This fireplace was so huge that it almost opened half of the wall. The fire inside was not ordinary charcoal and firewood, but agarwood charcoal forged by Xu Longxiang who paid a lot of money.
Of course, it is called agarwood charcoal, so it cannot be calcined entirely with agarwood powder. If that were the case, even the emperor would not be able to afford it.
However, as the name suggests, this agarwood charcoal is naturally related to agarwood. Yes, this agarwood charcoal is made from camphor trees and agarwood, which are calcined in a ratio of one thousand to one.
Even if this is the case, the cost is also staggering. For this reason, Xu Longxiang specially funded the construction of an agarwood charcoal calcining plant.
Every year, more than a dozen charcoal burners spend nearly 100,000 yuan, but they can't even make enough agarwood charcoal to last Hu Donghai through the winter.[
Since this kind of agarwood charcoal is so difficult to obtain, it is naturally not just an ordinary commodity.
Yes, when this kind of agarwood charcoal burns, the color of the fire is golden, but not blazing, the smoke is less ash, and the temperature is extremely high. What’s even more amazing is that when burning, it can emit a light fragrance, which can calm the mind and refresh the mind.
It's pleasant.
Now that winter is about to enter, Hu Donghai's body is becoming more and more afraid of the cold. In this kind of weather, he can hardly leave this small bamboo pavilion or the charcoal fire in the furnace for a moment.
At this time, it was getting very late. He was sitting around the fire, quietly flipping through a book. The aroma of tea was lingering on the bench on one side. Except for Xu Longxiang who couldn't help but rub his big hands on the other side of the bench.
,At this moment, the atmosphere in the house is really peaceful and peaceful to the extreme.
In the minds of many refined people, having a book to read and a cup of tea to drink under the shade of locust trees on summer nights and by the fire in winter is the greatest enjoyment in the world.
At this moment, the book Hu Donghai was reading was not a thread-bound book, but a thick blue-cased notebook with five bold and powerful regular script characters written on it.
When Xu Longxiang asked this question, Hu Donghai's arm on the side also shook suddenly, and he almost lost his grip on the book in his hand.
"No, thanks to Mr. Hu's careful planning, otherwise, I might not be able to come back this time. You don't know how terrifying that Xue Xiang is, he is simply not a human being. I climbed on the wall, more than thirty meters away
, there was a closed bed in the middle. As soon as I stabilized my body, I peeked at the bed sheet. In an instant, the bed was opened. Fortunately for me, the bed sheet was opened.
I moved quickly, and as soon as I moved, I slipped down the wall. Who knew that in just three or four seconds, Xue Xiang, who was still in the room, appeared on the eaves of the wall that I was climbing on. You know, there was a
After a distance of more than 30 meters, you still have to climb a high wall more than four meters high. It takes three or four seconds. Not even a monkey can move this fast..."
Scar seemed to be still frightened when he recalled the scene at that time, his eyes were hollow, and his expression seemed to be babbled.
To say that Scar was really frightened today, it was not that he had never met Xue Xiang. When he was protecting Xu Longxiang at the airport, he even extended his hand to Xue Xiang. Who knew that Xue Xiang had to deal with him so hard that he almost gave him one of his hands?
Destroyed.
However, despite this, he only thought that Xue Xiang was superior. Even after hearing about the tragic experience of the Qing Gang at the Pearl International Hotel a few days ago, he didn't realize how scary Xue Xiang was. After all, there are some things that cannot be seen in person.
Just imagine.
But today, he was really frightened. If he hadn't been cautious by nature, and any person with a little arrogance would still lurk when Xue Xiang opened his door, he would definitely not be able to come back tonight.
After listening to Scar's words, Mr. Xu's face was so cold that water almost dripped from his face.
It turned out that the fact that he and Hu Donghai were not embarrassed at this moment was also related to Scar's actions tonight.
Speaking of which, Mr. Xu has been holding it in for so long that he can no longer hold it in. Xue Xiang is like a terrifying ghost, appearing in Mr. Xu’s nightmare every night. His career and his life are almost gone.
They are all shrouded in this shadow.
If he didn't find a way to deal with Xue Xiang, he, Mr. Xu, could still try to endure it. But now that Hu Donghai had pointed out Xue Xiang's Achilles' heel, he still asked Mr. Xu to be patient. This was like kidnapping an alcoholic.
Don't allow him to drink from the wine vat. If you scratch a person who is very itchy but don't let him use it, this is the greatest cruelty in the world.
Mr. Xu couldn't bear this kind of cruelty, so he wanted to attack Xue Xiang, but Hu Donghai firmly opposed it, believing that the more calm he had to be at this critical moment, any rash action would inevitably destroy all the previous efforts.
, all in vain.
But things in this world are easy to understand but difficult to act accordingly.
Who has never told their children that if they study hard, they can achieve good results? Don’t children understand this truth? There are only a few people who can do it.
Addicts still know that taking drugs is not good, but who can resist it?
Mr. Xu is now a combination of a child and a drug addict. He can't help it. If he waits here for a day, Xu's investment in Pujiang will have to be delayed for a day, which is a loss calculated in tens of thousands per year.
Therefore, he wanted Xue Laosan to be finished, immediately.
Therefore, for the first time, Xu Longxiang could no longer listen to Hu Donghai's advice.
Of course, he was determined not to stand up to Hu Donghai, because Xu Longxiang's name as "Today's Liu Bei" was not blown out of proportion.
Since it is Liu Bei, no matter how angry he is or if he insists on going his own way, such as launching the Battle of Yiling, he will never quarrel with his Zhuge Liang.
At that time, after some persuasion failed, Mr. Xu pretended that he would not act rashly and quietly retreated, but behind his back, he ordered Scar to act.[
It wasn't until Hu Donghai came to invite Hu Donghai to dinner in the evening, but failed to come, that Mr. Xu realized that something serious was going on.
Indeed, with Hu Donghai's wisdom and understanding of Xu Longxiang, he naturally knew what kind of mentality Xu Longxiang had when he left and what he would do behind the scenes.
When Xu Longxiang turned back again, Hu Donghai was already sitting by the fire holding the "Collection of Xue Xiang's Affairs".
Xu Longxiang knew that Hu Donghai would never go to eat again, because this was Hu Donghai's living habit. He would pick up a book at night and only put it down before going to sleep. He had to take it with him even when he went to the toilet.
Because of this, Xu Longxiang also knew that Hu Donghai was using a special way to express dissatisfaction with him.
Hu Donghai was dissatisfied, but Xu Longxiang believed that his plan would not fail. Besides, he was just asking Scar to step on the spot tonight, not actually installing the thing. As long as he was careful, there would be no accidents.
Therefore, when they arrived at Xiaozhuxuan, Xu Longxiang never apologized. The two of them just sat there without any embarrassment, Hu Donghai reading and he warming himself by the fire.
Before Scar entered the door, Xu Longxiang endured it for a long time and finally broke the silence with a word. Unexpectedly, Hu Donghai answered lightly and the atmosphere became weird again.
Until Scar came in and reported the failure of the operation, Xu Longxiang's heart seemed to be immersed in an ice cave. Fortunately, Scar followed up with "Thanks to Mr. Hu's careful planning", and Xu Longxiang's heart was lifted again.
With a pop, he fell back into his cavity, but Xu Longxiang was still quite frightened.
Because the success of this plan is as huge as the profits, the consequences of failure will be disastrous. If it succeeds, Xue Xiang will be ruined and Qianlong will die; if it fails, the Xu family he has worked so hard to manage will be destroyed, and he, Xu, will also be in trouble.
live.
Therefore, the involvement was unprecedentedly large, and the heavy pressure on his heart was even more unbearable. Therefore, just now, when Xu Longxiang heard Scar's unsuccessful report, he felt like he was going to die.
Fortunately, after all, he is a man with a strong mind. At this time, he has understood the importance of the situation. He quickly turned around and bowed to Hu Donghai: "Mr. Hu, I was wrong!" After saying that, his waist still kept the bow posture.
Mr. Xu is a arrogant person. If he treats others, no matter how outrageous his mistake is, he will never utter the words "I was wrong."
But for Hu Donghai, who was both a teacher and a friend, the only way to deal with it was "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no greater good."
Hu Donghai's eyebrows twitched, he closed the book casually, picked up the blistered melon slices, took a sip, and sighed: "Sir, I gave this book to you, I hope you can read it more!"
Hu Donghai didn't answer the question, but Xu Longxiang knew that the truth must be in this book, so he bowed and answered.
Hu Donghai stood up and helped Xu Longxiang, "Sir, do you know what kind of opponent we are fighting?"
Before Xu Longxiang could speak, Hu Donghai waved his hand again and said something astonishing.
