Mr. Lu Yanxi was sitting on a stool drinking alone.
Bafang table, a few side dishes on the table.
"Here?" Lu Yanxi asked after taking a sip of wine.
Meng Xiaoan said: "Well, old man, what do you think of my skills?"
Lu Yanxi said: "Are you ready now? But you need to practice more. I heard from Bronze that you handed over the ring."
Meng Xiaoan said: "Well, yes, I will get the ring back, because it belongs to someone else, and I will keep it well."
Lu Yanxi didn't ask him about custody. He believed Meng Xiaoan because of his confident eyes.
Lu Yanxi asked Meng Xiaoan to sit across from him. After Meng Xiaoan sat down, Lu Yanxi pinched a peanut with chopsticks and said, "Pick up the chopsticks and grab it." Meng Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, but quickly grasped it.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and pinched the peanut like lightning. However, no matter how fast Meng Xiaoan was, the peanut in Lu Yanxi's chopsticks was still firmly in the middle of his chopsticks. Meng Xiaoan stopped and saw nothing.
Frustrated look: "I can't catch it."
Lu Yanxi said earnestly: "Your speed is still not fast enough."
Meng Xiaoan received the lesson. In front of the old and antique old man Lu Yanxi, he was resigned to being defeated and said: "Old man, do you think my skills are useful in family competitions?"
Lu Yanxi said leisurely: "There is a chance, but we may lose in the end."
Meng Xiaoan shrugged and said: "If you lose, just lose. It's not a big deal."
Lu Yanxi said: "Well, it seems that you are not under any pressure. Many people face difficulties head on, but when it comes to taking a step back, the world will be brighter."
Meng Xiaoan smiled and said: "I can't help it, after all, who doesn't want to stand on the top and look down."
Lu Yanxi said: "You may have this opportunity, but it still takes time."
Meng Xiaoan stood up and said, "I'm going to practice first."
Lu Yanxi nodded.
Meng Xiaoan held the wood and began to chop it into the water in the large water tank.
After an hour, Lu Yanxi said: "That's it."
Meng Xiaoan stopped practicing.
Lu Yanxi said: "Go take a shower, change into a clean set of clothes, and go to Shaoming's house. You have twenty minutes."
Meng Xiaoan smiled, thinking that Lu Yanxi had such a plan, to go to the governor's house? Meng Xiaoan's contact with senior officials in this life may have started with this person named Shaoming. Lu Yanxi led Meng Xiaoan to Xu
When we arrived at Zhaoming's house, Xu Zhaoming had just sent a gray-haired old man to the door.
As soon as Lu Yanxi saw the white-haired old man, his face showed an indescribable excitement, and he immediately stepped forward. He seemed to have a lot to say, but when he saw the old man, he couldn't say a word and just kept talking.
Moving.
Meng Xiaoan followed behind. When he saw the old man's face, he felt that he looked very familiar. His eyebrows were almost splayed. He looked like a very serious and meticulous old man. Although he was getting older, his eyes were so bright and sharp.
, like a sharp sword.
Meng Xiaoan's mind flashed, and he finally knew who this old man was? He was just a little bit surprised as to why this old man appeared here.
Meng Xiaoan thought he was the biggest official he had seen today, but he didn't expect such an old man to appear again.
Zhu Lao, the Prime Minister of the Republic who has abdicated.
"Feast." The old man smiled like a reunited friend, "You old weirdo is indeed in Yunnan."
Lu Yanxi suppressed his excitement and said, "Prime Minister, Mr. Lu misses you."
"Haha, I am no longer Prime Minister. Let's go, let's go for a walk."
Lu Yanxi said to Zhaoming, "Meng Xiaoan can complete the task I assigned him. You can rest assured, Mr. Xu." He turned to Meng Xiaoan and said, "I want to go out with the Prime Minister. Please remember that I
Did I teach you the steps?”
Meng Xiaoan nodded, glanced at the old man Zhu Xing with a hint of respect, and smiled.
After the two old men left, Xu Zhaoming said to Meng Xiaoan: "Mr. Lu has taught you the steps, so you must be proficient in it."
Meng Xiaoan said: "Well, I'm already proficient."
Xu Zhaoming said: "Then let's go in."
Xu Zhaoming led Meng Xiaoan to the living room. There were two women and a child in the living room. Xu Zhaoming made a brief introduction. One was his wife, one was his wife's sister, and the other was his second female lead, about
He is 18 years old, with short hair, a fair face, and a pair of eyes that can speak.
Meng Xiaoan started working after talking to them one by one.
Meng Xiaoan first took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Half an hour later, a car drove to Xu Zhaoming's house.
Four people came in, carrying a large water tank.
It is a large tank containing butterfly fish.
The four of them carefully put it down and left.
Meng Xiaoan walked to the big water tank and looked up at the sky. It was the scorching sun.
"This is the butterfly fish? It's so beautiful." Xu Zhaoming's daughter Yi Chu came over, looked down at the butterfly fish in the tank, and said with praise.
Meng Xiaoan smiled and said: "It is very beautiful, but the butterfly fish itself is poisonous."
Yi Chu said: "Poisonous things are often used to tempt others, just like the red crown of a crane, isn't it?"
Meng Xiaoan still smiled and said: "Well, that's it."
Yichu asked: "You haven't been with Mr. Lu for a long time, have you?" She knew exactly what kind of person Lu Yanxi was. She only accepted one apprentice in her life, but why she suddenly accepted another apprentice in her old age made her a little confused.
curious.
Meng Xiaoan said: "Well, it won't be long, just a few days or so."
Yi Chu said: "Then you must have some talent. If not, I don't think Grandpa Lu would accept you as his apprentice."
Meng Xiaoan smiled mockingly to himself and said, "I'm not his apprentice. He doesn't seem to be planning to accept her anymore." The governor's daughter is quite approachable and doesn't have that unruly or willful temper.
Yi Chu shook his head and said with some disbelief: "I know Grandpa Lu's temperament. If he hadn't accepted you as his apprentice, he wouldn't have taught you."
Meng Xiaoan looked at the time. Half an hour had passed and it was time to catch butterfly fish.
Meng Xiaoan said: "I'm going to catch the fish first." He put on the special pair of gloves.
Meng Xiaoan stared closely at a butterfly fish swimming in the water tank, feeling very calm. The more this happened, the calmer he became.
Perhaps, he was born for big occasions.
Meng Xiaoan's hand reached into the water tank like lightning, and when he took it out again, he had already caught the head of the butterfly fish in his hand.
Yichu looked a little dumbfounded: "So fast?"
"I have practiced catching fish for many days."
Meng Xiaoan smiled and walked into the kitchen, which was completely made of wood.
Even the wood has not been chopped.
Meng Xiaoan first took an ax and chopped twelve pieces of wood, no more and no less.
Meng Xiaoan put three ladles of water into the large pot, then lit the fire, and then put the wood in after the light was turned on.
Meng Xiaoan waited for the water to boil and put the butterfly fish in again.
After the twelve pieces of wood were burned, the butterfly fish was healed.
Yichu had been looking at Meng Xiaoan. She had seen old man Lu Yanxi cook the butterfly fish. Meng Xiaoan's movements were a little unfamiliar, but he remembered the basic steps correctly.
"Mmm, it smells so good."
Butterfly fish exudes a strange fragrance.
Similar to osmanthus fragrance.
At this time Xu Zhaoming walked in and smelled the scent of butterfly fish: "It smells the same as Mr. Lu, Meng Xiaoan, your level is good."
Meng Xiaoan said, "Thank you."
Meng Xiaoan followed Xu Zhaoming through the winding corridors and came to a small room.
Xu Zhaoming knocked on the door a few times, then opened the door and walked in.
Meng Xiaoan went in and saw an old man lying on the bed, and the room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
The old man is probably in his eighties. His face is slowly getting wrinkled and he looks unhappy.
"Dad, the butterfly fish is ready." Xu Zhaoming walked up to the old man and whispered.
The old man smelled the fragrance of butterfly fish and his whole body became energetic.
Meng Xiaoan handed the plate to Yichu. "Grandpa, eat well." Yichu fed the old man butterfly fish.
Xu Zhaoming and Meng Xiaoan walked out of the room.
Xu Zhaoming said: "Can you play chess?"
Meng Xiaoan said: "Yes."
"Next game."
Xu Zhaoming and Meng Xiaoan are playing chess.
After Yichu fed the old man, he also came to watch them play chess.
Yichu knew his father's chess skills and had great confidence in him.
Meng Xiaoan didn't think too much when playing chess with Xu Zhaoming, even though the opponent was a big boss of the province.
No hesitation whatsoever about what should be done.
Xu Zhaoming and Meng Xiaoan played three games of chess, and there was no winner. They both won one game, lost one game, and drew one game.
Yichu said with a hint of envy: "Meng Xiaoan, your chess skills are so good."
Meng Xiaoan said: "It's okay, maybe Uncle Xu let me do it on purpose."
Xu Zhaoming waved his hand and said: "No, I won't let anyone play chess. Meng Xiaoan, your chess skills are very good."
Meng Xiaoan said: "Thank you."
Meng Xiaoan received a call from Lu Yanxi.
"Uncle Xu, I'm going back first."
"I'll take you out."
Xu Zhaoming sent Meng Xiaoan out and said, "You are Mr. Lu's disciple, so you are my friend, if you don't mind being friends with this man who is more than twenty years older than you."
Meng Xiaoan didn't expect that as a provincial governor, he would say such straightforward words, or at least speak some official language, but it was obviously unexpected.
Meng Xiaoan said: "Uncle Xu, I'm actually a little excited. Really, haha, that's no problem."
After Yi Chu waited for Meng Xiaoan to leave, he came to his father.
"Dad, I've rarely seen you speak such straightforward words to people." Yi Chu smiled teasingly, "Did Meng Xiaoan attract your attention so much?"
Xu Zhaoming smiled and said: "There are exceptions to people. Do you know who his disciple is?"
Yichu said: "Is he someone's son?"
Xu Zhaoming said slowly with a smile that even he didn't know what it meant: "He is Li Tanhua's son."
Yi Chucai had never heard of the name Li Tanhua.
"Ping'er, you will know later."
Yichu nodded.
………
The reason why Meng Xiaoan went to the governor's house was simply to get close to the governor if he would cause trouble in the future.
How could he be friends with Yi Chu?
He was using her, yes, and Meng Xiaoan didn't object to this at all.
Meng Xiaoan feels that when necessary, he can do a scene where the hero saves the beauty.
Meng Xiaoan has already written down Yichu's number so that he can call her if anything happens.
Meng Xiaoan looked up at the sky. Some black clouds gathered together, as if it was going to rain.
"Brother, Lei Pili is back." Xihua called.
Meng Xiaoan was very excited after hearing this: "I'm finally back. If I don't come back, I think I will act alone. Have those people been found out?"
"Brother, I still haven't found anything, but I have some clues."
"Well, let's do this first."
It would be great if Lei Pili came back. If he didn't come back, he wouldn't be able to learn the ring.
They don't dare to wear this ring, so they might as well get it back. "Thunderbolt, Lion King, just wait and see, I will give you an unexpected surprise."
Meng Xiaoan came to the training ground where his subordinates were training.
There are some talented people that Meng Xiaoan and Xihua specially selected from thousands of people.
But today, Meng Xiaoan wants to use them, and he wants them to die.
To die is somewhat tragic
But Meng Xiaoan has no way out. These people must die, and they die for themselves.
When Meng Xiaoan appeared, their instructor was a little surprised.
Because most of the time it was Xihua who came, and now Meng Xiaoan, the mastermind behind the scenes, also came, so he felt a little strange.
Meng Xiaoan asked the two hundred people to gather.
Meng Xiaoan had prepared everything and said: "I want to find ten people to do something that will definitely lead to death." He paused. "Everyone's fate is fair, I believe in you.
It was already clear when I walked in.”
The two hundred people were listening quietly.
"There are two hundred paper balls in this bottle, ten of which have the letter "a". If anyone catches it, then follow me to do something. If any of you are afraid of death, you can say now, I will not do it for you.
I force you."
Two hundred people looked at Meng Xiaoan silently.
No one spoke, and I was afraid of death, but who dared to speak.
"Okay, if you don't say anything, that's fine. Now let's catch Zhou one by one."
Two hundred people came up in batches, each holding a paper ball.
"Whoever took the letter a, come up."
Ten people came to the podium.
Meng Xiaoan glanced at them and said, "Okay, come with me."
Meng Xiaoan led them into a secret room.
The ten people lined up and stood in front of Meng Xiaoan.
"Now that there is no one left, I can tell you the truth because you have no choice, but as your eldest brother, I still want to tell you."
"Gang leader, I know you selected the ten of us to do something. Although we are afraid of death, sometimes we have to die when death is necessary."
"I will take good care of your family after you die."
"Thank you, Gang Leader."
Meng Xiaoan told them the plan.
When the ten people heard this, a trace of helplessness flashed across their faces.
Their expressions looked extremely tragic.
Meng Xiaoan looked sad. If he hadn't been weak, he wouldn't have sacrificed the lives of these people.
