"It's you!" Lin Ze quickly recognized that the man in front of him was the porter who stopped Sima Cheng at Wang's house that day. Although he didn't see the other person's appearance clearly at the time, his body shape was the same.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "My name is Qin Shang. You can call me Protector Qin, or you can call me Mr. Qin."
Qin Shang? Lin Ze filtered the name in his mind. Without any impression, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "You saved me? Why did you save me?"
The other party was obviously with Sima Cheng, and he really couldn't understand why the other party wanted to save him.
"Haha, there's no special reason, I'm just more interested in you." Qin Shang grinned, and his eyes made Lin Ze feel a little hairy, "I asked Bai Su to take you there before, but she failed, so in the end I had to
It's up to me to take action myself. But this is really a troublesome thing. Do you know that if it weren't for me, you would have died a long time ago? And in order to save you, our plan was only half completed."
"Bai Su is yours?" Lin Ze was stunned.
Qin Shang tilted his face and thought seriously for a while, "Strictly speaking, she should be considered my subordinate."
"...I killed your men, and you still want to save me? Even at the risk of affecting your plan?" Lin Ze's face was confused, and he felt that his three views were a bit confused.
Qin Shang saw his doubts but did not explain. He just smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are really awesome. I thought you only mastered the sword intention of time, but I didn't expect that you could also master the sword intention of space, flames and trees."
You have mastered the sword intention, which is something I have never heard of, and the Sword Martial Arts Academy even sent out their sharpest sword for you, tsk tsk."
He actually knew!
Lin Ze was shocked. Wang Jian and the Invisible Extreme Sword were his biggest secrets. Even his master Nangong Qian reminded him repeatedly not to mention it to anyone. He originally thought that not many people knew about it in this era, but he didn't expect Qin
Shang actually knew clearly the sword intentions of the four invisible swords he mastered. How could he not be surprised?
If it were a trustworthy person, Lin Ze would probably discuss this type of sword intention with him at this time. However, Qin Shang's enemies and friends are unknown, and he would not dare to reveal his secrets casually, lest he reveal the existence of Wang Jian.
...He had a vague feeling that although Qin Shang knew about the Invisible Extreme Sword, he might not know about Wang Jian.
"What is the sharpest sword in the Sword Martial Arts Academy?" After a moment, Lin Ze asked another question in his mind.
Qin Shang didn't hide anything and said two words directly, "Wu Zhan."
"Wu Zhan?"
Qin Shang smiled calmly, "You are now a great hero. I have captured you again. It is natural for the Jianwu Academy to try to send people to rescue you, but the fact that they would send Wu Zhan is somewhat beyond my expectation... This guy
It was so powerful that I almost died in his hands."
As he spoke, Qin Shang tore off his coat, and there was a scar on his chest that was as deep as the bone.
Lin Ze didn't know Qin Shang's strength nor Wu Zhan's realm. He didn't feel anything about it and just asked: "What about Wu Zhan?"
"He's dead." Qin Shang put his clothes back on and said, "I chopped off his head with a knife. He's dead."
"Eh?!" Lin Ze was speechless. Wu Zhan... was actually dead?
Lin Ze still had a good impression of Wu Zhan, and strictly speaking, he was still his savior. Even without Wu Zhan, the entanglement with the Lou family at that time might not have been resolved so smoothly. But now, Wu Zhan has
Dying to save himself made Lin Ze feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you sad? In fact, I think you should be happy." Suddenly, Qin Shang said again, "Your vitality was completely overdrawn by the Sword of Wood. If you want to survive, you also need to possess the Sword of Wood.
A strong person with the will to maintain your life, and apart from me, it is difficult for you to find another person with the sword intention of wood. There is no one in Jin State, and there is no swordsmanship academy. It is precisely because I defeated Wu Zhan
, so you can survive, shouldn’t you be happy?”
"..." Lin Ze was suddenly speechless. It turned out that the reason why he was still alive was because of Qin Shang's sword intention.
Tap tap tap tap!
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from a distance. Lin Ze instinctively turned his head to look. Soon, the figure of a young man appeared in his field of vision.
After a while, this person came to Qin Shang, bowed and said: "Master."
Qin Shang nodded and introduced to Lin Ze: "This is my apprentice, Li Kun, whom you may have seen."
Lin Ze was a little puzzled, looked at Li Kun seriously for a few times, and then exclaimed: "General Li?!"
Lin Ze suddenly discovered that this Li Kun was actually a former general from the imperial capital of the Jin Kingdom. He had met him briefly because he was seriously injured by Sima Qingshuang. He never expected that such a person would be Qin Shang's apprentice.
...So, Li Kun betrayed Jin?
Li Kun turned around, smiled at Lin Ze and said, "Brother Lin, long time no see."
"It's only been a few days, but I really didn't expect that you would be a traitor." Lin Ze frowned.
Li Kun, however, did not take it seriously and smiled calmly: "Brother Lin misunderstood, I am not a traitor. I have been with my master since I was a child. Five years ago, I came to Jin to join the Imperial Guard according to my master's instructions.
Because of this action, I am not a traitor, at best I am just a spy."
Does it make a difference?
Lin Ze didn't know what to say, but he was really shocked that Qin Shang had arranged this incident five years ago.
However, before he could recover, Qin Shang pointed at him and suddenly said, "Li Kun, he will be your junior brother from now on. You should take more care of him on the way."
"Disciple understands." Li Kun replied respectfully.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Ze was shocked, "When did I say I wanted to be your apprentice?"
Qin Shang stared at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Do I need your permission to accept you as my disciple?"
"..." Lin Ze was speechless again.
"Master, my disciple felt Li Zhan's aura when he came here just now. Although he was deceived according to the method you taught me, I think he will react soon. I feel that it is no longer suitable to stay here for a long time." Li
Kun said.
Qin Shang nodded, "Well, your junior brother is awake anyway, and it's time for us to leave."
Lin Ze suddenly glared at him, "You said Li Zhan was killed by you!"
Qin Shang smiled calmly, "I lied to you."
After saying that, Qin Shang left without looking back.
Lin Ze was furious. When he heard the news that Li Zhan was dead, he felt really sad and guilty for a while, but he didn't expect... this old bastard!
With Qin Shang in front of him and Li Kun behind him, Lin Ze couldn't escape at all, and if he wanted to live, he had to rely on Qin Shang's sword power to stay alive, so he was scolded, but he could only follow Qin Shang.
Li Kun came up from behind and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you probably don't know that Master used to be a fraudster, so five out of ten sentences he said were false. It is also right to distinguish which sentences are true and which are false.
The test of our disciples.”
Test your sister!
Lin Ze cursed secretly in his heart and said: "I am not your junior brother."
Lin Ze complained, but Li Kun thought about it seriously, then nodded and said: "That's right. Master has a rule for accepting disciples. After becoming his disciple, those who have not completed the tasks entrusted by him will not be punished.
You are allowed to call him Master. It is only after I completed this mission that I can finally call Master Master. In the past, I used to call Master Qin, but since you have just started, you can only be considered half a junior disciple."
Listening to his serious tone, Lin Ze was speechless... What kind of broken rules are these?
"By the way, Junior Brother, your hair is quite unique." Li Kun suddenly pointed at his white hair and said.
