Chapter 430: When in doubt, just draw your sword.
At the beginning, the scent bag was secretly untied, and the silk belt was light.
The prostitutes in the red-light district are generally considered to be heartless women who use their laughter and fake faces to earn money.
Little do people know that the girls in brothels have their own tenderness and melancholy.
Forsythia is very famous because of its relationship with Liu Baishi.
This fame is almost overshadowed, and he also has his name on the top list.
But only a few people have actually seen him, so even if Lian Qiao stood in the crowd, no one would recognize him and would just look at him a few more times.
Or if someone takes a fancy to someone, they might exclaim, "What a handsome little swordsman."
But there were also contemptuous looks, thinking that Lian Qiao was holding an extremely ordinary sword, with even the scabbard being rusted.
If the philtrum is slightly uneven, there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
But Lian Qiao didn't care about these at all.
Just like now, when Lian Qiao found the subordinates of Bai Shun, the person in charge of this flower street, and blew up his own house, the people who heard Lian Qiao's words looked Lian Qiao up and down.
The look in his eyes almost asked directly, "You are the only one that Miss Liu Baishi likes?"
Lian Qiao looked at the people in front of him.
From his perspective, these men all had dead bodies on their hands, and each of them had calluses on their right hands, obviously people who often handled knives.
And judging from their aura, they are either retired soldiers or people who have retired from the underworld and are here to work.
But Lian Qiao doesn't care about that.
After he arrived at Huajie, he went to Shihua Pavilion first, handed the things he wanted to give to Liu Baishi to the maid of Shihua Pavilion, and asked her to help pass it on, and then he came here.
After all, he knew that he had just caused a misunderstanding and Liu Baishi was not a gang leader or something like that, so there was no need to look for Liu Baishi first.
Lian Qiao was actually secretly happy about this matter.
It’s not that he doesn’t like Liu Baishi doing these things.
He can do whatever the girl he likes wants.
only
He didn't want the girl he liked to do anything dangerous.
"Master Lian, my boss wants you to come over."
After a while, at the door of a small building at the innermost end of this flower street, a man came out, clasped his fists towards Lian Qiao, and made a gesture of invitation.
Lian Qiao thanked him and followed him in.
The strongest person in this small building is also of the seventh rank, and there are as many as nine of them. If Lian Qiao is not mistaken, three of them are swordsmen.
The man who led the way was also of the seventh rank, and was also a horizontal practitioner!
The interior of the small building is simply decorated and looks no different from an ordinary home.
only.
I don't know if they heard that Lian Qiao, the "lucky guy" rumored in the streets, had arrived, so when Lian Qiao followed the man into the small building, many people ran out.
There are both men and women, but regardless of gender, they all have a strong sense of the underworld.
It’s just that these people came to see what the person Liu Baishi liked looked like, but more importantly, they came to see the talented swordsman from Tianzhi Pavilion who was able to make it to the top of the mountain list.
Geniuses in the martial arts world are divided into different ranks, but Lian Qiao undoubtedly belongs to the first rank. At such a young age, he is already a seventh rank, and is about to open the door to the eighth rank, which is far superior to his peers.
and
All the eyes in the building were staring at Lian Qiao, creating a sense of oppression.
Especially the look he gave Lian Qiao was very unfriendly!
The man who led Lian Qiao saw so many people running out, each of them looked ferocious, and said to Lian Qiao with a smile: "How long have you been with Miss Bai Shi, Mr. Lian?"
When Lian Qiao heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
The man leading the way explained, "I'm just curious."
Lian Qiao thought for a moment and said, "How long?"
Hearing this, the man leading the way laughed dryly.
When the people around heard this, their expressions became even more ferocious. Damn it, how long have you been talking about this? Are you showing off? Are you showing off that Miss White Lion chose you?
The man who led the way looked at the expressions of the people around him and said, "Master Lian, you don't know that Miss Baishi is actually dating a guy. After we found out about this, we actually wanted to kill that guy, especially since Miss Baishi didn't even deny it and nodded to indicate that it was true. She even went to spend the Lantern Festival with you and cancelled the performance. Master Lian, do you know how upset we are for those of us who were looking forward to Miss Baishi's performance?"
Lian Qiao blinked and looked at the man who led the way, because when the man said this, although he was smiling, he tried his best to suppress his emotions in his words, and there were even veins bulging on his forehead.
Lian Qiao shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know."
When some people around, including this man, heard this answer, they all clenched their fists.
The man who led the way smiled and looked at Lian Qiao: "Although I don't know why Miss Bai Shi chose you, but... Lord Lian, I have the guts to ask you, you and Miss Bai Shi have never done anything, just holding hands or something like that."
Hearing this, Lian Qiao looked around. He could sense that the atmosphere was a little off, but after thinking for a moment he said, "Hold my hand."
Wow!
The faces of the people around changed.
The 7th rank warrior who led the way gritted his teeth and said, "Is it in Shangyuan?"
Lian Qiao shook her head: "That's not the case. During the Lantern Festival, people hold each other's arms and feed each other something."
The 7th Rank Horizontal Training Warrior asked, "Did Miss White Lion feed you?"
Lian Qiao nodded.
Snap!
The sound of joints when clenching fists can be heard.
Many people looked at Lian Qiao with impulse in their eyes, as if they wanted to kill Lian Qiao right now.
Okay, okay, Miss White Lion will feed you, silly boy!
We are all drinking here to relieve our sorrow during the Lantern Festival because we couldn't see Miss White Lion!
But when they thought about this, everyone thought of Liu Baishi's gentle appearance feeding the boy in front of them.
Each and every one of their eyes was filled with undisguised jealousy and envy.
Even if Lian Qiao is no longer good at observing people's words and expressions, after being in the Dali Temple for so long, he has only learned a little bit, but that's all.
However, he could feel that this was related to Miss Liu feeding him food.
Not to mention the others, just the man who was leading the way in front of him was even more nervous, so after thinking for a while he said: "This big brother, in fact, is just like that, nothing special"
This is a bit against my will.
Because that day when Liu Baishi fed Lianqiao, Lianqiao's face turned as red as a monkey's butt!
but
Lian Qiao thought this was a consolation.
But when the people around heard it, they all gasped.
Damn it! It's nothing! You dare to say that!
Suddenly, the murderous aura became even stronger!
However, the martial artist walking in front of him clenched his fist, turned back to look at Lian Qiao with a smile and asked, "Did Miss Baishi have a good time on the Lantern Festival?"
When Lian Qiao heard this, she recalled what Liu Baishi said to her when they were watching the fireworks that day, "Lian Qiao, you are the first man to spend the Lantern Festival with me."
Lian Qiao didn't understand the meaning of the words, so she just said "oh".
Liu Baishi asked, "In this atmosphere, why don't you tell me something?"
Lian Qiao still didn't understand, but seeing more and more people around him, he thought carefully and said, "Come closer to me, be careful that your wallet will be stolen."
While speaking, Lian Qiao pulled Liu Baishi towards herself, without any other intention.
Liu Baishi laughed, and then said, "Who is like you? You can lose your purse twice!"
Lian Qiao said, "I won't lose it anymore. My sister sewed the purse inside my clothes for me."
Liu Baishi laughed again.
Lian Qiao was stunned when she saw Liu Baishi laughing.
The fireworks were beautiful, the iron flowers were beautiful, and the lanterns in the sky over the river were also beautiful.
But
In Lian Qiao's eyes, the most beautiful thing is Miss Liu's smile.
Lian Qiao was standing under the fireworks at that time, and her face turned red when she saw Miss Liu.
Now thinking about it, Lian Qiao no longer blushed, but said with a silly smile: "Well, after all, he smiled at me many times, so he should be happy."
As soon as the words fell.
It was as if the sound of a heart being completely broken was heard, and it wasn't just one or two sounds.
Really? The White Lion girl was very happy and smiled at you many times.
And looking at the boy's expression, it's obvious that there's a story behind it.
Hmm~~
I'm so envious~~~
Almost everyone has the same thought when looking at Forsythia.
I was even thinking, this silly boy, how much virtue he must have accumulated in his previous life!
The seventh-rank horizontal training warrior looked at Lian Qiao, sighed, and opened the sliding door in front of him.
The first thing that caught Lian Qiao's eyes was two strong men wrestling with their upper bodies naked in the lobby.
Many people around were shouting in this huge lobby.
but.
As the door opened.
Everyone looked towards the door.
Even the two people who were wrestling stopped.
And everyone's eyes were on Lian Qiao.
"Brother." The seventh-rank horizontal training warrior cupped his fists toward the man who was only of the third-rank strength and was sitting at the top.
Lian Qiao noticed that everyone in the hall, like the people outside, had murderous aura and had obviously killed people. And sitting in the front was a rough man with a beard, wearing a coarse linen shirt and a patch over one eye. In terms of murderous aura, this man had the most.
Seeing Lian Qiao, the man stood up and clasped his fists: "Bai Shun, greetings to Lord Lian."
Although as Li Jiulang's confidant, he doesn't need to care about some minor officials, but he still needs to understand the rules, otherwise he would not have become Li Jiulang's confidant.
Lian Qiao clasps her fists.
At this time, the two wrestling people had dispersed.
The people around also quieted down.
Bai Shun was a straightforward person. He didn't bother with those flowery polite words and went straight to the point: "Master Lian, are you here for Tao Zhuo?"
While speaking, Bai Shun stood up and walked towards Lian Qiao with two bowls of wine.
Lian Qiao looked at Bai Shun: "Yes."
Bai Shun helped Lian Qiao pour the wine. "That man broke the rules. He planned to run away with the girl if he didn't redeem her, so he was arrested. He is fine, you can rest assured. But the rules are the rules, and they cannot be broken, otherwise you will not be able to manage things in the future. Since you came to me directly, you must have received instructions from that person, so I will naturally not make it difficult. You can take him away, but you must follow the rules."
As he spoke, Bai Shun picked up the wine bowl and looked at Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao took the wine.
The person mentioned here is Lord Li, and Lian Qiao is already clear about this.
After drinking it all together with Bai Shun in front of him, Bai Shun looked at Lian Qiao and said, "Pull it up!"
Just as Bai Shun finished yelling.
I saw the floor on one side of the lobby suddenly open.
Then the sound of chains rolling was heard.
Then, two cages like bird cages appeared, hanging on iron chains.
The two cages were very close to each other, and the man and woman in the cages held hands as if they would never let go.
The woman looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although there was some dust and dirt on her face, it could not hide her beauty.
The man was in his twenties, with a handsome appearance, but it was unclear whether he had suffered some pain. His cheeks were sunken and his face was full of despair. His eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he lay very weakly at the bottom of the cage, but there were no scars on his body.
The two were pulled up, the woman looked at the man, his eyes were blindfolded and he couldn't see around him, but he must have felt something, so he held her hand even tighter.
There is a feeling of never regretting until death and being together forever.
Bai Shun pointed at the man in the cage and said, "That is Master Tao Zhuo. The brothers didn't make him suffer. They just didn't let him eat or see the sun for two days."
After that, Bai Shun looked at Tao Zhuo and said, "Mr. Tao, this is Lord Lian Qiaolian from the Dali Temple. He is the one your father sent to save you."
After Bai Shun finished speaking, someone walked to the cage and reached out to take away the cloth covering Tao Zhuo's eyes.
Tao Zhuo, who had not seen the light for a long time, could hardly open his eyes and could only open them slightly. However, the first thing he looked at was Bai Shun, and then he looked at Lian Qiao very weakly.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he looked straight at Lian Qiao, "Save me!"
When Lian Qiao saw that Tao Zhuo was still alive, she didn't say anything, but looked at Bai Shun.
Because Boss Bai just said that there are rules.
People in the underworld have their own rules. Although Lian Qiao is silly in some things, he also knows that it is not that easy to take someone away.
only
The woman in the cage, the one who had been staring at Tao Zhuo without moving her eyes away, looked at Tao Zhuo and asked, "Zhuolang, are you going to save us?"
When Tao Zhuo heard the woman's voice, he finally moved his gaze away from Lian Qiao and looked towards the woman. Looking at the woman in front of him, Tao Zhuo said weakly: "Well, we."
The woman also smiled and just kept looking at him without moving her eyes away.
Everyone watched this scene with no expression on their faces, nor any murderous intent, as if they had seen it so many times that they had become numb to it.
Lian Qiao looked at the two infatuated people, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Bai Shun.
Bai Shun looked at Lian Qiao and took out a key from his arms: "There is only one key, and it can only save one person."
After saying that, Bai Shun smiled and looked at Lian Qiao: "If Lord Lian is willing, you can rescue two people, but you have to knock down all of us."
When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Lian Qiao.
Some of them have already reached for the weapons at their waists.
Bai Shun added: "However, if Lord Lian chooses the latter, then we will attack both of them."
Hearing this, Lian Qiao looked at the man and woman in the cage who were holding hands and were extremely affectionate.
The woman was still looking at the man.
The man looked at Lian Qiao with a pleading expression, as if he had something to say, but was too weak to speak.
The two were still holding hands.
Lian Qiao sighed. Although the only thing to do in the case was to find Tao Zhuo and bring him back.
And right now, I can just take the key and take them away.
but.
Is that ok?
have no idea.
Lian Qiao is not sure whether what he is doing is right or not.
But, if we really do this.
What the hell have I done in practicing sword skills?
Lian Qiao had read many storybooks since childhood, and had also heard his senior brothers and sisters who had gone out to gain experience, as well as elders, talk about things in the martial arts world.
There are many stories though.
But Lian Qiao remembered one thing.
When in doubt, just draw your sword.
Only in this way can thoughts become clear.
If it were my sister, I would have rescued them all.
Lian Qiao glanced at everyone present.
"If I only take Tao Zhuo away, what will you do with that girl?" Lian Qiao looked at Bai Shun.
Bai Shun smiled and said, "I don't know."
Upon hearing this, Lian Qiao looked at the man and woman again.
A swordsman should act worthy of the sword in his hand and worthy of his heart.
So, looking at the couple, Lian Qiao looked at the people around him and said, "I don't really understand, but I want to save both of them, so are you guys going to do it together, or one by one?"
