According to Feng Fang's identity, he naturally would not take Xu Ji to the Hero Building and other places, so the somewhat antique building in front of him must be the extremely famous Hero Building where the powerful came.

The two stone carvings symbolizing auspiciousness outside the door of the Hero Building are extremely expressive, but Xu Ji didn't take a closer look, because someone in the restaurant has already greeted him, this is a young man who looks less than thirty, with short hair under his chin, and his eyes are flashing with the essence of a merchant and the sharpness of a first-line martial artist.

"Captain Feng's high promotion Xishi has not come to congratulate him yet, and he doesn't want the captain to come in person, how is it arranged today?" The young man in front of him looked like a businessman who was flattering, but Xu Ji could see that this was just a pretentious attitude, and Shi A had no awe of Feng Fang. However, Feng Fang was afraid that he didn't see this, but he said to Shi A with a smug face: "Today's protagonist is not me, Shopkeeper Shi, do you know that the distinguished guest has come to the door?" As he spoke, he stepped back and let Xu Ji stand in front.

Shi A was surprised and said, "Forgive Shi A's clumsiness, didn't you ask this little brother?" When he said this, he seemed to be asking Feng Fang again, but Shi A kept looking at Xu Ji, obviously Feng Fang's words made Shi A pay attention to this young man who had been following Feng Fang and seemed to be Feng Fang's junior.

Feng Fang smiled at this time: "Shopkeeper Shi might as well guess, I can't guess it." After that, he stopped talking and walked into the Hero Building to find the little guy and ask for a seat upstairs, Xu Ji naturally followed Feng Fang into the Hero Building. Shi A's face behind him was already solemn at this time, where was there still the previous flattery, seeing Feng Fang and Xu Ji go upstairs, he beckoned to the little guy at the counter and said, "Go find the teacher and ask, what are the big events in Luoyang recently." ”

The little guy was stunned for a moment and then replied, "Shopkeeper." Isn't the only big thing in Luoyang City recently the new army in Xiyuan? Shi A frowned when he heard this, and asked, "I returned from Liaodong yesterday." How do you know this, you can tell me in detail. "The little guy will talk about the things before and after. Shi Ah only then knew why Luoyang City was so turbulent, and Xu Ji's identity didn't need to be guessed anymore, it was obviously the new colt who had been trying to curry favor with Lu recently.

Of course, Shi Ah knew what Xu Ji's identity meant, but at this time, what Shi Ah was most curious about was why this rumored new colt who seemed to have no bad deeds would get mixed up with Feng Fang, a notorious guy, it seemed that it was completely impossible for the two to have a common language, and there were only two explanations for this situation, either Xu Ji was just a fame and reputation fisherman, but looking at the age of this young man, Shi A immediately denied his speculation. Then the only possibility left is to explain, that Feng Fang needs Xu Ji, in other words, Xu Ji wants to use Feng Fang, and Feng Fang probably hasn't realized that he has been used by such a teenager. Thinking of this, Shi A couldn't help but smile playfully, he had already roughly guessed Xu Ji's intention to come to the Hero Building, but why did Xu Ji think that he would work for him?

With such doubts, Shi A personally sent the wine and food to the private room where Feng Fang and Xu Ji were. At this time, Shi A's eyes when he looked at Xu Ji were no longer irrelevant, this new colt sat in his current position at this age, not to mention scheming, ability is definitely not a problem. And the scheming of the city government can be seen from the fact that he summoned Feng Fang, and he is not a scheming person. Shi A hadn't seen such a teenager for a long time, so he was extremely curious about Xu Ji.

And Xu Ji is also quite curious about Shi A's experience, it is said that the shopkeeper of the Hero Building was still an orphan and grew up under the care of Wang Yue. And Wang Yue has no children and no daughters, Shi A is almost his son, but such a person who Wang Yue has great hopes for shows no interest in officialdom. This seems to be a bit contradictory, and there must be some untold stories in it. Xu Ji's intuition told him that learning about this might help him take control of the Hero Building, or rather. As long as you can subdue Shi A, this will not be a problem.

It's just that where to start, Xu Ji hasn't found the right time yet, and this matter is not suitable for Feng Fang on the side, so he has any communication with Shi A on this matter, but from the changes in Shi A's expression before and after, Xu Ji can see that the meaning of himself in his eyes is different, of course, this is not good or bad, but it is obviously good for Xu Ji's intervention in the future.

Shi Ah didn't stay long, he bowed back after the wine and food were served, but when he left, he gave Xu Ji a glass. Of course, Feng Fang wouldn't notice that Shi Ah also stuffed a note to Xu Ji when he handed Xu Ji the cup of wine. Xu Ji smiled meaningfully after taking the wine cup, obviously Shi A has something to say to himself alone, as for what Shi A wants to say Xu Ji doesn't care very much, all he needs is to intervene in it, if he can place the ghost in the hero building, he doesn't have to subdue Shi A, and the effect of forcing him to compromise with himself is actually the same, so Xu Ji also seems very calm.

Originally, the banquet was not the point, after the three rounds of drinking, Xu Ji said that he still had some personal matters to deal with, and motioned Feng Fang to go back to the camp first, Feng Fang was of course extremely curious, but it was not good for him to oppose it in person, so he took his leave, of course, this account must be recorded in his Feng Fang's name, and Feng Fang did not dare to let Xu Ji come to entertain him.

And after Feng Fang's car drove away, Xu Ji still didn't move, and it didn't take long for Shi Ah to come unexpectedly. Xu Ji saw Shi A enter the door, raised the wine cup in his hand, and toasted from afar, and said, "Wen Lie respects Shi as the shopkeeper with a glass." Shi A's eyelids jumped, and then he smiled and arched his hand: "Shi A is a grass person, I'm afraid I can't afford to be such a courtesy." This makes it clear that not drinking this glass of wine can be regarded as a temptation in a certain sense by Shi A. And Xu Ji just smiled indifferently, put down the wine cup in his hand and said, "Why does Shopkeeper Shi want Wen Lie to stay?" Although Xu Ji had a smile on his face, the coldness in his words was not concealed at all.

Shi A's face stiffened and he was almost about to take out the short knife hidden in his waist, of course, it was not that Shi A ate the ambition leopard and wanted to assassinate Xu Ji, but the faint killing intent revealed in the coldness of Xu Ji's words gave Shi A huge pressure. After all, Shi A eats food in the rivers and lakes, and it is normal to carry a self-defense blade with him, and because he is a Jianghu person, his sensitivity to these breaths is far beyond ordinary people, at least at that moment, Xu Ji was really murderous to himself, although Xu Ji soon retracted his murderous intention. But at that moment, it was a real killing intent, Shi A never thought that such a young man would have such a strong killing intent.

He rubbed his somewhat dry lips and said, "Why did the colt have murderous intentions?" Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "Why did Shopkeeper Shi leave Wen Lie?" Could it be that this Hero Building is really just an ordinary restaurant? Shi Ah smiled bitterly when he heard this. Xu Ji is right, the hero building can stand tall in Luoyang, and naturally it can't rely on the so-called fair and honest means. The methods of some invisible people are also normal, but even if Shi A is given a hundred dares, he doesn't dare to do anything to Xu Ji, but Xu Ji is now determined that he can't argue with this.

So Shi A had to pick up a glass of wine from the table and said to Xu Ji: "In this case, Shi A will make amends to the horse." After saying that, he drank all the wine in the cup, but Xu Ji smiled but did not speak. Shi A put down the wine cup in his hand and said: "Presumably, the horse must have a plan for this trip, if it is used by Shi A, Shi A will never shirk it." Shi A was also helpless when he said this, he originally just wanted to probe Xu Ji's tone, but he didn't expect Xu Ji to be so tricky. When they met, they had the upper hand, and now they had no way to do anything, and now Xu Ji had a reason to hold his head, and Shi A had to temporarily bow his head.

Yes, Shi Ah is just temporarily bowing his head, he has been running the Hero Building in Luoyang for many years, how can he admit it so simply. Xu Ji obviously knew this, so he just waved his hand and said, "Why should Shopkeeper Shi be like this, Wen Lie is just joking." The businessmen at this time had some means of taking care of the home, and Xu Ji was just a captain in the West Garden, so he couldn't manage these. Now that Shopkeeper Shi has apologized. How about we sit down and get down to business? After saying this, Shi A couldn't help but glance at Xu Ji, how could the other party not be able to make an inch of progress after saying those words? Xu Ji's hand is not beautiful to play, but it is stuck in the right position, and now it is the horse that is giving himself face. If you insist on it, you will kill yourself.

So Shi A also took the opportunity to sit opposite Xu Ji, poured wine and said, "Shi A returned from Liaodong yesterday. It is because I don't know much about the recent events in Luoyang, and I don't know the identity of the horse. Please forgive me. "Shi Ah is admitting it, now let's explain the handle that may have been caught by Xu Ji before, he Shi Ah has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and these little things may cause far more terrible than imagined. And Xu Ji's reaction to this was just to wave his hand and say that it was okay, obviously waiting for Shi Ah to explain that he wanted him to stay.

Of course, Shi A also knew what Lu Dao Xu Ji was waiting for, so he began to explain without being verbose: "Shi Ah asked the little maid to know the identity of the concubine, and he knew that Shi A had made a big mistake, and he asked the concubine to stay here to make amends." Moreover, the family teacher is a swordsmanship teacher in the palace, and he has also taught Shi A to know the etiquette, but he also hopes that the horse will forgive the offense. Xu Ji looked at Shi Ah playfully when he heard this: "If this is the case, how is Shopkeeper Shi going to compensate?" ”

Shi A couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Xu Ji's appearance, he was really made passive by his own stinky chess now, he was afraid that Xu Ji would find trouble with his own grudge, but now it seems that no matter whether Xu Ji hates himself or not, he is afraid that this trouble is nowhere to hide. Thinking of this, Shi Ah raised his eyes and looked at Xu Ji and said, "It depends on what the horse wants." ”

Shi A's words are not bold, the meaning of these words can be understood as he Shi A gives everything, Xu Ji is already a high power, what you want can naturally ask Liu Hong, and the meaning of Shi A's words can also be understood that Xu Ji wants the throne, and he can also take it for Xu Ji?

Of course, Xu Ji is not so boring, this handle is also specious to put it bluntly, these things are not what Xu Ji wants at all, so Xu Ji chuckled: "Don't worry, I want to ask Shopkeeper Shi a few things, and then talk about making amends after asking these questions." What else could Shi Ah do, he could only smile and nod bitterly.

Xu Ji was not in a hurry, and after taking care of himself and eating some food, he slowly spoke: "What is the matter with Shopkeeper Shi founding the Hero Building?" Shi A was shocked when he heard this question, Xu Ji's words seemed to mean something else, but it was obviously not a wise move to talk nonsense with this kind of smart person, Xu Ji's current status, what he said was definitely more effective than what he said, once he said something, he was afraid that he would be speechless, but he was afraid that he would be debunked by Xu Ji on the spot, so after thinking about it, Shi A decided to answer truthfully: "The family teacher has been pinning his hopes on the career for many years, but he has no way, and the hero building was actually created by the family teacher before it was handed over to me to take care of." ”

Xu Ji frowned when he heard this, he could naturally tell whether this was true or false. And the reason why his expression changed was because he thought it was quite interesting, and Wang Yue actually had such an idea to join the official career. This inevitably makes people look down on Wang Yue's character, although Xu Ji can understand it. But that doesn't mean he agrees with it. However, at this time, Xu Ji didn't want to have any evaluation of Wang Yue, nodded and then said, "In this way, I know the way." So the second question, how much information about Luoyang's power does Shopkeeper Shi have in his hands now? As soon as Shi A heard this, he immediately understood Xu Ji's intentions, feeling that this master didn't care about himself and his master at all, Xu Ji was only afraid that it was the place of the Hero Building, or some of the uses brought by this signboard. But Shi A also knew that he understood that these were useless, and this couldn't stop Xu Ji at all. So he could only answer truthfully: "The movements of the big and small families in Luoyang can probably be mastered. ”

Xu Ji secretly rejoiced in his heart when he heard this, it seemed that he might not need to rebuild the shadow in Luoyang, and it was enough to borrow the news of the Hero Building directly. It's just that the problem now has become so convincing Shi A, or forcing Shi A to compromise.

Shi A finally completely figured out Xu Ji's purpose at this time, this is not a big plan for the concubine, he only had such a plan in Luoyang for half a month, so it can be seen that the layout of this concubine is a bit big, and who this bureau is for Shi A is not curious, because it has nothing to do with him, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with it, the so-called tiger skin. It's really hard to say whether people count as tigers or tigers as people. And this colt is obviously not a good character, he can control himself so easily, although it is Shi A's own mistake, but Xu Ji's grasp of people's hearts should not be underestimated.

"I'm done with my question. Presumably Shopkeeper Shi also knows what Wen Lie is trying to do, right? The smile on Xu Ji's face brought Shi A a lesson that was not like a spring breeze, but a cold wind like a harsh winter, he didn't know what Xu Ji was trying to do, but it was definitely not a safe thing. Xu Ji's plan Shi Ah didn't need to know the way, but the problem now was that he might be forced to be implicated. This is definitely not something to be happy about for Shi Ah.

At this time, Shi Ah swallowed his saliva again, and his throat was a little dry: "Donkey." Can you tell Shi Ah why this is so? Shi A didn't have much hope at this time, Xu Ji might be nothing in the eyes of others, but Shi A could see at a glance that this was a person who would never give up until he reached his goal, so he just asked with the mentality of wanting to die.

And Xu Ji's face was calm and he said two words: "Yuan Shao! ”

Shi A changed color again, he knows more about what Yuan Shao is than Xu Ji, this person is not only the leader of the next generation of the Yuan family, but also the faint leader of the party, not to mention this, the Yuan family's power in Runan can also be put aside, even in this huge Luoyang, there are countless protégés of the Yuan family, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult it is for such a person to deal with him, and Shi A is absolutely unwilling to provoke this guy.

"Can you tell Shi Ah why he wants to deal with Yuan Benchu?" Although Shi A's expression can still remain calm, the cold sweat on his forehead has betrayed him, after all, he is not a careless ranger, Shi A does not have so much pride.

Xu Ji smiled and said: "I'm not afraid to tell me bluntly, Yuan Benchu wanted to squeeze me out of the West Garden and take sole control of the army, the West Garden was a newly formed army under His Majesty that only obeyed his orders, and Yuan Shao served for He Jin earlier." When I say this, has Shopkeeper Shi ever understood? ”

Shi Ah naturally understood what he said, it was nothing more than a matter of the royal family fighting for power and profit, of course, this was analyzed from what Xu Ji said, in fact, the real situation was much more serious than this. Yuan Shao is really a person who enters? This Xu Ji didn't believe it, so what was Yuan Shao trying to seize the military power of Xiyuan? The only reasonable explanation is to support the army and respect himself, at that time He Jin will naturally want to curry favor with him, and Liu Hong will have to rely on him, and at that time, he Yuan Shao will naturally sit on the ground and raise the price.

And once things change, Yuan Shao, who has the Xiyuan Army in his hands, can also take advantage of the situation. The so-called change in things is nothing more than that if Liu Hong has something long, he has three strengths and two weaknesses, and Yuan Shao, who supports the army and respects himself, may even take advantage of the situation to usurp the throne. And Xu Ji was sure that Yuan Shao's idea was like this.

Of course, Xu Ji can not care, but that was when he first arrived in Luoyang, but now it is different, now he has become a thorn in Yuan Shao's side as a military captain in Xiyuanxia, if he does not resist, he can only lose his official position and military power, and more importantly, he is Yining's fiancé, and the father of his wife who has not passed through the door has this hidden danger, and Xu Ji cannot abandon it.

What's more, now that his fortune and misfortune have been tied to the royal family, although he is not willing to accept this result, since he can no longer change it, Xu Ji can only accept it. Once Yuan Shao succeeds, even the identity of the colt will not be able to save Xu Ji's life, he has too many enemies, so Xu Ji can only fight.

Of course, Xu Ji didn't say this to Shi A, he just asked Shi A a question: "Do you know what kind of identity I am now?" (To be continued......)
