The next three days were calm, the influence of the Dragon King had dissipated most of them, and the war with the Central Plains and the upcoming Dragon Court Conference were the topics that the Beiting people were most concerned about, followed by the female shooter of the country of incense, among all the guests, Shangguan Ru received far more attention than the Dragon King and Jinpeng Castle.

Gu Shenwei's contest with several princes has also come to an end for the time being.

He and King Khari did not meet again, it was all up to Fang Wen to contact him, and the two sides reached a tacit understanding, unless King Khari could let the Dragon King get summoned by the Old Khan King in front of Jinpeng Castle, otherwise the so-called alliance could not be discussed.

King Kuari was silent on the surface, but Fang Wen could see that he was very angry, but the Dragon King was not his subordinate, and the strict imperial methods were not used, he needed to maintain the relationship with the Dragon King, so he still sent people to greet and give gifts every day.

The strategy of the Great Sun King, or the yellow-faced attendant Fu Yuan, was basically the same: to show the Dragon King that joining their side was the only option by making a gesture of full support for Jinpeng Castle.

Shangguan Yun and Zhang Ji had to go to the Dari Palace's mansion every day as guests, and returned to the camp drunk in the middle of the night.

Shangguan Ru sent the old man Mu to remind the Dragon King that the time to send Shao Min to Fu Yuan might be advanced.

Gu Shenwei was not deceived by superficial appearances, he believed that Zhang Ji was by no means the kind of person who paid first and then received the goods, and Shangguan Shaomin was still safe until he got substantial benefits.

The King of the Holy Day seems to be indeed a drunkard, for the Dragon King, the only thing he is interested in is the Dapeng Bird, Fang Wen has been interviewed from the side, hoping to meet him, the entourage of the King of the Holy Day gave an answer not very politely, "There is a Dapeng Bird, the prince can visit it in person, there is no bird, people should not come." ”

The King of the Sun was eagerly awaiting the Dragon King's visit, and of course, he had to take with him a brute, his flaming pony.

Gu Shenwei became reserved instead, the reason is very simple, just because he has the flame horse, the king of the day is a little soft, and handing it over so quickly is tantamount to disarming and surrendering, he has to wait.

The gamble between him and the military advisor is still ongoing, and both of them are gathering intelligence through various channels, and the more signs they find, the more they feel that they are sure of victory.

Long Chuanyun and Shangguan Fei's mission did not go very smoothly, they were not familiar with each other, and their ability to dig out information was far inferior to Xu Xiaoyi, and after two days, they only provided some gossip.

It is precisely for this reason that Gu Shenwei decided to meet with the guests who had been guarding the door for a day and a night.

The enthusiasm of the entire dragon court for the dragon king is declining, only the swordsman Bosang, who has changed from simple imitation to admiration for the dragon king, Gu Shenwei came to ask for a meeting on the morning of the third day of staying in the camp.

For this visit, Posan almost broke his family.

He is a swordsman in the pariahs, and can occasionally enter the artisan quarter, it is very difficult to enter the noble quarter, and he must have a pass to let the guards go.

Fortunately, everything was business, and after spending a hundred taels of silver that he had saved up over the years, he got a pass—a white piece of paper with a gray horse on it, and a short sword standing on the horse, which was valid for ten days.

At the gate of the Dragon King's camp, Bossan spent the whole day, after being exposed to the scorching sun in early summer, and was soaked by showers in the afternoon, and was a little more comfortable at night, but he bumped into Shangguan Yun, who had passed by since returning from night drinking, and the two sides almost clashed, because the position he was standing in was very suitable for the assassin's choice.

After knowing the reason why Bo Sang was staying here, Shangguan Yun laughed and shouted at the camp with the strength of his wine: "Dragon King, you have admirers in the North Garden, come out and have a look, be careful of being taken away by others." ”

Gu Shenwei refused to meet with Bosang, not because he wanted to test his sincerity, but because he felt that it was unnecessary, this sturdy young man did not seem to be very perceptive in martial arts, and it was okay to give him occasional guidance, but it was worthless to cultivate with his heart.

It wasn't until Long Chuanyun and Shangguan Fei made little progress that Gu Shenwei remembered that Bosan was actually still valuable.

Overjoyed, Possan dressed himself at the gate of the camp, set up two long swords and swords, and followed the guards to the dragon king's tent with steady steps.

He first nodded to the Dragon King and said, "I have relieved myself of my duties as my former employer, and I am asked to accept my allegiance and allow me to join the Dragon Army. ”

After that, he knelt down on one leg and bowed his head to wait for the dragon king's reply, just these three sentences, he had been thinking about them for most of the day, and he was satisfied with the revision many times.

Fang Wen watched with interest, what he cared about was not the young swordsman, but the reaction of the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei stood at the table, his left hand pressed the handle of the knife, his right hand was on the table, his expression was indifferent, and he knelt for a while in Bosan before he spoke, "Get up and speak." ”

Fang Wen nodded secretly, even in the face of an ordinary swordsman, the dragon king was very attentive, standing to show respect, indifference revealed majesty, the swordsman must have been very excited in his heart.

Posan hesitated to get up, and sure enough, his face was a little red, he only wanted to say those few words, and he didn't know what to say next, his head was still lowered, and he didn't dare to look at the dragon king.

Fang Wen coughed twice, breaking the cold situation, compared to the Dragon King, he was much more enthusiastic, and smiled: "Your name is Bosang?"

"Yes. ”

"We met at Shou Lao, do you remember?"

"Yes...... Point impressions. Posan looked up and glanced at it quickly, and said with uncertainty that the two met half a year ago, and Fang Wen at that time was far less white and fat than he is now.

"Why did you leave Shou Lao?"

"Shou Lao is no longer in business, and plans to buy some cattle and sheep to leave Longting, he wants me to help, but I can't graze, so I ...... Left. ”

Poisan's face blushed even more because he had had a small quarrel with his employer, and in his anger, Shou Lao even accused him of being ungrateful.

Fang Wen glanced at the Dragon King, both of them knew in their hearts what the reason for Shou Lao to give up his business was, King Kuari was a person who held grudges, although he did not take revenge measures now, but he would not forget that Shou Lao had chosen to throw himself into the Great Sun King, and when he inherited the throne, all the people of Beiting were his subordinates, and all kinds of harsh measures were indispensable.

At the end of the greetings, Gu Shenwei began to ask questions that he was really interested in, "You are very familiar with Long Ting, right?"

"Hmm. Possan's voice trembled a little, and he paused to explain, "I am familiar with the untouchable area and the artisan area, and I am familiar with this place...... I'm coming in for the first time. ”

"If I ask you to inquire about something for me, can you do it?"

"Yes. Posan raised his head happily, "Although the Dragon King has given orders, I know many people, all of them are big people, and they ...... It's not as good as the Dragon King, but he knows a lot of news. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, and decided to hand over Bosan to Shangguan Fei, "After doing this, I will decide whether to accept your allegiance." ”

"Yes, I will please the Dragon King. Possan solemnly promised.

The meeting was supposed to end here, and the rest was all trivial: arranging a tent for Bosang, introducing it to Shangguan Fei, and so on.

Posan did retreat to the door, but he seemed hesitant, as if he had not said anything, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.

Gu Shenwei understood the swordsman's intentions, so he stopped him, "Bosang, do you want to learn the sword technique from me?"

Posan knelt down on his legs this time, his face glowed with excitement, his biggest dream was to become a top swordsman, before seeing the dragon king, he felt that he was close to the goal, but it turned out that he didn't even see the shadow of the top, so he asked to see the dragon king with the purpose of apprenticeship, but he felt unworthy, the dragon king took the initiative to ask, right in his heart.

"Dragon King...... I really want to...... I'll try...... Let me do anything, my knife ......" After a moment of incoherence, Bossan finally calmed down a little, "Dragon King, I have been practicing knives all my life, it was you who made me see what is the real knife technique, I know that my qualifications are very poor, and people are not smart, but I can endure hardships, as long as the Dragon King is willing to teach, I promise that I will never embarrass you, for the sake of knife skills, I am willing to pay any price." ”

The young man who was not yet twenty years old opened his mouth and said "life", Fang Wen pouted disdainfully with the mentality of a person who had come over, but he knew that there would be another loyal guard by the Dragon King's side.

"Prove your loyalty first, and then talk about swordsmanship. "Gu Shenwei's test of his followers has just begun, no matter how innocent the other party seems, he will not trust him easily.

Loyalty is more related to action than to people's hearts, and Gu Shenwei adheres to this principle, he does not care about or explore the inner thoughts of the people around him, but only looks at what they do and what they choose at critical moments.

Bossan took the Dragon King's words as a promise, his round face was filled with an uncontrollable smile, his thick neck was full of green tendons, and he looked a little scary, "Dragon King, please allow me to say more, you are the strongest swordsman in the world, and the warrior competition will definitely win a big victory, no one in the North Court is your opponent, and no matter how many masters come from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, it is useless." ”

Possan's blush never subsided, his movements stiffened, and he stumbled a little when he spoke, but his flattery came from the heart and made up for the lack of skill.

Fang Wen shook his head with a smile, he really wanted to remind this clumsy young swordsman that the Dragon King didn't like flattery, and only by getting useful information could he get the Dragon King's approval.

He immediately realized that he was wrong, the dragon king seemed to be very interested in these few words of flattery, and even took a step forward, Fang Wen suddenly realized, thinking that his reaction was really too slow, so he hurriedly asked: "You said that the Central Plains and the Western Regions also sent masters to participate in the warrior competition?"

Posan didn't understand what there was to explain about this matter, and replied blankly: "No one sent it, every year the Dragon Court Conference is attended by people from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and this year...... More. ”

"How much more?"

Fang Wen's eagerness made Bossan even more confused, and he thought for a while before saying: "I can't tell you how much, but everyone says that the people from the Central Plains and the Western Regions this year are real masters, and the competition must be very intense, but the Dragon King ...... as soon as he made a move."

Gu Shenwei and the military advisor glanced at each other, the two of them had the same thoughts, there must be a reason why this Dragon Court Conference attracted so much attention.

"That's the first task I gave you. Gu Shenwei changed his mind and decided to let Bosan collect intelligence alone, "I want to know which masters are participating in the warrior competition, especially those from the Central Plains and the Western Regions." ”

"Yes, Dragon King, I won't let you down. 'Posan is happy because it's a task he can definitely do.

As soon as Bossan left, Fang Wen immediately said his thoughts, "What a wonderful plan, the safety promises of Beiting and Jinpeng Fort will be unconstrained when they get to the martial arts arena, right?"

"Hmm. "Gu Shenwei finally understood that the upcoming Dragon Court Conference would provide a legitimate killing opportunity.
