Chapter 231: Guards

The groom Lao Zhang is an ideal servant, loyal, simple, and strict-mouthed, only recognizing Shangguan Nu as a master, and his only love is to take care of horses, and never make friends.

is such a person, who was attracted by the young grandmother, blushing and heartbeating like an ignorant teenager, and was willing to do things for her.

Lao Zhang is a lonely person, after thinking about it carefully, Gu Shenwei can understand his mood, but he still can't understand Luo Ningcha's behavior, she didn't punish Lao Zhang, it's like an experienced killer suddenly showing mercy and letting go of the target who has no way to escape.

Gu Shenwei brought back the wooden board and handed it to the lotus girl, the tacit understanding between the two no longer needed language communication, the lotus girl retired, ostensibly to return the wooden board, but in fact, she would copy a copy, and then hide the wooden board, and would not hand it over to Mrs. Meng and Shangguan Ru at all.

The turmoil in the castle will make this board an important bargaining chip, and they will have to hold it firmly in their hands when it can be used to save their lives.

Luo Ningcha's mood was still very unstable, Gu Shenwei didn't talk much that night, after the lotus girl came back, she claimed that Mrs. Meng was very happy, and the young lady didn't have to worry about her own safety, Luo Ningcha finally relaxed a little, but issued a strange order, let the lotus girl stay outside, and Huan Nu stayed in the house.

Gu Shenwei was very embarrassed, he was seventeen years old, he was not a child, and staying in the hostess's room all night would cause countless criticisms, which was especially unfavorable to Luo Ningcha's current situation.

Luo Ningcha doesn't care about these, in her eyes, men, women, old people and children are the same, since they are servants, they have to listen to her orders, she regards Huan Nu as a stand-in for Xue Niang, and only wants to rely on his protection at the most dangerous moment.

That night, Gu Shenwei stayed like this, the young lady and the cui girl slept on the bed, the screen in front of the bed, the killer first left, and then came back secretly, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, standing in the corner all night, doing the duty of a guard killer.

He fully realized how painful it is to be a young lady's personal ring, Luo Ningcha woke up no less than ten times a night, the green girl barely closed her eyes, and at any time for the master to tuck the horns, beat the waist, serve tea, the room was dark, and the blind girl ring moved freely, not affected at all.

Gu Shenwei couldn't live in peace, Luo Ningcha's first sentence every time she woke up was "Are you there", and when Huan Nu echoed "in", she let Cui Nu serve her and fall asleep.

The next day, Gu Shenwei still didn't put forward his plan, now Luo Ningcha was in chaos, she would agree with whatever Huan Nu said, but Gu Shenwei would rather wait until the situation stabilized a little and Luo Ningcha had a deep understanding of her situation before trying to convince her.

What he wants is not impulsive recklessness, but the determination to fight against the water, not to mention, the Eighth Young Lord is only temporarily forgotten, and he has to deal with the attack that will come at any time.

At noon that day, Mrs. Meng sent a summons to Huan Nu to meet her.

If it were according to Luo Ningcha's meaning, it would be best for Huan Nu not to go anywhere, just stay by her side, but she is now afraid of Mrs. Meng to death, so she can only let her go, and before leaving, she told her thousands of instructions, "Go and tell Mrs. that I am sad and bedridden when my father dies, and once my body is better, I will personally go to the inner house to see my mother-in-law." Huan Nu, you are the most observant, you must find out what Madame is thinking, whether you want to take revenge on me, I will return the planks......"

After listening to the young lady's nagging, Gu Shenwei went to see Mrs. Meng, and as soon as he entered the inner house, Shangguan Ru greeted him, greeted him with a smile, and then whispered: "Follow me, don't be alone." ”

The last time King Dubu had a murderous intent, Shangguan Ru also reminded him of this, and Gu Shenwei understood that Mrs. Meng's summons this time was not so simple.

Mrs. Meng took off her amiable mask and had a showdown with the killer, she knew everything, Shangguan Fei wrote to his mother and told everything, including how Huan Nu played a game of two sides and three knives between him and his sister, the news of the death of the big head god had been reported for several days, and Huan Nu was reluctant to take such a good opportunity to get rid of the eighth young grandmother, which made Mrs. Meng angry.

"I thought you were a smart guy. Mrs. Meng opened the scene, did not let her daughter leave, and decided to let her know the true face of Huan Nu, "So I trust you and give you the opportunity to entrust my most precious pair of children to you, but you have disappointed me." ”

Gu Shenwei knelt on the ground on one leg and listened quietly, he knew that it was pointless to have a verbal dispute with Mrs. Meng, this woman was not Luo Ningcha, it was impossible to be persuaded by a few words, if he wanted to, he could easily kill everyone in this room, but he did not do so, but chose to seek protection from Shangguan Ru.

Before meeting Mrs. Meng, Gu Shenwei simply and concisely confessed to Shangguan Ru that he had "betrayed" her, and that before negotiating with Qiushe, he had pledged his allegiance to Shangguan Fei in exchange for his help and killed Ye Shilang at the negotiation site.

If Shangguan could understand Huan Nu's choice at that time, she only cared about one thing, "Yu Gongzi ......"

"I didn't know anything beforehand. Gu Shenwei immediately denied it, he was telling the truth, Shangguan Fei's move was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, "I am mortal enemies with Yu Gongzi, but I always remember the original promise and never thought of killing her." This sentence is lying, and the only reason he doesn't do it is because there is no proper opportunity.

After Shangguan Yushi assassinated Huan Nu for the first time, Shangguan Ru forced the two to swear never to fight again, and Gu Shenwei's "promise" refers to this matter.

"But she broke her promise, and used Mustang and Meng Mingshi twice and three times to harm you. Shangguan said faintly, unconsciously excusing Huan Nu, but when she thought of Yu Gongzi, it still made her heart ache.

"So I could only ask the Ninth Young Master for help at that time, and I couldn't let Young Master Yu know about my plan. ”

Shangguan Ru forgave Huan Nu, and even trusted him more than before, she had lost Yu Gongzi, and naturally cherished the remaining Huan Nu, and once she believed someone, she would find reasons for the other party's behavior, Gu Shenwei's behavior and explanation were not impeccable, but Shangguan Ru couldn't see it at all.

Therefore, when Mrs. Meng exposed Huan Nu's infidelity and hatred on the spot, it was her daughter who opened her mouth to defend herself.

Gu Shenwei lowered his head and listened, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, he deceived Shangguan Ru and used a little girl as a shield, but he quickly killed the ashamed in his heart, compared with the humiliation and pain he had endured in the past few years, Shangguan Ru's reward was not worth mentioning at all.

Mrs. Meng was furious, unable to understand that her daughter was on the side of Huan Nu, in her opinion, this was also a betrayal, "Shangguan Ru, do you still think I am your mother?"

"Mother. Shangguan Ru's tone was soft but firm, "Let Huan Nu go, we have enemies, why do we want to kill our own people?"

If he were his own person, he would not sow discord between you and Fei'er, and he would not have one servant and two masters, so he should have brought me the head of the eighth daughter-in-law a few days ago. ”

Shangguan Ru stood beside Huan Nu, her murderous intent almost disappeared, but her temperament was still as stubborn as before, "Mother, my brother hates me, it has nothing to do with others, I know what Huan Nu does, he acts according to my orders, he can't help himself, the eighth sister-in-law is now broken and has nothing, what are you going to kill her for? Besides, she still has what we want in her hands, let alone kill her." ”

"Presumptuous. "Mrs. Meng is not the kind of person who does whatever she wants on a whim, in order to get rid of Huan Nu, she has been fully prepared, the only thing she didn't expect was that her daughter turned her elbow outward, completely inconsiderate of her mother's hard work.

Five black-clad and masked killers got the hint and appeared at the same time, three surrounded Huan Nu and Shangguan Ru, and the other two stood in front of Madame Meng to prevent her from being accidentally injured.

Shangguan Ru's ruthlessness in her heart was stimulated, just like when several of them were blocked in the house by Mr. Guo, the person she wanted to protect would rather die than let him be hurt, so she pulled out a narrow knife before the killers, "Who dares to come over?"

The killer didn't dare to hurt the tenth prince, but he didn't want to be cut by her, so they all stopped in place, waiting for Mrs. Meng's order, as long as she nodded, then no one could not be killed.

Mrs. Meng made the only concession since she was favored, "Ru'er, you make me sad so much, how did you become like this?

Shangguan Ru would rather her mother didn't mention this name, for her, the important thing is not the person of Shangguan Yushi, but the layers of fog that shrouded her, her relationship with Meng Mingshi, her feelings for the tenth son, everything is true and false, everyone's statement is different, but she will never return with the truth.

Shangguan Ru personally escorted Huan Nu back from the inner house and reminded him to be careful, "Let the eighth sister-in-law hide the last plank, and your lives are pinned on it." ”

Gu Shenwei had just escaped the pursuit of the sword lord Shen Liang, and he ushered in a more difficult enemy, and the longer he stayed in the stone castle, the more difficult it was to keep it a secret, and he began to think about escaping, but before that, he had to carry out his plan to assassinate the Dubu King.

The opportunity was just that, he thought, as long as there was a glimmer of life, he had to continue to hide.

Luo Ningcha waited anxiously, and when he saw Huan Nu coming back, he asked him, "How is it?"

"No, she's going to kill me. ”

"But...... But I've already returned the plank. ”

"Madame is ruthless and loves to hold grudges, so Miss should not mention the matter of the plank in the future, and the Dutch girl and I will protect Miss's safety. ”

"Can you really protect me? Madame can call on all the killers. ”

"Miss, don't worry too much, not everyone is willing to listen to Mrs. Meng's words, the stone castle belongs to the king, not her, we still have a chance." ”

"Chance? the big-headed god is dead, how can I still have a chance?" Luo Ningcha cried, facing the double attack of grief and fear, she was like a mouse forced into a corner, with neither the power to parry nor the way to retreat, "Take me away, Huan Nu, escape from this cold stone castle, I have never liked it, I have countless treasures, let's escape together." ”

Gu Shenwei also has a plan to escape, but not now.
