Chapter 395 Keep someone under the sword
When asked this question, the Mingshan Sect and their gang didn't know how to respond. They really wanted to ask him if he was joking. Do we have any say in such a big decision?
If someone can make such a big decision, why do we need you as the boss?
It was not a joke, but they really thought so in their hearts. If it were between them, they might not obey each other, but when it came to Shi Chun, they had already tacitly accepted that it was Shi Chun who should make the final decision on important matters, so they felt at ease.
Along the way, facts will put everyone in the position they deserve, determined by results and abilities.
Also, is this true? This evil person is our mortal enemy. He finally fell into our hands. Can we let him go?
They didn't understand Shi Chun's thoughts, but Wu Jinliang did.
As soon as Wu Jinliang heard it, he knew that this was either said to someone else or to him, Wu Jinliang, although on the surface it was asked to everyone.
He perked up, his eyes widened, and he moved to the side of Tong Mingshan, raising his arms and shouting, "Don't let him go, you can't let him go, kill him!"
The Mingshan Sect's group all looked at him. It wasn't that they thought there was anything wrong with what he said, but that his tone was wrong. They didn't know where his anger and high pitch came from, and this emotion seemed a little inexplicable.
This also made Li Hongjiu feel awkward. He turned his head to look at Wu Jinliang who was clenching his fists and waving his arms. The guy who was laughing at him before now acted as if he had killed his father.
Taking advantage of Tong Mingshan's body to block the view, Wu Jinliang poked Tong Mingshan in the back with his other hand, repeatedly reminding him and giving him hints.
Tong Mingshan was not stupid. Combining Shi Chun's question, he immediately understood what he meant and responded immediately, "Can't let go!"
Shi Chun first took out the ice sheep to catch his breath, then said with a look of great sorrow: "Why is it so! As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. I admire you very much, and I am willing to put aside the past grudges and become brothers forever. I beg you to give me some face for the fact that I have done my best for you all."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongjiu turned her head and stared at him again. There was a look of innocence on her face, the kind of innocence that came from being rescued for no reason. Before, she clearly hoped that the other party would let her go, but now she really wanted to ask, is this true?
There's absolutely no need to play tricks on him.
The point is, he couldn't find any reason for Shi Chun to spare his life, and it seemed like he couldn't give him anything, right? This guy killed people without blinking an eye, and he was a person with no moral values from the land of exile. If he said that he would let him go without any benefit, he himself didn't believe it.
But he really couldn't think of what benefit he could give to the other party. Did he want him to help him leave?
He thought about it and thought that if he was not being played a joke on himself, this seemed to be the only reason for him to leave the Divine Fire Realm alive.
If no one helps, this will be an insurmountable hurdle for the other group.
After figuring this out, he felt a lot more at ease and estimated that he would not die because he was flexible and not so stubborn. As long as others asked for something, it would be easy and he would definitely survive.
The corners of Wu Jinliang's mouth twitched again and again. He thought he knew Shi Chun best, but the current Chuntian seemed so strange. It was one thing to understand what Chuntian was trying to do. The key point was that Chuntian spoke in a pretentious manner all the time, not like the pretentious one before. And similar words seemed a little familiar.
It's not hard to remember where it looks familiar because it's rare.
I remembered having read it in the book "Mountain and Sea Lanterns" which I often read in the spring. That book tells the story of the owner of "Wuyang Palace", or it is a kind of dramatization of its legend. It is said that the owner loved to make sworn brothers with people back then.
'Wuyang Palace' is a place that has been separated from the world of cultivation and is at peace with the world. Its owner and his partner are free and have disappeared. The current empress came from Wuyang Palace. Although the empress said that what she did had nothing to do with Wuyang Palace, her behavior still caused Wuyang Palace to be criticized to some extent.
Although he remembered the source of Chuntian's words, he still couldn't figure out what Chuntian was trying to do, but that didn't prevent him from cooperating.
He laughed out loud as if he had heard a huge joke, "Face? How much is face worth? Shi Chun, is your face more important, or are the lives of others more important!" He waved his hand vigorously, pointing at the Zhishan Sect, and then at Li Hongjiu, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and roared, "He is chasing us, how can we let him go!"
Well, even if the Mingshan Sect's group was slow to react, they were after all the elite disciples of various sects. When had Wu Hehe ever had the courage to talk to the boss like this? His current state was not like what Wu Hehe should be like. He acted like a stranger.
Everyone understood that this guy was playing a double act with the boss.
Rejected, Shi Chun looked at Tong Mingshan eagerly, cupped his hands and said pleadingly: "Master, it's rare for me to ask you for help, how about giving me some face this time?"
Li Hongjiu, who could only move the part above his neck, blinked again and again, trying to appreciate everyone's reactions.
If Tong Mingshan still didn't know how to cooperate, then he wouldn't be worthy of being the leader of the Tianyu Liuxing Conference. This time, he immediately reacted with his expression and said in a deep voice: "Shi Chun, this is not a matter of giving face or not. What Wu Jinliang said is right. Don't you know that he is chasing us? How can we leave this trouble behind?"
"That's right, you can't let it go."
"Yes, it must not be forgiven."
"Master, if you let him go, there will be endless troubles."
The people from Mingshan Sect started talking at once, all of them were very angry, and they seemed to want to cut Li Hongjiu into pieces.
"Alas." Shi Chun lowered his head sadly, slowly turned around and faced Tie Zongzi, sighing, "Mr. Li, I admire you very much, and I really want to establish a brotherly relationship with you, but you and I both know that reality is reality, and what they said makes sense, and I can't do anything about it." Li Hongjiu still blinked his eyes again and again, with a wonderful expression. What he wanted to say was, do you think the other sects don't know how you guys got together? During the Tianyu Liuxing Conference, they were all the people who were pitted by you, and you drove them all out of the sect, and then you got them out of jail.
So, do you think the other factions are deaf and blind and don’t know that you are the leader of this group?
The problem is, with your strength as a grandson, who would believe you when you say you are a grandson in front of them? Do I, Li Hongjiu, look that stupid?
But even though he knew it in his heart, he had to keep it to himself, and it was not convenient for him to expose it and slap someone in the face now.
Unexpectedly, Shi Chun suddenly turned around and left, as if giving up. He turned his back to everyone and waved, "Forget it. Whether he lives or dies, you guys decide for yourselves."
Li Hongjiu turned his head and watched him go. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. He saw Wu Jinda waved his hands and took out an exaggeratedly large sword, dragging it on the ground as he walked towards them. It was obvious that he was coming with bad intentions.
"Oh." Li Hongjiu couldn't help but sigh. She really wanted to shout, "Can you please stop making trouble? Can't you just say what you want directly? I've behaved so sensibly. Is there anything that can't be said directly? Do you have to scare me like this?"
Wu Jinliang came in front of him, suddenly raised the knife with one hand, then held it with both hands, and then chopped towards Li Hongjiu's head with a whistling force that broke through the wind.
Xiao Sheng, who was serving Li Hongjiu with a glass of ice lamb, quickly withdrew his hand.
Li Hongjiu thought that the knife would not reach his head and wanted to close his eyes and ignore it.
Ran thought about it and decided, forget it, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. You might as well cooperate with them. What if you guessed wrong?
He immediately shouted: "Wait!"
Shi Chunyi suddenly turned around, waved his hands, and shouted, "Spare his life!"
Whoosh! The strong wind closed Li Hongjiu's eyes, his hair fluttered in the wind, and the blade of the sword stopped just in front of his forehead.
The wind stopped. Li Hongjiu slowly opened his eyes and looked around, cursing in his heart, it should have stopped just in time. Why did he have to take such a long detour?
He became more and more certain.
Shi Chun rushed back and pushed away the impending sword. He half-lay on the iron rice dumpling and said to Li Hongjiu face to face: "Sir, do you have any last words to say? Just tell me what you want to say. I will definitely help you get it there. As long as I can do it, I will definitely live up to your trust. If I say even a word of falsehood, God will strike you with lightning!"
Struck by lightning? Li Hongjiu couldn't help blinking again.
After holding it in for a while, he adjusted the angle of his lips, blew away the messy hair hanging from his eyelashes, and then revealed an extremely sincere look, "Can I not die?"
"Hmm?" Shi Chun tilted his head slightly. What kind of last words were these?
Well, Li Hongjiu showed his sincerity again and said, "Senior Brother, no, Brother Chun, after our first official fight, my admiration for Brother Chun became uncontrollable. I kept thinking about him, sighing to the sky and shaking my head to the ground from time to time. I also wished that Brother Chun and I could become brothers of different surnames."
Every one of the Mingshan Sect's gang stared at this man in shock as if they were petrified.
Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Then why are you still chasing me?"
Li Hongjiu said with a sad face, "We were born at the wrong time. We each serve our own masters. Brother Chun is so wise that he knows why I am chasing you. I swear to God, I really don't want to kill you, I just want to capture you alive, so that I can give an explanation to my superiors and save your lives from being persecuted by others."
As he spoke, he tried to turn around and glanced at everyone. "You have all seen how angry the various sects are at you. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and press you. You can all understand with your heels that I want to find the secret method to find the divine fire. How can I kill you directly? You all misunderstood."
His gaze returned to Shi Chun's face, and he said sincerely, "If I tell you even a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
After he finished speaking, he blew air through his lips, blowing away the messy hair that always hung on his eyelashes.
This oath was sworn with great skill. The image of the man controlling thunderbolt came to Shi Chun's mind again. At the same time, he also thought of how he was struck by lightning but was not only fine but also had his cultivation level improved.
Then again, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to save the other person's life. Isn't that trouble enough?
Of course, he also realized that there was something wrong with the oath he made before, and he didn't know whether the oath sworn in return by the other party was intentional.
Anyway, the eldest brother didn't mention the second brother. He just brushed aside the matter and reached out to gently help Li Hongjiu brush away the annoying messy hair. He sighed and said, "Everyone serves his own master. That makes sense. If this hadn't happened, I would have worshipped you as my eldest brother. What a pity..."
Li Hongjiu nodded repeatedly and interrupted, "There is a chance, there is a chance, there is a chance, can't we just let this matter go? I am just a few years older than you, but you have the nerve to call you your brother. Brother, since we brothers appreciate each other, what can't be said, and what grudges can't be unresolved? There is really no need to do something like fratricide, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Shi Chun sighed, "Brother Jiu, the key is that I can't decide this matter alone. You have seen their attitude."
Li Hongjiu nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand, I understand. How could brother not understand this? Please help me talk to them. My words are still effective in Yanbao Sect. As long as I am alive, when the exit is opened, I can find a way to help you escape smoothly."
