Hidden Blade Chapter 123: Beasts
"Huh?" Yuan Xiucheng frowned, wondering if he hadn't heard Xu Han's words clearly, or he was not sure Xu Han would make such a request.
Of course Xu Han doesn't care about what he is thinking. He repeated his words once: "I want to see A Sheng."
"This is not in compliance." Yuan Xiucheng's eternal smile finally melted at that moment, and he stared at Xu Han and said.
"The Senluo Temple is not a monolithic piece. Yuan Yanluo wants the blood of the demon king, and the others also want it, and their progress is not necessarily much slower than Yuan Yanluo. Since it is a cooperation, I think we have to re-plan. Our position." But Xu Han laughed at that time.
What he said was not just a whim.
In the sword-holding pavilion competition, he noticed early that the black horses on the silver-holding rankings had appeared. Almost none of them had walked around the big summer rivers and lakes before. Silver held the top position on the list, and then some series of trials and competitions, the power displayed is even more breathtaking.
And what surprised Xu Han even more was that he asked the demons from these people, that it was the taste of "Sura Art". There was a group of masters who had mixed into the sword holding pavilion, but Yuan Xiucheng still valued him extremely, plus the few words Xu Han heard from Gui Bodhi, and he quickly made such an inference.
The struggle for power within the Senluo Temple made Yuan Xiucheng find Xu Han just now.
Of course, there are many Xu Han's own guesses in this kind of inference, but looking at Yuan Xiucheng at this moment, Xu Han knows that he is right.
Yuan Xiucheng's face turned gloomy. He stared at Xu Han, gritted his teeth and said: "Sitting on the ground and raising prices is not something businessmen should do."
"Xu is not a businessman. I want to see him to determine if he is safe. If Yuan Yanluo disagrees with this matter, then this matter of taking the blood of the demon king, then I am afraid you will find another person." Xu Han responded indifferently.
The identity and position between the two seem to have changed at this time.
"Are you not afraid that I would kill him?" Yuan Xiu asked with a gloomy expression, gritted his teeth.
"Of course I am afraid, but I bet Yuan Yan Luo is more afraid than I am." Xu Han's face also darkened.
The eyes of the two met in mid-air, colliding with each other like swords and swords, and neither of them would give in.
"Okay!" But in the end, Yuan Xiucheng took the lead to withdraw his gaze. He saw Xu Han's determination to fight for life. He was not afraid of Xu Han, he just felt that it was compared to Xu Han's fate. Certain things are more important.
So he chose to compromise.
"I'll take you to see him." He said so and turned around.
......
Yuan Xiucheng led Xu Han out of the dilapidated cabin.
It was late at night, and the rain stopped. But the water accumulated on the roofs of the tiled houses in the dilapidated alleys still trickles down the eaves little by little.
Rain water hit the stone road in the alley, making a crisp sound.
Outside the alley is the prosperous Henghuangcheng, where there is a well-dressed white jade boy with red makeup and a picturesque beauty.
But there is nothing in the alleys, only **** everywhere, small brick houses, and numb pedestrians wandering like ghosts in the shadows.
The inside and outside of the alley are only separated by a wall, but if there is a moat, it is like two worlds.
"The world is like this. The more glamorous the appearance, the more unbearable the hidden things." Yuan Xiucheng, who walked in front, exclaimed.
But Xu Han behind him did not answer with a calm gaze.
"It's like the so-called Tiance Mansion. Everyone thinks it represents fairness and justice. But in order to achieve the justice he believes in, what he has done is nothing less than what he has done compared to Nagiyaji."
Speaking of this, the man turned his head, looked at Xu Han behind him, and asked with a smile: "I want to come to Brother Xu to have a deep understanding of this."
"Aren't you the spy sent by Tiance Mansion to Senluo Temple? Isn't it okay to slander your boss like this?" Xu Han frowned, he didn't like Yuan Xiucheng's implied tone.
"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Yuan Xiucheng shook his head and said.
"So you were instigated by Sen Luodian? What benefits did they give you to make you so loyal to them." Xu Han asked.
Yuan Xiucheng, who heard this, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at Xu Han again, saying: "Yuan has never been loyal to anyone, and Yuan is only loyal to himself. At this point, I and Xu Brothers are alike."
Xu Han is noncommittal about Yuan Xiucheng's metaphor. His thoughts are all on Liu Sheng, but he is not interested in making this nonsense with Yuan Xiucheng.
Yuan Xiucheng seemed to see this too, he also stopped talking, and only led Xu Han to the depths of the alley.
......
The two of them soon came to the innermost side of the alley. At that time, a huge slum, wooden sheds built with planks, and some hay spread underneath, were regarded as a shelter. Most of them lived with thin old people and children. Seeing Xu Han and the other two approaching, they probably recognized them as rich people from the gorgeous clothes of the other party, and a group of people surrounded them at that time.
At that time, Yuan Xiucheng generously donated his purse and took out a purse from his arms. He did not hesitate to distribute the copper money from the sword purse to these beggars.
It's just that although there is a lot of money in the purse, the beggar is several times more than that.
It is inevitable that some people get money, but some people have nothing. The timid and weak can only look pitifully at the side, while the bold and strong anger is full of anger, obviously moving his mind.
The money in Yuan Xiucheng's purse soon bottomed out.
He shook his money bag toward the beggars, indicating that there was no money in it, and then shrugged helplessly, leading Xu Han to continue walking forward.
And soon there was a sound of scolding and begging for mercy behind him.
Xu Han didn't look back, but he could probably guess the scene there.
"Do not suffer from poverty but suffer from unevenness." Yuan Xiucheng's voice sounded again.
Xu Han frowned and did not respond to the man.
Yuan Xiucheng still didn’t care. He continued to move forward and stopped in front of a shanty. In the shanty stood a boy, twelve or thirteen years old, with a thin body and dark skin, as if from the mud. It's just picked up by someone.
He did not **** the money from other beggars, but stood up when he saw Yuan Xiucheng, and when Yuan Xiucheng came to him, he respectfully moved towards this man. He arched his hands, his appearance looked awkward, but his attitude was unexpectedly solemn.
Yuan Xiucheng smiled and nodded at him, and the child hurriedly moved away and opened the tattered curtain behind him.
At that time, a stone staircase leading to the ground appeared in Xu Han's eyes.
"Please." Yuan Xiucheng smiled at that time, and reached out to Xu Han.
Xu Han glanced at the man, took a deep breath, and then stepped in.
......
If we say that this dilapidated alley and the prosperous Henghuangcheng are the difference between rich and poor, then this underground situation should be called a world of difference compared to it.
After passing through a deep passage that is not too long, the scene in front of me suddenly opens up.
A huge magnificent room appeared in front of Xu Han's eyes, during which Yinggeyan dances and cups of light interlaced.
There were men and women in brocade robes. The men had flushed faces and bright eyes, while the women were almost obsessed with walking among the men, but they did not shy away from them. On the contrary, they were extremely enjoyable. These men cuddled or embraced directly.
And on both sides of the huge room, there are countless small doors, in which ambiguous red candles are lit, and from time to time there are bursts of reverie and depressive sounds.
"When did Senluodian change his job and start the business of the old bustard?" Xu Han asked with a sneer after the initial surprise.
"Doing business, naturally we will give what the customer needs."
"Don’t look at these people who are drunk and infatuated at the moment, and look like beasts, but outside this door, they are either the clan relatives of the Li family, or the son of a prominent official, and there are many famous places in the world. Even those pedantic Confucian scholars who are full of benevolence, justice and morality."
"This great summer has been peaceful for too long, gold and jade are all placed at the border, but I don't know that this ruined cat has already gnawed away the foundations of this huge thing."
Yuan Xiucheng sighed like this, it seemed that he was really sad about this kind of thing.
After saying this, Yuan Xiucheng shook his head and stepped forward again. He led Xu Han through the feasting hall and came to a dark door. He lit the candle in the room. But the dazzling candlelight could not dissipate the darkness in the room, but added a touch of depth.
In the swaying candlelight, Yuan Xiucheng walked to the wall beside the door, he fumbled slightly, and when he pressed a certain place, a mechanism was touched, and the stone wall was accompanied by a dull moment at that time. The sound separates from the middle.
Roar!
Wait for Xu Han to come back to his senses, a roar engulfed in boundless anger came from the retreating wall.
A beast-like voice and figure on all fours with scarlet eyes rushed out of the wall~ IndoMTL.com~ and slammed straight towards Xu Han.
Xu Han was startled, and was about to gather his sword intent to resist, but the figure suddenly stopped at a distance of less than a foot from Xu Han.
Xu Han discovered that the neck of the beast was actually bound by a thick chain. The beast seemed unwilling to stop there. He struggled forward again, but the chain was extremely strong. He couldn't do anything. Break free.
It can only be a constant roar at Xu Han to vent the anger in his heart.
At this moment, Xu Han followed the dark candlelight in the room, and finally saw the appearance of the beast.
Although his eyes are blood-red, although his limbs are on the ground, with sharp claws, and although his face is covered with weird scales, Xu Han still recognizes the opponent after a moment.
His face changed at that time, and his body trembled.
He stared at the beast, his eyes flashing and calling out: "A Sheng!"
