Sword Net Three Strategies Hidden One Thought Becomes Calamity

"Your..."

There was a trembling of the eyelashes, and the sound was almost too low to be heard, and immediately disappeared in the chilly air.The light flickered slightly, and the faint warm orange did not know when to burn out another drop of candle tears, which slipped down silently and solidified.

When he gradually regained his sanity from the dream of the blood-devouring Gu, he did not know how many days had passed since he returned to the Valley of the Wicked.Shen Xiao frowned, struggling to move his fingers, his strength seemed to be regained, but the process of opening his eyes was still quite difficult, and the blurred vision slowly became clear.

"you're awake."

It wasn't Ye Junqian's voice.Shen Xiao became more sober, and tried to turn his head to follow the source of the sound - Lu Jie was standing at the door holding the medicine.

"It was you... who saved me?" Shen Xiao's voice became hoarse for a long time without opening his mouth.

Lu Jie shook his head, temporarily placed the medicine bowl on the table, stepped forward to help Shen Xiao sit up, and explained, "It's your young master. I'm just here to run errands."

The wound on his back obviously hasn't healed yet, and because of being eroded by Gu poison, Shen Xiao's every move is extremely difficult now, even with Lu Jie's help, every little move will bring out the severe pain that penetrates into the bones.Just the act of sitting up almost exhausted all of Shen Xiao's strength.

"Huh..." Shen Xiao gasped for breath, trying to ease the pain on her body, and finally relaxed her brows. Shen Xiao glanced at Lu Jie, and said in a low voice, "Where is Junqian...?"

"He went back. Half a day ago."

In the early morning of the fifth day after Lu Jie arrived at Changlefang, Ye Junqian wrapped the ground ointment and the medicinal materials for decoction and left them on the table, with a note saying, "Thank you for your help." Then he disappeared.

The reason may be what Lu Jie asked him that night.After asking him if he wanted to kill Xiang Jing.Logically speaking, he should not be the one to ask this question, perhaps it would be more appropriate for Shen Xiao to ask him in person.

"Come to the Valley of the Wicked?"

When Ye Junqian heard this question, he neither showed surprise nor anger, but just looked down at Shen Xiao who had passed out, the emotion contained in those eyes was sadness.

Maybe Ye Junqian's departure is the answer.Lu Jie didn't tell Shen Xiao these things.As for Shen Xiao, when he heard Lu Jie's words, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. He just accepted it calmly, as if he had already known the result. He didn't say anything, but just silently finished drinking the bowl of medicinal soup.

Lu Jie has been leaning against the door with his chest folded and his eyes closed. In the evening, he opened his eyes and looked out the window. The wind and snow had just stopped.The yellowish sky reflected a splendor of changing shades on the snow, which was quite a pleasing sight.

Shen Xiao who was in the room suddenly turned his head and called himself, "Lu Jie."

"Ok?"

"Can you tell me why you want the reverse view?"

Shen Xiao was looking at him seriously.Lu Jie saw Shen Xiao's expression, and a bright light flashed in his strange pupils.

"Then, let's start from the beginning." Lu Jie closed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and the smile that had disappeared for many days reappeared on his face. "As you can see, I am from the Western Regions."

Lu Jie subconsciously raised his head and glanced towards the northwest, as if recalling his distant hometown, his tone became gentler than before, even though he said it slowly, it didn't sound like a very warm memory.

"Our family is a killer for a living. The people inside adopt orphans who were abandoned in the desert, and then raise them as killers. We hunt and kill the targets on the bounty list, and use the bounty to feed the children. But one day , Xiang Jing followed the rumors and asked us if we want to go with him."

"and then?"

"We refused. The adults thought it was not a good idea, so they disguised the underage teenagers from the clan and mixed them into a caravan, and sent us away first to avoid being found by Xiang Jing. It's just that the caravan was intercepted by horse thieves Kill. We tried to protect the caravan, but those horse thieves knew our weakness, and as a result, the older ones died, and the younger ones were taken away without a trace."

Hearing this, Shen Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, and his intuition urged him to interrupt Lu Jie's memories, and asked, "Is there a boy named Musor in that caravan?"

Lu Jie's nod made Shen Xiao affirm the thoughts in his heart, and then Lu Jie reached out and pulled down the copper bell hanging from his waist.A crisp sound beat in my ears, breaking the silence.Lu Jie continued: "I confirmed it when I fought against him in Haoqi League a year ago. Ye Junqian was one of the children who were in the team back then."

Lu Jie was calm as if he was telling someone else's story. "I escaped and walked in the desert for two days. When I was dying, Xiang Jing brought me back to the Valley of the Evil."

"At that time, there was a disciple of Wanhua who followed Xiangjing, and Xiangjing liked him. But after Xiangjing took over the position of commander, the villains suffered strange defeats one after another. One day I accidentally discovered which Wanhua's real identity was Haoqi The traitor, I killed him."

"Xiang Jing... did she do anything to you afterwards?"

Lu Jie chuckled lightly, turned his back to Shen Xiao, tilted his head and brushed up his hair that was hanging down——near the shoulder and neck, Shen Xiao could clearly see a palm-sized brand mark, the villain's hands Ax pattern.

Shen Xiao knew that he also had the same bloody pattern on his back.

"You..." Shen Xiao seemed to have imagined what happened later.

Lu Jie recalled the days when he was also locked in that dark cell.After enduring bursts of severe pain from burning skin, he was in a daze for a while, and Xiang Jing pushed open the door to bring in the skylight outside.

"Want to take revenge?" Xiang Jing asked.

"I haven't thought about it." Lu Jie replied casually.

"Why not?" Xiang Jing asked again.

But Lu Jie just raised his head, revealed a mysterious smile, and asked Xiang Jing in a low voice, "Didn't you never think about avenging that Wanhua?"

Lu Jie remembered that something might have changed in his heart at that time, and Lu Jie also knew that it was the first time he showed such an expression to others, and since then Lu Jie often had that smile on his face.

As a result, after so many years, he has seen many interesting things with such a smile, such as Xiang Jing and Jiang Chuan's private communication and mutual calculations, so that the noble villain has been able to maintain the balance all the time, in fact, it is based on the sacrifice of each other on both sides On the basis of interests; for example, Xiang Jing drove his opponents crazy one by one, and wiped out those who might pose a threat to him; After reaching the point of no return, Xiang Jing calmly made them realize one thing - except here, apart from being used as a pawn, there is no other way to survive, no other place to go.

Lu Jie didn't feel any pity for those who sacrificed their lives for Xiang Jing. In Lu Jie's eyes, those people just handed over the control of their own destiny to others.But Lu Jie didn't want to become a string puppet at the mercy of Ren Xiangjing.

Ye Chuyun and Qu Xi have successively found such like-minded people, while wearing a docile mask to develop their power to the present.Lu Jie only waited for someone who could lead them to fight back, until the battle at Feisha Pass, when Lu Jie met Shen Xiao.

The moment they fought, Lu Jie was convinced that Shen Xiao and himself were on the same side, not just on the same side, and that Shen Xiao would definitely be the one to lead them and free the Valley of the Wicked from the shadow cast by Xiang Jing.

There is another gain - Lu Jie thought of this, turned over the armguard, and glanced at a short arrow hidden underneath.

At night, Shen Xiao lay on his back on the bed, staring at the roof with his eyes open, recalling what Lu Jie had said in the evening.The rare distraction at this moment made the poison in the body less rampant.

Lu Jie said that he knew a lot of inside stories, Xiang Jing's methods of manipulating others and discarding chess pieces, the former Cang Yun Fengling and Qixiu Su Liyue were living examples, but Shen Xiao looked back and thought, why is his master Jiang Chuan not Like Xiang Jing, Pei Guiqing was sent to the wicked for the false balance, and Luo Baihong, who was once rumored to be dead, might be the same.

Shen Xiao once thought about breaking this so-called "balance", and Gu Lin came to him, but all the results he and Gu Lin had achieved along the way were inexplicably erased.The difference between master and apprentice became more and more distant, until he became a threat in Jiang Chuan's eyes, and Jiang Chuan would rather help Su Liyue get rid of him.Even now that he walked into the Valley of the Wicked, Jiang Chuan didn't intend to let him go.

In the end, he and Lu Jie were in the same situation. Lu Jie was resisting Xiang Jing, and he was resisting Jiang Chuan.

The only difference was that Shen Xiao was still standing beside Ye Junqian who couldn't let go of himself and was involved innocently.

Xiang Jing once said that he would fight Ye Junqian, but this time Ye Junqian came to rescue him and broke Xiang Jing's long sword, almost showing his sharpness, Xiang Jing would never let it go.If Jiang Chuan knew that Ye Junqian actually cared about him, he would definitely not give Ye Junqian extra protection.If he doesn't do anything again, Shen Xiao is afraid that Ye Junqian will become the next victim.

When the bright yellow figure appeared in his mind, Shen Xiao frowned, and a sudden pain rushed to his chest.Shen Xiao reached out and pulled into his collar, endured silently for a while, and finally suppressed the pain.

Blood-phagocytic Gu.

He heard a bit of the conversation between Xiang Jing and Xiao Yao'er, saying that people who have been infected by the blood-devouring Gu will surely die. Shen Xiao doesn't know how long he can live. He didn't even have time to rescue Pei Guiqing. He couldn't even protect Ye Junqian.Thinking of this, unwilling to give birth to anger and turned to his heart, the poison that had just been suppressed seemed to be awakened, biting every corner of the body non-stop.

damn...

"Are you okay?"

Shen Xiao, who was concentrating on struggling with the poison, didn't notice Lu Jie's approach. Hearing Lu Jie's voice, Shen Xiao came back to his senses and said, "It's okay."

Seeing that Shen Xiao's expression was not quite right, Lu Jie thought it was the attack of the blood-devouring Gu, so he stretched out his hand to hit the two acupoints on Shen Xiao's chest, "Pei Guiqing told you not to think about it. The blood-devouring Gu will eat away at you when you are angry. blood."

"I see. Thanks."

You can't be so cowardly and do nothing like this little Gu worm bowing his head to die.Shen Xiao took a long breath, closed his eyes to clear his mind, and tried to fall asleep.Lu Jie saw that the night was getting dark outside the window, so he extinguished the candle, leaned against the door and closed his eyes to rest.

Shen Xiao's injury improved quickly, he was able to eat some pasta on the second day, and recovered a little mobility on the third day.By the seventh day, most of his strength had returned, and Lu Jie couldn't help feeling that Pei Guiqing was worthy of being a famous doctor of a generation, and Shen Xiao was also surprisingly strong.

Following Shen Xiao's recovery, the frontline spies sent news, confirming that Xiang Jing had indeed gone down the road, and Ye Junqian returned to the Haoqi Army to attack Xiang Jing's people with Jiang Chuan.The villain retreated to Rongtian Ridge, and after Haoqi stood firm in Heilongmao, Ye Junqian returned to Wolongpo on the middle road.

They didn't delay, so they packed their bags and planned to leave Changle Square on the eighth day. After all, there was a Hongmen Banquet waiting for him at Riyue Cliff on the middle road——

Shen Xiao put on his armor and a cloak to keep out the cold, and when he rode his horse to leave, Lu Jie who was beside him suddenly heard him calling himself.Lu Jie turned his head, the rising sun in the early morning imprinted a scorching brilliance in Shen Xiao's eyes, Shen Xiao looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his hand.

"Please join hands with me."

nice expression.

Lu Jie responded with a smile, and also reached out to catch Shen Xiao, holding hands together.
