Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Another Farewell

Seeing Zhao Wuji's hesitant expression, Shangguan Ren suddenly sighed and said, "I know you don't want to believe it in your heart, but you're afraid of what might happen, right?" Mowgli didn't answer. "I think it's good. Let's meet here again tomorrow. I guarantee that I will bring evidence that you can believe." Shangguan Ren said, "You trust me on this?" Wuji took a look at Shangguan Yan and nodded his head. If he doesn't agree, it won't work. If he doesn't agree, Shangguanyan will immediately disfigure himself. What if the disfigured face is his father?Of course his thoughts turned to what if Shangguan Ren doesn't come tomorrow?It's just a gamble.What's more, if Shangguan Ren doesn't come, he can still find him, but it will take a lot of effort.

Shangguan Ren saw him nodding, immediately turned around and left. Wuji was just dumbstruck, looked at Shangguan Ren turned around, and walked away.After Shangguan Ren walked more than twenty steps away, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart. He felt that something ominous would happen right before his eyes. He felt this way because he remembered something. sword. Shangguan Ren didn't return his sword when he was about to leave. So, he rushed forward immediately, and shouted at the same time: "Don't!" It's too late, it's too late! When Wuji was chasing after him, Shangguanren had already stopped in his tracks, and when Wuji had walked about ten steps, Shangguanren turned around.

Wuji walked to a place two or three steps away from Shangguanyan and stood still, Shangguanyan's body had already turned around. Wuji's mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, his heart was bleeding, and he was shouting: Why!why!Why? Because what he saw was a bloody face. After Shangguan Ren left, he walked about ten steps, and began to cut open the skin of the back of his neck with his sword, pulling as he walked, and then, hearing Wuji's wild cry, he turned around. It's Zhao Jian!It's Wuji's dear father! Wuji's "Father" was choked in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

On Zhao Jian's face was a sad smile. The sad smile on the broken face was really weird.However, there was a kind light in his eyes, indicating that he did not blame his son at all. Wuji's face was covered with tears, and when he bent his legs, he knelt down and threw himself in front of Zhao Jian. The miserable and mournful voice finally called out: "Father!" Zhao Jian smiled sadly and said, "You don't have to be too sad, I didn't do this entirely to ask you to believe me." why?Is there any secret?Wuji thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it.

"Father did this partly for atonement." Zhao Jian said again. Atonement?Atonement for what?Wuji thought. "I hope you are mentally prepared." Zhao Jian handed the sword back to Wuji and said. Wuji looked at his father with questioning eyes. In the past few years, he always thought that his father had passed away, and he never thought that there would be such a change now.He had a lot to say and wanted to ask his father, but he didn't open his mouth. He looked at his father's disfigured expression, and he knew that his father would explain everything to him. "You thought it was your Uncle Shangguan who murdered me, right? Now that you have confirmed my identity, you must also know that the person who was killed was Uncle Shangguan."

Wuji didn't speak, he was listening intently. "Actually, the White Jade Tiger's plan was entirely designed by me. Ever since you and Uncle Shangguan went through Li Tianhui's disguise, my temperament began to change. I often think, if one day, Dafengtang can wipe out Tangjiabao, and the whole Jianghu is under our control, will I, you, Uncle Shangguan, and Sikong, still be separated and managed by three people? I suddenly had an impulse, I thought, I should be the only one to dominate the rivers and lakes. " Zhao Jian stopped here for a while, sighed, and then continued: "With such thoughts, I often become very irritable, especially when I see you, Uncle Shangguan, I will think, this person should Share my power, I must get rid of him."

"You didn't think of Uncle Sikong?" Wuji couldn't help asking. "Your Uncle Sikong is a man without ambition, so I don't worry at all." Zhao Jian said: "But Shangguan is different, he is just like me, he has a great desire for power, the only thing I am better than him is in foresight. " Zhao Jian said as he walked back to the big rock just now, Wuji also walked over and sat down.At this time, the blood on Zhao Jian's face had stopped, and the outline clearly showed that he was indeed Zhao Jian. "One day." Zhao Jian continued, "I finally came up with the White Jade Tiger's plan, which can eliminate Shangguan in one fell swoop, or take the opportunity to sneak into Tangjiabao and wait for the opportunity to destroy Tangjiabao.

So, on the day you were very happy, I called Shangguan into the secret room. He never dreamed that I would suddenly kill you. You know what happened next, so I don't need to talk about it. " Zhao Jian's expression became very sad, he smiled bitterly, and said, "Your father is the bad guy, do you know that?" Wuji didn't speak, and his heart was incomparably painful, and his heart became a mess again.His own father is the murderer, regardless of years of friendship, just to seize power, to monopolize Dafengtang, and then destroy Tangjiabao, and dominate the world.

Wuji couldn't forgive such behavior, but it was his own father who did such behavior! What should he do? He looked at his father, Zhao Jian's face was broken, but Wuji's heart was just like this face. "You don't have to be too sad." Zhao Jian said: "I decided to disfigure my identity to you, just to atone for my sins. I shouldn't have murdered Shangguan." "Father!" The only thing Wuji could say was a painful call. "Father is useless." "why?" "That kid Tang Ao has already poisoned me." "how come?"

"Tang Ao is very powerful. I believe he took advantage of Lian Lian's opportunity to stew the ginseng soup and poisoned the ginseng soup." "then you……" "I was unlucky just now, my blood was not smooth, and my skill probably disappeared by 40%, Tang Ao!" "Why does he do this?" "He wants to use you to get rid of me. At the same time, he can also use this opportunity to hit you. Think about it, the plan of the white jade carving dragon is completely false. After you kill me, he will tell you the truth immediately. This blow How big is it?"

Wuji could imagine that he would drink heavily every day and not care about doing things. In this way, no one would come forward about Dafengtang's affairs. At that time, as long as Tangjiabao launched a large-scale offensive, Dafengtang might be able to Disappear without a trace in the rivers and lakes! What a vicious guy, Wuji cursed inwardly. "Now, we have to play tricks." "Just count on it?" "Yes, just pretend to kill me and let Tang Ao tell you the truth. You have to pretend to be in a mess and attack him immediately." "Am I his match?" "It's hard to say, but since he wants to use this method to deal with you, it means that he has no certainty of winning against you, otherwise, he won't use any tricks at all, right?" "good." "So, you must pretend to be angry and regretful, and let him underestimate the enemy. Moreover, when you fight, you must make an attack that is impossible and full of loopholes at the beginning." "If he catches my loophole all at once, wouldn't I be asking for my own death?" "No, with Tang Ao's personality and the way he deals with you, he must like to play the game of cat and mouse, and he will only kill you when it makes you want to survive or die." "Is this too risky?" "If you don't take risks, how can you gain something?" Zhao Jian said: "The remaining question now is when is the best time for you to go to Tang Ao." Zhao Jian paused for a while, then said, "Unfortunately, I did something wrong." "What's wrong?" "I was afraid that you might have something important to do with me, so when I came out, I went very secretly. The Tang family didn't even know where I went." "Is this wrong?" "Now that I think about it, I was wrong." "why?" "Because with Tang Ao's personality, he will definitely keep an eye on me. If he knows that I am here, he will definitely come here and wait for you and me to make a big mockery of you after the duel." "Father, don't worry, I did the right thing." "Oh?" "I once asked the guy in the inn how I got here." "Okay, Tang Ao can't find any clues about where I went. He will definitely go to the inn to find out where you are, and he will definitely ask the buddy that you are here." "The problem is that I didn't say where, I just asked how to get there." "Enough is enough, Tang Ao will never let go of any clue." "Then he will definitely come?" "Perhaps he's been around looking for us." "Then what do we do now?" "We'll set it up right away." "Arrangement?" "Yes! It looks like a fierce fight, making Tang Ao think that we have already dueled." "What about you, dad?" "Me? Isn't it simple? I'm completely unrecognizable now, and I pretend to be dead, and it looks very real." "You want to play dead?" "This way Tang Ao won't see that you are pretending." "But……" "What's the matter? You think it's unlucky for me to pretend to be dead?" "no." "then you……" "I have a duel appointment with Tang Ao." "Never mind him, it's best to take this opportunity to kill him!" "..." "You promise him? Will he be a trustworthy person?" "I am a man of faith." "Okay, keep your word, but I can tell you that if he sees you later, he will definitely provoke you and force you to take action." "In that case, it's not that I've broken my promise first." "Son, the world is treacherous, why do you have to be so trustworthy?" "In Jianghu, isn't credit the priority?" "Bah!" Zhao Jian said angrily, "I've spent so many years in the rivers and lakes, but I've never met a trustworthy person." "But didn't dad always teach me to keep my word?" "Teaching is teaching, when facing things, you need to adapt to the situation, you know?" "I have no idea." "Why are you so obstinate? If your father was like you, Dafengtang would have no idea where he was, and would he still have a place in the Jianghu?" "But I..." "Don't talk about it." Zhao Jian interrupted Wuji and said, "Think about it, after Tangjiabao is eliminated, Dafengtang will dominate the world. Who does this whole business belong to?" "Of course it's yours." "Me?" Zhao Jian snorted coldly and said, "Can I?" "Why not?" "My true face has been exposed. Everyone in the Dafeng Hall will know that I have killed Shangguan. Am I still qualified to lead them?" "That……" Zhao Jian smiled wryly, and said: "Your son inherits his father's business, and the entire Dafeng Hall is yours, do you know that?" "Me?" Zhao Wuji was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to continue. "That's right. Apart from atonement for Shangguan, I have self-destructed. Another purpose is to show everyone that I will not take over Dafengtang, and I will hand it all over to you." Wuji didn't speak.Zhao Jian said again: "So, if you want to manage Dafengtang well, you must understand that the most important thing is to handle things well. Credit depends on who you speak to." "It's not in my personality." "Personality? If you want to talk about personality, you'd better live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. In the rivers and lakes, you only talk about means and goals, not personality." "Father, you have changed, a lot." "Who can stay the same after floating and sinking in the rivers and lakes for so long?" "Is Jianghu really so dangerous?" "It's more sinister than you can imagine." In Wuji's heart, a burst of emotion suddenly arises, such a Jianghu person, will he do it for a long time?Does he have to do it for a long time?His thoughts just flashed by, because Zhao Jian's words interrupted his thoughts. "For the sake of Dafengtang, and to inherit the foundation that I have built through untold hardships, you must recognize all the sinister tricks in the rivers and lakes, and face them before you can stand firm." I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, Wuji shouted in his heart. However, Zhao Jian didn't hear his inner voice, and continued, "You must promise me to take this opportunity to kill Tang Ao." "Father, why do you want me to do something against my conscience?" Wuji couldn't help but blurt out and ask. "Conscience? Can the dead have a conscience? Can the dead still have a conscience? If you don't kill Tang Ao, Tang Ao will kill you!" "I would rather choose a fair duel." "A fair duel? Huh!" Zhao Jian snorted coldly, and said, "Tang Ao used this method to deal with you. You still don't know his scheming? Is this still fair?" Wuji was silent.But his expression was still so determined. Seeing this expression in Zhao Jian's eyes, Zhao Jian was anxious and hated, why is this son so stubborn?Zhao Jian was extremely sad in his heart. Zhao Jian knew that Tang Ao was a very insidious person. Tang Ao used Shangguan Lianlian to poison himself, which showed that his insidiousness was more than ordinary. Such poisoning was killing two birds with one stone.If Wuji killed himself, it would be equivalent to getting rid of the person he wanted to get rid of for Tang Ao.If Wuji loses, he has been poisoned, and 40% of his skill has disappeared, Tang Ao certainly doesn't have to worry about what will happen to him, because he can kill himself at any time. Of course, Tang Ao never dreamed that the conspiracy of "White Jade Carving Dragon" happened to have such an incident with Zhao Jian and Shangguan Ren. Such a clever arrangement is really God's will. God's will to destroy Tangjiabao. But Wuji didn't want to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at all. How could this not make Zhao Jian anxious and sad? However, seeing Wuji's resolute expression, Zhao Jian had no idea how to convince his son! There was a sudden silence between the two of them. After a while, Zhao Jian suddenly thought of a plan. He suddenly yelled in surprise, covering his stomach with his hands, with a painful expression on his face. Wuji was startled, and quickly said, "Father, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Jian was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak, and after a while, he said, "What a sinister Tang Ao!" Wuji looked at the pained expression on his father's face, felt as if a knife was piercing his heart, and said, "Tang Ao..." He took a deep breath after speaking halfway. "You must avenge me." Zhao Jian interrupted Wuji and said. "Revenge?" Wuji felt a little puzzled. "En." Zhao Jian's mouth unexpectedly had traces of blood oozing out. "Father!" Wuji screamed while holding his father's shoulder. "Now do you know how vicious Tang Ao is?" Wuji felt baffled again, he stared at Zhao Jian in surprise and bewilderment. "The chronic poison he administered cannot see blood. When I see blood, I will become like this." "How are you doing now? Dad!" "I'm heartbroken right now, and I'm bleeding everywhere in my body." "how so?" "This is where Tang Ao is vicious." Zhao Jian once again emphasized Tang Ao's viciousness, saying: "He knows that I will fight with you, even if he wins by chance, he will inevitably die. The poison he poisoned, once it touches blood, I will die. Just, I'll just..." Zhao Jian's voice became weaker and weaker. "I'll take you to the doctor." "It's useless, I know, I'm exhausted." "Father!" Wuji wanted to help his father up, but was blocked by his hand. "You don't need to bother." Zhao Jian said, "Everyone will die, so you don't have to be too sad." Wuji's eyes were filled with tears. "Before I die, I have two wishes." "Father said." Wuji's voice was hard to swallow. "First, you must use this opportunity to get rid of Tang Ao. This is the best opportunity. You don't have to pretend that even if you die, everything is real." Wuji nodded tearfully. "Second, you must take over the Great Wind Hall and fulfill my lifelong wish." No taboo. "Will you promise me?" Zhao Jian's eyes were full of expectation. Wuji was still speechless. "You must promise me." Zhao Jian's voice became weaker. Mowgli nodded. Zhao Jian laughed, and then his men fell down. "Father!" Wuji screamed in pain. The dead will never be resurrected because of the painful cry. The most helpless thing in life is death. Zhao Jian died happily because everything went smoothly according to his plan. When he was testing his internal strength and found that he had lost 40% of his strength, he knew that Tang Aoxia's chronic poison must be incurable, and death was only a matter of time. Everyone wants to live longer, but the situation of Wuji's emphasis on righteousness is too serious, which made Zhao Jian think of dying early just now. Instead of dying, it is better to use death to persuade his son, so he deliberately blamed Tang Ao for all the reasons for his sudden death, so that Wuji would hold a grudge against Tang Ao, and wished to kill him immediately to avenge himself. Therefore, the real cause of Zhao Jian's death was not poisoning, but the use of internal force to shatter internal organs. This is a very painful way to die, but compared to the pain of living and watching Tangjiabao dominate, this kind of death is no longer painful to Zhao Jian. Of course Wuji didn't know that his father lied to him until his death. The secret of Zhao Jian's death, with his death, no one will know forever. Wuji's grief is indescribable. He always thought that his father had died in the White Jade Tiger's plan, but suddenly he saw that his father was still alive, but in less than an hour, he really died. He fixedly stared at the face of his father's painless death, letting tears flow down his face. He secretly made an oath in his heart that he must kill Tang Ao for his father to avenge him. He picked up his father's body, walked out of the boulder, and walked around the Lion Mountain, looking for a place with a good view. He found it, where he could overlook the town below the mountain and the vast plain outside the town. He dug a big hole with the scabbard.Bury his father's body. Then, he stood there, silently recalling the various situations in his life with his father. After an unknown amount of time, he heard very slight footsteps. Tang Ao is here. Wuji didn't look back, his tears had already dried up, and what he began to think in his heart was hatred. The footsteps he heard became louder and louder, and finally stopped about three feet behind him. "You are a nice person!" It was indeed Tang Ao's voice that came from behind. Wuji turned around slowly and looked at Tang Ao. His emotions were under control, and there was no hatred in his eyes. He just stood there peacefully. "You also buried the enemy who killed your father. It shows that you still have deep feelings for Uncle Shangguan, right?" Wuji didn't speak, what he was thinking in his heart was how to deal with Tang Ao so as not to show any flaws. Tang Ao suddenly laughed, from a smile to a big laugh. After the laughter stopped, Wuji asked, "What are you laughing at?" "I laugh at you." "Laughing at me?" "That's right, it's stupid to laugh at you." Wuji laughed secretly in his heart, because he knew who the idiot was better than anyone else. "Am I stupid?" Wuji asked. "Of course, you're not stupid, how could you fall into my trap?" "Hit your plan? What kind of plan?" "Do you know that you killed the wrong good man?" Of course Wuji knew, but he pretended to be the real one and asked, "Who did I kill wrongly?" "Shangguan Blade." "Shangguan Blade?" "good." "Shouldn't you kill your father and your enemy?" "Should." "Then how could I kill wrong?" "The problem is, he's not your father-killing enemy." "Oh?" "you do not believe?" "Of course I don't believe it." Wuji simply acted all the way: "Could it be that my father's diary is fake?" "Why not?" "Why?" "Because I made it up." Wuji suddenly burst out laughing. "What are you laughing at?" Tang Ao asked. "Don't you think it's ridiculous? You made up my father's diary?" Wuji laughed again as he spoke. "You do not believe?" "Of course I don't believe it. What's your purpose in saying that? You're trying to make me angry, aren't you?" "Yes, I meant to make you feel remorseful and angry." "What's in it for you?" "I can take the opportunity to kill you." "Why? Didn't we have a duel appointment first?" "Duel?" Tang Ao snorted coldly and said, "It's a fair duel, I'm not sure I can beat you." "why?" "Because the swordsmanship you learned from Xiao Donglou is the best swordsmanship in the world, it's too powerful." "So you're trying to piss me off on purpose, to make me impulsive, right?" "Not bad at all." "However, the story you made up is too bad. How can I believe your words?" "certainly." "We changed the date to today? Here and now?" "I won't object." "You don't regret it?" "I only regret killing Uncle Shangguan by mistake." "Then you should regret this matter. In fact, you are such a gullible person, you really shouldn't come out to lead the Dafeng Hall." Wuji didn't answer, he knew that Tang Ao was using his best aggressive method again. Of course Wuji did everything he could, pretending to be getting more and more angry, but in fact, his heart was calmer than ever. "Do you know what you should do?" Tang Ao said again. "do what?" "Be a ghost!" Tang Ao said, laughing proudly. Wuji's face became even more angry. Tang Ao carefully watched the change of expression on Wuji's face, he knew that now was the best time to make a move. So he said, "Let's have a fair duel now!" Wuji laughed secretly in his heart, a fair duel?You deliberately irritated me and greatly reduced my martial arts, is this fair? However, looking at it from another angle, Wuji is actually pretending everything. He deliberately let Tang Ao misunderstand him, and Tang Ao will underestimate the enemy. Underestimating the enemy is a fatal wound in sparring. So, no matter from that perspective, this is not a fair duel. Absolutely not. But thinking about it on a deeper level, it is quite fair to come to a duel at this time and place, because Tang Ao designed to let Wuji fall into the trick, and Wuji did not expect that he would use his tricks to cheat. They are all maintained in the best condition, isn't such a duel fair?
