Chapter 402 Different paths lead to the same destination
He was completely fooled. At this moment, Huo Tianya's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, put all the spirits into the sheath, looked back at the four corpses on the ground, and walked away quickly.
go.
Not long after, the disciples who were on night watch at Zhujian Villa arrived together with some Jianghu people who heard the noise. The corpses on the ground were shocking, and the fact that Fan Daxia had not been completely burned in the sword furnace made everyone even more angry.
This matter spread quickly, and because of this, all the factions in the world who originally planned to leave had to stay for a few more days.
On the other side, A Lan fled all the way through the night and finally entered Lu Hanjiang's yard. He saw that Lu Hanjiang was reading in the same posture as before, and there was a pot of boiling tea on the table.
The corners of Ah Lan's eyes twitched slightly: "Master Lu's Qing Gong is quite impressive."
"The world is dangerous, and if you practice the art of escaping, you will always have a better chance of surviving."
Lu Hanjiang's truth came from his mouth. He put down the book and poured a cup of tea for A-Lan: "Miss A-Lan was frightened tonight. Come on, drink some tea to warm yourself up."
Ah Lan was not polite, took the tea and drank it. Lu Hanjiang poured it again, and she drank it again. After three cups of tea in a row, she gently exhaled a hot breath: "It feels good, Mr. Lu, don't you drink it?"
Lu Hanjiang poured the tea water for a moment, then filled another cup: "No, you can drink it, I'm worried that I won't be able to sleep."
"."
Ah Lan didn't know that this was the first time she was speechless tonight, but after being disturbed by Lu Hanjiang for no reason, she was still a little nervous, but she somehow calmed down.
Looking at the fourth cup of tea, she touched her belly, then put down the tea cup in her hand, and said seriously: "Master Lu, tonight we broke through Huo Tianya's murderous scene. I'm afraid he won't let it go easily. The grudge has been forged.
, why didn’t you take action and kill him then?”
A Lan's idea is very simple. From Huo Tianya's killing of Fan Sheng, we can see that this person is not easy to get along with. Talking about cooperation with him is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Even if a reconciliation can be achieved temporarily, it will be a disaster in the long run.
It's better to take action directly and get it over with.
Lu Hanjiang shrugged: "Miss A-Lan thinks too highly of me. You see, Huo Tianya is in his prime and his martial arts skills are also extremely high. I'm afraid he's not even a fraction of him when I'm studying martial arts. How can I be my opponent?"
These words are also in line with common sense. It seems clear at a glance which one is stronger and which one is weaker between a fledgling Beggar Clan leader and a long-established Sword Forging Villa owner.
However, Ah Lan didn't think so. Ever since she saw Lu Hanjiang's evil talent in swordsmanship, she no longer used common sense to speculate on the abilities of the leader of the Beggar Clan.
"Since you don't want to take action, do you have other ideas?"
Ah Lan frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind him: "That Huo Tianya is cruel and ruthless. If you really cooperate with him, I'm afraid you will lead the wolf into the house."
Lu Hanjiang said calmly: "There is no need for you to worry. I do want to cooperate with him, but we have broken down tonight, right?"
Indeed, as he said, the result tonight was that Lu Hanjiang seemed to have tricked Huo Tianya, attracting everyone's attention and forcing him to give up the pursuit of the two of them.
And so far, Huo Tianya has not been seen leading anyone to kick the door. It seems that the other party has chosen to acquiesce to the matter, but this is not the case.
The tacit understanding tonight was more like a helpless compromise than a consensus.
Comrades in the world are watching. If he really takes action in the sword furnace, Huo Tianya has no confidence that everyone will believe his words.
Although the popularity of the Beggar Gang is extremely low, but even so, it is still a major gang in the world. Without concrete evidence, Huo Tianya cannot cover the sky with one hand.
Therefore, from the moment when both of them tacitly chose to press the matter, both sides were like a fully drawn bow and arrow. As long as there was an opportunity, the conflict was about to break out.
Lu Hanjiang knew that Huo Tianya would not feel at ease, and Huo Tianya knew that Lu Hanjiang would not be satisfied. They both knew that the other would do something dirty sooner or later, and they both guarded against the other party doing something evil.
Under such circumstances, it is better to take the initiative than to be passively attacked. Only by striking first can we truly protect ourselves.
Of course, this is the result of analysis from Huo Tianya's perspective. Lu Hanjiang himself has no intention of taking action. After all, if he really wants to kill people, the seat of the owner of Zhujian Villa can be replaced by someone else tonight.
Huo Tianya's magical weapon indeed aroused Lu Hanjiang's great interest, so much so that he almost forgot the real purpose of tonight.
However, it seems that they have reached the same goal through different paths. Apart from the jade statue, among Gu Ming's relics there are only a bunch of nonsense manuscripts, and a few key pages of them were taken away. The only people who can do such a thing are those from Zhujian Villa.
people.
Which swordsmith was it? Or, as he expected, it was made by the Huo family, or it might even be Huo Tianya himself.
Lu Hanjiang had no intention of letting Huo Tianya die in obscurity like Huangfu Linshan. It was rare to have such an interesting magic weapon in his hands. If he could give him a bigger stage, it wouldn't be in vain for him to specifically instigate Huo Tianxing and Mrs. Huo.
While the two were talking, Elder Qi hurried over to see him and was not surprised to find A-Lan among them. Various women would always appear inexplicably around the gang leader, and he had long been used to it.
"Is the deal settled?" Lu Hanjiang asked first.
"yes."
Seeing that Lu Hanjiang did not shy away from A Lan's thoughts, Elder Qi followed suit and said, "Mrs. Huo has roughly reached an agreement with us. After overthrowing Huo Tianya, she will come forward to modify the agreement we made before, so that we can avoid
Put it into practice.”
Elder Qi was indeed thinking about the Beggar Clan, but Lu Hanjiang didn't care what the terms of the negotiation were. It was enough if the result was what he wanted.
"Very good. Although it's getting late, Master Huo must be tossing and turning at this time and having trouble falling asleep. Elder Qi, please go pay him a visit and mention his brother's plan to kill his brother to seize the throne."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Lu Hanjiang finished speaking, the air became quiet, Allan's mouth grew slightly, and he froze on the spot, and Elder Qi's head became a mess.
A lump of paste.
"Gang leader, why should we tell Huo Tianya about this?" Elder Qi asked very puzzledly: "If he knew about this, wouldn't Mrs. Huo and their plans be greatly hindered?"
Being greatly hindered is a euphemistic way of saying it. According to Elder Qi's view of the Huo family, Huo Tianya will probably take the first step and take down Huo Tianxing and Mrs. Huo as soon as the matter is exposed.
“Isn’t there still our beggar gang here?”
Lu Hanjiang said earnestly: "Our Beggar Clan attaches great importance to friendship. Of course, we must step forward at this critical moment. Elder Qi, go tell Huo Tianya and let him know. If you take the initiative to give up your position as the owner of the village, you can
Protect yourself from the dangers of swords."
Elder Qi retreated with his head buzzing. A Lan stared at Lu Hanjiang with his beautiful eyes for a long time before speaking: "You are forcing Huo Tianya. You want him to think that he has betrayed everyone and Huo Tianxing is unstoppable, right?"
"Mrs. Huo is so sincere, I always have to do something to repay them." Lu Hanjiang said sincerely.
"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid he's taking it for granted. A person like Huo Tianya probably won't back down because of this matter. Even -" A Lan narrowed his eyes and said in a slightly cold tone: "You're not afraid of him jumping over the wall in a hurry. You did it on purpose.
?”
"Miss A-Lan is really smart."
Lu Hanjiang glanced at the night outside the window, slowly packed up the things on the desk, and said slowly: "Anyway, whoever takes action first will definitely be stigmatized. Huo Tianxing's side is already weak, and it is better to have great righteousness than nothing."
, you don’t really expect the Beggar Gang to help him take down the entire Sword Forging Villa, do you?”
"Then, why are you doing this?" Ah Lan looked at Lu Hanjiang, as if she wanted to see something from him.
Lu Hanjiang smiled: "The Huo family most likely has the remaining pages of Master Gu Ming's manuscript. I am very interested in the content above, but as you can see, Huo Tianya is obviously not a good partner."
Although Huo Tianya was willing to sell his position as Young Master, he had a character that would not shed tears until he saw the coffin. The manuscript was obviously valuable, but it was a pity that the Beggar Clan couldn't come up with anything that could tempt him.
Even if he really hid the manuscript in the first place, it would probably be extremely difficult for the Beggar Gang to get it through cooperation.
"That's why you want to support his younger brother to rise to power."
A-Lan frowned and asked: "But, there should be other more convenient ways, why do you have to take the most troublesome way?"
It's not that A-Lan sympathizes with the Huo family. With such a weird sword in his hand, Huo Tianya has already murdered countless people, and his death would not be a pity at all.
As for his younger brother Huo Tianxing and this Mrs. Huo - excuse her, it only took a day. Since they were able to make up their minds to seize the throne so quickly, they must have never stopped thinking about them.
Since you are determined to fight for position, you should naturally be aware that the Huo family is at war with each other and fighting for power. In A Lan's eyes, it is like a dog biting a dog.
"Maybe it's my interest."
Lu Hanjiang stood up and stretched a lot. After taking a deep breath, he said: "Although I had almost seen the ending when the story began, it is precisely because of this that I have to let this process go."
Be as interesting as possible, follow the steps as if you are being pulled by a rope and always take the shortest route, that kind of thing is too boring.”
