Chapter 1134 Insincere words

When people encounter unexpected situations, they always subconsciously make some unexpected actions, such as spitting out water in their mouths, which is a common operation.

Unfortunately, although Shang Luo's shocking words frightened Lu Hanjiang, he calmed down very quickly. The speed was so fast that he himself didn't even have time to react. Even if he wanted to pretend to be surprised, it seemed a little too late.

The most important thing is that the water he wanted to spit out had already been swallowed, so after a moment of thought, Lu Hanjiang immediately grabbed the cup and took another sip, but was dodged in advance by Shang Luo who had a sudden inspiration.

Lu Hanjiang wiped the water from the corner of his mouth: "Sorry, I didn't mean to--"

"Stop it, Xiao Lu! You definitely did that on purpose!"

Shang Luo glared at Lu Hanjiang fiercely. She caught a glimpse of the kettle on the table and immediately grabbed it and took a sip, preparing to retaliate.

"Okay, okay, you are childish or not."

Lu Hanjiang had no choice but to cover Shang Luo's mouth with his hands, causing her to puff up her face like a hamster and unable to spit out the water.

After swallowing the water helplessly, Shang Luo still looked angry. She definitely guessed that Lu Hanjiang deliberately didn't want to answer her question, so she used this childish method to prevaricate.

But in this case, escaping is also an answer. Shang Luo stared at Lu Hanjiang for a long time before saying, "It seems that Xiao Lu, you don't plan to kill me, so are you here to capture me?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. But the problem of this alliance between the noble families needs to be resolved."

As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang glanced at the people standing quietly around him like wooden sticks, and then said to Shang Luo, "It's about time to undo your trick. I'll have to trouble Lao Cui for the rest."

"That's fine."

Shang Luo curled her lips and muttered, "Coward."

After Cui Yixiao came back to his senses from the illusion, he sat there for a long time before coming to his senses. He felt like he had a dream, and this dream was extremely real. He seemed to have become an actor on the stage, indulging himself in this brothel.

After he looked around at the pale-faced brothers, he suddenly realized that this was probably not a dream, but a terrible reality.

At this moment, he immediately remembered that the emperor was also traveling with them, so Cui Yixiao didn't care about being embarrassed and hurried to look for someone, only to find that the emperor was chatting and laughing with the culprit.

Needless to say, let's just be embarrassed today. After all, it's a loss for everyone, so it's not just him who is embarrassed.

After calming down, Cui Yixiao went forward to pay his respects to the emperor, and also paid his respects to the bandit leader, Miss Shang Luo. His guess was absolutely correct. Even if the other party caused a terrible disaster, as long as the emperor did not pursue the matter, no one could do anything to her.

"grown ups."

Cui Yixiao shouted and then stood aside, ignoring everyone. He thought he had nothing to do with it, but unexpectedly the emperor handed him a note.

"The above is a list of those disobedient people in the aristocratic families. You go and do it." Lu Hanjiang said concisely.

Cui Yixiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the emperor had finished talking with Shang Luo so quickly. For a moment, he couldn't help but glance at the girl with suspicion. He always felt that this clever girl would not be so cooperative.

Unfortunately, Shang Luo glared back at him, and the leader of the Northern Pacification Office immediately slipped away.

"I am resigning."

After Cui Yixiao ran away, Shang Luo said unhappily: "Why, does he still think I will cheat you!" Lu Hanjiang said indifferently: "Don't mention Old Cui, I also doubt why you are so cooperative this time."

Shang Luo looked back with a grin: "Since you know I'm playing tricks on you, Xiao Lu, do you still dare to let him go?"

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him with a general and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. The Jinyiwei is not made of paper. Even if it is a trap, it can't trap Lao Cui."

Lu Hanjiang was obviously very confident in his family's control. He smiled and said, "I don't believe there is a third Netherworld Lamp, so no matter what tricks the family has left, they can't stop Lao Cui."

Shang Luo snorted twice but did not deny anything. She was very clear about the power comparison between the two families. To say that they were trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm was already flattering the aristocratic family. Under the Embroidered Spring Knife, those people would only end up with their heads and bodies separated even if they had lofty ambitions.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but ask curiously, "You seem to dislike that group of people, too. If that's the case, why don't you just take action and kill them?"

Shang Luo possesses a treasure of foul-level like the Netherworld Lamp. Not to mention the aristocratic family alliance, even if the Jinyiwei came to her house, she would only end up being treated as a pawn. Since she is unhappy with the aristocratic families, how could she endure it until now?

Hearing this, Shang Luo said nonchalantly: "Those people can't run away. I can deal with them anytime I want. This time I brought Miss Chen here just to fish. Who knew you would take the bait so easily?"

To be honest, Lu Hanjiang's appearance was somewhat beyond Shang Luo's expectations. As the emperor, and also the last trump card of the imperial power in her imagination, he actually ran to her so easily, which really seemed a bit embarrassing.

She had originally planned to start with Cui Yixiao, and then take care of all the Jinyiwei from top to bottom step by step, and finally wait for Lu Hanjiang to appear so that they could play a good game together.

But the other party did not follow the routine at all, and the noble family showed some clues, and Lu Hanjiang, the boss behind the scenes, appeared directly in Jiangnan.

Although the opponent's incredible martial arts were very convincing, Shang Luo still did not expect things to turn out like this.

"Why do you seem disappointed?"

When Lu Hanjiang turned around, he found that the surroundings were empty. All the other people in the brothel had been taken away by the awakened Jinyiwei. After all, Cui Yixiao never trusted Shang Luo, so it was reasonable for him to treat her so cautiously.

Shang Luo smiled slightly: "Of course I'm disappointed. I've waited for so many years in vain. Who do you think can live comfortably in such a day with no end in sight?"

Lu Hanjiang could hear a determination to die in Shang Luo's tone. He thought that the other party had already been prepared when they laid out the plan in Beijing six years ago. Who could have thought that due to fate, the other party would survive.

But for Shang Luo, it would have been better for her to die than to survive six years ago. After all, she is completely alone now.

"No one can see how I feel. I've had enough of this over the years."

Shang Luo sighed quietly, then looked at Lu Hanjiang: "Or do you want to say that you are an exception, Xiao Lu?"

Lu Hanjiang didn't say anything, or maybe he was about to say something, but their conversation was interrupted by a commotion outside.

Two Jinyiwei hurriedly came to Lu Hanjiang and said, "Sir, there are many people from the underworld outside. Please calm your Excellency down and let me protect you."

"A man from the underworld?" This made Lu Hanjiang puzzled. Ever since the massacre in the north, the entire underworld had been in a state of panic. How could there be someone who would take the initiative to run into the muzzle of a gun?

Cui Yixiao, who was blocked by a group of gangsters, was even more annoyed. He stared at Wang Zheng, the second in command of the East Factory, who was smiling but not smiling, and said in a cold voice: "Eunuch Wang, are you going to go against me?"

"You are joking, sir. We have no idea where these gangsters came from. Maybe they think your brothers are rich and want to extort money from them?"

Wang Zheng chuckled, then slowly faded his smile: "Sir, we are all doing work for the court. Now it is you, the Jinyiwei, who are not worthy of being used, and let this prisoner escape. Can you not allow us, the East Factory, to help make up for it? You should thank us."
