Chapter 281: Husband and wife share the same forest
"Quickly put out the fire!"
"If the criminal escapes, send someone to hunt him down immediately! Never let him get away!"
The commotion in the guardhouse seems to be going on for a while. The guards in uniforms are busy and busy, with a bit of shame and anger in the comedy. After so many years, the thieves dare to kill and set fire on their heads. How can this be done?
!
Different from the chaotic situation outside, the dungeon where Lu Hanjiang was located was still quiet. There were no other prisoners detained here, and now that Shang Jidao had escaped, it was even more deserted.
"Gene Era"
Lu Hanjiang pinched his nose and walked into the cell filled with the smell of blood. The iron chain handcuffs on the wall were swinging alone, and there was a blood-stained palm on the ground.
He saw through Shang Jidao's means of escape with just one glance, and couldn't help but sigh that he was cruel and decisive.
Although this person is highly skilled in martial arts, even dabbling in left-handed swordsmanship, the Huashan Swordsmanship he is good at, including the Thirteen Swords of Extermination, all rely on his right hand to exert maximum power. Now he would rather give up half of his martial arts in order to escape.
It's indeed cruel enough.
After walking out of the cell, Bian Guang knelt outside. When he saw Lu Hanjiang coming out, he immediately begged for punishment: "I was so careless and let the prisoner escape. Please forgive me!"
Lu Hanjiang didn't stop, passed him, and left an instruction: "Go and receive the punishment yourself."
"Thank you, Sir!" Bian Guangda bowed and his nervous expression finally relaxed a little.
Lu Hanjiang came out of the dungeon, looked up at the dark sky, called Ying Wushang, and the two of them left the guardhouse together.
For Shang Jidao's escape, it was not so much that he had expected it, but that Lu Hanjiang had already prepared conditions for him, leaving him alone in the cell and removing the surrounding people. In such a unique environment, if he still couldn't escape
, that can only be said to be a wish for death.
However, unexpected situations still occurred. For example, Shang Jidao was willing to sacrifice his martial arts skills to escape, which Lu Hanjiang did not expect.
However, even if he escaped from the guardhouse, he could not escape from Mucheng. The guards removed by Lu Hanjiang were all mobilized around the city. Once they found his traces, they would send him on his way.
The reason why he chose to give Shang Jidao a chance to escape was not because Lu Hanjiang had any other expectations for him, but to confirm what he said to him.
Shang Jidao was poisoned by the Crown Princess. If he betrayed him, he would definitely die. But if he followed him back to the capital, his death would probably be worse, because no matter how he explained, no one knew what he said in Jinyiwei's cell.
What.
Both sides are facing death. Rather than betting on the princess' humanity, it's better to bet on finding the antidote. I'm afraid Shang Jidao has not given up hope of finding the antidote.
Since he would rather use half of his martial arts skills and choose to escape, it seems that what he said to himself is still credible.
Between loyalty and life, Shang Jidao chose to live without hesitation. This was so much like him that Lu Hanjiang was not surprised at all.
But letting him escape so easily and leaving the guardhouse in a mess was certainly the reason for Lu Hanjiang's deliberate indulgence, but Bian Guang was still a bit too careless. If he made any mistakes, he would be punished, which would give him a long memory.
Lu Hanjiang and Ying Wushang came outside, and Jin Yiwei's men had spread out to speed up the search for the person.
"How long do you need?" Lu Hanjiang asked directly.
Ying Wushang immediately replied: "Don't worry, sir. I have already made preparations. I will be able to capture that Shang Jidao without even using a stick of incense."
"No need, just kill him."
After Lu Hanjiang finished speaking, he rode his horse in the direction of the teahouse. After Ying Wushang nodded in agreement, he turned around and immediately joined the search team.
...
While Jin Yiwei was searching for people all over the city, in this remote courtyard, Shang Jidao had a look of disbelief on his face.
He dodged Gu Qianhan's sword in embarrassment and used his remaining left hand to point to the sword. After just two moves with the opponent, he felt dizzy. His old injury had not healed and now he had a new one.
"Junior sister, why——?!"
Shang Jidao couldn't figure out why Gu Qianhan wanted to kill him.
"Senior brother, do you think you can still survive?"
Gu Qianhan's cold eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person. They had been married for more than ten years, but now they had no room to hold back.
Shang Jidao endured the pain of both body and mind. He stared at Gu Qianhan and said: "Jin Yiwei wants my life. As long as I am willing to bow my head to Senior Brother Tianfeng, he will not let go of this opportunity to conquer Huashan. ....."
"What about Your Highness?"
Gu Qianhan's indifferent words interrupted Shang Jidao's long speech. Her eyes were as cold as the chill on the sword, without giving anyone the slightest warmth: "Will Your Highness let you go, let Huashan go?"
Shang Jidao's eyes suddenly shrank, his expression changed several times, and finally settled in that state of shock.
"You, how did you know..." Shang Jidao's tone was trembling.
"Senior brother, you and I are husband and wife, why do you think you can hide this from me for the rest of your life?"
Gu Qianhan shook his head, and there was no wave in his calm eyes: "From the first time you flew a book, I knew everything. It's just that you never told me these years, and I just took advantage of the situation and stopped asking. you."
Shang Jidao was a little unbelievable. He covered his chest in pain: "I don't tell you because I want to protect you and your child. I have done so many evil things in my life, all for the sake of the Huashan Sect. I have a clear conscience. The only private matter is to extract you and your child, but why do you want to-"
"Senior brother, what I did was exactly for the sake of my two children."
Gu Qianhan slowly waved the sword in his hand, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes: "No matter what you say, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will never believe that a person caught by Jin Yiwei can keep his mouth shut. As long as you die, the Huashan Sect will Only then will we be safe, and my children and I will be safe.”
Shang Jidao closed his eyes, his face full of struggle.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. After you die, all the factions in the Five Mountains will be able to vent their anger, and the Crown Princess can also feel at ease. I will pretend not to know anything and live a good life with my two children."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying this, Gu Qian moved her mouth, pointed the sword in her hand in the distance, and the sword flowers in the sky disappeared in an instant: "Cut."
Shang Jidao suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with coldness, and he no longer had any nostalgia. He condensed the sword gang in his left hand, and the Thirteen Swords of Extermination came nine times in a row. What frightened him was that so did Commander Gu Qianhan.
Same move.
The two of them were tied for nine consecutive moves, but then, Gu Qianhan's sword skills suddenly became faster, and the next four swords came suddenly, wiping out thirteen swords and a total of thirteen moves, without missing a single step.
"How can it be--"
Shang Jidao felt a pain in his heart. Gu Qianhan pierced his body with a sword. A pair of jade arms gently wrapped around his waist. The two of them hugged each other and sat on the ground. They could only hear the soft murmur of the person next to the pillow.
: "I'm sorry, senior brother, I lied to you back then. Master has actually deduced all the sword techniques of the Thirteen Swords of Extermination and written them into sword manuals. However, he shelved them on the grounds that the sword techniques were evil and disturbed people's minds.
, except Senior Brother Zhong and I, no one knows."
There was blood at the corner of Shang Jidao's mouth, and his eyes widened slightly: "Could it be that uncle Shi's death, you also——"
"It was me who poisoned Master's tea, and Senior Brother Zhong was able to get it." At this time, Gu Qianhan no longer concealed it, she said: "Senior Brother Zhong peeked at the sword manual and was discovered by Master, but I also
After reading the sword manual, the master became furious when he found out and wanted to expel me and him from the mountain gate, so he had no choice but to take action."
"That's it," Shang Jidao smiled bitterly: "Then why didn't you go down the mountain with Senior Brother Zhong? That day he killed his uncle and escaped. I saw you catching up with him. Senior Brother Zhong invited you to defect from Huashan together.
Why did you reject him?"
"That day? It turns out that senior brother, you saw it..."
Gu Qianhan's eyes darkened slightly: "Senior Brother Zhong has already taken all the blame, so why should I follow him around the world? Although the Huashan sect is not the top, it is also a first-class sect in the right way. It has a big tree and is good for enjoying the shade. I just made
The most correct choice.”
"...It turns out that's the case, it turns out that's the case..."
Shang Jidao's consciousness was a little blurred, and the torture in his heart was far more painful than the wounds on his body. He hugged Gu Qianhan lightly and murmured like he was dreaming: "Junior sister, after so many years, I really like you. I always thought,
You didn't go with him because of me..."
"Senior brother, I know." Gu Qian's cold eyes never changed.
"I have always felt sorry for you and your children. It was my mistake to let you bear the risk of death with me..."
It seemed that he wanted to cry, but Shang Jidao tugged at the corner of his mouth, and finally revealed an embarrassing smile: "No wonder you would choose me between me and Senior Brother Zhong. It turns out that we are both the same people.
But you are more ruthless than me..."
Something seemed to flash in Shang Jidao's eyes, and his hands dropped weakly: "Junior sister...Huashan...child..."
Gu Qianhan felt the increasingly heavy weight on her shoulders and closed her eyes silently: "Brother, go in peace."
