Chapter 923: A Gentleman's Agreement
"What did you say?"
Xun Qin's words are like a sword, piercing through his heart. Tang Afu's body stiffened, and his eyes were full of shock. Of course, there is no lack of suspicion in addition to shock.
Compared with the ill-intentioned Jin Fuyu, Liu Xunyi is more worthy of trust. Seeing that Tang Afu's heart was shaken, Xun Qin took advantage of the situation to instigate, "After all, you two cherish each other......"
"Xun Qin, what are you talking nonsense?" Xun Qin swore and lobbied, making Liu Xunyi both embarrassed and anxious, and reminded in his ear, "I don't know anything about the Tang family, let alone who the culprit is, how can I ......?"
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. Xun Qin's eyes stared at the restless Tang Afu without blinking, and he interrupted in a low voice without looking back, "Now is the best time to win over Tang Afu, if you get his help, it will be like a tiger with wings." As the saying goes, 'Don't miss the opportunity, the time will never come', as for the matter of avenging the Tang family...... It's not too late to discuss it in the future. ”
"Lip service is not enough...... Could it be a gentleman's doing?" Liu Xunyi was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to reprimand loudly, looking very funny with a careful look of wanting to say and stopping.
"Who said 'it's not true'? Tang Afu has a bad fate, and he is the same person as you, don't you want to help him?"
"Of course I want to, but it's just ......"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Xun Qin interrupted Liu Xunyi's obsession quite impatiently, "Everything is man-made." ”
"But ......"
"Wait!" Suddenly, Tang Afu clarified the clues from his chaotic thoughts, looked at the two whispering suspiciously, and hesitated, "Jin Fuyu is the dock master of Jinjian Dock, his power is intertwined, and his connections are all over the world. But Liu is looking for clothes...... What is it? The imperial court is a prisoner, a public enemy of martial arts, and it is difficult to protect himself at the moment, how can he help me?"
"Feng Shui takes turns, although he has nothing now, but you don't want to take revenge overnight. I've been waiting for so many years, so why wait another year?"
"Wait another year?" Tang Afu was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Within a year, Liu Xunyi's status and power in the Central Plains martial arts must be no less than Jin Fuyu. By then......"
"Hmph!" Xun Qin's eloquent talk made Tang Afu laugh, and his eyes became more and more disdainful when he looked at them, "Open your mouth and be ashamed! Do you think that the Central Plains Martial Arts is your family's back garden? Do you think that the status of the rivers and lakes is blown out of red mouth and white teeth? Right now, Qingfeng ordered the heroes of the world to kill Liu Xunyi, don't say that he has no chance to turn defeat into victory, even if he has, he will not want to turn the world upside down within a year. It's not that I am so ambitious that I will destroy your prestige, Liu Xunyi wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts, let alone fight against Jin Fuyu?"
"The Central Plains Martial Arts can't tolerate Liu Xunyi, it's just because he killed Luo Tianjin. Xun Qin smiled disapprehantly, "As the saying goes, 'hearing is false, seeing is believing'." In fact, the person who killed Luo Tianjin was not Liu Xunyi at all, but Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao......"
"Xun Qin, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing Xun Qin's unscrupulous words, Liu Xunyi's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly drank it.
It's a pity that the words spoken are like water spilled out, and it is too late to take them back at this moment.
Sure enough, Xun Qin's blurt out and Liu Xunyi's panic made Tang Afu stunned, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.
"You ...... What did you just say?" Tang Afu asked in disbelief, "You said that the person who killed Luo Tianjin was not Liu Xunyi?" but ...... Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao ......"
"Oops!" Xun Qin's eyes changed, and he slapped his hand on the forehead, with a look of frustration that he had made a mistake and regretted not being at the beginning, and under Liu Xunyi's complaining and angry gaze, he counted himself down one by one, "Blame me! Blame me! Blame me for being careless in telling the truth...... Even if the ruthless swordsman is my own, I shouldn't talk nonsense......"
Looking at Xun Qin, who was pretending, Liu Xunyi was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. After all, the wood is already in the boat, even if he dies of anger, vomiting, and annoyance, it will not help.
"That's it!" Xun Qin felt sorry for himself, and said to Tang Afu, who was full of suspicion, "The matter has come to this, and I won't hide it from you anymore." In fact, Liu Xunyi was a scapegoat who was framed by Qingfeng's father and daughter, just as the Great Song Dynasty court framed him for betraying the country for glory. ”
"This ......"
Although Tang Afu couldn't produce any evidence, he didn't know why? Instead of raising half a question, he answered thoughtfully: "Even so, why did Liu Xunyi shout at the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance? Even if he revealed the truth to the world, I am afraid that few people will believe it......"
"With Liu Xunyi's own strength, of course he can't go against the master of the martial arts alliance. If the king of Shaoqin is willing to use the power of Western Liao to help him...... The results will be very different?"
"King Shaoqin?" Tang Afu looked at Xun Qin who was secretive as if he didn't understand, and the confusion in his eyes was even worse.
"Now that we're getting to the point, there's no point in hiding it. To tell you the truth, I sacrificed my life to rescue Liu Xunyi in accordance with the orders of King Shaoqin. Xun Qin's expression was full of expression, and his words were righteous, "We not only want to save him, but also help him rehabilitate Zhaoxue and gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains martial arts." Tang Afu, you may not know much about King Shaoqin, but you should be clear about Ren Wuya and Luo Tianjin, when they were alive...... They are all proud to make friends with the young Qin king. At this point, you should understand what it means for Liu Xunyi to get the help of the Young Qin King?"
"This ......"
"It is said that Lord Xiao Gu has always been unscrupulous about your revenge, and he doesn't even approve of you acting rashly when you were young. Xun Qin turned a blind eye to Tang Afu's suspicions, and his words turned to poke at his weakness, "You have been single-handedly for so many years, and you have not been able to get the help of Ruthless Valley. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have rushed to the doctor and joined Jin Fuyu. Today, as long as you are willing to advance and retreat with us, once Liu Xunyi gains power, we will do our best to help you track down the culprit and avenge the blood and revenge. Ignorance...... What do you think?"
"Do you want me to betray the valley master?" Tang Afu's eyes were cold, "Impossible!"
"Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of letting you betray Lord Xiao Gu, I just want to join forces with you for the time being and take what you need. As...... Your 'deal' with Jin Fuyu. Xun Qin smiled meaningfully, "As the saying goes, 'clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as the old'." Jin Fuyu is as cunning as a scorpion, and if you 'do business' with him, you will lose all your money if you are not careful. But Liu Xunyi is different, you should understand his personality, once he agrees to seek revenge for you, he will never go back on his word. ”
"But Jin Fuyu and I have a word first, how can we go to the twilight?"
"Do things...... Indeed, there should be a beginning and an end. Looking at the hesitant Tang Afu, instead of being annoyed, Xun Qin nodded understandingly.
After pondering for a moment, she cast a sly gaze on the worried Liu Xunyi, and at the same time changed her previous tone: "Since the ruthless swordsman can't bear to kill you, are you willing to understand his suffering?"
"Xun Qin, what the hell are you trying to do?" Liu Xunyi asked angrily.
"Since Tang Afu promises to others, how can he not send a sword to you......? The bell must also be tied to the bell, and it should be up to you to make a break for him. ”
"This ......" Seeing that Xun Qin went around in a big circle and returned to the original point, Liu Xunyi and Tang Afu were stunned at the same time, "You let us ......"
"Making a decision does not mean that you are alive or dead. Xun Qin explained matter-of-factly, "Ruthless swordsman, do you dare to gamble with Liu Xunyi?"
"Bet on what?"
"You are a ruthless swordsman, just bet on the sword in your hand!" Xun Qin pondered, "Within Shihe, see if Liu Xunyi can take your ruthless sword with his bare hands." If you can, it proves that you are far from his opponent, and it is impossible to fulfill your promise to Jin Fuyu. Providence is like this, you have nothing to do, and he can't blame you. As a condition of losing, you must join forces with us. If not...... We are no longer strong. From now on, even if you let the horse chase and kill, whether it is a sneak attack or an ambush, even if it is a hidden weapon or poison, Liu Xunyi will accept it all, and there will be no two words. How?"
"Xun Qin, do you know what you're talking about? For a swordsman, the sword is more important than his life. Liu Xunyi was stunned, and hurriedly refused, "It's easy to kill him, but it's ...... to take his sword."
"Why? Are you so unconfident in yourself? I've made a big bet on you, don't let me lose money. Xun Qin pretended to be angry and interrupted, "If you don't even have the ability to grab a sword, how can you talk about it?" If that's the case, I'll tell King Shaoqin as soon as possible that you're dead to you, and save a waste of energy." ”
"You ......"
"I agree with Xun Qin's suggestion. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to refute, the dignified Tang Afu said quietly, "Whether you can make me change my course depends on whether you have the ability." Right now, instead of having no power or power, you are in a lot of blood debts, and the risk of joining forces with you is no less than that of joining forces with Jin Fuyu. Jin Fuyu's elusiveness is the human heart, and what you can't predict is the future. If you can take my merciless sword within the ten, I believe you have what it takes to turn things around. If you can't, what you say tonight should be nonsense, and you and I will do our own thing, so that we can do our own thing. ”
"This ......"
"It was a hit, and it was decided!"
Xun Qin was not afraid of big things when she saw the excitement, and clapped her hands excitedly like an innocent and ignorant little girl. looked back and forth between the two of them with interest, and then walked to Liu Xunyi, who was in a dilemma, and spit out a sentence meaningfully: "The ruthless swordsman has an arrogant temperament, and he can't live forever, and no amount of rhetoric can touch his heart." The only way to earn his respect is ...... Beat him hard! Beat him mercilessly! Beat him once and for all! Tonight, the more ruthless you will be to Tang Afu's spirit, the more desperate he will be for you in the future. If I were you, I wouldn't leave my hand behind. ”
After saying that, Xun Qin stretched out his hand and patted the thoughtful Liu Xunyi's shoulder lightly, turned around suddenly, and walked towards his grass hut without looking back.
"Where are you going?"
"The master has made a move, and the idler is exempt. Not to mention...... I'm sleepy. ”
"This ......" Xun Qin's answer made Liu Xunyi cry and laugh, "Didn't you look forward to our competition just now?"
"It's expectation, but I'm not looking forward to the process, it's the result. ”
Before the laughter fell, Xun Qin had stretched his waist lazily and disappeared into the darkness.
