Meng Xi's already evil expression became even more sinister. A pair of dark pupils looked at Lu Shun with murderous intent.

"Lu Shun, you are such a slave, do you also want to imitate Meng Zhao and rebel?"

If he didn't still have some sense in his heart, Lu Shun would still have some status in his heart.

I'm afraid Meng Xi will immediately take action and expel this slave who dares to disobey his orders from the courtyard.

Meng Xi is criticized by others and disliked by his elders because he is too domineering and self-centered.

Sometimes this is a sign of strength and confidence, but it is also undeniable that it is a flaw that can be exploited.

Although Lu Shun looked sad after being scolded, his mind remained unchanged and he persuaded him earnestly,

"Master, please calm down. I will never dare to have second thoughts about you, let alone rebel.

I have a heart full of heart, and all I think about is the young master.

The fourth young master, Meng Zhao, now knows our attitude towards red leaf ginseng and wolfsbane grass, and is on guard.

If the young master immediately interferes with these two businesses, the Fourth Young Master will definitely notice your hostility.

This move is tantamount to angering him, and will most likely push the Fourth Young Master Meng Zhao to the Second Young Master's side.

So I kindly ask the young master to think twice and not to delay important matters out of anger."

Such a simple truth, as a successor of the Meng family who has painstakingly cultivated it, how could Meng Xi not see it?

However, it can be seen that he may not be able to hold back the anger in his heart.

With such a temperament, there is nothing you can do about it.

Just like many simple and basic principles, going to bed early and getting up early, staying up less late, smoking and drinking less are good for the body, but how many people can do it?

"Is it possible to let him show off his power in front of me? And after going through this incident, it is difficult not to offend him.

, on the contrary, it is better to teach him a lesson and let him know the consequences of going against me."

There was still a trace of unwillingness in Meng Xi's heart, and she looked directly at Lu Shun and said firmly.

He felt that the second child, Meng Wen, was trying to win over Meng Zhao by showing kindness. If he did the same thing again, he would definitely not be as good as the second child.

It would be better to show him power and make Meng Zhao throw himself into a trap and not dare to end easily.

Lu Shun shook his head, recalling what he had observed about Meng Zhao in the study before, and replied,

“Young Master’s idea is not wrong, but it also depends on who the target is.

The Fourth Young Master Meng Zhao has a tiger in his heart and is hiding from the dragon. He is by no means someone who easily bows his head and admits defeat.

The greater possibility is that it aroused his resistance and pushed him to the side of the second young master.

As the old saying goes, the fourth young master, Meng Zhao, can only be comforted and won over, not suppressed.

The young slave is also sure that as long as the young master does not take the initiative to show hostility to the fourth young master, he will most likely not fall to the second young master's side, at least he will not make his position clear so quickly."

When Meng Xi heard this, he was a little distracted for a moment. He had always been domineering, but he had forgotten that once others did not buy his fault, this domineering behavior would only become a trigger for intensifying conflicts.

Lu Shun's words made him less angry, more rational, and thinking again and again.

According to common sense, he is the eldest son of the Meng family. In terms of status, he is the well-deserved heir.

However, because Meng Jizu, the head of the Meng family, is a pragmatic and strong man, he once personally told the two brothers that he hoped to choose a person with stronger martial arts and abilities to inherit the Meng family.

Two people can only express themselves in the most healthy way of competition. If anyone has the intention to kill his brothers, Meng Ji's group will not only destroy his martial arts, but also imprison him in the mansion for the rest of his life. Naturally, he will fight with

The identity of the heir to the Meng family has been separated.

Therefore, in the past few years, the two of them have tried their best to improve themselves and express themselves, without daring to take the wrong path.

As a reflection of personal ability, the forces under his command and the friends around him are also very important.

If Meng Xi really forced his cousin Meng Zhao and the entire second wife to side with his brother, Meng Jizu's evaluation in his heart would definitely be lowered a lot, which he would never tolerate.

Lu Shun knew Meng Xi's nature well and knew better what reasons to use to convince him, so he pointed out these points to let Meng Xi understand that he was the one who was really passive now, not Meng Zhao.

What's more, leaving aside the blood relatives and the influence of the second wife, Meng Zhao has a noble status and has official status. This is an advantage that is different from ordinary people. It is not easy to humiliate without paying the price.

In addition, two brothers, Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao, must feel guilty and fond of Meng Zhao, who has been away from home for many years. In this case, wouldn't it be unwise to make Meng Zhao angry?

You may not be able to think clearly about some things when you are in a state of mind, but once you calm down, your thinking will return to normal.

These obvious things are naturally seen.

Meng Xi suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger, and thought more in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly said,

"By the way, will father and third uncle be back soon?"

Lu Shun was a little stunned. He was obviously talking about Meng Zhao, but why did he suddenly talk about the family head?

"That's right, I remember, little slave, that the head of the family and the third master have been away from home for more than a month, and even the fourth young master couldn't meet him in time when he returned home.

But they must be very anxious, and if we calculate the time, they should be back soon."

Meng Xi lowered his head thoughtfully and thought for a moment, then said,

"Then tell me, after my father comes back, I recommend him to participate in the competition with the Sun family. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shun was stunned.

The relationship between the Sun and Meng families has been deteriorating in recent years, causing friction and hurting each other. Even the Nan'an County Sheriff had to step in to smooth things over many times.

Especially recently, the two parties have been quarreling over the ownership of an inestimable mine, and their hostility has tended to escalate.

However, any force at the level of the Meng and Sun families would not easily start a full-scale war.

Not only will the impact be too great, but even if we can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, in order to take over the mine without having to go to war, the two sides decided to conduct three competitions to compare the strength of their respective families to determine the ownership of the mine.

This method is somewhat common in this world and is called a duel.

In reality, it is just an alternative display of strength for one's own family.

Only when the family is strong enough can we cultivate powerful warriors.

Just like in nature, when some top beasts meet, each other will show off their body, size, fangs, and claws to scare off the rival beasts, instead of easily starting a real fight.

In addition, the economy, politics, culture, military, etc. among major countries are all manifestations of national strength, and the most direct one is military strength.

As for which of the two forces is stronger, of course you can't tell by talking about it, and you can't reveal each other's weaknesses to the other party.

In the end, whether it is a mule or a horse, it still has to be taken out for a walk.

The decisive battle, this way of resolving conflicts and contradictions, came into being and became a feature of this world.

For example, in the Taishan Huimeng, Emperor Beitang Sheng first used the immortal magic Ziwei Yaoshi Jue to defeat several other great kings at that time one by one, thereby gaining the support and support of most of the forces in the world, and promised to rule the world with all the kings.

Only by taking this oath can the war be finally put to rest and the Dayong Dynasty established.

Although there are more and deeper meanings hidden in it, it is undeniable that the Taishan Alliance, to a certain extent, also has the nature of a duel.
