48. (forty-eight)

Su Muxian's current situation is very bad, and it can even be said that he is in a dilemma. She huddled under the table, her back against the hard, cold wall, and a yellow curtain in front of her, and the voices of Lu Sheng and the other man penetrated the curtain and into her ears almost unhindered.

And the only thing she could do at this time was to hold her breath and make herself one with her surroundings as much as possible, so that the two of them would not discover their existence.

She can guarantee that if she dares to take a step out at this time, these two old men who came to the monk's temple in the middle of the night not to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but came here for a private meeting and conspired, would solve her as soon as possible, and there might even be more than one way to die.

So why did it come to be the way it is......

Su Muxian recalled what happened, and only felt that today's yellow calendar must have the words "not suitable for going out" written on it.

At that time, she had solved one of the three major emergencies in her life, and was about to go to Jiang Yuanzhong and the master of the interpretation he mentioned, but the backyard of Qiyun Temple was sparsely populated, and it was late at night, and the rows of monks' houses looked similar in the dark.

She didn't find it for a long time, and when she was in a hurry, she grabbed a little monk who happened to pass by and asked for directions, and the other party raised her hand and pointed to the void, she only took a look, and she was embarrassed to ask again and went straight to this side. I finally found such a meditation room, the door was open, and the lights were bright. She pushed the door and entered, only to find that it was empty, and saw that the wick of the oil lamp was burning for a very long time, so she couldn't help but pick it with the scissors that were placed aside, and was about to leave here, when she walked to the door, she saw two figures falling in the courtyard one after the other.

One of them wondered, "Why did this door close?" Hasn't someone been here? ”

"It's windy today, maybe it's windy." The other said lightly.

Lv Sheng!

This voice is Lu Sheng!

But hasn't he been missing for days? How did it come out here?

Su Muxian originally thought that the owner of the house was back, and was about to go out, when he heard Lu Sheng's voice, he immediately retracted his feet, and the whole person lifted the yellow drape and rolled under the table with lightning speed.

Countless questions came to her mind, but she didn't bother to pay attention to them. The heart was pounding, as if it was about to burst out of his throat at any moment.

Lu Sheng is not a good person, and Su Muxian, who has been plotted by him, knows this very well. And he and another person appeared here late at night, saying that no one would believe them if they were not plotting bad things, according to the many words that Su Muxian had read, it was speculated that if she rashly went out and broke the adultery/love between the two, she would either be threatened by them to join the gang or be killed.

Unfortunately, judging from the knowledge she had only had with Lu Sheng, the latter was far more likely than the former.

After all, only the dead can keep the secret forever.

Su Muxian took a deep breath, stabilized his mind and slowly calmed down. While she persuaded herself to calm down, Lu Sheng and his accomplices also entered the meditation room.

The Zen room is much more empty than the average living room, and there is nothing unusual about it, except for a Buddha statue enshrined on a square table.

The square table was not high, and there were bright yellow curtains hanging all around, but it was not too easy to accommodate one person, so Lu Sheng only glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention to it.

The men who accompanied him were about forty or fifty years old, dressed in vermilion pine and crane robes, and their well-maintained faces showed the majesty of a perennial high-ranking position. If someone who is familiar with martial arts affairs is here, they can recognize him at a glance as the leader of the martial arts alliance of the mighty rivers and lakes. But at this time, he frowned thickly, his face was full of sadness, and he didn't have the high-spirited appearance he usually had at all.

"Brother Alliance, please take a seat." Lu Sheng said politely.

"Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite."

As he spoke, the alliance leader raised his hand and threw out a copper coin, directly extinguishing the candle on the table.

"It's better to be dark, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"It's still the alliance leader who thinks about it." Lu Sheng said lukewarmly, and he couldn't tell if it was a compliment.

He touched his long beard and said slowly, "I wonder what the alliance leader is looking for me today?" ”

Let's get to the point.

Su Muxian was also distracted when she hid under the table, and listened attentively to the corner.

"The saint is seriously ill, I'm afraid I won't survive fifteen!" The alliance leader said in a low voice, but it was like a thunderclap on the ground, which shocked Su Muxian and Lu Sheng.

"W-How is this possible?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice of disbelief.

"It's true, it's true. I heard that the palace has already begun to draft the edict. The alliance leader's voice suddenly deepened, faintly like a seductive ghost, "When the crown prince takes the throne, you and I will have no chance to implement my plan even if we want to." ”

Lu Sheng didn't speak again at this time, and was silent for a while before he asked, "So, the action is going to be advanced?" ”

"It must be advanced, who knew that the saint's condition deteriorated so quickly, I thought he would be able to last at least another half a year, but now there is no way."

"Although the crown prince does not hold great power, there are many powerful ministers and generals behind him. If he succeeds to the throne and has a solid foundation, you and I will no longer be able to take advantage of the chaos. Only now, when the situation has not yet been settled, and several princes have their own plans, can we succeed from it. ”

Lu Sheng slowly shook his head and said, "It's still not very safe." ”

He analyzed them one by one: "Although the Jianghu people in your hands are all strong in martial arts, their discipline is extremely poor, and they cannot be compared with the forbidden army in the capital. And the rest of the people may not all be willing to surrender to you, and a few sects are just doing superficial work, and it is very likely that they will turn against you when they really take action. ”

"Moreover, now that it is the end of the year, all the princes, royal relatives and relatives are gathered in the capital, and guards are indispensable. Not to mention that King Huo, who is known as the God of War of Great Zhao, is also there, it's not that I belittle myself, our group of people is just a rabble, how can we compare with the well-trained Great Zhao soldiers? ”

After he finished speaking, the alliance leader was silent for a moment, and soon laughed slowly in the darkness again.

"It's really reassuring to talk to Brother Lu, and if you think about it so thoroughly, it also makes me more convinced of you as an ally." He looked at Lu Sheng, his eyes were bright in the dark, and said, "Don't worry about what Brother Lu said, I also have a back hand in the capital." When he starts to act, he will be able to kill the Imperial City Forbidden Army by surprise! ”

He has a backhand......

Hearing an inside story that he had never heard of before, Lu Sheng couldn't help frowning, and muttered in his heart.

No matter how much he and this group of Jianghu people call themselves brothers and sisters, and they form alliances with each other, they are only driven by interests, but in fact, they are in their own camps behind them. Don't look at the good talk now, I'm afraid that the other party is playing a trick of using the remnants of the former dynasty headed by him as guns and making a trick of throwing stones to ask for directions.

This is also what Lu Sheng is most worried about.

He was vigilant in his heart, but he asked casually: "I don't know what the alliance leader's brother is?" ”

"This ......," the alliance leader smiled slightly, "I can't say it, I really can't say it." ”

Just as Lu Sheng was secretly wary of him, he was also secretly wary of these so-called remnants of the former dynasty. The relationship between the big guys is not good enough to confess to each other.

As soon as the words changed, he continued: "As for the King Huo mentioned by Brother Lu......

He sneered and said, "Now that he is half a waste, it is not easy to barely attend the palace banquet, how can it affect our plans?" ”

King Huo? Huo Fei's father of the little fat man?

Something happened to him?

Because of the little fat man, Su Muxian also knew something about King Huo, and when she heard Lu Sheng and the others talk about King Huo's injury, she immediately pricked up her ears and eavesdropped carefully.

"King Huo's name as the God of War is well-deserved, everyone knows it, I don't know how Brother Tai ......," Lu Sheng asked tactfully.

"King Huo, no matter how powerful he is, he is not completely without weaknesses, our people have captured his son...... What people, get out of here! ”

In the middle of his words, he suddenly raised his voice, and threw five copper coins under the square table with his fingers in his hands, and his body changed to pounce, and when he was about to lift the curtain, a gray long-tailed mouse was frightened, squeaked and jumped out from under the table, and ran to the corner of the room.

"It's just a mouse."

Lu Sheng lit the oil lamp as he spoke.

He was vigilant in his heart, but he asked casually: "I don't know what the alliance leader's brother is?" ”

"This ......," the alliance leader smiled slightly, "I can't say it, I really can't say it." ”

Lu Sheng lit the oil lamp as he spoke.
