Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Big Man

"I said, if you don't go to your beauty, what are you doing with me?"

Seeing Liang Tongfang following him all the way, Xu Rui asked jokingly.

Liang Tongfang was slightly stunned, he was a hearty person, and when he heard Xu Rui say this, he no longer twisted, and bowed his hand slightly to Xu Rui, and happily knocked on the door of the embroidery girl, and his anxious and happy appearance made the generals laugh.

"The generals will return to camp!"

Everyone originally went out of the camp to relax, but they didn't expect to be swept away by Liu Dasheng, and Xu Rui concluded that this matter was probably not so simple, Liu Yi didn't want to cause trouble at this juncture, so he waved his hand and shouted at everyone to return.

Xu Rui shook his head, flashed out of the crowd, and stopped Liu Yi and said, "General, slow down, you might as well sit in the tea stall for a while." ”

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, now is not the time to be lazy, now that the court is surging, and the future of Beiwuwei is uncertain, we must not cause any more trouble, otherwise the old man will never spare him from the boss just now." ”

Xiao Jinwu on the side saw Xu Rui's signature thief smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, frowned, and asked, "Xu Zuoling, do you see something?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were stunned again, and they all looked at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui said with a smile: "I saw some doorways, but I'm not sure, as long as I wait for a while at the tea stall, I can see it." ”

Liu Yi was accustomed to Xu Rui's bad habit of liking to sell guanzi, and seeing that he looked confident, he knew that he couldn't ask a way now, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then wait a while!" ”

After speaking, he beckoned, and the generals sat back on the tea stall.

was so troubled by the garrison, the lively market was suddenly deserted, and the shopkeeper and the guys of the tea stall didn't know where to go, but fortunately, the tea just served was still hot, enough for everyone to drink for a while.

However, as soon as the empty cups were filled with tea, they saw an old man walking slowly across the street, looking very dazzling in the empty market.

The old man looked to be in his seventies, as thin as wood, with a wrinkled face and deep-set eye sockets, like a night owl.

He was dressed in a splendid robe, and he looked rich, but his walking posture was slow, as if he was walking on thin ice, which was diametrically opposed to his outfit, and felt a little strange.

Gonggong Cao was about to drink tea with a tea bowl, and when he saw this person, he was shocked, the tea bowl in his hand suddenly slipped down, and the tea was spilled all over the table.

Liu Yi and Xiao Jinwu also shrank their pupils, stiffened, and couldn't say a word.

The other generals were inexplicable, but seeing the three of them like this, they couldn't help but restrain themselves.

Xu Rui's heart sank, and he secretly said that his guess was indeed right, but his face was silent.

The old man walked through the bazaar, ignoring everyone at all, and just walked straight to Xu Rui and bowed down with his fists.

"This little brother, my lord just witnessed Liu Dasheng's oppression of the township and the common people, and he admires the little brother for his wisdom and courage and the solution to this matter without leakage, and I want to talk to the little brother, I don't know if I can move?"

Xu Rui hurriedly got up and returned the salute and said: "Thank you for the old man's love, the wise and brave is the ranger who passes by, the kid just sees that there is injustice and speaks up." ”

He didn't know the details of this old man, so he naturally didn't dare to admit it, and the old man didn't do much entanglement, but bowed deeply again and invited Xu Rui to meet his master on the street.

Xu Rui turned around, only to see Gonggong Cao drooping his head and not daring to raise his eyes, Liu Yi wanted to speak, but Xiao Jinwu held his thigh and stopped talking.

Xiao Jinwu squeezed his eyebrows at Xu Rui, but with his beard, how funny and funny it was.

Xu Rui sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide today, so he laughed and said: "All brothers in the four seas, since your lord is gracious, how dare the kid disobey?" ”

Hearing this, the old man still had a dead face, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion, but he just bowed down and got out of the way and said, "That's very good, little brother, please!" ”

Xu Rui didn't squirm, and walked towards the opposite street first, and the old man hurriedly walked a few steps quickly and walked around to him to guide him.

As soon as the two left, Gonggong Cao suddenly woke up like a zombie, and said with a miserable face: "It's bad, it's bad, he's here, how is it good, how is it good?" ”

Liu Yi slapped the table, pointed at Xiao Jinwu and said angrily: "I didn't expect him to be the mastermind behind the scenes, why did you stop me just now?" Xu Rui, a stunned young man, doesn't know how powerful it is, if he says the wrong thing, it will be a big deal! ”

Xiao Jinwu said with a gloomy face: "Since he is here, he has already made it clear, if we have one more word just now, it will be a bad thing." ”

"Hey!"

Liu Yi didn't know that Xiao Jinwu was extremely right, but he was really worried about Xu Rui's safety.

To say that the unlucky person in this Daxing City who can make Xu Rui, the demon king of the mixed world, definitely count it in one slap, and the one who happened to come and the one who was waiting to see him are among them, how can he not be in a hurry?

The generals looked at each other, not knowing why these three adults reacted so much, but Xiao Jinwu sighed and said: "Don't worry too much, with Xu Rui's intelligence, he may not be able to see the doorway, I believe he will be fine." ”

Father-in-law Cao smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that he will see the way, this kid often acts unexpectedly, and bold, who knows what moths he will make, it just so happens that he doesn't like moths very much, this game is really dangerous!" ”

Xiao Jinwu shook his head and said: "The danger is indeed true, but don't forget, the two adults, Xu Rui is just an unpopular leader, but that one wants to see him by name, and in this way, don't you still understand the deep meaning?" ”

Liu Yi and Father-in-law Cao were slightly stunned, and Father-in-law Cao immediately reacted and said in surprise: "You mean ......?"

Xiao Jinwu nodded and said: "Today's matter is that person's temptation of Xu Rui, that is to say, Xu Rui, this kid has entered his eyes!" ”

"What?!"

Liu Yi and Gonggong Cao were shocked at the same time, their faces seemed to be surprised and happy, and they were extremely complicated.

Xu Rui followed the old man to a restaurant on the opposite street, and the shopkeeper was running away, but the diners were scared away by the garrison, and the huge restaurant was deserted.

"Old man, who is your master?"

Before going upstairs, Xu Rui asked with a smile.

The old two walked in front of Xu Rui in an orderly manner, and said without replying: "The master is in the upstairs box, why don't you ask him in person?" ”

Seeing that he was indifferent, Xu Rui pursed his lips, stopped asking, and followed him to the box on the second floor.

The door of the box was empty, but for some reason Xu Rui faintly felt that murder was lurking, he was sure that if someone wanted to force their way into the box, they would immediately be killed by a dead soldier who didn't know where to hide.

The old man stood at the door of the box, knocked lightly on the door and said, "Master, the little brother is here." ”

"Ask him to come in."

A deep voice came from inside the door.

The old man nodded slightly, gently pushed the door open, and made a gesture of please.

Xu Rui took a deep look at him, raised his feet and walked into the room.

There was nothing special in the room, except for the smell of the aromatherapy, there was only one table and four chairs, and a middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting at the table, leisurely brewing a pot of tea.

The middle-aged man is dressed in plain clothes, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there is an atmosphere between his gestures, although he is already a little old, but he can still vaguely see a little handsome, and he must be a graceful and graceful son when he is young.

Seeing Xu Rui enter the door, the middle-aged man didn't get up, just pointed to the chair at the table and smiled: "Little brother, please take a seat." ”

The simple five words, coming out of his mouth, carried an undoubted faint majesty, which was the momentum cultivated in a high position for a long time, and it would be revealed unconsciously.

Xu Rui was not polite, sat down opposite the middle-aged man with a golden knife, and arched his hand: "I don't know what this uncle is called?" ”

"Uncle?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and looked up at the old man.

The old man followed Xu Rui into the house, carefully closed the door, and nodded silently when he saw the middle-aged man looking at him.

The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Zai Xia is in business, and it is okay to call Zai Uncle according to his age." ”

"Doing business?"

Xu Rui said with a smile: "Uncle's business must be very big, and it is one of the best in the entire Northern Dynasty, right?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "How can you see it?" ”

Xu Rui said: "Doing business pays attention to a letter word, and in order to win the trust of others, it is often necessary to put on a show of pomp and circumstance to show financial resources.

Uncle, you are dressed in plain clothes, and you don't have a valuable object from head to toe, which means that your status is high enough to return to the basics, and you don't need these things outside your body to win the trust of others, so it's not one of the best? ”

What Xu Rui said is actually a state of mind, the so-called shopping malls are like battlefields, mixed with fish and dragons, full of scammers and ill-intentioned people.

It's not entirely a bad thing to have a swollen face and be fat, many businessmen are low-key, drive luxury cars, and wear famous brands not necessarily for enjoyment, but want to declare their strength and status through these external things, so that it is easier to gain the trust of partners and get opportunities.

Only those who already have a certain status, or even stand at the top of the pyramid, do not need these external things to decorate the faΓ§ade.

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "The little brother's opinion is interesting, but if you think about it, it makes some sense. ”

Seeing that he acquiesced, Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "It's all about thinking about it when I usually have nothing to do, which makes the uncle laugh, I don't know why the uncle is looking for me?" ”

The middle-aged man lifted the teapot, poured two cups of tea, pushed one cup in front of Xu Rui, and said with a smile: "If you are not mistaken, the little brother and his party should all be generals in the army, right?" The little brother can be in a high position at a young age, which is really envious of others. ”

Xu Rui lifted the teacup and drank it all, nodded, and shook his head again.

"Uncle's eyes are like torches, and the people around the kid are indeed generals in the army, but the kid is just a leader, not much better than the big head soldiers."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Little brother is too modest, I see that although you are the youngest in your group, everyone is around you, but you are the only one, if you are just a leader, why are they like this?" ”

When he said this, although the middle-aged man was still smiling, Xu Rui was keenly aware of the chill in his tone, as if as long as he didn't answer well, it would lead to a big disaster.

This set at the beginning?

Xu Rui scolded in his heart, but there was no difference on his face, and he said with a grin: "Uncle is too worried, the people present are not only the bosses of the kid, but also the elders of the kid, how can there be any foresight?"

It's true to say that everyone respects the boy's opinion, but there is no respect in the world for no reason, they just think that the boy is smarter than everyone else, so they take the boy's words as a reference. ”

The army is the important weapon of the country, and the generals will never look at anyone except the emperor, Xu Rui will certainly not make such a political mistake, it is to plug the pit dug by the middle-aged man in the first half of the sentence.

After that, he changed his words again, and told him that he was smarter than everyone else, so everyone would listen to him, which was a demonstration of digging a hole for middle-aged people.

This seems to be contradictory, but it is both offensive and defensive, which not only ensures political correctness, but also quietly warns middle-aged people that they are not stupid, and they don't have to be so tempting.

Sure enough, after listening to Xu Rui's answer, the middle-aged man picked up the teacup, a wisp of different color flashed in his eyes, swallowed back the words he was ready to try, and went straight to the point.

"Oh? At a young age, the little brother boasted that he was smarter than the generals in the army, and he must have been an unborn genius.

Only the Northern Wuwei who returned from the Southern Expedition was stationed nearby, if it was expected to be good, the little brother was probably one of them, since you are so powerful, why did you hear that the Northern Wuwei returned from a big defeat this time? ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes were full of cold light, especially the words "defeated and returned" were bitten very hard, as if a tiger in sheep's clothing suddenly tore through the camouflage, roared the mountains and fields, and the amazing momentum came from the mountains and seas, as if to completely engulf Xu Rui.

Xu Rui's heart sank, and he said secretly: "Straight to the point?" It seems that today's first level has finally arrived......"
