Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 292 Why did you come to me again?
"sulfuric acid!"

Xu Ming turned around and swung his sword. The long swords collided with each other, creating a spark in the night. Xu Ming chopped the opponent several meters away.

When the other party calmed down, the sword in Xu Ming's hand had already reached the other party's eyebrows.

The masked man turned his head, dodged the sword, and slapped Xu Ming with his palm.

Xu Ming threw a punch, and the punch and palm collided, and both of them flew backwards.

Xu Ming's eyes narrowed as he looked at the man in front of him.

A gap was cut directly on the long sword forged from ordinary iron in Xu Ming's hand.

This sword is indeed quite good in the mortal world, but it is definitely not enough.

However, considering the realm of the man in front of him, Xu Ming was confident that he could kill him even with an ordinary sword.

The masked man stared at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming saw excitement in his eyes.

To be honest, Xu Ming felt that the masked man might be a little abnormal, a bit like a masochist.

"Mr. Xu has great swordsmanship." The masked man looked at Xu Ming excitedly.

Xu Ming didn't know what he was so excited about.

Xu Ming frowned: "Who are you? How dare you attack my Xu Mansion at night!"

The sword that the opponent just wielded did not have any murderous intent. Instead, it gave a feeling of being restrained, as if he was testing himself.

So Xu Ming's sword strike just now did not kill him.
Otherwise, the man would have lost his head long ago.

But here comes the problem.

Who is this person? What is he testing me to do?
"Mr. Xu, do you know King Shan?" asked the masked man.

"Do you know what these two words mean?"

How could Xu Ming not know about King Shan?
A big part of the reason why the status of a concubine's son was so low was because of the nine princes competing for the throne at that time, and Prince Shan was the most prestigious among the nine princes.

At that time, King Shan had the greatest reputation and power.

However, no one knows what means the then King Chen used to seize the throne, and King Shan's family was purged.

Although a hundred years have passed and that incident has long since faded, and the current Emperor Wu can be considered a wise ruler with the absolute support of the people, the two words "Shan King" are still very sensitive.

"Hahaha, how could the people of Wu Kingdom not know what the words 'Shan Wang' represent?"

The pair of eyes under the man's mask looked at Xu Ming like knives.

"Originally, the Wu Kingdom belonged to the lineage of the fifth prince, Prince Shan! The man sitting high on the throne today is nothing but a thief who stole the country!"

Xu Ming snorted coldly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since you have lost, you have to face reality."

Xu Ming roughly guessed the other party's identity.

Although King Shan is dead.

But I heard that King Shan was very charismatic during his lifetime, and most of his followers died for him!

Especially the fiefdom of King Shan, which is now Xiliang Prefecture of Wu State. Even after a hundred years, the people are still deeply grateful for King Shan's kindness.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which King Shan had founded, was disbanded and reorganized and assigned to various armies. However, some of these scattered Xiliang Iron Cavalry and officers may still not be completely loyal to the Wu Kingdom royal family. Of course, after so much time, most of those forces have become insignificant.

And the other party should be the supporter of King Sugi.

To be honest, Xu Ming also admires these supporters.

If King Shan was not dead, I could understand why you were so focused on helping King Shan regain the throne.

But the Shan King must have died, his head is still buried in the ground, maybe he has been reincarnated, and yet you still don't give up.
"What a cliché." The masked man exhaled deeply, his eyes burning, "It is true, Master Xu is right, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. We accepted it a hundred years ago, but! We don't accept this result! We must take back everything that belongs to the lineage of King Shan!"

"Mad man." In Xu Ming's mind, he gave the other party such a tone. The other party's state was already a little crazy.

"So what's the reason why you came to see me?" Xu Ming asked.

"We want to invite Mr. Xu to join us!" the masked man told the truth.

"Huh?" Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrongly. "No, why do you think I will join you?"

Xu Ming was really confused and even found it a little funny.

My life now can’t be said to be at its peak, but it is certainly sunny.

No matter what I do in the Xu Mansion, the Xu Mansion dare not say a word of "no".

In everyone's eyes, I am Emperor Wu's favorite.

Even if I had not broken off the engagement at that time, I would now be the husband of Emperor Wu's only daughter, and our future child would definitely be the king of Wu.

Not to mention that I'm not interested in politics.

Even if I am interested in politics, what good will it bring me to follow you? What else can you give me?
The masked man frowned and said, "I know that Master Xu is now a favorite of Wu Li (Emperor Wu's real name) in the court, but he is definitely not destined to be one. Master Xu is both civil and military, so why bother to help the tyrant? Why not follow us and create a great cause together!"

Xu Ming sneered, "If Emperor Wu was incompetent and the people were starving, I would still believe what you said, but in the past year of my travels, wherever I went, the politics was not as clear as snow, but it was much better than that of ordinary dynasties.

Although the people have some complaints about the current court, they ultimately praise it more than they criticize it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the current Emperor Wu will leave a virtuous name in history.

Why should I follow you? To make the people of Wu country suffer and become homeless?

In the end, you let Wu Kingdom fall into war just for your own wishful thinking?"

Xu Ming didn't say one more thing.

My "best female friend" might even be the future empress. Emperor Wu has already started paving the way. You want me to rebel against my female brother?
The masked man sighed and shook his head: "Mr. Xu's answer is like this. I am really disappointed."

"Haha." Xu Ming laughed a few times. "If you want to recruit me, then you are wrong. On the contrary, if you rebel, I will suppress it. I can even capture you and send you to the palace now, but considering your loyalty, you should leave. If we meet again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The masked man looked at Xu Ming deeply, said nothing more, turned around and flew away.

"baffling."

Xu Ming watched him disappear into the night sky, shook his head, turned around and walked back to the room.

Out of the blue, King Shan’s supporters want to recruit me into their group?

Are they crazy?
"etc."

Xu Ming felt something was wrong.

If they weren't crazy, why did they come to me when they knew it was impossible to get me to join them?
