Chapter 136: Delay Him

After listening to this, Zhang Xingwang felt that Lou Xiao'e's family was a little anxious. She was only 18 or 19 years old. Did she need to be so eager to get married? Did "solve" mean to set a date? This was too sudden.

Then he remembered that Xu Damao and the Third Master had both said recently that the Lou family was trying to find out about him and might have already figured out his background.

But the Guan family is quite nice, and it seems that the Lou family should be easy to get along with. After all, if Xu Damao can handle it, there is no reason why I can't handle it.

Moreover, I was really not prepared at all today. I have never experienced such a situation in my two lifetimes. It would be troublesome if I left a bad impression on others.

It seems that today's meeting is inevitable. I can only leave a good impression on the other party first, and then go back quickly to ask my mother Wang Xiulan what the process is and what else I need to prepare.

After thinking about all this, other ideas suddenly popped up in his mind. He thought that if Lou Zhenghua came to him, he could just give him some money and throw it in his face, and then tell him to leave Lou Xiao'e with a ferocious look on his face. After all, this is how it is played in sad dramas.

So what should I do? Should I take it directly or take it and then run away? I started to worry about the outcome.

He shook his head, threw away his messy thoughts, and said to Qu Dabao with a sincere look:

"Thank you for your help. Xiao San and I will be waiting for your news here."

After saying this, I thought about it and felt that it was not right. Would the other party think that I had no sincerity at all and was too incompetent? So I quickly added:

"If it's not convenient for Mr. Lou, I'll visit you another day. Although my family is not well off, I can't lose my manners. I still understand the basic rules."

After listening to this, Qu Dabao nodded thoughtfully. He thought that this guy was still planning to use courtesy before force, and he also knew that we were investigating his background. Maybe it wouldn't be as troublesome as we thought, and maybe we could solve it peacefully.

But what he meant by rules still needs to be figured out. It can’t be what he just said about splitting the money in half when we meet.

The Lou family is rich and powerful. If his request is not excessive, I advise the master to try his best to satisfy him. Maybe there will be another ally. If he really wants to share half, it will be troublesome. I have to quickly pass this news to the master...

Qu Dabao, who probably thought he "got it", said hello to Zhang Xingwang, nodded seriously to Qu San, and whispered, "If you can't wait for me, it means that the master and I have returned. You must hold him back."

Then he turned and trotted away in the direction of the old man who rented the boat.

Zhang Xingwang looked at Qu Dabao jogging and thought that this old man was really nice and in good health. Even at his age, his running speed was not inferior to that of young people.

Qu Dabao ran to Lou Zhenghua without stopping. In front of Lou Zhenghua's puzzled eyes, he quickly told him what had just happened and his guess. Then he told Lou Zhenghua:

"Qu San and I simulated what happened last time. We are taking too much risk this time. If he were to attack and hurt someone, I would have less than 30% chance of stopping him.

Once you fall, the Lou family will be leaderless... The Eight-Armed Arhat can defeat the Lou family in the dark. This is to use this kid to win big with a small one..."

"Isn't he afraid of death?"

"You know he's not smart!"

Then both of them fell silent. They discussed the issue for more than half an hour but still couldn't come up with a proper solution.

After a long while, Lou Zhenhua gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He said to Qu Dabao with a look of relief:

"Let's do as we agreed before. Now that we've lured him here, let's try to have an open and honest conversation with him.

It's a blessing, not a curse. If it's a curse, it's inevitable. But we still underestimated this guy. He's really smart, and we haven't found the Eight-Armed Arhat yet. There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Go and ask him to come over."

Then Qu Dabao said again with a complicated look in his eyes:

"Don't worry too much. That kid is still too young. He has a big family to support, and he still wants half. I think he is just bluffing. When we find the Eight-Armed Arhat, we will see how he can act."

After Qu Dabao left, Qu San recalled what happened that day, then he calmly took a few steps back until he felt he had put himself at a safe distance.

Zhang Xingwang looked at Qu San who was retreating with a confused look on his face, and also saw some bruises on his face. He couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed a master. Not only was he able to withstand blows, but his recovery ability was also amazing.

Thinking that it was because of a misunderstanding that I made him like this before, I said a little embarrassedly:

"Hey, Xiao San, even though we had a sparring match last time, it was still a misunderstanding. I feel bad for hurting you like this. How about I give you some medical expenses?"

As he spoke, he smiled sincerely and was about to go over to see how badly Qu San was injured. After all, there were bruises on his face.

Qu San looked at Zhang Xingwang approaching and the malicious smile on his face, and subconsciously crossed his hands in front of him, taking a defensive posture, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, saying as he retreated:

"Young man, you don't need to see a doctor, and you don't need medical expenses. Just stand there and let's talk."

I think it’s better for you to stay away from me. As for the misunderstanding, it’s what you say.

Zhang Xingwang was also confused when he saw Qu San retreating. Later he thought that masters all have to save face. If he rashly went up to see the man's wound, the man would definitely feel embarrassed, so he stopped.

He just tried to see through Qu San's raised arms to see how badly his face was injured.

Qu San looked at Zhang Xingwang's "eager eyes" and felt cold sweat on his back. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he had not said anything wrong, so he could only quietly take two steps back.

I was thinking about how I could hold on until Qu Dabao came back. I had to find a way to distract him and delay him for a while.

Then he slowly lowered his arms, forced himself to speak slowly:

"Um...um...brother, have you eaten?"

Zhang Xingwang felt terrible when he heard this. It seemed that he had attacked too hard last time. The wound on his face was not serious, but the most serious one was on his brain.

He felt like he was in trouble, but seeing how nervous he looked, he must have said a lot of bad things about him in front of Lou Xiao'e.

He thought that after all, he was Lou Xiao'e's driver. Even if he didn't try to please her, he could at least not let her puncture his tires.

I could only smile and reply:

"I came out after I had dinner."

Then the two fell into silence again. Qu San looked at the fewer and fewer people passing by and became so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhang Xingwang's face was almost frozen with laughter. In order to break the awkward atmosphere, he also wanted to find out about Lou Zhenghua's preferences. He would have something to talk about later, so he asked:

"Master San, what hobbies does Lou Dong have? What do you like to eat?"

After hearing this, Qu San had no choice but to keep silent. How could he tell him such crucial information? He couldn't help but look at Zhang Xingwang with contempt, thinking: You still want to trick me, do you really think I'm stupid?

He looked hurriedly in the direction where Qu Dabao left, wondering why he hadn't come over yet, but then he remembered the secret signal Qu Dabao gave him when he left.

What this means is that if the master chooses to temporarily avoid the limelight, I will have to stop him myself and buy time for him to leave.

After all, they didn't expect Zhang Xingwang to agree to meet so readily, and he seemed fearless. Considering the opponent's fighting power, they felt that this time it was indeed a bit hasty.
