Only the illusory in the world is real, and the so-called truth is just a certain side of the illusory, and Gu Shenwei deeply understands this.

Shangguan Yushi may be lying, what Mustang said may not be true, he expects Shigongzi to regain his strength, and his impatient mood is almost the same as Huan Nu, Mustang is born to be a killer leader, eager for a broad space to play, and never wants his master to sleep at the bottom of the valley.

That night, it was Gu Shenwei's turn to be on duty, and although he lived in the safety of the northern city, the killers were still habitually vigilant, and he squatted on a large tree in the middle of the courtyard, his black cloak made him almost merge with the trunk, and from a distance, it looked like a tree nodule or an abandoned bird's nest.

From this location, you can have a panoramic view of the small house, and when the moon is bright and the stars are thin and the air is clear, you can even see the situation in the streets and alleys outside.

The night in the north city is much quieter than in the south city, there are no pedestrians on the street before the second watch, and there is no disturbance of silk and bamboo vocal music and fist fighting, as if it is an empty city.

Gu Shen is dedicated to his duties, he doesn't think about anything in his head, he concentrates on monitoring everything around him, he is a killer, he knows when to use his brain, when he needs to use his eyes and a knife.

So as soon as Shangguan Ru went out of the room, he found out.

Shangguan Ru was wearing a white robe, his hair neatly tied up, like a ghost who loved the moonlight, floating silently.

Gu Shenwei immediately became vigilant, if Shangguan wanted to break into a place at night, he had to secretly follow behind to ensure her safety, and at the same time, he had to dissuade her from messing around in Beicheng again.

As a result, he thought wrongly, Shangguan Ru took off his white robe, revealing a black coat inside, and then pulled out a wooden knife and danced the knife around the big tree in the middle of the courtyard.

The sword wind is sassy, like a thousand trees withering.

This is a set of knife techniques that Gu Shenwei does not recognize, and the children of the Shangguan family have learned more than ordinary apprentices, but this set of knife techniques does not seem to be lethal, it is more like an exercise to stretch their muscles and bones.

Gu Shenwei looked at it for a while and understood the purpose of Shangguan Ru's knife dance, which was the knife technique she practiced with Shangguan Yushi.

Shangguan Ru finished dancing the whole set of knife techniques, sighed, the tip of the knife hung low, leaned against the tree, raised his head slightly, as if looking at the starry sky from afar, and suddenly said, "Do you recognize the stars?"

"I don't recognize it. Gu Shenwei on the tree was silent for a while before replying, "I can recognize the Big Dipper." ”

"What I practice is the Seven Star Knife Technique, there are a total of seven variations, my favorite is 'Yuheng', because its name is good, and there is another one called 'Shaking Light', which is also good. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two chatted for a while, most of the time Shangguan Ru was talking, she didn't have a fixed topic, what to think of, Gu Shen was perfunctory, and kept thinking about the true intentions of the tenth prince, whether he wanted to remember the rain boy together, or wanted to get the killer's re-oath.

Not like that.

"What else do you know about the lone thief?" Shangguan Ru somehow changed the subject.

Gu Shenwei told a story of the "Red Batgirl" in order to encourage Shangguan Ru to steal the Six Killings Palace, but she didn't expect her to remember it.

"In fact, there are not many real lone thieves, just like 'Red Batgirl', who is said to be a person, but in fact, there must be an organization behind it, but it is just easy not to show up. ”

Gu Shenwei is much more mature than before, and no longer believes in the statement of stealing the palace single-handedly.

"Not much, but always, right?"

"Yes. Gu Shen thought for a while, and picked out one of the many anecdotes he had heard when he was a child, "In the early years, there was a 'hairless ghost' who was a famous lone thief. ”

"Hairless? ”

"Yes, but he's very good, and he's never been caught, and no one even knows if he's a man or a woman, old or young. ”

"Is he more powerful than 'Red Batgirl'?"

"That's not necessarily, the things stolen by the hairless ghost are more special, and the light skills are not bad, and the government did not specifically arrest him. ”

"What is so worthless that even the government doesn't care?"

"Hair. ”

"Hair?"

"Well, hairless ghosts often sneak into people's homes in the middle of the night to cut their hair, and many men and women have been tricked......"

"Haha, your story must be a lie. ”

"It's true, one of the people I know had his hair cut and he didn't dare take off his hat for days. ”

......

It wasn't until after the third watch that Shangguan Ru returned to the bedroom, and his mood was much brighter.

Gu Shenwei, who was squatting on the tree, looked at a little light in the distance, and was stunned, the life in the Central Plains had been forgotten by him, and there was not much left.

The lotus girl came out on duty, jumped on the branch lightly, and Gu Shenwei whispered to her, "Get ready, we are going to return to Nancheng." ”

The next morning, Shangguan Ru summoned all the people in the house, and the first order was to ask the slaves to return to the stone fort and never go down the mountain again.

Several of the slaves still wanted to stay, and Shangguan Ru motioned for the killers to come forward.

Seven teenagers, dressed in black, although there were no real narrow knives under their waists, their cold expressions were enough to deter a dozen slaves.

The crowded house was deserted all of a sudden, and Shangguan Ru glanced at his remaining backbone and said a thoughtful sentence, "Take back the Kunshe and avenge the rain boy." ”

The killers pulled out their wooden knives together, slashed them on the ground, and then knelt down on one leg, they had been waiting for this day for a long time, and the killers were eager for knives and blood, not for the nursing home.

According to Shangguan Ru's meaning, the first thing to do to regroup was to go straight to Shangguan Fei's residence in Beicheng and force him to socialize Kun.

Gu Shenwei now has a handle in the hands of Shangguan Fei, and he has received a secret order from Mrs. Meng that the twins must be kept away, so he first hinted that if Shangguan has no money, they just want to go back to Kunshe, and it is just an empty shell, and then tell the information he has collected these days.

"How much silver do we have left?"

"About 130,000 taels. ”

These 130,000 taels were all left by Tie Hanfeng, and Shangguan Fei almost killed Tuo Nengya's group of swordsmen, and also indirectly saved a sum of money for the tenth prince.

"It seems that we want more silver, so we can only speak to my brothers. ”

In the next few days, the seven killers got busy, re-renting and hiring people in the southern city, contacting various forces and testing each other's tone.

The progress of the matter was beyond Gu Shenwei's expectations, and the imaginary civil war in the Shangguan family did not happen.

On the third day when Shangguan Ru was preparing to make a comeback, the eighth young master, Shangguan Nu, sent someone over to divide his organization in Nancheng into two and give them to his younger brother and sister respectively.

Within three days, several other young masters also followed Shangguan Nu's example, and gave up the territory and power of Nancheng, without spending a single soldier, the twins got more benefits than all the blood and grabs in the past few months of going down the mountain, as if the brothers were waiting for this day and volunteered to provide selfless help.

The entire Biyu City was surprised, such a harmonious and friendly scene was not like the tradition of the Stone Castle.

Gu Shenwei was shocked and puzzled, he also wanted to use this opportunity to provoke a larger-scale war, but he didn't even see a drop of blood, and soon, he understood the reason why the young masters showed weakness.

Among the twins, Shangguan Fei has shown his ruthless, insidious and ruthless side, but Shangguan Ru has exposed serious weaknesses, Mrs. Meng hopes that her daughter can be more in line with the standards of the son of Dubu Wang, so she wants to take a certain young master.

After the killing of the eldest young master, the other young masters have figured out Mrs. Meng's temperament, and no one is willing to accept the challenge when she is in the limelight.

The sale of Nancheng's territory was not as sacrificial as it seemed on the surface, and the twins were caught off guard by the kindness and enthusiasm of their brothers, and no one was embarrassed to replace the old man immediately, and the two subordinates did not have enough credible manpower, so the organization of the young masters actually changed the soup but not the medicine.

Gu Shenwei soon discovered that all the forces that nominally changed the court handed over only money, and the internal affairs were still controlled by their own people, not to mention a killer, even the twins themselves were difficult to interfere with.

Shangguan Ru's revitalization plan hit a big soft nail.

The problem of money was solved, and the first batch of silver transferred over was nearly 100,000 taels, and every month after that, there were 70,000 or 80,000 taels.

In those days, Gu Shenwei had been paying close attention to Shangguan Ru, for fear that she would still be thinking about avenging Yu Gongzi.

In mid-March, the snow in the southern city turned into a mudflow, but the northern city was still clean and tidy, with a hint of warmth in the wind, and Gu Shenwei was worried that something would happen.

Things are very simple, Shangguan Ru took Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl to go shopping, everything was normal in the morning, Shangguan Ru said and laughed, as if she had completely recovered her former appearance, when she ate at noon, she was a little distracted, Gu Shenwei felt that things were not good, so it was recommended not to go shopping again in the afternoon.

Shangguan Ru did not object, but when she walked out of the restaurant, she walked to her brother Shangguan Fei's house without hesitation.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl glanced at each other, and no one could think of words to dissuade them, no matter what, this was a hurdle for Shangguan to pass.

There are a lot of servants in Shangguan Fei's house, most of them are people sent from the inner house of the stone fort, and when they saw the ten princes coming from a distance, they immediately greeted them and asked for warmth, and one of them ran in to report secretly.

"Oh, it's really unfortunate that the tenth prince came, the ninth young master went out, do you want to wait for a while, or leave a message, and we will convey it for you?"

Qingnu is now the chief housekeeper in Shangguan Fei's house, blocking Shangguan Ru at the door, his hands are constantly twisting, and he is sweating profusely and smiling.

Shangguan Ru looked at his brother's house, which was much more than the place provided by Huan Nu, the courtyard was wide and clean.

"I'm waiting for him here. ”

The sweat on Qingnu's face became even more, and he glared at Huannu vigorously, hoping to get his help.

Shangguan Ru was like returning to his own home, wandering around, and the Qing slave didn't dare to stop him, until the tenth prince wanted to go into the backyard to take a look, he stopped doing it, "Ten princes, you can't go later." ”

"Why?"

"This ...... The back is full of swordsmen, vulgar, dirty and smelly......"

Shangguan Ru seemed to be persuaded, said "Okay", turned around and was about to leave, Qingnu let out a sigh of relief, but Shangguan Ru killed a horse pistol, and when Qingnu reacted, the tenth prince had already rushed into the backyard.

"Shangguan Fei, come out for me!" Shangguan Ru shouted from the backyard.

Another woman's voice came from a room in the east wing, "Hey, do you have another woman here?"

Gu Shenwei really wished he hadn't come with him, because he recognized the woman's voice.
