Chapter 44

"Could it be that this woman's surname is 'Wen'?"

Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Lu Si felt a surge of speculation in her heart.

But whether this is the case, he can't be sure.

Judging from the texture of this jade pendant, it is obviously high-grade suet white jade, and the price of this jade pendant alone is not less than several hundred taels, which shows that this woman has an extraordinary status.

With a flip of his hand, he put away the jade pendant, and Lu Si didn't think about it any more.

The appearance of this woman was like a small episode, causing slight waves in the inn, and then it returned to calm.

At this time, a clerk from the inn hurried over and handed Lu Si a hot-painted invitation card.

"Master, just now someone from Nuanxiang Pavilion came and said that they invited you to Nuanxiang Pavilion for a talk."

"Nuanxiang Pavilion?"

Lu Si frowned slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

Previously, in order to grab business, Nuanxiang Pavilion copied the dishes of Fulai Inn. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two parties should be said to be in hot water. It is not an exaggeration to think why Nuanxiang Pavilion sent him an invitation.

Opening the invitation card, Lu Si couldn't help smiling when he saw the signature below.

"It was him."

That's right, the one who invited him this time was none other than the 'smiling tiger' Gao Ling, one of the five tigers on the mountain!
Now Lu Si has seen four of the five tigers on the mountain, but this 'smiling tiger' has never met, and this one sent him an invitation instead.

"Master, this Nuanxiang Pavilion has bad intentions, and it is definitely not a good thing to invite you."

The guy on the side reminded.

Lu Si shook his head and smiled, and said lightly: "Since he invited us, I naturally couldn't not go, otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as being afraid of the other party? Besides, this person invited me to go, not necessarily because of this inn."

At the end, Lu Si's eyes flickered.

He didn't know Gao Lingsu, the smiling tiger, so it stands to reason that the other party would never invite him.

But now that the invitation is suddenly sent, it is obvious that there is something to discuss.

As for what he was talking about, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Now because of Feng Kun's death, the battle between the Black Tiger Gang has become more and more fierce, and all eyes are on the position of the leader.

As one of the five tigers on the mountain, Gao Ling probably had the same thoughts.

However, among the five tigers of the Black Tiger Gang, Dong Gaohan is the strongest, followed by Na Zhiming.

In comparison, this smiling tiger is obviously weaker.

If the opponent wants to compete for the position of leader, or if he wants to protect himself, he must find a helper, otherwise he will obviously not be able to fight against these two with his current strength.

And once it fails, I'm afraid that this one's fate will not be much better, so now this one can be said to be the most anxious of the three, and also the most anxious.

And Lu Si showed impressive strength before, which obviously made this person miss him.

After figuring out the reason, Lu Si couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, I became a fragrant bun.

"You let people watch the inn carefully, and I will go back as soon as I go."

Lu Si ordered, but did not refuse.

He also wanted to see what tricks this smiling tiger wanted to play.

Leaving the matter of the inn to everyone, Lu Si went to the Nuanxiang Pavilion.

As the evening approached, the number of people coming and going to Nuanxiang Pavilion also increased significantly.

After all, the business of Nuanxiang Pavilion is the most prosperous at night.

This time, when the guy outside saw Lu Si, his expression changed, and he stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Master Lu, you are here."

The attitude can be said to be completely different from before.

As for why, Lu Si knew it well.

He nodded lightly, and had no intention of embarrassing him.

If he didn't let go of even one of his buddies, it would be too narrow-minded.

"Let's go."

Lu Si spoke directly.

The clerk looked relieved, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Lu, please follow me."

The two walked directly into the Nuanxiang Pavilion and went upstairs.

Entering a room, Lu Si finally saw the smiling tiger Gao Ling, one of the five tigers.

"Mr. Lu's presence here can be said to make the hidden room full of splendor."

As soon as they met, Gao Ling smiled and stood up to greet her.

Looking at the smiling face of the other party, Lu Si seemed to understand why the other party was called the 'Smiling Tiger'.

Lu Si smiled faintly: "Master Gao personally invited, how could Lu Mou not come?"

"Master Lu is really joking."

Gao Ling laughed and said, "Nowadays in Qing'an County, no one knows Mr. Lu's name. I'm afraid even Chief Bai is not as good as him."

A small compliment to him.

Lu Si chuckled lightly, pretending she didn't hear it.

This Gao Ling actually compared himself with Bai Luanxiong, it's hard to say that there was no provocation in it.

Seeing that Lu Si was silent, Gao Ling still had a smile on his face, and invited him to sit down, said.

"Mr. Lu, try the delicious food I specially prepared for you. These are all rare treasures."

Lu Si looked at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, both in color and aroma, they were all exquisite, and it was obvious that this person had put in a lot of effort.

Just judging from the appearance of these dishes, I am afraid that they are all made of high-quality ingredients. One of the 'Sanwei Shark Fins' is worth more than a dozen taels of silver. It can be called a luxury!
Lu Si was also polite, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

The taste is really good. Even if Fulai Inn can make such dishes, it may not be as delicate as the other side.

"Not bad!"

Lu Si nodded.

"Hahaha, as long as Mr. Lu likes it."

Gao Ling laughed, but didn't talk about the business.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Si naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

The two of them just chattered, and neither of them got to the point.

After a while, Gao Ling couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't expect that this son's concentration was so strong that he could endure it until now.

There was no way, Gao Ling could only speak first.

"Master Lu, what do you think of the current Black Tiger Gang?"

"Hallmaster Gao is probably asking the wrong person. I am not a member of the Black Tiger Gang, so how can I know about the Black Tiger Gang?"

Lu Si shook his head and pretended not to know.

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Gao Ling was annoyed. This kid made it clear that he was pretending to be confused.

But now, after all, he had something to ask of him, so he could only suppress his anger.

Soon, the smile appeared on his face again.

"You can't say that, Mr. Lu. Now that the Black Tiger Gang is undercurrent, it is actually not good for Mr. Lu."

He pretended to sigh.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Lu Si asked.

Gao Ling said: "Mr. Lu doesn't know something. You may have offended Dong Gaohan and Chiming with your actions in the Yamen that day. Now that I, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, has not been able to show up, it is very likely that an accident has happened. If these two You are sitting on the position of leader, Mr. Lu, how can you say that the two of them will let you go?"

As he said that, he looked at Lu Si meaningfully.

Unexpectedly, Lu Si's expression did not change, he just took a sip of tea and said.

"It shouldn't be."
