Chapter 166 165

The head of the Seven Stars Gang.

In the conference hall, Lu Shen and Lin Jie were talking secretly, and Lin Xi walked in quickly.

She didn't look at Lu Shen, nor did she salute Lin Jie, she just sat silently on the first chair on the right, looking down at the ground at her feet slightly.

At this moment, there was no one in the hall, only Lin Jie's henchmen were guarding the door.

The two men, one old and one young, glanced at each other, Lu Shen's eyes moved slightly, as if he had the intention of inquiring, but Lin Jie shook his head imperceptibly.

Lu Shen knew it in his heart, although he felt a little guilty, he had to say cautiously: "Senior sister? ”

"Hmm."

Lin Xi replied expressionlessly, and then there was no follow-up.

Seeing this, Lin Jie smiled slightly, coughed lightly and said, "Xi'er, who made you angry?" To put it bluntly, let the Father vent for you. ”

Lin Xi looked up at him, frowned, and said, "Daddy, I just heard about it, you want to let your junior brother go to Heluo City to assassinate Chen Jingtang?" ”

In fact, when she uncharacteristically showed awkward emotions, Lu Shen had already guessed her thoughts, and she naturally sighed in her heart.

Lin Jie's demeanor was gentle and explained: "This matter was not mentioned by my father. Jiang Houming arched the fire in public, if the junior brother refused to agree, it would be difficult for the brothers in the gang to believe his sincerity. You should know that they are all temperamental people, there are not too many twists and turns, if they can't recognize Lu Shen from the bottom of their hearts, he will not be able to move an inch in the gang later. Of course, his father could refuse Jiang Houming's proposal on behalf of Lu Shen, but this meant that he would run in vain this time. ”

Lin Xi said angrily: "But the junior brother is obviously here to help us!" ”

"I know, you don't have to rush."

Lin Jie was gentle and reassured, and continued: "Xi'er, I know that you are worried about Lu Shen's safety, but you have to understand one truth, there is never absolute security in this world. Even if he didn't join the army, being a rich kid with no ambitions in Guangling might still encounter all kinds of dangers. ”

"Daddy, don't confuse the concept, staying in Guangling to be a rich kid is not the same thing as going to Heluo City to assassinate Chen Jingtang, the dangers that the two may encounter are very different."

Lin Xi's eyes were clear, and there was obvious melancholy.

Lin Jie smiled and said, "Yes, you are right, but since he has taken the first step, he will inevitably bear unknown dangers, unless he has not joined the army from the beginning." Even if he didn't have this matter, would he be safe and secure on the battlefield in the future? I can understand that you are worried about his safety, but you should trust his abilities. ”

Lin Xi's lips were pursed, and his white fingers were twisted into his long sleeves.

Lin Jie also had a headache when he saw this, his daughter was good at everything, but sometimes she was more stubborn, so she continued to persuade: "Do you think, if there is no such thing, how long will it take for Lu Shen to convince most of the people in the gang?" Taking advantage of this momentum to gain the trust of the vast majority of people, he does not need to waste time dealing with people. Moreover, Chen Jingtang has resigned from his official position and is no longer the privy deputy envoy in charge of the military power of the Yan Dynasty, and the guards around him are not as powerful as you think, so this matter is not very dangerous. ”

Lin Xi's face softened slightly.

Lu Shen took advantage of the situation and said: "Senior sister, in fact, I have talked to Uncle Shi before, even if I don't consider the existence of people like Hall Master Jiang, there will still be some seniors who don't believe in the sincerity of me and Governor Xiao. Hall Master Jiang's proposal can be regarded as a hug, which just saves me a lot of effort. ”

Even though he made up his mind to ignore him today, after hearing the words "throw himself into his arms", Lin Xi almost laughed, and then turned his head to look at him, trying to make a serious expression: "When we were separated in Jianghua City, I told you, try not to take risks in person, and don't be as desperate as you are outside Guangling City. You have a lot of time to win the trust of the elders in the gang, so why rush it? ”

Lu Shen rarely saw Lin Xi describe it like this, especially in front of Lin Jie, feeling that the gaze of the first person in the rivers and lakes stayed on his face, he couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, but more moved, so he said sincerely: "Senior sister, we don't have much time to deal with those details. ”

Lin Xi's attitude began to soften, because she understood the meaning of this sentence.

Lu Shen continued: "Now that the other gangs in the Northland Green Forest have surrendered to the Yan Dynasty one after another, they will soon attack the Seven Star Gang. Although it was definitely based on Zhao'an at the beginning, the Yan Dynasty would not let this matter drag on, and would use troops once Zhao'an failed. Since I'm here, I definitely hope to get to the point as soon as possible. The sooner we are prepared, the better our chances of success will be in the future. ”

Lin Xi had already accepted his explanation in his heart, and said softly: "Okay, since you are so insistent, it will be useless for me to argue again." Daddy, I'm going with my junior brother. ”

She thought that this was a reasonable request, after all, her companion could protect Lu Shen and increase the probability of success.

Who knew that Lin Jie shook his head and said resolutely: "No." ”

Lin Xi asked puzzledly, "Daddy, why not?" ”

Lin Jie glanced at Lu Shen and said undoubtedly: "We should not meddle in this matter, at least you can't leave the main village." Regardless of success or failure, this matter can only rely on Lu Shen and Nanqi's people, otherwise it will have the opposite effect. When Lu Shen returns, I will openly accept him as a closed disciple, and then give him the power to train and help the people, so justifiably that no one can question it. ”

At this point, Lin Xi knew that it was difficult to change, after all, her father's intentions were extremely right, especially this kind of serious matter related to the future of the Seven Star Gang.

Lu Shen interjected: "Uncle Shi, I have something I want to say to my senior sister. ”

Lin Jie bowed slightly, and said, "I will let Ran Xuanzhi arrange a guide, and then get you a seamless identity to facilitate your work in Heluo City." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Lu Shen stood up and saluted, then left the council hall with Lin Xi and walked side by side towards the residence to the east.

"Senior sister, do you remember when we were in Guangling City, we had a very interesting topic?"

Lu Shen knew that she was not feeling very comfortable in her heart, it was a very complicated emotion, mixed with worry and guilt, so she opened the conversation in a roundabout way.

Lin Xi tilted his head to look at him: "What topic?" ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "On the topic of repaying gratitude." When I was in Guangling, Senior Sister only needed to teach me martial arts, but you did a lot of things at risk, and I still remember it very clearly. You accompanied me to catch the spies of the Yan Dynasty, fought side by side with me outside Guangling City, and did not hesitate to exhaust my internal strength just to help me defend the city wall. At that time, I said that I owed more and more favors to my sister, and I had to repay it with a lifetime. If you can't pay it off in this life, there will be another life and the next life. ”

"Where...... That's how far it goes. Lin Xi only felt that his heartbeat was violent, and this guy's last few words were clearly expressing his position.

A life is very long, and a person will be very lonely, but if you are accompanied by a confidant, every period of time will be colorful.

Lu Shen said: "Actually, Uncle Shi has a saying that makes a lot of sense, since I have decided to embark on the road of joining the army, I am destined to encounter many unknown dangers, and it is impossible to live in an absolutely safe environment forever." Besides, I don't think it's an uncertain adventure, do you remember that I have another hidden identity. ”

Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Warp weaving division? ”

Lu Shen snapped his fingers and praised: "Senior sister has a good memory." I am not only a military general of the border army, but also a warp weaving department. Before leaving the capital, Lord Qin raised my authority in the Warp Weaving Division and gave me a waist card. With this waist plate as a proof, I can call on all the hands of the Warp Weaver Division in the Northland. ”

He took out a jade plaque from his waist and handed it to Lin Xi as a treasure.

Lin Xi knew why he was so childish, obviously he didn't want her to worry too much, and then thinking about his previous performance, he felt a little like laughing.

After all, it's for the sake of each other.

She pushed Lu Shen's hand back and said softly, "With the Warp Weaving Division to help you, there shouldn't be any danger." ”

When it comes to poisoning and assassination, the secret agents of the Warp Weaving Division are naturally experts.

Lu Shen said with a smile: "Senior sister, don't worry, I just went to Heluo City this time, took the head of Chen Jingtang's old thief and came back." In no more than ten days, my sister will be able to see me again, so you don't have to miss me too much. ”

"You...... Who misses you?! ”

Lin Xiqiao's face was slightly red, biting her lips lightly, and she tried to squeeze out a little anger on her face.

"It's wrong, it's because I miss my senior sister too much, so I'll rush back as soon as possible."

Lu Shen hurriedly changed his words.

A delicate pink appeared on Lin Xi's cheeks, and he hummed softly, "Don't think about it!" ”

Lu Shendeng asked with some grievances: "Huh...... Can't really think about it? ”

Lin Xi looked at the smile in this guy's eyes, and didn't know that he was deliberately teasing himself, so he paused lightly, then walked forward and dropped a few crisp words: "Ignore you." ”

Lu Shen looked at her slender back, and hurriedly chased after her, but I don't know what he said again, Lin Xi finally laughed softly.

When he came to the vicinity of Lu Shen's residence, Lin Xi smiled and said softly but solemnly: "Senior brother, if there is disharmony, don't force it, protect yourself first." ”

Lu Shen hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Senior sister, I guarantee that this matter will be resolved quickly and smoothly." ”

Lin Xi didn't say anything more, only raised his white finger and lightly tapped it on his forehead, and then turned to leave.

The next morning, under the gaze of the core figures of the Seven Star Gang, Lu Shen came to the side of an ordinary mount, turned over his horse vigorously, and said to everyone: "Seniors, stay behind, and you will definitely not live up to everyone's expectations." ”

Lin Jie bowed his head slightly, and said loudly: "Go early and return early, I'll wait for good news." ”

Lu Shen gave him a fist salute, then turned his horse's head and joined the horsemen waiting in front of him.

In the middle of the hunting mountain wind, two guides led the way in front, and Lu Shen and others followed closely behind, all the way to the west, riding horses and galloping.
