under the tower

"Then I'm happy to see it come to fruition." Lu Mingxiu looked relaxed, leaning on the back of the chair, not frightened by Ji Xi's words at all, he said leisurely, "——I just watched the excitement."

Ji Xi pondered: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's very simple." Lu Mingxiu said, "Except for me, no one in Beicheng base has noticed you coming. Obviously you don't intend to reveal your identity, and I also intend to hide it for you..."

"...I just need you to do one thing for me." Lu Mingxiu said, "Recently, the Chang family is going to reform the military establishment. At this juncture, a group of old troops will be cleared out and some new blood will come in. They will release rumors after a while , I need you to take the opportunity to go in and mix in the army, it would be great if you can get some core data of the Chang family, and with your current ability, this is not difficult for you."

"Stealing data? Whoever touches this kind of thing will leave surveillance traces in the system. Are you not afraid that I will be discovered by the Chang family?"

"I want them to find out." Lu Mingxiu smiled meaningfully, "There is no one more suitable than you for this matter. Anyway, you will return to Shencheng later, and no one will be able to escape to the mess that remains. Shen Cheng came to clean you up, didn't he?"

Ji Xi frowned: "Don't you have a relationship with the Chang family? The Lu family wants to usurp the throne?"

"Like I said, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you on my own behalf." Lu Mingxiu withdrew his cynical smile, and said with a solemn expression, "So this matter is my personal idea."

"Personally? You don't know the Chang family..."

Ji Xi paused, as if he suddenly understood what Lu Mingxiu wanted to do.

Different from the status of the Ji family in Shencheng, the Ji family is absolutely overshadowing the sky in Shencheng. On the surface, no one can shake its position, but the situation of the Beicheng base is different. The political power of the Beicheng base is firmly in the hands of the Chang family. However, the financial power is in the hands of the Lu family, and Lu and Chang are fighting against each other.The two families seem to have a close relationship, but in fact they are constantly fighting openly and secretly.

In recent years, another kind of conspiracy theory has also intensified, and even Ji Xi has heard it in Shencheng—the Chang family is very afraid of the Lu family's financial resources and expanding ambitions, and the Lu family is increasingly dissatisfied with the Chang family's arbitrariness. Only one fuse is missing.

"..."

Ji Xi complained inwardly, for such a big matter, Lu Mingxiu really dared to do it!

They are all smart people, Lu Mingxiu knew that Ji Xi had understood, he said leisurely: "I didn't intend to hide it from you, and I know I can't hide it from you, anyway, you are like me, watching the fire from the other side, watching the excitement."

Ji Xi really figured it out, he immediately understood Lu Mingxiu's purpose of wooing him first, I have to say that Lu Mingxiu did have a shrewd plan - Ji Xi is from the Shencheng base, and he represents a third-party force, if he does The gun in Lu Mingxiu's hand is equivalent to standing behind the Lu family on behalf of the entire Shencheng base. Originally, the Lu and Chang families were evenly matched. If the balance suddenly leans too much towards one end, the Chang family must be unable to sit still. .

Lu Mingxiu may not be very loyal to the Lu family, but any action of Lu Mingxiu will be regarded as the will of the Lu family. He wants to use this opportunity to provoke the war between the Chang family and the Lu family. It couldn't be easier.

As he himself said, Lu Mingxiu was simply afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Ji Xi said half of what he said just now, but he didn't continue. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips mockingly: "...Lao Lu picked up your cheap son. It's really bad luck in his previous life."

Lu Mingxiu smiled but said nothing, the eyes of the two knew each other.

For Ji Xi, like Lu Mingxiu, he is both inside and outside of it. They are the third party on this chaotic chessboard of black and white. It is called "Mingyue District" after him.

But if he agreed to Lu Mingxiu, he would be temporarily tied to the boat of the Lu family.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Ji Xi which side is the Chang family or the Lu family. Just as Lu Mingxiu expected, Ji Xi will indeed return to the Shencheng base sooner or later. On the one hand, he came to Beicheng to avoid the limelight and to avoid being hunted down. On the other hand, it is also to recruit soldiers and wait for the right time——

With Ji Xi's character, how could someone not fight back when his home was ransacked? Sooner or later, he would return to Shencheng to tear up those deformed people who dared to rebel, and regain control of Shencheng.

At that time, no matter how much the Beicheng base fights among themselves, even if the Beicheng base is taken over by the mutants, the fire will not be able to burn Ji Xi, who is thousands of miles away.

And he really needs a chance to enter the core of Beicheng right now, Lu Mingxiu almost dozed off and rushed to give him a pillow.

Ji Xi had no reason not to answer.

At noon, Lu Mingxiu left without staying for a meal. Ji Xi thought that he also had lingering fears about his brother's cooking skills.

Yanyi made him fried radish balls and sautéed mustard greens with bacon today, and they were red and green in the lunch box, really pretty.

As soon as Ji Xi lifted the lid, the aroma of food rushed over.

Yu Chengyuan was holding a rice plate with a lump of unidentified objects that were neither yellow nor brown, and sat down in front of Ji Xi with a constipated expression.

Ji Xi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Are you eating? Can you stop being so bitter and bitter?"

Yu Chengyuan sighed faintly: "Hey, I'm a decent boss, but now I can't even support a buddy."

"What are you pretending to be here with me?" Ji Xi broke the truth unceremoniously, "Did you recruit me to be a buddy? Or to pick someone for your brother?"

Yu Chengyuan admitted frankly: "I did guess that he would be interested in you, but I didn't expect you to know each other, that's all. As you can see, young master, I'm just a commoner, and I don't have any skills."

Ji Xi put down his chopsticks and stared at him: "Would you like to tell me next time that if it wasn't for Lu Mingxiu's help, you wouldn't have the money to adopt those children, so everything you did with him was right?"

"I don't deny this." Yu Chengyuan said, "The fact is true. If Mingxiu hadn't been responsible for taking over this matter, this grocery store wouldn't have existed at all, but I didn't say that I did everything. Yeah, I'm just giving them a chance to live."

Ji Xi said silently, "...But you are helping Lu Mingxiu to rebel, this is your real purpose."

Yu Chengyuan was noncommittal.

The context of the whole matter is already very clear.

The Lu family does not have the ability to have children, so they select children who are healthy, have similar appearance to the head of the Lu family, have not yet entered the second stage, and have room for genetic modification from among the abandoned children in the slums, as the family's reserve force .

Back then, Lu Mingxiu and Yu Chengyuan Yuemo were also vagrants from the Skull Cave. They were a pair of brothers, but because of their looks, Lu Mingxiu was picked away by the Lu family, but Yu Chengyuan was not, so they still stayed on this land to live.

Lu Mingxiu became a member of this huge empire after undergoing a series of transformations by the Lu family. He changed his surname to "Lu" and called him Lu Mingyue's illegitimate son to the outside world.

After Lu Mingxiu took over part of the Lu family's property and became Lu Mingyue's confidant, he began to try to get involved in the family's selection of "offspring".

He secretly sponsored his own brother to open this grocery store in Skull Cave. On the surface, it was a good deed, but in fact, he used this port to continuously transport talents for the Lu family.

But why does Lu Mingxiu need Yu Chengyuan to do this "port"?

With the wealth of the Lu family, even if he walks around the streets of Bingmu District, he can find countless candidates of the right age who are hungry and helpless. The store keeps spending money to keep a bunch of people secretly, and it does it so covertly.

When Ji Xi guessed that Lu Mingxiu was going to rebel against Lu Mingyue, all doubts were resolved.

Lu Mingxiu insisted on adding fuel to the struggle between the Lu family and the Chang family, not for anything else, but for his own idea of ​​usurping power while taking advantage of the chaos.

This guy is ambitious.

Yu Chengyuan is his elder brother who grew up with him since he was a child. He was also born in a slum, but few people know his relationship with Yu Chengyuan. Yu Chengyuan is a candidate that Lu Mingxiu can trust, and through this operation, he washed his hands dry It was so clean that no one could find him.

Those children have an almost loyal and absolute belief in Yu Chengyuan - although I don't know how Yu Chengyuan did it, but if Lu Mingxiu gradually stuffs these children into the center of the Lu family without anyone noticing, dripping water through the stone, it is hard to guarantee that one day they will not be happy. It will form a force so terrifying that it will overthrow the entire previous power structure of the Lu family.

After all, Lu Mingyue will always grow old, and his influence will always be eroded by the new generation, and the most frightening thing is that, unlike the Chang family and the Ji family, the Lu family's heirs are not related by blood.

This is the biggest hidden danger of the Lu family. Even though it seems to be very prosperous now, Langui Tengfang——Lu's rapid expansion in a short period of time in order to deceive people's eyes and ears, challenged the Chang family, and devoured their own foundation.

Under internal and external troubles, maybe one day, Lu Mingxiu will become the "king" of the new world, so this story should be quite ambitious.After all, Lu Mingxiu came out of the Skull Cave. The ants at the bottom of society finally overthrew the huge upper empire by their own power. Everyone should applaud this exciting movie script.

Ji Xi ate all the rice in the bowl, he stood up, took the empty lunch box to the sink to wash it, under the sound of rushing water, he left a sentence: "...Although I am not interested in your affairs Interested, but wish you success."

But what Yu Chengyuan cared about for a short time was not his great ambition, he asked: "Are you still coming to work tomorrow?"

Ji Xi: "?"

"If I don't come, I will quickly find a way to find a new partner." Yu Chengyuan said, "After all, I'm really not very busy to come here."

Ji Xi: "..."

"What did Mingxiu promise you? How much does he pay you?"

Ji Xi was silent for a moment: "I will continue to come, but I have to ask your brother how long I can do it. He probably won't be able to arrange me so quickly."

"Oh." Yu Chengyuan nodded understandingly, "You can do it first, let me know before you leave, so I can recruit people."

Ji Xi: "...All right."
