Chapter 101 Business Is Coming

Zhao had no idea what happened after Lu Wenyu entered the palace. After drinking tea all night, Zhao went back to sleep without saying anything.

It should be said that Zhao didn't like the life of working all night every day. When there is no business, you should lie down and enjoy life, otherwise you will become a beast of burden?

Fortunately, there is nothing to do after tonight, and Zhao returned to the life of lying down that he had always dreamed of. In the morning, he checked in at 7:00 in the morning, came out of Zhaoyu at 5:00, went to the restaurant to carry the food box back to the yard, and went to Nuanxiang Pavilion from time to time.

For Zhao, this kind of life is a good life. It's just that there is not much business, which makes Zhao a little dissatisfied. If there is another business of more than a thousand taels in a month, that would be the best life.

The days passed almost in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost ten days since the assassination of Nuanxiang Pavilion, and it is no longer so easy to see Jinyiwei on the streets. It seems that everything has passed. The situation in the capital, which has been tense for a few days, has returned to calm after a buffer of ten days or eight days.

Time passed slowly, and autumn was coming to an end. The weather was getting colder and colder, and there was only one snow left before winter.

Zhao got up from the bed at the beginning of the morning hour. As soon as he opened the door, a piercing cold wind blew. He felt a little more comfortable after changing into a cotton-padded jacket. After washing up, Zhao walked towards Zhaoyu with his hands behind his back. When he entered the duty room, Lu Wenyu was already sitting in the duty room waiting.

"Muzhi, you changed into a cotton-padded jacket so soon?" Lu Wenyu seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing Zhao coming in, he even wanted to tease him.

Although he was startled by Lu Wenyu's voice, Zhao quickly adjusted himself. After closing the door and looking around, he didn't see Yu Jielin, and he smiled happily. Isn't this business coming? He said with a smile, "Fifth Master, you don't have a close friend. When the weather gets cold, you have to rely on clothes to keep warm."

"You don't have a close friend yet. You've been to Nuanxiang Pavilion a lot, right? What? The girl from Nuanxiang Pavilion is not good enough?" Lu Wenyu was about to drink tea when she heard Zhao's joke and smiled and put down the teacup to tease.

"The girl is not close..."

"Oh?" Lu Wenyu raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What close friend is the girl if she is not close, isn't it?"

After finding a chair to sit down, Zhao smacked his lips and rubbed his three fingers together gently, "Don't think this thing is cold and hard, at this critical moment, it has to be this thing that is close to you."

Lu Wenyu, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he heard Zhao's obvious words, coupled with Zhao's greedy look as he rubbed his fingers. He held it in for a while before he recovered and patted his chest to breathe.

"You have a unique interest. I came here today to do a big business. I wonder if you are interested."

"Oh?" Zhao became interested and looked at Lu Wenyu with burning eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said cautiously, "Tell me about it. Don't be like Wang Jiwei again. I just want to make money, not to buy my life!"

Lu Wenyu smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and stopped talking, and said with a smile, "This time it will definitely not be above the first grade, and the price is not low!"

Below the master, it's easy to deal with. More money makes things easier. Isn't this the best business! Almost instantly, Zhao sat up straight, "Fifth Master, this kind of thing must be let me do it. What I like most is to help the younger generation and challenge myself."

"Is it too reluctant?" Lu Wenyu asked knowingly and deliberately asked back.

Zhao Jue waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, you don't know my personality, I'm diligent and hardworking, you can trust me."

"Okay, I'll feel embarrassed if you don't let me go if you say that." Lu Wenyu nodded, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Perhaps it was the cunning in Lu Wenyu's eyes, or perhaps it was the disconnection that suddenly connected, Zhao Jue's IQ re-occupied the high ground, and did not answer Lu Wenyu's topic, but asked cautiously, "Tell me what it is first, who to kill? Tell me first, I can't take the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops."

Lu Wenyu sat up straight, put down the teacup, and said seriously, "You know the oath of non-war, right?"

"I know."

"It's good to know." Lu Wenyu paused and continued, "The Hu people tore up the oath of non-war and took the lead in sending assassins to Beijing to assassinate ......”

Zhao interrupted, “I know all this, just get to the point!”

Being interrupted by Zhao, Lu Wenyu frowned, “Don’t be impatient. We definitely don’t agree to the Hu people tearing up the oath of non-fighting, so let’s just set up a life and death arena according to the rules to decide whether to continue the oath of non-fighting.”

“Stupid! I’m a killer and never do anything fair and square. I’m good at assassinating in secret, but I’m not good at fighting in the arena! Fifth Master, find someone else.” After saying that, Zhao stood up and walked out.

“Look at you, you’re impatient again.”

“I haven’t told you the rules yet, how do you know you can’t do it? Besides, four thousand taels per head, I think you’re really good…”

Four thousand taels! Zhao only caught this key information from the words, but it was enough. He hurriedly sat back in his chair, "Tell me, tell me, what are the rules?"

"Set up a ring on Longxing Mountain in Xing'an Mountains, Da Qi and Hu people will each send out ten people to fight, and the side with more people alive will win." Lu Wenyu said frankly.

"Idiot, idiot, all idiots! They are the idiots of idiots! As long as you kill all ten people on the road, then you don't even need to fight, you will win directly? Hu people have no brains, don't we have brains too? The means are not important, the result is important!" Zhao was a little unbelievable, fighting in a ring is simply a hole in the brain.

Lu Wenyu picked up the teacup sideways, turned his head and looked at Zhao Jue sinisterly, and said softly, "You don't think that you are the only one who has this idea, do you? Do you really think that those officials who passed the imperial examination in the court don't even have brains? Boy, don't think you are too smart. Those who have fought in the officialdom for many years are much smarter than you! Not to mention assassinations along the way, there are even those who send troops to intervene in the fight between warriors. Boy, you are right, the means are not important, the result is important..."

"The so-called arena is actually the mutual assassination between the two sides without using off-field means. Otherwise, can this small arena decide such a big thing as the oath of non-war? Boy, you still don't understand what it means to fight. Fighting is to do whatever it takes!"

The more Zhao listened, the more shocked he became. He widened his eyes in shock. Looking at Lu Wenyu's sinister expression, he couldn't help but sigh that he was too shallow and underestimated people's wisdom. He calmed down the surprise in his heart, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I've learned a lesson." Zhao Jue bowed to Lu Wenyu.

"There were seven such arenas in the previous dynasty. Guess how many times there were open fights in the arena." Lu Wenyu seemed not to see the change in Zhao Jue's expression, and asked with interest.

"Twice?" Zhao Jue asked uncertainly.

"Guess again."

"Once?" Zhao Jue personally believed that no matter how many assassinations, there would still be a failure, although he himself did not believe this idea.

Lu Wenyu put down the teacup, and the corners of his mouth raised as if laughing at Zhao Jue's naivety.

"Oh, once? Not even once!"
