Chapter 279
"Speaking of which, when was the last time I chatted with Mr. Shang like this?"

In the dark dungeon, there is a small table, two small cups, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the bright chirping of cicadas seems to be heard outside the window. This kind of coziness actually feels a bit relaxed after a long time.

If it weren't for the jingling of the iron chain on his wrist, he would have thought it would be nice to just stay here.

"Brother Lu is still early."

After taking a sip of tea, Shang drank it in a few small sips, and sighed: "If it's half a month later, the peaches on Mount Hua should be in full bloom."

Although his right hand was chained and connected to the wall, his left hand could move freely. In this prison, it was considered preferential treatment.

"Maybe it's because of no chance. The dangerous peak of Huashan Mountain is also a wonder in the world, so this trip is worthwhile."

Sitting opposite Shang Jidao, Lu Hanjiang filled the other's cup with tea, and said indifferently: "Mr. Shang, is the tea still suitable for your appetite?"

Shang Jidao's face was a little pale, his injury was not healed yet, he just smiled slightly: "Brother Lu, please worry about it, it's just the nobleman's tea, I'm really not used to drinking it like people in the mountains and fields."

"In this case, why force yourself."

Lu Hanjiang drank the tea in his cup, stared for a while, and said: "That girl is doing well with me, I hired a little master to teach her martial arts, although she may not be able to cross the rivers and lakes, at least she has the power to protect herself. "

Upon hearing this, Shang Jidao smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Lu is bothered."

Lu Hanjiang shook his head: "Mr. Shang, since you have been invited back by me, but the girl is still alive, do you want to continue to hide it, sir? That's not the way to be friends."

Shang Jidao didn't panic, he said calmly: "Brother Lu, forgive me, it's really easy to say this lie, and when I open my mouth again, I can't tell what is true and what is false."

Although it was pretending to be free and easy, but the words were full of bitterness, Shang Jidao said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu, if you want to know anything, just ask."

Lu Hanjiang put down the empty cup, his eyes fell on Shang Jidao, and he said softly, "If my guess is right, the two children I took away from Mount Hua at first are your children, right?"

"Brother Lu is right," Shang Jidao no longer concealed it, he nodded slightly and said, "I deliberately created an illusion for the nobles above, and the people who Brother Lu wanted to grab me, so that you all thought that The two children are a cover, so that everyone can turn their attention to that 'Shang Luo'."

"Mr. Shang is very calculating."

Lu Hanjiang praised: "Using my hand to send the two children to the capital, not only keeps them away from the troubles in the Jianghu, but also avoids the attention of Jin Yiwei. It is a good way."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Brother Lu for taking care of them." Shang Jidao bowed with sincerity: "This bow is a thank you to Brother Lu, and it is also an apology to Brother Lu. People are in the world and cannot help themselves. "

"Mr. Shang is polite."

Lu Hanjiang gave him a little help, and then asked: "In this case, why did you mention 'Shang Luo' again—almost forgot to ask, does Mr. Shang know what that girl's real name is?"

Shang Jidao shook his head: "Since the child was delivered to me, I borrowed my daughter's name. It has been like this since I was a child. The name is just a code name. Brother Lu must be used to calling her 'Shang Luo'. Is it right."

"That's true."

Lu Hanjiang shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask: "Then, Mr. Shang, please tell me bluntly, why you entrusted that girl to Li Gui, and don't tell any more lies about old friends. Now there is only you and me in this dark place. I hope you will be honest with Mr.

".I only know that it has something to do with her."

After hesitating for a moment, Shang Jidao said: "She was the one who asked me to hand Shang Luo over to Li Gui. As for why, I don't know. It seems that Brother Lu has already guessed the real identity of the child."

At the end, Shang Jidao's tone seemed a little sad and silent.

"Since you brought Mr. Shang back with great fanfare, you naturally know everything you should know."

Lu Hanjiang picked up the teapot and shook it, poured one last cup for himself and Shang Jidao: "There is one last question, why did Mr. Shang help her?"

This question kept Shang Jidao silent for a long time before slowly saying: "For the sake of fame and fortune, the future of the Huashan School has long been bet on it by the predecessors. ?”

"Mr. Shang is a smart person. If he hadn't chosen the path he chose, how could he have walked on it without knowing why?"

Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face faded a little: "I have also met Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess a few times. If you talk about strength, she is indeed worth following. If you talk about scheming, she wants to pull Mr. Shang into the chariot. It doesn't seem impossible."

"In that case, brother Lu, what questions do you have?" Shang Jidao asked.

"I have all the scheming and energy, but what about the means?"

Lu Hanjiang looked at Shang Jidao calmly, and said: "If we only talk about the first two, I think I am not inferior to Her Highness the Crown Princess. Why does Mr. He just play tricks on me, but is willing to serve His Highness sincerely? The difference is probably in this method. , Mister, can you explain my doubts for me?"

Shang Jidao lowered his eyelids halfway, and his eyes fell on the tea in the cup. He did not answer Lu Hanjiang's question, but asked instead: "Brother Lu, do you know why the family of Jianghu Huangfu can be called an aristocratic family. "

Lu Hanjiang tapped his fingers on the table: "The tree is big and its roots are deep, and the power of a family lies in its foundation."

"Brother Lu is right. If that's the case, why is Huangfu's house like a castle in the air? After Huangfu Yushu rebelled into the magic way, it completely collapsed overnight. Since then, it has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and there is no news of it." Shang Jidao said goodbye. Have something to say.

Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Shang means that the things left by the Huangfu family were moved away in advance."

Shang Jidao raised his eyes and said: "His Royal Highness has an information network based on the Huangfu family and the cooperation of Xuantian Sect for decades, covering every corner of the world, and its ability is not much worse than that of Jinyiwei. "

Lu Hanjiang understood: "So that's the case, thank you Mr. Shang for telling me, but I don't know what this has to do with Mr.?"

Shang Ji said sternly: "Your Highness will know that I fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei in a short time, and I will definitely die by then."

"Sir, afraid of death?"

"Is there anyone in the world who is not afraid of death?"

After Shang Jidao asked a rhetorical question, he said with a wry smile: "Today I have fallen into a situation where I must die. Regardless of whether I say or not about the matter that Brother Lu wants to ask, I think the Crown Princess will not spare me in the future."

"If I were Your Highness, I would definitely not let you live."

Lu Hanjiang nodded seriously, and then said: "Since Mr. Shang knows it all, why bother with it, why don't you do a good deed before you die, so that I can give you a good time."

"This is what I asked Brother Lu for."

Shang Jidao sat upright, and said solemnly, "Brother Lu, please kill me slowly, and send me to the residence of His Royal Highness, and let her handle it personally. If you agree, I will know everything."

"Mr. Shang wants to guess His Highness's mind for the last time?" Lu Hanjiang seemed very interested.

"Exactly, I don't want to die." Shang Jidao said frankly.

Lu Hanjiang agreed without hesitation: "I promise you."

"Thank you."

Shang Jidao took a deep breath, and slowly tore off the clothes on his chest, only to see that there was a mass of purple-black marks on his heart veins, like drops of ink falling into the water, which were still there at this very moment. Spread out little by little.
