Zhang Zhiming was a little speechless when he heard this.
Although he did have this idea in mind, Lu Li's rejection was too quick, right
If you are so eager to clear up the relationship, aren't you afraid that you will suddenly regret it
But Zhang Zhiming thought about Lu Li's words carefully, and found out that he really had no choice now.
He didn't know whether Lu Li did this on purpose or by chance. Zhang Zhiming recalled Lu Li's experience for a while and found that his style of acting was to push people to a dead end before talking slowly.
Anyway, there is no other choice. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he will definitely be the one who reaps the most benefits in the end.
If it was a coincidence, Zhang Zhiming had to say that Lu Li was really blessed by fate, and his luck was too good.
But if it was done on purpose...
Zhang Zhiming thought for a while, then sighed.
Although he considered himself to be as resourceful as anyone, he had to admit that he did not have the courage like Lu Li.
His way of doing things is simply impossible for others to imitate.
In his eyes, it seemed that there was nothing worth hesitating about. Most of those guys who claimed to be wise and almost demonic were tired of their scheming. Although their methods were comprehensive and wonderful, they were perfect plans that had been considered countless times. But when it comes to Lu Li, he doesn't seem to care about any of this at all, running rampant like a reckless man, destroying everything, and then slowly picking up the pieces among the ruins.
This kind of rough and fine style is actually the scariest thing about him.
The so-called trade-off is nothing more than this.
Zhang Zhiming thought about this and thought about a lot of things. He took a deep look at Lu Li and said, "Since Mr. Lu wants the family to have civil strife, don't regret it."
"The current balanced situation in Yanzhou is hard-won. Once you set this precedent and want to stop it, it will be out of your hands."
"Second Young Master Zhang still lacks some understanding of me, but it doesn't matter. After all, this is our first time working together, and we are not familiar with each other yet. As long as we show enough sincerity this time, Second Young Master Zhang will naturally know that I, Lu Li This guy never puts the people I work with at a disadvantage.”
"And as long as it's a decision I make, I will never regret it."
Lu Li smiled and said: "As for stopping? When the plan really starts, those aristocratic families will come and beg me to stop. And by that time, Second Young Master Zhang has tasted enough sweetness. Even if I want to stop, you will not agree. "
Zhang Zhiming laughed when he saw Lu Li was so confident, "Then I'll wait and see."
"Zhang Lin."
After saying that, Zhang Zhiming looked at Zhang Lin and ordered: "Manager Lu wants a few names. These names... I'll leave it to you."
Although Zhang Zhiming seemed to have thrown a heavy burden on him, the expression on Zhang Lin's face was extremely relaxed. It had softened a lot compared to before. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Second Young Master, I will definitely take care of this matter."
"Mr. Lu, please come this way."
Zhang Lin quickly stood up and led Lu Li outside.
Lu Li did not leave with him immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhang Zhiming and said, "Second Young Master Zhang, since you and I have now reached cooperation, I will give you this sentence. Although the art of formation is profound and profound, Many times, external forces are still external forces after all. Your situation is not complicated. If you really want to embark on martial arts again, with the talent of Second Young Master Zhang, it is not difficult at all."
"As for the teacher who taught you the formation method, I don't know what kind of deal you have with him, but there is no cheap deal in this world. He taught you such a profound formation method, and there might be something behind it. Plot.”
"I believe Mr. Zhang can figure these things out himself, so I won't comment on them."
Having said this, Lu Li opened the door and left the room without waiting for Zhang Zhiming's reply.
Zhang Lin also hurriedly followed out.
As for Zhang Zhiming, after the two of them left, his face instantly became gloomy, but not long after, he regained his calm look and smiled slightly at himself: "That's what I said, but in this world Nothing can be so simple."
"Sometimes, I also envy a straight-laced person like you."
Zhang Zhiming sighed, then raised his arm and looked at the strange lines on his forearm. He didn't speak for a long time.
…
"Mr. Lu, please come here. Wait for a moment. I'll go find that old ghost and ask for the name you want, and then I'll come and report it immediately."
After leaving Zhang Zhiming's house, Zhang Lin followed Lu Li and said with a low eyebrow, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, the old ghost will explain it soon."
"No need to bother."
Lu Li waved his hand and showed a smile to Zhang Lin: "I can ask Cheng Yu a lot of things. Zhang Caishen doesn't think that if I arrive at Zhang's house safely, then Cheng Yu can still be at ease, right?"
Zhang Lin's heart trembled, but then he looked like he was about to cry without tears: "Since... since Mr. Lu has channels, why does he still come to embarrass the Zhang family?"
"Embarrassed?"
Lu Li asked strangely: "Where did you start talking about this? When I arrived at the Zhang family, I didn't hurt anyone. At most, I only destroyed some things. And if I hadn't come forward, I'm afraid your Zhang family would still be in the hands of that old ghost. ? Now that I have solved the hidden danger for you, Second Young Master Zhang will take over as the head of the Zhang family. From now on, the Zhang family will only get better and better. Apart from an old and dim-sighted old head, what else have you lost?"
Zhang Lin was slightly stunned. Although he knew that Lu Li was trying to make excuses, Lu Li's words really made sense, and he had no way to refute them.
And if you think about it carefully, if Lu Li hadn't come to make this fuss, Second Young Master Zhang wouldn't have come forward at all and ignored all the affairs of the Zhang family. The Zhang family continues to be controlled by that old ghost Zhang Heng. Even if he didn't assassinate Lu Li, sooner or later he would offend other people.
If anything, Lu Li really indirectly saved the Zhang family's life. He eliminated all hidden dangers for the Zhang family, and even gave them a chance to rise again.
So, Zhang Lin's lips twitched, and although he was a little unconscionable, he still said: "Then... thank you Manager Lu."
"No need to thank me, this is what you should do."
Lu Li smiled and said: "In Yanzhou, whether we are aristocratic families or Prince Yan's Mansion, we should be one, watch and help each other, so that we can make progress together. Not to mention that now that there are foreign enemies, as citizens of the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven, we should fight as soon as possible Solve all hidden dangers and unite our forces as soon as possible."
When Zhang Lin heard this, his expression moved slightly and he asked tentatively: "But what went wrong in the border battle?"
In the recent period, border wars have occurred frequently in the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom. Even Lin Wangbei has personally gone to take charge of the situation. No one knows when the Jitian Demon Guild will launch a general attack, and no one dares to conclude that the current Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom will Whether it can block the attack of Jitian Demon Kingdom.
But the war at the border does affect everyone's mood.
Although it has not reached the point where people are panicking, not everyone in the aristocratic family maintains an indifferent attitude towards the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven.
Zhang Lin, for example, is the kind of person who can carry things clearly.
He knew very well that the current status of the Zhang family was entirely dependent on the foundation of the Heaven-Torrenting Holy Kingdom. Once the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom collapses and the Jitian Demon Kingdom takes over, these families who originally belonged to the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom will inevitably be the first batch of fat sheep to be liquidated.
Therefore, Zhang Lin sincerely hopes that the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom can be stabilized, but he must not be defeated by the Jitian Demon Kingdom.
"The war is changing rapidly. Neither you nor I have personally experienced the battle at the border. No one can say for sure what the situation will be like."
"But what is certain now is that we are running out of time."
As he spoke, Lu Li patted his shoulder, "If the Zhang family wants stability, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Bazhou all need stability. And the source of this stability is not just the efforts of the Yan Palace. You want to share the worries for the country." , we still need to encourage each other.”
Listening to such "serious" words, Zhang Lin nodded quickly to show that he already understood.
"As for that old ghost, if it's not convenient for the Zhang family to deal with it, I can take action on your behalf."
Suddenly, Lu Li changed the topic and brought the matter back to Zhang Heng.
Zhang Lin's eyebrows and heart beat slightly, and he said with a smile: "Convenient, convenient, please don't worry, Mr. Lu, about this..."
He gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I must give Mr. Lu a satisfactory answer on this matter!"
