Chapter 304 Hot Potato
Lu Jing smiled bitterly, his tone full of helplessness, "I'm also curious, how good it would be if I could use this luck for other things."
Shen Li also showed a trace of doubt on her face, and asked: "A Jing, this thing in your hand is a little hot, what are you going to do with it?"
Lu Jing shook his head. He was still uneasy about handing this thing over to the officials here, but he didn’t know the people above him, so wait!
Isn’t Pei Yu a good candidate?
It’s just, “Ali, to be honest, I didn’t know what to do with this thing, but now, I want to give it to Mr. Pei.”
"Pei Yu?"
Lu Jing nodded, "Yes, he is the most suitable one."
After so long, he naturally knew Pei Yu's true identity, the King of Jingnan, the first king of a different surname personally appointed by the new emperor after the establishment of Northern Yan, thus proving his status.
"I wonder if you agree or not?"
Hearing his slightly questioning words, Shen Li came back to her senses, met his probing gaze, raised her lips and smiled, "You can ask him about this, but he may not be free now."
There was a hint of sadness in Lu Jing's eyes. If the two of them didn't keep in touch, how would Ali know about his current situation?
He has been busy taking over the Shen family's business in the past two years and has seldom interacted with Shen Li, but the letters have never stopped. However, he is not that person after all.
Could it be that he can only be friends with Ali in this life?
In a trance, he met the slightly meaningful eyes of the person in front of him, and his thoughts gradually came back to him. He was wrong, he was greedy, and being friends was not bad, wasn't it?
"Ali, since he is busy, I won't be able to find this thing in his hands for a while. So, you take the thing and leave, and I will lead the pursuers behind you away."
As he spoke, he stuffed the thing into Shen Li's hand.
Shen Li took it and said, "Ah Jing, you know the value of this thing, why did you give it away so easily?"
Lu Jing had a smug look on his face. "Ali, I am a businessman. I naturally know how to maximize my profits. This thing is not good at all in my hands. Besides, Yan State needs this thing right now, so it is better to give it to someone who needs it."
Shen Li put the sheepskin scroll into her sleeve and promised seriously: "I will tell him the truth about where this thing came from, and you will also get what you need."
"it is good."
That's enough.
"You don't need to lead the people behind you away. You will be in great danger if you do that. I will travel with you for two days. If they catch up with us, I will lead them away."
Lu Jing shook his head, his face determined, "No, that's too dangerous."
Shen Li chuckled when she heard this, "Ah Jing, do you think I would be the kind of person who would put myself in danger?"
Lu Jing smiled awkwardly and didn't respond. Of course not.
"Besides, I have someone to protect me, and this thing has already been given away, so you shouldn't bear the subsequent dangers. Anian is still waiting for you at home."
Lu Jing's originally straight body bent inadvertently. Yes, his sister was still waiting for him at home!
but……
"And you still don't trust my skills?"
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Shen Li made the decision directly, "Okay, it's decided. Let's go. Young Master Guo is still waiting for us over there."
"Ah."
Lu Jing compromised. After all, they really couldn't teach the people behind them what to do, and dragging it on like this was not a solution.
Guo Xin stood there, also extremely anxious, turning around, making the people around him dizzy, but fortunately Lu Jing and the others came over quickly.
"Master Lu, you..."
Lu Jing hurriedly comforted him, "Master Guo, this matter will be resolved soon, don't worry about it anymore."
"is it?"
Guo Xin looked very happy, "That's great!"
God knows how happy he was when he got the order, and how heartbroken he is now. Fortunately, Lu Jing is a capable man and he actually knows such a capable person.
The young man in front of me, regardless of other things, has extremely high skills. Just last night, his ability to shoot arrows without missing a target was already amazing.
You have to know that they were fighting with those people last night, but they were able to shoot accurately without hurting their own people. That's amazing!
"My little brother, no, big brother, today's incident is really thanks to you. I didn't expect that you actually knew Young Master Lu. It's really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Hearing him addressing her, Shen Li's mouth twitched. What's the big brother or little brother? Do they have to be distinguished by age?
Lu Jing clenched his fist with one hand and put it against his lips to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, but he did not tell Shen Li her identity as a woman, as it would be unsafe for her.
"Master Guo, these are all trivial matters. If there are pursuers behind us, Ah Li will lead them away. You just need to escort me back to Jiangnan, and the escort will be completed. Of course, I will not give you a penny less."
"Okay, this is something we haven't completed yet. Feel free to come to me next time if you need anything."
Guo Xin frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and agreed readily. Since this young man was sure that he could lure the people away, he must have a plan for success. In that case, there was no need to lose any more of his manpower.
"it is good."
Guo Xin looked at the night and said, "Then take advantage of the time to rest and set off at dawn."
"it is good."
Shen Li tiptoed and flew to a tree, leaning against the trunk to rest.
The next day, before dawn, I was planning to set off, but was stopped by Shen Li.
"Let's go hunting first, and then have breakfast."
"what?"
Guo Xin quickly understood what she meant, "Oh, you two go hunting, and the rest of you go make a fire and collect firewood. Hurry up and get moving."
"Good."
People who have been in the underworld for many years have quick minds and swift actions. In just a quarter of an hour, the prey has been roasted on the fire.
In this forest, the smoke burning above the woods exposed the position very much. It was obvious that Shen Li didn't want to drag it on any longer, so this scene happened.
There were many of them, so they built two fires and roasted pheasants or rabbits, and also had a lot of steamed buns and cakes.
Except for Shen Li, the others are all adult men, so they all have big appetites.
Sniffing the fragrance in the air, Shen Li raised her eyebrows slightly. As expected of a gangster, her cooking skills were quite good. As expected, one could never mistreat one's own stomach.
Guo Xin handed over a golden roasted rabbit sprinkled with chili powder, which looked very appetizing.
"Try it. Many people have praised my cooking skills."
"Thank you."
Shen Li didn't act pretentiously. She took it directly, put it to her mouth and took a bite. She gave Guo Xin a thumbs up, saying that it was indeed grilled deliciously.
Lu Jing was a step slower. Tsk, you are just quick, right?
Looking at the two rabbits in my hands, I comforted myself, it’s okay, just two, I can finish them.
