I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 240

Chapter 240 - Deal

Looking at Xiang Yun's large hand holding hers, Luo Ning's eyes were filled with disbelief!

Xiang Yun's guts … how did they become so big? He actually dared to be so frivolous!

However, Xiang Yun turned a blind eye to this. Instead, he exerted a little strength, stroking Luo Ning's soft and tender hands. His actions were like those of a wretched fortune-teller who had taken advantage of a little girl on the street.

Xiang Yun suddenly laughed, "Luo Ning, don't you still have so much good wine? It's a rare occasion for City Lord Lu to be here tonight. It's boring just eating buns. Why don't we drink a few cups?"

Luo Ning's gaze met Xiang Yun's for a moment, only hesitating for a moment. In the next moment, Luo Ning's face suddenly turned somewhat bashful. Extremely embarrassed, she withdrew her small hand.

"Yes!"

Luo Ning lowered her head and gave a soft "hmm", just like a shy girl who agreed to her lover's request.

In the next moment, a dim light flashed across the ground and two huge wine jars appeared!

"Haha, City Lord Lu, we are truly blessed tonight. The wine that Luo Yuan brought out is a 100 year old osmanthus flower."

When Lu Yongchang saw the wine, his eyes immediately lit up. Usually, he did not drink any good wine in the house.

Xiang Yun then asked, "Right, where are those eight brothers? Why haven't they returned yet? The more people drink, the more lively it will be!"

"They should be back soon!" Lu Yongchang replied.

"Very well, we'll wait for them. It must have been hard on them today."

Naturally, Lu Yongchang had no objections to Xiang Yun's suggestion. The three of them then waited together for the eight to return.

Along the way, Xiang Yun said that he was a little anxious, so he went to the right side of the gorge. It was convenient to go behind a huge boulder, after all, it was the wilderness.

By the time Xiang Yun returned, the eight black robed Death Soldiers had just returned. The blood stains and water vapor on everyone's bodies had already been dealt with.

Naturally, none of the eight people disagreed when Xiang Yun invited them to drink. Immediately, Xiang Yun personally picked up the wine jug and poured the wine into each wine cup, handing it over to everyone else.

As for Luo Ning, she obediently acted like a young wife as she picked up another wine jar and poured Xiang Yun a cup of fine wine.

Xiang Yun raised his cup first and said to everyone, "Everyone, in order to find me, you have risked your lives and entered the Silvermoon Forest. I, Xiang Yun, am unable to repay you. Here, I make a promise!"

"When we safely exit the Silvermoon Forest and return to the Crown Prince's residence, I will bestow upon each of you ten thousand gold coins. As long as you are willing to travel on the path of an official, I will personally recommend you.

Hearing this, the eight men in black all looked at each other, but no one answered. Lu Yongchang suddenly frowned and shouted, "Your highness, your highness, your highness, I offer you a great reward, thank you quickly!"

"Oh oh thank you, Your Highness!"

When the eight black-clothed men heard this, they hurriedly raised their wine cups with both hands and clinked them against Xiang Yun's wine cups, immediately drinking to their heart's content.

Following that, Xiang Yun drank a cup of wine alone with Lu Yongchang, toasting the City Lord and expressing his gratitude for having saved him several times.

When everyone had finished drinking, Luo Ning, who was standing to one side, was very obedient. She picked up another wine jar and poured wine for them. Xiang Yun also picked up another wine jar and poured himself another full one.

The group sat together, the eight black robed Death Soldiers remaining silent. Most of the time, they would just drink in silence, and most of the time, it would be Xiang Yun and City Lord Lu drinking together!

With the help of the wine, the two of them were like old friends whom they had not seen for many years. From the time they had met, to the time they had met and now that they knew each other, they had reminisced about it.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yongchang's face was already a little red. The 100-year-old osmanthus flowers were indeed intoxicating. Even he, who was at the peak of the Mystic Cloud Realm, was feeling a little intoxicated.

He patted Xiang Yun on the shoulder, saying sincerely, "Your Highness, tell me the truth. Let's not talk about everything else. Your business mind simply has nothing to say. If you weren't born in the Imperial Family, you would definitely be a top merchant!"

"Haha …" Xiang Yun raised his head and laughed, one hand on Lu Yongchang's shoulder.

"City Lord Lu,

I will also tell you the truth, you are too kind, only not to yourself, a martial arts master, yet to no one you have the dignity and dignity, your life, isn't it a little boring, haven't you considered the possibility of changing to another way of life? "

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang was stunned. He let out a burp, and then suddenly said with a serious tone, "Yes, and I think it will be very soon!"

Xiang Yun's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Lu Yongchang. He gave a thumbs-up, but did not say anything. He only smiled.

Seeing Xiang Yun's brilliant smile, a gleam flashed across Lu Yongchang's eyes. He suddenly raised his goblet and looked at Xiang Yun, saying this without any forewarning.

"Your Highness, can you speak the truth again? Do you take me as a friend? A true friend!"

Xiang Yun nodded, then shook his head. In the end, he only said two words.

"Yes!"

In Lu Yongchang's sleepy eyes, there was a trace of confusion.

With a smile on his face, Xiang Yun suddenly turned to look at the distant sky. The sky was dark now, with no bright moon at all.

"I am a man of melancholy in the human world. I know why you cry so much, and I will never forget you for the rest of my life!"

Everyone stared at the stream and raised their heads to look at the back of the young man in the vast starry sky. All of them were in a daze. One could tell that the young man was a bit lonely and a bit sad!

Suddenly, Xiang Yun turned his back on the crowd and said calmly, "City Lord Lu, we still need to be good friends. Before you can make your move, finish me off!"

"Boom!"

This short sentence instantly froze the atmosphere of the entire audience!

The eight men in black stood up. The wine cup that was just raised in Lu Yongchang's hand quietly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!

Only Luo Ning, who was sitting upright on a tree stump, had a cold expression on her delicate face. From the moment she saw Lu Yongchang, she had already felt suspicious!

The atmosphere was frozen. After a period of deathly silence, Lu Yongchang turned around and beckoned the eight men in black to sit down.

Immediately, Lu Yongchang turned his gaze to Xiang Yun's back once more. His face was as dark and simple as a farmer's, calm and unperturbed as he spoke.

"Your Highness, so you already know everything."

Xiang Yun was still facing the crowd as he smiled and said, "Why don't you try and defend yourself?"

Lu Yongchang shook his head, "I don't want to lie to Your Highness anymore. Besides, I don't think it's necessary?"

"Heh heh, there's no need?" Xiang Yun repeated this sentence, seemingly mocking himself.

He slowly turned around, his face as calm as dead water. Xiang Yun walked step by step back to his seat and sat down. He picked up his own wine cup and drank a cup under everyone's gaze.

"Still not making a move?" Xiang Yun raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yongchang.

Lu Yongchang smiled and waved his hand.

"There's no rush. Since His Highness already knows everything, let's chat for a while longer."

"Based on our many years of friendship, it won't be too late for you to finish this wine jug and then set off. I still have many questions for you, Your Highness!"

Xiang Yun lifted up the wine jar and poured himself a cup of wine. He extended his hand and gestured, "If you have any questions, feel free to speak!"

"This official wants to know when His Highness began to suspect me, and when he confirmed his suspicions. I want to know where I found a flaw!"

Xiang Yun placed the wine jar to the side and listened attentively before nodding as he spoke.

"City lord Lu's methods were watertight, with not the slightest flaw after so many years. I would never suspect you even in my dreams, but that time at the hunt outside the city made me feel a little perplexed, causing me to be unable to sleep or eat at ease for some time."

"Oh what?"

Xiang Yun continued, "City Lord Lu, do you remember when we first encountered that Black Fire Double Headed Python during the hunt?"

"At that time, we were fleeing towards the camp and were almost killed by that beast several times. It was you, City Lord Lu, who saved us in time."

At that time, I truly felt grateful from the bottom of my heart and felt that City Lord Lu had saved my life. I knew that behind you, there was actually a double-headed serpent with red scales on its back.

"Scale?" Hearing this, Lu Yongchang was surprised for a moment. Obviously, he did not understand what was going on.

Xiang Yun explained, "That day, City Lord Lu only used one move to force back the Mystic Fire Double Headed Python. The scales exploding in the sky were all sent flying in the northwest direction.

If you fly with the wind, you won't be able to fly back and land on City Lord Lu's back. "

"Therefore, I'm guessing that before this, City Lord Lu had already come into contact with this serpent. Or rather, it could be said that he was obeying your orders to kill me!"

"Then I recalled that the shopkeeper who sold me medicine back then, his entire family, has disappeared. You, the city lord diligently and diligently managing the Qin Feng City, yet you know nothing at all."

"In the end, you promised me you would investigate and that it would be a silent pursuit. I was also wondering if the owner of this pharmacy, even if he was a pawn you arranged for me, would also want to kill me!"

Lu Yongchang was suddenly enlightened, "It seems that I was really careless. Your Highness, just based on these two points, you were able to determine that I was the one who harmed you?"

Xiang Yun shook his head, "Of course not. I was only suspicious of you back then; after all, the image you've built up in my heart will not crumble so quickly."

"I was thinking that if you want to harm me during the hunt outside the city, you must have decided to make a move against me. If you fail once, there will naturally be another time!"

"Therefore, I intentionally sent Fatty Niu to test you, revealing that I left the city by myself and went to enjoy the scenery outside the city." So, I intentionally sent Fatty Niu to test you, revealing that I left the city by myself.

"As for myself, I actually did not leave. Instead, I was waiting for an opportunity to charge straight for the City Lord's Mansion on another carriage."

"If you hadn't been in the palace at that time, my guess would have been correct. But I didn't expect you to still be in the residence. This instantly lowered my suspicion towards you to the lowest."

Xiang Yun raised his wineglass, signalling to Lu Yongchang. The two of them actually raised their wineglasses, clinking them together lightly, each calmly drinking the wine within.

Lu Yongchang smiled and said, "That time, I was indeed almost tricked. In fact, I have already set off to the outskirts to search for traces of His Highness. But halfway through, I suddenly remembered something you told me before."

Lu Yongchang recalled, "I remember that at that time, in my house, when the lotus flowers were blooming in a pond, I sent someone to invite His Highness over to admire the flowers. But His Highness rejected it and said that it was better to 'pick flowers' than 'pick flowers'. You never do such boring things like admiring the flowers."

"Then I suddenly thought, with Young Master Niu's character, how could he possibly return the things he lent me?"

"This time, I also noticed that His Highness might have some suspicions towards me, but it was only suspicion. Thus, I became more cautious and prepared to make a move later. Moreover, it was a one hit kill."

Xiang Yun laughed bitterly, "So that's how it is. It seems that I've been too careless!"

"That's right, you invited Snow Dragon Sect's Zheng Heshan to kill me, right?"

When Lu Yongchang heard this, he laughed out loud, "That's right. Back then, His Highness asked me for a map of the Silvermoon Mountain Range. I know that you will definitely pay a visit to the Silvermoon Mountain Range."

"And that Zheng Heshan is ambitious, he wants to become the overlord of the Silvermoon Mountain Range, he needs me to support him. And earlier, you and Young Master Niu crippled his only son's Dantian. He still harbors hatred for you."

After all, I do not wish to personally kill you. Firstly, I will not bear to do so, and secondly, I will leave a trace behind.

"Too bad he couldn't kill me!"

Lu Yongchang nodded and said, "I already knew he was a trash, but I didn't expect him to be so useless. Even a Mystic Cloud Realm expert like him couldn't handle a Mystic Cloud Realm expert."

Suddenly, he asked, "Your Highness, since Zheng Heshan attacked you, why did you not mention a word about him asking about you earlier, only saying that it was his son who murdered you?"

Xiang Yun smiled, "What I think is, if you didn't make your move tonight and returned to Qin Feng City, you would've definitely suspected Zheng Heshan. When that time comes, you two dogs will bite each other, and both of you will suffer losses. I'll just sit back and take advantage of you, won't I?"

Lu Yongchang thought deeply and said, "Your Highness' move was brilliant, but that Zheng Heshan was just a piece of trash. He didn't do enough, how could he threaten me!"

Xiang Yun shook his head and said, "That's not entirely true. If it weren't for Zheng Heshan this time, it would have been difficult for me to notice that something is out of the ordinary!"
