Xia Shang's expression changed, and the chopsticks he was holding for the middle-aged man fell on the table.
"Has he seen through my plan?"
Although Xia Shang was calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous since he left home today. The person he wanted to plot against was a master of Chongmai. Although he didn't know what the realm of a warrior meant, he also knew that this was the one he had encountered so far.
The most powerful character.
He has traveled through time differently from others. He has no extraordinary talent, no grandfather's ring, no twin martial arts spirits. All he has is the knowledge accumulated from modern times. To deal with the man who calls himself Lu Xun, the only way to deal with this man is through wisdom and calculation.
, and the layout must be airtight! If any part of it goes wrong, you may lose your life.
This kind of threat cannot be overcome by hoping for an opportunity from heaven.
Now, the first variable appears!
The other party knows his true identity, he must have known about himself beforehand!
Xia Shang couldn't imagine why such a change came about. The only explanation was that the other party had already known his plan.
If this is the case, then you are in a desperate situation now!
Xia Shang's forehead was covered with sweat, and he almost couldn't bear to activate the mechanism hidden in his clothes.
However, Lu Xun suddenly said calmly: "I have something I want to ask my brother. That day you said you had a dream, and someone asked you in the dream, 'There is a bird that stopped in Fu, and it has not flown or sang for three years.
"What kind of bird is it?" You said, "If it doesn't fly for three years, it will fly to the sky; if it doesn't sing for three years, it will sing astonishingly." Is this true?"
Hearing this, Xia Shang's expression paused, and the tension in his body suddenly became much less tense. His mind was full of confusion, wondering why he suddenly asked this? And how did he know?
Lu Xun smiled: "Brother, I'm telling you the truth. If it hadn't been for your words that day, I'm afraid it would have been reported to the King of Hell by now."
Xia Shang was surprised again: "What do you mean by this?"
"That day, I was ordered to take your life. The young master of the Xia family at that time was just a playboy. He made his parents so angry that he forced his wife away. I felt that it was not a pity for such a person to die, so I came to take your life. But that day, I happened to be in secret.
I saw the conversation between you and Mr. Qin. The sentence "If you don't fly for three years, your flight will soar into the sky; if you don't fly for three years, your roar will be astonishing." Lu was deeply impressed. Lu respected the talented and virtuous people the most in his life.
Brother Lu admired what he said, and he also wanted to see if brother could really do something big and far-sighted as he said so boldly, so he made his own decisions and spared you for once."
"..." Xia Shang swallowed, thinking back to that day, if this person had made a sneak attack, even if he had ten lives, he would not be enough to die.
Lu Xun saw Xia Shang's nervousness, and patted Xia Shang's shoulder with a kind smile: "Brother, don't be nervous, Lu has been secretly observing brother for some time. Brother used two hats in exchange for 10,000 taels of gold, and gave up another
Money brought his beloved wife back. This time, he was regarded as a manly man. Later, he saw his brother setting up a fortune-telling stall in Yangzhou City. He just wanted to try his skills, but he never thought that what he said would cause Lu's injury.
The calculation was accurate, which made Lu somewhat admired."
Having said this, Xia Shang's worries disappeared for the most part, and he tried his best to keep calm and shook his head: "Brother Lu is serious, it's just some trivial tricks and heresy, and it's nothing compared to Brother Lu's peerless martial arts.
Mention it."
Lu Xun said seriously: "No, no, Mr. Lu is just a warrior, he only knows how to kill. But my brother is extremely resourceful and plans everything. If it weren't for his younger age, he should be called an expert hermit."
Using two hats, one white and one green, to express one's feelings is enough to show the knowledge of brothers. Although..."
"Brother, don't talk nonsense, you are going to be beheaded!"
Lu Xun laughed: "Since you dare to give it away, why do you care if others say it? King Yong is mediocre and incompetent. He came to my brother's house that day to ask my brother to help me. He never thought that he would be sent away by his brother's words and he would be unhappy.
, how can such a mind achieve great things?"
After saying so much, Xia Shang felt that there was something in Lu Xun's words!
"Brother Lu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Lu Xun's face straightened, he looked around, lowered his body, and said in a deep voice: "With the abilities of brothers, why worry about the day when they will become famous? Why don't we find a good master and conspire for great things together?"
"Um?"
"The emperor is in danger today, and the dispute between the princes has surfaced. There are seventeen princes in the emperor, and the eldest prince and the second prince have the hope of competing for the world. Mr. Lu is not talented and has the courage to ask his brothers to advise and conspire for the eldest prince Li Xin...
"
"Brother Lu, I can't say this, I can't say it!"
"Brother, I really cherish my talent. It's a pity that my brother has nowhere to put his talents to use..." Lu Xun said, suddenly realizing that he was a little excited and anxious, he quickly stopped talking and sighed softly, "Sorry,
Lu is too impatient."
After a conversation, Xia Shang's impression of this person changed greatly. Although he was a cold man, he still had the straightforwardness and sincerity of a man in the world.
If we don't stand on different sides, maybe we can really become friends...
At this time, a steaming pot of braised dog meat arrived.
The meat that was burnt golden with red oil was soft, glutinous and fragrant. You don’t need to eat it, just smelling the strong spicy aroma will make your mouth water.
After the previous conversation, the two of them were no longer so unfamiliar. They took care of each other with chopsticks and started eating.
Xia Shang couldn't eat spicy food. A piece of dog meat was so spicy that his eyes turned red. He drank two large bowls of water and couldn't get rid of it, which made Lu Xun laugh heartily.
"Sorry, the food at home is relatively light." Xia Shang said awkwardly, while taking out a package wrapped in a small handkerchief from his arms.
When I opened it, I saw several pieces of mung bean cake.
Xia Shang took a piece and took a bite: "This mung bean cake is good at relieving spicy food."
"It's too hot. Why don't you take off your clothes? What's the point of wearing a coat on a hot day?"
"I've had a cold recently, and the doctor said I have to wear heavy clothes and sweat all over to recover."
After a calm conversation, the two continued to eat the delicious food on the table.
Perhaps because he was afraid of spicy food, Xia Shang ate very little.
On the contrary, the strong taste of dog meat suited Lu Xun very well. Soon a lot of bones were placed in front of him and he drank three pots of wine.
Suddenly, Xia Shang covered his stomach: "Brother, I, I, I... I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I need to go for some relief."
Lu Xun nodded, and Xia Shang ran away quickly.
The toilet of the dog meat shop is located between a few old trees at the back. It has four walls built with bricks and stones and a shed roof. It is very simple.
Lu Xun didn't pay attention to what Xia Shang was doing. When the pot of dog meat was about to reach the bottom, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and it was also very spicy. Even after a few sips of wine, it didn't get better. He saw the table
After thinking about it for a while, I finally picked up a piece of mung bean cake. (To be continued)
