meaning of this gossip?"
Since you are an official figure in Titan City State and your status is not low, you really don't have the right to gossip with a few suspects here.
Do you want to extort money? Once you reach a certain status, it doesn't seem to make much sense, right? How much can you extort?
Even if the whole tavern was given to him, it would satisfy his appetite. But the other party did not reveal that he came here for money.
The other party laughed happily, and it was these smiles that prevented Jiang Yue from feeling the tension.
Otherwise, the atmosphere at the scene would definitely be much more intense.
The other party gently touched his palm: "You finally got to the point. It seems that you don't intend to continue to quibble, right? Okay, then let's talk about what I mean."
Jiang Yue remained silent, waiting for the other party to continue speaking. He wanted to see what the other party was up to.
