The dark night was like a thick cloak, draped over Gu Shenwei's body, making him feel at ease.

Han Fen was sitting in his tent, excitedly sewing something out of rags, humming a simple and cheerful children's rhyme with creepy lyrics: peel off the skin and open the chest and abdomen, and arrange the five organs in a row. Cut the flesh and behead to find out where the heart is...... Han Fen turned his head and smiled happily, "Hey, it's the Dragon King, are you okay?" I ate a little too much for dinner, and the mutton takes up too much space, can we find a way to get rid of the vegetables?"

"I'll figure it out. ”

"Hey, great, you see, I did this. ”

Han Fen raised the thing he was sewing in his hand, it was a rag doll, more than a foot high, close to completion, his facial features had been drawn in advance, and the brushstrokes were childish like the work of a child of a few years old, but his eyes showed a fierce light, a bloody mouth occupied most of his face, and his sharp teeth seemed to be dripping blood.

"Not bad. Gu Shen praised insincerely.

"This is the Imperial Master, I will always take it with me after I am done. ”

Han Fen's smile came from the bottom of her heart, as sincere as a good child who had prepared a secret gift for her parents.

"Well, that's good. Come with me, I need your protection. ”

Han Fen put down the unfinished rag doll and stood up, completely changed into a person, even if she was standing in her tent, she was vigilantly observing left and right with her afterglow, she had entered the role and become the killer behind the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei was very satisfied, but Han Fen's crazy behavior left a deep impression on him, and he took a moment to imagine how the lotus girl had withstood Xiaoyue Tang's crazy training, and she had undergone a particularly big change, and still maintained her sanity.

As soon as they left the camp, they were followed, and after going around, the two flicked their tails in the artisan area and went all the way to the Livestock City in the Dalit District, which was also under surveillance, and Gu Shenwei found three secret sentinels, who were engrossed in waiting for the trap.

Gu Shenwei didn't need to go in to know what was going on inside, and the Dutch girl fled with Han Xuan and Shangguan Shaomin, leaving behind a mark that only Gu Shenwei could understand: a wooden stick standing on the left side of the tent dozens of steps away.

He even knew where the Lotus Maiden was hiding, but there was no need to look for it.

In the next step, Gu Shenwei planned to cross the entire Dragon Court, go to the northernmost Baihua Camp, and visit the Xiao Yan clan at night, the time was urgent, and he couldn't wait for the day to make arrangements.

When passing through the aristocratic quarter, Gu Shenwei noticed that the atmosphere had changed dramatically, all the camps were on guard, and heavily armed soldiers patrolled in groups, and the whole area seemed to be a barracks in a pre-war state.

But it was a barracks that lacked unity, and the guards between the camps were far more wary than the outsiders, and whenever patrol soldiers belonging to different masters approached or faced each other, sparks were brighter than the nearby torches.

The life span of the old Khan and the battle for the throne of the Khan were in the most delicate state, and the actions of King Khari had upset the balance, and everyone in the nobles of the Northern Court was in danger, all worried that a large-scale civil war was about to break out in advance.

This was a good thing for the nightcrawlers, as the safe passage between the tense camps was even wider than usual, so that Gu Shenwei was able to reach the northern exclusion zone quickly.

The Baihua Battalion is located in the forbidden area, and the vigilance here has not changed, except for a small number of troops directly under the old Khan King patrolling the perimeter, only the female soldiers are self-defense.

These female soldiers were all slaves of the Xiao Yan clan, and because of the whims of their masters, they changed into military uniforms, and their training was very short and extremely irregular, and they could not be compared with the female archers of the country of incense.

They were reluctant to put their helmets in their buns, and although they were on guard in a decent manner, they did not look out of the camp, but combed each other's hair, arranged the corners of their clothes, whispered privately, and laughed softly.

Such a defense is useless.

Gu Shenwei was more careful than when he crossed the aristocratic area, this was the Hundred Flowers Camp, which was inhabited by noblewomen and slave girls from all over the world, once it was discovered, even if it was just a rumor, it was enough to ruin the reputation of the Dragon King.

Han Fen changed to a pathfinder, she had to make sure that there was no ambush in the camp, and then inform the Xiao Yan clan of the Dragon King's visit, half an hour later, Han Fen quietly came out of the camp, signaling that the Dragon King could go in, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, as if she liked the task given by the Dragon King.

The tent of the little clan was very conspicuous, located in the middle of the camp, the largest and the most luxurious, the outermost layer was full of pale yellow silk, shining in the light of the fire, and the other noblewomen, even if they brought better tents, did not dare to compare with the hosts.

Gu Shenwei didn't enter the main tent, Han Fen took him to a small tent in the middle of nowhere, there was no fire around, so it was easy to hide and not attract attention.

Han Fen stayed outside.

Xiao Yan was wearing a loose casual dress and a long skirt, with no powder on his face, as if he had just been called up from sleep, but he didn't seem to be annoyed at all, but was in high spirits, which reminded Gu Shenwei of the scene when he called Shangguan Ru in the middle of the night.

"Your men are interesting. ”

"She doesn't know the rules. ”

"But he was very skilled, and went straight to my bed, and made my servants sleep like dead people. Xiao Yan shook her head with a smile, she didn't panic like an ordinary woman, she just felt regretful, "The whole dragon court is like a spring bison, and it is ruthless to kill everyone else, only me here, like an unguarded sheepfold, a wolf can break in, you are a wolf." ”

"In the Dragon Court, only the old Khan King is a wolf, and I am just another sheep, looking for my own kind in order to protect myself. ”

Xiao Yan laughed out loud, "Anyway, after you leave, I have to strengthen my defense, why is my female soldier not as good as the country of incense?"

"The difference between being on the battlefield and not being on the battlefield. ”

"Let's get straight to it. Xiao Yan suddenly ended his friendly cliché and became serious, "I'm tired of hearing gossip, but the Dragon King definitely doesn't want to be pointed at, right?"

Gu Shenwei really didn't want to, it took him a lot of time to cross the Dragon Court, and he really had to end this conversation as soon as possible, "I don't trust the Sun Chase King. ”

"Hmm. "Xiao Yan is both like an agreement and a question.

"The King of Rizhu claims to be the protector of the old Khan King, but I heard that the old Khan King has always wanted to weaken the power of the Naihang clan, and you and the Great Gang clan are both from the Naihang clan, and with such a big advantage, there is no need for the King of Rizhu to ask me for help. ”

"If you don't believe in the king of the sun, why do you believe me?"

"Because you hate him. ”

"Haha. Xiao Yan laughed heartily, but did not completely hide a trace of panic in his heart, "The Dragon King is really good at laughing, what gossip did you hear from a herdsman who is too old to only move his mouth?"

"I guess. ”

"Guess?" Xiao Yan's smile disappeared suddenly, "If you want to trap me, it's better to save it, I have an alliance of interests with the King of Richai, he needs to ensure the power of the Naihang clan, I need to keep my position, that's all, I can't talk about hatred or not, as for whether he wants to protect the old Khan King or not, it doesn't matter to me at all, it doesn't matter to you, your enemy is King Kuari, it's enough to know this." ”

Xiao Yan said a series of words, and Gu Shenwei became even more conjecture about himself, "I didn't want to take your words, let me finish speaking, no, you just drive me away, I'll go to the king of the sun and kowtow to him to admit my mistakes." ”

Say. ”

Gu Shenwei's speculation was not entirely imaginary, although the officials were reluctant to provide information to the Dragon King, Fang Wen still heard a lot of rumors about the Xiao Yan clan from various channels, which were mixed with truth and falsehood, but Gu Shenwei extracted some useful information from them, thus laying the foundation for speculation.

It's a bold guess, but it explains a lot of doubts.

"The poison on the knife that slew the son of the king of the sun was not smeared by my father. ”

"You can really defend Gu Lun, but what does this have to do with King Richai and me, anyway, his son is dead, and I will marry the old Khan King. ”

"It's the poison of the king of the day, he killed his own son, just to justifiably give you to the old Khan, who had already made a name for himself before you became famous, and the only obstacle was that you had already made a marriage. ”

Every time Gu Shenwei said a word, Xiao Yan's face would change again, surprised, confused, and even angry, "Who do you think you are? Immortal? Get out!"

For the first time, Gu Shenwei felt that he had grasped the true face of Xiao Yan, instead of being in a thick fog and being forced to accept her guidance.

"I'm not an immortal, I'm just like you, I'm someone who has made up my mind to take revenge. ”

Xiao Yan gasped violently, and for a moment, she seemed to shout and wake up the entire camp, but when she spoke, her voice was lowered, "Your enemy is Jinpeng Castle. ”

"The poison that was applied to the knife was provided by Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Are you sure?"

"That kind of poison is very special, there are not many people in the world who can make it, Jinpeng Fort is one of them, if the rumors are correct, the original day and Jinpeng Fort were very friendly. ”

Xiao Yan was silent.

Gu Shenwei figured it out from Shangguan Shaomin, the previous Dubu King had sworn to give up all secret techniques, but he retained the method of making female Gu, which meant that Jinpeng Castle might have more things in his private collection.

Since the Lotus Girl was very sure that Xiaoyue Tang had not sent anyone to the North Court, the most reasonable source of poison could only be Jinpeng Castle.

Gu Shenwei couldn't guarantee that his guess was accurate, but in front of Xiao Yan, he was confident.

Xiao Yan was silent for a while, "You are very smart, beware of being too clever and causing you a big disaster." ”

Gu Shenwei had heard similar words, and he wanted to say that he had been causing trouble all along, and the way to solve the big disaster was to cause a bigger disaster.

"I think we can reunite, really unite. ”

"You believe me, I don't believe you. Xiao Yan showed a trace of disdain, "You only brought more than fifty people in total, how can you beat the prince of the North Court?"

"I can't, with your strength, and I have a thousand soldiers from the Land of Incense. ”

Xiao Yan was still hesitating, she was deeply surprised by the dragon king's central matter, and had to accept all this slowly, "You go and save someone for me, and then lend me the female soldiers of the country of incense, and we will be united." ”

"Who?"

"Luo Ning tea, she was captured by King Kuari, but I made a big bet on her, and I can't just throw it away in vain. ”
