Chapter 23 Xiang Shang
Liu Lu's eyes were cold, but as soon as he made a move, he hadn't taken a few steps when a hand suddenly stretched out from a room next to him and grabbed his shoulder.
Liu Lu was taken aback, but the person who arrested him was obviously not an ordinary person, and a pinch of his hand made half of his body numb, and he couldn't resist at all.
After Liu Lu was pulled into the room, that hand was released.
Although he sensed that the other party did not seem to have malicious intent, Liu Lu still glared at the man.
There was only one person in the room, and the other was a tall, young man with a short beard in the eyes of indifference.
Liu Lu didn't know this person.
What made Liu Lu strange was that this person gave him a familiar feeling, but he really couldn't remember what this feeling was.
"What do you mean, friend?" Liu Lu questioned the person in front of him.
If he hadn't doubted the origin and purpose of the other party, and was afraid that he would make too much movement here, alarm Wang Fengye, and attract the attention of the Weihu Dart Bureau, Liu Lu would have done it a long time ago.
"Do you want to kill Wang Fengye?" The man's voice was hoarse.
Liu Lu's eyes flickered for a while, and he was silent and did not speak.
"I advise you not to look for death." The man sat at the table and took a sip of his glass.
Liu Lu looked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
But then, Liu Lu was a little stunned, because he saw a hint of narrowness flashing in the man's eyes, and then his indifferent eyes became a little gentle.
"What do you say?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Lu was pleasantly surprised, "Xiang ...... To Senior Brother! ”
This person is Xiang Shang after a disguise.
Looking at Xiang Shang's appearance, he was also quite happy to see Liu Lu, but Xiang Shang quickly interrupted Liu Lu's reminiscences seriously, "This is not the place to talk, let's leave here first, and the rest will come later." ”
"......"
In the face of Liu Lu's hesitation, Xiang Shang naturally understood what he meant, "I know what you mean." Don't think about it, that bastard is using his body as bait, the purpose is to lure us to the bait to die, this is a trap, believe it or not, there are several masters of the Tiger Dart Bureau hidden on the second floor? ”
Liu Lu naturally had no reason to doubt it, and at the same time he was secretly frightened in his heart, and at the same time, he was angry that he was really a ghost just now, and he was actually here to stab Wang Fengye to death.
Liu Lu secretly scolded himself for being crazy, and was glad that he had met Xiang Shang.
At the same time, Liu Lu began to wonder how Xiang Shang recognized him, could it be that there was a problem with his disguise, and his technique was so bad that others could see it at a glance, then he was still hanging around the territory of the Weihu Dart Bureau day by day, isn't this a lamp in the pit!
Liu Lu couldn't say for a while whether he was afraid or surprised.
Xiang Shang had already gone outside, and Liu Lu, who was following behind, was not able to ask questions in public.
Out of Chunxiang Building, Xiang Shang did not look suspicious and suspicious, obviously weak-hearted, but upright, cold-eyed and squinting at others, with a fierce appearance that no one should provoke him.
Liu Lu followed behind Xiang Shang, and the two didn't say much along the way, the Iron Sword Gate has been operating in Tassel City for so many years, so it naturally has other backgrounds, so that the Iron Sword Gate will not be paralyzed, and the others will not even have a place to stay.
Turning around, in front of a rather imposing house in the city, Xiang Shang stopped.
Liu Lu guessed that this should be Xiang Shang's foothold, and then Liu Lu was led by Xiang Shang through the side door.
The exterior of this house looks magnificent, but the interior decoration is very simple, although there are not many traces of people living in it, but the care is well organized, clean and tidy, which makes people feel quite comfortable.
After entering the courtyard, Xiang Shang did not rush to take Liu Lu into the main hall, but introduced the courtyard, "This is a private residence of my Xiang family, which was purchased a long time ago by secret means and as a person who has nothing to do with the Iron Sword Gate, and there have been people living here for many years to hide people's eyes." ”
Liu Lu nodded, it is indeed very thoughtful, no matter how powerful the Weihu Dart Bureau is, it will never dare to blatantly search the private house, the government will have some connivance after weighing the pros and cons of some disputes in the rivers and lakes, or interfere a little, but it will definitely not allow the forces of the rivers and lakes to exceed the prohibition and get involved in the power and authority of the government, let alone allow the disputes in the rivers and lakes to affect the ordinary innocent people, so that the people are resentful, thus breeding rebellion against the government and causing the hidden danger of turmoil.
This kind of hidden thing was told to Liu Lu by Shang Neng, which showed his trust and attention to him, but Liu Lu did not feel any joy or excitement, but inexplicably felt a little more pressure in his heart.
Liu Lu joked and said, "Senior Brother Xiang, tell me such a secret thing, aren't you afraid that I will leak it?" ”
"I believe in you."
Xiang Shang said abruptly: "The Iron Sword Gate suffered this catastrophe, we have lost many people, but there are also those who have escaped with their lives like you and me. It's just that there are not many people who can still remember coming back, and even fewer who can not forget revenge. …… It's their choice, I don't blame them, and I'm not in a position to ask them anything more. ”
Hearing this, Liu Lu was also silent for a while, not knowing what to say, there is no hope for the Iron Sword Gate, those ordinary people can escape the catastrophe and already have to pray, how can they still have the heart to go to the Tiger Dart Bureau to seek revenge, even if they have resentment and feelings for the Iron Sword Gate, but in the face of the strong power of the Tiger Dart Bureau now, they can only die for no reason when they come back, no one will be stupid enough to joke about their own lives, it is Liu Lu himself, ask himself, if it is not because of Hu Wei's relationship, If he was just an ordinary disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, he probably wouldn't have come to die when he knew he couldn't do it.
And Xiang Shang, as the young master of the Iron Sword Gate, whether it is hatred or responsibility, it is not comparable to the ordinary disciples of the Iron Sword Gate, the Iron Sword Gate is not the Xiang family, but Xiang Wentian is the master of the door, Xiang Liqing is the deputy master, Xiang Shang does not say it, they must have the responsibility of protecting the Iron Sword Gate. The Xiang family did not use the power of the family to support the entire Iron Sword Gate, correspondingly, a completely useless, and lazy person, the Xiang family will not be included in the Iron Sword Gate, from this time the Iron Sword Gate suffered a catastrophe, those people did not rebel and escaped, and after suffering with the Iron Sword Gate, there is no question of who still owes the difficulty.
Therefore, those surviving disciples of the Iron Sword Sect, no matter what choice they made, Xiang Shang had no reason to ask for anything more.
"I'll clean up first, and then we'll have a good talk." Xiang Shang gestured to the costume on his body, meaning that he had to remove the disguise first.
Liu Lu nodded, and then sat in the courtyard and waited for Xiang Shang, he did have many questions to learn from Xiang Shang, including how Xiang Shang escaped from the hands of the blind man when the tiger roar was separated, Liu Lu had always thought that Xiang Shang had encountered an accident.
Half an hour later, Xiang Shang and Liu Lu sat in the main hall, because they were also very familiar with each other, and the two of them were also very casual.
Liu Lu looked at Xiang Shang again, revealing his true face, Xiang Shang had changed a lot compared to the person he knew before, and looked much more mature.
The current Xiang Shang, with resolute eyes and a little indifferent, the temperament of the whole person is not as uninhibited as before, and has become much calmer, but this calmness seems to have a trace of twilight.
In addition to temperament, Xiang Shang's appearance has also changed a lot, the circle of beard on his face is not a disguise at all, and the person who has never grown a beard before has actually grown a beard, and the whole person looks more mature, and what is even more shocking is that the extra scar on Xiang Shang's face, a scar that slanted from the corner of his right eye to his cheek, is still slightly red.
Liu Lu can imagine the danger of Xiang Shang's scar, the previous attack of Hu Xiaolin, he himself was not lightly injured, there were several large and small scars, even now, the serious part of the injury still hurts from time to time, but it is far less dangerous than the injury on Xiang Shang's face.
Liu Lu couldn't see what caused the injury on Xiang Shang's face, but whether it was a knife or a sword, in that case, as long as the strength was heavier by half a point, it was impossible to say that half of his head could be cut off on the spot, or if it was deviated by another one or two points, most of that eye would be useless.
Seeing that Liu Lu was a little stunned, Xiang Shang chuckled, "Ha, what's the matter, I'm scared?" ”
Liu Lu quickly shook his head, he didn't know what to say for a while, they were not a person who could comfort each other.
Xiang Shang pondered for a while, "I returned to Tassel City a few days earlier than you, and I would often pay attention to Hu Lao's courtyard before, I only saw you appear in the past few days, has Hu Lao had an accident?" ”
"Hmm."
Liu Lu sighed, and told Xiang Shang in detail what had happened between him and Hu Wei after they were separated from the Tiger Roaring Forest.
After saying that, both of them were a little silent. Resentment, anger, sorrow, mourning, resentment...... These emotions have been dissipated at the beginning, and now I am just a little more silent in my heart.
After that, Liu Lu also learned some things from Xiang Shang that he didn't know.
According to Xiang Shang, the reason why he was able to escape from the Tiger Roaring Forest alive was not only to save his life at a critical moment with the True Qi Pill and some precious medicines on his body, but also because of Xiang Liqing's sacrifice. At that time, the two of them were in a desperate situation to gain a chance with their lives, and after paying a great price, they won a chance to let Xiang Shang escape, and Xiang Shang did not disappoint, and finally escaped.
Xiang Shang sighed, "In the battle of the Tiger Roaring Forest, there is not one person in ten who can survive!" ”
This was basically expected by Liu Lu, who had previously been pessimistic about Xiang Shang and Xiang Liqing and others if they could live, because they were the targets of the Green Wolf Gang, and the attacks they received could naturally be imagined.
Xiang Shang's life did surprise Liu Lu again, if he knew Xiang Shang's news, he would definitely not act alone to think about dealing with the Tiger Dart Bureau and Wang Fengye, in this case, Xiang Shang is half of his backbone, if he wants to take revenge, whether it is in terms of strength or planning, Xiang Shang is much stronger than him.
The sudden collapse of the Iron Sword Gate of Tassel City, the death of the door owner Xiang Wentian, Liu Lu only heard about it during this time, and now the truth of this news naturally does not need to be doubted, but Liu Lu wants to know more details, the news circulating outside, mostly rumors, now to take revenge, to deal with the Tiger Dart Bureau and Wang Fengye and the like, naturally the more detailed the better, the more true the better, Liu Lu does not want to take his own life because of a fake news one day.
Although Liu Lu couldn't bear it and didn't want to stimulate Xiang Shang too much, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Senior Brother Xiang, do you know ......?"
