The boy was about ten years old, walking alone in the winter night, his skills were still immature, but his mind was mature, and he did not show any nervousness, and he touched the door of the inn in the innermost part of the alley, and untied the narrow knife behind his back.

The narrow knife was unsheathed, too large for the boy, and he held it casually in his hand as if it were a simple task to which he was accustomed.

The boy jumped over the wall and entered, and it wasn't long before he pushed the door out of the store, and the knife was already back on his back.

He seemed to be very proud, his steps were lighter than when he came, and he walked out of the alley quickly, and made a circle in the direction of the north of the city.

Gu Shenwei quietly followed.

The innkeeper must have inadvertently grasped some very important information, and he didn't think about it in front of the dragon king, and was assassinated as a result.

Such a young child, Jinpeng Castle is full of masters, and he will never be given the opportunity to come out to perform the task, it may be an apprentice trained by Hu Shining.

The group of children who stayed at the base of Shule Country were basically personally selected by Gu Shenwei, but he was only impressed by a few of them, and even if he was face to face with the boy walking in front at this moment, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize the calendar.

After walking a few streets, the boy felt completely safe, and quickened his pace into a complex alleyway.

In order to shorten the distance between the two, Gu Shen was ambushed at a corner, when the boy's figure had just disappeared in the moonlight, and the hidden weapon shot out from behind a tree close to his right, only a few feet away from him.

The secret weapon came very suddenly, but it did not have the power of the little prince in the palace chamber, Gu Shenwei followed all the way, and what he was wary of was being led into a trap by the target, so he was prepared in advance for possible ambush locations along the way.

He took a small step forward, just enough to dodge the hidden weapon, and then jumped onto the courtyard wall on the right, just in time to catch up with the ambushers who were about to flee.

The ambusher, dressed in black, was obviously surprised by the dragon king's interception, jumped into the courtyard, and was about to get up again, when the cold blade was already close to his neck.

"Lotus girl!" the ambusher whispered, saving his life with these two words, revealing the woman's voice.

Gu Shenwei was very familiar with the ambusher's body, and knew that she would jump up and down many times in a row, changing direction each time, until he got rid of the tracker, and then sped up and moved straight ahead, so he could block the opponent's path first.

The owner of the house seemed to hear the voices outside, and called out dimly.

Gu Shenwei put the narrow knife on the female assassin's neck, forcing her to retreat, leaning against the courtyard wall, she was very cooperative to remain silent, and raised her hands to her ears, indicating that she would never resist.

The owner coughed a few times, found that there was no more sound outside, and fell asleep again.

"I'm here to save you. The female assassin whispered, deliberately exhaling into the dragon king's face, as if she knew him well.

Gu Shenwei, the mad woman's tricks in Xiaoyue Hall, had been taught, so she immediately raised her left hand to block the faint breath, and at the same time strengthened her right hand, signaling the other party to shut up.

The female assassin was obedient, her body stiffened suddenly, and she didn't even blink her eyes.

She was more like a child than the little boy Gu Shenwei followed, and she didn't take danger seriously, thinking that the knife around her neck was just a fun game.

After waiting for a while, the people in the room were completely asleep, and Gu Shenwei whispered, "Evidence." ”

The Lotus Girl should have returned from Biyu City a long time ago, and her delay in returning was also something that Gu Shenwei was very puzzled about, but this female assassin had an indescribable cheerful temperament, which was incompatible with the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall he had seen.

"Look at my sword. The female assassin's eyes moved downward, and her tone became more familiar.

Gu Shenwei didn't look down, still staring at the other party's eyes, and took out the long sword that the female assassin had inserted in his belt with his left hand.

As the scabbard left her body, it seemed to touch her itch, and the female assassin involuntarily twisted her waist slightly, letting out a hearty laugh.

She also seems to be a madman, but her madness is diametrically opposed to that of ordinary Xiaoyue Hall disciples.

None of this interfered with Gu Shenwei, he held his breath to prevent inhaling the drug, and then took a quick look at the sword in his left hand by the moonlight, nothing special, he couldn't recognize the mark of the lotus girl.

"Pull it out. The female assassin whispered, a little anxious, and ignored the narrow knife resting around her neck, holding the scabbard with both hands.

Gu Shenwei used a slight force, and pulled out a half-cut sword.

The lotus girl has two swords, the hilt of which is engraved with the words "Huan" and "Yun", and the sword broke when she ambushed the old man in the desert, but she never threw it away.

It was the sword of the word "Huan" that the female assassin handed over.

"The Imperial Master carried it with him like a treasure, and he hesitated for a long time before lending it to me, and the Dragon King wouldn't fail to recognize it. ”

Why did Xiaoyuetang stab himself, and claimed that it was to save people? Gu Shenwei was puzzled, but he couldn't speak here, so he inserted the broken sword back into the sheath, slowly put away the Wufeng knife, and jumped out of the wall first.

The female assassin shook her head, as if she thought the dragon king's behavior was funny, and then jumped out as well, knowing that she could not escape.

The boy was nowhere to be found, and Gu Shenwei had to return to his residence.

Upon entering the tent, the female Assassin quickly pulled out the flint, lit the oil lamp on the table, and then stepped aside, standing with her hands down, not like a captive, but like the dragon king's ring.

"What's your name?" Gu Shenwei already believed in her a little, and his tone softened a little.

The female assassin caught the change in the Dragon King's mood, her two eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she casually ripped off her mask, revealing a young and cheerful smile, "My name is Han Fen, the 'Fen' of 'Fragrance', and I am a disciple of the Xiaoyue Party and the most trusted person of the Imperial Master. ”

If she wasn't boasting, the lotus girl was obviously a little distracted this time.

"Why haven't I seen you?" Gu Shenwei had come into contact with many Xiaoyue Hall disciples in Biyu City, and there was no such Han Fen among them.

"The Imperial Master said that the most trusted people should hide in the shadows, and I have been hiding in the shadows, and this is the first time I have come out on a mission. ”

"Why did you assassinate me?"

"I'm saving you, but I also want to know how good the Dragon King is, so let's give it a try, the Imperial Master is right, you are really powerful. ”

Han Fen said easily, but Gu Shenwei knew that she had used all her strength for the hidden weapon just now, and she didn't mean to "try it" at all, this crazy energy was a bit like Xiaoyuetang, but her appearance of staring at the void and enjoying herself was too different from Xiaoyuetang's gloomy style.

And she didn't say what Gu Shenwei wanted to know most.

Han Fen met the cold eyes of the Dragon King, calmly, as if he had seen a strange animal, he looked at it carefully, and it took a while to understand, "Oh, you want to know what's going on with that boy, hehe, you don't say it, I thought you were going to find a flaw in me, I am indeed a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, the most trusted person of the Imperial Master, I have the mark engraved by the Imperial Master, I don't believe you." ”

Han Fen started to untie his clothes, Gu Shenwei felt that his patience had always been very good, but at this time it was a little insufficient, so he stretched out his hand to stop her, "No need, you talk about the boy first." ”

"Yes, yes, uh, yes, the boy is going to lead the dragon king into a trap, and I can't let you be fooled. ”

Just such a simple sentence, and if there is no follow-up, Han Fen seems to feel that everything she knows, the Dragon King also knows, so she just needs to prompt it.

After a difficult conversation, Gu Shenwei identified two things.

First, Han Fen is normal on the surface, but she is a complete madman in her bones, so she is sure that she is undoubtedly a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, her thinking is different from normal people, she never turns around, let alone thinks about one more step, unless the question raised is extremely clear, she is likely to talk about small things that are close at hand, such as the Dragon King's clothes are a little old and the like.

Secondly, the boy was indeed the bait that lured the dragon king to the bait.

There is a reason why the lotus girl has not returned for a long time, it is a bit long to say, and Han Fen is a flashback, Gu Shenwei took a little time to sort out the causes and consequences in a normal order.

In the last ** month of the Imperial Master's absence, the Xiaoyue Hall disciples in Biyu City are still operating in an orderly manner, they are like a group of wooden people controlled by the organs, once the task is set, they will bury their heads in the end.

Dubu King did not turn a blind eye to the various forces under the mountain, and he just wanted to solve it at one time, while the Beiting Iron Cavalry launched a war in the entire Western Regions, the killers and swordsmen of Jinpeng Fort also began to clean up the hidden enemies in the north and south cities, and those who were inclined to or sympathized with the Dragon King were all hit to varying degrees.

The disciples of Xiaoyue Hall did not react faster than others, but the hall master and the imperial masters had already formulated a backup plan for them, and as soon as they found out that the Jinpeng killer had moved, they immediately dispersed and hidden, some escaped from Biyu City, some went deep into Beicheng, and only a few people were killed.

In the process of hiding, they still tirelessly gather information, and although it is not clear what the use of this is to do so, orders are orders, and there is no second way to understand them.

She comprehensively analyzed the information obtained by everyone, and found many useful clues, one of which attracted her attention the most: a group of robbers who had openly taken refuge in Jinpeng Castle had set off for Xiaoyaohai, but instead of taking the most convenient eastern road, they were heading to the Shule Kingdom to the west.

The leader of the bandits is called Chilu, who once fell into the hands of the dragon king, was bought by the merchants of the northern city for money, and put out a fake corpse, and now he no longer has to hide and pretend to be dead.

The lotus girl left half of her disciples and continued to inquire about information, leading the other half, a total of more than 40 people, to leave Biyu City in batches, and also set out westward to track the traces of Chilu's group.

As soon as he left the boundaries of Biyu City, Chi Lu changed his name, instructed his subordinates to call friends, made generous promises, and cobbled together an army of more than 1,000 people to enter Huiguo from the west road.

This was nearly two months ago, and the Dragon King had not yet been invited, and the Lotus Girl suddenly left with most of the disciples, leaving behind Han Fen and the "Huan" word sword, and ordered her to prevent the Dragon King from entering the ancestral temple at all costs, and the boy who came out to kill people in the middle of the night was to lure the Dragon King there.

"Where is the ancestral temple?" Gu Shenwei was used to Han Fen's way of speaking, and asked as directly and clearly as possible.

"North of the palace. It was the place where the king was buried. Han Fen played at a super level, and actually answered a question from the Dragon King in advance.

"What's the trap there?"

"I don't know, the Master said, don't go near that place. ”

Gu Shenwei frowned, he didn't understand what the purpose of the Dutch girl's arrangement was, and he was a little more suspicious of Han Fen, and then it was completely out of the inertia of thinking in the past two days, he asked: "Have you ever seen a young man with a long sword and a ...... look?"

"He looks like a little girl!" Han Fen said excitedly, "Yes, I almost thought he was a fellow disciple I didn't know, but his brain is not very good." ”

Han Fen pointed to his head seriously, "He was tricked, he was led to the ancestral temple by others, and he never came out again." ”
