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

The surrounding area was too noisy, amidst the continuous bombardment of thunderbolts, Jiang Su didn't hear Li Hanshan's words at all.

He only listened to the general idea in a trance, then raised his voice and shouted at Li Hanshan: "Ah? For what? You want me to use you?"

He Lingcheng: "..."

Hua Shiqing: "..."

Li Hanshan also yelled back: "Isn't it easy to use me!"

Jiang Su couldn't help but think about Li Hanshan's martial arts. His injuries are almost healed. With his current martial arts, of course it is very useful. After all, Wu Qi's thunderbolt is a dead thing, so how could it be as good as Li Hanshan's? use it?

Jiang Su nodded, gave Li Hanshan a thumbs up, and praised seriously: "Of course you are useful! You are the best!"

Li Hanshan was satisfied.

He could hardly bear the smile on his face, triumphant, but he didn't know that the eyes of He Lingcheng and other three people looking at him were full of strangeness, but there was the sentence that He Lingcheng just said before, Hua Shiqing and old man Xue didn't know each other. If he dared to point out this matter, he could only suppress the thoughts in his mind, turned his head, and focused on watching Wu Qi blast the wall.

The stone wall couldn't stand such a dense and fierce firepower attack, and a small hole was blasted, enough for a few people to squeeze through, but the direction corresponding to the hole is not the ghost market, but more like a ghost market. It leads to the small courtyard behind the tall building where the owner of the ghost city lives.

It's just that there is no one in the small courtyard now, not even a guard can be seen, and the owner of the ghost city does not know where he went.

In fact, Jiang Su didn't necessarily want to kill the owner of the ghost city. Anyway, Hua Shiqing had already found him, and he wished to leave this extremely weird place earlier, but he didn't know the way to leave, and the boatman had already been killed by the monster in the river. After eating the fish, if he can't find a person who knows the way, he will never dare to enter the fog at will.

He could only try to find traces of the owner of the ghost city in the courtyard, or look for a person in the ghost city, but at this time the courtyard was quiet and extremely strange, and Jiang Su faintly felt that something was wrong. The city seems to be very quiet, just now they bombed the stone wall and made such a big commotion, didn't they notice it outside, and didn't feel strange at all?

And Hua Shiqing followed them, walked a few steps forward, and suddenly, as if remembering something, murmured: "They won't...have they left?"

It was only then that Jiang Su remembered that the ghost market is not a fixed place, it changes back and forth between several places, and most of the people in the ghost market are used to walking around with the ghost market. The city owner suddenly ordered that it is not impossible for all the people to evacuate in a short time, but if so, how would they leave here without someone to guide them?

Jiang Su didn't continue to delay in this courtyard, but bypassed the small courtyard, intending to go to the market to have a look.

Hua Shiqing's guess was correct, there was no one to be seen in the market, not only that, those stalls were hurriedly evacuated, and there were even a lot of things that were too late to take away.

And the surroundings were even more chaotic. It could be seen that these people were walking in a hurry. Even when looking towards the ferry at this moment, they could still see scattered lights, obviously they were people who hadn't had time to catch up with the boat.

It's just that even if some people haven't had time to leave, it's already too late for Jiang Su.

When he rushes to the ferry from here, I'm afraid that those people have already boarded the boat, and they will continue to make a living under the hands of the owner of the ghost market. There is no place in this world that can accommodate them except the ghost market. They had nowhere to go, and naturally they did not dare to offend the owner of the ghost city, so they would not easily tell Jiang Su and the others the way they left.

Jiang Su had a headache.

The rest of the people were silent, but they seemed to have prepared for the worst. Only He Lingcheng pulled the old man Xue and forced him to follow their paces, raising his eyebrows and asking: "Xue Ba, you used to be the bow of the boat. Bar?"

Old man Xue is still stubborn: "...I didn't!"

He Lingcheng raised his eyebrows: "When I entered the ghost market in the early years, it was clearly your boat."

"So what?" Old Man Xue scolded, "It's impossible for me to take you out!"

Jiang Su felt that he saw the hope of leaving this poor place earlier.

He simply stopped and asked the old man Xue curiously, "What mistake did you make to come to this ghost market?"

"What made a mistake? What did I do wrong!" Old man Xue persisted, "I like Ghost City so much, of course I came here because I was invited by the master—"

He Lingcheng interrupted him silently, and said: "He was drunk, and at the wedding banquet held by the head of the Ningshan School, he held a hen in his arms, and wanted to compare with that hen whose lightness kung fu is better."

Jiang Su: "..."

"Shut up!" Old man Xue yelled in horror, "I'm drunk! Isn't it inevitable to do strange things when drunk!"

He Lingcheng: "He still lost."

Old man Xue: "..."

Jiang Su: "..."

Jiang Su: "Pfft..."

Old man Xue silently covered his face and squatted into the corner of the wall.

Jiang Su originally thought that those who entered this ghost city were all heinous villains, who did all kinds of evil things, such as murder and arson, and were chased and killed by countless people outside, so they had no choice but to hide in the ghost city for refuge.

He really didn't expect that in the ghost city, there were people who hid in the ghost city because of the death of the society.

Jiang Su thought about it seriously, and began to persuade old man Xue.

"It's just losing to the chicken, it's not a shameful thing." Jiang Su coughed and said, "Don't you want to go back to the rivers and lakes to have a look?"

The old man Xue covered his face more tightly, feeling wronged, and muttered: "Once people see me, they will laugh at me."

"No one will laugh at you." Jiang Su said seriously, "You have been away from the world for so many years. When you go back, they will only feel that they haven't seen you for many years. Such embarrassing things are just jokes after dinner. Will take it to heart."

"You said it all!" Old man Xue was very persistent, "It's a joke!"

Jiang Su: "Who hasn't done anything stupid, I also—"

Jiang Su seriously thought about the embarrassing things he had done, and really couldn't think of anything that could be compared with the lightness of the chicken, so he had to turn his head and look at Li Hanshan, He Lingcheng and others, waiting for them to provide him with some ideas.

Li Hanshan couldn't think of any embarrassing things about him.

His childhood was almost tied to the sword. The only embarrassing thing he didn't want to recall was that he lied to Xie Zeli for stealing candy. He could only shake his head and look at He Lingcheng. He Lingcheng was also trying to remember, but he couldn't think of anything. After coming out, the two finally looked at Wu Qi together, and He Lingcheng suddenly thought of something, and said, "When he first came to my teaching, he couldn't use chopsticks, he could only eat with his hands."

Wu Qi: "..."

Old man Xue: "What kind of embarrassment is this!"

He Lingcheng: "Don't look at him tall and burly, he likes to keep cats!"

Old man Xue covered his face tightly, still resisting very much: "Who doesn't like cats."

"It's such a big deal to lose to a chicken!" He Lingcheng said without hesitation, "He lost to his cat before!"

Regardless, tigers and lions are both cats, and big cats are also cats!

Wu Qi: "..."

Old man Xue's eyes lit up now, and he raised his head to look at Wu Qi.

Jiang Su hurriedly said: "Look, he has done such stupid and embarrassing things, but he is still the left protector of the demon sect. So many people in the evil way admire him, and no one will ever speak ill of him."

Wu Qi: "..."

Wu Qi didn't open his mouth to explain, but walked to the front in a muffled voice, as if he wanted to go to the ferry to see if there were any free boats.

Seeing that old man Xue's attitude had changed for the better, Jiang Su hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said, "This river and lake is so big, don't you want to go out and have a look?"

Old man Xue: "..."

Old man Xue was silent for a long time, full of hesitation, but Hua Shiqing looked around, stepped forward cautiously, approached old man Xue, and whispered a few words to him.

What he said was similar to Jiang Su and the others, but he was trying to persuade old man Xue to forget the past, but with just a few simple words, old man Xue's expression slowly changed, his eyes were a little confused, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. After a while, he just took a step forward, but said in his mouth: "I know the way, but I can't help the fish in the river."

Jiang Su was not worried about the fish in the river.

With Wu Qi, an expert at bombing fish with thunderbolts, what kind of fish are they afraid of!

There is nothing wrong with the size of the strange fish, but he did not believe that the strange fish could hold the explosives in Wu Qi's hands.

A group of people arrived at the shore, but fortunately the owner of the ghost city evacuated in a hurry, and did not have time to sink all the small boats in the future, but as soon as they reached the shore, they saw the strange fish still in the mist swimming around the ferry , apparently the owner of the ghost city ordered them to come here, so as to prevent Jiang Su and others from leaving.

Jiang Su looked at the fish and felt panicked in his heart. He didn't dare to get too close to the shore, and the boat stopped on the shore. Wu Qi was worried that the thunderbolt would damage the boat, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally jumped onto the river with light work. With those fish, he jumped far away from the shore, and only then did he start his great career of frying fish.

Jiang Su sat on the bank and watched.

He felt that Wu Qi was worthy of being an expert at frying fish for many years, and Jiang Su was extremely impressed by this set of movements.

He saw splashes as high as several people exploded under the water surface, and the big fish splashed down like a ladle. A moment later, countless corpses of strange fish floated up under the water surface, their white bellies turned white, and Wu Qi even came back with a few heads. It seems that he doesn't dislike the fish's appearance at all, but he is really reluctant to see the strong and fat fish.

Jiang Su felt that he had completely changed his view of Wu Qi.

After Wu Qi cleaned up the fish on the shore, he turned back to the shore and threw the fish in his hand into the boat. Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, he reluctantly opened his mouth to explain: "Hey cat."

He Lingcheng: "...Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"

Wu Qi: "Waste."

He Lingcheng: "But if it's poisonous..."

Wu Qi: "Just boil it, it will be fine."

He Lingcheng: "..."

Jiang Su has silently launched another boat, refusing to ride with those strange fishes.

Li Hanshan naturally followed him. The old man Xue was going to row the boat, got on the bow, and turned his head, as if worried that Hua Shiqing would fall, so he reached out to help him. Jiang Su couldn't help frowning, feeling inexplicably... Xue The old man's behavior was a little weird.

He Lingcheng also gave Wu Qi the bamboo pole for the boat, and let him solve it by himself, and then climbed onto Jiang Su's boat, leaving Wu Qi standing alone in the middle of the strange fish's corpse, paddling aggrievedly. Boat.

But after a while, Wu Qi felt happy.

He is the only one on this boat, doesn't that mean he can still bring a few more fish back?

While rowing the boat, he picked up the corpse of the strange fish. He was in a happy mood, and he didn't care about the eyes of the other people. Old man Xue was shocked by his actions, thinking that such a person could become the Demon Sect Zuo Guardian respected by everyone. , then what is it if he competes with chickens in lightness kung fu?

He couldn't help rowing the boat more briskly, and within a short time, everyone had left the fog and came to the river outside.

Hua Shiqing carefully lowered his cloak to cover his face, but he couldn't help looking around curiously. It happened that the sun was rising in the east. He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and he couldn't open his eyes. He was wearing a mask and didn't dare to show his face , Even his fingertips had to be carefully hidden under the cloak, but he couldn't help staring at Chu Yang carefully. Seeing Jiang Su looking back, he couldn't help but smiled with Jiang Su and said, "Thank you."

After saying this, he thought of Jiang Su's smile when he couldn't see him, and Jiang Su had turned his head, stood on the bow of the boat with his sword in his arms, and waved his hand as a response.

Hua Shiqing looked at his back, as if he saw the knights in the legendary stories he had heard since childhood——

How could he have forgotten that Jiang Su was originally a famous knight.

The boat docked, and everyone disembarked. He Lingcheng raised his hand to bid farewell to Jiang Su and Li Hanshan. Just now he bowed his hand, but suddenly remembered something again.

Wait, he came to the ghost market... what is he doing here?

He Lingcheng: "..."

It's over.

He never asked the owner of the ghost city about the whereabouts of the antidote, and he offended the owner of the ghost city completely, and the enmity he forged could even be regarded as irreconcilable, the owner of the ghost city might not be willing in the next life Speak to the people of their holy religion.

He Lingcheng had a headache.

He watched Jiang Su and others leave, then turned his head and looked at Wu Qi.

"What happened in the ghost city." He Lingcheng looked serious, almost threatening, "You know I know the young master, you must never tell the leader, understand!"

Wu Qi was immersed in the joy of the harvest, no matter what He Lingcheng said, he just nodded happily.

Ah, the Central Plains, there are lakes and rivers, a good place.

Such a big fish, how nice!

…

Hua Shiqing was not very good at riding a horse, and he couldn't see the sun, and if the wind lifted his cloak while riding, Jiang Su was worried that his strange disease would recur on the spot.

When they returned to the nearby town, Jiang Su hired a carriage, and the speed of going back was a bit slower. When he was outside Changning City, before he had time to go to Linlang Pavilion, he saw Fang Yuanluo waiting anxiously at the gate of the city. Seeing the two of them When the person came back, he was relieved.

Everyone in Jianghu knows that the ghost market is dangerous. Jiang Su and Li Hanshan are only two people. He was always worried that the two of them would be bullied by the people in the ghost market. Now that they are safe, it seems that they have brought someone back, so he relaxes. In a low tone, he followed Jiang Su on horseback and asked, "Have you got the key?"

Jiang Su nodded, and said: "I can't tell the truth from the fake, maybe I need to ask Master Bai to inspect the goods."

Hua Shiqing heard Jiang Su and the others talking in the carriage, carefully opened a small gap in the curtain of the carriage, and said to Jiang Su: "The key should be real."

According to him, the short and fat man is a stand-in for the owner of the ghost market. In the past, all kinds of commissions received in the ghost market had to be reviewed by the owner of the ghost market. However, in recent years, the owner of the ghost market has become a bit lazy. The fat man became selfish, at least he didn't tell the owner of the ghost market about the key to the sky.

He took the job secretly by himself and handed it over to Lu Jiu. He originally wanted to send people to investigate the person who entrusted him, but all the people he sent were thrown away. He already knew that it was dangerous, but he gave so much money , he really couldn't resist the temptation.

"The owner of the ghost city doesn't want to take care of things anymore?" Jiang Su was a little puzzled, "Then what has he been doing all these years?"

Hua Shiqing: "..."

He was silent for a moment, put down the car curtain, and seemed unwilling to mention this topic, Jiang Su realized that he had said something wrong.

Isn't this some literature? If the people inside are interested in something, it goes without saying that they all know what it is.

Jiang Su was a little embarrassed, so he just smiled and said, "You will see Lu Jiu soon."

Speaking of Lu Jiu, Fang Yuanluo couldn't help but said, "That kid surnamed Lu has made Young Master Bai very angry these few days."

Jiang Su was taken aback: "What is he angry at Bai Yusheng for?"

"He said that the guards of Linlang Pavilion are useless, and it's too embarrassing for the Bai family to come up with such a thing." Fang Yuanluo said, "Young Master Bai is not convinced, and you have to argue with him. It's only been a few days, and Young Master Bai even has a bellyband He stole them all."

Jiang Su was stunned: "...Huh? He still wears a bellyband?"

Li Hanshan was paying attention to another thing.

"Lu Jiu's leg is healed?" Li Hanshan was very puzzled, "Didn't he even have broken bones?"

"It's not good." Fang Yuanluo sighed, "So Young Master Bai has been so angry these days, you have to be careful when talking to him later, it's like he's taken gunpowder, he'll ignite at the slightest touch."

Jiang Su: "..."

He didn't expect that he had only been away for a few days, and Lu Jiu had already gotten along so well in Linlang Pavilion. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but ask Fang Yuanluo, "How are you and Doctor Fu recently...how are you doing? "

As soon as Fu Wenxiao was mentioned, Fang Yuanluo immediately made a bitter face, and said, "Master Fu is angry when he sees me recently."

Jiang Su was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Fang Yuanluo scratched his head vigorously, very distressed, and said: "His name is really difficult to write! What are his parents thinking, why is every word so difficult!"

Jiang Su: "..."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuanluo seemed to be full of bitterness. He turned his head and took out a piece of paper from his arms. Obviously, after these days and nights, he stuffed the paper into Jiang Su's hand and gestured to Jiang Su Look.

"You can see that what I wrote is not much different." Fang Yuanluo said aggrievedly, "But Master Fu is very angry."

Jiang Su looked at the paper in silence.

On the top is Fu Wenxiao's handwriting, and the three words Fu Wenxiao were written neatly and stroke by stroke. He didn't even dare to have a pen, for fear that Fang Yuanluo wouldn't understand.

And what's underneath is Fang Yuanluo's crooked handwriting.

"Fu Wenxiao"

"One more night"

Jiang Su was silent.

What is this written about!

Not to mention Fu Wenxiao, if he saw this, he would be angry too.

He could only return the note to Fang Yuanluo, sighed deeply, and said, "Doctor Fu is also for your own good."

"Isn't it just three words? I didn't miss it." Fang Yuanluo scratched his head, very puzzled, "I've never seen him so angry before."

After a few conversations, Hua Shiqing felt that he seemed to have guessed the cause and effect, and he saw that Jiang Su and Fang Yuanluo were obviously not good at dealing with emotional matters, so he carefully opened the curtain of the car,

He took the initiative to say: "These three words must be extremely important to him."

Fang Yuanluo nodded: "The name is important..."

Hua Shiqing: "He hopes that these three words are also very important in your heart."

Fang Yuanluo: "..."

Fang Yuanluo and Jiang Su suddenly had an epiphany.

It turned out to be such a thing!

Fang Yuanluo's hands were trembling. Looking left and right, he took out another charcoal pencil from his pocket, and without hesitation, he leaned on the horse's back to practice calligraphy. This posture was strange and dangerous. Jiang Su frowned and didn't know how to persuade him, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he turned his head, looked at Hua Shiqing, thought for a while, and then asked: "You and Lu Jiu..."

Hua Shiqing was slightly taken aback, lowered his head slightly, his tone seemed a little nervous, and said in a low voice, "Maybe it's not what Jiang Shaoxia thinks."

Jiang Su frowned, feeling that Hua Shiqing was a little strange.

"Jiang Shaoxia, I'm not a good person, and I'm also someone who can't gain a foothold in the world." Hua Shiqing said softly, "There will be no good people in the ghost market."

Linlang Pavilion was right in front of him, but Hua Shiqing didn't seem to be excited or worried at all.

Jiang Su can remember that in order to persuade Hua Shiqing to leave the ghost market, so as to give himself a chance to match Hua Shiqing and Lu Jiu, he exaggerated Lu Jiu's injury, making it seem like Lu Jiu was dying, He and Lu Jiu are in love with each other... Isn't he worried about Lu Jiu?

Not the same as what he thought? What's the difference?

Jiang Su asked: "Aren't you worried about Lu Jiu?"

Hua Shiqing was silent for a moment, could only shake his head, and said, "Jiang Shaoxia, I may not be the kind of person you think."

Jiang Su: "..."

"You don't need to ask too much, you'll know when we meet later." Hua Shiqing said in a low voice, "But... don't worry, I never thought of harming you."

Jiang Su had a faint sense of foreboding.

I don't know why, but with the fact that Xie Zeli and Lou Yan were in vain last time, Jiang Su always felt that... this time, he might not go too well.

…

Linlang Pavilion was already in front of him. Hearing that they had entered the city, Bai Yusheng went out with Fu Wenxiao to greet them. Even Lu Jiu was dragged by him on crutches, and he barely stood by the door. He couldn't help muttering, "Why should I come to pick up the enemy who broke my leg?"

Jiang Su glanced at him, Lu Jiu shrank his neck, and was about to hide aside, when Jiang Su turned around and opened the curtain, and helped Hua Shiqing get out of the carriage.

Hua Shiqing wore a cloak to cover his face, but Lu Jiu could tell who it was with just one glance.

He opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, and Hua Shiqing also raised his eyes, looking at Lu Jiu.

This scene is simply a drama where the miserable little lovers finally meet. Jiang Su just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak to explain, when he suddenly saw the familiar red edge value system prompt jump out.

It's just that the reminder this time is different from what he has seen before.

"Warning, due to the strange behavior of the host, a pair of lovers who were supposed to be in the plot have been successfully broken up. The compatibility of love: **** Gong imprisoned, sadomasochistic love."

"The owner of the ghost city, ranked fifty-two in Jianghu, Hua Shiqing, ranked No in Jianghu."

"The system will punish this behavior, the red edge value is -10, and the current red edge value is 0"

Jiang Su: "..."

Can he reduce this thing? ? ?

He was dumbfounded, and in the blink of an eye, Hua Shiqing quickly approached Lu Jiu, raised his hand to grab Lu Jiu's hand, and almost pressed his face to the side of Lu Jiu's face, and he was about to kiss her—

Hua Shiqing took another step back.

A bug crawled off Lu Jiu's wrist, and suddenly jumped into Hua Shiqing's sleeve, and Hua Shiqing looked at Lu Jiu guiltily, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to get hurt. "

Lu Jiu looked confused and rubbed his head.

"This...I..." Lu Jiu took a few steps back suddenly, distanced himself from Hua Shiqing, even shook off Hua Shiqing's hand, and said, "You...what are you doing so close to me!"

He patted himself on the head violently again, wanting to throw out the strange thoughts that had just appeared in his head, and said with horror on his face, "What happened to me just now...why do I think of him so much..."

Jiang Su: "..."

What the **** is going on! !

Stop playing! angry! Throwing a sword... Forget it, my wife can't throw it.

Jiang Su silently held his sword tightly.

In this world full of deceit and disappointment, only his sword can bring him the long-lost warmth.

Woohoo.
