Bab 145: To Win (2)

Lu Shi seemed to be quite satisfied with this effect. He took the tea from his sister, Lu Qin, and said slowly, "A few imperial guards who were scouting the hunting grounds found a tiger by a river near the foot of the Five Peaks. Many people went after hearing about it. Some wanted to hunt the tiger, and some wanted to see it."

Wei Jiaoniang was deep in thought. She glanced at Yu Chaoyun and the others' shed again, raised her chin, and asked, "Did they follow to watch the commotion?"

"Yes, they entered the forest half an hour ago." Lu Shi nodded. "If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have followed them to watch the commotion."

Towards the end, Lu Shi seemed to be unable to help but complain to them.
