Chapter 1086 - Not One, but a Group
Tian Heng moved to Lu Shanmin's side, grinning in pain all over his body.
"This is the gap between me and you, although I have been fed by masters since I was a child, and I have been sent to the Middle East by my family to experience, but there is still a distance from the real test of life and death, it was okay before, as the realm gradually climbs, the space for progress is becoming more and more limited."
Lu Shanmin said lightly: "You are a golden branch and jade leaf who has been cultivated as the successor of the family, how can the Tian family let you face real life and death."
Tian Heng nodded and sighed, "So I'm quite envious of you."
"Envy me"? Lu Shanmin smiled as if he had heard a very funny joke.
"Isn't it funny?" Tian Heng asked solemnly, "Martial arts climbing, you have more life and death dangers than me, but you also have more opportunities to sharpen than me."
Lu Shanmin shook his head with a smile, "What you say sounds like a rich boy who eats big fish and meat all day long, envying a poor child who only has a few green leaves in a bowl." said and quipped: "It's not like, you are".
Tian Heng frowned, "I understand what you mean, but I'm also a martial artist."
Lu Shanmin said lightly: "You haven't really faced a desperate situation, that kind of helplessness, that kind of struggle, that kind of fear, people who have not experienced it, you will never be able to understand it."
Tian Heng savored the three words "helplessness, struggle, and fear", quietly perceiving the feeling of the three words, and said lightly after a long time: "You are right, I can only understand it literally, I can't imagine that feeling, but I really want to experience it."
"Have you ever heard of a sentence?" Lu Shanmin asked.
"What words"?
"If you can be happy and stable, who wants to be displaced. Do you think what I'm going through is what I want to go through?"
Tian Heng was stunned for a moment, and said with some disappointment. "Indeed, the so-called grinding must be forced, and what you take the initiative may not be able to achieve the desired effect."
Lu Shanmin gently patted Tian Heng's shoulder, "Don't be too disappointed, what your family needs is a person who can take charge of the family, not a peerless master at the peak of martial arts, your current martial arts achievements are enough."
Tian Heng's red and swollen eyelids opened as much as possible, revealing a firm look, "One day on the martial arts, a lifetime against the current, Lu Shanmin, you are dusting my mood again, you have bad intentions."
Lu Shanmin looked at Tian Heng and didn't look like he was joking, only to realize that his unintentional words just now had caused Tian Heng to be dissatisfied. smiled and said, "Don't be angry, you don't look like you are in a dusty state of mind at all."
Tian Heng sighed, "You are Lu Chenlong's son, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you in my life."
Lu Shanmin frowned, and didn't dwell on this question anymore, "Everyone has their own martial arts persistence and understanding, the real master still lies in taking a path that suits him best, when it comes to our realm, no one's guidance is useless, in the final analysis, it is useless to get yourself, and it is useless to talk about it."
After a pause, "You didn't call me today because you just wanted to talk to me about martial arts."
Tian Heng looked at Lu Shanmin in a daze, gradually strengthened his confidence again, and said lightly: "Your performance today really surprised me, originally I thought that even if you didn't break out on the spot, at least you would treat Wu Cunrong."
Ignore it".
"There are no surprises, people always grow. Don't forget that I'm also a businessman, and businessmen often act against their hearts, and I'm just one step closer to being a good businessman."
"If it were your father, I think he would beat Wu Cunrong on the spot."
"I'm not him".
Tian Heng nodded, "Sometimes I think you are very similar to your father, and sometimes I feel that you are not like him at all."
"A good thing or a bad thing?" Lu Shanmin asked with a smile.
Tian Heng shook his head, "I don't know, I admire people like your father, but after all, he didn't get a good result."
"Actually, I'm the same as my father", Lu Shanmin said lightly: "I really wanted to beat him when I first saw Wu Cunrong, and when I drank with him, I was so disgusted that I wanted to vomit, the difference is that I couldn't help but vomit."
Tian Heng smiled, "This is also what I admire about you, although it is a little less heroic."
Lu Shanmin glanced at Tian Heng, for this defeated general, now facing him is more confident than facing him in the past, this is the confidence in the bones brought by strength.
"I guess you should explain." Lu Shanmin squinted and looked down at Tian Heng.
Tian Heng did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction with Lu Shanmin's tone and expression, there is no first, no second, aside from others, in the face of the strong, he can calmly deal with it.
"Don't you think I'm helping you"?
"The boldness and uprightness of martial arts masters only exist in pure martial arts, you and I are not pure martial artists, even I am not a completely honest person, and you may not be able to treat others with yourself."
Tian Heng smiled and said lightly: "You should know that in Tianjing, I can't guarantee what hasn't happened, as long as something has happened, as long as I want to pay attention, a family like ours is easy to know clearly." In fact, on the night of the Nanshan dance, not only the Tian family, but many people noticed what happened to you that night."
Saying apologetically, he said, "I think you should be able to understand why I didn't help you."
"You want to say that the friendship of a gentleman is not about the form, but about the heart."
Tian Heng nodded, "When it comes to the affairs of the major families in Tianjing, no matter how small a matter is, it is likely to become a big thing, and the reason why everyone can maintain a state of harmony for a long time is to try to refrain from participating in each other's affairs, which is already everyone's tacit understanding." So it's impossible for not only me, but anyone at the prom to come to your aid."
Tian Heng rubbed his cheeks, and then said: "So I invited Wu Cunrong to come today, I want to make amends, if you want to mix in Tianjing, some grudges can only be resolved but not settled, this does not mean that you can swallow your anger, this is the rule of the game, not only you, everyone must abide by it."
Lu Shanmin looked at Tian Heng with half-squinted eyes and did not speak.
Tian Heng smiled, "Of course, since I opened my mouth to invite Wu Cunrong, it was also based on understanding the real situation before, and analyzing that the Wu family also has the meaning of reconciliation."
Lu Shanmin said lightly: "I'm not interested in these things."
Tian Heng's brows furrowed slightly, and the gym fell silent.
After a long time, Tian Heng said lightly: "Let me tell you the truth, the reason why I am interested in you is not only because you are Lu Chenlong's son, but also because the Tian family is also paying attention to the shadow matter."
"Why?" Lu Shanmin asked, turning his head.
Tian Heng shook his head, "As for the specific reason, I don't know, this is what my grandfather and father told me."
Lu Shanmin stared at Tian Heng in a daze, wanting to see something from his expression.
Tian Heng calmly faced Lu Shanmin's gaze and said lightly: "I didn't lie to you."
After watching it for a long time, Lu Shanmin turned his head and said lightly: "Your face is very good for disguise, even if you have a lying expression, you can't see it."
Tian Heng subconsciously touched his cheeks, he didn't get angry at Lu Shanmin's ridicule, he looked at Lu Shanmin just like Lu Shanmin looked at him before, "You have been chasing the shadow for so long, and you haven't found any clues"?
"Didn't you just say that as long as something happened, as long as the Tian family wanted to know? I also want to ask you, what clues have you found?"
Tian Heng looked at Lu Shanmin for a long time, but did not find that Lu Shanmin had the slightest abnormal expression.
"It's different, after all, it's a risky thing, and the Tian family didn't do their best to investigate."
"So you also want to use me as bait to find out what's going on at the lowest cost"?
Tian Heng smiled awkwardly, Lu Shanmin's words can be said to be straight to the essence, this is indeed the plan of the Tian family.
Lu Shanmin smiled, "When it comes to doing business, compared with you big capitalists, I am really not half a star."
Tian Heng said lightly: "No matter what, this does not conflict with your goal, you also need to rely on external forces, although it may not be of much use to you."
Lu Shanmin rubbed his legs, "Wu Cunrong is willing to come today, and the purpose is the same as your Tian family."
Tian Heng nodded, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, I think it should be like this."
Lu Shanmin glanced at Tian Heng, "Bringing Wu Cunrong in the presence of Lu Songtao and Wei Wuxian, you should also have the meaning of hinting to the Lu family and the Wei family, you, a martial arts master, have a finer mind than a woman."
Tian Heng didn't deny it, "You can see that it's not worse than me." Said lightly: "Although Lu Songtao and Wei Wuxian are not the most influential people in the family, they are undoubtedly the most favored people, don't underestimate the favored people, their influence is greater than that of some people who are in real power at critical moments." The two of them are really friends with you, and after learning about you and the Wu family, they must be very concerned about your safety at this moment. It may be able to play a key role at a critical moment. ”
Lu Shanmin looked down at Tian Heng, who was half-paralyzed on the ground, "No wonder you have no friends!"
Tian Heng didn't care, and said lightly: "People like me will not be born with any friends, not only me, Han Chengxuan of the Han family, Wu Cunrong of the Wu family, Wei Ting of the Wei family, including Nalan Zijian of the Nalan family, are destined not to have friends who really make friends."
"It's too cold in the heights, and it's lonely"?
Tian Heng continued, "It's a good thing for you to pull them into the water. Whether it's for you to deal with the shadow in the future, or to deal with Nalan Zijian, it's very beneficial."
Lu Shanmin smiled, "On the surface, they are harmonious, but in fact, they have never broken their small movements with each other, and they are really the same everywhere."
Suddenly, an idea popped up inexplicably in Lu Shanmin's mind, and now he has become a pawn in the competition for the interests of various forces, back then, whether his father was the same, if so, then the enemies behind this may be far more than one, but a group.
