The Dragon Court Conference officially began, and the entire city suddenly more than doubled in size, and a large area was set aside on the outskirts for various competitions.

The style of the Beiting people is rough, writing and arithmetic are all headaches for them, and there is no way to manage the huge gatherings in every detail, the officials are only responsible for zoning and allocating venues, and as for the various competitions, they are all organized by the nobles themselves.

Although the dragon court is also scattered, it is better to divide the general streets and alleys, each time it is moved, these streets and alleys are almost intact, but there are no roads at the outskirts of the site, as long as there are no obstacles, any place can be crossed at will.

For the people of the Western Regions and the Central Plains who participated in the Dragon Court Conference for the first time, just the endless group of tents made people at a loss, just like a person who didn't know how to water saw the sea for the first time, and at the same time felt dizzy at the same time, and even dared not move around casually.

To the steppe people, everything was scattered, they knew where to buy and sell goods, they knew which contest which nobleman set up by which nobleman, and they could recognize to whom the land belonged by a glance of the fluttering flags.

It is not surprising, then, that many of the shepherds are followed by a number of outsiders who do not leave an inseparable individual.

Among the many competitions, the warrior competition, horse racing and military training, because they were personally funded by the old Khan, the rewards were rich, and they have always been the most concerned projects, and the teams that signed up lined up for a long time.

All those who want to win the prize money have to report their names on the first day, and the real masters usually serve the nobles without having to endure the pain of queuing, and their names are already registered, just waiting for the tournament to start.

The list quickly spread, and to the surprise and disappointment of many, the dragon king, who had openly challenged the three princes before, did not sign up for the warrior competition, but only sent a teenager as his representative.

Chu Nanping has just become famous, and finally satisfied everyone's curiosity a little.

Gu Shenwei did not participate in the competition because the reason Zhang Ji said could not be refuted: warriors, like horses, dogs, and soldiers, are the minions of nobles, and if the dragon king participates, he may win the title of warrior, but he will lose his already unstable kingship.

Even Fang Wen had to admit that what the enemy said was very reasonable.

Gu Shenwei is still confident, he almost made a major mistake, but Chu Nanping can help him make up for it.

Every time he experienced a fight, the boy's swordsmanship improved, and the martial arts of the proud building were more suitable for martial arts.

"We have to win, Dragon King, we must win, we have to make a bet with the three princes, once we lose, our reputation will be ruined, and we will not have a chance to see the old Khan King." Fang Wen was worried in his heart, and he was not particularly confident in Chu Nanping.

"If I lose, won't it prove that I am not capable of assassinating the old Khan?"

"These are two different things, first, the Dragon King did not participate in the competition, and second, Old Man Mu did not appear, the news of his and Shangguan Ru's disappearance has begun to spread, this ......"

Gu Shenwei made a little joke with the military advisor, but the expression on his face was too cold, Fang Wen didn't understand it, but regarded it as a serious question and refuted it one by one.

There are many places to worry about Fang Wen, the Dragon King is a guest of the North Court, and he needs to participate in official activities, and in the afternoon, mixed in the middle of a group of North Court princes and foreign monarchs, Gu Shenwei saw the carriage of the Old Khan King hurrying past from a distance.

Since arriving at the Dragon Court, this was the closest Gu Shenwei had ever been to the Old Khan King, with countless cavalry in bright armor and vigilant guards in between.

Killing people and saving people, Gu Shenwei accepted contradictory tasks from Wei Song and Xiao Yan respectively, and he hadn't decided which one to carry out, but when he saw the guards of the old Khan King, he couldn't help but judge them from the perspective of a killer.

There is almost no chance of success in ordinary assassinations, and the Cavalry Guards are impenetrable, forming an impenetrable sea of swords and guns, and even if they are lucky enough to break through, they will run into dozens of guards, all of whom are first-class masters, and any one of them is qualified to compete for the top of the warrior competition.

The killer was more cautious than ordinary martial arts practitioners, sometimes even to the point of timidity, and after a cursory look, Gu Shenwei knew that he would never risk his life to assassinate the aging Khan King.

Probably this is the reason why Zhang Ji came to Beiting.

When the killer's sword has nowhere to be used, it's time for the Strategist to step in.

Gu Shenwei tried to construct an assassination plan with the thinking of a teacher, and gradually had a prototype in his heart.

He hoped that the ceremony would end soon, so that he could spare time to meet Shangguan Shaomin.

Shangguan Shaomin was sitting in a small tent in fear, not knowing at all that a woman had already walked Huangquan Road for her, and she didn't know how many tribulations there were on the road ahead.

Gu Shenwei promised Shangguan Ru to save Shangguan Shaomin, and since Fu Yuan's death, he gave up saving people, but the surveillance of the Jinpeng Fort camp has never been relaxed.

Shangguan Yun got a fake niece and deliberately asked her to appear in the camp to test everyone's reaction, most of them were deceived, and across the road, Han Fen saw the problem at a glance, "The walking posture is not right, it's different from before." ”

Han Fen couldn't tell whether others were talking praise or disapproval, and she couldn't tell who was good-looking and who was ugly, and all she noticed were some strange details, such as walking posture, which were sometimes very useful.

Until the time when the lotus girl made an assassination plan, Gu Shenwei still held a realistic idea: Shangguan Shaomin had to die, and no one could help her.

What made Gu Shenwei change his mind was not his promise to Shangguan Ru, but a word from the military advisor.

"The granddaughter of King Dubu is also the smoke that accompanies death", Fang Wen felt that the person Xiao Yan and King Rizhu really wanted to kill was just King Kuri, Gu Shenwei also agreed with the judgment of the military advisor at first, and gradually, he had more ideas.

Shangguan Shaomin may be very important, Jinpeng Bao has put a lot of thought into her, King Kuari personally came forward to cooperate, and Xiao Yan's attention to her is also unusual, and a weak girl who doesn't know martial arts and has no one to defend herself is not the "sword" that the strategist Zhang Ji likes?

All this added up to make Gu Shenwei feel that he couldn't kill Shangguan Shaomin too early, at least he had to ask the truth.

Gu Shenwei changed his plan, and the lotus girl did it completely and did not ask questions, but there was a trace of doubt in her expression, and Gu Shen also had doubts for herself: was he looking for an excuse to fulfill Shangguan Ru's wish by doing so.

The addition of Mustang and Liman makes the whole plan even more perfect.

When Han Fen pretended to be Yahuan Xiaoyi and went to the Jinpeng Fort camp to issue an invitation, Shangguan Yun handed over all the fake nieces regardless of whether he suspected it or not.

The fake niece got an impression from Shangguan Yun, thinking that even if she encountered an accident, the other party was sent by the "little aunt" Shangguan Ru, who would only save people and not kill people, so she willingly followed Han Fen to escape, planning to go deep into the tiger's den to listen to information, which was a great achievement.

Mustang's knife was so fast that it was too late for her to beg for mercy when she realized that she was facing not a false threat but a real death.

Shangguan Yun probably felt that this was an opportunity to hide Shangguan Shaomin better, so he personally went out to find the "truth", and in order to be more realistic, he also took a lot of people from the camp.

Gu Shenwei's real plan was carried out -- to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Zhang Ji is scheming, but he doesn't know martial arts, he can use the killer appropriately, and when he faces the killer's attack, he has no power to fight back.

If it weren't for the constraints of the agreement, Gu Shenwei really wanted to take the opportunity to kill Zhang Ji, but he resisted the temptation and asked the lotus girl to only take Shangguan Shaomin away.

Shangguan Shaomin was in an "invisible" state, living alone in an inconspicuous tent, like a prisoner, not allowed to leave for half a step, and there were few guards around, which was also a form of protection to confuse the enemy.

What Shangguan Yun and Zhang Ji didn't expect was that they would encounter an enemy with a keen sense of smell.

Han Xuan came in handy, just as Han Fen liked to observe details such as walking posture, Han Xuan was extremely sensitive to taste, she could always find out where the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall were hiding, and on the first day she entered the North Garden, she smelled the aroma of women's fat powder in the team of Jinpeng Castle.

She has always been quite complaining about the Dutch girl, and she is reluctant to go on a mission with her, but the Dutch girl is surprisingly tolerant of her, "We are going to save a young lady, she is the same as your young lady, she is controlled by others, and she can't help herself." ”

Han Xuan was immediately moved, "I must be saved, and I have to help her find a good uncle after being saved." ”

The whole process of saving people was not alarming, the lotus girl roughly guessed the target's hiding place, Han Xuan "smelled" which specific tent, Shangguan Shaomin was also extremely cooperative, and when she saw the woman in black who suddenly appeared, she only felt panicked when she looked at her, and quickly calmed down, and asked in a low voice: "She sent you?"

"She" refers to Shangguan Ru, and Shangguan Shaomin was careful not to mention his name.

"Shangguan Ru. The Lotus Nu gave this reassuring name to help Shangguan Shaomin escape from the gap that had been drawn.

It wasn't until the next morning that the person delivering the meal found that the tent was empty, and at this time, everyone's focus was on the Dragon Court Conference that was about to start, and the name of the "Double Shadow Swordsman" Chu Nanping was spreading everywhere, and the news of the disappearance of the granddaughter of the Dubu Wang, along with the failed assassination at dusk yesterday, was annihilated, and few people heard of it.

Zhang Ji was furious once, he was a teacher, and he was defeated by the students, and then he understood that the Dragon King took a teenager around in the middle of the night to make a name for himself: to clear the suspicion, if you want to accuse the Dragon King of kidnapping, you have to come up with the most direct evidence.

The Jinpeng Killer secretly acted, and the already small Dragon Army camp was closely monitored, and even the servants who specialized in cleaning up the dirt were followed.

Shangguan Yun was not surprised at all, the Dragon King appeared everywhere, but the Lotus Girl disappeared.

The Dutch girl stayed by Shangguan Shaomin's side, showing her approachable side, and with Han Xuan's help, she finally asked a secret that even Shangguan Shaomin himself didn't know.

So, in a hurried meeting with the dragon king, the lotus maiden said to him, "You should meet her, things are more complicated than you think." ”

Gu Shenwei stood in the middle of a group of princes and nobles, pondering a strange word that the lotus girl told him - female Gu.

Shangguan Shaomin is a female Gu.
