Chapter 142: The Soldier Dies, a Confidant
"Shangguan Tianyou has come to the Taj Mahal?"
After Lu Fan took a sip of water, he asked with some curiosity, he was not familiar with Shangguan Tianyou, but between them, there would be a battle after all, and it was good to be able to understand it in advance.
"How is it possible, Shangguan Tianyou is now a veritable head of the Shangguan family, how could he surrender his identity to such a dangerous place, if something happens, who can afford it?"
Zeng Peng's tone had a hint of sourness, and he didn't know why, Lu Fan felt that this Zeng Peng seemed to have an enmity with Shangguan Tianyou.
"Do you know a little girl named Qiu Ying from your Blue Bird Academy?"
When he heard Zeng Peng say that he was a student of the Jade Bird Academy, Lu Fan asked with a hint of luck.
"Qiu Ying?"
"It should be a rune." Lu Fan added.
"I'm sorry, there are tens of thousands of people in the Academy of Jade Bird Academy, although I am very popular in Jade Bird Academy, but I really don't know a person named Qiu Ying."
Zeng Peng said with some embarrassment, the voice of his self-proclaimed "know-it-all" was so loud before, Lu Fan and the others must have heard it.
Lu Fan, who didn't have much hope, was not too disappointed, just continued to listen to the discussion in the hall, and then leisurely ate the food, he suddenly felt that he had missed too many things before.
In the past, in addition to cultivation and training, he was on a mission, and it was really rare for him to come to a restaurant to eat like this, and those who ate in this hall, although most of them were at the bottom of the cultivation, but he couldn't help but have a lot of people, just from their conversation, Lu Fan could hear a lot of news.
As for Zeng Peng on the side, I don't know if it was because he couldn't answer Lu Fan's question, or because Lu Fan remained silent, he rarely didn't continue to chatter.
The restaurant Lu Fan chose is not only a hall, the hall is just for ordinary mercenaries, the VIP room on the second floor, and the presidential suite on the third floor are not only a difference in money, but also a symbol of status.
In order to highlight the identity of the owner of the VIP private room, all the private rooms are made of single-sided glass on the side facing the hall, so that the guests in the private room can overlook the entire hall, just like a king on earth overlooking his own territory.
Everything that happened in the hall just now was naturally seen by the VIPs in the box on the second floor, and these people didn't buy Zeng Peng's unanimous praise among ordinary people.
The people who can enter the box on the second floor are either very highly talented people who think of themselves, or they are children of big families who know some inside information, so naturally they will not really believe in the tricks of the Shangguan family.
In the 021 box on the second floor, a boy in casual clothes is leisurely drinking tea, and his casual actions can attract a flattering smile from a group of young people around him.
After hearing Zeng Peng's words, this son-in-law pursed his lips with some disdain: "What kind of Shangguan Tianyou is that, can he compare to my brother?" ”
"Young Master Zhao Qiang is extremely talented, has extraordinary understanding, and has bad luck, how can he ......be compared to Shangguan Tianyou?"
As soon as Brother Gongzi's words fell, a group of people around him began to praise the brother in his mouth one by one.
Listening to the words of these flattering people, Zhao Xiang had no fluctuations in his heart, and even wanted to laugh, but he still maintained a satisfied smile on his face, these people regarded him as a fool who relied on a genius brother to make a fortune, and he, why wasn't he teasing these fools?
"I know this Zeng Peng, he is a side disciple of the Zeng family, he doesn't practice well all day long, so he knows that he is doing some sideways, claiming to be a jack of all trades, like a clown, but he is proud again. I saw him the last time the first floor of the Taj Mahal was opened, and he hid in a corner, not daring to move, and finally picked up a burning stick and walked away. ”
Every word of Zhao Xiang can cause endless topics among these young people, and since Zhao Xiang is not satisfied with Zeng Peng's words, these people naturally spare no effort to belittle Zeng Peng.
Of course, what he didn't say was that he did go at that time, but he was not even as good as Zeng Peng, he didn't pick up a burning stick, so he escaped in disgrace, and almost lost his life.
"Oh? Burning sticks? You describe it carefully. ”
Zhao Xiang asked with interest, but there was a wave in his heart, for the history of more than a hundred years ago, the ordinary cultivation of the Federation may have forgotten, but those ancient families of the Federation have detailed records in the clan.
The Zhao family, as the number one surname in the top 100 families in China, was originally a first-class family in China, but it failed to withstand the ravages of time, and now it can only be subservient to the four major families, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the background of the Zhao family is also unfathomable.
And Zhao Xiang happened to see a record of burning sticks in Zhao's house, and the person who used this burning stick was an ancient creature who went out from the Taj Mahal.
In other words, the burning stick that Zeng Peng picked up may be the weapon used by that ancient creature, even if it is not, it must have a lot to do with it.
It is recorded that after the ancient creature used the burning stick, the invincible aliens fell one by one like wheat harvested.
Thinking of the power of the burning stick, Zhao Xiang's heart suddenly became hot.
"You have a grudge against that Zeng Peng, right?"
Zhao Xiang suppressed the heat in his heart, as a child of a big family, he deeply understood the truth of Taoguang and obscurity, which was also the strategy of the Zhao family over the years, hiding behind the four major families and developing secretly.
His pretending to be a gentleman is also a manifestation of the Zhao family's strategy.
Hearing Zhao Xiang's question, the young man who spoke before scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then said honestly: "It's indeed a bit of a festival." ”
What the young man didn't say was that he was the one who was fighting with Zeng Peng for a burning stick at that time, but it was too embarrassing to say that he was just fighting for a burning stick, and he was embarrassed to say it.
"Okay, in that case, this Zeng Peng should die, I'll go and vent my anger for you."
After Zhao Xiang finished speaking, he put the teacup in his hand on the table, walked straight out of the box, and walked towards the hall.
The young people gathered in the box were stunned and hesitated for a while when they saw this, and then they followed out, a side branch of a second-rate family, a descendant of a quasi-first-class family, there is no doubt about how to choose.
And the young man who had a holiday with Zeng Peng, when he saw Zhao Xiang's actions, he was even more moved in his heart, he originally just wanted to get some benefits from Zhao Xiang, but he actually had an urge to die as a confidant.
Those so-called scholars may never know that the so-called scholars die for their confidants, and more is just a means for the superiors to use them.
This kind of taxi is often pitiful, pathetic, and lamentable!
