Chapter 733: Decision
Gu Shenwei didn't expect this matter to be mentioned again.
The old Khan King once claimed with great certainty that Gu Lun had a daughter and a son with the slave girl of Beiting who served him, and the slave girl was still alive.
Gu Shenwei never took this statement seriously, so he never looked for it seriously, and he had the impression that his father was old-fashioned and conservative, and by no means a womanizer, and that his mother treated her four children equally, and that she devoted more care to her younger son, not to mention raising offspring for other women.
Gu Shenwei had to explain to the military advisor the reason why he might accept the challenge, "Things have changed, he stabbed more than seventy cavalrymen, and the whole army was shocked, I can't turn a blind eye, and besides, he is in collusion with Xiaoyuetang, and I can't sit idly by." ”
The old Khan King is not the kind of person who gossips everywhere, and the one who can take this female slave seriously must be Xiaoyuetang.
Fang Wen understood these two reasons, but he still kept shaking his head, "Please think twice, the Dragon King is now the commander of the First Army and the King of Beiting, rashly accepting the challenge of the characters in the rivers and lakes is definitely not the best policy, winning is not martial, defeating is humiliating, the head of Qingcheng is really so powerful, do you have to take action from the Dragon King himself?"
Personal guards usually don't speak, but Tie Linglong is an exception, "Let me compete with the head of Qingcheng instead of the Dragon King, and tattooing on my forehead is not a great kung fu." ”
Since someone started, Nie Zeng also said: "I heard that this head of Qingcheng is not Liu Qingpu. ”
Fang Wen looked at the two teenagers in surprise, "Don't be nosy, you two ...... What are you talking about? The head of the Qingcheng faction is not Liu Qingpu, is there no way to have two heads?"
Shangguan Yun said that he knew the head of Qingcheng, and his martial arts were not as strong as the tattoo. ”
"What does Shangguan Yun know?"
"He knows. Gu Shenwei found that he had overlooked an important source of information, "He used to travel to the Central Plains in the early years, and he invited helpers from the Qingcheng faction last year, so he should be very familiar with it." ”
"It's a mess, 'Qingcheng Boss', there is not even a surname in the back, what kind of tricks are you playing?" Fang Wen shook his head more often.
The tricks of the Qingcheng faction were revealed early the next morning.
Fan Yongda of the Kongtong faction returned to the barracks with a body of blood, and after being rescued by Doctor Sun with all his might, he could not speak after an hour, and he was about to see the Dragon King immediately.
"The Qingcheng faction is fighting. "Fan Yongda was slashed at least nine times, although it was not fatal, but he shed a lot of blood and looked very weak.
Tu Gou kept by his nephew's side and asked, "Who did you fight with?"
"They fought on their own. ”
Tu Gou opened his mouth wide in surprise, not quite understanding what his nephew meant.
Different from the master and uncle who practiced in retreat all the year round, Fan Yongda often walked the rivers and lakes, and he actually knew a lot about the Qingcheng faction, and he didn't say all of them when the Dragon King asked, one of them was that the head of Liu Qingpu was extremely doting on his only son Liu Fangsheng.
Deng Yuanlei, as a senior brother, should have carefully protected Liu Fangsheng, but escaped alone at a critical moment, which is an unforgivable felony, but he can still challenge the Dragon King on behalf of the head of Qingcheng, Fan Yongda pondered that there must be something wrong here.
Fan Yongda's contact with the martial arts people in the Central Plains was not interrupted, so he quickly found the camp where the Qingcheng faction settled, and as a result, the two "Qingcheng heads" competed for the position of the main heir, and the quarrel quickly turned into a fight, and both sides invited helpers, so the fight turned into a scuffle again.
Fan Yongda was injured in the melee.
"Two heads, one is Liu Qingpu, right? What about the other?" asked Tu Gou.
"The other surname is Lu. ”
"The surname is Lu, is it the old head Lu Tong? He died a long time ago, I know this. ”
"It's not the old master, it may be his son and nephew, in his thirties, swordsmanship...... It was the highest sword technique I've ever seen, and he had the upper hand as I fled. ”
This head Lu is the one who issued the challenge, and Gu Shenwei began to understand some things.
Tu Gou sighed repeatedly, "The Qingcheng faction is also considered a famous and decent family, and the shame is thrown to the North Garden, who is the head of the sect can't stay in Qingcheng Mountain to solve it?"
"They all came for the head of the old Khan. Gu Shenwei asked Fan Yongda on the bed, "The Kongtong faction does things for Wei Song, which one is the backer of the Qingcheng faction?"
"It is said that the Qingcheng faction took refuge in Luojiazhuang in Hedong, and the Luo family has rich connections in the court, and Liu Qingpu probably takes a fancy to this......"
As long as it is a martial arts person in the Central Plains, there is no one who does not know Hedong Luojiazhuang, Gu Shenwei has heard many rumors since he was a child, and knows that it is one of the nine major sects, and the difference is that half of the family members learn martial arts and compete strongly, and the other half of them learn to be officials, and they are all famous in temples and rivers and lakes, but they never admit that they are "sects".
Before Tu Gou could figure out the complicated relationship between them, Fan Yong stood up and continued: "The Luo family wants the head of the old Khan King, and they are embarrassed to come, so they let the Qingcheng faction do it for them, and they also made a head of Lu to let the two sides compete." ”
"The Locke family is bad enough. Tu Gou was very disdainful, "Dragon King, you can't hand over the head of the Old Khan King to the Qingcheng faction." ”
The Locke family is not only bad, but also very smart, Gu Shen said a few words for An Wei, and returned to his tent.
Azheba and Morin were waiting for him.
Tomorrow the chamberlains will have to fight the alliance of the kings, and Azheba's attempts to convert the cavalry have had little success, so he came up with a bold idea, "Please bring out the body and head of the old Khan, and bury them by the close attendants themselves, so that they can understand that the old khan is a man and not a god......
Mo Lin had already been persuaded by him, "It is my sin that I can hand over my head and let the old Khan King's body be in a different place, since the Dragon King and Xiaoyuetang do not share the sky, it is useless for me to keep my head anymore." ”
"A large number of Central Plains martial arts people poured into the Dragon Court, all of whom came to grab their heads. Gu Shenwei reminded.
"Don't think about it, the old Khan belongs to the steppe, and I will never allow anyone to take his head away. "This is Morin's bottom line, although he is not as religious as the soldiers of the close guard, he is not less.
"It may be an idea, but it will be over tomorrow. ”
"But......" Azheba was a little anxious, the battle was the dragon king's plan to kill people with a sword, and after tomorrow, a large number of close servants might die again.
"Tomorrow is the battle of the whole army. Gu Shenwei said simply.
Azheba understood what the dragon king meant, and the 30,000 cavalry other than the close servants would also be put into battle, which meant that the execution of "killing people with a sword" would be suspended.
Azheba retired, and whether burying the old Khan king really had such a great effect, he actually had no confidence at all.
Morin stayed, "I've heard many rumors about the Central Plains. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Rumor has it that they will force the dragon king to accept a joust, and the stake will be the head of the old Khan. ”
"Do you see the handwriting on the foreheads of those cavalrymen?" Gu Shenwei did not answer directly.
"See, this Qingcheng head is indeed a great master. ”
"Do you think you're his opponent?"
Morin was silent for a moment, "I never knew what level my sword skills were, I only knew that in the face of different enemies, sword skills would go up and down. ”
Morin is a native of Beiting, but like the Dragon King, he improves his martial arts by killing rather than studying hard.
For the rest of the day, Gu Shen was fully preparing for the next day's battle with the military advisor, Fang Wen couldn't help but shake his head, and whenever there was no one around, he would whisper to the Dragon King: "If you don't start ruthlessly now, you will definitely regret it in the future, the close service is a stone, no one can swallow it, Dragon King, make a decision immediately." ”
Gu Shenwei didn't answer most of the time, and his occasional justification was only a short sentence, "Destroy the Holy King first." ”
The messenger of the Holy King arrived in the evening, and soon after leaving, the contents of the letter spread in the barracks, which made Fang Wen very annoyed and even more convinced that this was the conspiracy of the Holy King.
The king knew that the alliance of the kings would not win tomorrow's battle, so he made a suggestion on behalf of the five kings - it was also a contest.
"The Holy King was bought by the Central Plains. Fang Wen was a little angry, because the suggestion of the Holy King was warmly echoed by the soldiers, "He will definitely not play in person, and he sent the Central Plains master to challenge, despicable and shameless, the Dragon King should expose the insidious purpose of the Central Plains people who want to steal the head of the old Khan King, so that the soldiers can understand that whoever uses the martial arts of the Central Plains people is a traitor." ”
"The letter of the holy king makes it very clear that it is only a bow and arrow, not a sword and a spear. Gu Shenwei reminded.
"Isn't there anyone in the Central Plains who can play with bows and arrows?"
"It won't be better than the people of the North Garden. ”
Fang Wen was still unconvinced, "There is a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy here, and it is related to the challenge of the head of Qingcheng, it can't be so coincidental, if you want to compete, he will also compete." ”
Of course, things will not be so coincidental, between the Holy King and the head of the Qingcheng Sect, there is a line connected by Xiaoyue Hall, Gu Shenwei vaguely saw the appearance of the lotus girl, this is her game.
Gu Shenwei did not make a decision immediately, and continued to demand an all-arms war, and took the time to meet Shulitu.
When the Dragon King himself came to ask for advice, Shulitu was surprised, but he did have a little thought in his heart, "The conditions put forward by the King of the Saints are very tempting: if we lose, let the kings and the alliance have a way to live, and let them go back to their headquarters, and if he loses, the whole army will surrender and give up the king's title." ”
Indeed, even Fang Wen was a little moved by this, he suspected that the Holy King had a way to win.
Shu Litu's eyes drooped slightly, "The Dragon King is still worried about the close attendants?"
"They grew emboldened and demanded that I hand over the aristocratic officers who had fled. ”
"I am more worried than the Dragon King, the Servants' worship and allegiance to the Old Khan King has gone astray, and victory will only make them more proud, and it would be a good thing if they could really end the war through a contest. ”
"Are you familiar with the Old Khan King?" Gu Shenwei asked, having already made a decision in his heart.
"No, I've only met him once at a very young age, and my later impressions are all from hearsay, and I don't know which ones are true and which ones are exaggerated. ”
"Merlin is well acquainted with the old Khan. ”
"He is the most trusted wingguard, and there is probably no one in the entire Northern Court who is more familiar with the Old Khan King than he is. ”
"You should have more contact with Maureen. ”
Shulitu's eyes widened slightly, he vaguely guessed the dragon king's intentions, but he couldn't believe it, "I'm just a puppet." ”
"There are many kinds of golems, and I need a more useful one. ”
"You want me to take the place of the old Khan?"
"The old Khan King ascended to heaven, you have to leave something in the world, you are the carrier of these things, you are the reborn old Khan King. ”
Shulitu was so bewildered that he couldn't say a word.
"I decided to take the tournament. Gu Shenwei said his decision by the way before leaving.
