There’s No Such Thing as Love in a Swordsman’s Heart

Chapter 35: Ghost city

Views:

Lu Jiu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly came back to his senses and shouted at Jiang Su: "What is dirty! You are dirty!"

Bai Yusheng stood a few steps away, his face silent.

His clothes, his thousands of taels of gold silk cloud satin, were just thrown on the head of Lu Jiu, this stinky thief

He didn't know if Lu Jiu was dirty, but his clothes were dirty! ! !

However, Jiang Su was still standing on the legs of Lu Jiu's chair, and said, "If you wear other people's clothes, you will be numb, so you are very numb now."

Lu Jiu: "You forced me!"

Jiang Su was too lazy to pay attention to his rebuttal, and simply came to the conclusion: "You are dirty."

Lu Jiu: "Bah!"

Jiang Su: "You're dirty."

Lu Jiu: "I didn't!"

Jiang Su: "You're dirty."

Lu Jiu: "..."

It was the first time that Lu Jiutou met such an unreasonable righteous person.

He felt that Jiang Su was simply arguing and talking nonsense, but he couldn't stop Jiang Su from saying what he wanted to say when his mouth grew on others.

Not to mention that he is still a prisoner of others. Although he is stubborn, he is unwilling to confess his behind-the-scenes instructions, but he knows in his heart that now his life is in the hands of these people, he just feels that the righteous people are not right. It is very likely that he will be tortured, and this is why he has no fear and refuses to speak.

But when the person in front of him was Jiang Su, Lu Jiu suddenly panicked.

At first glance, Jiang Su is not a serious person, and there is no restraint in doing things. No one knows what kind of things Jiang Su will do. If he really offends Jiang Su, Lu Jiu feels that Jiang Su is very Maybe drag him out to feed the dog on the spot.

He finally swallowed the anger in his heart, rolled his eyes at Jiang Su, and was too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Su.

Jiang Su also snorted coldly, stepping on the leg of the chair and pressing Lu Jiu again: "Tell me, who asked you to steal the key."

Lu Jiu closed his eyes and said, "I'm dirty, I'm in so much pain, I don't want to talk."

Jiang Su: "..."

very good.

Jiang Su felt that he had an opponent and met the first person who successfully angered him.

He turned his head and looked at the few people behind him. Originally, he wanted them to help out and get Lu Jiu on the ground first, but he didn't want everyone except Li Hanshan to have an indescribable expression. Seeing Jiang Su turning their eyes around, they also hurriedly avoided their eyes, just pretending they had never noticed Jiang Su's gaze.

Jiang Su felt very wrong.

What's wrong with these people? Why do both of them look at him like this

He looked at Lu Jiu, combined with what Lu Jiu just said, he understood the meaning of several people almost instantly.

Shouldn't they... also thought he had a broken sleeve? !

Jiang Su tried his best to explain.

"Lu Jiu is talking nonsense." He tried his best to look serious, "How could I have a broken sleeve?"

Fang Yuanluo nodded and said with a dry smile, "Haha, Brother Jiang, don't worry, I believe in you."

Bai Yusheng used to smile and said, "Jiang Shaoxia, Bai understands."

Fu Wenxiao: "..."

He didn't speak.

Jiang Su took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, tried to show his ability to persuade everything, and seriously said to a few people: "I know you don't believe it in your heart, Doctor Fu, Deputy Gang Leader Fang, we have known each other for so long, you guys. Do you think I'm like that too?"

Fang Yuanluo continued to laugh dryly: "Haha, Brother Jiang, of course you are not."

After saying this, he remembered that Jiang Su was inseparable from Li Hanshan in the Wulin League, and even... Wait, was Jiang Su drinking with Li Hanshan when he found Jiang Su in the plum garden that time.

Two people, before and after the moon...

tsk tsk.

Fu Wenxiao still didn't speak.

He was carefully recalling the expressions and behaviors of Jiang Su and Li Hanshan when they got along. The tacit understanding between the two cannot be easily achieved in a day or two. Even if they have known each other for many years, even if they are close friends, they may not be like the two of them. General tacit understanding and habits.

Fu Wenxiao thought for a while, and substituted himself into the situation Jiang Su said. If his clothes are dirty, will he wear his friends' clothes at will? What's more... Jiang Su's clothes were only splattered with a few drops of blood. In a short time, Fu Wenxiao felt that he could endure it, let alone Jiang Su who had experience in walking the rivers and lakes

After thinking about it, Fu Wenxiao didn't want to speak anymore.

Jiang Su had no choice but to pull Li Hanshan over and clarified seriously: "I'm just good friends with him."

Li Hanshan only opened his mouth at this time, and nodded seriously: "Yes, we are just good friends."

Fang Yuanluo: "Haha."

Fu Wenxiao: "..."

Bai Yusheng: "Mmmmm yes yes yes."

Jiang Su: "..."

Jiang Su kicked Lu Jiu's chair leg, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, he didn't bother to explain to a few people, anyway, he was not afraid of shadows, these people can think what they want, no matter what he thinks, there is only a sword in his heart. .

He didn't even want to ask a few more people to help him, so he stepped forward and dragged Lu Jiu's chair up, using a larger movement, which seemed to touch Lu Jiu's injury, causing Lu Jiuyi to cry in pain, and Jiang Su ignored it. He didn't even bother with polite persuasion, so he simply said, "Lu Jiu, have you ever thought about something."

Lu Jiu: "No."

"Even if you grit your teeth and don't want to admit anything at the moment, you have already fallen into our hands." Jiang Su ignored his nonsense and simply bent down and looked Lu Jiu's eyes directly, saying, "You Do you think the person who asked you to steal the key can really believe that you didn't say anything?"

Lu Jiu: "..."

"That's all I have to say." Jiang Su stood up and said, "You better think about it carefully."

He still didn't want to follow Bai Yusheng's suggestion to punish Lu Jiu. He knew Lu Jiu's behavior in the book. Although Lu Jiu was a thief, he didn't do anything serious. He also liked to rob the rich and help the poor. The cost of food and clothing is not very good. This is not fair to the wealthy family he stole from, but it is in line with the logic of a chivalrous person. People like Lu Jiu are not too heinous, and Jiang Su does not want to punish him.

He had prepared countless rhetoric, but Lu Jiu came back without a word, and now he is too lazy to say more, so he can only let Bai Yusheng untie Lu Jiu, let Lu Jiu go back to rest for a day, and he will come back tomorrow.

Bai Yusheng sighed and picked up Lu Jiu's own clothes in disgust. He was about to untie it for Lu Jiu, but Lu Jiu suddenly grinned at him and said, "Master Bai, you are dirty too."

Bai Yusheng: "..."

Jiang Su: "..."

Bai Yusheng pulled the cloth and blocked Lu Jiu's mouth.

He beckoned someone to come over and dragged Lu Jiu out of the house. Several people followed behind the guards. Jiang Su still frowned and thought, turned to look at Li Hanshan, and asked, "Lu Jiu used to steal things in the past, where is he used to sell the stolen goods? "

Lu Jiu has stolen a lot of peerless treasures. Those things are expensive and black goods. They can never be freely circulated on the market, and they can't even sell stolen goods through common channels. He must have his usual buying and selling channels.

But Li Hanshan and Lu Jiu were not familiar with each other, but after trying it once, he could only shake his head.

Jiang Su was about to continue to speak, but suddenly heard a cracking sound, he did not turn back, his body responded quickly, dragging Lu Jiu, who was crippled, with one hand, holding his sword in the other. Blocking, he heard the sound of the ground, and a bone-penetrating nail was driven into his scabbard.

The force shook Jiang Su's wrists a little. He looked up and saw several black figures on the eaves not far away. Seeing that he missed a strike, he threw all the remaining hidden weapons. There was nothing else to block, so he could only protect Lu Jiu with the scabbard.

Li Hanshan stepped on the wall and jumped up the eaves, heading straight for a few people. Those people were rushing to escape. Bai Yusheng shouted that they would follow, but Jiang Su still stood there and looked down at his sword.

The bone-piercing nail was more than three inches long, glowing with an ancient blue-violet light, as if it was poisoned, and it was obviously coming from Lu Jiu. What he just said was right, and he instructed Lu Jiu to steal the key. The person who is obviously not at ease with Lu Jiu.

He felt that Lu Jiu was arrested, and in all likelihood he would confess his identity, so he wanted to strike first.

Jiang Su drew his sword out of the scabbard and cut off a few bone-penetrating nails from the scabbard, but his heart was gloomy for a moment.

When the incident happened suddenly, he had no choice but to lift his sword to block it. Although the scabbard was not damaged, such a small problem could be repaired a little, but he was still a little unhappy.

what a man! Such a cruel hand to someone else's wife! Want a face? !

Such a beautiful beauty! If you miss a hit, you will have to hit again! Still a man!

If he caught those few people, he would have even ripped off their skins!

Jiang Su turned his head angrily and looked at Lu Jiu who was startled. He rolled his eyes again and asked, "Do you understand? They are here to kill you."

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu remained silent, but Jiang Su looked at him and seemed to have loosened up a little. Li Hanshan and Bai Yusheng had come back one after the other, but they did not bring back those assassins. Li Hanshan did not When he opened his mouth, Bai Yusheng scolded first: "They are all dead men of Jackdaws. Seeing us chasing them, they have already killed themselves by biting poison."

After he said this, the guards in the Linlang Pavilion had dragged the bodies of those people back. Jiang Su glanced at them, and they were indeed the dead men of the killer organization. .

Jiang Su could only look at Lu Jiu again and said, "If you don't tell me, no one will be able to keep you."

Lu Jiu: "..."

"You are in Linlang Pavilion now. If Young Master Bai carefully arranges it, Linlang Pavilion can still protect you." Jiang Su said, "But if you leave Linlang Pavilion, they will kill you in a few days."

When Bai Yusheng heard Jiang Su say this, he naturally understood what Jiang Su meant, and hurriedly opened his mouth to keep up, saying, "As long as you say it, the Bai family will protect you in this life even if they give everything they have."

Lu Jiu looked at Bai Yusheng, then lowered his eyes and muttered, "I... I don't know who it is."

Jiang Su frowned, waiting for what Lu Jiu was going to say next.

"No one dares to go to the job I picked up from the ghost market, and the reward has already reached a staggering price." Lu Jiudao said, "I've been short of money lately."

Jiang Su: "..."

Ghost city.

Jiang Su has also read this place in the original book, but when they went to the ghost market in the book, it was already in the late stage of the plot. Zhang Wenxue wanted to take Jiang Su to the ghost market to try his luck, and maybe he could get a solution to hold back tears. Medicine, I didn't expect that after he fed Xie Zeli medicine to disrupt the plot, the ghost market could come so early.

The book says that the ghost market is the most infamous black market on the rivers and lakes. People, if Lu Jiu's words are true, who is the employer behind the scenes, I'm afraid only the owner of the ghost market knows.

Jiang Su felt that they still had to go to the ghost market.

After thinking for a while, he simply squatted in front of Lu Jiu and stretched out his hand towards Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu was a little puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

"Token." Jiang Su said, "You've been to a ghost city, you should have it, right?"

Lu Jiu was still bound, so he could only bow his head and tell Jiang Su that the token was on his chest. Jiang Su was about to stretch out his hand to dig it out, but Li Hanshan couldn't help frowning, and grabbed Lu Jiu directly, He dragged it up, shook it vigorously, and dropped a bunch of things from Lu Jiu's body.

Fang Yuanluo: "..."

Fu Wenxiao: "..."

Bai Yusheng: "..."

The three looked at each other and felt that they understood.

Look, this makes me jealous and says I'm not broken sleeves.

Tsk, can this world be better

Lu Jiu was dragged by Li Hanshan and nearly strangled his neck, so he coughed, but he didn't dare to swear.

And Li Hanshan squatted down to pick and choose, took out a token from a pile of unknown tools and props, handed it to Jiang Su, and said: "One piece per person, if you take this, they will think you are Road Nine."

Jiang Su reached out to take it, and Li Hanshan said again, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Su couldn't help frowning: "But you don't have a token."

Lu Jiu was lying on the ground. Hearing Jiang Su say this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "What token does he want, he took the blood shadow of the demon sect, and everyone has to make way for him."

Jiang Su: "..."

Jiang Su could hardly wait to give his head a hard blow.

He himself didn't feel that Li Hanshan's identity was different, he only regarded Li Hanshan as an ordinary person, and he even forgot that the Li Hanshan that Fang Yuanluo, Fu Wenxiao and others knew well, or the Mu Yichuan who was not well-known in the arena.

Luckily, Lu Jiu knew Li Hanshan's identity. Lu Jiu had never said this before, but the Blood Shadow Token is a token within the Demon Sect. As soon as the three words came out, I was afraid that everyone would know that Li Hanshan was a member of the Demon Sect.

He turned his head to look at Fu Wenxiao, originally wanting to explain, but Fu Wenxiao closed his eyes slightly, as if he had already noticed, he was not surprised, but Bai Yusheng simply smiled and said, "I'm just a businessman."

The implication is that he is too lazy to care about what is right and wrong. As long as it is beneficial to him, it is good. Only Fang Yuanluo opened his eyes wide and turned his eyes between Li Hanshan and Jiang Su. , after a long while, he sighed in shock and said, "So that's what it is... Brother Jiang! It's hard for you! It's moving!"

Jiang Su: "... ah?"

"It's just good and evil, not a problem!" Fang Yuanluo nodded seriously, "True love can break through everything!"

Jiang Su: "..."

What is this all about!

Li Hanshan was really puzzled, he didn't understand Fang Yuanluo's meaning, but he knew that his identity was exposed, but the few people in front of him didn't mind at all, he couldn't help being silent, and then said with a little emotion: "The right way really is all Nice guy."

Jiang Su: "..."

No, wait.

Although Jiang Su agrees with Li Hanshan's words, why does the Young Master of the Demon Sect think so

He was a little confused for a while, Bai Yusheng was worried about the embarrassment of the two of them, and did not want to stop the topic here, and hurriedly said: "Jiang Shaoxia, if you are going to go to the ghost city as Lu Jiu, you must not take your Bring the sword in."

There are people covering their faces everywhere in the ghost city. Jiang Su can cover his face with a mask to avoid being recognized, but many people in Jianghu are good at identifying people with weapons. As long as Jiang Su's sword is put out, many People can recognize him.

Lu Jiu doesn't use swords. He is good at soft whips, and he usually wears them around his waist. Jiang Su knows a little about this stuff, but he doesn't know how to use it. suffer.

Bai Yusheng had already waved his hand and ordered the attendant to step forward. He whispered a few words to the attendant, then raised his head and said to Jiang Su: "Today Lu Jiu was caught by you and me, I am afraid the news has already spread. , and Lu Jiu was arrested in the past, and he was able to escape smoothly almost every time, if he escaped successfully this time, it would not be unusual."

The attendant next to him had come back with a tray, covered with a long sword with silk satin, Bai Yusheng took off the satin, turned around and said to Jiang Su: "The number one thief in the world never misses, and this time, His goal is the Qingxiao Sword."

Jiang Su: "..."

On the tray is the Qingxiao Sword.

The Qingxiao sword in front of him has been cleaned up, and the strange smell is gone. It is finally the millennial beauty that Jiang Su has longed for for many years. Jiang Su couldn't help holding his breath, reached out and gently stroked the sword, and then looked back at him. Bai Yusheng couldn't contain the surprise in his eyes, but Bai Yusheng smiled slightly and made a gesture of please to Jiang Su.

Jiang Su: "Such a gift..."

"For the Bai family, this is not a big gift," Bai Yusheng laughed, "Jiang Shaoxia, no one in the Bai family knows how to use a sword. The Qingxiao sword in Linlang Pavilion is a waste of money. A sword matches a hero. This sword is more suitable. you."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Li Hanshan's expression was gloomy, and his heart was inexplicably depressed.

He thought, this Bai Yusheng really deserves to be a member of the Bai family. It has been a long time before he has grasped Jiang Su's preferences, and he has already begun to make Jiang Su happy.

Humph.

Isn't it just a sword? He also has a bunch of swords, if he were to send swords, he wouldn't lose to Bai Yusheng!

But Jiang Su obviously didn't think so much.

He just picked up the Qingxiao sword and tapped the scabbard lightly. The sword was out of the scabbard, and the blade was cold and sharp. It was a rare good sword.

He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. If it weren't for him still rushing to the ghost market, he could hardly wait to watch the whole night with the Qingxiao Sword in his hands.

wife! beautiful wife! Someone else's beautiful wife!

It's his from today hahahaha! ! !

Although the location of the ghost market is mysterious, it often changes places. It is really difficult for people in the right way to find the ghost market. Jiang Su has Li Hanshan by his side.

And it just so happened that the ghost market today happened to be near Changning City.

Jiang Su and Li Hanshan calculated the distance, they could walk back and forth in two or three days, and Jiang Su was anxious to find the whereabouts of the key, so they didn't stay in Changning City, and went straight to where the ghost city is now. .

Jiang Su has been in a good mood recently. He is holding the Qingxiao sword, and the more he looks at it, the more he thinks that his daughter-in-law is really good-looking. Although he is on his way, he is also in a good mood, and even smiles a lot on his face.

Li Hanshan was in a very bad mood recently. Whenever he saw Jiang Su staring at Qing Xiaojian, he felt suffocated and panicked. Thinking that this was a gift from Bai Yusheng to Jiang Su, he felt even more uncomfortable.

It was only at this time that he began to think carefully. Jiang Su gave him the nameless sword, but he never gave Jiang Su any return gift. This was really his fault. He also wanted to see Jiang Su so happy.

After a day's journey, they finally arrived at the ghost market. There was an ordinary ferry, but the river surface of the ferry was full of mist all the year round, and there were reeds everywhere. get lost.

Ordinary people just cross this river and will never go into the depths of the mist, but the ghost city they are going to is in that mist.

There is a boatman waiting at the ferry port. If he doesn't show the token, he will only ferry people to the other side. Jiang Su is going to disguise himself as Lu Jiu and put on a mask and cloak from a distance to avoid his face being seen.

Most of the people who went to the ghost city concealed their faces. It was not surprising for him to dress like this. Li Hanshan also wore a mask like him. When he got to the ferry, the boatman glanced at them, and Jiang Su walked over deliberately with a limping foot, pretending to be his own. He stretched one leg and showed the token to the boatman. The boatman's expression changed, but for a moment, when he saw the Qingxiao sword on Jiang Su's waist, he smiled and said to Jiang Su, "Xiao Jiu, have you succeeded?"

Jiang Su was afraid that he would recognize the sound, so he just nodded.

"I heard them say you were caught." The boatman sighed, "I'm still a little worried."

He looked at Li Hanshan, waiting for Li Hanshan to show the token.

Li Hanshan took the Blood Shadow Token and just waved it in front of the boatman. The boatman seemed to recognize his identity in an instant, and even his smile was closed, and he bowed respectfully and carefully said: "Young master is here, but the leader Any orders?"

Li Hanshan replied casually, but his tone was cold, and said, "Go in and stroll."

Jiang Su: "..."

He seldom heard Li Hanshan speak in such a tone, but he saw the boatman's reaction... as if the young master of the demon sect should be like this.

The boatman did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly invited the two to board the boat. After leaving the ferry, he was going to the ghost market. Jiang Su stood firm on the boat and looked down at the dark water under the boat. step.

He can't swim, so stay away from this water.

He just thought about it, the boatman opened his mouth, Xiaoyu Li Hanshan said: "Young Master, when you enter the fog, you can no longer speak."

Li Hanshan asked back, "Why?"

"The owner has raised a strange fish underwater. If he hears a big movement, he will come out and bite." Said the boatman, "We are such a small boat, we can't stand a few tossing."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Su silently took a step back and helped Li Hanshan's hand.

Li Hanshan was startled, and asked Jiang Su in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Su was a little embarrassed: "...I can't swim."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Jiang Su added: "Things with scales... are a little disgusting."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Li Hanshan didn't expect Jiang Su to have something to fear.

He thought about it, he had never heard of this kind of thing from anyone else, so Bai Yusheng must have no way of knowing it, that is to say, Bai Yusheng lost to him in this matter.

In an instant, the cloud cleared in his heart, and the haze of the past few days was swept away. He even took the initiative to hold Jiang Su's hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you are so good at Qinggong—"

Before he finished speaking, the boat reached the undercurrent in the river, and the boat swayed suddenly, Jiang Su grabbed Li Hanshan's hand suddenly, as if he was taken aback, but Li Hanshan was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help reaching out and pressing He hugged Jiang Su's waist and helped him to stand firm. Then he lowered his voice and said to him, "Don't panic, this boat is so big that it can't fall down."

His heart was pounding, but it wasn't because the ship was rocking.

He seemed to have touched Jiang Su's waist for the first time.

Jiang Su closed his eyes and replied in a low voice: "The river is too wide and there is no place to stay. If it really falls into the water, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous."

Li Hanshan barely stabilized his mind and replied, "Don't panic, I can swim."

He said these words in his mouth, but he didn't dare to look into Jiang Su's eyes.

Then he saw it.

The boatman propped up the oars, but forgot to row, and just stared at them with wide-open eyes.

After a long while, he turned around in a hurry, rowed the boat vigorously, and said something in his mouth.

Li Hanshan frowned, and from his mouth, he could barely make out the words the boatman was muttering.

"What should I do, I still owe Lu Jiu money and haven't exchanged it, Lu Jiu... bah." The boatman paused for a moment, and began to repeat, "Young Master Madam, Young Master Madam, Young Master Madam, be more respectful, He turned out to be the young master's wife!"

Li Hanshan: "..."
