Chapter 154 Young Master, Don't Say It When You Get Beaten
Wang Shaxiong looked at Lu Jing's back and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Yushi in the distance had already stopped and turned to look at Lu Jing. Lu Jing was still walking in the empty mountain alley with a calm look. From beginning to end, he only glanced at Li Yushi.
Li Yushi held his white jade folding fan in his hand, looked at Lu Jing coldly for a few seconds, then took a few steps forward and said softly, "Lu Jing, you and I got to know each other. Today... I'll treat you to a drink."
Wang Shaxiong walked to the side of the road, bowed his head and waited, not daring to interrupt, but suddenly felt in his heart... With the temperament shown by Lu Jing, his own Mr. Rain Master was probably going to be rejected.
However……
To Wang Shaxiong's surprise, when he heard Li Yushi's call, Lu Jing stopped in the distance and turned around.
He looked at Li Yushi, with a smile on his face, and replied: "Master Yu once invited me to drink at Yanglu Street, and I ate many delicacies from the mountains and seas that I had never seen before.
Now that I think about it, I owe Mr. Yushi a meal. If you want to see me today, why don't you let Lu Jing invite you to the Deer Restaurant?"
Li Yushi looked indifferent and said: "It's just a meal. Given Mr. Jing's position, why do you need to remember this?"
"But as you said, I really want to see you today. Since the young master has invited me, the Rain Master will naturally agree."
After Lu Jing said this, he did not hesitate, turned around and walked out of Kongshan Lane, heading towards Yanglu Street.
Li Yushi clasped his hands behind his back and walked beside him, without opening the folding fan in his hand. He looked up at the road ahead, wondering what he was thinking.
Wang Shaxiong wore a long sword on his waist and followed Li Yushi.
All the way into Yanglu Street, the shopkeeper saw Li Yushi and Lu Jing, and they immediately bowed to greet them.
"There are already people on the third floor?"
Li Yushi heard the restaurant owner's confession and snorted coldly: "Just drive them out and kill the bear..."
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the restaurant owner. Master Li Yu was instructing Wang to kill the bear.
Lu Jing cast a glance at Li Yushi's face and said, "Master Yushi, since Lu Jing is the one responsible for this incident, you shouldn't have to worry about arranging it.
Shopkeeper, just find a quiet seat."
The restaurant owner bowed to Lu Jing repeatedly, looked around as if he was remembering something, and said: "Two noble lords, the sun is shining brightly in Xuandu today. Behind this restaurant is your small courtyard. There is a small pavilion in the courtyard. In the small pavilion,
I have already set up the stove and am sitting around it, enjoying tea and drinking wine. What do you think, gentlemen?"
Li Yushi didn't say anything, but Lu Jing didn't want to embarrass the restaurant owner, so he just nodded in agreement.
So the shopkeeper personally led the three of them into the small courtyard.
The small courtyard behind the restaurant is not actually elegant, because it is winter, and the vegetation has long since withered. It is too laborious to maintain, and the water in the only small pool has been drained out.
Fortunately, it snowed heavily yesterday, and the snowflakes fell on the trees and rockeries, but they had not been cleaned, so there was a unique sense of beauty.
Lu Jing and Li Yushi were sitting by the stove, looking at the snow that had not gone away.
The king killed the bear, wore a long knife on his waist, and poured deer wine for the two of them.
"Master Yushi, please treat me to delicacies from the mountains and seas. I will be the host today, but I can only treat you to a few famous dishes from Yanglu Restaurant, and you can only drink a glass of Yanglu wine, which is not expensive."
Lu Jing smiled and nodded to Wang Shaxiong while talking to Li Yushi.
Li Yushi's face was always cold, and there was a faint anger that could not be suppressed in his eyes.
Wang Shaxiong poured wine for the two of them, but Li Yushi was unwilling to drink. He put the wine glass on the stove and let the hot mist rise from the wine.
But Lu Jing didn't care. The white robe and the white snowflakes, coupled with his jade-like appearance, actually complemented each other.
The two were silent.
It's just that Li Yushi's face was full of anger, but Lu Jing's face always had a smile. This is the difference between the two.
Several dishes were served at Yanglu Restaurant, but Lu Jing did not want to greet Master Li Yu at this time and only wanted to taste them by himself.
It's time for tea.
Li Yushi seemed to be unable to hold back at last. He raised his eyes to look at the courtyard and said in a cold voice: "Lu Jing, I ask myself to be sincere in my friendship with you. I don't see you on weekdays."
I will treat you with courtesy, and I will always call you sir!
I, Master Li Yu, have a certain reputation in Taixuan Capital, and even the adults in the court will politely call me Young Master when they see me."
"It's just that you seem to take this for granted. I treat you with sincerity, but you have never treated me with sincerity. You actually came to the gate of my Li Mansion with your corpse to question my Li family!"
Li Yushi's expression became more and more indifferent, and there was already anger in his eyes when he looked at Lu Jing.
"The reason I came here this time is to ask you, Lu Jing, do you want to be an enemy of my Li family, or have you fallen under the prince's spell and want to use this as an excuse to become an enemy of the seventh prince?"
Lu Jing squinted his eyes, looked at Li Yushi at this time, suddenly smiled softly, and asked: "Master Yu, why are you like this?"
Li Yushi's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent, just looking at Lu Jing.
Lu Jing picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton at random, put it into his mouth, chewed slowly, swallowed the mutton, then put down his chopsticks and said softly: "Master Yushi, if you want to ask anything, just ask.
Why do you need to pretend to be immoderate and furious?"
Li Yushi's eyes were still on Lu Jing and he didn't speak.
Lu Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Yu today is different from the past. He knows that I already have a rift with the Li family, but he still wants to treat me with a superior attitude.
As soon as you enter the restaurant, you have to chase people away. If I invite you to drink, the wine glass will burn red if you put it on the stove, and you won't want to take a sip.
At this time, you showed me indifference and provoked me with rage. The evil one complained first, hoping to make me feel aggrieved and reveal the reasons for my group on the Dragon Dance Street..."
When he said this, he flicked his fingers, and a divine thought carrying wind and thunder landed on the wine glass. The wine glass moved sideways and moved in front of Mr. Rain Master.
"Actually, Mr. Yushi, you don't have to be like this. You don't have to pretend to be anything today. Just take off your mask. If you want to ask Lu Jing, just ask him. If Lu Jing wants to answer, he will naturally answer it. If Lu Jing doesn't want to answer, you can't wait.
The method of provoking generals is useless."
With his head lowered, Wang Shaxiong had a strange look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at Young Master Yu.
Today he came here with his son, and he also felt that there was something strange about Master Yu.
Li Yushi has always been good at planning, but when he meets thousands of people, he always smiles and looks like a handsome young man.
Today, he seemed a little out of sorts.
Originally, Wang Shaxiong only thought that Lu Jing's trip to Wulong Street was too rude. Mr. Yushi, who had always been very elegant, was furious and lost his composure.
But when Lu Jing said the words just now.
Master Yu, whose eyes were full of indifference and whose face was vaguely exposed, suddenly calmed down and became as usual.
Although there was no smile on his face at this moment, he became much calmer.
Li Yushi, who was sitting opposite Lu Jing, finally moved his eyes away from Lu Jing's face and fell on the wine glass in front of him.
He did not hesitate to search for the wine glass and drank the already boiling deer wine in one gulp.
"Lu Jing, since you showed your prowess and since I came into contact with you, you have done many things that have surprised me."
When Li Yushi spoke, his tone became calmer. He took the tongs, clamped the fire plate, and personally added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove.
"When I first met you, I thought you were a young man who was willing to study, had a lot of energy in his silence, and was extremely talented."
"I think you have no reason to refuse the invitation from someone like the Seventh Prince, because you have lived in a wealthy family with a humble status for the past nine years. You have seen both the luxury of the palace and the evils of a humble birth.
Such a person, if he looks up and sees a broad road that leads straight to the blue sky, and he is not a slave, how can he refuse when being treated with courtesy by the Seventh Prince?"
"But you rejected me after all."
When Li Yushi said this, he couldn't help but frown and stared at the fire that was rising in the stove: "Later, you ignored your own safety and killed Xu Baiyan inexplicably."
"Later, you were assassinated, but you dared to drag the body into Wulong Street."
"To be honest, all of this makes me a little angry. I, Master Li Yu, have also lobbied many big houses to help the Seventh Prince, and I have also found several extraordinary monks for the Seventh Prince.
But you, a boy who is many years younger than me, make me unable to guess."
Lu Jing quietly
He listened breathlessly to Li Yushi's words. At this point, Li Yushi finally waved his sleeves and waved his hands to brush away the smoke and dust in the air.
"Young master Yushi told me this, do you want to apologize to me?"
Lu Jing's words were not very polite: "You said you were angry because you couldn't guess me, but I think you were angry because you couldn't control me. You said...right?"
Li Yushi waved away Wang Shaxiong who came forward to pour tea, picked up the wine pot himself, and poured wine for himself and Lu Jing.
"Isn't this what happened in Taixuan Capital? Even if you are powerful enough to reach the heavens, even if you are extremely talented, even if you have a huge mansion behind you, even if you have made unparalleled military exploits.
But after all, you have to be driven by others, because above you, there are people who are truly at the top.
Compared to you who just left the Lu Mansion, let alone the Seventh Prince, even if I stand up, my shadow can still cover you.
I wanted to control you at that time, so what's the wonder?"
"It's just a pity that you are a strange species, you don't take soft and hard, and you have some messy but firm rules in your heart, which allows you to temporarily avoid the fate of being controlled by me."
Li Yushi put down the wine bottle, raised the wine glass, and toasted to Lu Jing.
At this time, Lu Jing was unwilling to drink anymore and looked directly at Li Yushi: "You want to kill me in Kongshan Alley!"
Li Yushi's eyes flashed with strange color, but it disappeared in an instant, and there was no strange look on his face.
"Did you learn this news from the head of the Black Stone Hall?"
Li Yushi smiled.
He did not intend to deny the matter. Since Lu Jing dared to drag the monk's body all the way to Wulong Street, he was naturally convinced.
Even if he doesn't admit it at this time, it won't help.
For this reason, Li Yushi still had a calm demeanor and said with a smile: "I'm just adding fuel to the flames. And most of my original intention is not to kill you, but to force you to submit through these means."
Lu Jing nodded seriously: "But if I died that night, it would be in line with Master Yu's original intention. For a genius full of uncertainty, it is better to die than to be out of control."
Li Yushi had a smile on his face and said: "Drink."
Lu Jing thought for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"I am here today. In addition to confirming the master of the Black Stone Hall, I also want to ask you, why are you so sure that the bhikkhu who came to intercept and kill you on Jiao Shen Mountain and that kind of killing came from the Li family in Xuandu?"
Li Yushi looked at Lu Jing with curiosity on his face.
He did have a lot of questions in his mind. Even he didn't know about this matter. After the incident on Wulong Street, he met the Seventh Prince and learned many secrets.
However, Lu Jing seemed to firmly believe that the great monk came from the Li family, and even dared to drag the corpse to the door.
"Or...this is information from the prince's lineage?"
"No." Lu Jing shook his head: "Of course I know, but I don't want to tell Master Yu how I know."
Li Yushi understood quite well and just nodded lightly and stopped asking about the matter. The topic seemed to have returned to the beginning.
"This matter was indeed a misjudgment on my part. I thought that with Xu Baiyan as a cover, you couldn't possibly count me out.
But I never thought that because of the servant's mistake, the master of Black Stone Hall would be let go.
But that’s nothing. Since there is a risk, there is a solution.”
"So Mr. Lu Jing wants to make an enemy of me and the seventh prince because of the assassination in Kongshan Alley?"
"Mr. Lu Jing...you fell under the prince's spell because of this incident?"
Li Yushi's eyes gradually became solemn and he stared at Lu Jing closely. Every change in Lu Jing's expression fell into his eyes.
"I have already said that I have never wanted to be involved in the whirlpool of the Tianlong Controversy."
Lu Jing sighed: "But Mr. Yu Master, you are not willing to step into the trap to lure me into the whirlpool."
"I have already said that I have never fallen under the prince's spell. You still don't believe me. You are not sure. You only want to kill me when you have doubts."
"Just like Mr. Master Yu said just now, there are taller people standing on the towering peaks above me. They want to control many things, and they want to control me.
But they never thought that people standing on the mountain always have many choices
Choice, just choose at will to determine the lives of people in low places.
But...the people standing at the foot of the mountain have no choice.
You want to kill me, and if I don’t fight, how can I be worthy of the long sword at my waist, and how can I be worthy of the supporting light sword energy I have cultivated?"
Li Yushi heard Lu Jing's words, but he was not touched at all. He drank all the wine in the glass and then said indifferently: The seventh prince will build a bridge to heaven for you. You don't want to step on this bridge to lead to the true world.
of mountain peaks.
If you had been standing on the peak of the Seventh Prince from the very beginning, where would you have encountered so many disasters?"
Li Yushi's words made Lu Jing slightly stunned, then shook his head and laughed loudly!
He was full of energy and blood, and seemed to be laughing. His laughter shook the small courtyard, shaking the snowflakes off the branches, revealing the ruins of the winter trees.
"Master Yushi, you are used to looking down from top to bottom."
When Li Yushi and Wang Shaxiong looked at Lu Jing, not only did Lu Jing laugh, but Lu Jing's laughter stopped and his tone became much more serious: "You are so used to standing on the mountain that you would say such a thing.
That’s why you have such indifference to the lives of people in lower places!”
"You can choose to look down when you stand at a high place, but I am waiting at the lowest point and have no choice.
Master Yu is very aggressive today. Although he hides it with rage, indifference, anger, peace, etc., I can still see that in Master Yu’s eyes, even a talented person like me, before he has grown up,
, it’s not a big threat, that’s why you said what you just said.”
Li Yushi took a deep breath and said softly: "Since you dragged the corpse to the door of the Li Mansion first, this matter has become irreversible. Regardless of whether you are under the prince's spell or not, you are the enemy of the seventh prince and the Li family of Xuandu."
"In the whirlpool, some dead bones must be rolled out before the wind is strong. Lu Jing..."
Li Yushi raised his head, his eyes already gleaming with coldness: "I know how stubborn and stubborn you are in your heart.
Now that we have completely broken up, there is no room for reconciliation between us.
I...will show you a clear path!"
At this moment, a look of indifference finally appeared in Li Yushi's eyes again. This time, the indifference revealed extreme coldness as well as bursts of murderous thoughts.
"Go! If you want to compete with my Li family, if you want to be the enemy of the seventh prince, then you will fall under the prince's demon.
The battle between heaven and dragon always requires ape fangs. With your talent, the prince will definitely cherish you, will definitely treat you with courtesy, and will definitely heal your soul injury for you!
But I want to see what role a talented person like Nan Heyu or the third prince of the Dragon King can play before he has grown up.
I also want to see how long you can survive in Taixuanjing!"
Since it's irreversible, I don't have anything to worry about.
A young master from a wealthy family like the Li family in Xuandu is naturally a bit ambitious.
And behind him are Li Guanlong of Shaozhu Kingdom, Duke Chu, and many other prosperous mansions... and the seventh prince whose eyes reflect the fairyland!
A genius is naturally valuable, but when this genius is irrevocably on the opposite side.
Why do they...why do they need to pretend?
It is precisely because of this courage, precisely because Li Yushi stood under the towering tree, and every leaf falling from the towering tree was enough to set off huge waves. Li Yushi pointed out this to Lu Jing in front of the stove and snow scene.
road!
Wang Shaxiong was silent in silence, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. He came from a humble background, and he actually respected Mr. Lu Jing in his heart. He had always hoped that Mr. Lu Jing would fall under the power of the Seventh Prince and that he could fight alongside him.
But in the end, everything went counterproductive...
According to the current situation, Mr. Lu Jing is afraid that he will definitely stand opposite the seventh prince and will fall under the prince's spell.
But...when his thoughts flashed.
Lu Jing, who had been silent for a few breaths, frowned.
"Why do you all think that only those who stand on the top can decide the outcome?"
Lu Jing asked like this.
Li Yushi's eyes moved slightly, not knowing what Lu Jing meant.
"You knew about Kongshan Alley because you suspected me
Because of the assassination, I suspect that I have fallen under the prince’s spell and become your enemy, Mr. Yushi.”
"I know the mastermind behind the interception and killing of Da Zhi Bhikkhu from Jiao Shen Mountain. You still suspect that I have fallen under the prince's demons. It is the information provided by the prince's lineage."
"Now, the thin layer of skin between you and me has finally been torn off. If you want to kill me, I have to resist.
But you also think that only by falling under the prince's demon can I fight against you and have a chance of survival."
Lu Jing's tone was calm, his eyes were calm, his face was very calm, he just frowned.
But just by frowning, Li Yushi and Wang Shaxiong suddenly felt a bit cold.
"Because you have been passively involved in the whirlpool."
Li Yushi thought for a while and replied: "You are Mr. Library, but the library will not participate in the imperial struggle. The library has its own philosophy and is a sacred place for preaching and teaching.
If the library is involved in the dispute between heaven and dragon because of secular affairs, it will not be a holy place, but will fall from the sacred place and become as miserable as those secular gangs."
"You are on good terms with Prince Chong'an, and I know that the chief minister admires you very much, but he is the chief minister of the dynasty, and his will is actually the will of the Holy King.
Since the Holy Lord wants to use the Seventh Prince to sharpen the Crown Prince, he will never suppress the Seventh Prince for your sake..."
Li Yushi used the tongs to play with the coal in the stove, and a lot of dust and smoke came out, and the soot wine fell on the food not far away.
"That's not what I'm asking." Lu Jing looked at the food, his frown deepening: "I'm asking you... If I don't want to fall under the prince's demon, just with my thin body,
Is there no chance of survival?"
"Death is certain."
Li Yushi casually threw the fire tongs on the stove with a cold smile: "In the past, it was just a small fight, but after losing a sacred fire monk and losing a Zunlu Xingzong, you showed your courage on the Dragon Dance Street again.
The Seventh Prince will definitely kill you."
When Lu Jing heard Li Yushi's words, he stubbornly shook his head: "The power of life does not lie in obedience."
"Master Yushi, you showed me the way to join the prince's demons, but I feel that I can protect Ichigo myself with just myself and the sword energy I have developed."
"Even... I can avenge my death, and the power of all parties will be used for me, but not as a slave. Mr. Rain Master, do you believe it?
Li Yushi stared at Lu Jing's serious eyes and suddenly burst into laughter. He patted the stove and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. He also spoke intermittently: "Lu Jing, since you left the Lu Mansion, you have been shining brightly, so that you
I feel like I am an immortal sun rising again and again.
But you don’t know that there is already a rising sun hanging high in the sky and earth, and it is not a round one. Now you are just a seed, but you have just been planted.
When the rays of the real scorching sun shine down, the flowers that finally bloomed from the seeds will wither and wither!"
"Wouldn't that be better?" Lu Jing squinted his eyes: "The weak light competes with the scorching sun. I am happy to win, but also happy to lose!
Although I am just a seed, I have raised a great sun and a spring thunder in my heart!
Under this bright sun and spring thunder, if I don't have the courage to stand in Kunlun, wouldn't I be looked down upon by you?"
"Master Yushi, let's take a walk and take a look!
Let’s not talk about the Seventh Prince for now. Whether I live or die, you will die in my hands. Do you believe it?”
boom!
Suddenly, a violent aura came out of Li Yushi.
The pressure of the divine fire realm was overwhelmingly suppressing Lu Jing.
Lu Jing stood firm and motionless: "Young Master Yu suppressed me with his courage. Do you think your courage is greater than those of the generals of Wulong Street?"
Li Yushi shook his head and smiled broadly: "I'm not suppressing you with my courage, I'm suppressing you with my cultivation.
My talent is far inferior to yours, but I am a few years older than you.
And this is your great weakness. A genius like you is going to die before he has grown up, so how can you kill me?"
"That makes sense."
Lu Dingding nodded, but then looked around and asked: "Master Yu, I remember there is another person beside you.
A monk in the realm of divine fire?"
Li Yushi said calmly: "He is by my side. This is also the real hidden secret in Taixuan Jing."
Lu Jing looked at Wang Shaxiong again.
At this time, Wang Shaxiong's eyes were calm. His right hand fell on the long sword on his waist, and the long sword had already been unsheathed.
Even though Wang Shaxiong respects Lu Jing very much, he is under the influence of human beings and naturally wants to plot for others.
If Li Yushi ordered it, Wang Shaxiong would not hesitate to draw his sword!
Lu Jing sensed Wang Shaxiong's sword intention, sensed the divine fire aura in Li Yushi's body, and even vaguely felt that in the void around him, an extremely terrifying divine thought had locked his body.
And Li Yushi didn't forget to pick up the wine glass and drink at this time.
He just put the wine glass into his mouth.
But then Lu Jing asked curiously: "Master Yu, has the Li family in Xuandu matched you with a strong man in the seventh realm?"
The wine Li Yushi introduced into his mouth instantly became extremely spicy. His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Lu Jing.
"Lu Jing..."
He didn't finish speaking.
Behind Lu Jing, an extremely masculine energy and blood rolled out, the void shook, and the surrounding air exploded.
The vitality was also squeezed by such thick blood, and during the shock, bursts of booming sounds were made, which made people's minds sway.
Just for a moment.
Guan Yaoluo's tall body appeared behind Lu Jing.
Waves of absolute courage, martial arts spirits, and energy and blood integrated into the thunder suddenly came out, completely suppressing Li Yushi, Wang Shaxiong, and the skinny old man hidden in the void.
Heavy pressure fell on them, and murderous intent surged.
Li Yushi took a deep breath, put down his wine glass, and did not dare to move at all...
Because they sensed that the violent energy and blood in Zhuo Yaoluo's body would be suppressed at any time. If there was any abnormal movement, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
At this moment, Lu Jing was drinking slowly like Li Yushi just now.
Li Yushi seemed to be aware of something, and when he raised his head... he saw a Buddhist flag shining brightly in the sky, with arrays of Buddhist sounds in it, covering the small courtyard and blocking the fluctuations of vitality in the small courtyard.
"Master Yushi, you made a miscalculation."
Lu Jing stared at Li Yushi: "At least in this small courtyard, my background is stronger than yours."
Li Yushi was silent for a while and sneered: "It's just that I never thought that you would suppress me with this three-eyed stone man.
Otherwise, even if I, the demonic cultivator of the Divine Fire, won’t kill the bear, you won’t be able to defeat me... You can kill the great bhikkhu only by using your inner strength, not..."
Bang!
Lu Jing punched Li Yushi in the face.
Li Yushi's eyes popped out, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he spit out two teeth.
The intense pain left him speechless, and he could only look at Lu Jing fiercely.
"When you sent people to kill me, why didn't you want to fight me alone?"
Lu Jing smiled brightly: "Master Yu, if you receive a beating from me today, please don't tell anyone."
"As you said, you also have a great reputation in Taixuan Capital."
