Chapter 158: Treacherous
The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that after a sword pierced Xiao Chucai, Hong Manjiang put the sword into the sheath and went to the southeast with the person who came out of the dense forest.
That man's martial arts skills are not high, but he is good at conspiracy, and many of the poisonous schemes of the peerless family are from his handwriting, even some people in the rivers and lakes who are known for their insidious and vicious spirits have to be respectful in front of him.
This person's pace was very slow, Hong Manjiang deliberately slowed down, and after a while, this thin old man with mediocre martial arts stopped and sighed to rest.
Hong Manjiang asked respectfully: "Master Li, I have already listened to your orders, killed the junior brother, and completely drew a line with Shushan, this time you should believe me, right?"
The thin old man called Li Junshi shook his head slowly and said, "You kicked him into the water, do you really think I'm old and foolish?
Hong Manjiang's face remained unchanged, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his heart, but this thought was fleeting, and his attitude was sincere at the moment, and he said in a humble tone: "I have joined the 'Mirror Moon Sea' for several years, and I have worked loyally for the big boss, and the merits of these years are obvious to all, even some elders applauded and praised them, can the military advisor still not believe it?"
The calm old man Li showed a scheming smile, snorted lightly, and teased in a somewhat mocking tone: "People's hearts are unpredictable, in this world, there are too many variables before everything is completely resolved, and the only person who can trust is myself, which is the foundation of my life to this age. ”
Hong Manjiang, who had a calm temperament, was in front of the thin old man, feeling deep in the other party's city, and did not speak, in silence he thought about the previous things, the competition back then was true, that person was originally an unknown swordsman in the rivers and lakes, but he was seriously injured.
Fortunately, he is not a showman, you come and go, there are mutual injuries, but he did not fall into the cliff as the world rumored, but was secretly taken away by a group of people.
After waking up, Hong Manjiang found out that person was a swordsman of the "Mirror Moon Sea", there are four swordsmen in this mysterious organization, although they are unknown in the rivers and lakes, but their swordsmanship belongs to the first-class masters.
In addition, there are three elders and two heads, the two heads are in charge of the left and right halls, and there are many masters under them, but the big boss behind the scenes has never shown up.
Hong Manjiang was controlled by them with drugs at first, and later roasted his own internal strength to resist part of the medicinal power, he did not choose to flee, but voluntarily surrendered and acted as a killing tool in it.
It wasn't until a year later that he began to contact the old man in front of him, this old man looked like he was about to die, but he was in good health, and many people were sent out by him to different places, but he was as stable as Mount Tai and did not hurt a bit.
Hong Manjiang has never figured out why the people in this organization should listen to an old scholar's words, but in the years of investigation, he has also understood the insidious and treacherous nature of this person.
Although he has revealed murderous intentions to this old man more than once, he has to endure it until he sees the true face of the big boss, because in the entire organization, only this old man who knows how to maintain health can contact the big boss.
Seeing that Hong Manjiang fell into silence, the old fox coughed and said in an unhappy tone: "What's the matter?
Hong Manjiang's body trembled, came back to his senses, and pretended to be panicked and said: "How dare you think like this, if the military advisor is still suspicious, you might as well use this sword to finish me off." ”
Hong Manjiang said, handed over the thin-bladed long sword "Baichuan" in his hand, but the thin old man was unequivocal, pulled out the sword with a "choking" sound, pressed it against Hong Manjiang's neck, and asked coldly: "Don't regret it?" Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Afraid, no one in the world is not afraid of death, but being suspected is more uncomfortable than death. Hong Manjiang's neck had already been marked with blood, and the thin old man didn't intend to stop there, he said with a sigh.
"In that case, the old man will fulfill you. The old man raised his long sword and was about to pierce Hong Manjiang's throat, Hong Manjiang watched his movements, and the heart that was still hanging finally fell. Since the other party raised the sword as if he was a snake, instead of directly cutting his throat, he was just pretending.
Although the old man was good at calculating people's hearts, he did not kill people with his sword in his own hand after all, but I don't know where such nonsense and superfluous actions came from if he really wanted to put people to death? The old man was scheming and defeated in the details, and as expected, looking at Hong Manjiang's expression of generosity to death, the old man stopped the long sword in his hand at the critical moment.
"Leave your life, there is still use, and after this is done, the old man will completely believe you. ”
"What?"
"You don't have to ask, just go on a mission with the Four Swordsmen when the time comes. After the thin old man called Li Junshi finished speaking, he seemed to have rested enough, got up from the bluestone, patted the grass clippings on his buttocks, and continued to hurry.
Although Hong Manjiang had doubts in his heart, he didn't expect this secretive old man to tell himself, he touched his neck, and his hands were stained with blood, he casually bandaged the wound with a cloth, and went back to the inn in the town with the old man.
He had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, because the old man was going to meet some people, and there might be some scum in those people whose martial arts were higher than him, if that was the case, then this mysterious organization, what it was going to plan, could not be described as earth-shattering.
Hong Manjiang squinted at the sky, and sighed in his heart: "Little junior brother, I hope you can pass this level smoothly, this is dangerous, I hope you don't get involved." ”
Xiao Chucai, who had recovered his senses in the medical hall, didn't know what the sixth senior brother was doing, but being able to draw his sword against him was naturally not an ordinary thing, and he instinctively sensed the danger in it, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
It was late at night, and the Li family had already fallen asleep, but he put on his coat and walked out of the room.
Although it has already begun spring, the weather is inevitably a little cold, the night wind blows, although Xi Wu's body is accustomed to it, but the cold felt at the wound makes him feel cold.
Walking to the door of Lu Qiu's room where Master Lu was leaving, Xiao Chucai knocked on the door, but no one answered in the room, he knocked a few times in succession, but still no one answered.
knocked on the door several times in a row, but there was no impact in the room, Xiao Chucai couldn't help but wonder, how could there be no one in the room?
Even if Senior Lu is not there, Feng Mu, who lives in the same room with his senior, should also be there. But tonight, the old and the young seem to have disappeared out of thin air.
I really couldn't imagine where the two of them would go if they didn't sleep in the middle of the night, Xiao Chucai didn't think about it anymore, shook his head with some disappointment, and slowly walked back to his room, planning to get up tomorrow and ask his seniors about the whereabouts of the sixth senior brother, or where to find him.
