"Did you say you are Mr. Ji?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"I'm different from you. I never hide my head or show my tail, and I never use a substitute, so..."
"Just because you don't hide your face doesn't mean that no one else will pretend to be you." Lu Jing said calmly.
"That makes sense." The man nodded, "But Mr. Ji is just a name. It doesn't make sense. If I use it, others can't use it. There's no question of whether it's fake or not."
"I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable." Lu Jing looked sideways.
The man smiled and said, "I have always believed that if a person is willing to reason, then the people around him will also be willing to reason with him."
"So are you going to reason with me this time?"
The man nodded first, then shook his head, "I admit that I wanted to kill you before, because you killed many of our companions and also killed my most important ally. I’m quite happy to drop it.”
"Your most important ally, do you mean Hanshanke, or your kid from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace? If it's the former, I think you've found someone to disguise him now, and won't it make your anti-thief career flourish? Is it because of water, and compared to Hanshanke, a puppet should be easier to control."
"It's different." The man sighed, "The appearance and voice are easy to imitate, but the art of the emperor cannot be learned overnight. Otherwise, why do you think I want to cooperate with Zhu Zhen? It's not because of his previous Having been an emperor, do you know how to govern a place, appoint talents, and balance and coordinate all aspects of relationships?
"I may be good at planning and planning, but if you want me to quarrel with people all day long, and make excuses, you might as well kill me. To tell you the truth, I have been bored to death during this period, and I have lost weight. It’s a big circle.”
"Since you don't want to sit on that chair, why do you try every possible means to destroy Da Chen?" Lu Jing asked.
"I didn't do it to destroy the Chen Dynasty," the man corrected, "I did it to gather the power of Kyushu."
"Gather the power of all nine states to do what?"
This time the man did not answer immediately, but grinned and said, "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you? You just don't want to believe it. The reason why I want to refine that sword is actually the same reason."
Lu Jing was silent.
But it didn't take long before he said again, "It doesn't matter. You want to kill me anyway, and I don't intend to die, so I can only try to kill you first."
As Lu Jing spoke, he had already secretly clasped a flying sword in his sleeve.
He knows that the next battle will be the most difficult and dangerous battle he has faced since entering the arena.
There must be no slacking off!
But Mr. Ji on the other side still didn't make any move.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"you say."
"Zhihai is in your hands, right? Is he still alive?" The man's expression became serious.
"Still alive, why, is he important to you?"
"He is my companion, of course he is very important to me." Mr. Ji said, and then sighed, "I warned them not to let them interfere with this matter, but they didn't listen to me. If you want to help me get that knife back, Zhihai is like this, Jiang She who was killed by you before is like this, and the brother and sister in the city are like this... Sigh.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's discuss it now. When the fight starts, can you help me protect these two children, as well as Zhihai and the others... If you are willing to agree to me, then what we did before How about letting the grudges be wiped out?"
"…………"
"You want me to fight with you and protect your people at the same time?" Lu Jing felt confused.
"It's not you and me who are fighting." Mr. Ji said, "Don't you understand yet? Tonight is a trap... We can't fight."
"You have arranged other people? It doesn't matter, let them go together."
"I would like to, but it's a pity that they are not my people." Mr. Ji blinked and said.
"Whose person is that?"
"mine."
At this time, another voice came from the other end of the long street.
Lu Jing heard the voice sounded familiar and turned around.
Saw a one-armed man under a red lantern.
"Shaojian Guo?"
"it's me."
Half of Guo Shouhuai's face was illuminated by the lantern, and the other half was hidden in the shadows, which made him look a little uncertain, but his expression was as calm as ever.
"Thank you, Inspector Lu. You did a great job this time, even better than I expected. Now you can leave from here, and leave the rest to me."
Mr. Ji spread his hands and said to the surprised Lu Jing, "Look, I said it was a trap, but it's not a trap for you, but a trap for me."
As Mr. Ji finished speaking, Lu Jing saw many more figures emerging from the darkness.
Most of them are practitioners, and they are all very powerful practitioners. Among them is the one-eyed Taoist Lu Jing met in the quarry before. In addition, there are many others, fourth-level practitioners. Fifth level supervision.
Together they blocked both ends of the street.
There were even people standing on the roof nearby.
These people obviously did not just arrive, but had been ambushing here early in the morning, and they also used formations to cover their whereabouts.
"Where are your people?" Lu Jing turned to Mr. Ji again.
The latter pointed to his nose and said, "Here."
"Only you?"
Lu Jing originally thought that the man would proudly say that I alone am enough, but he didn't expect that the latter would also have a sad look on his face, "Either way, this is a trap."
"You are too imprudent."
"You don't understand," Mr. Ji shook his head, "I have someone in Si Tian Prison, and I have been asking him to help me keep an eye on Guo Shouhuai's movements. All signs show that Guo Shouhuai should deal with a very powerful monster in the East China Sea tonight. , and the other supervisors didn’t make any changes, so I came here to fight back with you.”
"You said Zhihai, is he so capable?"
"It's not Zhihai," Guo Shouhuai said, "it's Su Tixue. He has been secretly communicating with Mr. Ji."
Lu Jing was really shocked this time, "Su Tixue is a traitor?! Is this... is this true?"
"I have to admit, I did underestimate your city a little." Mr. Ji said to Guo Shouhuai, "What I admire most is not that you discovered the secrets of Su Tixue and me, but that you were able to tolerate such things after finding the person. For a long time, I have been pretending not to know anything, just waiting to plot against me. Do you know how long this has been going on, half a month, a month, or..."
"About...eight years," Guo Shouhuai said lightly.
