songbirds don't fly

"Boss, someone brought it."

Lu Xing stood behind his sandalwood executive desk, and turned around when he heard his subordinates report.

I saw a woman who was nearly fifty years old kneeling on the ground, her legs were trembling unceasingly, describing her panic, she raised her head to meet his eyes, trembling even more.

Lu Xing said softly, "Mum Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing abroad these years?"

The woman just kept begging for mercy, and slammed her head on the ground fiercely, causing the wooden floor to thump.

Lu Xing slowly put a smile on her face, and someone next to her immediately kicked her: "Mr. Lu is asking you something! Are you deaf!"

The woman raised her head, bloodshot faintly erupted on her pale face, and the veins on her neck twitched slightly: "Young master, I really didn't say it, the heavens testify, I..."

Lu Xing said indifferently: "Oh? What is it? Why don't you tell me."

Mama Zhang didn't dare to say it clearly, but she couldn't care less about life and death, she stretched her neck and said, "Second Young Master..."

Lu Xing glanced away, and the person standing next to her immediately covered her mouth.

The woman knew she had said something wrong as soon as she opened her mouth, but it was too late, and the pair of polished leather shoes stopped in front of her.

Lu Xing squatted down slightly, staring at her protruding eyes due to fear: "Mother Zhang, you are a sensible person. Back then, I sent you abroad to feed and clothe your family. You have lived a carefree life for so many years. I kept my word, right?"

Zhang Ma knew that she would not be able to get out of this room alive, her eyes were red, and she said miserably: "Master, I have been in the Lu family since I was a child, and it is only natural that I should die here now. It's just that the men and children of my family don't know what happened back then, please let me know." On the one hand, for the sake of old grace..."

Lu Xing sarcastically said: "Old kindness? It's new..." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ma suddenly broke free from the shackles of the people behind him, and rushed forward, trying to catch Lu Xing's trousers.

Lu Xing was caught off guard for a moment, startled, and fell backwards to sit on the ground.The men raised their guns hastily.

With a "bang", a group of forest birds in the courtyard were startled.

In the room, Lu Xing's subordinates were sweating coldly, apologizing repeatedly.Lu Xing took the handkerchief and wiped off the stagnant flesh and blood on his face.

He called: "Lin Shen." Lin Shen quickly took the black cloak and followed him out the door.

The Lu family's courtyard is very large, and it was passed down from the ancestors, and each generation expanded a little bit, resulting in the current situation, especially in the hands of Lu Xing.It is said that the three things that men love most are money and women.Lu Xing asked himself that he didn't like any of these three things, but he didn't deny that he was in love with some arty things.Therefore, in the past, among the three families in the south, the situation where the Lu family was the number one was gone forever.

Lin Shen was half a step behind Lu Xing, looking at the dark woods, thoughtful.The sun was setting, and there was a warm yellow light on the blue bricks.He walked a few steps quickly, holding the black cloak in his hand.

"Mr. Lu, it's windy, put on your clothes." Lu Xing stopped after hearing this.He was slender, and the setting sun cast a long shadow behind him.Lin Shen put a cloak on the shadow and straightened his collar.

"Lin Shen," Lu Xing asked suddenly, "How many years have you been with me?" "Ten years, sir."

Lu Xing didn't speak, and after a while, Lin Shen's low voice came from the wind.

"Yesterday, I got into a fight with people from Jiangcheng in Peach Valley..."

Lu Xingdao: "You can do it. Jiangcheng has been so popular recently that even I want to give him three points." Peach Valley is Jiangcheng's territory. Will send troops without authorization.

Lin Shen said: "Jiangcheng has become too popular recently, and the Xijin that was lost last time has not been brought back..." After saying this, Lu Xing glanced at him, faintly admiring him.

Lin Shen had always felt that Lu Xing had treated him indifferently during this time, and thought he had discovered something, so he felt a little relieved now.

The sound of the fountain could be vaguely heard, and it was already dark. Lu Xing said that he would go a little further and did not visit the fountain for some time.After walking a few more steps, I saw the fountain, but I didn't expect that there was a little boy next to it.

He was standing by the fountain playing in the water. When Lu Xing saw it, he thought it was a family member of one of his subordinates. He has a soft personality and is more lenient to his subordinates. He is not strict about this aspect. He can let them roam freely in his yard. of.

Lu Xing shouted: "Children!" and beckoned him to come over.The boy looked cute, Lu Xing pinched his face, and said deliberately: "Who let you in, you will be killed if you run around in this place."

The child showed no signs of fear, his black eyes were frighteningly bright, and he opened his mouth and said, "My mother asked me to stay here, and I didn't run around casually."

Lu Xing smiled and said, "Who is your mother?"

The child said a name.

Lu Xing was taken aback, then glanced at Lin Shen.Lin Shen immediately understood, and took the child's hand: "Uncle will take you to find mother."

When he was about to leave, Lu Xing said: "Forget it." He didn't look at the child again, and said in a low voice: "Find someone at random, give some money, don't make a fuss."

Lin Shen nodded.

Lu Xing knew very little about Jiang Cheng. What he knew about him was from others, which showed that he didn't care. He stood in the perspective of a benefactor, and what Jiang Cheng was chasing was leaking out of his hands. s things.Even if there is no Jiangcheng, there will be Licheng Wangcheng.Power has been like this since ancient times, the prince's alms, the beggar's happiness.Lu Xing thinks he is a prince, so the beggar must be Jiangcheng.It's just that there used to be a Lin family that was equally divided with Jiang's family. In recent years, the Lin family has been down and out, and their sons have been sent to Lu Xing. However, the Jiang family is gradually getting better, and Lu Xing has to face it squarely.

"Where's your wife?"

Lin Shendao: "My wife went out in the afternoon and said she was going to a class reunion, so she won't come back for dinner."

Lu Xing seemed a little disappointed: "What kind of classmate again? You always run out these days, live together for a day and don't even see a single face, so you don't want to see me?"

Lin Shen smiled. He and Lu Xingsu were close friends, and they didn't have any scruples when they spoke: "Women always like to play, and the husband is always reserved, so I can't blame the wife."

Lu Xing sighed, "I'm getting old." Seemingly looking at him from the corner of his eyes inadvertently: "It's not as good as Brother Shen, Zhilian will look at you more often when we stand together and talk."

Lin Shen laughed along, a few drops of sweat oozed out of his forehead, which disappeared when the night wind blew.

Too dangerous.He thought to himself, can't wait any longer.

In the early morning night, a few ambiguous jokes came from the room.

The man's voice said: "How's the matter? Lu Xing has already warned me, it's dangerous to wait any longer."

The woman smiled coquettishly and said, "Don't worry, next month at the latest, Lu Xing won't be able to find anything, and you still don't know him?" Her pronunciation was vague, with a slight East Asian accent.

Lin Shen murmured: "That's not necessarily..." What Lu Xing showed was just the side he wanted to show them.

"I've always wondered why you wanted to kill Lu Xing? Did he treat you badly?" Zhi's thin white arms climbed up to his shoulders, with dark red nails, like an animal.

Lin Shen said: "Do you still remember that Lu Xing had a younger brother who disappeared shortly after you got married?"

Zhi was surprised: "Lu Xing killed him?"

Lin Shen said, "I don't know." But he believed in his intuition.If you want to describe Lu Xing, he thinks this man is like an iceberg, what you see is always the part of his surface.

Lin Shen thought of Lu Zhi again, Lu Xing's only brother, five years younger than Lu Xing, a very decent person.When he first came to Lu's house, Lu Zhi had been taking care of him, teaching him to read and write when he was not in school.Once Lu Xing does something unreliable, Lu Zhi will definitely be the first to stand up and stop it.Back then when Lu Xing wanted to marry this Japanese woman, Lu Zhi almost knocked off the roof of the house.Maybe it's because of this.

Also a poor man.

Zhi giggled and said, "If that's the case, then I really didn't see it."

I can't tell, who doesn't wear a mask on their faces when they come out to mess around these days.Lin Shen looked at the woman's curly hair, which looked like a handful of thick algae in the darkness.He felt suffocated, and fear seemed to be all over him.

But he just wants to live.

At the end of the month, Lu Xing celebrated his birthday, and Jiang Cheng came to the door with a congratulatory gift in person.Passing through the bustling men and women in the hall, Lu Xing sat on the sofa and saw the man at the door at a glance.Jiang Cheng's facial contours are very deep, with high eyebrows and deep eyes. He has a charm that can't be called handsome, but makes all women flock to him.Lu Xing guessed that he was half of foreign blood.

"Brother Lu." Jiang Cheng also saw him, strode forward and stretched out a hand, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things."

Lu Xing looked into his eyes, he noticed that his eyes were blue, this man had wolf-like eyes.He didn't stretch out his hand, but patted him on the shoulder: "Don't dare to be, brother Jiang is young and promising."

Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, when a woman in a cheongsam with curly short hair came towards them.Lu Xing put his arms around her waist with a smile, and introduced, "This is my wife, Zhi."

Jiang Cheng said politely: "Mrs. Lu." The woman smiled.

The matter of Lu Xing begging for a Japanese wife made a lot of noise in the city back then, but these days it is not uncommon to beat people to death in the street, so marrying a Japanese woman is naturally no big deal.Japanese women are actually very similar to Jiangnan women, Xiaojiabiyu.Jiang Cheng thought to himself that Lu Xing's woman was no different from any woman on the street, and they all had two eyes, a nose and a mouth.But there must be a reason for Lu Xing to find such a person, not only that, his reason is also obvious, only a thin layer of window paper is left untouched.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and another group of Japanese came in.Jiangcheng is hostile to the Japanese, so he avoided it early.However, Lu Xing couldn't help chattering with this group of people. The banquet was already halfway through, and many celebrities came today. He asked people to play some popular tunes, and sat on the sofa to have a few drinks with Jiang Cheng.

Lu Xingdao: "Mr. Jiang doesn't dance?"

Jiang Cheng shook his wine glass and said with a joke, "It would be my pleasure to have a song with Mr. Lu."

Lu Xing didn't mind his frivolity, and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I won't." Zhi standing next to him stood up, stepped on slender high heels, and invited, "I wonder if Mr. Jiang wants to dance with me?"

Jiang Cheng looked at Lu Xing and saw that he nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

Jiang Cheng held the catkin in front of him obediently: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Jiang Cheng used to think that he knew Lu Xing, but now he didn't necessarily.Jiang Cheng swayed slightly on the dance floor, looking over the woman's head, he saw the man sitting on the sofa in the corner, holding a red wine glass in his hand.He had never seen such a person before, Jiang Cheng thought to himself, this is getting more and more interesting.

No one expected that just one month after Lu Xing's birthday, Lin Shen and the Japanese launched a rebellion within the Lu family, and Lu Xing and his wife disappeared on the way out.Jiangcheng watched the fire from the other side, and the temporarily stable situation fell into chaos again.

Jiang Cheng never expected to see Lu Xinghui again under such circumstances.Lu Xing was only followed by two servants carrying luggage. He was dressed neatly and couldn't hide his embarrassment, but he still looked like he was attending an upper-class banquet.

Lu Xing said: "Lend me 10 people, and you will take my seat after the matter is completed."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng refused: "Brother Lu, you're out of touch now. I happen to find that the Japanese are not pleasing to the eye, so I can give you a ride."

Lu Xing mocked: "Mr. Jiang said this, I don't dare to sit in your car. After beating the Japanese, I'm afraid the second one will be Lu. I don't dare to trust you, so I can play under the boss's hands in the future." Just eat." Jiang Cheng didn't say this sooner or later, but at this time, it was obviously the weasel who gave the chicken New Year's greetings.

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "Where is Tuo Da? Since this is the case, we will be a family from now on, and my family will be your family. If I have a mouthful, you will have a mouthful."

Lu Xing was too lazy to play tricks with him. What he was worried about was that Jiang Cheng didn't ask for anything, which really made him feel uneasy. He didn't believe that there was a free lunch in the world. Whatever Jiang Cheng paid now, he would definitely get back twice as much in the future. , As for what is taken, it is hard to say.

But what choice does Lu Xing have now?

The former big brother of the Lu family succumbed to Jiangcheng's roof, and Jiangcheng's subordinates inevitably complained, and Jiang Shenyan's reaction was particularly strong.Lu Xing knew about this person, he was famous for being eloquent, and he could be used as a military adviser or a lobbyist. He sent someone to invite him, but he was turned back. He didn't expect to join Jiangcheng's command.

Lu Xing was sad and a little angry at the same time, he didn't understand why all the people went to Jiangcheng, and he had only Lin Shen who harbored evil intentions.In fact, he knew that Jiangcheng was more material than him in this respect, but such an embarrassing fact was put on the bright side, which made people feel a little resentful.

Jiang Shenyan is a very decent person, but how should I put it, justice these days is itself a joke.He quarreled in front of Jiangcheng for a few days, but seeing that it was useless, he changed to blocking in front of Lu Xingmen every day.

Before Jiang Cheng knew about it, before he could stop it, the man floated up from the bottom of the lake the next day.The person who came to report said it was done by Lu Xing himself.

Don't look at this person who has been pampered and pampered for several years. Jiangcheng knew that Lu Xing was doing this when Mr. Lu was still around, so even if he softened his hands now, he would not soften his heart.

Jiang Shenyan died, and Jiang Cheng lost an arm, but he didn't say a word.His almost ambiguous tolerance towards Lu Xing was a wake-up call for others, and Lu Xing's life suddenly became much easier.

A few months later, the end of the new year is approaching, and no matter how chaotic the situation is, it will not stop everyone from celebrating the new year.

Since the end of December, people have been sending things to Jiangcheng one after another.During the Chinese New Year holidays, people will give some things to show their filial piety, and Lu Xing also takes them every year, but seeing the boxes of things being moved into the living room of Jiang's family, he still couldn't help but be amazed, and said sourly: "Your ostentation is really big! , I didn’t get this kind of treatment before.” Jiang Cheng said modestly: “Where is the situation this year is special, it’s all thanks to Brother Lu.” The Lu family has lost power, and now he is the only one, so everyone is naturally rushing to curry favor with him.

Lu Xing made a gesture to kick, Jiang Cheng hurriedly ran away with oil on his feet.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Jiangcheng came to him with a box in his arms. Lu Xing rarely saw him like this, so he couldn't help being curious, and when he looked around, he found two paparazzi inside the box.Jiang Cheng's face was a little sweaty, and he said with a smile: "The people below said that you go to the yard all day long, knowing that you are rare, that dog was given to me by others, and I have been raised since childhood. It is not easy to give it to you, so I asked someone for two more puppies. of."

There was a golden retriever raised in the yard of the Jiang family. When Lu Xing first arrived, he still smiled secretly, thinking that only women like to raise cats and dogs.After that, every time I saw Jiang Cheng having fun with the dog, I secretly envied him over time. Sometimes I went to the backyard when Jiang Cheng was not around, but I didn't expect to be noticed and reported to Jiang Cheng.It wasn't a shameful thought at first, but Lu Xing couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Not long after the two puppies were born, they looked at people with wet eyes.Jiang Cheng saw that he really liked it, so he added one more sentence: "Keeping a dog is just for fun, don't take it too seriously."

Lu Xing didn't feel anything at the time, but when he thought about it afterwards, he was inexplicably chilled.

What is the difference between him now and those two beasts?

Years later, Lu Xing held Jiangcheng's 10 horsemen and headed northward, launching a strong counterattack against Lin Shen.

Although there are many people under Lin Shen, the management is loose and the tail is too big. The places they pass by are like locusts crossing the border. His subordinates rob property and women like robbers and bandits. They are very unpopular in the local area. disadvantage.In addition, the cooperation between Lin Shen and the Japanese was very unstable, and he was overwhelmed. He was defeated all the way to Qingxi, and there was no way to retreat a few kilometers later.

That night, Lu Xing lived in a marching tent outside Qingxi City, and slept until midnight when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

Hearing the woman's cry, he hurriedly put on some clothes and walked out of the tent. The guard outside said in a low voice, "The patrols have caught a few Japanese who ran out of the city in the dark, and they are interrogating them."

Lu Xing was wearing thin clothes, and slowly felt a chill spread from his back to his neck.He walked out and saw several people in black kneeling on the ground, the leader turned out to be a woman.

He already had a premonition, and stretched out his hand to brush away the woman's messy hair, and recognized that face.

Zhi is still crying, crying and talking.A group of people couldn't understand anyone, and the only one who could understand stood there without saying a word.

Zhi is too scared. When people are scared, they always have a lot to say when they meet familiar people, just like hugging a piece of driftwood tightly when falling into the water.But because of her extreme fear, she couldn't speak a word of Chinese, otherwise she wouldn't be exposed so easily.Chinese and Japanese are actually very similar.

But at this moment, Lu Xing couldn't hear the same Japanese words. He looked at Shiba's slightly distorted face because of fear, and thought that he had loved her.There are always people who speculate about the purpose of his marriage with Zhi, but no one thinks that maybe it is because of love.

Love is the most meaningless thing in this world.But if he thinks this way, isn't the first half of his life for this kind of emotion also meaningless?

Lu Xing touched Zhi's face, his hands were warm, but the woman's tears were cold.Should I let her go?

He thought so, but his hand pressed down involuntarily.

Zhi's body fell to the ground, her face was purple and distorted.Lu Xing didn't look at her again, he waved his hand in boredom, and made a few muffled sounds when his body fell to the ground.

He goes back to the tent.After a while, a faint fire was reflected in the tent, and the smell of burning gradually permeated.Lu Xing stared blankly at the rising blue flames, and shivered violently.

A few weeks later, Lin Shen, who was cornered, had no choice but to fight Lu Xing in Pingcheng, and was finally defeated without any suspense. .

Lu Xing was sitting in his study, the phone rang, he picked it up, Jiang Cheng's deep voice came from the receiver: "How does it feel to be the boss of the Lu family again?"

Lu Xingdao: "Not bad."

Jiang Cheng said with deep meaning: "Don't be too happy to miss Shu."

Lu Xing said lightly: "I am Shu."

Jiang Cheng laughed over there.

Lu Xing gently put down the phone, walked outside and ordered, "There are still a few bags of tea in the living room, ask them to bring them together."

Lin Shen has been imprisoned for a few days, and Lu Xing has neither eaten nor worn less these days. Lin Shen gradually calmed down from the panic at the beginning, and then he even gained some confidence in his heart.

He was sitting on the bed reading a book when the door was pushed open, Lu Xing walked in wearing a white shirt and jeans.

Most of the time, the boss of the Lu family feels ordinary and comfortable, just like someone you can see at a glance in the crowd.Even as a rival, Lin Shen has to admit that he can't fault this person, the only thing he remembers is Lu Xing's good tea, but this is nothing, it's more like something an elderly person would do .Lin Shen was naturally not afraid of such a person, what he was afraid of was the gun in Lu Xing's hand.

Lu Xing stood at the door with his back against the light, his short black hair was soft and docile, and his elongated shadow was cast on the ground, weird and hideous.

Lin Shen saw a handful of guns in his hand, and his breathing became heavy instantly.Lu Xing never carried a gun, except when killing people.

He said desperately, "Boss, please forgive me this time."

Lu Xing's expression was very gentle: "Don't talk about this, I just came to catch up with you." He went to the table and sat down. Lin Shen didn't dare to stop him, so he had to sit beside him. Back out again.

Lu Xing said slowly, "We haven't seen each other for almost two years, have we?" Lin Shen's face was sullen, he didn't dare to answer, he was only thinking about how to save his life.

Lu Xing frowned, why couldn't he see what Lin Shen was thinking, only that his younger brother was still short-sighted, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Shen, do you remember when you just followed me?"

Lin Shen said, "Remember."

Lu Xingdao: "You were only so tall at that time." He compared his hands and let out a breath very slowly: "12 years ago, Uncle Lin entrusted you to me, and I promised to train you well. Uncle Lin has a lot to me. I will never break my promise to him for saving my life. Tell yourself whether I have treated you badly in the past ten years or not. "

Lin Shen's eyes lit up, and he found an excellent excuse in an instant, and cried bitterly: "Of course, the boss has nothing to say to me. I was fascinated by ghosts for a while. I beg you to forgive me for the sake of father."

Lu Xing didn't say a word, picked up the celadon teapot on the table, flicked his wrist, and filled with white air.

It wasn't until the expression on Lin Shen's face became slightly stiff that Lu Xing took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and lifted the handkerchief. Inside was a small snuff bottle.

Lu Xingdao: "Do you know what this is?"

Lin Shen observed it carefully, but he had nothing to say after a while. This thing was not only ordinary, but even a little rough.

Lu Xing said lightly: "Don't remember? This is the first gift you gave me back then."

Lin Shen was a little embarrassed. He couldn't remember it at all, but he thought he bought it at a roadside stall when he was young.

However, people are emotional animals after all. Lin Shen looked at Lu Xing complicatedly, and there was a little truth in his eyes. At this time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper: "Boss, you are good to me, I understand in my heart... ....I just want to live." Lin Shen recalled that when he first arrived at Lu's house, Mr. Lu had just passed away, and Lu Xing was still young, so he saved Lin Shen all by himself, and never told him his heart-to-heart , and as close as a brother.But there is no reason for a person to betray, it is a man's nature to pursue power.Lin Shen thought, isn't living for power a way of living?

There was a slight sneer on the corner of Lu Xing's mouth.To live, no one wants to live, but everyone regards this as a reason, which seems to be such a lowly thing to live.He suddenly thought of another brother, did he think the same way at the time?

In any case, they will never meet again in this life.

Lu Xingdao: "Up to now, I don't want you to die." He put the gun on the table lightly, and Lin Shen was slightly shocked.Lu Xing looked into his eyes, his irises were black and brown, they were Asian eyes.

"I gave you a gun on your birthday, which is a pair with the one in my hand. If you can still find it, I will let you go."

Lin Shen looked happy, and he was uncertain about other things, but he kept the guns carefully.

A moment later, Lu Xing stroked the gun in front of him carefully. The black gun body was slightly radiant, obviously it had been well maintained all these years.

The eyes of the young man next to him were dimly lit, and there was joy in life on his fair face.

Still a kid.Lu Xing thought.He pushed the gun away and stood up.

Lin Shen said eagerly: "Boss..."

Lu Xing said, "It's not convenient to let you go now, wait until someone comes to take you out at night."

Lin Shen pulled Lu Xing's hand, his eyes were red.

Lu Xing patted the back of his hand with his other hand, moved his lips, and finally freed his hands.

When he walked to the door, he couldn't help turning his head, and saw Lin Shen standing by the window, looking in the direction of the door.

At one o'clock in the morning, a young man was sitting at the table, staring blankly at the moon outside the window.

There was a soft knock on the door.

Lin Shen stood up suddenly, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.He closed the window and picked up a bag from the table.

Before going out, he took out something wrapped in white cloth from his breast pocket, rubbed it with his fingers for a moment, and put it away carefully.

The doorknob turned slowly.

There was a crisp "bang", and the air trembled slightly.Lin Shen didn't realize it, but still stubbornly twisted the handle, for some reason the door couldn't be opened.

His hands were cold, and the palms of the hands holding the metal handle were covered with cold sweat. After a short breath, he carefully touched his breast pocket, and the contents inside were broken.

Lu Xing stood outside the door, staring at the small hole in the door.There was a muffled sound from inside the door, and after a while, stagnant blood snaked out of the door and spread to Lu Xing's feet.

Lu Xing wiped the toe of his shoe, leaving a ferocious blackened mark on the bluestone slab.

A month later, Lu Xing returned to Lintao, the headquarters of Jiangcheng, with the 10 people who had almost no losses in Jiangcheng, plus the tens of thousands who had surrendered.Speaking of which, these tens of thousands of people are still Lu Xing's old troops, and they formed a sharp contrast with Jiangcheng's troops along the way. The military discipline is loose and lazy, and they are all uncles.Lu Xing's level of leading troops was indeed not as good as Jiang Cheng's, and he also knew that he was not that material, so he simply didn't leave it all to Jiang Cheng by himself.

At the close of another year, the Lin family was completely destroyed, the Lu family collapsed, Lu Xing surrendered to Jiang Cheng, the country changed hands, and the war ceased for a while.

Afterwards, Jiang Cheng once asked Lu Xing why he didn't lead the more than [-] people back to the mountain, and Lu Xing replied indifferently: "Mr. Not even a bone left."

Jiang Cheng laughed: "Brother Lu, you don't have to belittle yourself." Lu Xing looked at his face, wishing he could rush up and beat his front teeth out.

Mr. Jiang was complacent, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that Lin Shen was brought up by you, how could you be willing to kill him?"

Lu Xingdao: "That's why I have to kill Lin Shen. Lin Shen was brought up by me, needless to say the kindness of nurturing, but he bites me first. Mr. Jiang said whether he should be killed or not?"

Jiang Cheng sighed: "Even so, brother Lu is too hard-hearted."

Lu Xing sneered: "Cut the weeds but don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles. If you don't listen to me now, show mercy everywhere, and you may fall into trouble in the future." He thought he was trying to persuade him with nice words, but Jiang Cheng didn't appreciate it at all, and even taunted him in turn. , I can't help but get angry from my heart.

However, he still unconsciously thought of that young man.Lu Xing always remembers how he was when he was a child. He is actually a very emotional person, as can be seen from his attitude towards his subordinates.Lu Xing has only had one wife so far, and has no children. He regards Lin Shen as his own brother, and even personally taught him when things were not busy in his early years.But the feelings he gave never seemed to be reciprocated.Lin Shen and Zhi are both people he once loved. He didn't understand and was unwilling, why this relationship was not cherished, until he remembered a sentence——

The wages of avarice is death.Between him and them, even if it is love, it is just love.In the rivers and lakes, either you die or I die. If this is the case, my death is not as good as your death.However, he was terrified several times at night, recalling Zhi's eyes before he died and the snuff bottle in Lin Shen's arms that had been pierced by bullets, he couldn't help feeling terrified.

love?he asks.If love, who is wrong?Lu Xing thought and thought again, but he couldn't be himself, he was a pure victim.

Jiang Cheng said abruptly, "What about Lu Zhi?"

Lu Xing was startled, Jiang Cheng rarely saw him lose his composure, so he played with it: "Why did you kill Lu Zhi back then?"

Lu Xing said coldly, "Big brother, you're too lenient, aren't you?"

Jiang Chengdao: "How about I exchange a secret with you?"

Lu Xing laughed angrily, and spit out: "Is it okay for me to care about your secret?" There was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I'll tell you today, that kid Lu Zhi didn't die, he was just kicked out of the house by me." That's all. The boss really has a leisurely heart, and he will get involved in every trivial matter."

Jiang Cheng gossiped in a good manner: "What did you do to get kicked out of the house?"

Lu Xingdao: "The family ugliness is not publicized, so we will not tell you."

Jiang Cheng had a bit of regret on his face: "Oh—" After a while, he asked again: "Where is Brother Ling now?"

Lu Xingdao: "How do I know?"

Jiang Cheng secretly smiled and said, "I know, Brother Lu, do you want to..."

Lu Xing interrupted bluntly: "No need, big brother, please go back."

Jiang Cheng left reluctantly, even taking a look at Lu Xing before leaving.Lu Xing was baffled, and he felt goosebumps all over the floor.

It's really not like it.The somewhat similar faces of Lu Zhi and Lu Xing came to Jiang Cheng's mind, the tempers of these two brothers are really not alike at all.

Jiang Cheng thought of Lu Zhi, he was an excellent person.It's a pity that the surname is Lu, but it's a pity that he is Lu Xing's younger brother.

Lu Xing's life in Jiang's house was not as difficult as other people thought. On the contrary, Jiang Cheng even arranged for him a part-time job with good salary.Lu Xing didn't feel aggrieved when he was subordinated to others, he walked around cats and dogs all day, and lived a leisurely life.Jiang Cheng asked him if there was anything he wanted to do, Lu Xing thought for a while and said, "It's nothing else, I just want to walk around, and I get bored after staying in one place for a long time." Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "The past few years It’s not good, I’ll be with you later when I’m free.”

Once life calms down, the days are hard to get close. People are like this, they have to find something to do.On a whim, Lu Xing asked someone to find a few peach trees and plant them in the garden.Jiang Cheng felt that he was looking for trouble for nothing: "Okay, what are you planting peach trees for?"

Lu Xing asked back, "What? I can't even plant a peach tree in my yard?"

Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

Lu Xing thought that planting trees was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect to hear that something unclean had been dug up within a few days.

When his subordinates came to report, Jiang Cheng happened to be nearby, and Lu Xing wanted to take a look, but he stopped him and said, "Forget it, it's not a good thing, it's dirty eyes."

Lu Xing sneered, "I don't think you're going anywhere clean. You buried someone in your own yard, can you sleep at night?"

This matter was turned over, the peach tree was planted, and it bloomed in the first year.Lu Xing went to look at it a few times, and the tree was blooming beautifully, but it was strange that it always made people feel palpitations, so he gradually stopped going.

The little paparazzi grew up to the height of Lu Xing's knees in a short period of time, and was fat and strong after being fed with good meat by Lu Xingdun.In contrast, the golden retriever in the yard looked old. Jiang Cheng stroked the big golden retriever's head and sighed with a smile, "Man, you're old."

The golden retriever was very docile, licking his rough palm covered with gun calluses.

Jiang Cheng is a person who pays attention to ostentation. His yard is larger than Lu Xing's in Pingcheng. There is an artificial lake and a small forest inside.

The two often went for a walk in the garden after dinner, Jiang Cheng led the big golden retriever, and Lu Xing led the little golden retriever.Jiang Cheng walked slowly ahead, talking about some interesting things he had seen and heard in the past few days.

Lu Xing felt vaguely familiar with this scene, it was when Lin Shen was still there, they were in the courtyard of Pingcheng...

Going further, he came under the peach tree, only to realize that Lu Xing hadn't been here for a while.The thin branches of the peach tree grow twisted and twisted, like ghosts, which makes people feel ominous.

The dog suddenly barked wildly, Jiang Cheng was led by the rope and took a step aside, stopped suddenly, and laughed after a while: "Good dog! Good dog!"

He coughed violently, choking on a few mouthfuls of blood foam.The silver-white knife tip on his chest was dazzling, and he whispered: "Lu Xing, why are you doing this?!"

Lu Xing stood behind him, remained silent for a moment, half-supported him and put him on the ground and said, "This time I'm sorry and owe you... I'll pay it back slowly when I get below."

Jiang Cheng stared at him, Lu Xing turned his face away, and with a strong hand, the knife fell to the ground with a clang.The corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth was bleeding, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He couldn't speak any more. He closed his eyes, moved his lips slightly, and said the last four words.Lu Xing could see it clearly, it was clearly "good for himself".

Crimson blood spread from under Jiang Cheng's body, like a big laugh, and the expression on Lu Xing's face instantly felt a little painful.

"Boss..." The man who was ambushing in the woods came up. "Get out!" Lu Xing yelled violently, the irritability in his heart burning like wildfire.

He turned around in a hurry, and after taking a few steps, his legs suddenly became weak, and he knelt on the ground.

Lu Xing suddenly remembered that the knife that had been stabbed sideways, which he had thrown on the ground just now, with Jiang Cheng's blood on it, had now stabbed firmly into his heart.

Jiang Cheng's voice fluttered, and it sounded in his ears: "Cut the grass but not the root, there will be endless troubles, Brother Lu, you taught me, now I can't blame me." Lu Xing could no longer hear what he was saying, he wanted to laugh, But all powerless.The sharp blade pierced his body, but strangely he felt no pain.He touched the tip of the knife, it was warm.

Seeing him open his mouth, Jiang Cheng immediately leaned closer to his ears to listen, and waited.
