Chapter 481: Superfluous
There is a kind of person who, when he stays on the scene, is ignored like air, but when he is ready to leave, he is accused of ruining the atmosphere, so he can only stand there awkwardly as a spectator, watching the people he loaths perform to his heart's content.
Shangguan Hong is one of them.
He lost the only little trust of the Dragon King, but he did not get the attention of Jinpeng Castle, and after going around in a circle, he finally understood that starting from the teaching Mr. Zhang Ji, the Dragon King, Shangguan Jianyi, Shangguan Yun and others all regarded him as a tool, and it was a low-level tool that could be thrown away, and no one even expressed a little gratitude for what he had done.
Only in his twenties, Shangguan Hong has lost confidence in his whole life, and the struggle is too difficult for him, and the less he does, the safer it seems.
He lay in a humble tent, reminiscing about the fine wine he had drunk, and his mouth was full of sour taste, which reminded him that he had no money to buy bad wine, and that he had no friends in the dragon army since he had betrayed the dragon king and returned in disgrace, and the dragon king raised him like a pig, and the only supply was rough military rations.
He resents everyone, in this world of deceit, why is it that only his own efforts are not rewarded accordingly?
In order not to collapse himself, Shangguan Hong tried to dig out happy things from his memory, as if a gust of wind suddenly blew away the fog, and the image of Mrs. Meng appeared, blocking all the other women behind.
That vicious and ruthless bitch, the corners of Shangguan Hong's mouth turned up, full of malice and passion, recalling all the details of Mrs. Meng.
The world is different, still deceitful, still full of conquest and betrayal, but he is no longer a complete loser, he has capital to be proud of, a high-ranking and powerful woman, who once belonged to himself, this is the only peak in his life.
If you think about it carefully, Shangguan Hong didn't have much fun at that time, and Mrs. Meng treated him like a toy, even in bed, he had to dominate everything, he could only passively accept it in fear, trying to control his instincts, for fear that he would anger her if he was not careful.
Shangguan Hong didn't want this, he was like an engraver obsessed with his skills, skillfully processing his memory, so he became a conqueror, and the arrogant and beautiful Lady Meng begged and praised with the most humble and happy attitude.
It's so unreal that you can't even fool yourself.
Shangguan Hong was about to process his memories for the second time when his half-brother opened the curtain and entered uninvited.
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shangguan Hong who was lying on the couch in broad daylight.
"No, nothing, sleepy...... Get some sleep. Shangguan Hong was a little incoherent, improvisation has never been his forte, he would only arrange the bedding in a panic and meaninglessly, and suddenly reacted, this is his own residence, "What are you doing here?"
"Hmph. Shangguan Fei is not a child, in Biyu City, he also had a short life of debauchery, he knew the scene in front of him at a glance, and his heart was full of contempt, but he was much calmer, and said calmly: "The Dragon King asked you to do something with me." ”
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Hong got up, his clothes intact, not like he was sleeping.
"Just follow me. ”
The cold real world is back, Shangguan Hong is resentful, in the past, in the Dragon King, he at least had the same status as Shangguan Fei, but now he can only be a follower, and he doesn't dare to object.
Shangguan Fei brought two horses, and the two brothers left the barracks and drove towards the city, the Dragon King never took control measures against them, and they themselves did not dare to leave the Dragon King's protection range.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Shangguan Hong couldn't help but say: "There are many people in the city, but it's not safe. ”
"If you don't take risks, how can you do things for the Dragon King?"
Shangguan Hong was silent, although most of Anguo was in the hands of the Dragon Army, but the degree of defense was always strong in some places and weak in some places, and the Jinpeng killer was good at taking advantage of the weakness.
Shangguan Fei is not afraid, and there is no need to be afraid, Shangguan Hong comforted himself like this, and immediately thought that his martial arts were not as good as his younger brother, and he was afraid that he would not be able to run away from him in danger.
With a feeling of anxiety, Shangguan Hong followed closely behind Shangguan Fei.
There was a mess in the capital of Anguo.
Due to the influx of refugees, the population of the city suddenly increased several times, and everywhere was overcrowded, so the brothers could only dismount and slowly advance through the crowd.
At the door of a family's house, Shangguan Fei casually tied the reins to the bolted horse stone and quickly got into the crowd.
Shangguan Hong immediately did so, not letting Shangguan Fei get rid of him, the two horses were estimated to be stolen later, he thought, feeling a little sorry, it would be good to sell it for money, suddenly, he understood, Shangguan Fei wanted to get rid of him not him, but the stalker behind him.
His nervousness began to rise.
After turning five times and walking seven streets, Shangguan Fei returned to his normal walking speed.
Shangguan Hong was panting, and finally didn't lose it, "Did you get rid of it?"
"Who knows?"
"Where the hell are we going?"
"It's not far off. ”
Shangguan Fei's attitude was colder than before, and Shangguan Hong felt ashamed and did not confront him.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the two gradually went deep into the southeast corner of the capital, far away from the docks, the crowd was relatively not so dense, and the alley they walked into was almost empty.
Judging from the tall courtyard walls, the residents on both sides are either rich or expensive.
Shangguan Fei seemed to be very familiar with this place, and as he walked, he suddenly pushed open a corner door and entered generously, and there were no pedestrians in the alley at this time.
It's a garden, but you don't see the gardeners and the guards.
Shangguan Fei led the way, and the two came to an independent room, still pushing the door and entering, everything was prepared.
Even the food and drinks were prepared, very hearty, and steaming.
Shangguan Hong swallowed his saliva, no matter how good the memory was, it couldn't match the real smell of a glass of bad wine.
Shangguan Fei turned a blind eye to the food and muttered in a low voice, "Why haven't you come yet?"
"Who? Let's eat and wait. ”
Shangguan Hong sat down unceremoniously, and was about to pick up his wine glass when the door opened.
The vast majority of people in this world can't stop Shangguan Hong from drinking a glass of wine first, but this person can.
"Third brother, how are you ...... Are you here?" Shangguan Fei was surprised, all along, the people who contacted him were killers in the stone castle, and he had only seen Shangguan Yun at the beginning.
Shangguan Yun came in person, not only went deep into the rear of the dragon army, but also showed his true face, and he didn't even wear a long cloak.
Shangguan Hong stood up awkwardly, not knowing what to call it.
In terms of blood, this is also his third brother, but Shangguan Yun doesn't seem to regard him as a younger brother, the third young master likes to buy people's hearts so much, but he didn't bother to do anything about Shangguan Hong, just to pass on an inconsequential word, he threw him to the Dragon King in Huiguo.
Moreover, he was afraid of Shangguan Yun, most people could only see Shangguan Yun's charming and amiable side, but what Shangguan Hong felt was ruthlessness that went deep into the bone marrow.
"I didn't have anything to do in the barracks, so I came out for a walk. Shangguan Yun had a kind smile like a brother on his face, still ignoring Shangguan Hong.
"It's a pity I didn't bring good news. Shangguan Fei was slightly frustrated.
A pair of liars, Shangguan Hong thought angrily, as if there was really brotherhood, when it came to turning against him, no one would be soft, he just thought about it, but the expression on his face was the same as that of an obedient slave, he wondered what Shangguan Fei was going to do for the Dragon King, and what was the purpose of pulling himself here.
"It's okay, you just have to find a way to save her life, and when the war is over, she will speak. ”
Shangguan Hong didn't know whether "she" was a man or a woman, and what was the importance, and the familiar feeling arose again, he was redundant in this room, but he didn't dare to interject, and he didn't dare to move.
"The Dragon King saw through me and asked me to give you a message. Shangguan Fei said calmly, without the shame of failing the mission.
"Oh, the Dragon King has endured it for a long time, right? What does he want to tell me?" Shangguan Yun didn't seem to care.
"The Dragon King says he has a new weapon in his hand, and he wants to try it on the Temporal Warship of Jinpeng Castle, and hopes that when the time comes, you will get the whole ship out of the fjord. ”
Shangguan Hong was confused, and he couldn't figure out where the conspiracy was and what the trick was.
"I can try. Shangguan Yun easily agreed, "What new weapon is worth using by the Dragon King?"
"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with fire. ”
"Well, I hope this weapon can be effective, so that Shangguan Jianyi can sober up a little. ”
Shangguan Yun left, not touching the wine and food on the table.
Shangguan Hong became more and more shocked, why did Shangguan Yun agree to the Dragon King's hope? How could the Dragon King be sure that Shangguan Yun would agree? The most important thing is, what is the use of himself in this matter?
"It's over?" Shangguan Hong asked, and as soon as the third young master left, he felt a lot more comfortable.
"Well, let's go after eating. ”
"You called me here just to eat?"
"I called you here to be a witness, and I will return to the barracks later, and report to the Dragon King every word I said to the third brother. ”
This seems to be an arrangement that the Dragon King will make, Shangguan Hong is steady, tears off a chicken leg, bites off a large piece hard, picks up the wine glass, and drinks it all, "Hey, this wine is good." Brother, what do you want me to say to the Dragon King, I'm willing to do something for the Stone Castle. ”
"To tell you the truth, if you want to deceive the Dragon King, you don't have that ability. ”
Shangguan Hong just wanted to treat his own stomach, and he didn't care about ridicule at all, his mouth was stuffed with food, and he said vaguely: "Don't you want to eat some? ”
"I don't have an appetite. ”
If he was a little smarter, Shangguan Hong should have thought that there was something wrong with this wine and food, but he gave up on himself, feeling that he was a waste of people, and it was not worth bothering to do anything to him.
As soon as he was half-full, Shangguan Hong fainted, which was similar to the feeling of being drunk, so he did not panic and continued to eat and drink in his dreams.
The banquet seemed to never end, and his stomach was like a bottomless pit, and it would never be filled, but when he finally woke up, the hunger suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strong pain in his lower body, and the sound of Shangguan Fei faintly came from his ears.
"Dragon King, the queen needs to be employed, I will find you a eunuch. ”
