"Speaking of which, the last time I chatted with Mr. Shang like this, when was it?"

In the dimly lit dungeon, a small table, two small lamps, the fragrance of tea overflowing, and the bright cicadas seemed to be heard outside the window.

If it weren't for the jingling of the chains on his wrists, he would have thought it would seem good to be here like this.

"Brother Lu still came early."

After taking a sip of tea, Shang drank it all in a few small sips, and sighed: "If it is half a moon in the evening, the peaches on Huashan should be fully bloomed." ”

Although his right hand was chained and attached to the wall, his left hand was able to move freely, and in this prison, it was considered a preferential treatment.

"Maybe it's a missed fate, the dangerous peak of Mount Hua is also a wonder in the world, and it is worth the trip."

Sitting opposite the Shang Dao, Lu Hanjiang filled the other party's cup with tea, and said loudly: "Mr. Shang, is the tea still appetizing?" ”

Shang Jidao's face was a little pale, his injuries were not yet healed, he just smiled slightly: "Brother Lu is worried, it's just the tea of the nobles, and I can't get used to drinking it from the mountains and wilderness." ”

"In that case, why force yourself."

Lu Hanjiang drank the tea in his cup, stared at it for a long time, and said: "That girl is doing well with me, I hired a little master for her to teach her martial arts, although she may not be able to cross the rivers and lakes, at least she has the power to protect herself." ”

When Shang Jidao heard this, he arched his hand with a smile: "It's annoying Brother Lu." ”

Lu Hanjiang shook his head: "Mr. Shang, since you have been invited back by me, but the girl is still alive, does Mr. continue to hide it, it's not like this to be friends." ”

Shang Jidao didn't panic, he said calmly: "Brother Lu, forgive me, it's really a good lie, and when I open my mouth again, I can't tell what is true and what is false." ”

Although he pretended to be free and easy, but in fact, his words were full of bitterness, and Shang Jidao said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu wants to know something, just ask." ”

Lu Hanjiang put down the empty cup, his eyes fell on Shang Jidao, and said softly: "If my guess is right, the two children I took away from Huashan at the beginning are your children, right?" ”

"Brother Lu is right," Shang Jidao no longer concealed it, he bowed his head slightly, "I deliberately created a false impression for the nobles above, and the person who Brother Lu wanted to grab my handle, so that you all thought that those two children were a disguise, so that you could all shift your attention to that 'Shang Luo'." ”

Demon Museum

"Mr. Shang is calculating."

Lu Hanjiang praised: "Borrowing my hand to send the two children to the Jingshi not only keeps them away from the troubles in the rivers and lakes, but also avoids the attention of Jinyiwei, which is really a good means." ”

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Lu for taking care of them." Shang bowed a few times, and his expression was sincere: "This worship can be regarded as thanking Brother Lu, and it can be regarded as making amends for Brother Lu's sins. ”

"Mr. Shang is polite."

Lu Hanjiang helped him weakly, and then asked: "In that case, why did you put 'Shang Luo' - almost forgot to ask, Mr. Shang knows what the girl's real name is?" ”

Shang Jidao shook his head: "Since the child was sent to me, I borrowed my daughter's name, I have been like this since I was a child, the name is just a code name, Brother Lu must be used to calling her 'Shang Luo', right." ”

"That's right."

Lu Hanjiang shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask: "Then please tell Mr. Shang bluntly, why was that girl entrusted by you to Ghost Li, don't mention any more old lies, now there is no light of day here, only you and me, and I hope that Mr. will be honest with each other." ”

“...... All I know is that it has to do with her. ”

Shang Jidao hesitated for a moment and said, "She was the one who asked me to hand over Shang Luo to Ghost Li, as for why, I don't know..... It seems that Brother Lu has already guessed the true identity of the child. ”

In the end, Shang Jidao's tone seemed a little sad and silent.

"Since Mr. Shang was brought back with great fanfare, naturally everything that should be known is known."

Lu Hanjiang lifted the teapot and shook it, filling the last cup for himself and Shang: "There is one last question, why did Mr. Shang help her?" ”

This question made Shang Dao silent for a long time before he said slowly: "For the sake of fame and profit, the future of the Huashan faction has long been gambled on by the ancestors, I am just Xiao Gui Cao, why is Brother Lu suspicious here?" ”

"Mr. Shang is a smart person, if he didn't choose the path he chose, how could he go on without knowing it."

Lu Hanjiang bent his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was a little dark: "I have also had a few encounters with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, if you talk about strength, she is indeed worthy of being followed, if you talk about scheming, it seems that it is not impossible for her to pull Mr. Shang into the chariot." ”

"In that case, what questions does Brother Lu have?" Shang Jidao asked.

"I have all the scheming energy, but what about the means?"

Lu Hanjiang looked at Shang Jidao calmly and said, "If you only talk about the first two, I ask myself if I don't lose to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, why is Mr. just acting on me, but he is willing to serve His Highness sincerely?" I'm afraid the gap is on this means, maybe the gentleman will solve my confusion for me? ”

Shang Jidao half-lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the tea in the cup, he did not answer Lu Hanjiang's question, but asked instead: "...... Brother Lu knows why the Huangfu family can be called a family. ”

Lu Hanjiang's fingers tapped down on the table: "The tree is big and the roots are deep, and the strength of the family lies in the heritage." ”

"Brother Lu is right, in this case, why is the Huangfu family like a castle in the sky, after the Huangfu Yushu betrayed the demon path, it completely collapsed overnight, and then disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and there was no news at all." The words of the business are different.

Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes: "What Mr. Shang meant, the things left by the Huangfu family were transferred away in advance." ”

Shang Jidao raised his eyes and said, "Your Highness has an intelligence network in his hand based on the Huangfu family and the cooperation of the Xuantian Sect for decades, covering all corners of the rivers and lakes, and his ability is not much worse than that of Jinyiwei. ”

Lu Hanjiang understood: "I see, thank you Mr. Shang for informing me, but I don't know what this has to do with Mr.?" ”

Shang Ji said: "What happened to me in the hands of Jinyiwei, Your Highness will know in a few days, and I will definitely die by then." ”

"Sir is afraid of death?"

"Is there still a person in the world who is not afraid of death?"

After asking a few rhetorical questions, he said with a wry smile: "Today I have fallen into a certain death situation, what Brother Lu wants to ask, whether I say it or not, I think the crown princess will not spare me in the future." ”

"If I were His Highness, I would definitely not let you live."

Lu Hanjiang nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Since Mr. Shang knows everything, why bother with it, it's better to do a good deed before you die, and I can give you a good time." ”

"This is where I asked Brother Lu."

Shang Jidao sat up straight, and said with a solemn gaze: "Please also ask Brother Lu to kill me slowly, send me to the mansion of His Royal Highness Jingshi, and she will personally dispose of it, if you are willing to agree, I will know everything." ”

"Mr. Shang wants to guess His Highness's mind one last time?" Lu Hanjiang seemed interested.

"Exactly, I don't want to die." Shang Jidao said calmly.

Lu Hanjiang didn't hesitate for long before agreeing: "I promise you." ”

"Thank you."

Shang Jidao took a deep breath and slowly ripped open the clothes on his chest, only to see that there was a purple-black mark in his heart, as if the ink droplets that had fallen into the water, and at this moment, it was still spreading outward little by little.
