Chapter 6 Declaring Wars
The moon temple stood like a hawk on the riverside. This was a good place for literature people for generations. When Shen Beixiong came here with dozens of followers, it was evening. The sun light was red. In the red sun light, a white young man stood alone. On the table in the temple, an old man was playing music.
Shen Beixiong asked his followers to take guard and then bowed to the white young man, "Shen Beixiong is here. I hope I didn't miss your invitation."
The white young man slowly turned back. Shen Beixiong was shocked by how young he was. He was only 27-28 years old. From the first look, he was like a royal man.
"May I know if you are Prince Xiang?" Shen Beixiong frowned his eyebrows. The white young man didn't answer directly but raised his arm, "We don't know each other. I shouldn't have sent out the invitation. But I have a good bowl of tea and the nice evening sun for you. Let's have a talk."
Hearing this, Shen Beixiong was even more worried. What he said was just like what Shen told his merchant guests just now. Shen Beixiong knew he was prepared.
"Take a seat!" The white young man pointed at the stone seat. Shen sat down. Prince Xiang poured two cups of tea. Shen carefully took up one cup. After smelling the tea, Shen said, "Your tea is of no less effort than my feast!"
The white young man looked at the west sky and didn't respond to Shen. He was murmuring, "The proud sun is setting. Sunset must be the most beautiful view in the world!"
Shen took a look at the half set sun and said lightly, "It's normal for the sun to rise and set."
The white young man laughed without making any sound. Then he turned to ask Shen, "What's most beautiful in boss Shen's eyes?"
Shen was a little surprised and thought a bit. Then he pointed at the river outside the temple and expressed, "Life is liket he water. In a blink of an eye, one's life is finished. How one spends his life matters the most. It could be like nothing or it could be shining like a star. In my eyes, star is the most beautiful."
The white young man was stunned and said, "You are a little like me." Then he took a sip of the tea and sighed, "Why don't you stop. Though the stars are beautiful, they are not for everyone. Let alone the stars mean a disaster to others."
Shen laughed. He said proudly, "Since Prince knows that we are the same type of people, you shouldn't try to convince me. You shouldn't even have invited me."
The white young man frowned and said, "So you don't plan to give me face?"
Shen inhaled and then said seriously, "It's my pride to be your enemy."
"Enemy?" The white young man laughed, "If there is indeed enemy for me, it is not you!"
Shen's face blushed but he didn't respond. He recalled all the legends about Prince Xiang. Shen knew that Prince Xiang dared to say like this. But he also vowed in his heart: Prince Xiang, you will regret for what you said today.
Just as Shen was making his vow, the old man stopped playing music. The white young man said, "You may leave now. From now on, you should be careful not to make any mistakes."
Shen was angry.
But the old man was calm. Shen alertedly checked on the old man and said, "I didn't expect that Prince Xiang had such a great fighter.
The old man said, "I am only a musician. Prince Xiang is able to afford the price. That's it."
Musician? Shen was surprised. He came up with a name right away: Killer music! He was ranked NO.2 on the killer list!
Short after Shen and his followers returned to Jinling city, his secret troup that was sent to observe Prince Xiang returned and reported, "Boss, Prince Xiang is very canny. He lost him."
Shen was not surprised. He wanted to comfort his followers. But Yingmu smiled and said, "Though we lost Prince Xiang, we have some new finding."
Yingmu continued, "We noticed that there were another group of people following Prince Xiang."
"Yes?" Shen was interested, "Who?"
"We don't know about his identity yet." Yingmu had a pround look, "But I have already sent the most capable man to watch him. Right now we only know he is in Jinling city."
"If Prince Xiang didn't show up himself, no one would ever find him." Shen frowned and then he nodded, "This time Prince Xiang asked Jiangnan Su to send the invitation to me in front of all the merchants in Jinling. It is common for others to know about his trace."
"Why don't we just take the guy here and ask him? Though we lost Prince Xiang, we still have him in our eyes." Yingmu smiled.
"No." General manager Bai said, "We don't know if he has friends. If he is not alone, we would alert his friends. Let's remain in the dark and figure out his connection with Prince Xiang first."
Shen thought for a bit and said, "Yeah. This plan is better. Prince Xiang has lots of enemies in this world. It's common for people stalking him. We only need to keep our eyes on this guy. Maybe we will have new findings."
