Jianghu Is Not Solitude - C44
Meng Chunlou was afraid that Peng Gao wouldn’t be able to stay here for long, so she took him to the temporary guest room they rented at the inn. She poured him a cup of tea and asked, “Are your injuries alright?”
Peng Gao laughed bitterly before continuing, “I have yet to take revenge. I won’t die that easily!”
“Old Man Peng, are you really going to deal with the Ru Yi Hall all by yourself?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
Peng Gao’s face instantly revealed a trace of pain from helplessness as he spoke in a sorrowful voice, “As long as this old man has a breath of air, I will not allow the Wishing Hall to run rampant through the martial arts world!”
“Why on earth did you offend them?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
He let out a long sigh and said, “Many years ago, the people of the Ru Yi Hall went to Wenzhou to expand their territory. They occupied the port, forced the fishermen to hand over the sea fees, and caused the local fishermen to complain.
“Isn’t this a tyrant? “Could it be that the authorities are just asking?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
“There are a lot of people who went to the government to complain, but the government doesn’t dare to do anything about it!” It was because several Prefecture Lords had been secretly assassinated because of their interference in this matter … Tell me, is what they did lawless? ” Peng Gao asked.
Meng Chun Lou fell silent for a moment, then said, “What happened next? Are we just going to let them do whatever they want? ”
“Of course not! As a martial artist with a reputation in the martial arts world, how could I sit idly by and watch such a thing happen? Who would have thought that the news would be leaked and pissed them off. I was actually tricked by them into leaving the mountain and sent someone to my house to kill thirty people in a row. It was a pity that the old me didn’t defeat the tiger and was instead injured by the tiger! This is really hateful! ” As Peng Gao said this, he couldn’t help but shed tears. His heart was broken beyond words.
“And then? They won’t let you go, will they? ” Meng Chun Lou asked.
“That’s right!” As soon as my family dies, I became confused and no longer had the heart to raise the masses against them. I can only hate my friends for not being able to escape death because of me! All these years, if I did not rely on my agility and caution, I would have been killed by them long ago! ” As Peng Gao said this, he clenched his fists and said, “So the hatred between me and the Ru Yi Hall is endless. It can only be ended with blood!”
“I never thought that the people from the Ru Yi Hall would be so cruel. This is very different from the people I’ve met!” Meng Chun said.
“Who do you know?” Peng Gao asked.
“The first one is the leader of the Wu Clan, Pavilion Master Wu!” He is an outspoken and generous person, and straightforward in nature. He does not seem to be a cruel and merciless person! ” Meng Chun said.
“Humph!” That’s just his mask, take off that mask, his heart is even darker than ink! ” Peng Gao coldly said.
Meng Chun Lou didn’t comment and continued, “The other is Gui Wu Ji! Although it is just our first meeting, I feel that he is an extremely wise person.
“Gui Wuji?” Peng Gao laughed mirthlessly, “He’s clearly a homicidal maniac. I’ve never seen him blink when he kills someone. I never thought you’d have a good impression of him!”
“Old swordsman Peng, don’t get excited!” I know that your family was killed by the people of the Wishing Hall. You can’t help but feel resentment in your heart, but, the people of the Wishing Hall aren’t all bad people like you think! ” Meng Chun said.
“What, you doubt this old man’s opinion?” Peng Gao asked.
“It’s not doubt, but disagreement!” Meng Chunlou smiled calmly, “To be honest, I have already made a bet with Gu Yiyang. The two of us have agreed that whoever captures the person who impersonates him first will win. On this matter, how helpful is the Ru Yi Hall?”
“What?” You actually accepted the help of the Ru Yi Hall? ” Peng Gao widened his eyes in shock.
“That’s why I wanted to advise you not to treat all of the people in the Ru Yi Hall as bad people. There are good people among them!” Meng Chun Lou laughed.
“Bastard!” Peng Gao smacked the table heavily, “Meng Chunlou, I really misjudged you! “One day, you will regret what you said today!”
“Old Master Peng, perhaps I’m not right, but my understanding of the Ru Yi Hall is limited to this. Please forgive me!” Meng Chun said.
“The Wishing Hall has long been the public enemy of the martial arts world. They have committed all sorts of crimes, murdered people, set fires, expanded their territory, infiltrated their own forces, and their ambitions are not as simple as competing for fame. Just you wait, one day, the entire martial arts world, and even the entire world will be thrown into disarray by them!” Peng Gao said.
“Old Master Peng, you’re too kind!” Meng Chunlou slowly stood up. “The ugly things you said about the Wishing Hall are mostly empty and unfounded, and there is no evidence to investigate. If you don’t listen to what you said, it’s all because of your personal hatred, so it would be unfair if you just beat the people of the Wishing Hall to death!”
“Meng Spring Pavilion!” Peng Gao suddenly stood up, “I didn’t expect you to say something like that! I, Peng Gao, have lived for more than half my life, yet I can’t see through the heart of man! Since we’re not having a good time, then let’s go our separate ways. Today, we will save your life and wait for you to return it. Farewell! ”
“Swordsman Peng, hold on!” It’s late at night and you’re wounded, where can you go? ” Meng Chun Lou hastily advised.
“Even if we have to die on the streets, it is better than sleeping in the same room as you! “Humph!” After saying that, Peng Gao glared coldly at Meng Chun Lou, turned around and left.
Seeing this, Meng Chunlou could not help but let out a long sigh and said, “Sigh! Hatred! Hatred is a weapon for killing! ”
The night was dark and quiet like the water. Where the gentle breeze came from, there was an endless vicissitudes of life!
On the other hand, Gui Wuji kept recalling the fight between him and Meng Chun Lou. The more he thought about it, the more he found Meng Chun Lou’s swordsmanship to be amazing. He couldn’t help but be filled with the desire to win!
He was trying to figure out a way to dissolve the attack, when he suddenly heard a light sound of wind coming from afar. He immediately raised his head vigilantly, and saw a person rushing across the grass like a ghost, suddenly appearing in front of him. That person immediately asked: “Why did you miss?”
Gui Wuji hurriedly lowered his head and called out respectfully, “Greetings, Sect Leader, for killing me!”
“Answer me!” That person was wearing a ghost mask, and his eyes did not move as if he was dead. However, his eyes were like torches, staring at Gui Wuji’s face, not giving him the chance to run away.
“I met Meng Chun …” Gui Wuji dejectedly said.
“So what? Are you going to let that damn Peng Gao off because of Meng Chun Lou? ” the man asked coldly.
“Peng Gao will die sooner or later, but with Meng Chun Lou here, I can’t kill him!” His martial arts are far above mine! ” Gui Wuji said.
“An excuse!” I don’t believe that Meng Spring Pavilion is so terrifying! ” The man said coldly.
“I only took ten of his moves, and then he cut off my hair!” Gui Wuji’s words still left a lingering fear in his heart!
“Are you trying to say that if you continue to fight, he’ll be able to take your life?” the man asked.
“That’s right!” If he can cut off my hair, he can cut off my neck! ” Gui Wuji said.
“Hahaha!” I never thought that the arrogant Gui Wuji would actually have a time when he was afraid! ” The man laughed.
“I only have one life and it’s not much more than others. Of course, I’m afraid!” Gui Wuji said.
“But now, you don’t have to be afraid. You will definitely have a chance to kill him!” That person said.
“What do you mean?” Gui Wuji asked with a puzzled expression.
“I want you to kill him now!” That person said.
“I won’t go until I find a way to counter his sword moves!” Gui Wuji said.
“You don’t trust me?” the man asked coldly.
“This subordinate dares not!” Subordinate just does not want to die for nothing! ” Gui Wuji said.
“Don’t worry, he’s very weak now. Anyone can kill him!” The man laughed sinisterly.
“What’s going on? Is he injured? ” Gui Wuji asked with a puzzled expression.
That person laughed complacently, and said: “Steward Chen Lu of the Chen Prefecture once ordered Meng Chunlang to kill Zhao Daxing and his men, in order to prevent Meng Chunlou from not coming back, he put a slow poison in the wine he gave him. As long as it lasts for more than three days, the poison will break out! Now that he has used his inner force multiple times, the poison has unknowingly spread throughout his body, so if you head over now, you will definitely be able to kill him! ”
“No!” I, Gui Wuji, will never take advantage of someone when they are in danger! I will definitely defeat him in broad daylight! ” Gui Wuji said.
“Stupid!” Have you forgotten how Pavilion Master Wu taught us? If you can use the smallest price to exchange for the greatest benefit, then you must not use a greater price to exchange for it! ” The man said coldly.
“But, the one we want to kill is Peng Gao, not Meng Chunlou. Why do we need him dead?” Gui Wuji asked.
“This is Pavilion Master Wu’s intentions!” The man answered flatly.
“I understand!” I’ll go look for Meng Chun Lou right now! ” Gui Wuji didn’t want to argue anymore, because as long as it was Pavilion Master Wu’s decision, there was no need for him to argue!
“Don’t let me down again! Because I can’t afford to lose face! ” the man said coldly.
Gui Wuji didn’t answer, he only shrugged his shoulders, activated his movement technique and leaped a few meters away!
When he arrived at the inn where Meng Chunlou was renting the inn, Meng Chunlou had just laid down. He flew up to the window and knocked on it gently. Meng Chunlou asked, “Who is it?”
“Gui Wuji!” Gui Wuji said coldly.
“What are you doing here again?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
“Kill you!” As Gui Wuji spoke, he suddenly jumped up onto the roof. Just as he was about to stand still, he saw Meng Chunlou suddenly jump out the window, then he turned around and jumped up as well, right in front of him!
“Follow me!” Gui Wuji gave a faint smile, turned around and rushed forward!
Meng Chun Lou hesitated for a moment and then also used her movement technique to chase after him!
The two of them moved quickly, and in just a few moments, they arrived at a dense forest. Gui Wuji suddenly stopped, turned around and said, “This is a good place!”
“I don’t have any grudges with you. Did you really draw me here just to kill me?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
“You got it right!” Gui Wuji suddenly pulled out his long blade and rushed towards Meng Chunlou. The long blade in his hand continuously changed moves, and with a leap, his long blade chopped down!
Meng Chun Lou saw the move and quickly blocked it with his sword. With a “Clang Clang” sound, sparks flew everywhere and Meng Chun Lou felt his right arm go numb. He couldn’t help but be shocked and think, “Why did his martial arts suddenly become higher?”
Gui Wuji was successful in one move. His sabre was like an endless stream. His sabre was fast and fast. It forced Meng Chun Lou to retreat again and again. He only had the power to defend!
Seeing that it was already more than thirty moves away, Gui Wuji suddenly shouted, “Fall!”
When he finished his sentence, the long blade in his hand actually hit the sword in Meng Chunlou’s hand. He then flew up with his right foot and kicked Meng Chunlou’s chest. He fell to the ground, breathing heavily and trembling uncontrollably!
Meng Chun Lou panicked as he felt cold sweat seeping out of his body. His clothes were already completely soaked. His mind quickly spun, but he couldn’t figure out when he was ambushed!
“You must be thinking about how you were poisoned, right?” Gui Wuji was not in a hurry to get Meng Chun Lou’s life.
“Are you willing to tell me?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
“It’s Chen Lu!” Gui Wuji said.
Only then did Meng Chun Lou remember the food and wine that Chen Lu had delivered to him when he was in prison. He could not help but be greatly shocked as he thought to himself, “This is bad! Jiang Sheng also ate. He must have been poisoned as well. What should we do? ”
Seeing the panic on his face, Gui Wuji smiled and asked, “Are you afraid of death?”
“It’s not that I’m afraid of death, it’s because people can’t escape death! I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to see him one last time! ” Meng Chun Lou sighed.
“Who?” Gui Wuji asked.
“I adopted a child. He’s eight and a half years old!” Meng Chun said.
“You are already at the end of your life, what do you still want from him? Is his life more important than yours? ” Gui Wuji asked.
“He has followed me and never had a blissful day. On the contrary, he has suffered a lot. If he was poisoned again because of me, then I would have let him down!” Meng Chun Lou smiled bitterly.
“You really think so?” Gui Wuji asked.
“Is there a need for me to lie to you when a man is about to die and his words are kind?” Meng Chun Lou smiled bitterly.
Gui Wuji was silent for a moment, then asked, “Don’t you feel that you’re not willing to die in such an unknown manner?”
“So what? Can you still let me go? You have your own difficulties! ” Meng Chun said.
“You don’t have to think about me!” Gui Wuji coldly smiled and said, “Because you and I don’t owe each other anything!”
“Then let’s do it! “Complete your task!” Meng Chun Lou laughed coldly.
“Don’t you want to know who tried to kill you?” Gui Wuji asked.
“I don’t want to!” Because if I die, I can’t do anything to him! Why should I let myself die with a bundle on my back? ” Meng Chun Lou smiled bitterly.
“What a weirdo you are! I’ve killed so many people, but I’ve never met anyone who thinks as you do! ” Gui Wuji laughed.
Meng Chun Lou gave a faint smile and said, “Is that so? “Then I am honored!”
“I don’t want to kill you anymore!” Gui Wuji said seriously.
“Oh? “Why?” Meng Chun Lou asked.
“I’ve always killed people, but very few people can kill me. Isn’t it boring?” It wasn’t easy for me to meet someone who had the ability to kill me. If I let him die, then wouldn’t I have to live a boring life again? ” Gui Wuji laughed.
“You are also a strange person!” Meng Chunlou said seriously.
“Therefore, it’s not easy for two weirdos to meet each other. If one of them dies, the other will become extremely lonely!” Mo Ji can also die! ” As Gui Wuji was talking, he suddenly jumped in front of Meng Chunlou, straightened his body, and injected his Zhen Qi into his palms, slowly pressing them against the center of Meng Chun Lou’s back.
“What are you doing?” Meng Chun Lou asked in surprise.
“Don’t speak! I will help you expel the poison! “Work together!” As Gui Wuji said this, he closed his eyes and poured his Zhen Qi into Meng Chun Lou’s body faster.
