There were three people in total, Gu Shenwei had a little doubt in his heart at this time, but there was too little time left for him, the three horses passed by in a flash, and he couldn't help but think about it, and his many years of experience as a killer also made him develop a habit: think fully before you start, and have no second thoughts when you do it.

Judging from the process, this is a perfect assassination without suspense.

Gu Shenwei was the first to strike, and even a person with a knife swept past a knight, and his head fell to the ground like a ripe fruit.

Before the other two could react to what was happening, the Lotus Maiden struck, and the second head flew up, spurting blood several feet high.

The only remaining knight was completely stunned, and he was surprised by an ambush at the door of his house, and the death of his two companions was so strange that he was even more puzzled, and he did not speed up and escape, nor did he shout for help, it seems, he was not even too afraid, and his hands involuntarily forced, grabbed the reins, and looked around, as if he thought it was a prank made by his friends.

Not only does this person not act like a killer, but he doesn't even have the most ordinary experience.

The doubts in Gu Shenwei's heart suddenly increased, and he couldn't just force it down anymore.

The process was very short, when the lotus girl made a move, Gu Shenwei happened to pounce on the third knight, he temporarily changed his mind, did not use the knife, but strangled the target's neck and squatted on the horse's hips.

The horses raised their front hooves and neighed loudly.

"Who are you?" Gu Shenwei whispered, leaning into the knight's ear.

The knight finally came to his senses, but he was overwhelmed by fear, and his throat sounded so loudly that he could not utter a word.

Gu Shenwei tapped the back of his head with the hilt of his sword, and the knight seemed to be injected with a little vitality and could speak, "I, I, I'm Xiao Xing'er." ”

"What about the two men?"

"Seven, Seventh Young Master and Xiao Yue'er. ”

The lotus girl had already carefully examined the two corpses on the ground, and shook her head at Gu Shenwei, indicating that the deceased was not a Jinpeng killer.

Gu Shenwei relaxed the arm that strangled Xiao Xing'er's neck, "What are you doing when you come back overnight?"

"The old man sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there was a distinguished guest in the village, and asked the seventh young master to return to the village immediately. ”

Gu Shenwei finally admitted that he had made a serious mistake.

Thinking about it carefully, he actually didn't have any direct evidence that the fat patriarch had a ghost in his heart, everything was deduced from human nature, in the past, this trick was tried and tested, but today it failed.

The folk customs of the Wushan tribe may be completely different from that of Biyu City.

Gu Shenwei jumped off the horse, thinking about how to make up for his mistakes, the fat patriarch had a group of children and grandchildren, but looking at his appearance, he loved all of them, and he would never be indifferent to the inexplicable death of the "Seventh Young Master".

He raised his head and glanced at the lotus girl, and the two thought of a piece.

Gu Shenwei hesitated slightly, but immediately reminded himself: You are the Dragon King, and there are 10,000 Great Snow Mountain warriors behind you.

He put away the knife and said to Xiao Xing'er: "A misunderstanding, you don't have to be afraid. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Wu'er replied casually, still dizzy, "Misunderstanding, it's ...... misunderstanding."

A sharp sword stabbed from the left side, hitting the heart, Xiao Xing'er's body stood up, and slowly fell on the horse's back, like the two companions, died in vain.

Ma Ming just now attracted the attention of the village, a group of patrollers ran over, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl jumped to the three-person high cliff, and sneaked back to the residence in the village.

"That doesn't prove anything, there may still be other conspiracies hatched in the Wind Swallowing Gorge, we just don't know yet. ”

The Lotus Girl said such a sentence, which was considered a consolation, but Gu Shenwei became vigilant, suspecting that he had accidentally revealed a trace of weakness, which made the Lotus Girl sympathize, which was a fatal flaw for the Dragon King who wanted to dominate the Western Regions.

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter now, in a few days, as soon as the vanguard army of Long Chuyun arrives, they will occupy this place, and the Wushan Pass cannot be in the hands of outsiders. ”

Gu Shenshang said his thoughts in advance, and the lotus girl seemed to understand the Dragon King's intentions, so she bowed slightly very respectfully and exited the room.

This is the distance that Gu Shenwei deliberately maintains, he needs the lotus girl, her martial arts and status are irreplaceable, but he never wants to get too close to her.

He suddenly remembered Shangguan Ru, the two were walking on diametrically opposite paths, becoming stranger and stranger, but one thing was similar: they had both been deeply hurt by betrayal, and then each used different ways to lock their hearts tightly.

Gu Shenwei rarely makes mistakes in guessing conspiracy, but this is indeed not the first time he has killed the wrong person.

When he fled to escape the pursuit of Jinpeng Castle, he encountered several crises, whether to kill or not to kill, he needed to make a quick decision, and in all cases, he chose the former.

Most of the time, his choice was correct, and there were a few times when he was right or wrong and never conclusive, but there were also two times when there was unmistakable evidence that he had killed the wrong person, and the deceased was just an ordinary character in the rivers and lakes, and had nothing to do with Jinpeng Castle.

If you choose to "kill", he may make a mistake, but he will not die, and if you choose "not to kill", you may still make a mistake, but the person who dies will be yourself, this is the difference between the two choices.

Shangguan Ru once told him about Old Man Mu's classification of evildoers: low-level evildoers make up reasons, middle-level evildoers are forcibly stuffed for reasons, high-level evildoers create reasons, and top-level evildoers don't need reasons.

Old Man Mu considered himself a top-level villain, and classified the Dragon King as intermediate.

Gu Shenwei felt that Old Man Mu had a high opinion of the Dragon King, he was the lowest level of evildoer, and he was making up a reason to make himself feel at ease for a manslaughter.

Once the thoughts are unfolded, it is difficult to take them back, and the image of an old monk appeared in front of Gu Shenwei, who also had a set of theories about good and evil.

Zen Master Fayan of the Four Noble Truths said to him that there are no real wicked people in this world, and that wicked people have to look for the disguise of goodness, which is not for others to see, but to appease themselves.

Old Man Mu and Fa Yan, two people who don't know each other, extremely evil and extremely good, have some similarities in the theories they say.

It's a pity that the old man Mu died, Gu Shen thought about it, otherwise, bringing this demon who believes in "doing evil is freedom" to Fa Yan can just puncture the old monk's argument that "everyone in the world is good".

Gu Shenwei didn't think about it for too long, and was pulled back to reality by the sound outside.

The death of one of the fat chief's sons and two of his followers near the village immediately spread throughout the village, and many people had heard about it before they got up and dressed.

The whole village was in an atmosphere of grief and indignation, and all the clansmen gathered outside the patriarch's cave to express their mourning and desire for revenge.

Most of the business travelers who were resting in the village also came to express a few words of condolences, and a small number of shrewd people, feeling that the wind and rain were coming, urged their subordinates to set off early in the morning, and even did not care about breakfast.

Everyone was guessing who the murderer was, but when Gu Shenwei was invited to meet the fat patriarch, no one dared to squeak in the place he passed.

The assassin who killed the Seventh Young Master had superb knife skills, even those with little experience could see it, and then naturally remembered the Dragon King.

The fat patriarch drank a lot of wine last night, but he didn't see any drunkenness at this time, he was still sitting on the soft couch, holding a human head in both hands, silent, and his face was full of tears.

The maids were more careful than usual, and even their breathing was kept to a minimum.

The fat patriarch looked up at the Dragon King, "This is my son, he was killed." ”

Hachilie arrived a little earlier than the Dragon King, his expression was serious, and he whispered, "What just happened, it was not dawn at that time. ”

"The patriarch mourns, killing people pays for their lives, and this revenge will always be avenged. Gu Shenwei's tone was calm, he would not be controlled by guilt.

"Revenge must be avenged. The fat patriarch clenched his fleshy right fist, raised it high, and smashed it into the void in front of him, "This is my favorite son, I originally wanted him to follow the Dragon King to make achievements, who wants to ......"

The fat patriarch took a deep breath and stopped more tears, "Everyone says that the person who killed my son is a first-class master, and I want to ask the Dragon King to take a look for me." ”

The fat patriarch held the head in both hands and handed it forward, waiting for the dragon king to pick it up.

Gu Shenwei walked over, carefully picked up the head, and looked at it for a while, "The knife edge is smooth, one move kills, the assassin is indeed a master." ”

The fat patriarch kept staring at the dragon king intently, and did not immediately pick up his son's head, "Some villains ran to me and chewed their tongues, saying that the only masters in the village were the dragon king and his female guards. ”

"It's a clear sow of discord. Gu Shenwei looked back at the fat patriarch's gaze, and returned his head with both hands, neither surprised nor defended.

"That's right. The fat patriarch turned his head and gently stroked Qizi's cheek, as if he was still alive and well, "Why did the Dragon King kill my son? It must have been an assassin sent by Jinpeng Castle, and the Wind Swallowing Gorge befriended the Dragon King, and the Dubu King wanted to threaten me with this method. ”

Dubu Wang was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible to understand the things here, Gu Shenwei did not correct the fat patriarch's mistake, but nodded and said, "Jinpeng Castle will regret doing this, I promise." ”

"Even if there is only one person left in the Wind Swallowing Gorge, you must follow the Dragon King and fight to the end with Jinpeng Castle. The fat patriarch swore sharply.

Back in the room, Gu Shenwei was still thinking about the fat patriarch's actions and words, and always felt that the other party seemed to have seen through everything.

Hachilie asked to see him.

The tall Ha Chilie looked cramped and uneasy in front of the Dragon King, as if he was unsure of his status and closeness, "I want to ask the Dragon King a word. ”

"Hmm. ”

"I know I shouldn't ask, and I'm not qualified to ask. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Is that the one you killed?" asked Hachilie with all the courage.

Gu Shenwei didn't deny it immediately, was silent for a while, and said, "If I killed you, what would you do?"

Ha Chilie glanced up at the Dragon King in surprise, and then lowered his gaze again, "I don't know, but...... I guess I need a reason. ”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, the reason, the reason he came up with could only convince himself, and he couldn't use it on others.

"Not me. He said.

Ha Chilie let out a long breath, his face turned from gloomy to clear, "I don't think so, the Dragon King doesn't need to make enemies, Swallowing Wind Gorge is trustworthy, I know this family very well, they are not snobs, it's a pity that Lao Qi died, he has hoped to make a career on the battlefield since he was a child, although he joined the An ** team and participated in the siege of the capital of Shiguo, but he has absolutely no intention of being loyal to the Dubu King." Jinpeng killers are everywhere, I think we all have to be careful, especially the patriarch, maybe it's the next target......"

Ha Chilie wanted to continue, but the Dragon King interrupted him and asked in surprise, "Has the seventh son of the patriarch been besieging the capital of the Stone Kingdom all along?"

"Yes, it turns out that the Dragon King doesn't know, and I thought that the Dragon King was unhappy for this reason. ”

Ha Chilie hadn't heard the confession of his servant Xiao Xing'er before he died, so he didn't know how important his words were.

The capital of Shiguo is far away from the Swallowing Wind Gorge, and there is a vast sea in the middle, even if the Seventh Young Master flies, it is impossible to get the news of the arrival of the Dragon King in just two days and rush back in time.

In this way, Xiao Xing'er's so-called "distinguished guest" is not the Dragon King, but someone else, a fat patriarch who has never been introduced to the Dragon King.
