Chapter 1143: The Mole
Everyone consciously or unconsciously sets up multiple lines of defense in their hearts, and these lines of defense are usually one-time surnames, and after being breached, they will never be restored: the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are proud, and once they kneel down on one leg to the Dragon King, they immediately become accustomed to it, and even feel that it is a matter of course.
Many years ago, on the grassland of Beiting, nearly a thousand people knelt down to pay allegiance to Gu Shenwei, some of them forgot about it afterwards, and the line of defense in their hearts was still there, but a few people regarded this kneeling as a very formal act, even if the years passed, it could not be diluted.
"I saw the internal annihilation among you. Gu Shenwei said that the first impression of the more than 50 prisoners was the closest to the correct one, and he knew that the flaws would only appear at this moment.
He has a wealth of experience in how to feel the mood changes of the crowd, and after six years, these experiences can still come in handy.
Some of them had already made a kneeling posture, but under the influence of the people around them, they stood up straight again, with expressions of fear and doubt on their faces, but in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the crowd changed, and more than fifty people knelt down almost at the same time, and no one felt that they were affected by others.
That's enough, Gu Shenwei already knows which people have really been to Beiting and received their favors under the threat of arrows, and some people are full, they may be Zhou Huaiyu's so-called internal annihilation, or they may be the "jokes" made by various sects with Gu Shenwei.
"But these internal annihilations have not done irreparably wrong. Gu Shenwei turned sideways and did not accept everyone's kneeling, "Lin Xiaoshan is indeed sent to the Central Plains by me, you have tried to save him, this is enough, I am very grateful, no one owes me any more kindness." Your leaders will hand over the power of disposal to me, but I don't have this qualification, you are from the Central Plains, and you still have to be disposed of by the factions of the Central Plains. ”
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that the dragon king would stand up for them like in the North Garden, but they didn't expect it to be pushed all away, and they felt quite bored in their hearts.
Cheng Yi walked from the door of the water pavilion and said from a distance: "Gu Gongzi has exempted you from the obligations you promised back then, what other kindness is greater than this?"
Everyone wanted to kneel down again to thank him, Gu Shen simply turned his back for this time, shook his head at Cheng Yi and said: "These people have suffered a lot of grievances because of me, not to mention that I have already given up the title of Dragon King, and the so-called kindness of the year has been written off, and they have nothing to owe me, so I can't mention the word 'kindness' again." Their own sect leaders are all on the scene, and I am not qualified to deal with it. ”
The two humbled each other, and the "prisoners" were at a loss for what to do, so they could only stand there and watch.
The more Tie Linglong looked at it, the more puzzled he became, the Dragon King liked to win people's hearts the most, even if the other party was once an enemy, he would not let go of any opportunity, why did he become humble when he arrived in the Central Plains?
She cast an inquiring glance at Chu Nanping, who was looking at Gu Shenwei with great interest, as if he understood and appreciated his current behavior very much.
Xiao Chu could see Brother Gu's true thoughts, but she was confused, Tie Linglong was a little annoyed, and held the handle of the knife tighter.
Gu Shenwei and Cheng Yi were still arguing, and the more Zhou Huaiyu listened, the more angry he became, thinking that the Dragon King was really hypocritical, and it would definitely not be wrong to secretly collude with the Ten Directions Sect, so he took a few steps forward to interrupt the conversation, "Cheng Jiuye, Gu Gongzi, please forgive me for talking too much, the most important thing at the moment doesn't seem to be handled by anyone...... These people, but to find the internal annihilation, just now Gu Gongzi didn't say that he 'saw' the internal annihilation? ”
"These so-called internal annihilations have not done anything unfavorable to the rivers and lakes, I think they are just being bewitched for a while and will correct themselves. Gu Shenwei's tone became more and more gentle.
Zhou Huaiyu shook his head, "Gu Gongzi's words are wrong, if it is in normal times, more things are better than less, as long as you don't commit a big rebellious crime, you can be magnanimous, but now it is a time of crisis, the Ten Directions Sect has attacked the capital, and the killers of the Western Regions are secretly peeping, and you must not raise tigers for trouble, and the internal annihilation should be eradicated in advance." ”
Gu Shenwei looked a little embarrassed, "Although I was born in the Central Plains, I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I am already a native of the Western Regions, and I am really not qualified to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains. ”
Zhou Huaiyu had to insist on his own opinion, and said to Cheng Yi: "Ninth Master, what do you think? I thought it would be better to find out the internal annihilation immediately, but Gu Gongzi wanted to open the net. ”
"I'm not opening up to the internal annihilation network, I just don't want the Jianghu sect that has just been united to regenerate the rift. Gu Shenwei corrected, "With all due respect, Zhou Gongzi should be as cautious as me, there doesn't seem to be a Kongtong faction among these people, right?"
"Nope. "Zhou Huaiyu doesn't look at it, he is the only Kongtong faction inside and outside Chengjiazhuang.
"Hmm. Gu Shenwei didn't say it anymore.
Zhou Huaiyu's face was slightly red, and Gu Shenwei was clearly pointing out that he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, and the internal annihilation wheel was not on the head of the Kongtong faction, so he was so active.
Cheng Yi had already received hints from several important leaders, laughed a few times, and said, "Gu Gongzi doesn't need to be too cautious, since everyone already believes that you have nothing to do with the Ten Directions Sect and the Western Regions Killer, you will no longer be suspicious." Master Zhou's nephew is right, prevention is better than prevention, and the sooner the internal annihilation is eradicated, the better. Although Gu Gongzi pointed out, no matter which sect is involved, I believe that the head of the sect will only be grateful, and will never hold grudges. ”
Gu Shenwei looked around, and dozens of leaders and gang leaders had to open their mouths, claiming that as long as they found out that they would not tolerate internal annihilation, they would only be grateful and not blamed for Gu Gongzi.
Gu Shenwei is good at observing words and feelings, and there is no shortage of ** lakes among Cheng Yi and others, they can see that Gu Shenwei really does not know these "prisoners", and the so-called "seeing internal annihilation" is just a way to shirk responsibility.
Tie Linglong was even more puzzled, Gu Shenwei hadn't even mentioned that there would be such a group of prisoners before coming to Chengjiazhuang, at first glance, how could she find out the internal annihilation from it? The hand holding the knife relaxed, and her eyes swept over the faces of the more than fifty people, and she didn't find the slightest flaw......
"Since that's the case......" Gu Shenwei looked very embarrassed, but he still walked to the crowd and said, "I'm going to offend, but fortunately, there are not many people in the house, and I have nothing to do with others." ”
"We hate internal annihilation the most, so let's point it out. Someone immediately spoke, for fear that the slightest hesitation would be regarded as internal annihilation.
Gu Shenwei lowered his head, still looking very embarrassed, suddenly raised his head, and pointed at one person without hesitation and said, "You are an internal annihilation." ”
The man was taken aback, jumped up a few feet high, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Gu Shenwei didn't see it, his fingers were connected, and he pointed out a total of five internal annihilators in the blink of an eye.
The "prisoners" immediately stepped back, leaving the five men in front.
"Well, let's do that first. Gu Shenwei said, turned to Zhou Huaiyu and said, "I'll leave it to you." ”
It was only at this time that a black-faced man in his thirties shouted angrily: "Gu Engong, although we were deceived by the annihilation people, we are also bent on repaying your kindness, you say that I am an internal annihilation, what evidence is there?"
"Do you still need to come up with evidence?" asked Cheng Yi for Gu Shenwei.
"Well, I naturally believe Gu Gongzi, but I still have to show evidence to be able to convince the public. ”
"Okay. Gu Shenwei said to the black-faced man: "You call me 'Engong', that is to be to Beiting?"
"Of course, there are people who testify......"
"You don't need others to testify, just answer me a few questions, how many competitions were there that day? Who were the participants? What clothes did I wear? What weapons did I use? How many people were killed? Who were the Central Plains people who were killed?"
The black-faced man was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandered, and he said after a moment: "It's been too long, and some things can't be remembered, so compare ...... In several scenes, you used the Western Regions knife to kill ...... Killed many people, killed the Central Plains people...... I remember that there was Senior Brother Shen Yongjiu of the Kongtong faction and an elder of the Yuqing faction...... and Uncle Lu Tianfeng of the Kunlun faction. ”
In the competition that year, Shen Yongjiu and Lu Tianfeng were the most famous, although the elders of the Yuqing faction had a high status, their reputation was not significant, and the black-faced man couldn't remember which one died.
Zhou Huaiyu had been listening, and couldn't help but interject: "I almost forgot that Gu Gongzi had killed many Central Plains martial arts masters in Beiting. ”
The heads of several sects and ** all showed indignation, especially the Qingcheng and Yuqing factions, they actually never forgot.
Gu Shenwei said coldly: "You still forgot one thing, these Central Plains masters are fighting for the prince of Beiting. ”
Cheng Yi hurriedly said: "The matter of Beiting is too complicated, there is no need to mention it again, Gu Gongzi only said that this answer is correct, right?"
Gu Shenwei stared at the black-faced man and asked, "After the end of the competition that day, I said a sentence, that sentence was not long, everyone repeated it with me a few times, I guess you remember?
"Huh?" the black-faced man's expression was unnatural, and he wanted to turn his head for help, but forcibly held back, "It's been too long, I forgot." ”
"You've never been to the North Court at all. Gu Shenwei said sharply, not giving the black-faced man a chance to defend himself, and took a few steps back, "The five of you have never been to the North Court, let alone participated in the Battle of Shiliping, you let out the rumors, deliberately got caught, and then mixed among the captives to inquire around, the things in the North Court were all asked by you in the last few days, right?"
Before the five of them could speak, the "prisoners" behind them had already come to their senses, pointed to the five of them and said, "That's right, he asked me about it, and pretended to be reminiscing about the past, but in fact he didn't know anything, I was talking about it." ”
There are more and more similar accusations, and the five have long been unable to argue.
"What does this prove?" Zhou Huaiyu was also a little flustered, "Maybe ......"
"Whether it's allowed or not, you decide for yourself, I said, this is the affairs of the Central Plains Sect, and I won't interfere. Gu Shen softened his voice and bowed his hand to Cheng Yi: "I am very happy to be able to reconcile with your leaders today, I will leave, I don't have to send it far, if there is any news about the Ten Directions Sect and the killer of the Western Regions, please feel free to inform me." ”
Cheng Yi was stunned for a while, Gu Shenwei had already walked more than a dozen steps, and then he shouted: "Gu Gongzi, wait a minute, there are still things to discuss......
Tie Linglong and Chu Nanping caught up, the two knew that Gu Shenwei had to leave for some reason, and at the same time, they were still very puzzled, they were all there when the Dragon King rescued people in the North Court, and no one remembered that he had said impressive words afterwards.
Gu Shenwei had to go, and he suddenly found that the situation was more urgent than he had imagined. (To be continued.) )
