Chapter 176: Reduced to a pawn

readx;?“ Mr. Qi, what do you mean by this?" Lu Yifan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it a ......?"

"That's good!" Qi Shan nodded in agreement, "Didn't you keep asking me who entrusted me to save your life?"

"Who is it?"

"The person who entrusted me is your father, Lord Wending Gong Lu Haoqian Lu!" Qi Shan said with a light smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What, my father?" Lu Yifan said in disbelief, "But my father shouldn't have known about this, right?"

"Haha...... Lord Lu may not have known at first, but His Majesty the Emperor knew from the beginning!" Qi Shan laughed loudly, "Miss Han Ling'er told Lord Han Xiao about this, and Han Xiao told His Majesty the Emperor about this, could it be that you really think that His Majesty the Emperor is confused? Do you really think that he turned a blind eye to Lou Zong's massacre of the millions of people in Wenyang City? Do you really think that he will let a small sect despise the court so much? In fact, His Majesty the Emperor has always known about Lou Zong's domination of the Southwest Land, but there is only one reason why he is reluctant to make a move, and that is that he has not found the most suitable opportunity! Because to deal with a sect like Lou Zong, either if he does not make a move, it will definitely be a killer move! And the best opportunity is to arrive in Jinling City with Miss Han Ling'er with the news of the death of millions of people in Wenyang City!"

"This ......" Lu Yifan was a little confused at the moment, "What does Mr. Qi mean is that His Majesty the Emperor is not sitting idly by and ignoring this matter?

"I don't have to hide this from you!" Qi Shan smiled lightly, "His Majesty the Emperor has taken a total of three moves, and these three moves are enough to put Lou Zong in a place of no return! The first step is to pretend to ignore this matter, but in fact, he secretly ordered Han Xiao, the protector of the country, to deliberately hand over the decree to Miss Han Ling'er for personal gain, and then let you, a group of young people with newborn calves, come and have a fight with Lou Zong first, so as to attract the attention of Lou Zong, and even the attention of the backers behind Lou Zong!"

"The backer behind Lou Zong, do you mean...... Sect Master Dongfang Su?" Xie Yun asked softly.

"That's right! The dispute between the Emperor and the Sect Master has existed since ancient times, if it weren't for the Sect Master of the Holy Domain, why would the Emperor let this little Lou Sect run rampant to this day?" Qi Shan nodded in response, "And your appearance is just enough to attract the attention of the Lou Sect and even the Sect Master of the Holy Domain, in the end, you are just a few young people with little experience, and the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain expects that you will not be able to make any waves, so he will not be deliberately alert to this matter, but only randomly send an Elder Xuanzong to help the Lou Sect solve you!"

"Elder Xuanzong?" Liu Sandao asked suspiciously, "What kind of old man is that wearing a white mask?"

"That's right, otherwise why would Lou Yi be so respectful to him?" Qi Shan nodded and said, "Just because this person is from Xuanzong, he is an elder under the seat of the Sacred Domain Sect Master!"

"It's just that one of the elders is so good, it seems that this Sacred Domain Sect Master really lives up to the prestige of the strongest person in the Holy Domain!" Mu Dan said with a sigh.

"And just as the Emperor Ling expected, the plan you designed to deal with Lou Zong cannot escape Lou Zong's eyes, so the end must be a feather return, and even your life will be in danger!

"Is this deal to protect our lives?" Lu Yifan asked hesitantly.

"No, protecting you is just a bonus condition in this deal, I only promised to protect you in the battle as much as possible, but I didn't promise to protect you!" Qi Shan smiled, "It's not a secret, the reward given by His Majesty the Emperor is only enough to make a deal with me, as for protecting you, this is the second deal!"

"This ...... Then why did you stand up and help me just now?" Lu Yifan asked puzzled.

"I said it before, because of your father, Lord Lu Haoqian!" Qi Shan said with a smile, "Lord Lu is such a smart person? He seems to have heard some rumors that are unfavorable to you in the court, so he is willing to pay a high price to reach this second deal with Qi! That is, to save the life of your son Lu Yifan no matter what!"

"Daddy......" As soon as Qi Shan's words came out, Lu Yifan's eyes turned red, and he could even think of Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan's desperate appearance for their own safety.

"Since protecting us is not a business between you and the Emperor, then what is the deal between you and the Emperor?" Mu Dan asked curiously.

"Hehe, in fact, you have already seen these two transactions!" Qi Shan smiled mysteriously, and then took out the canvas with Lu Yifan and Lou Zong Five Tigers painted on it from his arms again, "The people painted on this canvas together are my two transactions! Among them, Lu Yifan's son is what I want to protect, and the rest of the Lou Zong Five Tigers are ......."

"I'm going to kill!" Liu Sandao answered, then he raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Shan meaningfully, and said faintly, "No wonder you said that Wanhualou is just a small business, it turns out that your big business is to collect money to buy your life!"

"Hehe, collect money from people to eliminate disasters for others, Qi is a businessman, so he naturally does what a businessman should do!" Qi Shan smiled, "Yes, the five tigers of Louzong are indeed killed by Qi, so even if they leave Wanhualou, it will definitely be impossible for them to return to Louzong alive!"

"Snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, what a ruthless method!" Xie Yun said in a deep voice, "You have already secretly laid down the killer, and now Lou Yi has been seriously injured, and the remaining few are not to worry about at all, so they will die tonight!"

"But even so, there are still thousands of disciples in that Lou Sect who are always threatening the comfort of the closed city, don't forget that these Lou Sect disciples have even destroyed Ji Yuan and Pang He's city army, and they are hoarding around the closed city!" Mu Dan said worriedly.

"So, His Majesty the Emperor still has a third move!" Qi Shan laughed, "And I think this move should have started to move when my people cut off Lou Yiren's head!"

"What chess?" Lu Yifan asked in a condensed voice.

"The Emperor has already personally ordered Lan Shixun to lead the 30,000 Sacred Domain Iron Army to secretly ambush around Lou Zong, just wait for the five tigers of Lou Zong to die, and they will kill Lou Zong's lair tonight, and all Lou Zong's disciples will be killed, not a single one will be left!"

"Hiss!" Hearing these words, Lu Yifan and the others all felt a chill in their backs. It turned out that after a long time, all the efforts made by these people were just a chess piece in the game set up by the emperor, and the emperor had already arranged everything, and laid a net of heaven and earth, and Lou Zong would definitely die tonight!

"Since Lan Shixun has already had 30,000 iron troops ambushed around, why did he watch Ji Yuan, Pang He, and the 5,000 city army suffer?" Lu Yifan asked angrily.

"Hmph! What is Lan Shixun, don't you know Yifan?" Xie Yun shouted angrily, "When did he take other people's lives seriously? He only wants to be greedy for merit in everything, and he doesn't ask for anything else at all! Why should such a despicable villain pin his hopes on him?"

Xie Yun's impression of Lan Shixun came from Xie Yang and Xie Zhen, so it was not surprising that he could make such a comment.

"There is one more thing, please tell me Mr. Qi!" Lu Yifan looked straight and asked loudly.

Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Qi Shan shook his head with a wry smile, and then said lightly: "I know what you want to ask, you want to know who is secretly instigating Lou Yi to kill you, right? Although I know, I can't tell you! I am not a person who strives for fame and fortune, neither a minister of the court, nor a relative of the sect, so this kind of thing is not my business, and I will neither ask more nor say more." I hope Lu Gongzi can understand!"

"I understand!" By now, Lu Yifan already has some understanding of Qi Shan's life, and knows that once Qi Shan decides not to say something, he will not say it even if he is killed.

"Don't you like to do business? I can give you money, I'll give you as much as you want! You tell me who wants to harm Yifan?" Liu Sandao asked unwillingly, "You just need to tell me who it is, I guarantee that this person will not have a chance to trouble you!"

"Okay, Brother Liu, don't force Mr. Qi anymore! Mr. Qi has already told us enough today!" Lu Yifan spoke out to stop Liu Sandao's questioning.

"Lu Gongzi understands the righteousness, and I hope that we can meet again in the future!" Qi Shan said with a smile.

"Mr. Qi is just a businessman, as you yourself said, neither a minister of the court, nor a close relative of the sect, as long as you do business, you can help anyone solve disasters, so the next time we meet, I just hope that Mr. Qi and I are not opponents!" Lu Yifan smiled lightly.

"I hope so!Okay, things should have been almost done, and I should also carry the heads of the Five Tigers of Lou Zong to Lord Lu and give an account to Lord Lu!" Qi Shan said and arched his hand at Lu Yifan again, and then turned around and left Wanhua Tower surrounded by his entourage.

......

And just when Qi Shan and Lu Yifan were talking about all this in the Wanhua Building, Lou Yi and his entourage were indeed ambushed by a person ten miles away from the east gate of the closed city.

Yes, there is only one person who ambushes them here!

The night was dark and the wind was high, the dark clouds were so thick that even the moonlight was tightly covered, but Lou Yi still saw the black-clothed man sitting on a broken wall in the distance through the darkness in front of him.

"Lou Chang!" Lou Yi shouted softly, "You take a few people over to see who it is?"

Although Lou Chang was cowardly in his heart, he could only stubbornly lead seven or eight Lou Sect disciples to walk towards the man in black tremblingly, and when they reached the bottom of the broken wall, they found that they still couldn't see the face of the man in black clearly, because this person still had a hat wrapped in black yarn on his head.

"Bold! you...... Who are you? How dare you intercept my Lou Zong......"

"Poof!"

Before Lou Chang's words fell, he only heard the sound of a sword coming out of its sheath, and then a dazzling silver light flashed quickly in the darkness for a few times, and then it was retracted into the scabbard by this person, and this person did not open his mouth to say a word of nonsense from beginning to end.

Looking at Lou Chang and the several attendants behind him, one by one they were surprised to cover their necks with their hands, their throats squirmed but they couldn't make the slightest sound, although they desperately pressed their necks with their hands, but the red blood still sprayed out along their fingers, and after a while, Lou Chang and the others fell to the ground one after another, turning into cold corpses.

"Hey, why hasn't Lao Wu moved for a long time? Nothing will happen, right?" Lou Mo asked with a frown.

"Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" Lou Yi sat on the horse and waved his hand gently, and then walked over with Lou Lei, Lou Mo and a few entourage.

When they walked to the front and saw the scene in front of them, Lou Yi and the others were all shocked.

"This ......" Lou Yi's heart suddenly felt bad, and the injuries in his body made him lose his former majesty, so he couldn't help but feel a sweet throat when he was halfway through the words, and a mouthful of red blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Bastard, look for death!" Lou Mo shouted angrily and got up and approached the man in black, but unfortunately before he could get close to the man, he saw that the man in black suddenly moved, and then under the shaking of the black shadow, a gloomy silver light suddenly came out of the sheath, and the blade of the sword roared, followed by a flash of silver light, like a gust of wind that frivolously floated Lou Mo's throat, and then it was actually a blood splash of five feet, which fell directly on the broken wall, staining all the sand on the broken wall into blood red.

"Third child!" Lou Lei couldn't help but be angry when he saw this, and wailed in pain, "Who are you ******?"

"Why? You don't know me?" the man in black sat on the broken wall with the silver sword that was still dripping blood, and said coldly, "You don't know me, then you should know her!"

After that, I saw that behind the broken wall came out of abrupt a beautiful woman who was peerless, although this woman was dressed in plain clothes, she still couldn't hide her beauty of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon.

Such a face that captivates the country and the city, anyone who looks at it will never forget it for the rest of their lives. Ordinary people are already like this, not to mention Lou Lei, who has more than one relationship with this woman?

"Are you...... You are Su Yingying......" Lou Lei said tremblingly.

Yes, this woman is the drunken dream Oiran who was harmed by Lou Zong, not to mention, and has suffered many disasters, Su Yingying.

"Do you remember me?" Su Yingying stared at Lou Lei coldly, her eyes full of hatred and contempt.

"How do you ...... You are Su Yingying, then he is ......"

"What's the matter??

"It's really you, Xie Feng......" Lou Lei was already a little flustered at the moment, but it was a pity that he was crushed by Liu Sandao earlier, so now he can only sit on the horse and can't move.

"You kill my Xie family, slaughter me in Wenyang City, today I will come to ask you for your life!" Xie Feng roared angrily, and then his body exploded towards Lou Lei like a ghost, his cultivation was above Lou Lei, and now Lou Lei was injured on his feet, so he couldn't dodge at all, so he could only call for help from Lou Yi, but unfortunately at this moment Lou Yi had the heart to save him, but he didn't have the strength and spirit anymore.

"No...... Don't kill me...... Don't ......"

"Poof!"

"Huh!"

In Lou Lei's pig-like wail, Xie Feng mercilessly pierced Lou Lei's throat with a sword, and the blade pierced from the Adam's apple and stabbed out from the back of the neck, such bloody means were enough to show how great the hatred in Xie Feng's heart was.

Lou Lei, who was stabbed to death by a sword, whimpered, turned over and planted under the horse, becoming a ghost under Xie Feng's sword. Now the rest of the Lou Sect disciples were already running around in fright, leaving only Lou Yi, who was sitting on a horse and was weak.

"Lou Yi!" Xie Feng said through gritted teeth, "Although you are seriously injured today, I will not show the slightest mercy!

"Xie Feng......" Lou Yi said weakly, at this moment he had lost so much blood that he didn't even have the strength to speak, "Although you and I have a grudge, we have never met...... Why don't you let me go today, I can exchange a big secret with you......"

Hearing Lou Yi's words, the sword in Xie Feng's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, he held the sword in one hand, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lou Yi's throat, looked at Lou Yi coldly, and said faintly: "Say!"

"You're ...... Just let me go......"

"Say!" Xie Feng was no longer polite, and the silver sword in his hand had pierced the skin of Lou Yi's neck.

"Good...... I said......" Lou Yi said intermittently, "Let me tell you, the reason why I have been so persistent in chasing and killing Lu Yifan, and even having the courage to slaughter your Xie family and even the entire city of Wenyang, is actually all under the protection and instigation of one person behind my back...... He was the one who asked me to kill Lu Yifan, and he was the one who instigated me to kill your Xie family......"

"Who is it?" Xie Feng asked faintly, anger flashing in his eyes.

"He's ...... The Minister of the Holy Land...... Zhenbei Gong ...... Lan Shi ......"

"Whoosh!"

"Poof!"

"Huh!"

Before Lou Yi could finish speaking, he heard a sharp sound that broke the air suddenly in the night sky, and then a sharp arrow pierced Lou Yi's head mercilessly, and the arrow sank deep into Lou Yi's temple, and Lou Yi was killed on the spot!

"Who?" Xie Feng hurriedly put on his hat again, protected Su Yingying behind him, and asked in a cold voice.

"Haha...... Your mission has been completed, you can go to your master, Qi Shan, to receive the reward!"

With a hearty and rough laugh, I saw dust in the distance, countless war horses galloped over, not to mention thousands of eight hundred, and the leader of these sergeants was dressed in a bright silver armor, and sat on the horse, and he was also carrying a bow and arrow made of stainless steel, obviously the person who shot Lou Yi just now was this person.

And this person is the general of the army who was ordered to lead the troops to kill the remaining disciples of the Lou Sect, the Northern Duke of the Holy Domain, Lan Shixun!
