Chapter 35: The Apprentice

Within the door of the East Castle, there are still alleys extending in all directions, leading to different courtyards, Gu Shenwei once went to the small courtyard that recruited apprentices, and at this time the double doors were closed, with a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

The twins have never been here, just run aimlessly, in order to get rid of the pursuers, every intersection has to make a sharp turn, I don't know how many yards they passed, they were so tired that they couldn't breathe, the six teenagers finally stopped, looked back, there was no one, the gatekeeper didn't know whether he was thrown off, or he didn't catch up at all.

In short, they are now in the core area of the East Fort, and the real killers may be learning the secret art of assassination across the wall, and everyone can't help but look at each other and laugh.

Shangguan Ru took the lead, and the six people listened to each courtyard, but every door was closed tightly, leaving no gap, allowing people to knock, and there was no response inside, and there was no sound at all, as if the courtyards one after another were empty.

Shangguan Ru's brows furrowed more and more, and he couldn't help but lose his temper again, but fortunately, Shangguan Fei in front finally found something in a door, and turned around and waved excitedly at the others.

The six of them huddled together, and they all put their ears on the door, and sure enough, there was a rapid "bangbang" sound from inside, not only people, but also a lot of people.

However, there was still not a single crack left on the door, and it sounded tired of it, Shangguan Ru took a few steps back, looked left and right, walked to a section of the lower wall, pointed to the corner of the wall and said to his scholar, "Stand against the wall." ”

The scholar hurriedly stood up and patted himself on the shoulder, "Ninth Prince, come on." ”

But the wall is very high, and he can't step on his shoulders to cross the wall, Shangguan is like a finger of Huan Nu, "You go up." ”

The scholar was a little unhappy, but he had no choice but to bend his knees, and Gu Shenwei climbed on his shoulder, facing the alley, this time not too far from the wall.

Shangguan Ru rubbed his hands excitedly and said to his brother and cousin, "Come, throw me up." ”

One of the remaining scholars was startled, "Ninth Prince, it's too dangerous." ”

"Go!" Shangguan Ru only spit out this one word, and the scholar didn't dare to squeak anymore.

Shangguan Fei was a little nervous, and he was afraid of being looked down upon, so he hesitated for a while, came over to help under the pressure of his cousin, and muttered in a low voice: "This is your own idea." ”

One on each side, the two of them supported Shangguan Ru's feet, and at the same time threw her into the air.

Shangguan Ru was like a light bird, even flipped a few heels, and landed firmly on Gu Shenwei's shoulder, Gu Shenwei didn't feel much weight, and hurriedly grabbed her ankle with his hand.

Shangguan Ru peeked inside the wall, and several people below looked at her with blank eyes.

"What do you see?"

"Well, a lot of people. ”

"What are you practicing?"

"It's the same as us, it's a wooden knife, and even the moves are the same, really. ”

"Ah, I see, this is the Wood Carving Academy, where junior apprentices are trained. ”

The scholar on the ground ran to the door, looked up and recognized for a long time, "Yu Gongzi is right, it's really a carved wood courtyard, hey, there are small words underneath, ouch......"

The scholar exclaimed, followed by a calm and stern voice, "What person?!"

This sound was unexpected, and all the teenagers were startled, and the boy at the bottom of the ladder had a weak leg, and the two people above fell down.

Shangguan Ru stood tallest, but he had learned light skills, and his body was light, and there were two people below, unscathed, but he was really frightened, and he fell into his cousin's arms, and he didn't stand up for a while.

Gu Shenwei in the middle was unlucky, no one answered, and he wanted to protect the person on his shoulder, but the whole person fell down, stood up and raised his hand to touch it, and the corners of his forehead and nose were bleeding.

The person who shouted was the teacher who came out of the carved wood courtyard, and he recognized Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Fei at a glance, and he was shocked, stepped forward in a few steps, and said, "It's not broken." At the same time, he reached out to check it out.

Shangguan Ru had regained consciousness at this time, stood up on the ground, and Shangguan Yu blocked the hand of the teacher for her.

"Of course it didn't break, don't worry about it, I, we're here to challenge. ”

Shangguan Ru was frightened and felt very shameless, so he had a whim and imitated Marshal Yang to challenge the Carved Wood Academy.

The teacher is not tall, he is a sturdy middle-aged man, he heard this, he didn't feel stunned, this carved wood courtyard is part of Jinpeng Castle, owned by the Shangguan family, the ninth prince challenged his own family, what is going on? But his brain turned quickly, seeing several teenagers break into the East Fort, no one interfered, obviously won the tacit approval of higher-level figures, everyone was playing games with the little master, why should he be serious?

"It turned out to be a master who came to teach him, may I ask who are the sects and sects?"

Shangguan Ru just said casually, but he didn't expect to be treated seriously by the other party, and couldn't help but smile, "The master doesn't dare to be, we are...... This one...... Moon-holding faction, I'm the head of the house. ”

The children of the Shangguan family practiced martial arts in the Moon Courtyard when they were young, and Shangguan Ru took this opportunity to form a faction.

"I'm the deputy head. Shangguan Fei hurriedly said, and was glanced at by his cousin.

"Hu Shining, the teacher of the Carving Academy, meet the two heads of the Moon Sect, please enter the hospital to compete. ”

The twins were used to being held in the castle, and they accepted Hu Shining's flattery calmly, and led the way into the courtyard with their heads held high, followed by four "masters", among which only Gu Shenwei was the least "master", although he wiped and wiped, there were still blood stains on his face, but fortunately, no one cared about him.

The carved wood courtyard covers a wide area, there are many houses, and the courtyard is much larger than the ordinary courtyard, and hundreds of killer apprentices do not feel cramped when they gather in it, and there are weapon racks on all sides, which is no different from an ordinary martial arts field.

The other teachers had already heard the conversation outside, and they all had the same idea as Hu Shining, and they were all doing everything possible to please the two little masters, so they ordered the apprentices to line up in the east to meet the challengers of the Moon Sect.

Shangguan Ru was naturally eager to try this kind of thing, and without saying a few words, he was the first to jump out to challenge, and Hu Shining took great pains to assign apprentices, each of whom was a "leader" and "the strongest master".

But after only two fights, Shangguan Ru was very happy, most of these killer apprentices were teenagers, they had already been hinted, no one dared to really make a move, the courage was smaller than the usual sparring boys, and they would be defeated if they insisted on three or five moves, and if Shangguan Ru forced them to continue, they would rather be beaten and admit defeat than use real kung fu.

The little boy Shangguan Fei came on the field and won three games in a row, but he was very happy, and he asked people to bring a wooden knife, and won three more games, he was extremely proud, waving a wooden knife, and shouted at his sister: "Give me the position of the head." ”

Shangguan Ru ignored him, and was thinking about how to make the killer apprentice use all his strength, Shangguan Yushi whispered a few words in her ear, her eyes lit up, and she said loudly: "The deputy head is back, let's change the method." ”

Shangguan Fei was still unsatisfied, but he still stepped back and took the handkerchief from the scholar's hand to wipe his sweat, "The carved wood courtyard is not as good as our moon courtyard, isn't it?"

Shangguan Ru turned to Hu Shining, the teacher of Gong Chuan, "It's not interesting to fight back and forth like this, I know you don't dare to show your real kung fu, so it's okay, I'll send a disciple out to challenge, let's really fight a few times, it's not a hero who cheats, uh, it's not a real killer." ”

Hu Shining's heart was relieved, as long as he was not a person surnamed Shangguan, it would not hurt to really defeat him, so he said with a smile: "The head of the moon is sharp-eyed, it's not that the disciples of this academy are unwilling to use all their strength, but they really can't learn at home, and they can't help but be a little nervous when they see the head of the big faction." ”

Shangguan Ru was tired of hearing too much flattery, turned around and pointed at Gu Shenwei, frowning before the words came out, she found that Huan Nu was injured, looking embarrassed, how could she have the demeanor of a disciple of a famous sect.

Gu Shenwei stepped forward and whispered, "Master, let the disciple play." ”

This is a great opportunity to curry favor with Shangguan Ru, and Gu Shenwei can't easily miss it.

Shangguan Ru had no other choice, the other two scholars were very average in martial arts, and when Shangguan Yu played, the apprentices probably still didn't dare to make a move, so they had to say: "You must win, and if you lose face to the master, you will be expelled from the portal." ”

Gu Shenwei came on the field, and someone handed a wooden knife.

Who should be sent by the Carved Wood Academy, Hu Shining was a little embarrassed, if he wanted to please the Ninth Prince, he had to really fight, but this "Moon Holding Faction Gaozu" had a blue nose and swollen face, obviously he had just been beaten, and his skills must be average, and it was really difficult to find an evenly matched person from among the killer apprentices.

His eyes swept around, and finally he reached out and appointed an apprentice, and when he came up to receive the order, he whispered: "Let ten moves defeat him again." ”

The apprentice nodded, carried the wooden knife and stopped a few steps away from Gu Shenwei.

Gu Shenwei actually recognized him.

The young man who came out to fight was a slave, one of Miss Luo Ningcha's wedding slaves, he originally didn't know martial arts, because of a series of accidents and mistakes to replace Huan Nu to enter Dongbao, his foundation is worse than others, a few months, and he is still the weakest one among the apprentices.

The slave usually lives in the courtyard of the eight young masters, the work and rest time are different, and the Huan slave rarely has the opportunity to meet, the career of the killer apprentice has left a clear mark on him, he was a relatively calm person, smart, he knows how to speak at the right time, and his mood is invisible, but now he has lost a lot of weight, calm and gloomy, and his joy and anger are hidden deeper, and his eyes always show vigilance.

He must have suffered a lot.

Gu Shenwei was the same, he suffered even more, just outside the fort, Marshal Yang's head was still stuck in the spear, he still had to force a smile to please the enemy's children.

The two faced each other silently, and neither of them showed that they knew each other.

Gu Shenwei needed this victory to make Shangguan Ru happy, he held the wooden knife tightly, and had already made a decision in his heart, although Marshal Yang was dead, the words he said were still in his mind: "If you want to kill, you have to have a real killing heart." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't want to kill anyone, and the wooden knife couldn't kill anyone, but he still called out the hatred in his heart and aroused a vigorous murderous intent.

The slave held the wooden knife tightly, and he also needed a victory to prove that he was not a vase sent by the Snow Lady to fill the number, and to prove that the killer apprentice's training for a few months was stronger than Huannu's years of martial arts.

The instructions of the teacher Hu Shining were left behind, and neither of them regarded this competition as child's play.

Hu Shining felt that something was wrong, but Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yu were full of joy, clasping their hands together, waiting for a wonderful and real competition.
