The assassination was scheduled for midnight, and the apprentices began early in their preparations, arranging their night clothes, wiping their knives, and practicing the use of drugs.

When he killed the lord Shangguan Yu, he treated Huan Nu as a servant, ordered him to do all kinds of menial work, clean the snow in the courtyard, scrub the utensils in various rooms, and made fun of him for returning again last night in vain at every opportunity.

Gu Shenwei didn't express his suspicions, his suggestion would only have the opposite effect in front of Shangguan Yushi, and when it was almost noon, he was wiping the cabinet in a room, and the lotus girl finally found a chance to come in alone.

"Listen, tonight's assassination is a trap. ”

Time was pressing, Gu Shenwei said the conclusion as soon as he saw the lotus girl, the lotus girl did not show a surprised look, she was like the apprentice during the murder, willing to be the assistant and staff officer of the leader's side, nodded, indicating that she understood the meaning of Huan Nu.

"Tonight the Ten Dragons will not only have seven leaders and twelve guards, but they will also have a large number of archers, who will hide in the empty wine jar outside the house, and when you enter, you will come out, and the houses there are very rudimentary, all thatched roofs, I guess they will set fire to them first, and then they will stand outside and shoot arrows. ”

"Is there a traitor in the castle who betrays us?" The lotus girl has always been silent, and at this time she also showed a surprised expression, Jinpeng Castle is the largest killer organization in the Western Regions and even the world, who would act as a traitor for an insignificant small gang.

"If you die there, the traitor is me. Gu Shenwei had already figured out the whole thing, only the last little bit was missing, "There will be someone who proves that I talked to the old dragon head, I don't know where, and there is a sum of silver that is nominally owned by me, this trap is perfect." ”

"Is it Mr. Guo? He still wants to kill you, and he doesn't hesitate to take twenty killer apprentices and a rain boy?"

"It's him, but you don't catch it, I am. Look at the surviving people of the Arm Slave Gang, almost all of them are the minions of the second young master, the sixth young master, and the eighth young master. Mr. Guo is a close confidant of the eldest young master, and he must have thought that we intended to eradicate the apprentices of his faction, so he wanted to take revenge. ”

"You're right, it is said that Mustang intends to swear allegiance to the second young master, and Liuhua seems to have been taken away by the sixth young master. ”

Someone walked by outside the door, and Gu Shenwei waited for no sound outside before saying, "Find a way to remind Yu Gongzi, don't say that this is my guess." ”

The lotus girl left, Gu Shenwei breathed a sigh of relief, I only hoped that Shangguan Yushi would not be too stupid, the world is unpredictable, he has long had the idea of getting rid of this little female demon, and now there is a great opportunity in front of him, but he has to find a way to save her life.

The man who came out of the Xu family must be the watchdog of Jinpeng Castle, and he will prove that Huan Nu had a private conversation with Lao Longtou, and that Lao Longtou's son prostituting Xu Yanwei was just a scene, even if Huan Nu did not interfere, he would deliberately find fault and fight when leaving, in order to let Lao Longtou come to the door reasonably.

It's all acting, the Xu family's sisters and brothers, the old dragon's head, and the dragon's tooth are all acting.

Gu Shenwei had already wiped the surface of the cabinet as smooth as a mirror, and he was still subconsciously continuing to wipe it around, thinking about it in his mind all the time.

As soon as it was dark, Shangguan Yushi summoned everyone, Gu Shenwei carried a rag in his hand, watching her check the outfits of each apprentice seriously, he also saw the flowing flowers in the corner, after putting on the night clothes, this marksman looked thinner than others, and the short bow in his hand was like a toy, and he couldn't see any lethality.

Liuhua once attempted to assassinate the Lotus Girl, Gu Shenwei looked at the Lotus Girl again, she happened to also glance at him, her eyes were calm and calm, which meant that she had successfully instilled the necessary information to the killer Shangguan Yushi, this is her strength, she will make these thoughts as if Yu Gongzi came up with it herself.

The assassination team set off, and Gu Shenwei was the only one left in the courtyard, and he had to put the remaining weapons and sundries in order, and wait for the twenty-one people who returned from victory to return to the stone fort together.

The work was quickly done, and Gu Shenwei walked into the courtyard, it was a silent winter night, silent, cold enough to freeze the most excited blood, so quiet that he could hear the beating of his heart.

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, and my heart pounded against my chest, almost forcing the blood out of my body.

Oops!

Gu Shenwei threw the already frozen rag on the ground, returned to the house, grabbed a narrow knife, and ran out of the yard frantically, hoping to catch up with the assassination team.

The streets and alleys of Nancheng are full of twists and turns, and the people who are anxious are annoyed by the turns, and Gu Shenwei sticks to the wall, letting those guests who buy wine and spring walk forward quickly.

From a distance, there was no fire at the gathering point of the Ten Dragons Gang, and he still had time to correct his original mistake.

Gu Shenwei didn't go straight to the destination, this was the killer instinct trained in Dongbao, even if the situation was critical, he had to go around in circles to check the surrounding situation.

The courtyard of the Ten Dragons Gang is located on the edge of the city, away from the city walls, backed by the wilderness, and a hundred steps away from the nearest house, which is indeed a good place to set fire to kill.

The fifteenth day of the month is the day when the seven leaders meet, and there are no drunkards on this day, so the closer you get to this place, the fewer pedestrians on the road.

Gu Shenwei detoured a slightly circuitous alley, and climbed over several low walls on the way, but found no trace of the assassination team.

At the end of the alley was a dead end, and Gu Shenwei had to climb another wall to return to the road leading to the Ten Dragons Gang, and just as he was about to jump, he was attacked by a sneak attack.

Many times, intuition helped the master to detect the attack in advance, but this time he was lazy, and Gu Shenwei was defenseless, so he could only roll on the spot and dodge in embarrassment.

The raiders showed mercy.

"What's going on?" asked the man who couldn't see in the dark.

"He's from the fort. The black-clad sneak attacker under the low wall whispered, sword in hand.

This is not a killer apprentice, but a regular killer, Gu Shenwei fell to the ground motionless and did not dare to move, and made up the last missing link in this conspiracy in his heart: how to kill people afterwards.

There are two assassination teams, one is an apprentice, and there is a team of real killers hidden behind it, after the apprentice is killed, the killers will implement a backup plan to kill all the people in the Ten Dragons Gang.

The Jinpeng Castle killers have never left a living mouth, and Mr. Guo doesn't even need to make special arrangements, the killers won't know that they have become tools of conspiracy, they are just performing a normal mission.

"Kill him. A voice in the darkness said that the order they had received was clear, regardless of whether the trespasser was an apprentice or not.

"Wait, I'm part of the assassination team. Gu Shenwei hurriedly said.

If there were people arranged by Mr. Guo among the killers, they would definitely kill Huan Nu without hesitation, but no one did anything, including the killer under the wall, who was only holding a narrow knife, but had no intention of moving forward.

"Why did you stay behind?" the Killer in the Darkness was clearly the leader, and he had been the one to speak.

"I ...... There are tasks, and this is part of the plan, and I can't disclose them. You're a backup killer, why did you come out so early? We failed before it was your turn. ”

The more Gu Shenwei spoke, the more confident he became, and finally simply stood up and patted the snow off his body.

There was no sound in the darkness for a few moments, and when he spoke again, the killer looked impatient, "Go." ”

I don't know who this order is for, the knife-wielding killer under the wall disappeared over the wall, and Gu Shenwei also jumped over the wall and turned into the path to the gathering point of the Ten Dragons Gang.

The earthen walled courtyard was not far away, and the lights in the courtyard were as small as mustard.

Gu Shen was calm, he had organized many group assassinations in Dongbao, and he had also learned in detail about the large-scale assassination routine of wild horses, and it was estimated that Shangguan Yu must have received a lot of help from wild horses.

Therefore, most of the apprentices must be hiding in the wilderness behind the gathering point, and they must be very close to the courtyard, maybe even under the wall, and there must be at least one person on the left and right sides of the courtyard to listen to the guards in the courtyard, and one person must monitor the way.

Gu Shenwei roughly guessed Shangguan Yushi's plan of action, so he turned right, avoided the path, and walked forward in the snow, there was a row of suspicious footprints on the ground, as if left by the killer apprentices.

There were a few dead trees standing dozens of steps away from the gathering point, Gu Shenwei went around to the back of the tree, and looked carefully, this day was fifteen, the moonlight was exceptionally cold and bright, and there was a black thing on a dead tree, like a big bird's nest, Gu Shenwei knew that it was the apprentice in charge of monitoring.

This person was not important, Gu Shenwei didn't want to disturb him, and continued to approach the courtyard in a huge arc, bending lower, slowing down, looking like a small beast foraging in the snow from a distance.

He wasn't prepared to shout out to the apprentices about the trap unless he had to, as doing so would only cost him sabotage.

There was a protrusion in the snow in front of him, which was not abnormal in itself, but he could see the situation in the courtyard from that position, Gu Shenwei lay behind and looked at it for a while, and made sure that it was an apprentice, just alone, and there were no companions around.

Gu Shenwei got closer, and found that the apprentice was still motionless, he was probably a little nervous, and all his thoughts were on the direction of the courtyard, ignoring the protection behind him.

Gu Shenwei came closer, grabbed the snow ball and threw it gently, and the snow-like white protrusions suddenly moved.

"Me. Gu Shenwei whispered, raising his head slightly to let the other party recognize him.

The apprentice, who was a member of the Arm Slave Gang and is now one of the enthusiasts, was very surprised to see Huan Nu.

Gu Shen crawled over for the cat's waist and said a few words close to the apprentice's ear, the apprentice nodded, he believed in the judgment of the original "helper", but he reminded Huan Nu in a low voice, "Be careful, there is another person on the other side, it is a closed mouth." ”

Gu Shenwei wasn't too worried about Liuhua, what he was worried about was how to explain to Shangguan Yu later.

He made a low-level mistake, there would be no archers buried in the wine jar, and only special weather would make the killer apprentice ignore the sound of breathing inside, Mr. Guo would naturally think of this, a strategist of his level would not allow such an uncontrollable factor in the plan.

The jar that was empty last night must be filled with wine to-night, not as bad as vinegar and sour, but spirits that ignite at the sight of fire, and it is placed in a circle around the courtyard wall, and there may be dry wood on it, and the twenty-one assassins will set fire to it as soon as they enter the courtyard, and the ambushers will set fire to it and sweep it all down.
