Chapter 339
The news that Xu Zhihu and Li Chengqian visited the Lu Mansion together had already spread, and the boy also got the news and hurried over.

Er Qiao looked very surprised to see him.

"It's great that you're okay. I haven't seen you these days. I thought..."

She paused, then smiled and said: "Forget it, don't say this, you'll be fine."

She glanced at the boy and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here? Are you looking for our young lady?"

The boy nodded slightly and said hesitantly: "I have something to do and want to see the princess."

Naturally, he now dared not regard Xu Zhihu as Lu's wife.

In other words, no one in the entire Lu family dared.

Er Qiao frowned slightly when she heard this: "Miss woke up not long ago, and went out to blow in the wind before." As she said that, she saw the bruises still remaining on the boy's face, and thought of the boy who risked his life to save her that day. picture.

If the boy hadn't appeared in time and allowed her to run out of the Lu Mansion, she might not have been able to meet His Highness the King of Shu.

Then Miss, I'm afraid she may not be able to be saved.

It can be said that the other party is kind to her and the lady.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, but you must be careful when you speak. Just wait, I'll go tell the lady."

When the boy heard this, he was extremely grateful.

After Er Qiao entered the room for a while, he opened the door and came out.

"Come in with me."

The boy followed Er Qiao into the room. Xu Zhihu was half leaning on the bedside, looking calmly with his beautiful eyes.

"But uncle, is there something you want to see me for?"

Naturally, she recognized the boy who had been following Lu Baijie.

The boy fell to his knees with a thud.

"Princess, please, please save my master."

In an instant, Er Qiao's expression changed suddenly. She didn't pay much attention to the outside world, but she had also heard someone talk about Lu Baijie being seriously injured by His Highness the King of Shu.

But life should be fine.

Afraid of affecting Xu Zhihu's mood, she never mentioned it.

But now, the boy came to the door and begged the lady to save his master.

How can the young lady have the ability to cure diseases and save people? Speaking of which, it is nothing more than asking His Highness the King of Shu through the young lady.

Wouldn't this embarrass the lady?
When she was annoyed, she wanted to drive him out, but seeing the scars on the boy's face, she hesitated for a moment.

Xu Zhihu was also a little nervous when he heard this.

"What happened to my uncle?"

The boy didn't dare to add insult to injury and told him all he knew about the cause and effect.

With a face full of pleading, he said: "My master's cultivation has been ruined, his heart is as gray as ashes, he has not had a drop of water for several days, and he is already dying. Please, for the sake of past kindness, please save my master."

Xu Zhihu's face looked a little cold.

Lu Baijie attacked the person next to Li Chengqian, but was severely wounded by a sword, and his cultivation was completely ruined.

The boy may not know the identity of the person, but she does know that the person Lu Baijie took action must be Jiang Si, the princess of Chu.

Before she left the palace, she had met him several times. In the past few days, he had been busy taking care of her.

The most important thing is that Jiang Si is also the woman of her future husband.

Because Xu killed her, the Lu family suffered nearly a hundred casualties.

Lu Baijie attacked Jiang Si but was still alive. She knew that he had shown mercy.

She got out of bed, stood up and came to the boy.

"Take me to meet my uncle."

……

In a side courtyard, the strong smell of medicine has spread far before it enters.

Xu Zhihu walked in slowly with the support of Er Qiao, and saw Lu Baijie lying on the bed in the courtyard room, his face was ashen, his eyes were lifeless.

He looked like a dying old man, with no trace of the former Tangxi Sword Immortal.

"Uncle." Xu Zhihu's voice made Lu Baijie react slightly, and his dead eyes slowly moved towards him.

He is actually not that fragile.

But in the Lu Mansion, he has always been proud of this level of strength, which is also a rare pillar in his life.

But the pillar he was proud of collapsed so easily, as if it was crushed to pieces with a casual kick when someone passed by.

This was a huge blow to his pride.

Even after that scene, he had no hope of avenging his brother who once saved his life.

In other words, I no longer have the heart or courage to take revenge.

This was also a terrible blow to his mind.

Then, regardless of his cultivation, the doctor also told him that his hands and feet would be weak in the future, let alone holding a sword, he would not be as good as an ordinary person.

It can be said that this bad news directly broke his remaining spirit.

Three consecutive blows made him completely lose his desire to live.

He would rather die than live like this.

Xu Zhihu was smart and naturally understood this.

Therefore, she did not make a long speech. She just looked at Lu Baijie and said softly: "Uncle, I know you are depressed, but if you do something and fail, you have to bear the consequences."

Pursuing the goal of taking human life, no matter what the consequences are, being alive is already a blessing.

Lu Baijie moved his eyes, but remained silent.

Xu Zhihu said softly: "In the future, the world will undergo great changes, but among the Lu family, force is never used to judge merit."

After saying this, she didn't say anything more, she just said calmly: "Take care."

After that, she turned and left.

When he came to the door, Lu Baijie's hoarse voice sounded.

"Thank you."

Xu Zhihu paused slightly, smiled, and left.

In the room, Lu Baijie managed to sit up, panting, and leaned against the bed.

"Go get the food."

When the boy saw this, he cried with joy.

"Yes, yes, master, I'll go right away."

The world was undergoing great changes. Lu Baijie pondered these four words carefully.

Compared with the survival of the Lu family, his personal honor, disgrace, life and death are actually less important.

As Xu Zhihu said, if you lose, you have to admit it.

What does it mean to seek death and live?
……

In Haitang Garden, the battle between Li Chengqian and Hong Xiu, the Six-Jead Bodhisattva, has come to an end.

Li Chengqian seemed to have some realization, and slowly performed the 54 body-building exercises in the snow.

Snowflakes flew in all directions, circling as he moved.

Vaguely, a faint sense of Zen quietly emerged.

At the same time, a thick and concentrated aura also emerged.

Once, twice, three times.

His movements are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes complex and sometimes simple.

His hands were also constantly changing the Buddhist seals that Hong Xiu had performed one by one.

Until a weird and unfamiliar handprint was used by him, a terrifying blood energy suddenly rose up all over his body.

There was a rushing sound inside the body, like the sound of a river flowing.

Hongxiu looked at this scene with shock.

Before, she had seen a bit of herself, or the shadow of Buddhism, in Li Chengqian's movements, but now, it was clear that he was in a position to innovate and recreate the world.

Could it be that he wanted to create a technique in such a short period of time that could rival the top Buddhist body-refining techniques?
