Mei Changsu nodded silently again: "Yeah."

Seeing that the Grand Empress Dowager had never looked so happy as she did today, the Empress and the others swallowed back what they were about to say.

I couldn't help but think, "The Empress Dowager has a bad memory, so it's normal for her to remember things incorrectly. Why should we argue with her about this kind of thing? As long as she's happy, isn't that enough?"

However, Nihuang, who was kneeling beside Lu Xiao, was staring at him blankly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Afterwards, Lu Xiao chatted with the old lady about some trivial matters.

The old lady was old after all, and after a while she felt a little sleepy.

Finally, a few people said goodbye and left.

After leaving the hall, Yan Yujin immediately said with a sense of relief.

"It's good to come over. The Crown Prince and Prince Yu can't still be waiting there, right? It'll be a good opportunity to get some peace and quiet when I go back."

Xiao Jingrui, who was standing by, immediately shouted, "Yujin, what kind of place is this? Be careful what you say!"

Yan Yujin said nonchalantly, "It's okay. We're all family. There's nothing to be afraid of."

At this moment, Nihuang chased out from the hall behind him.

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment."

Lu Xiao, who was about to leave, stopped immediately after hearing her voice and slowly turned around.

"What is the matter, Your Highness?"

Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui, who were standing by, were very sensible and spoke immediately.

"Then we'll go first, Sister Nihuang, you guys can chat slowly."

After saying this, the two of them took Mei Changsu away.

Lu Xiao glanced at Gong Yu and the others.

Before he could speak, several people took the initiative to speak.

"Master, we will go down first."

Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

After everyone left, Nihuang spoke.

"It's too stuffy in the warm room. It's not suitable for a group of soldiers like me. Chatting in the forest; (six) The autumn breeze is cool. If Mr. Lu doesn't mind, could you please walk with me?"

After hearing this, Lu Xiao laughed.

“Of course.”

Nihuang was very satisfied after hearing this, and then turned and walked towards the corridor next to her.

Lu Xiao followed closely behind.

In this way, the two of them began to walk in the palace.

Before they had even taken two steps, Nihuang spoke first.

"Just now in the warm room you"

Lu Xiao interrupted her directly: "Just now, Lu was considering the old lady's feelings, so I apologize for any offense. I hope the princess will forgive me. 4.6"

Midway through his speech, Nihuang interrupted him again: "If I say I don't mind, will Mr. Lu think that such a dignified princess can be so frivolous?"

Lu Xiao immediately laughed and said, "That's not the case. I do know the princess quite well. If it weren't for your words, I'm afraid your knife would have struck me the moment I said those words."

Now it was Nihuang's turn to be dumbfounded: "Oh, you know my personality very well. I am a little curious."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "The princess, as a daughter, guards the southern border. Whether among the common people or in the martial arts world, she is a renowned figure. I admire her deeply, so it's normal for me to have some understanding of her."

After hearing this, Nihuang also smiled, then changed her tone and said directly.

"It is truly an honor for Nihuang to be admired by the poison master whose notoriety has suppressed the entire martial arts world."

Chapter 315 Lu Xiao’s Doubts

After hearing Nihuang's words, Lu Xiao also smiled and said.

"I never thought that my little reputation would be known to the princess."

Nihuang retorted, "Sir, your reputation in the martial arts world is enough to silence even the weeping of children. It's hardly a name of little consequence."

To be honest, Lu Xiao was a little surprised at the moment. Although he admitted that he was somewhat famous in the martial arts world, such fame was not enough to attract the attention of Nihuang, who commanded a hundred thousand Southern Territory cavalry.

After all, in the world of Nirvana in Fire, the presence of the Jianghu is much weaker than that of the imperial court.

In this world, the strongest people in the world basically serve various dynasties.

There are very few exceptions.

Even the ten most powerful people in the world have their own official backgrounds.

There's no way around it, this is the downside of the low-level martial arts world.

This is basically the case in any world where the upper limit of an individual's military power is not enough to defeat an entire country.

The so-called Jianghu, no matter how many stories there are, is always only a small part of the whole world.

However, from what Nihuang had just said, Lu Xiao could clearly hear that her understanding of him was definitely not limited to just a name or a nickname.

So Lu Xiao couldn't help but think: "Did I leave a loophole before?"

But after saying these 08 words, Nihuang never spoke again.

Lu Xiao was unable to confirm whether his guess was correct.

So the two of them walked on in silence.

Lu Xiao vaguely remembered that the last time he and Nihuang walked like this together was twelve years ago.

After a long time, Nihuang finally couldn't help herself.

"Sir, you're incredibly patient, actually willing to hang out with me like this. Aren't you worried about the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yu getting anxious waiting for you?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "They're not here for me, so why should I worry?"

Nihuang said, "That's because they don't know how powerful you are. Most people believe that the Jiangzuo League's current strength is the work of its leader, Jiangzuo Meilang. But I know that your contributions are no less than Mei Changsu's. After all, the Jiangzuo League was founded by the two of you. It's just that you've always been hidden behind the scenes, and most of your actions are unknown to outsiders."

"In Nihuang's opinion, your talent is definitely not inferior to that of Jiangzuo Meilang. So I have a question in my mind. I wonder if you could answer it for me."

Lu Xiao said, "It seems the princess knows a lot about the Jiangzuo League. Do you have any advice for me?"

Nihuang continued, "The world is so vast, and the Jianghu is so far away. Why on earth did you and your clan leader come to the capital?"

Lu Xiao said, "This isn't a secret. My clan leader is in poor health, and he came to the capital to recuperate at the invitation of the Ningguo Marquis' eldest son. I'm just here for the ride."

Nihuang smiled and said, "Really? There are so many places in the world. If you want to recuperate, why choose the most bustling and social capital, the capital? I don't believe that you two don't have any desire for fame and fortune."

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Whether my clan leader has any, I'm not sure. However, I came to the capital city not to choose a good tree for a good bird. I am the best tree, so why should I choose a tree? However, if you insist on giving me a reason, it's not completely without reason. I'm just afraid that you, my princess, will be angry if you hear it."

"Oh, then I'll listen more carefully."

Nihuang's curiosity suddenly piqued.

But just as Lu Xiao was about to answer, a shouting voice suddenly came from not far away.

"You're getting into trouble again, aren't you? Seeing how clumsy you are, I'm going to beat you to death today! I told you to get into trouble, I told you to get into trouble!"

The two turned around and saw a eunuch wielding a wooden stick and beating a child in servant's clothes.

After hitting the child a few times, he suddenly stopped, bent down, and took out a book from the child's arms.

After seeing the book, the eunuch became even angrier.

"Well, you even dared to steal books! You, a criminal slave born in Yeyouting, actually want to learn to read and write. Let me tell you, don't think that Prince Jing will protect you just because he likes you. There are many nobles in this palace. How can Prince Jing, a high-ranking figure, protect you?"

After saying this, he swung the stick in his hand again, hitting several times in a row, and with even greater force.

"Eunuch Zheng, I won't dare to do that again. I won't dare to do that again."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Lu Xiao.

"stop!"

As the words fell, a figure hurriedly passed by and ran towards the eunuch.

"Which card I am on is not for you, a servant, to decide."

The visitor was none other than Emperor Liang's seventh prince, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan.

At the same time, he was also the least favored of Emperor Liang's children.

Over the years, he has been sent out to lead troops in battles.

Apart from having a good reputation in the army, he has no foundation in the court.

However, his prestige in the army was not enough to enable him to compete for the throne.

Of course, this also has something to do with his current lack of interest in the throne.

Lu Xiao naturally knew him, after all, they grew up together.

But if I were to say that he liked the buffalo, he didn't particularly like this stupid, dull, and stubborn buffalo.

Prince Jing is a stubborn person. Once he makes up his mind about something, even ten oxen can't pull him back.

So, it was tiring to talk to him.

Maybe some people don't understand.

To give an inappropriate example, you could consider him a naive person who argues with reason. Once he's convinced of something, no matter what others say, he'll argue back, and nothing will convince him otherwise.

So when I talk to him, I get angry easily.

Life is still that kind of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent.

After seeing Prince Jing appear, the eunuch immediately knelt on the ground.

"This slave deserves death. Your Highness, Prince Jing, this little criminal has always been lazy and talkative, and even stole books. I was really at my wit's end, so I punished him. Your Highness, this place was ordered by Concubine Yue to supervise this slave. Please, Your Highness, for the sake of the Concubine, forgive my foul mouth."

Although he was saying words of apology, his face was full of mocking smiles.

This shows that he was certain that Prince Jing would not dare to punish him.

When Lu Xiao saw this scene, he suddenly felt something strangely familiar.

Wait, I seem to have seen this scene before?

Lu Xiao suddenly remembered.

The time that has passed is really too long.

Especially in the past twelve years, I have been suffering from a cold, and every day has been like a year.

Many of my memories from my past life are not very clear.

I just remember some key events.

Fortunately, after my body recovered, my mind became more alert.

When the scenes seen in the past life are triggered, the corresponding memories will slowly come back.

That's the case right now.

When the memories in his mind matched what was happening now, a hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in Lu Xiao's eyes.

At the same time, Lu Xiao also had a doubt in his mind.

"Why should I hide my strength? Is it really necessary?"

Chapter 316: Thoughts Clear

Lu Xiao suddenly discovered something.

The reason he had previously concealed his strength was to seek revenge in a more cruel way for Emperor Liang.

But just now, he suddenly realized that even if he wanted to seek revenge in his own way, there seemed no need to hide his strength.

It's totally superfluous.

What he was worried about was never the exposure of his strength, but the exposure of his true identity.

Because once his true identity is exposed, Emperor Liang and others will definitely kill him at all costs.

Given his temperament, he would definitely use violence to flatten everything.

If that's the case, there's no resentment.
