The last trump card that Qiao Shifang was proud of, the leader of Huashan, Shang Jidao, stabbed a big hole in himself in front of Lu Hanjiang. At this moment, he just felt that the world was crazy.
That sword hit the vital part, almost wiping away all the strength of Qiao Shifang's body. He collapsed to the ground like mud, with hatred in his eyes like a boiling oil pan.
But at this moment, what he hates most is not Lu Hanjiang, but Shang Jidao!
"Shang Jidao, are you crazy? Why did you attack me!"
Qiao Shifang never dreamed that Huashan, who had been on the same side with them since he took over as leader, would suddenly rebel at this time. It makes no sense at all... No!
"Shang Luo?"
On the verge of death, Qiao Shifang's thoughts became brighter. He looked at Shang Jidao blankly and asked, "Is it because of Shang Luo that you chose to help him?"
Shang Jidao frowned and said nothing, but in Qiao Shifang's eyes, this look was undoubtedly his acquiescence.
"Idiot!" Qiao Shifang yelled angrily: "Don't even think about how Li Guishou died! As long as that stupid girl has any conscience, she will never join this man named Lu."
"Brother Xian, this is too much."
When his name was called, Lu Hanjiang said innocently: "Li Guishou was forced to death by the Huangfu family, but I didn't touch him at all. At that time, I asked Jin Yiwei to open a way for the father and daughter to leave safely. This No matter what the favor is, it must be worth calling her a benefactor."
"Pooh!"
Qiao Shifang spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, but Lu Hanjiang shrank back and dodged him. He frowned and said, "Brothers are already going to die, why don't you save some grace for yourself."
Although spitting can't cause any real harm, it is extremely insulting. After all, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, can you still be so good that you don't have to wash your clothes?
"Do you think anyone will believe this kind of nonsense?" Qiao Shifang stared at Lu Hanjiang with vicious eyes and said, "You can't even deceive a three-year-old child with these tricks of yours. Do you think that girl is a fool?"
"No matter what you say, it was the two deputy Qianhu who took action, and the one who fired the arrow was the brother of Jin Yiwei. But from the beginning to the end, I didn't know that the one who was being hunted was Li Guishou."
As he said that, Lu Hanjiang changed the subject and said, "Besides, that girl is much smarter than you, your good brother. Before the death of the Huangfu family, she would never remember me for this blood feud."
"Absurd!" Qiao Shifang cursed.
"They say that a person can be ignorant of all kinds of things, but he must have a certain skill. Brother Qiao, if your skills are not good, and even your brain is like this, aren't you useless?"
Lu Hanjiang counted it carefully with his fingers: "Brother, let's not mention that Li Guishou is a member of Bai Ding, and he is also a member of the devil. With his status, how can he afford the funeral ceremony of seven taels of silver? If he hadn't I sent someone to say hello, and the official came to your door a long time ago to question and arrest the person. Do you accept this kindness?"
Qiao Shifang sneered disdainfully.
"Not to mention, that girl was crying all over because of Li Guishou's death. I stayed up late at night to bring her blankets and water. Such a close friend can't be found even with a lantern."
Lu Hanjiang sighed helplessly: "It's said that you, Qiao Shifang, hang out in brothels and meet countless women. Why are you in your thirties and you don't even know how to win a girl's heart? You deserve to have such a good face. In the end, You have to pay out of your own pocket to visit the brothel, hey."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Shifang's face turned green. He simply ignored Lu Hanjiang's crazy words. He gritted his teeth and turned to the Shang Jidao to question: "He just used this nonsense to make you This old dog has surrendered to another master?"
Shang Jidao remained silent, but the sorrow in his expression clearly agreed with Lu Hanjiang's statement.
Regardless of those myths, Shang Jidao only looks at the facts, that is, Shangluo and Lu Hanjiang have a good relationship. Secondly, compared to Qiao Shifang, who has been played in the palm of his hand from beginning to end, Lu Hanjiang is obviously more reliable.
Even Qiao Shifang was being plotted to death. Shang Jidao didn't believe that Lu Hanjiang wouldn't leave any behind for Shang Luo's obvious target.
Unlike Qiao Shifang, who could negotiate the price, Shang Jidao couldn't see through Lu Hanjiang's details at all, and he really didn't dare to guess what he would do. But Zhuyu was ahead of him, and even Huangfu Xiaoyuan died because of his scheme, let alone Xiaoyuan. A smaller Shangluo.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Hahaha——"
Qiao Shifang was bleeding continuously. After laughing three times, he died of breathlessness.
Shang Jidao leaned down, probed Qiao Shifang's breath with his fingers, and then nodded to Lu Hanjiang: "Dead."
Lu Hanjiang hummed, pulled out the Xingxuan Sword, and stabbed Qiao Shifang's heart.
This scene made Shang Jidao puzzled, and he asked: "Brother Lu, why are you doing this?"
Lu Hanjiang shook off the blood on the knife, sheathed it, and said with a smile: "We are all friends, and we must be willing to protect each other. You and I are Qiao Xiandi's most intimate friends, and you have returned the sword to him." , I will naturally make up for the missing sword."
"..." Perhaps because he couldn't keep up with Lu Hanjiang's out-of-the-box thinking, Shang Jidao said nothing.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Lu Hanjiang himself had something like the Xixi Pill. If he didn't make up for it with a knife, how could he say that Qiao Shifang was really dead?
Lu Hanjiang confirmed that Qiao Shifang's death was complete, so he ignored the corpse and turned to Shang Jidao and said, "Brother Shang, there are still two doubts. Is it possible to solve them?"
"Brother Lu wants to ask about Li Guishou, right?" Shang Jidao did not continue to conceal it, but told the truth: "As early as more than ten years ago, my uncle somehow got into the imperial court and wanted to take advantage of it. With the power of Jin Yiwei, he has been fighting for the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. Although there has been no progress for many years, he has never thought of giving up, so he played a great role in the Wandaomen incident."
As he spoke, Shang Jidao showed a self-deprecating smile: "I just didn't expect that Li Guishou's Blood Demon Sword Technique was worthy of being one of the best in the world, and that my uncle would die on the spot, and many of his disciples and elders would also die tragically." .”
Lu Hanjiang nodded and asked, "If that's the case, why do you have such contact with him?"
"It was just fate many years ago. At that time, he and I didn't know each other's identity. He saved my life by some strange combination of circumstances, and I also returned the favor. Over time, a friendship remained.
Later, for some reason, he often stayed in that place in the south of the Yangtze River. He happened to be in trouble and had to place Luo'er in the south of the Yangtze River, so he simply asked Li Guishou to take care of Luo'er until the Wandao Clan was destroyed. Then he settled in Jiangnan. "
"Why? He killed so many disciples of your sect, and you don't hate him?"
"No hate," Shang Jidao said without any hesitation: "The headmaster and the elders decided to join forces with the Jinyiwei. They were the ones who chose to use the many disciples as the road to advancement, so they killed those disciples. It's the ambition of these people, not Li Guishou."
"What you said is unusual." Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he thought of.
Shang Jidao looked at the bright moon in the sky and said in a sad tone: "Although Li Guishou was born in the devil's way, he could not hide his heroic spirit. He entrusted Luoer to him, thinking that he could protect her peace for the rest of her life and not get into this quagmire. Unexpectedly, it was God’s will after all.”
"How could the daughter of the leader of Huashan be willing to live a life of ignorance?"
Lu Hanjiang smiled and praised, looking at Shang Jidao a little deeper: "Since Mr. Shang's daughter was entrusted to Li Gui's hand, who are the two children I picked up from Huashan? "
"...I don't know either."
Shang Jidao was silent for a long time and said: "That day, my uncle suddenly brought those two children and said that he wanted to keep them in my name. That's why I hurriedly sent Luo'er to the land of Jiangnan. Avoid disaster.”
After hearing this, Lu Hanjiang smiled and handed Shang Ji, "In any case, thanks to Mr. Shang's generous help today, I would like to thank you."
"I'm serious," Shang Jidao looked at Qiao Shifang on the ground and said, "With Qiao Shifang's ability, how can he hurt Brother Lu."
"Mr. Shang, you must think too highly of me. This Qiao Shifang is considered outstanding among the thousands of royal guards, and he has practiced many martial arts. If he joins forces with Mr. Shang, I'm afraid-" Lu Hanjiang smiled slightly, That's all.
Shang Jidao did not comment on this. Although he could not tell the depth of Lu Hanjiang, judging from the battle at Huashan, it seemed that he was only slightly stronger than Protector Namo.
He said: "This Qiao Shifang did not practice various martial arts at the same time. He actually knows one martial arts. He can imitate other martial arts and practice it to the extreme. He can use all the martial arts in the world exactly after seeing them at a glance. , even better than others."
"There is such a martial arts? It can't be Xiao Wuxiang Kung." Lu Hanjiang was surprised. Shang Jidao's words made him pay attention to Qiao Shifang's martial arts.
Shang Jidao was surprised and said: "Brother Lu is so knowledgeable that he actually knows the Xiaowuxiang Kung Fu. I have only heard from my seniors before that the Xiaoyao Sect has such a martial art."
"You're really a happy-go-lucky guy."
Lu Hanjiang had a headache. It wasn't that this sect was strong, but that they were neither righteous nor demons, and their whereabouts were erratic. Even the Jin Yiwei couldn't find out where their mountain sect was.
The reason why they are said to be neither righteous nor demons is because, in the eyes of the righteous way, these people are all unfettered demonic madmen. In the eyes of the devil, these people are just hypocrites who are just trying to gain fame and reputation from the righteous way. Therefore, the Xiaoyao sect cannot please both sides, so they end up in a bad situation. The embarrassing position of being a demon.
For a while, Lu Hanjiang had no good way to find them, so he just put the matter aside for the time being.
At this point, the two of them had left a way to communicate with each other, and they were about to leave. Before leaving, Shang Jidao solemnly bowed to Lu Hanjiang:
"Shang Jidao is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses. I just ask Mr. Lu to treat Luo'er well."
