Chapter 60: The Ritual
The four "thieves" were trapped in their rooms, unaware that their actions had caused an uproar in Jinpeng Castle.
The first to explain the situation to them was a middle-aged beautiful woman named "Aunt Tong", who was a servant brought by Mrs. Meng from her mother's family, and was highly favored.
Soon after Mr. Guo left, she came, and when she came in, she shouted "My two little ancestors".
The twins smiled when they saw her, rushed over together, pulled her arm and coquettishly, the knife-wielding boy hesitated for a moment, and decided to pretend not to see it, he received an order not to let the four of them out, but he didn't say that no one else would come in.
"Aunt Tong, you have to be the master for me, what's the matter with that Mr. Guo? Sneaked into my room, scared me, and imprisoned us here and let my shadow guards guard it, it's really the opposite, isn't my surname Shangguan?"
Aunt Tong pulled the two of them, crying and laughing, "And say, don't you know how much trouble you have caused?"
"It's just to go into the Six Killings Hall and play around, take some things and come back to see, what's the big deal?"
Shangguan Ru was fast-talking, and let her say everything, Shangguan Fei tried to interject and explain several times but didn't get a chance.
"It's not that you two don't know that the Six Killings Hall is usually not allowed to enter, especially not ...... The woman went in. ”
"My mother said that she wanted me to be a man who stood up to the sky, and what about women? Anyway, I went in, and there were many places in the stone castle that I was not allowed to enter, and none of them stopped me. ”
The more Shangguan Ru spoke, the more angry she became, Aunt Tong could only shake her head again and again, "It's easy to say in other places, but the Six Killings Hall is different from other places, but the person on duty tonight is Mr. Guo, he ...... Alas, come here and listen to me......"
Aunt Tong said a few words in Shangguan Ru's ear, Shangguan Ru let go of her arm and stomped her foot, "I went in, why did I push it on the minion!"
Gu Shenwei had been standing in the corner silently, and raised his head when he heard this, it turned out that this Aunt Tong wanted to put the blame on him, he was a slave and a man, maybe he could make a big deal small.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Ru opened her mouth and said it, Aunt Tong's head shook faster, and she sighed again, "Madame is going to meet the king, hoping to be in front of the Baiyi Courtyard, Madame asked me to tell you two that you are waiting here honestly, and you are not allowed to mistreat again." ”
"There's a man with a knife guarding here, what else can we do?"
Shangguan Ru said unconvinced.
"Aunt Tong, we should be fine if we return the things, right?"
Shangguan Fei is still young, and he is not as favored by his father as his sister, so he is inevitably worried in his heart.
"Don't worry, as long as Madame is here, who would dare to touch a single hair of you two?"
Aunt Tong comforted the twins a little and left in a hurry.
Gu Shenwei observed the words and expressions on the side, and found that Aunt Tong had not spoken to Shangguan Yushi from beginning to end, and Shangguan Yushi also looked a little nervous in front of her, and Aunt Tong's last sentence made him even more uneasy, "Who dares to touch a single hair of you two", which clearly does not include him and Shangguan Yushi.
Shangguan Yushi seemed to understand something, turned his head and glanced at Huan Nu, and in an instant, these two opponents who fought for Shangguan Ru to the death actually had a heart and understood each other's thoughts.
"You told the truth, didn't you? I knew you were plotting. ”
Shangguan Yushi took a step forward and suddenly said to Huan Nu sharply.
Gu Shenwei didn't know her specific plan, but immediately cooperated with the performance, "I'm not qualified to enter the Baiyi Courtyard at all, how can I tell the truth? I'm afraid that someone is playing double-faced." ”
"You say me?"
Shangguan Yu raised the wooden knife and slashed at Huan Nu.
Shangguan Fei didn't know why, so he hurriedly got out of the way, and shouted angrily: "At this time, you are still fighting." ”
Shangguan Ru got a hint from her cousin and waved her hands, "You two are endless, you want to fight and go out." ”
Although Shangguan Yushi said that he was acting, this knife was used with all his strength, and it seemed to have the meaning of a fake play, Gu Shenwei jumped to the side with his bare hands, pretended to be obedient, and ran out of the house, Shangguan Yushi looked aggressive, wielding a wooden knife and chasing after him.
The knife-wielding boy could let people in, but he couldn't let people out, and he pulled out half of the narrow knife with a bang, "Don't move." ”
Gu Shen was in a dilemma, so he had to turn around to deal with Shangguan Yu, one was fighting, the other was hiding, and he was getting closer and closer to the knife-wielding boy.
"Don't move!"
The knife-wielding boy shouted again, this time pulling out the entire knife.
Shangguan Ru was so angry that his face was red, and he rushed to the middle of the two, just at this moment, Gu Shenwei didn't stand firm for a step, and fell towards the knife-wielding boy, and the knife-wielding boy was slightly stunned, and slashed at this lifeless minion.
The knife-wielding boy learned martial arts in Jinpeng Fort since he was a child, although he learned the truth of "soldiers are not tired of cheating" very thoroughly, but he still lacked experience when he was in battle, and his stunned moment had already revealed his flaws.
Shangguan Ru repeated the old trick for the third time and popped out the nameless drug.
The knife-wielding young man's knife was only half-cut, and suddenly his whole body was sore, and he fell to the ground, and the narrow knife was out of his hand, and he fell into the master's plot again.
After the play was over, the three of them stopped, and Shangguan Fei in the back didn't understand what was going on, and looked at them in confusion.
"It must have been him. ”
Shangguan Yushi said, Shangguan Ru nodded, she thought the same way, and then took out a small iron box from her right sleeve and threw it to the ground, and said proudly: "The drug can be used three times, you probably forgot, right?"
Shangguan Yushi picked up the real knife on the ground and said, "Kill him." ”
Shangguan Ru looked at her cousin in surprise and took a step back, she just wanted to subdue the shadow guard, and she never thought of killing someone.
Only Gu Shenwei understood Yu Gongzi's thoughts, in order to save the twins, Mrs. seemed to be intentionally sacrificing unimportant people, so she simply made things bigger and tied the four of them together completely.
Gu Shenwei admired Shangguan Yu a little.
In the face of death threats, the knife-wielding boy did not beg for mercy, did not even show a look of fear, and was still struggling to get back on his feet.
"He listens to Mr. Guo's words, that is, he is an enemy of his wife and his master, he is no longer your shadow guard, do we want to let go of the betrayer and let him take credit from us?"
"You're not here for real, are you?"
Shangguan Fei's face was pale, and he looked even more frightened than the knife-wielding young man who was dying.
The effect of the medicine on the knife-wielding boy will soon pass, and Mr. Guo will come back at any time, and there is only such a momentary opportunity.
Shangguan Yushi handed over the narrow knife.
Shangguan Ru took the narrow knife, the tip of the knife was pressed against the chest of the young man with the knife, she had always disliked this shadow guard, he ruined many of her "big plans", and some things tonight also made her extremely annoyed......
The knife stabbed in and was pulled out again, and the boy clutched his shoulder without saying a word, blood gushing out from between his fingers.
Shangguan Ru's eyes were a little confused, but soon became firm again, and she returned the knife to Shangguan Yushi.
Shangguan Yushi stabbed the young man in the other shoulder, so that even if he lost the effect of the medicine, he would have no attack power.
She turned around and looked at Shangguan Fei, "It's your turn." ”
"What should I be, what should I be?"
"Give him a knife and let everyone know that the people of the Shangguan family are not allowed to betray. ”
Shangguan Fei shook his head vigorously and stepped back until he sat on the bed.
The knife-wielding boy could no longer cover his wounds, blood soaked almost the entire garment, and his expression was neither fear nor fear, but a shame that seemed to be self-contained.
One of the killer precepts of Jinpeng Castle is unscrupulous, and the teenager was plotted twice, like an excellent student who has always been at the top, but failed in the most important exam.
"Coward, it's a shame that you're a decent Shangguan kid. ”
Shangguan Yushi said disdainfully, and did not continue to force Shangguan Fei, she clenched the narrow knife and rushed to Shangguan Ru and said, "Let's do it together." ”
Yu Gongzi's contempt for Xiao Gongzi seemed to strengthen Shangguan Ru's mind even more, she bit her lip, nodded heavily, held her cousin's hand, and the two aimed the tip of the knife at the young man's heart.
Gu Shenwei suddenly walked up, held Shangguan Ru's hand, and without waiting for Shangguan Yu to make a statement, he had already strengthened his hand and stabbed the narrow knife deeply.
The boy let out his last breath and tilted his head to the side.
Three men killed him together.
On this night, no one wanted to kill anyone, but it just happened, and the knife-wielding boy became a victim, and no one knew or cared about his name.
The clenched hands, the murderous knife, the shed blood, and the lost life all combine to form a picture of an evil ritual, and the three of them have reached a profound tacit understanding, while Shangguan Fei, who is paralyzed on the bed, has become a complete outsider, he is so frightened that he has no strength to open his mouth to object.
Shangguan Ru killed for the first time, although her face was a little panicked, her dark and big eyes were terrifyingly bright, and they seemed to hide great strength and joy, which unmistakably proved that she was the descendant of King Dubu.
Gu Shenwei rushed to join the ceremony at the last moment, it was strange to say, he seemed to be able to guess every thought of Shangguan Yu now, the two were like Zen friends who had known each other for many years, and they could understand complex conclusions from each other's subtle movements.
"Throw him out. ”
Shangguan Yu ordered Huan Nu, and the more they understood each other, the deeper their dislike for each other.
Gu Shenwei was used to seeing dead people, so he was very calm, he didn't let himself think about how unjust the knife-wielding boy died, and he was not the one who made the decision.
Gu Shenwei grabbed the corpse's hands, and was just about to drag it, when someone pushed the door and came in.
It was Mr. Guo, and it was still so quiet, and no one in the room heard the footsteps.
Seeing the scene in the room, the unchanged respectful smile on Mr. Guo's face suddenly disappeared, revealing his ruthless true face, and in a blink of an eye, he put on a smiling face again.
"Ah, what a ruthless method. Young master, you have to be careful. ”
Jinpeng Castle currently has a total of eight young masters, and only one is not in front of the sequence, that is, the eldest son of King Dubu.
The young master appeared from the door, tall and burly, with a pair of eye-catching eye bags, almost occupying half of his face, he didn't look like a child of the Shangguan family.
"The king has an order, such as and Fei, to go to the outside of the Six Killing Hall to repent of their sins, and the servants cut off their heads and sacrifice. ”
His voice was cold, obviously he had no affection for his brother and sister, and he didn't look at the corpse lying on the ground, as if it were just the most normal decoration in the house.
