Let me tell you something, Qiao Shifang, if he were to be his opponent, there would be absolutely nothing to say about him. He has great martial arts skills but is a bit of a mysophobic and talkative person for some reason. He accidentally made a concession yesterday, and half of it was luck.
But this person, if we were friends with him, it would be really bad, because this guy has never had a good mouth, and he sold out all his people in the blink of an eye.
You are called friends when you come and go, but you are alone there, which is called excessive self-awareness. In the end, you can get nothing except being able to move yourself.
"The Fourth Highness and I, both the righteous path and the demonic path, Brother Lu should know that our manpower is everywhere," Qiao Shifang came up and got straight to the point without talking any nonsense: "Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit.
Go, Brother Lu, please make a price."
"I admire you very much. I never thought that Qiao Xiandi's place would be so big."
Lu Hanjiang was moved on the surface, but he was quite disdainful in his heart. If your people were everywhere, how could they have made such a fool of themselves yesterday? Apart from anything else, the people they have placed in the demonic lineage seem to be basically useless at this stage, and even
, I’m afraid they are not from the same group at all.
"Let me tell you the truth. Although the world of martial arts and temples cannot be distinguished, if you rely on this ability to try to get those thoughts, I'm afraid you will think too highly of yourself."
This is definitely Lu Hanjiang's kindest advice to Qiao Shifang. It's hard to say for the whole of Beizhili, but within the capital, the only ones who can use the knife are the officials, and the only ones who dare to go to the house are the Jin Yiwei. Regardless of the strength of the Jianghu, if you take the lead, you will die.
.
People like Qiao Shifang don't really think that they can have an idea about that position just by making friends with some Jianghu forces, right?
"Of course I know what Brother Lu said, but things in this world are not absolute," Qiao Shifang seemed to have some confidence. He said calmly: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
"Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, while chivalry violates the law with martial arts," Lu Hanjiang put down the tea in his hand and said, "I heard that my dear brother also read some books before, but have you read these two sentences?"
"Of course I've read it."
"How to understand?"
"That's bullshit."
It was rare to hear Qiao Shifang utter a foul language. He said: "There are so many rebellious ministers and traitors in the world. The mere words "Confucian and Xiaxia" are not worth the ridicule of others."
Lu Hanjiang watched another pot of tea boiling, but had no intention of sitting down again. He said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate my dear brother in advance. If you get promoted in the future, don't forget your old friends."
It’s not surprising that Shang Jidao betrayed his teammates when they met. With such a master, even when he got on the ship, he had to worry about whether he could withstand the storm.
"Brother Lu, we have said this. If you don't give me an attitude, how will I explain to His Highness?"
Lu Hanjiang didn't want to get involved, but Qiao Shifang didn't dare to let him go just like that. He said, "Brother Lu, you know that among all the Jinyi Guards, the person I admire most is you."
Lu Hanjiang was speechless. He looked around and said, "There are no other people here. You can speak more seriously."
"It's not just flattery, it's the reality."
As Qiao Shifang spoke, he put one hand on the boiling teapot and said, "I have been in the Jinyi Guard for more than ten years, and I have stayed here a little longer than Brother Lu."
Lu Hanjiang glanced at the teapot with the lid tightly pressed, and said nothing, waiting for Qiao Shifang's next words.
While observing Lu Hanjiang's reaction, Qiao Shifang continued: "Everyone has desires. Look at those Qianhu, Zhenfu, some who love money, some who love power, some who like beauties, and some who like gambling and whoring.
Yes, as long as you check carefully, there will always be something to catch."
"Seven emotions and six desires are human nature."
"Brother Lu is right," Qiao Shifang praised, then changed the subject and said, "If that's the case, why is Brother Lu so 'clean'?"
Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang's eyes shifted from the teapot to Qiao Shifang: "Xian brother, it's inappropriate to say this in front of your face."
Qiao Shifang seemed to have heard nothing and continued: "Although Brother Lu is capable of doing things, he is never active. You always accept the filial piety sent by me from below, but you have never handled it carefully. Brother Lu has never handled it carefully.
You are over forty and you haven’t married yet, and you don’t even have many maids at home. Jinyiwei collects martial arts from all over the world, and you have never even entered the library.”
The teapot made a rapid sound, and the boiling tea inside had reached its limit. Qiao Shifang finally let go. The lid was lifted, and the overflowing tea fell on the firewood, making a sizzling sound.
"Look, it's okay to hide it like this. You have to leave something out for everyone to see, so that people can feel at ease." Qiao Shifang threw the lid on the table and said, "Whatever others want, I can
If you can give it, even if you can't afford it, you can still talk about it, but Brother Lu, if you hide everything, I really don't know how to open my mouth."
"Do you really want to know?" Lu Hanjiang asked him back.
"Brother Lu, please don't mention it at all. If something unspeakable happens during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, please don't blame me." Qiao Shifang almost pulled out the knife when he said these words.
In fact, Lu Hanjiang can also understand that for people like them, dualism has been engraved in their bones. There is no neutrality between friends and enemies. If you don't make it clear today, it will be life and death for you out of this door.
"My dear brother, you know that the commander originally did not want me to come to Jiangnan."
Lu Hanjiang suddenly said something off-topic. He sighed and said: "There were 14 thousand households, and now there are only 13 left. If there is one less, it will be really ugly."
Qiao Shifang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, after all, you are the one who commands the envoy, so I will still give you this."
Lu Hanjiang did not answer him, but gave him a meaningful look, the meaning of which Qiao Shifang must not be able to understand now.
As if he had made up his mind, Lu Hanjiang let out a long breath, leaned back, and sat in a comfortable position. He said, "Xian brother, I understand what you mean. What kind of secret is worth what?"
You know the price."
"Brother Lu, it's not fair to make an idle note, but there is something you can tell Brother Lu first. So many people are staring at your commander-in-chief, not because he wants his life, otherwise why would you be so cautious?
Ah--"
After pouring away the original tea, Qiao Shifang replaced it with a new pot of tea and said, "The Qi family is here, brother, do you still remember it?"
"Remember," Lu Hanjiang's mind moved, and he said calmly: "The crime is for trespassing, and everyone in the family will be executed. What's the problem?"
"The Qi family is a historian, what does Brother Lu think they can overstep?"
Without waiting for an answer, Qiao Shifang continued: "In the time of the late Emperor, one day, foreign envoys came to pay tribute and brought an ordinary stone. No one could see the mystery in it. When it comes to this dynasty,
, His Majesty had the stone cracked open, and inside was a piece of fine jade.
His Majesty asked skilled craftsmen to split the jade and make it into a jade pendant. When it was finished, it was made into seven pieces. His Majesty ordered someone to engrave the emperor's surname on it. Interestingly, His Majesty only has seven princes today, so he made the jade pendant out of seven pieces.
Give it to the seven princes as a royal token."
This was the first time Lu Hanjiang had heard of it. He never thought that the little jade pendant had such an origin. He said, "So, the Qi family was sentenced to death because they arbitrarily explored the secrets of the royal family?"
"No."
Qiao Shifang shook his head and said: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encountered an accident, all the guards accompanying him died, but one person was missing. That person's surname was Qi. Later, in order to hide his identity, he found a familiar Baihu
, exchanged identities with him, and after that, he changed his surname to Qin."
