Mei Changsu was speechless when these words came out.
This person is really bad..
Chapter 326 Post-event reaction
Mei Changsu could also understand why Lu Xiao wanted to scare Emperor Liang.
But having said that, it's really quite satisfying.
When Mei Changsu thought about Emperor Liang being unable to sleep every night, he felt a little secretly happy.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach this child for you, but you should at least give me some benefits, right?"
This wasn't something he actively sought, but something Lu Xiao brought to him.
It's a waste not to kill.
Lu Xiao smiled maliciously and asked, "What do you want?"
Mei Changsu said, "I'm not greedy. Please give me more of that wine. One small gourd a month really isn't enough."
This isn't greedy.
That's a beautiful thought.
If Tingsheng was really just an ordinary child, Lu Xiao might actually accept him.
After all, compared to the future of his own apprentice, a little wine is nothing.
But now the situation is different.
Lu Xiao immediately said, "Alright, I see right through you. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Tingsheng is Brother Jingyu's child. I wonder what Brother Jingyu would think after seeing your mercenary side. Tsk tsk tsk~~~ If you don't want to teach me, then forget it. If I can't beat you, I'll invite some great scholars to help Tingsheng. I think Mr. Zhou will give me that favor."
Lu Xiao mentioned that Mr. Zhou's reputation among Daliang's scholars was somewhat similar to that of Zhuang Mohan in the Joy of Life world.
He is a true reader.
However, Mei Changsu's focus at the moment was not on this, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
"What did you say? Whose child is he?"
Lu Xiao said, "Brother Jingyu, Xiao Jingyu, Prince Qi of Great Liang, Xiao Jingyu, did you hear that clearly? If not, why would you think I'm fine today? Why would you be angry? That old guy, the Liang Emperor, deserves death."
This time, Mei Changsu did not refute Lu Xiao's last words, but stared at Tingsheng in a daze.
When his eyes fell on the other person's, he couldn't help but mutter.
"Like, really like."
Then he said directly, "Okay, from now on I will take two hours every day to come here and help him with enlightenment."
Lu Xiao said, "That's more or less okay, but I still have to remind you that living in the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion isn't very convenient for you right now, especially after the commotion I caused today. I'm sure people will bother you in the future. If you have time, you should buy a garden in Jinling as soon as possible. Try to make it as large as possible. The courtyard I live in now is really a bit small."
The courtyard where Lu Xiao currently lived was previously used to help Gong Yu conceal her identity.
Therefore, it is naturally not the kind of courtyard that is too high-profile.
But after hearing this, Mei Changsu immediately became unwilling.
“Why should I buy it?”
Lu Xiao said, "Isn't that part of your plan? If you don't buy the garden, how can you deceive the Crown Prince, reap the benefits, and help Tong Lu get revenge? Besides, I'm not in charge of the accounts in the alliance, so how much money do I have?"
This is not a lie, I've said it before, Lu Xiao is really poor.
Although he has other ways to make money, he has a large family and a lot of people to support.
In addition to the intelligence network he had established, there were several other places where he could make money.
He had previously felt that his time was running out, so in order to prevent his death from affecting the development of the forces he had established for revenge, he had already distributed the several financial resources he controlled.
Although he is fine now, he still wants to save face.
You can't just change your mind and take back the things you just distributed, right?
Not to mention that this would hurt people's hearts, he couldn't pull it off without showing any shame.
Of course, this is for other people.
Regarding Mei Changsu's words, Lu Xiao still felt comfortable enough to trick him.
In the end, Mei Changsu had no choice but to leave in a huff.
When Lu Xiao and Mei Changsu were arguing with each other.
Inside the palace, Emperor Liang finally woke up.
After waking up, he subconsciously wanted to move, but suddenly felt a terrible pain in his knees.
In the midst of confusion, he finally recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.
Emperor Liang panicked.
"Where's the immortal? Where's the immortal?"
Hearing Emperor Liang's shout, a large group of people immediately ran in.
From serving eunuchs to becoming imperial physician.
From a senior official in the court to a prince.
Basically, the people who could get close to Emperor Liang's bed were all his trusted confidants.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
A crowd shouted in worry.
After hearing everyone's voices, Emperor Liang finally calmed down a little.
He took a deep breath and then spoke.
"Where is that immortal?"
Everyone immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the immortal has left. Everything is fine now."
Emperor Liang's face was filled with bitterness. "How can it be alright? My legs, the reputation of Daliang, are all gone this time. And my lifespan—ten years, that's ten years! Have I really been slashed from this lifespan?"
Everyone looked at Emperor Liang's white hair and aged face, and lowered their heads one by one. No one dared to speak.
When a person is severely frightened, he or she will appear older instantly.
However, whether it was the Crown Prince or Prince Yu, when they lowered their heads, their eyes sparkled with joy.
If Emperor Liang died sooner, the two of them would have been able to ascend the throne sooner.
They will naturally be happy.
After seeing everyone's expressions, Emperor Liang was now completely convinced that he had lost ten years of his life.
“.Cough cough cough ~ cough cough cough ~”
In his excitement, he coughed up blood again.
Everyone panicked.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"
Emperor Liang forced himself to shout, "How can I take care of myself? Meng Zhi, where is Meng Zhi?"
Meng Zhi, who was guarding outside the door, rushed in immediately.
"I'm here!"
Emperor Liang hurriedly said, "Go quickly and find out the whereabouts of that immortal."
As soon as these words came out, all the court officials panicked.
"Your Majesty, no! We must not anger the immortals at this moment, or Daliang will be doomed."
The shock they felt today from the flying swords in the sky was truly immense.
After hearing their words, Emperor Liang immediately said, "I am not confused. I don't need you to remind me. My intention is to find that immortal and personally apologize to Li and Zhao. No matter what, I will find a way to completely appease the immortal's anger and seek forgiveness."
In order to regain ten years of his life, Emperor Liang didn't care about his reputation at all.
Wang Mu Mansion in Yunnan.
"Sister, sister, what is your relationship with that immortal? Is he really attracted to you?"
Mu Qing asked excitedly.
After leaving the palace, he kept talking all the way.
Ni Huang said helplessly, "I've told you so many times, he and I have nothing to do with each other, we just met by chance."
Mu Qing pouted and said, "Do you think I believe you? If it was just a chance encounter, how could you walk around the palace and talk with him? I know you, you still haven't forgotten Brother Tuizhi. But then again, I suddenly feel that the immortal just now and Brother Tuizhi are quite similar."
Nihuang asked: "How are they similar?"
Mu Qing said, "I can't really put my finger on it. Even though they look different, I just have this indescribable feeling."
Chapter 327 Neon Phoenix's Intuition
After hearing Mu Qing's groundless speculation.
Nihuang said angrily, "Alright, stop making wild guesses. When I first met him, I had no idea he was no longer a mortal. I thought he was just the Second Lord of the Jiangzuo Alliance."
Mu Qing asked, puzzled, "Then why did you take the initiative to approach him? Our Prince Mu's Mansion and the Jiangzuo League have never had any connection. Since you didn't know he was an immortal, you couldn't possibly approach him just because he's the Second Sect Leader of the Jiangzuo League, right?"
A touch of reminiscence crossed Nihuang's face. "You just said that he resembled Brother Tuizhi. Actually, I've had similar feelings before. Do you remember two years ago when Nanchu raised its army and fought on the Qingming River? We couldn't break their Lianzhou Iron Chain tactics."
Mu Qing suddenly remembered: "How could I forget? Back then, they used iron chains to link boats and huge warships as a camp, marching straight into the heart of our southern border. Sister was so worried and anxious, there was really no way to break through. We even nearly lost Qingming Pass."
Ni Huang nodded and said, "That's right. If it weren't for Mr. Long's help, we would never have been able to break through."
Mu Qing said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Long's military tactics are truly remarkable. He first used fire to break the Nanchu iron chain boats, and then, with only 5,000 soldiers, he defeated the 50,000 Nanqing troops and threw them into disarray. This kind of military strategy is truly unprecedented."
His tone was full of emotion.
But Nihuang said, "You have indeed never seen this kind of military strategy, but I have seen it before, and more than once."
"Huh? Who? How come I don't know?" Mu Qing asked in confusion.
Nihuang immediately said, "You were still young at the time, so naturally you didn't have the chance to witness it firsthand. You're actually quite familiar with that person; it's your brother Tuizhi. While Mr. Long's military tactics differ greatly from your brother's, the core principles are exactly the same: thunder-like movements, wind-like movements, attacking later but arriving first, separations and reunions, ever-changing strategies, and using lightness and speed to defeat the enemy. This is the military formation of your brother Tuizhi, one of the four military forces."
"Besides himself, in the past twelve years, I've only seen this kind of fighting style in Mr. Long, so I was suspicious of his identity at the time. After some secret investigation, I finally discovered that his identity was indeed a forgery."
After hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder you sent people to follow Mr. Long when he left? You don't think Mr. Long is related to Brother Tuizhi, do you?"
Nihuang nodded. "Indeed, at first I thought he was related to Brother Tuizhi, but later I didn't think so anymore. I felt like he was Brother Tuizhi. This feeling was completely illogical, but that's what my heart told me. Unfortunately, by the time I became suspicious, the war was already over. I tried to persuade Mr. Long to stay, but he refused. Finally, out of desperation, I came up with the idea of following him."
"What happened next?" Mu Qing asked.
Nihuang said, "At the time, I sent out only our elite troops. He didn't notice anyone pursuing him along the way, but when we reached Jiangzuo, he suddenly vanished without a trace. I've tried many methods over the past two years, but I still haven't been able to uncover his true identity."
Mu Qing said: "Oh, so that's why you suspect the Jiangzuo League?"
Nihuang said, "In Jiangzuo, without the Jiangzuo Alliance's help, who could have cut off our pursuit so cleanly?"
The tone was very affirmative.
"Sister, could Mr. Long be the Second Chief of the Jiangzuo Alliance? Otherwise, we wouldn't both have that illusion at the same time, right?"
Mu Qing looked excited.
Nihuang said, "Ever since I pinned my suspicions on the Jiangzuo League, I've spent the past two years gathering intelligence on them. Finally, after various investigations, I've determined that there are only two people within the Jiangzuo League who could possibly be Mr. Long."
"One is the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, Mei Changsu, the Meilang of Jiangzuo, and the other is the second leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, the poisonous scholar Lu Xiao."
"Later, I discovered that when we fought the Southern Chu war two years ago, the Jiangzuo Alliance's leader, Mei Changsu, had a clear whereabouts in the martial arts world. Conversely, the second leader, Lu Xiao, kept a low profile, and few people noticed his movements. Therefore, when I heard he was also in the capital this time, I wanted to approach him and investigate further."
Mu Qing said: "What's the result?"
Nihuang sighed helplessly, "I was almost there, especially when I was at Grandma's. I was almost certain he was Mr. Long, and Mr. Long was Tuizhi. He wasn't dead, he just had to hide. But now I can't be sure anymore."
"Huh?" Mu Qing was confused.
Nihuang asked, "If your brother Tuizhi had this much power back then, do you think he would have watched the Chiyan Army be annihilated?"
Mu Qing understood. Although he hadn't known Lu Xiao as long as his sister, he did have some understanding of his personality.
That is definitely not something that his brother Tuizhi can do.
But he still said stubbornly: "Couldn't it be that Brother Tuizhi has learned a new skill in the past twelve years?"
Nihuang asked, "Do you think it's possible to transform from a mere mortal into an immortal in just twelve years? Which of those immortals in legends didn't cultivate for hundreds or even thousands of years?"
Mu Qing stopped talking.
