Lu Fangding's words made my scalp tingle for a while, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious, Lao Wang and the three of them were really in danger of their lives.

I don't doubt that Lu Fangding's words, the four of us, he was the one who matched them together, there are some things that we don't know, he must know.

"You have to be careful in that place at Ta'er Lake." Lu Fangding paused on the other side of the phone, and his tone seemed to be a little gloomy all of a sudden: "I can't walk anymore, and I can't go to Ta'er Lake again." ”

"The last time your team went to Ta'er Lake, they went and came back, and they didn't seem to find anything."

"Just because I didn't find anything, I told you to be careful. The people you bring can't work, you go to find Xiaomao. ”

"Looking for Xiaomao?" I think that Lu Fangding may really have a feeling of explaining the future, he is Xiaomao's boss, this kind of thing, if it is not a last resort, it is estimated that he will not admit it easily.

"He's a reliable man, you go to him and let him take you to Ta'er Lake." Lu Fangding paused on the phone again, and said slowly: "By the way...... By the way, tell him...... Lu Fangding, or the same Lu Fangding twenty years ago...... You must bring this sentence to ......"

"Why don't you tell him ...... in person"

I haven't finished saying this sentence yet, the phone was suddenly disconnected, I don't know if the signal on Lu Fangding's side is not good, or the phone is out of battery, and when I call again, the phone is turned off.

I thought about it for a long time, but I decided to go to Xiaomao. Because after making this phone call with Lu Fangding, I seem to have a mountain on my body, and now it is not only related to my personal safety, but also Lao Wang and the three of them. After several births and deaths, I have invisibly regarded them as very important people in my heart, I don't want to lose them, the feeling of loss is unbearable.

I asked Lao Wang and Zhang Momo to continue to make preparations, and then went to find Xiao Mao myself. The last time I contacted Xiao Mao, he told me that he was in a small county, but I didn't know the specific address, and when I arrived in the county seat, I called Xiao Mao temporarily.

Xiao Mao was a little surprised by my arrival, but it could be seen that he was very happy. He took me to his quarters, which were not too big and very ordinary. Xiao Mao may really be about to open a small restaurant, and I saw stacks of plates and bowls in the room.

Xiao Mao fried a few dishes and invited me to drink. His cooking skills are really good, and if he opens a fly restaurant, I believe the business will be very good.

When I was drinking, I noticed that the two fingers of Xiao Mao's left hand were always bent, as if they could not be straightened. I asked him if he had deliberately hidden his left hand, and said it was nothing.

But I know that this is the injury he suffered the last time he went to the Poplar River, and perhaps the treatment has been delayed, and both fingers will never be straight.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a little sad, I have always been reluctant to drag Xiao Mao down, this time out of helplessness, plus Lu Fangding said so again, I ran to find Xiao Mao. But as soon as I saw his fingers, the words on my lips seemed to be unspeakable, and I swallowed them all back.

"Here, do one." Xiao Mao raised the cup, touched it with me, drank it all, this glass of wine was down, he took a mouthful of food, while eating, and said: "I'm idle now, you are busier than me, since you came to me, it can't be bragging and chatting, if there is anything, tell me." ”

"It's okay, I just want to have some drinks with you and brag about it."

"Let's talk, we don't have to hide it, if we don't say anything, it's not enough friends." Xiao Mao is honest, but not stupid at all, he knows that something is wrong with me.

"That ......" I hesitated, but still didn't say anything about Ta'er Lake: "That's it, let me bring you a message." ”

"Lord!? What did he ask you to bring? ”

"He asked me to tell you, Lu Fangding, or the same Lu Fangding twenty years ago......"

After Xiao Mao listened, he didn't say anything, but the speed of pouring wine and vegetables slowed down significantly. He lowered his head slightly, and was silent for a long time, and when he looked up again, I found that his eyes were wet, but there was an indescribable pleasure in his expression.

The thing is obvious, when he was in Ta'er Lake, Xiao Mao saw that incredible scene, until now, he couldn't tell whether the Lu Fangding who climbed up from the water alive was really Lu Fangding.

He has been doubting this matter, and Lu Fangding must also know that Xiao Mao is suspicious. But Lu Fangding didn't know what kind of consideration he was in, and he never said this thoroughly. Ning Xiaomao was suspicious, and followed him around for a few years.

Perhaps, Lu Fangding has unspeakable hardships and doesn't want Xiao Mao to know too much. But the sentence that Lu Fang Ding brought to Xiao Mao undoubtedly shows that Lu Fang Ding is really Lu Fang Ding.

The mystery that Xiao Mao had held in his heart for several years was now solved, and he was very excited and happy. Because he finally knew that the current Lu Fangding was still the top master who gave him money, helped him, and let him find his self-worth twenty years ago. At the same time, this will also make Xiao Mao feel that he has done things for Lu Fangding in the past few years, and he has not done it in vain.

Xiao Mao's joy was beyond words, and he toasted me two more times. After two glasses of wine, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and said while eating with chopsticks: "The top master won't let you talk for no reason, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

"The ......"

"Really, no need to spit out." Xiao Mao put down his chopsticks, poured wine for me, and said: "Why do I want to leave the top master, you know, if I wasn't sure of eating at that time, I definitely wouldn't have left him, now there is a word from his old man, I am content, what is the matter, just say it." ”

"Taal Lake." I think it would be a bit inappropriate to be hesitant with Xiao Mao again, so I directly told Xiao Mao about the plan to go to Ta'er Lake this time.

"After drinking, I'll clean up." After Xiao Mao listened to it, he didn't say a word of nonsense at all, and simply agreed to it neatly.

For people like Xiaomao, there is no need to be polite, and there is no need to say those words of thanks. I can only solemnly toast him with a glass of wine.

Xiao Mao was originally very happy, but after drinking this glass of wine, he didn't know what he remembered, and his expression suddenly became very gloomy.

"Isn't the top master...... Is something wrong? ”

"Maybe it's a little bit uncomfortable." I didn't hide it from him, and told Xiao Mao about the situation on Lu Fangding, as well as the situation on Datong's side.

Xiao Mao didn't say anything more, and drank one by one. When we finished eating, we were all a little drunk, and we didn't dare to drive back, so we stayed here for one night, and the next day, I returned to Huayang with Xiaomao.

On the way back, I chatted with Xiao Mao, and as I talked, the topic turned to that Su Shiren. I asked Xiao Mao, have you heard of it before, there is a boss behind Lu Fangding.

"I really don't know if the boss has it, but I know that the top master is not doing things alone."

Xiao Mao said some things, some of which were similar to what the Seventh Master said. Everyone in the ancient line knows that Lu Fangding started with a dzi, but that dzi was not Lu Fangding's thing, it was given to him by someone else, and he came forward to sell it, and then started with this money.

In fact, what these people know is inherently irrational. At that time, the battle between Lu Fangding and Zhao Sanyuan was not necessary, Lu Fangding was in Huayang, Zhao Sanyuan was in Xincheng, at that time, Guxing had just begun to recover, the scale of the market was very small, and the two of them did not occupy the local territory, so they couldn't make a big move. But Zhao Sanyuan just stretched out his hand to Huayang, and he couldn't get along with Lu Fang.

Many years have passed, and some truths have been drowned in time. Lu Fangding and Zhao Sanyuan are fighting very well, that kind of fighting method is not to grab business and occupy territory at all, but more like some deep hatred.

Moreover, in addition to fighting with Zhao Sanyuan back then, Lu Fangding had a big deal to do. But no one knows what his big deal is. Xiao Mao only knew that at that time, Lu Fangding's forces were not as thin as outsiders said, but a large part of his strength was done to do that big business, leaving only a small part to confront Zhao Sanyuan.

It can be said that most of Lu Fangding's energy is in that business, which shows that that business is far more important than grabbing land with Zhao Sanyuan. It was because of this business that consumed manpower and financial resources that Lu Fangding fell behind for a long time, and he had to use various ways to absorb members and compete with Zhao Sanyuan. This is precisely the reason for the complexity of Chase's later personnel composition.

The things that Xiao Mao said did not have any substantive significance, because it did not explain what kind of business Lu Fangding's big business was, but these things were like a thread, connecting the previous fragmented clues together.

I'm sure that Lu Fangding's big business is definitely a failure. But he was still unwilling and did not give up. He may feel that his life will not be too long, and there will not be enough time to finish the unfinished things, so he will have to pick the right person and continue to do what he has not done.

Judging from the current situation, 90 percent of him picked me up, and regarded me as a candidate to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Only this speculation can explain why Lu Fangding suddenly handed over Chase to me.

I believe that my judgment is correct, but I still can't figure it out, if I am only involved in this big incident, even if it is enough, it is necessary to involve Lao Wang and them? To put it mildly, Lao Wang and the three of them have almost no other use except for dragging their feet.

Also, if Lu Fangding really chooses me and lets me inherit his legacy, then wouldn't it be better for him to tell me the ins and outs directly? It allows me to grasp information more quickly and speed up the process of things. But he didn't do it, preferring to leave me stumbling alone to find clues, and never said anything about the hidden circumstances of this big event.

As I drove, I carefully recalled the details of my contact with Lu Fangding. I suddenly had a feeling that Lu Fangding didn't tell me those hidden secrets, not that he didn't want to say it, but he probably didn't dare to say it.

He didn't dare to say, then, what was he afraid of?
