Chapter 116: Secret Letter
Letter futon?
Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, just now when he kowtowed in front of the statue, he touched it under the futon, and he didn't find anything wrong at the time, but now in retrospect, there was indeed a superfluous action, and asked casually: "This letter is hidden under the futon?"
Lu Baoshi nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." ”
The letter was very long, and Lu Baoshi read it very seriously, and it took half an hour before he folded the letter, and the expression on his face was constantly changing, sometimes excited, sometimes nervous, but he always bowed his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
Bai Cheng asked, "Uncle Shi has encountered any problems?"
Lu Baoshi glanced up at him and asked, "Xiaocheng, what do you think of the position of the head of the family?"
Bai Cheng didn't expect him to suddenly ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
The two have talked deeply about this issue many times, and Lu Baoshi has always persuaded him to compete for the position of head, but he has not been very interested in this matter, and he has shirked it several times.
But that has changed.
Yesterday in the valley, he had reached an agreement with Cheng Shiming to use the position of head to make a deal with the forces behind Jiang Fanghe, so as to suppress the "hidden dragon", eradicate Liu Qingshan, and avenge Bai Tiehan.
In this way, he is bound to fight for the position of the head, but after the fight, he will give up the position to Jiang Fanghe, so for a while, he doesn't know how to explain the cause and effect to Lu Baoshi, so he can only say vaguely: "This position of the head, Liu Qingshan is only afraid that the name will not be right." ”
Lu Baoshi slapped the table and shouted, "That's a good point!"
Seeing that his face suddenly became excited, Bai Cheng asked, "Why did Uncle Shi suddenly talk about this?"
Lu Baoshi took a long breath and said, "In the past, I have repeatedly persuaded you to fight for the position of the head of the family, but you refused to go. At that time, you were still young, and I didn't rush you, so I let you delay like this. But this time you have been gone for a year, during which there has been no news, and I have suspected several times that you have been poisoned by Liu Qingshan, and I don't know how much I regret it. ”
Bai Cheng said: "The disciple is incompetent, and Uncle Lao is worried. ”
Lu Baoshi waved his hand and said, "Between you and my uncle and nephew, don't say polite words." ”
Immediately afterward, he said: "From now on, I will hand over my determination and swear that as long as you can come back, I will help you fight for this position no matter what." ”
When Bai Cheng heard this, a warm current surged in his heart, his eyes were sore, and he almost shed tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Shi's great kindness, Xiaocheng can't thank you." It's just that Liu Qingshan is powerful, this matter is too dangerous, so it's better not to take risks. ”
Lu Baoshi patted Bai Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Xiaocheng, you don't have to worry, I already have a complete grasp of this matter." ”
Bai Cheng blurted out, "How is it possible?"
Lu Baoshi handed the letter he was reading just now to Bai Cheng and said, "You will know after reading this letter." ”
Bai Cheng took the letterhead and read it carefully, as the content deepened, the puzzle on his face became deeper and deeper, until he finally saw the place where he fell, he was taken aback and said, "This... This... This letter was written by his old man?"
Lu Baoshi laughed loudly and said, "Yes, is there any other problem?"
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "There is naturally no problem with this letter. ”
The sky is full of stars, and the mountain wind hits people.
After returning from the reception banquet, Bai Cheng thought about tomorrow's plan several times, and felt that there was no flaw, so he went to bed to rest.
It's just that for some reason, he was a little irritable, and he lay down for more than half an hour, and he couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and went for a walk in the courtyard.
was strolling along the path in the courtyard, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, Lin Su was still carrying a wine jug in one hand and a fat chicken in the other, and was walking towards him.
Bai Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Receiving the wind banquet in the evening, didn't Brother Lin eat enough?"
Lin Su also shook his head and said, "You Feixingmen have too many rules, this one also comes to toast, and that one also comes to toast, how can you have time to eat?"
Bai Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
Lin Su also took a bite of the fat chicken and asked, "Why can't you sleep?"
Bai Cheng let out a sigh and said, "To be honest, the junior brother is a little nervous. ”
Lin Su was still trembling, almost throwing away the fat chicken, and said in surprise: "Brother, are you kidding." I see that my brother doesn't care about life and death a few times, and you will be nervous too?"
Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's different, in the past, the junior brother made a move, and the victory or defeat was only related to the younger brother alone, even if he lost his life, it was just his own business." However, what the younger brother will do tomorrow is very important. Once it doesn't work, don't say that the master's revenge can't be avenged, even the two uncles Cheng and Lu are worried about their lives. ”
Lin Su was still stunned and said, "It turns out that you are worried about them. ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, the younger brother is afraid that he will live up to their trust." ”
Lin Su was still silent, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Senior Brother Jin won't think so. ”
Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Brother Lin is talking about Jin Jiaqi, Mr. Jin?"
Lin Su also nodded and said, "Not bad." Senior Brother Jin is my master's eldest disciple, and my master has not been in charge of things much over the years, and the life and death of our branch can be said to be all related to Senior Brother. ”
Bai Cheng sighed and said, "Mr. Jin must be under a lot of pressure. ”
Lin Su also shook his head and said, "You are wrong, Senior Brother Jin has never been worried about pressure. ”
Bai Cheng blurted out, "How is it possible, does he never take you to heart?"
Lin Su also said: "Senior Brother Jin is the most loyal disciple of the master for our team, who is not afraid of life and death. ”
Bai Cheng was surprised and asked, "Then why is he not stressed?"
Lin Su pondered for a moment and said, "I also asked Senior Brother Jin this question. I remember he said that in the affairs of the world, it is enough to have a clear conscience, and as for the rest, it is not our responsibility. ”
Bai Cheng thought about it for a while, felt that his whole body suddenly became relaxed, and said, "Mr. Jin is high-minded, junior brother understands." ”
Lin Su also laughed and said: "It's good that you understand, you and my senior brother are all the way, and they take these things too seriously, unlike me who just eat and drink." ”
Bai Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Lin's realm is too high, and I don't know what year or month the junior brother will be able to catch up." ”
The two were talking in the courtyard when they suddenly heard a "swish", which seemed to be the sound of the wind scraping the clothes of night walkers.
When Bai Cheng heard the voice, he didn't have time to say hello to Lin Su, and when he mentioned the light skill of "chasing cicadas in eight steps", he flew and chased after him.
Lin Su was still standing in place, sighed and said, "With your character, you can't catch up with my realm in this life." ”
