Lu Qian was surprised. "Little Nephew has long heard of Shibo's awe-inspiring reputation," he said, "I have nothing but respect in my heart. I wonder how I have offended Shibo that I would not be able to redeem myself even if I die ten thousand times?" The Kongtong Sect Leader heard his sincerity and did not seem to be lying. "Is it because of the 'Kunlun Shuang Xia'?" he probed further.
Lu Qian saw his eyes were evasive, he did not dare to meet his eyes, plus his words were evasive, as if there was a secret behind this matter. But offending this big shot for the sake of two insignificant disabled people was not worth it. Thereupon he feigned ignorance and said, "My two Shidi were killed by those Huashan thieves! Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. If Shibo is willing to help avenge them, little Nephew will be extremely grateful. "The Kongtong Sect Leader was relieved." Huashan Pai, Huashan Pai! " He sneered, "Huashan Pai, Huashan Pai," he said, "Humph, humph, the reason I am in this state is also because of those little bastards from Huashan Pai."
"What kind of enmity does Xiong Pai have with Huashan Pai?" the Sect Leader asked. "It's all because of Meng Zhangmen's good disciples! Those two colluded with the Manchurian Qing to rob the escort money and killed Jianye Escort Agency's Long Zongescort. Wulin's righteous path has always been of the same breath and branch. As their senior, the Penniless Priest could not bear to see Huashan producing such rebellious disciples who are ruining the reputation of the righteous path. Therefore, I stepped forward and shouted to stop them, trying to persuade them to repent on the wrong path. But they have been obstinate for a long time, how could they listen to the Penniless Priest's advice? "
Lu Qian added fuel to the fire, "Shibo is right, those were not ordinary escort money. Do you know why Tong Guan fell into enemy hands? Rumor has it that it was because the soldiers were robbed of their provisions. As a result, the military strength was low, the people's hearts were scattered, and finally our Central Earth's rivers and mountains fell into foreign hands. But although those two thieves deserved to be hacked to pieces, without Meng Zhangmen's instruction, how could they dare to act on their own in this kind of national destruction? It's not that little Nephew is criticizing Meng Shibo behind his back, it's just that as a grandmaster of his generation, his conduct is unsightly! " He knew that the Beggar Clan people abhorred evil as their personal enemy, but their knowledge of political affairs was limited. Therefore, he deliberately made it vague and made it difficult for people to distinguish the truth from the lies.
Sure enough, Bangzhu was enraged. "Several times Meng Anying has led her disciples to make things difficult for us," he said in a deep voice, "Naturally she is trying to curry favor with the Devil Cult. But she did not realize that in the eyes of the new master, what kind of position does a traitor have?" Lu Qian and the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another. Hearing these words, they felt guilty and did not say anything. It was quite a while before Lu Qian finally said, "Because the Beggar Clan has its own rules and regulations, we cannot change them without our permission. Shibo has been bored for quite a few days. How about Little Nephew invite you to the Banished Immortal Restaurant to eat some fish and meat to nourish your body?" The Kongtong Sect Leader was unwilling to show his face at this moment. He casually said, "Martial Nephew Lu, I appreciate your kind intentions."
The Clan Leader originally felt that he had not treated him well enough. After knowing his identity, he felt even more discourteous. He stepped forward and said, "It's hard for Nephew Lu to have this kind of heart. It's not easy among the younger generation. Dao Xiong, please don't brush away his good intentions. Let's go to the Hero Assembly together. The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect hesitated. "This …" he still wanted to refuse. Lu Qian quietly said, "Little Nephew wants to discuss this important matter with Shibo." The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect was startled; he was full of doubts. He changed his mind and said, "Deferentially it is better to accept."
The shopkeeper of the Banished Immortal Restaurant opened his restaurant purely to make a living; he did not want to be a hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness. Seeing Lu Qian had the Prince's command tablet, he busily nodded and bowed to invite the guests to sit down. He also waived the two of them from paying the bill and ordered the waiter to serve them well. The waiter eloquently introduced the restaurant's specialties. Lu Qian impatiently said, "What are you talking about? Give us several plates of the restaurant's most expensive and best dishes. "
The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect laughed and said, "I let you eat and drink for free, are you going to eat until you are poor?" Lu Qian laughed and said, "If I don't eat to my heart's content right now, won't I have to wait until some other day to spend money? If drinking wine is not harmful to the body, Little Nephew would definitely invite Shibo to taste Chang 'an's best wine. "" Thank you very much, "the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect said indifferently. "Don't talk too much, just get straight to the point."
Lu Qian also sternly said, "I wonder how Shibo sees the current world situation?" The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect sighed and said, "Isn't it obvious? The charging army has been routed, the new Emperor has ascended the throne. Whatever other people want to do, it is already too late. It's a pity that all my efforts have been in vain. "With a cold laugh Lu Qian said," Could it be that Shibo's' body is disabled, your mind is also disabled '? May I venture to ask, in your heart do you hate the entire Huashan Pai, or the people within the Pai? "
"Why are you asking such a pointless question?" the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect asked. "Of course I have my reasons," Lu Qian said, "Please allow Little Nephew to explain later. Right now I am asking Shibo to tell me the truth." With a hateful voice the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect said, "Those two little bastards of Huashan Pai have spoiled my great undertaking, they must be eliminated. Their school originated from Huashan, Shifu did not teach them well, it is difficult for me to absolve myself from the blame! "
Lu Qian shook his head and said, "Personal enmity is so narrow and narrow, turns out Shibo's vision is also this short-sighted. Just think, when the nest is overturned, how can there be an unbroken egg? If we can take over the entire Huashan Pai, won't those two little thieves stretch out their necks to be slaughtered? By the same logic, once we control the world, our former enemies will be easily captured. This is a lot more valuable than being obsessed with revenge. " Although he had guessed that Li Yijie and Nangong Xue were most likely dead, he did not want to expose them for the time being, because he wanted to use this as an excuse to force the other side to cooperate with him.
Previously the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect had not thought about this matter, but as he listened, his heart was greatly relieved, as if he was suddenly enlightened. His cold ambition gradually came back to life. He heard Lu Qian continue, "You must know that the road to hegemony is paved with blood and corpses. If my two Shidi can become the stepping stones of the king, they will not die in vain."
Hearing him mentioning the Shuang Xia of Kunlun, although he was somewhat upset, he also secretly praised this young man's farsightedness and quick-wittedness. He laughed and said, "Too bad you are already a disciple of Kunlun, otherwise Lao Dao would really want you to enter my school." With a wicked laugh Lu Qian said, "Although you and I are not master and disciple in name, we are master and disciple in reality." The Sect Leader's countenance darkened. "What?" he asked, "You want to trick your master into learning martial art?"
Lu Qian mused, "Learning several moves of Kongtong Pai martial art from you is my respect for you. Even if I trained like you, wouldn't I still be beaten half dead? What's so strange about that?" Changing the subject, he said, "I don't dare. Xiao Nephew recently obtained a sword manual, its meaning is profound and difficult to understand. I want to ask Shibo for advice." While saying that, he took out the manual from his bosom and presented it with both hands. He did not say that the manual belonged to the Offering Shadow Cult, because he was afraid the other side would be greedy. "Hmm," the Kongtong Sect Leader grunted. He took the manual and flipped through it. His fingers tapped the table repeatedly. Lu Qian waited anxiously, but it was inappropriate for him to rush him.
The Kongtong Sect Leader did not read for too long. His face gradually showed disdain. He clasped his hands together and said, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but the moves in this manual are flashy but impractical. If you use this to fight the enemy, I am afraid you won't be able to last more than a few stances before your head will be separated from your body. Martial Nephew Lu, please don't carelessly treat our troupe's vaudeville manual as a treasure, do you? "These words were full of mockery, but they were also a jab at Lu Qian's previous words. Lu Qian said in his heart, "You said the Offering Shadow Cult's martial art is a vaudeville trick, then what about the numerous heroes and warriors who died under their hands?"
The Kongtong Sect Leader knew that Lu Qian did not want to share the manual with him, so he pretended to be displeased. He stood up and said, "Martial Nephew Lu does not sincerely want to borrow the manual, the Penniless Priest does not want to force you. Just consider it a blessing." He pretended to leave, Lu Qian did not try to stop him. Sure enough, after taking several steps, he turned around and sat down. He was about to say something sarcastic when suddenly he saw Lu Qian turned his face to the side with a frightened expression on his face. "Shibo," he asked, "What are you doing?" The Kongtong Sect Leader picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table and pointed behind him. "Is that little girl over there from your Kunlun Sect?" he asked.
Lu Qian looked around and saw the girl in purple, Chu Menglin, whom he had met on the battlefield of Tongguan. She was sitting alone at a table with one hand supporting her chin, drinking wine to drown her sorrows. He thought that Lu Qian wanted to use this opportunity to make bogus accusations; hastily he cleared his name and said, "You can't speak irresponsibly. She is the daughter of the Devil Cult Hierarch, she has nothing to do with our humble Sect." The Kongtong Sect Leader was startled, "Are you serious?" I heard An Yesun of the Devil Sect call her 'Miss' with my own ears. I can't be wrong. "
The Kongtong Sect Leader was even more surprised. He said, "An Yesun, the 'Savage Fiend Star'? This man is a devil who kills people without batting an eyelid. You walked past him, how could you still be alive? "His words were full of doubt. Lu Qian lowered his voice and said, "That's all because of Miss Chu. An Yesun is very obedient and considerate to her. Because of her, he doesn't get along well with Young Master Jiang Liechen. Hmm, this time Young Master Jiang is the great general who broke the city, his military service is outstanding, but I don't know why the Qing Court did not mention anything about him … "
The Kongtong Sect Leader's expression was strange; he muttered to himself, "I was wondering who he was, turns out he is the Devil Cult's Young Master. Very good, this kid dares to make things difficult for me, I will make him suffer, he will have to bear the consequences!" It's just that he always loved talented people, so he had no choice but to cooperate with Lu Qian. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Otherwise, with his literary skills inferior to the Tang Yuancheng, his martial art skill inferior to Jiang Liechen, his only empty ambition and aspiration was comparable to his own, he did not think highly of him. Rolling his eyes, he laughed and said, "This is a meat pie falling from the sky. We will capture this witch and bring her to the Great Assembly of Heroes and kill her in front of everybody, as a sacrifice to the deceased. Then we will incite the Devil Cult's conflict and divide, and seize the opportunity to wipe them out for the benefit of the people. It will be a great merit. When that time comes, if you want to be the Wulin's Meng Zhu, nobody will dare to say half a word 'no'. "
Lu Qian indifferently said, "This matter should be handled by Shibo, only then can we succeed." "No," the Kongtong Sect Leader said, "This witch is a sly spirit, she knows me. In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, you must go. It would be best if you can deceive her into trusting you. If you can't, you can use medicine to knock her out and take her away by force." Seeing Lu Qian was bashful and did not move, he urged, "Go quickly. Moreover, Shizhi Lu is young and handsome, won't it be easy to coax her?"
"Old fox!" Lu Qian cursed in his heart. But he was quite pleased with this flattery. Sure enough, it was' thousand or ten thousand hits, flattery won't get through '. After carefully straightening his clothes and straightening his hair, he walked toward Chu Menglin's side. With a dry cough he said, "Um … Miss, all along Zaixia has never forgotten Miss' life-saving grace. Meeting you today is really a coincidence. I wonder why Miss is here alone?"
Chu Menglin cast a sidelong glance toward Lu Qian. Remembering that he was the traitor of the Kunlun Sect who was ordered to 'protect' her, she crossly said, "This is called 'a pot of wine amidst the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date'. That kind of artistic conception, I don't think you can understand it."
Lu Qian sat down across from her. He picked up the wine pot and slowly poured himself a cup. With a laugh he said, "Under the moon and flowers, on a fine day and beautiful scenery, Zaixia's saying is' if I die under the peony flower, I'll be a romantic ghost '." Finished speaking, he drained the cup in one gulp. The corners of Chu Menglin's mouth twitched slightly. In the end she could not help laughing. Narrowing her eyes she said, "Hey, tell me honestly. How many young girls have you fooled with those words?"
Lu Qian said, "In all honesty, Heaven and Earth, Zaixia's words are sincere, they come from the bottom of my heart. As soon as I see such an outstanding beauty like you, I am willing to give up everything in the world just to say one more sentence to you, to make you look at me one more time. If I can see your beautiful smile, 'even death would be worth it'. Zaixia cannot cast Miss aside even for a moment, cannot let go. Wherever you go, I am willing to be your escort, accompanying you by your side. "
"Humph," Chu Menglin said coldly, "Glib tongue, don't you think it's mushy? Why do you always compare me to a flower? Once the flowering period is over, it will eventually wither. "Lu Qian laughed and said," The flower wilts, but it will bloom again someday. There is a saying, 'this year's flower is better than last year'. "Chu Menglin sighed and said," No matter how beautiful it is, it is not last year's flower. "Lu Qian laughed and said," In that case, I will say that Miss is as dazzling as the sun and the moon, enduring thousands of autumns and ten thousand years without dying. "
