Chapter 10: I Ask You Answers
As soon as he heard that he had something for himself, Lu Pu quickly took it.
Unfold it and look at it, and there is a string of English characters written on the white cloth head:
β14:00 LuoHe hotelβγ
"I don't understand what is drawn on this, I guess he gave you a question, right? Hehe, Lord Lu, are you good friends? Why do you like to come up with strange questions? β
After reading the content on the strip of cloth, Lu Pu's face instantly turned happy.
But soon he frowned again, looked up at the sky, and felt that he was too late!
He left a sentence in his mouth, "Take a step ahead", and hurried out of the house.
He really didn't want to miss out on the invitation he had been waiting for for years.
But as soon as he took two steps, he heard a woman's anxious voice faintly behind him:
"Lord Lu, wait, wait a minute, the house...... IβWho am I looking for? β
β¦β¦
Leaving Lufu, in order to save time, Lu Pu didn't even sit in the carriage and rode all the way to the south of the city alone.
Although the Han Dynasty did not have an accurate clock, judging from the sky, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Pu left the palace, which exceeded the agreed time.
That's why he hurried slowly, for fear that the other party wouldn't be able to wait to leave, so he would have to repent and die.
Ten minutes later, Lu Pu arrived at the Luohe Inn in the south of the city, and rushed into the lobby without even leashing his horse.
If I'm not mistaken, the "LuoHe hotel" on the note should be here.
At this moment, there are six or seven tables of guests sitting in the lobby, some drinking tea and some dining.
Looking around, Lu Pu didn't see the figure of the short-haired man, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said disappointed in his heart:
Could it be that he is gone?
As the richest man in Luoyang, as soon as Lu Pu entered the door, the innkeeper recognized him and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Lu Pu, who was worried that he couldn't find anyone, pulled the shopkeeper and asked if he had seen a short-haired man in a brocade robe.
The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully after thinking about it, he had seen a lot of people wearing brocade robes, but he hadn't seen a single one with short hair.
Lu Pu, who was unwilling, asked the shopkeeper again, but the result was the same, no one had ever seen the short-haired man in his mouth.
Hearing the news, Lu Pu had to sigh, asked for a pot of tea and sat alone at the table, planning to wait and see, maybe the other party was late?
But more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the man surnamed Hua did not appear, so Lu Pu had to get up regretfully and prepare to go home.
But just about to go out, he saw a young man named Huazi coming in from outside the door, and went straight to Lu Pudao:
"Is your surname Lu?"
Although he didn't know what he meant, Lu Pu nodded.
"Someone asked me to give you a message, and he said that as long as I bring the words, you will reward me with a lot of copper plates, is it true?"
Hearing that Xiao Yuhua dared to ask Lord Lu for money in his store, the shopkeeper immediately rushed out, but was about to drive people but was stopped by Lu Pu, signaling that he was not allowed to take care of this matter.
"That's right! As long as you tell me what he said, the bag of money is yours. β
Lu Pu smiled gently, and took out a large, bulging purse from his bosom and placed it on the table.
Xiao Yuhua had never seen so much money in his life, and his eyes immediately showed indescribable joy!
Excitedly ran to the table, said "See you in the bamboo forest outside the South City Gate", picked up the purse and rushed out of the inn.
Hearing this, Lu Pu was overjoyed, rushed out of the inn with an arrow step, and hurried towards the bamboo forest outside the city.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Lu Pu came to the bamboo forest in the south of the city.
As soon as the horse was tied, he felt a cold weapon in his lower back, and a man's voice came from his ears:
"Throw the weapon away! Face down, lie on the ground! β
Although the incident happened suddenly, Lu Pu quickly guessed that the person behind him should be a man surnamed Nahua, so he said with a smile on his face:
"It's Mr. Hua, right? I'm Lu ......"
But before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his waist, and the sharp weapon had pierced his skin, which meant to go deeper:
"Shut up! Throw away the weapon! Get on the ground! If you don't, you'll be killed now! β
Hearing the other party's cold tone, no joke, coupled with the pain transmitted from his waist, Lu Pu quickly closed his mouth, and discarded the dagger in his arms as requested, and lay on the ground.
Then, the man very skillfully tied Lu Pu's hands with hemp rope, and confirmed that he could not break free, so he helped him up and sat on the ground.
Lu Pu also saw the true face of the man, this person was the short-haired man he was looking for - Huaxing.
At this moment, Hua Xing changed into a military uniform and was sitting cross-legged opposite Lu Pu. While playing with the dagger in his hand, he said expressionlessly:
"What I ask, you answer. I didn't ask, just say one more word and cut off one of your fingers, understand? β
Even though he had something to say, but seeing the other party's attitude, Lu Pu had to nod aggrievedly and show that he understood.
"Name?"
"Lu Pu, the word Baifan."
"You came up with the puzzle in the square?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"For the sake of ...... Looking for you. β
When answering questions, Lu Pu was quite cautious, just as Huaxing requested, and did not dare to say a word.
Hearing the other party say that the question was to find himself, Hua Xing looked puzzled, pondered for a moment and said:
"Why are you looking for me?"
"For the mission, of course! Team Hua, are you in ...... Test me? Speaking of this, Lu Pu's face showed puzzlement.
Regarding the "mission" that Lu Pu said, Huaxing couldn't think of it at all.
But when he heard the word "Hua Team", his heart trembled suddenly.
Although he didn't remember this title, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and as soon as he said it, he knew that he was calling himself.
"You...... Know me? β
"Of course! Not only do I know you, but we have worked together. β
"Working together?"
"That's right!"
"Where? When? β
"Before coming to the Han Dynasty, we trained together at the base. Team Hua, why are you asking this? β
Hearing this, Hua Xing just nodded slightly and did not reply.
Lu Pu's words can be regarded as confirming that they have indeed crossed over.
But he had no impression of the "base" and "training" mentioned by the other party, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked again:
"Why do we train? Who are you? And also...... What era did we come from? β
Listening to the other party's question, the more strange it became, Lu Pu's confused eyes added a little worry:
"Team Hua, are you kidding...... OrγOr do you really not remember? β
As things stand, Lu Pu's rhetoric is flawless, and it doesn't feel like he's lying.
But on the one hand, it is because Huaxing is like this, and on the other hand, it is also because of the amnesia that makes him extremely insecure.
Out of an abundance of caution, he didn't want to reveal his amnesia too soon until he figured out who they were.
Therefore, in the face of Lu Pu's inquiry, Hua Xing did not say anything, but said with a fierce face while touching the dagger:
"I ask you! Forgotten? Would you like to cut your finger to remind you? β
