Chapter 205: Fraudulent Corpse
The stone that pressed on Shangguan Fei's leg was actually not heavy, if he was calm and less afraid of pain, he could push it away.
The three killers moved away from the stones, Shangguan Ru helped his brother hastily bandage his wounds, and Liuhua went to pull out the horses hidden in the nearby valley and helped the Nine Young Masters up.
"I'll stay, you go. Gu Shenwei said that one person was needed to block the possible pursuers.
"No, let's go together. "Shangguan Ru is more determined than Huan Nu.
"Quick, you can't stay here, the fourth brother will catch up at any time. "Shangguan Fei is more anxious than anyone else, and he just wants to run all the way back to the stone castle.
The lotus girl glanced at Huan Nu, "Let's go, he knows what he's doing, and it'll be fine." She and Liuhua escorted the twins eastward.
Gu Shenwei looked to the west, where there was a young master of the Shangguan family who could be killed by him, and it was likely that he would not be punished afterwards.
After waiting for so long, I can finally recover a little blood debt with my own hands!
He let the horse graze freely nearby, got a stain of blood from the corpse, and then lay down on the ground beside another corpse, covered his face, his unsheathed sword in his hand, and his eyes looked at the sky, thinking nothing until he heard the sound of the horse's hooves.
More than a dozen people in strong suits came to the scene of the killing, several of them carrying only wide long swords, and a few of them were equipped with narrow knives in addition to long swords.
A big man jumped off his horse and said in a rough voice: "Shangguan Ruo, you explain what is going on, Daxue Mountain is not so easy to deceive." ”
The cold voice spoke, with disdain hidden in his tone, obviously thinking that Da Xueshan was so easy to deceive, "Don't you see, several of my people have also died? This is the work done by the top killers, probably your people missed the horse's feet and attracted the attention of the stone castle, listen to me earlier, and make a decision in the village, there will be no accidents." ”
"Not true. Another voice retorted, "Although those killers are covered with their faces, I think they are all teenagers, and there are little girls, as young as the killers brought by Shangguan Fei." ”
Shangguan Fei's killer died in the pile of rubble, there were a total of four masked "corpses" at the scene, and a swordsman walked over and ripped off his mask one by one, "It's all children, how did they do it, why did they die too?"
One of the swordsmen who had fled back to the village said "huh" several times in succession, "It's really weird, when I left, none of them died." ”
"When you fled. The rough and rough voice accentuated the tone of correction, as a swordsman in the Great Snow Mountain, it was really an indelible shame to be afraid of death and flee for his life.
Shangguan Ruo snorted coldly, they were all about to be extinct, and the people of Daxue Mountain were still arguing about such an illusory trivial matter, and they might have to fight for it later, and they would die without even waiting for the enemy to make a move.
He urged the horse to check the corpse, yes, these killers are estimated to have only ended their apprenticeships for a long time, "This is Shangguan Ru's killer." He finally understood, "The twins are here, and they can still chase ......"
The "corpse" came alive.
The horses were spewing hot and humid gas, and Gu Shenwei was confused, but he did not use his eyes to find the enemy's vital points.
The twenty-nine style swordsmanship is to stab at the same target from all angles, Gu Shenwei is lying on the ground, far away from the target sitting on horseback, but this does not affect his moves.
A ghostly sword stabbed out, and Gu Shenwei didn't even see what this fourth young lord looked like.
The boy struck with his sword and immediately rushed towards the horses in the wilderness, but after only one leap, he felt a threat from the back of his head.
This is the person he is on guard, the "green-faced" assassin that every young master of the Shangguan family is equipped with.
Gu Shenwei needs a little time, this is one of the small loopholes in the swordsmanship of the Book of the Dead, after a sword, the internal breath will always stagnate slightly, if the second target is not a master, it will naturally have no effect, if the next sword is to face a strong opponent, you must let the internal breath run at least once for a big week.
He didn't run any further, and when he jumped, he had left room for his toes to touch the ground, and his body jumped back to his original position.
Gu Shenwei passed by the "green face", and the cold and ruthless mask was like the face of death.
No one had time to make a move.
Shangguan Ruo sat still on horseback, his expression indifferent, as if he was out of the world, not interested in the small killings that took place in front of him.
Several killers and swordsmen had not yet woken up from the "corpse fraud" incident, and their hands had already grasped their weapons, and they had only pulled out half of them.
The duel between the boy and the green face was too fast, and they seemed to be the only ones who could move in a still picture, with swords and swords crossed and no one could see the result.
The boy took a big step, the first drop of blood falling from the ground, and the killer and swordsman had just drawn their weapons.
The boy took a second big step, a second drop of blood falling from the ground, and the swordsmen's mounts raised their front hooves.
The boy jumped up and jumped on the back of the horse that was grazing, the third drop of blood fell from the ground, the green face fell straight forward like a wooden stick that was not erected, the swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain let out a roar, and the nimble killers had already thrown their throwing knives.
Gu Shenwei crouched on the back of the horse and galloped away.
The swordsman and the killers looked at Shangguan Ruo together, waiting for his instructions, until the young man ran dozens of steps away, and everyone suddenly realized that the four young masters of Jinpeng Castle who were standing still were dead.
Gu Shenwei's only regret is that he didn't cut off his head.
He caught up with Shangguan Ru and the others in the mountain pass.
"Got it?" Shangguan Ru asked.
"Hmm. Gu Shenwei nodded.
"I'll explain everything to the Stone Castle. ”
"Hmm. ”
Gu Shenwei killed a young master with his own hands, this kind of thing can only be settled by the ten princes, Shangguan Ru lost his status in the eyes of the killers, but for the time being, he is still the favorite child of King Dubu in the stone castle.
The four of them traveled day and night, and after two days and two nights, they returned to Biyu City, and found that the rumors had arrived one step ahead of them.
The entire Biyu City heard that the twins in the stone castle were ambushed by the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, and both were killed.
The twins came back alive, which frightened many people and disappointed many people.
Mrs. Meng immediately sent someone down the mountain to inquire about the situation, and asked Doctor Sun from Beicheng to treat Shangguan Fei's leg, but sternly rejected her son's request to return to the castle, which was a critical period of family infighting, and retreating was tantamount to suicide, even if both legs were broken, he could not return home before the end of the trial period.
Loyal servants don't deliver bad news, so Mrs. Meng has no way of knowing the true state of the twins, let alone her son Shangguan Fei, who has completely lost his fighting spirit.
Shangguan Feigui retreated in the courtyard of the mansion in Beicheng, and the first thing he did after his injuries recovered was to send Qingnu to ask his sister for peace, he was willing to hand over all the territory, and even willing to join the Kun Society, as long as his sister could protect him.
Shangguan Fei's nine killers killed eight of them, leaving only one who stayed in Biyu City, he was worried that he would be assassinated, and those wolf-like brothers probably wouldn't care about breaking the order of Beicheng, he would rather hand over everything to show that he no longer had any intention of fighting for power.
On the surface, Shangguan Ru is in a better state, not frightened, Dubu Wang's daughter is tired of killing, and only the three killers know about this, and they will not divulge this secret.
She stayed in Nancheng, and the envoys sent to Shibao took all the responsibility, especially the assassination of the four young masters, which was her decision and order.
She originally intended to protect Huannu, but in the end, she earned herself unprecedented prestige.
"The 'Battle for the King' has begun. The residents of Biyu City whispered excitedly, and the older generation had suddenly become sought-after conversation partners, and everyone wanted to know the details of the last war.
The current Dubu King Shangguan Fa was a ruthless character when he was young, and all the people who experienced the "battle to win the king" swore that they were optimistic about this ruthless young lord at that time, don't you see, there are a group of widows in the stone castle? If you want to be the king of Dubu, you must first break off the righteousness of your own family, and the tenth prince is considered to have made a good start, maybe Jinpeng Fort will really elect a female castle master for the first time.
A small number of people of insight were very disdainful of these nonsense, and they said to those who were willing to listen: "The 'battle for the king' is still early, and the king is now in the prime of life, and he is not yet sixty years old, who dares to take the throne? Who has the ability to take the throne? A woman should be the king of the lone step, ha, it is even more of a joke, the king is willing today, and the hundreds of killers in the stone castle are not willing to do it." Wait and see, this is an accidental event, it will not cause a big war, and the four young masters died in vain. ”
A few people are often right, the so-called "battle for the king" really didn't happen, the fourth young master was originally Mrs. Meng's opponent, and his death only weakened the strength of the big young master's faction, and he couldn't fight back anymore.
Mrs. Meng hoped that the twins could launch a large-scale revenge, but Shangguan Fei refused to even go out of the door, and no one could guess Shangguan Ru's thoughts.
The tenth prince took over all of his brother's territory, and the Kun Society and the Qiu Society merged again, which is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface, which means that she has to bear the "peace charm" of 1.15 million taels for her family.
The three killers took on all the affairs for her, and Gu Shenwei took advantage of the "residual power" of the ten princes, and immediately made a decision, and took twenty of the most elite swordsmen to all the strongholds of several young masters in Nancheng.
It was these strongholds, nominally given to the twins, but in fact each of them was its own master, and refused to hand over the most core power, nor did he refuse to pay the monthly silver in advance.
Gu Shenwei would bring an extra knife every time, put it on the steward's table, and patiently explained the order of the tenth prince, "Either accept the knife or hand over everything." ”
The first to succumb was the stronghold of the four young masters, the master was dead, and the living naturally did not need to be loyal to them, the stronghold was abolished, everyone was merged into the Kun Society, and all the silver saved was handed over.
The strongholds of the other young masters were a little tougher, showing the intention of resisting to the end, until Gu Shenwei cut off the head of a steward in public, and things went smoothly.
No outsiders have seen the changes in the ten princes, Gu Shenwei wants to take this opportunity to increase his strength in the name of Kunshe, and he still has in mind the plan of Mustang to establish a team of swordsmen, and plans to do it, so when Kunshe finally collected 1.15 million taels of bribes, he had other ideas about the use of this money.
He was prepared for a clash with the money collector.
