King Hui is a short and fat old man, when the Five Kingdoms of the Sea formed an alliance with the Dragon King, Gu Shenwei saw him once, and he had the impression that he was a sleek king, unlike King Shi, who was already alone, and did not want to win people's hearts.

It has been more than a month since the Dragon King came to Huiguo, but King Hui has not shown up, and only sent messengers to pass the word, which is not consistent with the previous behavior of deliberately currying favor.

Gu Shenwei did not reveal his intentions to anyone before leaving, and after eating early in the morning, he suddenly summoned Wu Zongheng, the deputy captain, and ordered him to assemble the Dragon King's direct army.

Wu Zongheng had been following the Dragon King for a while, and he had a little understanding of the new master's style of acting, so he didn't ask anything and immediately obeyed the order.

The army directly under the Dragon King includes three hundred savage archers, three hundred swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain, two hundred slaves from the country of incense, one hundred nobles and one hundred bandits with complex origins.

Such an army, in the eyes of the Huiguo people, is a bit strange and terrifying.

Most of the soldiers in the army had just returned from the suppression of bandits, and their combat effectiveness was at their peak.

It was about a two-day journey from Liucheng to the capital of Huiguo, and the whole army arrived the next morning without stopping.

The guards of the city were so caught off guard that they did not even have time to close the gates, but immediately laid down their weapons and watched in horror at this army, which did not know whether it was friend or foe, and the people who came in and out scattered in a hurry.

Wu Zongheng sent a team to take over the city gate, and the other soldiers dismounted and rested nearby.

One of the ministers of Huiguo ran over in a hurry, he received the wrong news, thinking that it was only the dragon king's subordinates, and he was very dissatisfied with this kind of disturbing behavior, and when he saw the dragon king, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he lay on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

"The Dragon King is here...... Why didn't you send someone to inform you, and our country is so fragrant......"

"Take me to the king. "Gu Shenwei didn't get off the horse, and he didn't come here to listen to flattery.

"What?" the minister didn't seem to understand what the dragon king meant, and then pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Oh, the dragon king wants to see my king, and my king is naturally ...... That one...... Very happy, but、But the dragon king once promised......"

When he came to relieve the siege, Gu Shenwei agreed not to let the army enter the city, he turned around and pointed to the soldiers inside and outside the city gate, "They don't enter the city." ”

A thousand elite soldiers, in charge of the most important entrances and exits of the capital, this is only one step away from a complete occupation.

The minister was dumbfounded, and found that there was a loophole in the original agreement: the dragon army could not enter the city, but he did not say that the dragon king could not, nor did he say who would guard the city gate.

"The dragon king wants to go to my king alone?"

Of course, Gu Shenwei would not take such a risk, waving his hand, dozens of soldiers came out of the soldiers behind him, wearing civilian clothes, but they were all equipped with sharp weapons, and their resolute and resolute expressions were no different from ordinary people.

There are a total of fifty people, they are the personal guards personally selected by the Dragon King, and the captain of the guard is the swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain, Long Chuanyun.

Long Chuanyun was the patriarch of Huagai Peak, and he had the opportunity to serve as a thousand lieutenants, but he refused, preferring to give up his position to the rest of his clan and be the Dragon King's guard.

He knew that his martial arts were far worse than the Dragon King, and his cooperation with the Dragon King was not as good as that of the mysterious person called the Lotus Girl, but as soon as he heard that the Dragon King was going to choose a personal guard, he was the first to sign up.

Long Chuanyun was once given the Dharma Protector Sword by the Dragon King himself on the battlefield, and he regarded it as the highest honor in his life, and believed that he had the duty to protect the Dragon King from now on.

He thinks so, flying eaves and going deep into the enemy's den, he is not as good as the lotus girl, but when he comes to the battlefield, knives and guns come and go, there are many people and chaos, and the lotus girl is not as good as him, so he believes that he is useful to the dragon king.

Gu Shen accepted the allegiance of Long Chuanyun, as the war progressed, Jinpeng Castle's attention to the Dragon King was also rapidly escalating, he did need more protectors, relying only on the lotus girl alone, there will always be loopholes.

Gu Shenwei led the escort team, left the stunned ministers, and marched along the street towards the center of the city, the urban layout of the Western Regions is basically the same, the palace is always located in the center, and any road can lead to the gate of the palace, without guidance.

The streets are unusually deserted, houses are closed, shops that have opened are no longer open, and shopkeepers and customers pick up the cracks in the doors and peep out.

Gu Shenwei has long been accustomed to the fear of the people.

This is normal, the dragon army suddenly emerged from the mountains like robbers, and most of the soldiers came from the legendary and illusory country of incense, as well as the great snowy mountains that were so far away that they were almost as mythical as they were, how could they not make the civilians of the sea suspicious?

If you want to occupy the Sea of Freedom for a long time, you must turn people's hearts, but this is not what the Dragon King is going to do now.

Halfway through the march, five more "people" joined the guards and whispered to the dragon king.

Soon after arriving in Huiguo, Gu Shenwei sent several spies to infiltrate the capital, and sufficient information was always important, especially in a strange country.

Gu Shenwei had taken risks in this kind of matter, but not many people knew his true identity at that time, which was different from the current situation.

Shangguan Fei was one of the people who inquired about intelligence.

He would rather stay with the Dragon King and have nothing to do, even if he is not trusted, it doesn't matter, as long as he is safe, but the Dragon King is very snobbish and does not raise useless people, and the former Nine Young Masters of Jinpeng Castle can only do the task of ordinary killers.

Shangguan Fei is not good at communicating with people, but his sense of smell of conspiracy has always been accurate, and he can make up for the shortcomings of other spies.

Gu Shenwei dared to use Shangguan Fei because he knew that the smart young master would not deceive him in trivial matters.

"It's basically normal, but it's a little weird about one thing. Each spy reported the situation individually, and when it was Shangguan Fei's turn, he really provided some valuable content, "King Hui recently promoted several newcomers to be important ministers, and everyone said that these people were closely related to the queen's family, I don't know if it's true. ”

After Shangguan Fei finished talking about the information in a few words, he began to complain, "I've been tired these days, Dragon King, don't you know, this dress is too rough, it makes me itch from morning to night......"

He is not a qualified spy, but his sense of smell is indeed very keen, and the matter of King Hui's reuse of newcomers has caused little repercussions in the city, and other spies have not taken it seriously, only he has listened a few more ears.

It looked like an ordinary court conspiracy.

King Hui's crown prince stayed in Shiguo as a hostage, and the current queen was only given the title a few years ago, and it seems that she wants to take advantage of the prince's absence to establish the power of her family.

But for this little thing, it doesn't seem worth panicking and refusing the dragon army to enter the city.

When he was about to arrive at the palace, Prime Minister Huiguo greeted him, and the minister who went to the city gate to greet the dragon king followed behind, he probably took a shortcut and returned to the palace in advance, but he was also very tired, and in the early winter, his forehead was still sweating profusely.

Shangguan Fei glanced at the Dragon King, indicating that this minister was newly promoted.

The prime minister has not been replaced, it is a decrepit old man, it seems that he has reached the point of fainting, he ran in small steps, almost crashed into the dragon king's mount, stopped panting, and his body bones seemed to be about to fall apart in front of the dragon king's eyes.

"Dragon King, please, please stop. ”

Long Chuanyun walked out, dragged the old prime minister who didn't understand the rules away, and then pointed to the ground, "Just talk here." ”

The old prime minister was both dazed and surprised, and finally remembered that the dragon king seemed to have a "five-step ban", he had accidentally broken into the place of death just now, and he was afraid for a while, and his voice was much clearer, "The dragon king forgives his sins, my king is seriously ill and can't see guests, and I invite the dragon king to ......."

None of the spies mentioned the information about King Hui's illness, so Gu Shenwei urged the horses and said, "What a coincidence, I will cure the disease." ”

He carried with him a large number of pills left by the lotus girl, it was impossible to remove the root of the disease, it was okay to hang his life with a few fierce pills, and he didn't believe in the fact that King Hui was sick at all.

Like a doll, Long Chuyun grabbed the old prime minister's arms and moved him away from the middle of the street to make way for the dragon king.

The other minister jumped away playfully, glanced at Lao Cheng, and showed a panicked look.

There are guards in the palace, there are quite a few of them, far more than the dragon king's guards, they don't want to prove their strength at this time, they honestly get out of the way, their weapons are low, and let the dragon king and others drive straight in.

The layout of the royal palace is similar to that of the stone country, the first building inside the gate is the council hall, where the prime minister usually performs his duties, and further inside is the main hall, and around the main hall is the hou palace.

There were already a bunch of people standing at the door of the council hall, waiting for the Dragon King, and they probably knew that the old prime minister couldn't stop the Dragon King.

One of the women was particularly eye-catching, tall and richly dressed, standing out from the crowd of men, and of course, in front of the dragon king, everyone else was bent down and bowed her head, but she was the only one with her head held high.

The queen herself stepped in.

It was difficult for Gu Shenwei to put the short and fat King Hui and the woman in front of him together in his imagination.

The dragon king did not dismount, he did not come to negotiate, but to declare his rights.

A look of anger flashed across the queen's face, an impressive face with slightly high cheekbones that looked very angular, which added to her majesty without detracting from the beauty of her countenance.

"Is the Dragon King coming uninvited to seize the throne?" the queen asked, posing to confront the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei didn't answer, Shangguan Fei beside him knew what he should do, "You woman, you are so rude, report your identity, and the Dragon King will not talk to unknown people." ”

Wang Rong's anger did not flash in a flash, but froze on his face.

A minister hurriedly rounded the round, "This is the queen of our king, my king is seriously ill in bed, and the queen is sent to greet the dragon king in person." ”

Gu Shenwei's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped on the face of the only queen who dared to look back at him, "Today I want to see King Hui, whether he is seriously ill or not, dead or alive, it is a time of war, and some rules have to be broken." ”

The queen may be a smart person, but she is not good at hiding her emotions, and Gu Shenwei found that when he said the words "dead or alive", the queen's face clearly changed.
