Chapter 79
079 "That night I had just crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, having managed to save my life from the brink of death. All around me were debris, and I was the only one still breathing."
"Just a trip to Jiangnan cost dozens of my men their lives!"
"The woman used a dead vine to pull me back home, and stayed by my bed day and night, taking care of me for more than half a month, until I was able to return to the capital to report."
"And then?"
Seeing how emotional Li Si was, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help himself for a moment. He didn't care what had happened at that time, but only cared about what happened to the woman Li Si mentioned.
It was a case of a beauty saving a hero. To be honest, he felt that Li Si should pledge her love to him and be able to rescue him in that situation. If there was no special reason, it would not be excessive.
Of course, being disliked is another matter.
"I later killed her and personally ordered the killing of all the people in that village."
After turning around to look at everyone, Li Si could actually laugh. His tone became very proud: "It's their own fault for meddling in things they shouldn't be meddling in. "
~! @#￥%...&, you can still be considered a human being!
Li Si's miraculous words made Xiang Jiannan's blood boil. He almost cursed on the spot. What kind of person could do such a thing to his lifesaver? He brought this upon himself? Wouldn't he be struck by lightning if he said it out loud?
He knew that one needed to be ruthless to climb up the social ladder, but what did saving the woman of Li Si and the people of the entire village have to do with his climb up the social ladder? He must have other intentions when he told the whole thing in front of the three of them.
I thought it was a very sad love story, but it turned out to be another case of ingratitude. This Li Si is definitely mentally abnormal.
"Why bother talking about the past, Xiao Li?"
Compared to Xiang Jiannan, Gao Yuan seemed calm after Li Si finished speaking. He walked sideways to a brighter place, as if to end the conversation between them: "There is a very fragrant smell in your Demon Subduing Division."
Li Jin suddenly came to his senses and turned his gaze to his boss.
Why is Lord Li acting so strange today? He didn't understand a word he said. What he just said was inconsistent with his usual behavior. As a subordinate, this is the first time he has heard of such a thing in all these years. In front of the two Taoist priests, he felt that Li Si had lost his composure.
It seemed like they had no reason to come to the Demon-Suppressing Division this time. After barely eating a meal, Xiang Jiannan and his master were quickly arranged to stay in an inn. In Li Jin's words, it was inconvenient for them to stay in the division, so accommodation had already been prepared for them before the two arrived.
The superior rooms are billed to the Demon-Slaying Division.
"That Lord Li looks weird."
After seeing Li Jin off and returning to the guest room, Xiang Jiannan looked at the scenery outside the window and said to the master.
He felt that his master's feelings should be similar to his own. Even if he was more open-minded, he would definitely have some thoughts in his mind. He just didn't know why Li Si told them about this. What was there to brag about in such a disgraceful experience?
Li Si’s expression before still makes me hate him when I think about it.
"What's so strange about that? In my opinion, he is just a person of temperament."
After entering the room, he lay down on the bed with his eyes closed as if he was meditating. After Xiang Jiannan spoke, Gao Yuan was too lazy to even open his eyes when he answered:
"My disciple, you are too easy to believe what others say. I don't think that Xiao Li is someone who can do such a thing. He is just talking nonsense and lying."
"How do you know?"
"Looks!"
Thinking that the master could say something, Xiang Jiannan turned his head to look at the bed. He saw Gao Yuan had already stood up. Li Si looked old and, judging from his facial features, was actually about the same age as the master.
Appearance, physiognomy? Can this method be used to infer whether something is true or false?
"That Li Sisheng is just an ordinary person. Which girl would be willing to help him? He is just talking nonsense."
Tilting his neck, he spoke to Xiang Jiannan, analyzing Gao Yuan's words carefully:
"If I were your teacher, it would be fine. Once upon a time... the land of Jiangnan was full of poetry and literature. Young men in the Zhou Dynasty all had similar dreams. It is not so easy to get along with the people in a village."
“.”
Completely unconvinced by the master's guess, Xiang Jiannan sat by the window and had nothing to say when he saw him collapse again after he finished speaking. He heard the master turn sideways and say a few more words, and this time, it sounded quite plausible:
"People's hearts are hard to predict. I'm afraid Li Si is reminding us of something. After all, if someone can kill even his benefactor, how can he be called a friend?"
After listening to it, I couldn't understand why Li Si did this for a while, but after I came to think about it, I understood.
Fabrication, bluffing? With Li Si's current status, he would not do such a childish trick.
After arranging the two Taoists, Li Jin hurried back to the Demon-Suppressing Division. He did not see Li Si again, and he did not need to report. After packing up, he went straight back to the bedroom. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Tang Ning sitting beside the bed, and the silver spear in his hand was nowhere to be found.
After seeing Li Jin come in, he just moved slightly, and there was no politeness between the two.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"Was today's event really arranged by the higher-ups?"
Sitting down on the bed and taking off his clothes one by one, Li Jin asked questions without even looking at Tang Ning.
Currently, not many people have returned from the Demon Subduing Division, except Tang Ning. They meet each other quite often, and there is no estrangement between them.
We grew up together since childhood.
"If you want to ask anything, just speak louder. You know I have poor hearing."
Noticing that Li Koukou was mumbling something, Tang Ning stood still without moving. Everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division treated him as a normal person, except for the two Taoists today. Even though it was just acting, he was always good at turning a fake into reality, so he was not afraid of any trouble.
"I said you were a reckless man. Did you hear me this time?"
At this time, he had almost taken off all his clothes. He tilted his head and stared at Tang Ning carefully, and Li Jin repeated word by word in his ear.
He didn't know why Tang Ning suddenly took action today. Under normal circumstances, he would never say those words to his face because his intentions were too obvious.
Since he's hiding it from me, he definitely doesn't want me to ask too many questions. After thinking about it, I can only say it in a different way.
If not what kind of behavior is that of a reckless person, then what kind? No one, including adults, is normal today.
"What do you know!"
Turning his head to look at Li Jin with a calm expression, Tang Ning seemed to have heard what he said: "Some things don't need to be said for you to understand. The master said that the two Taoists were not ordinary people. He asked me to do as he was told. The last matter is not over yet."
"fart!"
After determining that no one was outside the house at the moment, Li Jin suppressed his anger and yelled at Tang Ning: "What does it have to do with those two Taoist priests? I took the initiative to bring up the matter."
"Stop talking, my ears are not good."
Raising his hand towards Li Jin, Tang Ning gestured and pointed to his ear:
"Don't you feel tired talking so much to a deaf person? Don't forget your status... We in the Demon Subduing Division don't have such a thing as self-righteousness, and even adults are no exception!"
