Chapter 245: A Broken World
"Opportunity?
Master Lu scoffed and didn't care much.
"You can also see that after the destruction of the Tartars, there are many houses and fields left in the city. Zheng Shipang was overjoyed in his heart, although the other party's tone was still so impulsive, but since he was willing to speak, it meant that there was still a glimmer of hope, so he continued to persuade: "If these assets continue to be vacant, wouldn't it be a waste?" So I plan to set up a yamen and collect these properties and fields into the government, so as to give full play to their role. ”
"So you found me?"
Lu Shikui's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at Zheng Shipang with a surprised look.
Zheng Shipang closed his head and replied, "That's right. You are the son of the Duke of Chongguo, and if you had come forward, I believe that you would have convinced the people of the city. ”
Although the Lu brothers are indeed bad, the power they have cultivated in Xiangyang for many years is not so easy to solve, and they secretly don't know how many people are watching these fields, so Zheng Shipang took a fancy to Lu Shikui's identity and wanted to use his identity to suppress those people.
Lu Shikui shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, I refuse!"
"Why? This is a great opportunity, why do you want to refuse?" Zheng Shipang was surprised, he had thought that the other party would agree.
Lu Shikui replied: "It's nothing, it's just not interested." With that, he lifted up a jar of wine on the table and brought it to his mouth, letting it spill all over his face, and did not pay any attention to it.
"You-"
Zheng Shi Pang was annoyed, just because the other party looked like this, he really couldn't accept it.
"It's just some setbacks, how did you end up like this?"
After saying that, Zheng Shipang threw his long sleeves and left Lu Shikui directly, no matter how he said it, he was also the son of Zheng Yuanlong, and he was still a little arrogant, but now he was annoyed by Lu Shikui's attitude, so he was naturally annoyed and waved away directly.
Seeing Zheng Shipang leave, Lu Shikui sneered: "Some setbacks? Maybe it's like this for you, but for me, it's the whole world." His eyes fell on the wine cup, and his appearance was reflected in the ripples, because he had never been Dali, his face was covered with stubble, and there were some suspicious filths hanging on it, without the posture of the young man in the angry horse and fresh clothes before.
"The world has collapsed, and there is no place for me here?"
With this last glass of wine in his mouth, Lu Shikui fell asleep.
Now he is just an alcoholic.
I don't know how long it was, but when he woke up, the restaurant was already closed, and the door was dark, but it was night.
"Shop, checkout!"
beckoned to the shopkeeper, and Lu Shikui took out a piece of silver from his bosom and planned to settle the bill.
"I'm sorry officer, your account has already been settled!"
The shopkeeper bowed down and pushed the silver back.
Lu Shikui was a little surprised, and asked, "Who is it?" Zheng Shipang's face couldn't help but rise in his mind, and the only person who met him during this time was Zheng Shipang.
"It's me. ”
At this moment, I saw that Jin Ming walking in from outside the door.
Lu Shikui was suddenly surprised, and shouted in a low voice, "It's you?"
Maybe the people of the Huaxia Army don't know, but Lu Shikui, as a Song general, naturally knows that the person in front of him is Wang Lixin's favorite general, and his strength is not below him, and he has always been trusted by Wang Lixin, and has been given a considerable responsibility.
Now that he has appeared in Xiangyang, what is this person for?
"That's right, it's me. Jin Ming bowed, with a warm look on his face.
"Then what are you doing here? Don't forget, now this Xiangyang no longer belongs to the Song Dynasty, and its current owner is the Huaxia Army. Lu Shikui smiled bitterly, just because of his embarrassing identity now.
As a former Song general, he couldn't convince himself no matter what, especially in the face of such a former rival.
Jin Mingdao: "I know, so I appeared here." ”
"Oh, so you're coming to me? just to disappoint you, and you'd be wrong if you wanted me to help. Lu Shikui shook his head and refused directly: "You must know that I am just an unfilial son who has lived up to my father's expectations, and I am not worthy of your attention." ”
Jin Ming's expression darkened, and he raised his spirit again, and asked, "Really?"
Just as Lu Shikui thought, he was indeed asked by Wang Lixin to go to Xiangyang, hoping to use the past forces in Xiangyang to buy them enough time, which is why Jin Ming appeared here.
"What do you think? You must know that now that Xiangyang is gone, what else is there to ask?" Lu Shikui replied angrily.
Zheng Shipang is like this, and Jin Ming is the same, all of them are thinking about his identity and want to get something from him, but Lu Shikui is already tired, and he doesn't want to pay attention to these annoying things at all, he just wants to be immersed in a dream, and only in the illusion made of alcohol can he find a little feeling.
"That's just as well. ”
Jin Ming thought thoughtfully, and then responded: "It's just that I'm worried about your current situation. It's all out of a friend's point of view, and it won't be good for you if you continue to practice like this. Do you know that?"
"Of course I know. ”
Lu Shikui began to feel irritable, and he vented his emotions at Jin Ming.
"But what do you want me to do? Do you know what I see every day when I open my eyes? Blood, ruins, and corpses, the guys who crawled in and killed all my friends and comrades, appeared in my dreams every day, and I didn't sleep well. Taking a wine bottle in his hand, Lu Shikui looked at the wine bottle with demented eyes, and laughed at himself: "So I started drinking." These are the only things that can make me sleep quietly, otherwise I would have gone crazy. ”
Obviously, because of the wrong things he had done, Lu Shikui has been torturing himself.
Jin Ming sighed slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, then don't you think about doing something?" I don't think your father wants to see you like this?"
"Do things, what else can I do with the way I am now?" Lu Shikui shook his head, his eyes were full of difficulties, without his father's help, he really didn't know what else he could do.
Jin Ming complained: "Many things, I believe that as long as you are willing to look for them, you can always find them." Isn't it?"
"Really?"
Lu Shikui read it in his mouth, and Zheng Shipang's face suddenly flashed in his mind.
What the man said at the beginning, maybe it was also an opportunity?
Jin Ming encouraged: "That's right. I'm sure if you get up, you'll be able to do something. Your father's spirit in heaven will also be pleased. ”
"Well, then I'll listen to you. Lu Shikui smiled reluctantly, but he paid attention in his heart, and planned to find Zheng Shipang next, expressing his willingness to help.
Although the plan proposed by Zheng Shipang is a little wrong and missing, if it is really realized, it will also be of great help to Xiangyang, and in this way, it is equivalent to indirectly helping a little, Lu Shikui thought like this.
"Looks like you have a certain goal, so I'll congratulate you in advance. Jin Ming smiled, also slightly relieved.
If he wants to achieve his plan, Lu Shikui is the first step, and now that Lu Shikui is reinvigorated, it is great news for him, as for how to act next, it depends on the actions of the Huaxia Army.
In this regard, Jin Ming said that he has been looking forward to it for a long time.
