Shen Lu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as if he had been caught with pigtails, "Well, where to start......

"Forget it. Xu Wenrui interrupted Shen Lu and said, "It's better not to tell me, I like the feeling of surprise." But there's one thing I have to know: How many stars are you?"

Shen Lu did not hesitate, took out the priesthood token and handed it to Xu Wenrui. When she got the sign, she was stunned.

Shen Lu seemed to have anticipated this situation, so he took the medicine bottle and began to give himself medicine.

After a long time, Xu Wenrui came to his senses, looked at Shen Lu and said, "You are a seven-star winemaker, can you make a jar of wine for me?"

She struggled for a long time, and it turned out that she wanted to talk about this.

When she was in Snowy City, this girl drank with Dugu every day, and she couldn't stop it for a long time. The wine made by four-star winemakers is so delicious, how exaggerated is Shen Lu, a seven-star winemaker?

Seeing her expectant and hungry look like she was about to drool, Shen Lu could only smile helplessly, took out a jar of Qibao Immortal Dew Wine from the storage ring and handed it to Xu Wenrui.

"I've been keeping it for you a long time ago, it's not like I haven't had time all the time. Shen Lu said, carefully put the wine jar on the table, and then introduced: "This is Qibao Xianlu wine, which uses seven kinds of morning dew from all over the world as an introduction, supplemented by the most basic five-grain fermentation. The sweetness of the dew is set off by the flavor of the wine, and the richness of the wine is set off by the dew. Hundreds of turns, thousands of times, the charm is long. It is not only distinct, but also harmonious with each other......"

Xu Wenrui snatched the wine jar with an impatient face, and without waiting for Shen Lu to finish his nonsense, he directly raised his head and poured a few big sips.

Like Baili Yiming, she only drank two or three sips of wine, and she already felt the extremely strong stamina of Qibao Xianlu Wine, and hurriedly put down the wine jar.

Originally, Xu Wenrui's mana was extremely high, and it was almost impossible to get drunk. But at this moment, her cheeks were already covered with two beautiful flushes, and her eyes seemed to become blurred.

Although she was not drunk, this faint and slightly drunk feeling also made her extremely useful, and she began to hold Shen Lu's hand and talk.

Shen Lu smiled and chatted happily with her, but he felt uncomfortable for a while.

Xu Wenrui has endured too much during this time.

Now that she has finally severed that false friendship, her father is about to be rescued, and she can finally pour out a lot of bitterness and pain that she can't tell in ordinary times through drunkenness.

By evening, Xu Wenrui was already lying on the table and falling asleep. Shen Lu called Aunt Fu, and the two helped her to the bed and lay down together, and then quietly exited the room.

Shen Lu, who breathed a sigh of relief, said to Aunt Fu: "Just let her sleep a little longer, and don't wake her up when her father comes back." She must not be able to sleep these days, right?"

Aunt Fu nodded and said, "Basically, I only sleep for one or two hours a day." If it weren't for good cultivation, the body would have collapsed a long time ago. Don't worry, uncle, I'm here to take care of it, you go to the front hall and wait for the master, he is coming back soon, I must want to see you. ”

Shen Lu smiled in surprise and said, "Aunt Fu, why are you suddenly willing to admit that I am an uncle?" ”

Aunt Fu pouted and said, "Hmph, I still think you're sick like a sick cat." But Mu Yu told me that she thought you were quite familiar, and you shouldn't look like a bad person. Now that you take care of Xiaorui so meticulously, I won't trouble you for the time being. ”

"Ah, Miss Liu said I was familiar? Actually, I thought she was a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her. ”

Aunt Fu said very vigilantly: "Whether you are familiar or not, don't mention these things in front of her." If she kept thinking about her previous memories, she would have died of pain. I'd rather she didn't know anything now than being tossed to death by herself. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lu naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He absentmindedly returned to the antechamber, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a voice inside, "You're finally here." ”

Just as he was sitting, a middle-aged man with a somewhat haggard face was looking at Shen Lu with a smile.

Although he is middle-aged, he can still see the elegant and handsome temperament between his eyebrows. From the facial features that are three points similar to Xu Wenrui, it can be easily deduced that he is Xu Yuanwei.

Shen Lu bowed over and said, "Uncle Xu, I haven't seen you for many years." ”

"Well, it's been a long time. Xu Yuanwei helped Shen Lu get up, let him sit in the seat next to him, and then said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to do my uncle a favor, and I wanted to give my uncle a small gift." I didn't know that I was involved in the power struggle between the two princes, but I still want you to come here to save me. Hey, this time it's a shame on the old face. ”

Although Xu Yuanwei said it very self-deprecatingly, whether it was his tone or expression, he had a very indifferent and chic look, as if he didn't care about all this.

Generally speaking, this kind of elder with extremely high status is rescued by a junior like Shen Lu, and there will definitely be many complex emotions. Such as shame, insecurity, and so on.

But Xu Yuanwei, an old handsome guy, seemed to say something very commonplace, and he didn't feel any pressure to laugh at himself, as if he was ...... It was as if it were all within his calculations.

Shen Lu clearly grasped this subtle emotion, and instantly felt that the Xu Yuanwei in front of him was not simple, so he asked tentatively: "Uncle Xu, it is not me who saved you, but the second prince." He claims to respect me so much that he can keep you innocent. But the relationship between me and him is not as good as that. ”

"Oh, since it's not a good relationship, it's a bad relationship. ”

Xu Yuanwei touched his chin thoughtfully, and then said to Shen Lu: "He created this illusion of wooing you, could it be that he did it for others to see? If this is the case, then things will become interesting." ”

Sure enough, as Shen Lu expected, Xu Yuanwei was an extremely smart person. As long as he revealed a little bit of information, he could guess many details, which made Shen Lu have to admire.

At this time, Shen Lu was isolated and helpless, if he continued to be so deadlocked, he would be killed by the second prince sooner or later.

The top priority now is to find some trusted allies and form a force strong enough to fight against the second prince.

In Changge City, only Xu Yuanwei is trustworthy. After all, he is his father's best friend and his future father-in-law. Who can you believe if you don't believe him?

So Shen Lu roughly said what happened to him, including the fact that he had many treasures.

At the end, Shen Lu summed it up and said, "Uncle Xu, due to some special reasons, I can't reveal the specific origin of these treasures on my body. But it was precisely because of these treasures that I was targeted by the second prince. Now I don't have the ability to deal with the second prince, and I don't dare to escape. If you don't do anything, you can only sit and wait, so I would like to ask Uncle Xu for advice and help me think of a way. ”

Xu Yuanwei stared at Shen Lu for a long time, then suddenly laughed twice, patted Shen Lu on the shoulder and said, "It's too similar, it's too similar." ”

"Huh, like what?" Shen Lu asked suspiciously.

"You and your father, both in personality and in the way of doing things, are exactly the same. Xu Yuanwei showed a look of reminiscence, and said: "Your father's identity is mysterious, his words and deeds are even more mysterious, and he can often do things that surprise everyone. I, Xu Yuanwei, am also a proud and conceited person, there are not many people who are convinced in this life, but your father will always be in the first place. ”

Seeing Xu Yuanwei praising his father so much, Shen Lu was a little unhappy, and said with a little disdain: "He is really so powerful, and he will not abandon me." His house was occupied by outsiders, and his identity as the city lord was also robbed, and I had to go and snatch it back for him. ”

Xu Yuanwei smiled faintly and did not refute Shen Lu, but said, "A year ago, your father came here to find me once and talked to me about a lot of things. He mentioned you, do you know what he said at the time?"

Shen Lu shook his head, but his heart couldn't help beating suddenly.

He said at the time: Old Xu, you wait and see. In less than a year, my son will be able to sit in the position of the city lord of Snowy City, and then your daughter will be the city lord's wife, how majestic. Don't think how bad the identity of the city lord of Manxue City is, in the future, my son will make this city famous throughout the Wanfa Continent. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lu was even more shocked and couldn't attach.

Because Shen Lu did have this idea, and even said similar things to Fang Yourong and others.

But these ideas are only qualified to be conceived after you have the system in your own hands. A year ago, I hadn't even experienced soul piercing.

Originally, Shen Lu was a person who was not very courageous, and he hid in Baili Sect just to save his life.

Why did his father conclude at that time that he would definitely do something great in the future?

Thinking that the reason why he was able to get the system was entirely because of the ancient jade left by his father, Shen Lu was even more puzzled.

What kind of man was my father, and why didn't he seem to know everything, but he didn't want to come out to see him?

Xu Yuanwei seemed to guess Shen Lu's thoughts, and said to him: "What your father is thinking in his head, maybe only you can guess." The reason why he is avoiding you may be that he feels that the time is not yet ripe. In the future, there will always be a day when your father and son will be reunited, and many of the doubts in your mind should be explained. ”

Shen Lu nodded seriously and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu." I did think about it before, and I kept digging into the horns. But now that I think about it, my dad should really have his own troubles. ”

Xu Yuanwei patted his head with a smile, and then said, "Look at me, I was talking about business, but I talked to you about everyday things." You just said that you want to deal with the second prince, but you don't know how to start, right? In fact, in this Changge City, it is not his Baili family that is the only one. There are also some invisible forces that can cause a lot of shock to the royal family. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"The first one, of course, is the Priesthood. Although the clergy guild has always declared that it does not participate in power struggles, this kind of high-sounding rhetoric is just that. When the critical moment comes, who can escape from this maelstrom of power? Since they can't escape, don't let them become enemies, understand?"
