Chapter 109: Are You Worthy?
When Gale found Li Shuhong, he was admiring the moon and drinking in the gazebo.
There was also the little girl who seemed to be a little taller beside him.
But after a few months, the little girl seemed to have changed a lot.
At least it's no longer the expressionless or fake smile at the glance.
Her current expression and demeanor look quite similar to this young man in green shirts, although there are still heavy traces of imitation, but you can see her changes.
But here's the problem...... This pavilion is in the Luoxia faction.
And around the gazebo is a circle of corpses.
Gale was quite helpless, "Alas...... The Luoxia faction is also considered to be a decent family...... Why do you bother? โ
Li Shuhong took a sip of wine and glanced at him, "The Luoxia faction once participated in the siege and killing of me, I just did what they did to me but didn't succeed, and I was the only one who did it, so it's already very cheap to say about them."
Putting down the wine glass, he smiled and said, "Why, last time you said that the next time we met, it would be a life-and-death fight, and now you are here to die?" โ
"I'm here to persuade you to stop."
Gale had a serious expression, "You've killed enough people."
"If there were enough, you wouldn't be here." Li Shuhong snapped his fingers, and Zhaoyang picked up the wine jug to help Gale pour wine.
Gale Feng's brows moved slightly, still staring at Li Shuhong.
Seeing that he didn't serve a wine glass, Li Shuhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is no poison in the wine." โ
But Gale still didn't pick up his wine glass, he still looked at Li Shuhong and persuaded: "Stop, don't you want to be the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes?" โ
The smile on Li Shuhong's face disappeared.
He glanced at Gale and said in a playful tone, "Actually, there is a question that I have been puzzled about. โ
Next to him, Zhaoyang's eyes moved, and he directly withdrew the wine glass that was placed in front of Gale Wind.
She observed Li Shuhong for several months, and although she still felt that he was too imaginative, she also grasped something.
That is, when Li Shuhong is talking about business or is more distant from the other party, he will call himself "below".
On the contrary, if he is acquainted, he will only say "I".
Sure enough, she heard Li Shuhong's aggressive words next.
"At the beginning, those martial arts sects chased after them, and even when the secret weapon poisoned them all greeted them together...... Where are you? Why didn't you persuade them to stop at that time? If it weren't for the fact that he still had some strength below, I am afraid that the grass on the grave would have grown at this moment. โ
After Li Shuhong finished speaking, he suddenly realized, "Oh yes, Your Excellency also planned to assassinate Zaixia." โ
Gale fell silent.
Li Shuhong took a sip of wine and said leisurely: "As for being the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes...... Do they also deserve to represent the entire world? โ
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Besides, what about the entire rivers and lakes, as long as you dare to provoke me, then the so-called rivers and lakes...... There is no need to exist. โ
His words are crazy enough, and it is undeniable that this is also an unchanging fact.
Gale took a deep breath, "If the old man wants to stop you......"
"You deserve it too?"
Li Shuhong was still smiling, but what he said was not very good, "Why didn't I kill you?" It's not because you have a big face, it's just that I think it's better to have more pure stupid people like you on the rivers and lakes. But at the end of the day, do you think you're important? โ
Gale fell silent again.
After a while, he slowly spoke, "It's not important, maybe they even set up an ambush in the Hundred Flowers Palace." They plan to use my good reputation in the rivers and lakes to trick you into the past, and then besiege you when you are defenseless. โ
Li Shuhong took a sip of wine, "It seems that you are not stupid." โ
"Alas, in fact, the old man knows everything, but he just thinks that the intrigues and tricks are all small ways, and you are strong enough, the old man always thinks about what to do before the matter is irreparable, those fools ......" Gale sighed, and then took out the wine gourd and poured a sip of wine, "Why can this river and lake never be peaceful?" โ
"If you are peaceful, it will not be a river and lake." Li Shuhong waved his hand, "You are not suitable for the rivers and lakes, find a woman, go home to have children and farm." โ
"But before that......" Gale put down the wine gourd, his eyes burning, "the old man has to make one last effort." โ
Li Shuhong smiled slightly, and the next moment he was already imprinted on the chest of Gale Wind.
"Poofโโ!
Gale wind blood spurted wildly, flew out several feet away, and smashed a large hall down.
In the midst of the rubble, he struggled to get up, but after several attempts, he couldn't.
"Sure enough...... I'm too far away from you......"
He simply gave up struggling and lay on his back in the rubble, staring at the starry sky.
It was a beauty he hadn't seen in decades.
Li Shuhong walked up to him and looked up at the starry sky, "Stars, it's beautiful." โ
"yes, I never knew the stars were so beautiful at night."
"Then you can see more, and it's not just the starry sky, but also the sunset, sunrise, and many, many more."
"Well, I will."
Gale Wind's face was more relaxed than ever, "Thank you." โ
"You're welcome."
Li Shuhong took Zhaoyang and left.
The gale did not move.
He pulled out the wine gourd from his waist and poured a sip of spirits.
The liquor mixed with the sweet, rusty smell in the mouth flowed into the throat.
"Ahem...... It seems that I will have to quit drinking in the future. โ
He put down the wine gourd, and also let go of the self-paralyzed master in his heart in the past.
In fact, he didn't want to stop Li Shuhong anymore.
But he needed a reason, a reason to convince him of the heroic "drunkard" Gale in his heart.
Now there is a reason.
He can't beat people, he can't stop people.
So be it.
"Ha ......"
This chuckle, I don't know if it's self-deprecation? Or is it liberation?
............
On the way back, Zhaoyang asked, "Is that person sick in the brain?" I was seriously injured by you, but I felt relieved, and I even had to thank you. โ
"A lot of people have their own beliefs, he actually understands everything, he just doesn't want to give up. Or maybe it's called sunk costs, he needs a reason to give up, and I gave him a reason. It's as simple as that. "Li Shuhong is an understanding brother.
This kind of person on the rivers and lakes is very cute, and it is also the reason why he fell in love with martial arts Xianxia.
But he couldn't be such a fool himself.
It is precisely because he will not become like that that he yearns.
But there aren't enough fools in this world, and it's good to have more fools like that.
"I see." Zhaoyang thought thoughtfully, "He is the second kind of person you said, the one who fails." โ
โ...... You're right. Li Shuhong shrugged, "But sometimes it takes courage to give up, take a step back and open the sky." โ
Zhaoyang nodded again, "I see, the same thing is interpreted in different words, it means two things, such as cunning and insidious and resourceful. So how do you tell the difference? โ
"It's easy." Li Shuhong chuckled, "Choose the one that is good for you." โ
Zhaoyang understands again.
She felt that she was gradually approaching Li Shuhong's mode of thinking.
When the two returned to the station in the grove, Huang Zhonglang led a soft woman dressed in white to come to visit, "Your Highness, Daxia, this is Zhang Qiuyue, the elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace, she said that she wants to cooperate with Daxia." โ
