Shangguan Nu still remembers that afternoon: the young man was practicing his sword hard, and when he turned his head sharply, he immediately showed an expression of anger and hatred, as if he was about to pounce, but immediately regained the respectfulness of a servant.

At that time, there was a huge gap in the strength of the two, and it is still the case now, but the strength and weakness have been reversed.

This is his own servant, Shangguan reminded himself angrily, when he entered the room of the dragon king, he raised his head and looked at the other party coldly, and suddenly, he regained a little bit of the former demeanor of the eighth young master.

The Dragon King invited him to come, since he couldn't escape, Shangguan Nu didn't want to run anymore, in short, he had been betrayed by everyone, and avoiding the Dragon King would also fall into the hands of Jinpeng Castle.

When death came, the fear of death was shattered.

Gu Shenwei had never regarded Shangguan Nu as his master, he looked up and was surprised that the other party had become so old, so he said, "Long time no see, I'm so glad you're still alive." ”

Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the Dragon King meant to say that he was very happy to be able to take revenge with his own hands, "You just agreed not to kill people again during your mission to Beiting. ”

In his imagination, he would calmly meet his fate, even if there was little hope, he would have to fight hard, but when the words came to his mouth, he still couldn't help but look for a reason to live.

Gu Shenwei had just talked to the envoy of the North Court, and the other party promptly plugged the loopholes in the agreement, asking the Dragon King not to kill people in public at will unless he encountered provocations in the future, and Shangguan Nu never wanted to provoke

"Yes. Gu Shenwei admits this, thanks to Zhang Ji's teaching back then and the experience of reading books in the White Clothes Academy, he is better at finding flaws literally than most people, but this ability is often covered up by the identity of the Dragon King and the killer, "But this is my agreement with Beiting and Jinpeng Castle, it is invalid for outsiders, are you still from Jinpeng Castle?"

Shangguan Nu once dreamed of capturing Jinpeng Fort with the support of the Central Plains and winning the title of Dubu King, so he thought that he was the owner of the stone castle that was outcast, but when the king showed far more ambitions than expected, his dreams and self-confidence shattered at the same time, and he finally admitted that he was no longer a member of the stone castle.

Jinpeng Fort used to be his protective shell, but it was broken by Shangguan Nu himself, he didn't want to feel sorry for himself, let alone give in, so he mustered up all his courage and pulled out his narrow knife, "Come on, Huan Nu, let me see if your sword skills are as powerful as the legend." ”

Shangguan Nu wanted to provoke his opponent with his former name, a common tactic used by killers when they had to face the enemy head-on.

But he obviously used the wrong move, and the Dragon King was indifferent to it, and didn't even draw his sword, as if Shangguan Nu was just a little kid wielding a toy, and there was no need to be on guard.

Gu Shenwei rolled up his cuffs, revealing the brand on his right arm, an ugly scar, the word "Huan" that can never be erased, this is the mark that every Jinpeng Fort slave, regardless of status, has it, but the words are different.

"I look at it at least once a day, think about the ridiculousness of Fortune Wings, think that a mark can bind people's hearts, and remind myself never to make a similar mistake again. ”

From the first sight of the two meeting, Shangguan Nu did not see the excitement of revenge on the Dragon King, the years changed his face, and it seemed that it had also corroded the hatred of the Dragon King, and now he understood that the hatred had already penetrated into his body, occupied all his heart, and no longer needed the imprint of appearance.

Shangguan's left hand holding the knife was trembling, and he also stretched out his right arm, and the palm of his hand was cut off by the king's own hand, and replaced with a cold iron hook, which was his mark, but he never dared to look at it more, let alone show it in front of outsiders, sometimes just a curious look would provoke his murderous intent.

When he entered the house, his confidence in treating the dragon king as a slave gradually disappeared to the point that there was no difference, and the huge difference between him and the young man in front of him was not only martial arts, but also willpower, Shangguan Nu suddenly thought that the reason why he couldn't achieve anything was probably that his willpower was not firm enough.

He is ambitious, but not big enough, he just wants to return to Jinpeng Castle to be the king of Dubu, which is not worth mentioning compared to his father.

He has hatred, but it is not deep enough, and even deliberately avoids the fact that he has a broken palm, in the face of the hatred of the dragon king's King Kong Mountain, he is like a small stone, and he will roll to the side when he is subjected to a little external force.

Shangguan's angry mood changed in an instant, and then he laughed, looked up to the sky and laughed, with madness and sadness, suddenly stopped, and said: "Killing a person doesn't have to be so complicated, killing and being killed are the same thing, I have nothing to complain about, and I don't need to be taught." ”

"What if I give you a 'teaching' to live?" No matter how the other party's mood changed, Gu Shenwei was unmoved, the Shangguan Nu in front of him not only changed his appearance greatly, but he couldn't even control his temperament, and he was no longer worthy of being called a killer.

Shangguan Nu knew that the Dragon King would say something similar, the narrow knife in his hand hung down, but his body was straighter, as if he was a few years younger, "Zhong Heng asked me, the two Protectors asked me, many people asked me, and I answered you the same as they did: I won't tell you who the instigator of the Gu Clan's extermination is, even if I stand in front of the King of Hades and endure all the punishments in hell, I won't say." ”

One of the Fortune Wings Killers' external principles is unscrupulous, but internally there is another set of principles that are more effective than anything else, requiring the killers to remain infinitely loyal to the Stone Castle and keep the secrets of their employees.

In the battle of Haipo, even though they knew that they would likely be punished by killing their heads after returning to the fort, the killers still protected Shangguan Jianyi's body to see King Dubu, and their thoughts in their hearts were probably similar to Shangguan Nu.

This loyalty, born from the fear of the first day of joining Jinpeng Castle and the years of uninterrupted training in servitude, is a seared mark on the heart.

Maybe it's still pride, Shangguan Nu has lost everything, identity, status, martial arts, ambition, only this thing is left.

Even so, as long as the method is done properly, it can still pry open the killer's mouth, Gu Shenwei has made a successful attempt, and it is more troublesome to remove the mark on his heart, but it is not impossible.

"You don't say it, because you don't know at all. Gu Shenwei said suddenly, not giving the other party a chance to refute, "Because in Shangguan Fan's eyes, you are a mediocre son, at most you are a sword master, a tool for performing tasks, where to go, there is no need to tell you important secrets." ”

Shangguan Nu's face seemed to be burning, the dragon king said what was in his heart, his father's contempt was the turning point of his fate, and deep down, his most wonderful fantasy was that his father cried bitterly in front of him, admitting that he had seen the wrong eight sons in the past.

This is a secret that cannot be shared with anyone, but it is casually revealed by the Dragon King.

Shangguan angrily stabbed him.

This knife is still fast and powerful, the years have eroded the appearance and mood, but the narrow knife and arm have been tempered, the thirty-year-old Shangguan Nu, at the peak of his prime, has practiced for many years with his left hand knife technique, which has surpassed the right hand of the year.

Finally, he had the opportunity to see the legendary Dragon King's sword technique, simple, sharp, and bland in the eyes of the layman, only experienced killers could appreciate the subtlety.

Knife technique is just a method, and there are some qualities that are very important to martial arts, and there will be no improvement in the slightest after practicing for a hundred years, such as alertness, such as the grasp of the timing of the knife.

Sometimes "fast" is just a feeling, and a precise knife at the right time will give the opponent the impression of being the first to strike, like grabbing a fly with a wave of your hand, it seems much faster than staring at a fly and scratching it, although the former is likely to be just luck and chance.

A true master will turn chance into necessity and keep luck by his side forever.

Shangguan Nu felt that Luck had never liked him.

The narrow knife fell to the ground, staggered back, and the last bit of confidence in Shangguan Fu's heart disappeared, and the fear of dying took advantage of the void to taste the last moment of deliciousness.

He felt the blood all over his body cold, as if it was pouring out of a huge opening, and he looked down for the wound, but he couldn't find it.

Gu Shenwei walked in front of Shangguan Nu, and the Wufeng knife in his hand was flat on the other party's shoulder.

Shangguan was angry and knelt down involuntarily, everything that supported his pride was broken, he was in a short period of confusion, looking up at the dragon king, his mouth was open and closed, as if he was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but he didn't say a word, but swallowed something.

Gu Shenwei stuffed a pill into his mouth, took a few steps back, and said, "Today, I will spare you from dying, live well, and next time, I will take your life." ”

After a while, Shangguan Nu understood the meaning of the Dragon King's words, used his hands and feet together, rushed out of the door in a panic, used all his strength, ran back to his residence, fell on the bed and trembled, and didn't even think about what the Dragon King let him eat.

This is the true self, and Shangguan Nu is deeply disgusted by this.

Gu Shenwei didn't kill Shangguan Fu, not because of pity, it was his emotion that he had already cut the grass and roots, but because he had an agreement with Wei Song.

Wei Song will let the Dragon King see Shangguan Fu, but only after the successful assassination of the Old Khan King will this person's life go to the Dragon King, and if he does it in advance, it will be considered to terminate the conspiracy.

The hatred in his heart is getting deeper and deeper, but Gu Shenwei is more comfortable with it than before, there is always a contradiction between immediate interests and long-term interests, and he has learned how to reconcile the relationship between the two.

Like Wei Song, Shangguan Fu couldn't escape Gu Shenwei's grasp, and when Gu Shenwei wanted to kill someone again, even if he was thousands of miles away, he could let these two people obediently send them to the door.

Shangguan Nu had just run out when the guards came in and reported that Shangguan Fei had asked to see him.

Shangguan Fei looked surprised, "Is that my starling......?" The change is really too great, and it is estimated that the eighth sister-in-law is not even willing to look at him now. ”

The already weak family affection in Shangguan Fei's heart has long been worn out, and he is only surprised by the current situation of Starling Shangguan's anger, without a trace of sympathy.

"What's the matter?" Gu Shenwei remembered that he hadn't summoned him.

"What a coincidence, Shangguan Yun is also here, and he is also going to Beiting, and he wants to go with us. Shangguan Fei was used as a microphone by both sides, and he was used to this role, and he didn't even need to explain much.

"Okay. ”

"Shangguan Yun also brought a person, Zhang Ji, who used to teach in the school, I don't know if the Dragon King still remembers him, the old guy is different now, he used to be arrogant, and now his eyes are almost on the top of his head, and he actually said to me with a big grin, 'Go and call the Dragon King, I want to see him', you say it's ridiculous?"

Gu Shenwei didn't feel ridiculous at all, on the contrary, his vigilance was even stronger than when facing the anger of Shangguan with a knife.
