Olive Branch

Xia Shang? The young master of the Xia family?

How did he know?

Xia Shang's face changed, and the chopsticks he helped the middle-aged man fell on the table.

"Has he seen through my plan?"

Although Xia Shang seemed calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous since he left the house today. The person he wanted to plot against was a master of Chongmai. Although he didn't know what the realm of a warrior meant, he knew that this was the most powerful character he had ever met.

He was different from others in his time travel. He didn't have an extraordinary talent, his grandfather's ring, or his twin martial spirits. He only had knowledge accumulated from modern times. To deal with this man who called himself Liu Xun, he could only rely on wisdom and calculation, and the layout must be airtight! Any mistake in any of these links could lead to death.

This kind of threat cannot be overcome by expecting an opportunity to fall from the sky.

Now, the first variable has appeared!

The other party knew his true identity, and he must have known about himself in advance!

Xia Shang couldn't imagine why such a change came about. The only explanation was that the other party had already known his plan.

If that was true, he would be in a desperate situation now!

Xia Shang's forehead was already sweating, and he almost couldn't help but move the mechanism hidden in his clothes.

However, Liu Xun suddenly said calmly: "I have something to ask you, brother. That day you said you had a dream. In the dream, someone asked you, 'There is a bird that stops at a hill and doesn't fly or sing for three years. What kind of bird is it?' You said, 'If it doesn't fly for three years, it will fly to the sky; if it doesn't sing for three years, it will sing to shock people'. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Xia Shang paused, and the tension in his body instantly decreased a lot. His mind was full of confusion. Why did he suddenly ask this? And how did he know?

6 Xun smiled: "Brother, to be honest. If it weren't for your words, I would have reported to the King of Hell now."

Xia Shang was shocked again: "What do you mean?"

"That day, I was ordered to take your life. The young master of the Xia family was just a playboy at that time. He angered his parents to death and forced his wife away. I thought such a person was not worth dying for, so I came to take your life. But that day, I happened to see the conversation between you and the master of the Qin family in secret. The sentence "If you don't fly for three years, you will soar into the sky; if you don't sing for three years, you will sing astonishingly" left a deep impression on 6. I respect talented and virtuous people the most in my life. Your words made me admire you. I also wanted to see if you would really do something big as you said, so I took the initiative to spare you once."

"..." Xia Shang swallowed his saliva, thinking back to that day, if this person attacked by surprise, he would not be able to die even if he had ten lives.

6 Xun saw Xia Shang's nervousness, smiled kindly and patted Xia Shang's shoulder: "Brother, don't be nervous. 6 I have secretly observed you for some time. You used two hats to exchange for 10,000 taels of gold, and gave up money to win back your wife. This action deserves the name of a real man. Later, I saw you setting up a stall to tell fortunes in Yangzhou City, and just wanted to test your skills. I didn't expect you to hit the mark and calculate 6's injuries accurately. This made 6 admire you a little bit."

At this point, Xia Shang's worries were mostly gone, and he tried to stay calm and shook his head: "6 big brother, you are too serious, it's just some tricks and unconventional ways, compared with 6 big brother's peerless martial arts, it's really nothing. Not worth mentioning. "

6 Xun said seriously: "No, no, 6 is just a warrior who only knows how to kill. But you are very smart and can plan everything. If you were not a little younger, you would be called a hermit. Just by showing your feelings with two hats, one white and one green, you can see your knowledge. Although... "

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, you will be beheaded!"

6 Xun laughed: "Since you dare to send it, why do you care about what others say? That Yong Wang is mediocre and incompetent. He came to my house that day to ask me to help. He didn't expect that he was sent away by me with a few words and was unhappy. How can he accomplish great things with such a mentality? "

After saying so much, Xia Shang felt that 6 Xun had something to say!

"Brother 6, if you have something to say, just say it."

6 Xun's face straightened, he looked around, lowered his body, and said in a deep voice: "With your ability, why worry about the day of rapid rise? Why not find a good master and conspire for great things?"

"Hmm?"

"The current emperor is in danger, and the dispute among the princes has surfaced. The emperor has 17 sons, and only the eldest and second princes have the hope of winning the world. I am not talented, but I dare to ask you to give advice to the eldest prince Li Xin and conspire together..."

"Brother 6, this cannot be said, it cannot be said!"

"Brother, you really cherish talents. It is a pity that you have no place to display your abilities..." 6 Xun said, and suddenly realized that he was a little excited and a little anxious. He quickly stopped talking and sighed softly, "Sorry, I am too anxious."

After a conversation, Xia Shang's impression of this person changed a lot. Although he was a cold man, he was also straightforward and sincere.

If they were not in different positions, maybe they could really become friends...

At this time, a pot of steaming hot braised dog meat came up.

The meat, which was golden in red oil, was soft, glutinous, fragrant and spicy. You don't have to eat it, just smelling the strong spicy aroma makes people drool.

With the previous conversation, the two of them were not so unfamiliar. They took chopsticks and took care of each other and started eating.

Xia Shang couldn't eat spicy food. After eating a piece of dog meat, his eyes were red with spiciness. He drank two large bowls of water but couldn't relieve it, which made Liu Xun laugh heartily.

"Sorry, the food at home is relatively light." Xia Shang said awkwardly, and took out a package wrapped in a small handkerchief from his arms.

When he opened it, it was a few pieces of mung bean cakes.

Xia Shang took a piece and took a bite: "This mung bean cake is good for relieving spiciness."

"If it's spicy, you might as well take off your clothes. What's the point of wearing a coat in such a hot day?"

"I caught a cold recently. The doctor said I need to wear thick clothes to sweat before I can recover."

After a casual conversation, the two continued to eat the delicacies on the table.

Perhaps because he was afraid of the spiciness, Xia Shang ate very little.

On the contrary, the strong taste of dog meat suited Liu Xun very well. Soon, a pile of bones was placed in front of him, and he drank three pots of wine.

Suddenly, Xia Shang covered his stomach: "Brother, I...I...I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I need to go to the bathroom."

Liu Xun nodded, and Xia Shang ran away.

The toilet of the dog meat shop was between several old trees at the back. It was built with bricks and stones on four walls and a shed roof. It was very simple.

Liu Xun didn't care what Xia Shang did. When the bowl of dog meat was almost finished, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and it was too spicy. He drank a few more sips of wine, but there was no improvement. He saw the mung bean cake on the table, thought about it, and finally picked up a piece.
