He was someone who always wanted to have his cake and eat it too. If Cheng Jiaxuan died, the secret manual would never be found again, but he didn't want to take this risk to save someone. He tugged on Li Yijie's sleeve and said with a mischievous smile, "Alliance Head Li is righteous and selfless. You never have the heart to leave someone in the lurch. You'd rather sacrifice yourself to protect your friends. Jiahua and Xiao Xuan are still children. Besides, Xiao Xuan is Yun … Gui Fei's man. If you save her, you'll be able to get some benefits from your lover. "His mouth was full of praises as he pushed him to the side of the cave.
Li Yijie really didn't say anything. He squatted down and leaned close to the entrance of the cave, poking his head out to look down. Lu Qian was overjoyed when he saw this and praised repeatedly, "I knew Alliance Head Li was the most benevolent and righteous, the kindest and most sincere person. I've found the right person to ask for your help. In the future, if there's another Alliance Head election, I'll definitely vote for you. I, Lu Qian, will definitely follow you, Alliance Head Li. " Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Li Yijie still maintained his original position. He didn't move, but the expression on his face became more and more anxious.
Lu Qian resisted the urge to slap him on the head and kick him down. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a black shadow appear in the tunnel. It ran as if it was flying, coming and going like the wind. With a whoosh, it drilled out of the cave and put down the person on its shoulder. Lu Qian was flabbergasted. He was carrying a person on his back, but his running speed was something that even Lu Qian himself might not be able to catch up to. His strength was truly astounding.
Li Yijie bowed to the ground and said, "Yuan Daxia, this life-saving grace is greater than saving this humble one's life. I will never dare to forget this great kindness. I will definitely repay it in the future. "
So that person was Yuan Yi, and the person he saved was Nangong Xue. Lu Qian was surprised to see that even though Li Yijie had just accused him of being cold, wasn't his behavior exactly the same? Similarly, he had abandoned Nangong Xue because he was running for his life. Now that these two matters were clear, he felt much more at ease.
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Yijie was still bowing and expressing his gratitude, Lu Qian beat him to it. He took a step forward and squatted in front of Nangong Xue. Holding her in his arms, he pretended to feel guilty and said, "Xueer, it's all my fault. I can't believe I abandoned you. But don't blame Alliance Head Li. He's seriously injured and can't use his internal energy. What do you expect of a sick man? You still want to blame me, I deserve to die, really deserve to die, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, I … that … cough cough … in short, I did something disgraceful, hit me, hit me! "As he spoke, he picked up her hand and slapped himself. He started off with a lot of momentum, but in the end, he used her soft hand to gently caress his face. This situation was really like a pair of lovers who had been separated for a long time.
Yuan Yi coughed dryly and said, "Don't waste your energy, Miss Nangong hasn't woken up yet. She won't hear anything you say. Let's wait for a while before you put on this show of life and death. "
Lu Qian didn't expect that his intentions would be so well known, so he laughed awkwardly. But then his heart brightened. Since Yuan Yi could save Nangong Xue, saving Cheng Jiaxuan wouldn't cost him much. He quickly pulled on Yuan Yi's sleeve and stood up with an apologetic smile. He laughed and said, "Young Master Yuan, I can't hide anything from you. Hehe, Big Brother Yuan, Young Master Yuan, I also want to ask you for a favor. Go to the Hall of the Dead and save … that little girl called Cheng Jiaxuan. Don't you know her? That's right, you're still friends. "As soon as he thought of this, his hope increased.
Yuan Yi said indifferently, "I won't save her. I won't. " Lu Qian didn't understand the meaning of those two words, "I won't save her", but the "I won't save her" was a clear refusal, leaving no room for negotiation. He anxiously asked, "Then why?"
Yuan Yi said, "There's no reason. Don't tell me I'm here to save her? Right now I've been entrusted by you to save her. Later on, everyone will entrust me to save their teachers and friends. You want me to run until my legs break and die of exhaustion in the Hall of the Dead? I'm not a hero who acts bravely for a just cause, you're praising the wrong person. "Lu Qian was very anxious. He said," I didn't ask you to act bravely for a just cause, I was entrusted by others to do my job. You also know that her body is the weakest here, her martial arts are the worst. If you don't save her, she'll die. "
Yuan Yi said, "Then let her die. The survival of the fittest and the elimination of the weak, that's right and proper. If she didn't have any self-defense skills, how could she have the guts to cause trouble in that ancient tomb? There's nothing wrong with paying the price for one's responsibility. " As he said that, he took a few steps and suddenly revealed a faint smile. He said, "Besides, didn't you warn me early on that she's a jinx? That's good, she'll completely take away your bad luck, and you'll be able to get on the right track in the future. "
Lu Qian smiled apologetically, "That's just nonsense, how can you believe it? Young Master Yuan, if others beg you, you can just ignore them. If anyone dares to do that, I'll help you deal with them. But you can't ignore my request. What's the relationship between the two of us? That's a friendship of life and death! We live and die together, we share trials and tribulations. In the Hall of the Dead, the two of us escaped from death together. A friendship formed through trials and tribulations cannot be easily erased. That's more precious than anything else. "
Yuan Yi smiled faintly. He said, "If we're talking about going through trials and tribulations together, who in the Hall of the Dead isn't the same? Since I can ignore them, I naturally don't need to pay attention to you. If you think that you're unique, that you're so amazing that saving someone is as easy as blowing off dust for you, then go and save them yourself. "
Lu Qian anxiously said, "So you're saying that you're determined not to agree?" Yuan Yi said, "That's not necessarily true. As long as you can give me a convincing reason. "Lu Qian originally wanted to ask," You think you're virtuous and virtuous, so why can you save Xueer? " But he was also sincerely happy that Nangong Xue could be saved. How could he use his own wish to be fulfilled to question someone else? His words froze there. After half a day he hatefully squeezed out, "Yuan Yi, you're really ruthless." Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Compared to An Yesun, how's that?"
Lu Qian had been the chief of the Great Stronghold for six years. He was used to ordering people around, but he didn't dare to be unreasonable to these people. In front of them, he could only be a small attendant who bowed and smiled apologetically. Unfortunately, Yuan Yi was one of them. He could only suffer in silence. He moved closer to the entrance of the cave to take a look.
This time the falling rocks were much more serious than before. Smoke filled the air. He could faintly see people running away inside the Hall of the Dead. He thought about how it wasn't easy for him to escape from the pitch-black Hall of the Dead. Unexpectedly, he had to go down and throw away his life again. This time, it would be much more difficult to come back up. Moreover, he knew that his lightness kung fu was far inferior to Yuan Yi's. If he carried another person, he was afraid that he would collapse halfway. At that time, they would just be throwing away their lives together.
Even if it was Nangong Xue, "living together" was inevitable, but whether or not they "died together" was still up for discussion. If he died together with Cheng Jiaxuan without knowing why, this Hall of the Dead would be a natural burial place for them. If he were to be mistaken as a pair of lovers who died hand in hand on the Bridge of Helplessness, even the Flying Snow of Six Moons wouldn't be able to recount this eternal injustice.
"Also, even if we can escape safely, what if she just so happens to wake up and knows that I saved her? She will mistakenly think that I am interested in her and will rely on me from then on. What should I do then?"
If it was someone else's life, naturally the secret manual was more important than the person's. When it was his turn, he had to carefully consider it. Moreover, even if he wanted to save someone, he could only save Cheng Jiaxuan alone. After all, the secret manual was still a benefit. Cheng Jiahua was of the same mind. There was no harm in sacrificing someone else to save him, but he couldn't lose his life for this.
He repeatedly hesitated. Several times in his mind, he leaped into the Hall of the Dead, quickly found Cheng Jiaxuan's location, and then brought her back to the surface. He even felt that it wouldn't be too difficult. But when it came to carrying it out, his calves and forearms were cramping. He couldn't make up his mind.
Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard the sound of sabers and spears colliding in the distance, followed by a loud shout, "Is that the rebel thief with the Death Seeking Chop? Surround them, arrest them all! "As soon as the voice fell, a group of officers and soldiers lined up in front of them. They were wearing the low-level Imperial Bodyguard uniform of the Palace. They quickly spread out on the spot and formed a tight circle, surrounding the righteous people who had just escaped. Another person pointed the barrel of his gun at Lu Qian and shouted, "What are you doing hiding on the side? Come over here and stand obediently! "
Lu Qian suddenly had a bright idea. He pointed at Yuan Yi and said, "Do you see that person? The Death Seeking Chop is in his hands. If you subdue him and snatch it, you will have rendered a great service to the higher-ups. You will be promoted and become rich. "The officer shouted," Audacious rebel thief! Who are you? You want to bribe this officer? When did you have the right to make a fuss? "
Lu Qian angrily said, "Impudent! Are your dog eyes blind? Laozi is your immediate superior, Lu Qian Daren Lu. That's right, An Yesun is dead, his vacant position should be taken by me. I am Shao Shuai Lu, commanding you to fight the rebel thieves. Who dares not to listen to me? "
The officer had heard of his name and knew that he used to be the Qingtian Stronghold's chief. After being recruited, he also directly took orders from Noble Consort Yun. He also heard that this person was narrow-minded. If he offended him, losing his official position was a small matter, but losing his head was a big matter. He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "So it's Lu Daren. Please forgive this lowly one's eyes. "
Lu Qian magnanimously waved his hand and said, "Forget it, who told you to be a lowly official? It's indeed not easy for a small guard running errands to see this commander. Remember it this time, don't forget it next time. "The officer nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, but in his heart he thought," Next time I won't see you, this god of plague! "
Lu Qian said in a low voice, "Look at that elegant and beautiful young man, he is the new master of the Death Seeking Chop. But the treasured saber is wanted by Niangniang. No matter how fair this pretty boy's face is, even if he wears white clothes, he can't snatch it. You are ordered to snatch the saber, go over. "The officer said," Yes, Lu Daren. Please go ahead. "
Lu Qian thought that walking in front was an honor, he couldn't follow behind a small guard. He laughed and said, "Sure enough, you're becoming more and more sensible. It seems that this person can't be scolded too little. "He walked into the circle with his head held high. Standing in front of Yuan Yi, he laughed and said, "Young Master Yuan, you didn't expect this, did you? Every dog has its day. You'd better hand over the Death Seeking Chop as soon as possible. " He leaned close to his ear and said in a low voice, "If you promise me to go down and save her, I can help you think of a way." He turned back to face him and smiled, waiting for his response.
Yuan Yi laughed coldly and said, "Master Lu, do you really want the Death Seeking Chop that much? Just tell me directly, why bother with so many people? I think I'm easy to talk to. If you want it, I'll give it to you. Take it. "As he said that, he stretched out his arm and held the Death Seeking Chop horizontally in front of him.
Lu Qian was overjoyed, he immediately stretched out his hand to receive it. Yuan Yi took advantage of the opportunity to swing his arm, the Death Seeking Chop horizontally slashed forward. Fortunately, as soon as Lu Qian stretched out his hand, he was immediately alert. He thought about how Yuan Yi risked his life to snatch the Death Seeking Chop, how could he give it to him so easily? He also thought about how he readily agreed to Liu Mujian's request, but in the end he still hid a knife behind a smile. This young master must be what people call a smiling tiger. His face was smiling kindly, but his heart was even more treacherous.
Lu Qian hastily withdrew his hand and leaped back. Even so, the front of his clothes was still cut open, revealing his skin. Just now, if he was just a split second slower, that attack would have cut him in half. He was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He shouted, "You … you little brat, you dare to mount a sneak attack?" He pulled out his nine-section whip and slashed it across the air.
