Early Morning of the Empire 88: Shadow of the Huns – Temptation
The ruddy complexion of the person in front of Lin Xu was now covered with a layer of earthy gray, dark and astringent, without luster, thin cheeks, and deep-set eyes that set off the cheekbones on both sides.
This person is the owner of the canteen of Qixia School Palace, he is talking with Qian Yuan cordially at this time, seeing that the two are talking and laughing, Lin Xu speculates that Qian Yuan and him should know each other.
Qian Yuan looked at the food in his hand and found that he had ordered a lot of dishes, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the boss: "Okay, let's just ask for these first, if it's not enough, I'll have some later." ”
The boss said to Qian Yuan with a soft look on his face: "Okay, Miss Qian Yuan, we just got a new batch of ingredients from the southern grassland, do you want to try it, it's free!"
This man's face is full of hard work, and the earth-colored face has passed the traces of time, giving the first impression of an honest man who is useless.
When Qian Yuan heard that it was free, her face suddenly became a little happy, and she hurriedly agreed: "Okay!"
"Okay, I'll present the ...... to Miss Qian Yuan."
Seeing Qian Yuan's promise, the boss spooned out a green vegetarian dish from another pot.
Qian Yuan looked at the food in the bowl and wrinkled her beautiful eyes, "Is this it?"
The boss wiped the beads of sweat from his face and said sincerely: "Well, yes, this is something we got from the south with a lot of effort, and we can't find it in the mainland." ”
Qian Yuan saw that the boss was working so hard, so she didn't ask anymore, and the boss thanked her again: "Okay, thank you boss." ”
The boss laughed, and then said to Qian Yuan: "It's okay, if it's delicious, please ask Miss Qian Yuan to help us promote it." ”
Qian Yuan smiled slightly, said no more, and said that she agreed.
Qian Yuan saw Lin Xu's motionless pestle in place, and said to Lin Xu dissatisfiedly: "Come here, what are you doing? Come and serve the food." ”
Hearing Qian Yuan's words, Lin Xu came back to his senses with excitement, staring at this boss carefully, before he figured out the purpose of this person, Lin Xu didn't dare to act rashly, this person hid himself so deeply, he shouldn't be a small person.
Sure enough, as Li Xiuyuan said, the water of the Qi Xia School Palace is deep.
Hearing Qian Yuan's shout, Lin Xu slowly walked towards Qian Yuan, but his eyes were still rolling on this boss.
Lin Xu took the plate in Qian Yuan's hand, gently held up the square plate with both hands, turned his thumb under the square plate, and then "accidentally", the square plate containing the food quickly fell to the ground.
At this moment of racing against time, the boss was quick-eyed, grabbed the square plate as quickly as lightning with one hand, and the plate containing Lin Xu's meal was taken down by the boss without pulling a drop.
Lin Xu's pupils were slightly open, fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and the clothes behind him were faintly wet, but Lin Xu's expression did not change in the slightest, pretending to be "embarrassed".
After the boss put the plate steadily, he said to Lin Xu reproachfully: "Young man, why are you so careless! Fortunately, I have a fast hand, otherwise I would definitely fall to the ground." ”
Qian Yuan also looked at Lin Xu strangely, she herself knew Lin Xu's skills, Lin Xu was a genuine earth-level cultivator, and this unexpected situation should not occur.
Lin Xu didn't dare to think about the picture he saw just now, so he could only say sorry to the boss who lived in a foreign land: "I'm really sorry, my hand slipped just now, I'm sorry boss." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you have to be careful next time!"
Seeing that Lin Xu's words had already come to this point, the boss was embarrassed to do anything more, and waved his hand at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu hurriedly replied: "Okay, I know." "I want to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Lin Xu turned to leave, and the moment he turned to leave, Lin Xu's face changed a few times, and he gave Qian Yuan a look with a plate full of rice, knowing that Qian Yuan would leave quickly.
Qian Yuan was about to open her mouth to ask Lin Xu what was going on, but seeing that Lin Xu's face was not very good, and at the same time, Lin Xu's eyes were urging her to leave, Qian Yuan stopped asking, immediately closed her mouth, and followed Lin Xu to turn around and leave.
The boss watched Lin Xu's departure with a smile on his face, and when he saw the fine sweat on the back of Lin Xu's neck, his brows furrowed slightly, and then his face froze.
............
Lin Xu and the two found a remote corner and sat down, the cafeteria of Qixia School Palace was still very good, in addition to the many windows for eating, there were also a lot of seats and benches.
Although this climate is the peak season for eating, and the location is relatively tight, Lin Xu still found a remote corner and sat down, and after taking a seat, Lin Xu also motioned for Qian Yuan to sit down.
When Lin Xu sat down, he found that his back was all soaked, and the sweat on his face came out like a flood, and the sweat crawled all over Lin Xu's cheeks, but Lin Xu didn't choose to wipe it, but took a long breath.
Qian Yuan looked at Lin Xu with some surprise, and was shocked how Brother Lin Xu looked frightened and undecided for the rest of his life.
Qian Yuan consciously took out a handkerchief from her embroidery pocket, handed it to Lin Xu, and said to Lin Xu worriedly: What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xu took the handkerchief handed over by Qian Yuan, wiped the sweat on his face, only smelled a burst of aroma, Lin Xu tried to ask Qian Yuan, "Do you know the boss just now?"
Qian Yuan still didn't understand: "You said that the boss just now! He is a very good person, and his cooking is delicious." ”
Lin Xu asked again, "When did he come to the Academy Palace?"
Seeing that Lin Xu's face was still wrinkled, Qian Yuan's little face was full of worry, "He, probably a year ago, I can't remember the specific time." ”
Hearing Qian Yuan's words, Lin Xu fell into deep thought, if the time was a year ago, the time would be a little wrong.
Qixia School Palace is a problem that just appeared, how could this boss appear in Qixia School Palace so early?
And after this boss stretched out his arm, it was proved that Lin Xu's own suspicions were wrong, not only that he was wrong, but even Tianji Pavilion was wrong, they arrested the boss just now as an ordinary remnant of the Six Kingdoms, and they had already fallen into a blind spot in their thinking.
It's no wonder that Tianji Pavilion didn't catch this person that night, and he didn't even figure out who his enemy was, how could the arrest operation be successful.
Qian Yuan saw that Lin Xu fell into deep thought, she was silent for a while, and asked Lin Xu again, "Lin Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xu explained to Qian Yuan seriously: "If I tell you that the boss is an imperial rebel, do you believe me?"
Qian Yuan's expression was indescribably surprised, "How is it possible, how can the boss be a remnant of the Six Kingdoms......!
Lin Xu chuckled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "When did I say that he is the remnant of the Six Kingdoms, how can his identity be comparable to the current remnants?"
Qian Yuan's face suddenly turned a little pale, if his status was higher than that of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, then it could not be an ordinary imperial rebellion, now that the relationship between the Great Qin Empire and the Demon Clan has improved, and the state of confrontation has long ended, then there is only one possibility left.
The Huns, the confidants of the Great Qin Empire for many years, and the southern steppe peoples who have easily revived after many encirclements and suppressions.
The big forces entrenched in the south of the empire, the empire has to spend manpower, material resources, and financial resources every year to clean up, and it has also deliberately formed southern troops to prevent the invasion of these Huns.
Qian Yuan's lips turned a little pale, "Are you sure he is a Hun from the south?"
Lin Xu nodded heavily and said: "At first, I didn't know very well, I thought he was just a remnant of the Six Kingdoms hidden in the Qixia School Palace, but just now I tested him, and the moment he stretched out his hand, I saw the totem on his arm, and I was sure that he was a Hun." ”
Lin Xu was just testing the rebellious cultivator of the empire just now, but he didn't expect that between the few exhalations of the boss's outstretched arm, Lin Xu actually saw a wolf totem.
Although it was only a small part, the red eyes of the wolf were deeply imprinted in Lin Xu's heart, which was the symbol of the Huns, and the totem was embroidered with soul-stirring eyes, which Lin Xu would not forget.
The book record about the Huns was not what Lin Xu saw when he refused Beicheng, but what Lin Xu learned when he came to Xianyang.
Hearing Lin Xu's words, Qian Yuan said in disbelief: "He, he!
Lin Xu suddenly smiled and said, "This may have something to do with you?"
Qian Yuan was a little stunned, and her face was full of incomprehension.
Lin Xu reminded: "The poison of the Huns is half the moon!"
Qian Yuan came to his senses, a line without a line connected all the clues, and when all the evidence was placed on the table, it pointed to a person who couldn't even think of killing him.
Lin Xu thought differently from Qian Yuan, this person was hidden in the Qixia School Palace, in order not to expose himself, he chose two unknown people to kill Qian Yuan, but what was his purpose?
Revenge or revenge?
Lin Xu didn't know anything, and through his own temptation just now, Lin Xu could already be sure that the boss had already forgotten all about himself.
But it's reasonable to think about it, when he first came to Xianyang, Lin Xu was just an ordinary person who knew some fighting skills.
But now that Lin Xu is a ground-level cultivator, whether it is Lin Xu's fearless temperament or the extraordinary bearing brought by the great world, it is not comparable to his previous self.
"Has your family offended the Huns?"
Lin Xu didn't know much about Qian Yuan's family, but whether it was the caution of the manager of Wangxian Tower, or Meng Kai's attitude towards Qian Yuan, it all showed that Qian Yuan's family should also be an imperial wealthy family.
"There should be no ......"
Qian Yuan thought of his grandfather and father, they were both scholars, so they just knew some kung fu, and how could their family be targeted by the Huns.
"Do you think they've given up killing me?"
Qian Yuan's big eyes flickered and looked at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu shook his head, now he felt that Qian Yuan was really naïve, but how could he be fierce in front of him.
"I want to ...... Nope!"
Lin Xu said with great certainty, and then set his eyes on the plate of green vegetables in Qian Yuan's rice bowl.
