Chapter 27 The difference between father and daughter
As the saying goes, every grievance has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Originally, as long as Li Guishou died, all these years of resentment would disappear. After all, the Wan Dao Sect has long since disappeared, and all the swordsmen under his command have also dispersed.
But now, Li Guishou suddenly had a daughter, and everything became different.
The Huangfu family has clear grievances. They would not and would not bother to deal with Shangluo alone, but if they take the initiative to protect her, it is absolutely impossible.
Everyone pushed back. It was not just the Huangfu family who had a grudge against Li Guishou. It was just that they were remembered most clearly as the main force in destroying the Wan Dao Sect back then.
The Wan Dao Sect has grown step by step from a third-rate bandit den that made money to a demonic sect that is talked about by everyone in the world. It cannot be justified by reason. Every time it grows, it is accompanied by killing and hatred.
How many people are here today? The fact that Li Guishou has a daughter cannot be hidden. There will naturally be people who want to kill Shangluo, and there are quite a few of them.
Li Guishou knew that his journey in the world had stopped today, but Shangluo was still young, and he could not let this child be buried with him at the same age as Hua.
"Wait a minute!" He pointed his sword at the Huangfu group and said in a deep voice: "You want nothing more than my life. It's okay. I'm being generous today, so it's okay to give it to you."
"I've made it clear," Huangfu Xiaoyuan said, holding two axes, and the more hatred she had, the more murderous she was: "Your life will be taken away by the Huangfu family with their own hands."
"Girl of the Huangfu family, I really want to leave, can you stop me? If the official brothers over there don't take action, what can you do to me in this big world?" Li Guishou put the Pu Dao on his shoulder and looked down proudly.
With Huangfu Xiaoyuan.
"Madman."
As he spoke, the atmosphere around Huangfu Xiaoyuan changed strangely. Under her white neck, countless purple-black strange lines began to grow slowly and spread, like a hand, clinging to the edge of her cheek.
Li Guishou's expression gradually changed. Others might just think it was strange, but only he who practiced the same type of martial arts could clearly sense that it was a demonic skill.
Magic skills are a broad concept. Most of the skills that are based on harming oneself can be called magic skills. Just like his Blood Demon Sword Technique, it must be activated by one's own blood in order to exert its maximum power.
.
He could not identify the specific martial arts that Huangfu Xiaoyuan practiced, but there was no doubt that it was a demonic skill. Since she had such a murderous weapon in hand, her strength could not be controlled by common sense.
"I really admire you," Li Guishou helplessly shook his head: "Don't your Huangfu family also claim to be well-known and righteous? How can you act like this without fear of being reviled by the world?"
He stared at the double axes in Huangfu Xiaoyuan's hands, his brows slowly coming together. Now he was at the end of his rope. He wanted to test the opponent's strength again. It was useless to win. If he lost accidentally, it would only increase the variables.
.
"Stop it, girl from the Huangfu family," Li Guishou sighed and slowly put down the knife: "You insist on killing me, but do you know how many people in your Huangfu family will be left if I fight to the death?
"
"..." Huangfu Xiaoyuan didn't say anything. She knew very well that it was sheer fantasy to take down Li Gui's hand without paying any price.
"Here is my head. As I just said, it doesn't matter if I give it to you. However, I have a condition." Li Guishou glanced at the only silver robe in the Jinyi Guards, Lu Hanjiang, and then pointed at Shangluo behind him, and said
Xiaoyuan of the Huangfu family said: "I want you to keep this girl's identity secret forever and not to do anything to her."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan did not give an answer, but the blood evil aura emanating from her body was no longer so strong. Li Guishou took a deep breath, then turned to look at Shangluo.
"Girl," Li Gui's rough palm fell on Shangluo's head, caressing her gently back and forth, and he said slowly: "I probably told you here today, but there is something I need to tell you first."
"Old man, you, tell me." Shangluo didn't cry. It was strange that the heart-wrenching despair just now was still like a hand clutching her heart, but now facing Li Guishou, she
But he fell into a strange kind of calm.
Li Guishou looked at her and revealed the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years: "You were taken to me when you were about three years old. At that time, you already understood some things and refused to change your name, so I left you with
He took the surname Shang."
He was silent for a moment and then said with difficulty: "Girl, actually I am not your biological father."
"Old man, when are you still doing this? Your daughter is not an idiot. You owe money everywhere. How can I be stupid enough to hang around with your name on my forehead every day? This...
..." Shangluo's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she raised her head and met Li Guishou's eyes: "Are you serious?"
"real."
"Did you buy me or pick me up?"
"No, you are the child of one of my friends, silly girl. My surname is Li and your surname is Shang. How can I be your father?"
"What's the matter? Old man, you look shameless, so you're the one who stepped in."
"piss off!"
Shangluo lowered his head and stared at the weeds on the ground for a long time, then asked in a low voice: "Then who is my father? He should be dead too."
It's not that Shangluo was resentful. According to common sense, a big devil like Li Guishou must not have a good heart to be his good friend. Most likely, he would have been beaten to ashes long ago.
"Your father is still alive, but there are so many people here, it's hard to say," Li Guishou said angrily, and then suddenly raised his voice: "But your father is very capable and has made extraordinary friends, such as those Qianhu.
"
"......Um?"
Lu Hanjiang looked left and right. Everyone was looking at her. The theatergoer became a person in the theater. He took a step forward curiously: "Mr. Li, what do you mean? There are many people here. I don't understand what I want to say. I'll go back."
It’s hard to explain.”
Li Guishou raised his head and looked at him and said, "I haven't asked you yet, who are you."
"I'm Qiao Shifang."
"Qiao Shifang...heh," Li Guishou sneered and said, "You are cunning, no matter who you are, go on."
He casually took out a jade pendant from his arms and threw it to Lu Hanjiang so fast that others could not even see what it was.
Lu Hanjiang was not afraid at all. He was surprised when he took it and took a look. This was really beyond his expectation, but it was within his imagination.
He put the jade pendant away, cupped his hands towards Li Gui and said: "Mr. Li, don't worry, since she is an old friend, I will definitely take her away safely, and the brothers here will also keep her mouth shut. There will be no unsighted people in the future."
Let’s go and provoke the merchant girl.”
Li Guishou nodded. He naturally knew what kind of energy that jade pendant had. No matter who the Jinyiwei Qianhu in front of him was, he would send Shangluo to where she should go intact.
The father and daughter looked at each other for a long time without saying anything. Shangluo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. Li Gui clicked his fingers together, and Shangluo's eyes darkened, and she fainted in his arms.
He gently tidied up Shangluo's messy bun, picked her up by the waist, and handed her over to Lu Hanjiang who was walking over.
Li Guishou glanced at Shangluo one last time with nostalgia, and then solemnly said to Lu Hanjiang: "Take good care of her. This is what I owe you. Now I don't have anything valuable to give you, but the owner of the jade pendant
I will give you any reward you want on my behalf."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li." Lu Hanjiang took Shangluo, put her on his horse, and called the royal guards to leave the woods.
After Lu Hanjiang and Jin Yiwei left, Li Gui picked up the knife and put it on his neck, grinning: "I have no regrets in this life, I only regret that I was betrayed by Xiao Xiao's little scheme and betrayed my brothers and friends, but at least I died a cool death, haha.
.”
After that, with a quick slash of the knife, half of his body was stained with blood, and Li Gui's hand became silent.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan watched Li Gui hand his hand and died, then turned around and left without saying a word.
