So, the next day, a lot of notices appeared on Lingyun Mountain.

Moreover, those small families also received invitations from the Zhong family one after another.

Of course, Murong Yingxue also received it.

And just when Shen Shuiji looked at the invitation he received and didn't know what to do, Murong Yingxue came.

"Master Murong, why are you here?" Shen Shuiji was a little surprised.

"Why can't I come?" Murong Yingxue pulled her face as soon as she entered the door.

Seeing that the shape was wrong, Shen Shuiji hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said, "Of course, I have something to tell you." ”

After speaking, Shen Shuiji gave the invitation card in his hand to Master Murong.

"I received this too. Murong Yingxue didn't take it, causing Shen Shuiji's hand to stop in mid-air, so embarrassed.

"Master Murong, what do you think of this matter?" Shen Shuiji asked, thinking that this old woman was actually angry at me.

"What can I say, it seems that I shouldn't trust you. ”

"Master Murong, these words are a bit serious. Shen Shuiji was not to be outdone.

"I have always trusted you so much, I believe that you can handle this matter well, but what about this phenomenon, what should you do now?" Murong Yingxue glared at Shen Shuiji, very unhappy in her heart.

Shen Shuiji knew that this matter was indeed disappointing, but the reason was not himself, who would have thought that this Zhong Dushan would suddenly change his words.

"Master Murong, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I also want to do my best to do this well, but Zhong Dushan actually reluctantly cut his love and promised to give lotus flowers to these people. ”

"He's not the only one who can't bear to cut his love?" Murong Yingxue suddenly had something to say.

"What does this mean?" Shen Shuiji didn't know what Murong Yingxue was talking about.

"Yes, these small families all like lotus flowers, as long as anyone gives them lotus flowers, they will wag their tails at them and beg for mercy. Therefore, Zhong Dushan gave them lotus flowers, but it was said that they were reluctant to cut their love, and some people also gave them lotus flowers, but they were treacherous. After speaking, Murong Yingxue looked at Shen Shuiji viciously.

At this moment, Shen Shuiji completely understood.

It turned out that without Murong Yingxue's consent at that time, he promised to give each of these small families a lotus petal, and now, Murong Yingxue knows.

Seeing that Shen Shuiji didn't speak, Murong Yingxue continued: "What's the matter, Mrs. Chu, why don't you suddenly stop talking now?" At the beginning, it was you who said that you used to be the maid of the Zhong family, Zhong Jin hurt you, and you want to ally with me to deal with the Zhong family together, at that time, you still swore that you only need a lotus petal at that time, fool your master, and Zhong Jin's life, and all the remaining lotus flowers will belong to me." I believed you at the time, and then helped you with the pigeon business, and completely let you deal with the affairs of the small family alliance. But it's better for you to give them the lotus flowers without my consent, and what will I get when the time comes?"

Seeing that Murong Yingxue was really angry, Shen Shuiji also knew that this matter was wrong for herself, so she hurriedly said: "Master Murong, don't be angry, I could only agree to them with such conditions in order to make them all obey me, but, in fact, I lied to them. How could I give them something so precious as the lotus?"

Listening to Shen Shuiji's words, Murong Yingxue was very disdainful and said, "This is also a trick for you to deceive me in order to delay the army, right?"

"Master Murong, how dare you do this? Don't I know that relatives near and far are estranged? Those small families are just pawns used by me, but you are different, you are my ally. ”

Seeing that Murong Yingxue didn't speak, Shen Shuiji knew that she must have been shaken in her heart, and then continued: "Master Murong, in fact, I have already thought about it, when that day comes, when we destroy the Zhong family in one fell swoop, I will clean up those people from small families, and when the time comes, the entire lotus will be yours." ”

"However, now, the Zhong family has also made the same promise, and when the time comes, I'm afraid these people will not obey you. Murong Yingxue said worriedly.

"Yes, I didn't expect this Zhong Dushan to come to such a hand. Shen Shuiji's heart was also very hairy.

"By the way, Master Murong," Shen Shuiji suddenly thought of something, and then said, "When the time comes, we will say that this Zhong Dushan is also lying to them." ”

"Who will believe your words? Besides, I'm sure Zhong Dushan is here for real this time. Listening to Shen Shuiji's words, Murong Yingxue felt very funny, so she sneered.

"That," At this time, Shen Shuiji really had no choice.

"I'm worried, these small families are all grass on the wall, mercenary, now that Zhong Dushan gives them lotus flowers, they will definitely take refuge in him, and when the time comes, our affairs will be exposed. ”

"Yes, it is still reasonable for Master Murong to be worried, I just kept thinking about losing these small families, but now that I think about it, the most important thing is not anything else, but whether these small families will tell Zhong Dushan about our plan to rebel. Shen Shuiji was also very worried.

"You haven't told them about me, have you?" asked Murong Yingxue tentatively.

Listening to Murong Yingxue's words, Shen Shuiji secretly scolded in his heart, this thief, all he thinks about is himself, and he is always worried that he is not exposed at the most critical time.

So, Shen Shuiji said, "Master Murong, don't worry, I didn't say anything. Forget it, even if these small families give me out when the time comes, I'm not afraid, anyway, that Zhong Dushan already knows that I have bad intentions, so naturally I won't shy away from it, besides, I still have you, isn't it, Master Murong?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuiji wanted to burn his jade, and Murong Yingxue had no choice, so she had to say: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I won't watch you alone in fire and water." ”

Shen Shuiji also smiled perfunctorily.

"However, the current situation is that under the conditions of Zhong Dushan, these small families will definitely be tempted. Murong Yingxue said worriedly.

"Then, what should we do?" Shen Shuiji made Murong Yingxue confused in his heart.

"Forget it, it's too late to say anything, we can't do anything but wait. Murong Yingxue said, and then came to Shen Shuiji's house.

Sure enough, as Murong Yingxue expected, those small families who received the invitation began to make calculations in their hearts.

On the same day, they gathered secretly to discuss countermeasures.

"Unexpectedly, the Zhong family actually offered such conditions. One of them said, and everyone spoke.

"Yes, for so many years, the Zhong family has never made such a promise. ”

"But could this be a delaying tactic?" Of course, in addition to the surprise, there were some objections in the crowd.

"It's hard to say, Zhong Dushan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and we still can't fully believe his words. ”

"However, hasn't there been a lot of things going on in the Zhong family recently? I think this Zhong Dushan probably knows that he can't disobey the will of heaven, so he is very kind, wanting to touch God. ”

"Yes, I think so too, besides, this Zhong Dushan is also a famous person, as the saying goes, celebrities speak loudly, and with my understanding of Zhong Dushan, this person is not a person who doesn't talk much. At this time, an old man in the crowd spoke.

"But, what should Shen Shuiji do now? Didn't we already promise her?" said one of them.

His words silenced everyone.

Yes, everyone swore in front of Shen Shuiji, saying that they wanted to be the first to look forward to Shen Shuiji, and now, how to explain to Shen Shuiji, besides, he also gave Shen Shuiji so many manpower, and he had agreed to rebel when the lotus bloomed.

The old man saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "What is this, to put it bluntly, do you think that Shen Shuiji is just for us? She also has her purpose in fighting against the Zhong family, and we are just tools for her to use." ”

"yes, I knew she was using us. After listening to the old man's words, people also expressed their thoughts.

"If we are being used by others, why can't we plan for ourselves?"

"What do we say, what should we do?" everyone sat around the old man and listened to him.

The old man paused and said, "What do you think, what conditions did Shen Shuiji give us at that time?"

"She asked us to fight against the Zhong family with her, and then when the matter was done, she gave each of us a lotus petal. A man said.

"Yes," the old man continued, "then what do we have to pay to get this lotus?"

Everyone stopped talking.

Because everyone knows that if you want to get the lotus, you have to meet the Zhong family under the leadership of Shen Shuiji.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old man continued to be kind and seductive: "Think about it, this Zhong family, for hundreds of years, has been the martial arts master of this Lingyun Mountain, especially that Zhong Dushan, plus his two sons, to be honest, we are not his opponents at all, although Shen Shuiji also knows some martial arts, but everyone knows that she is just an assistant, and she can't be a big deal at all." ”

The old man's words are not unreasonable.

It was only at this time that people began to really start worrying about their fate.

"But now we have a different path before us. The old man continued: "According to Zhong Dushan's meaning, each of us can get a lotus petal, so why should we cooperate with that Shen Shuiji and risk our lives to do such a thing? ”

"That's right, if Shen Shuiji really just gave us such conditions, we don't need to listen to him. ”

"However, I remember that Shen Shuiji said at that time that every time the lotus blooms in the future, he will give us a lotus petal. At this time, someone suddenly remembered.

So, everyone's eyes turned to the old man.

"That being said, however, the lotus flower only blooms once in thirty years, even according to Shen Shuiji's words, we can get such a lotus in the future, but thirty years, another generation, as for the affairs of our children and grandchildren, how can we take care of it? Besides, compared to Shen Shuiji, I still prefer to believe in Zhong Dushan, who can know if this Shen Shuiji gave us a blank check. ”

The old man's words woke everyone up again, yes, Zhong Dushan is a person with a head and a face after all, and he also has credit in Lingyun Mountain, but this Shen Shuiji, his eyebrows are all calculating, and no one knows what kind of plans this person who has never appeared in his heart.

In this way, everyone has a plan in their hearts.

This plan is to no longer pay attention to Shen Shuiji, but to be safe and sound, waiting for the lotus feast.
