Chapter 193: Around

Shangguan Hong's body stayed in the Protector's Mansion for a day, and after nightfall, it was sent back to Xiaoyue Hall, and placed in a cold small room, two candles flickering in a dim light, occasionally flickering, reflecting the corpse as if it was alive.

The lotus girl stood in the shadows and had been observing for a while.

The corpse was on the body, and the people from the Protector's Mansion had obviously cleaned it, and several wounds were clearly visible, and it was easy to distinguish between new and old injuries.

"This person has no hatred for Shangguan Hong. She said, as if talking to herself.

Gu Shenwei stepped out of the shadows opposite her, "He failed to kill Shangguan Hong the first time, so he must succeed the second time." ā€

The lotus girl glanced up at the Dragon King and continued to stare at the corpse, "Xiaoyue Hall has a gate. ā€

"There are walls too. Gu Shenwei said that the door is used to bypass, and the wall needs to be jumped over, which is the habit of killers.

The Lotus girl sneered, "Is my reaction still satisfying you?"

"I never doubted you. ā€

"Even if the assassin uses the Dead Man's Scripture swordsmanship, you don't doubt me?"

Gu Shenwei had carefully examined Shangguan Hong's corpse and found that the fatal wound had an obvious style of the Dead Man's Sutra swordsmanship, judging from the subtlety of the assassin's swordsmanship, the assassin's swordsmanship was already at the level of a master, and Shangguan Hong didn't even have time to pull out the soft sword at his waist.

"I can't find a reason why you killed Shangguan Hong. ā€

"The disciples of Xiaoyue Hall are all crazy, and they don't need a reason to do things. The Dutch girl said coldly, looking proud of the "madman" statement.

"I just want to find out who is responsible. ā€

The lotus girl was silent for a while, "It's all your fault, you explained the Sutra of the Dead in such detail in the Bodhi Garden Palace, and you can't make sure that someone understands it, so you become a master and a murderer." ā€

"It was you who taught the Dead Sutra everywhere, so that Xiaoyue Hall had almost one share. ā€

"You were the first to pass on the Book of the Dead to your 'meritorious men', even soldiers who had never used a sword. ā€

"That's just a part of the sword intent, not the Dead Man Sutra itself. ā€

"I didn't hand over the full text to the mustang either, you take a small step, I take a big step, that's all. ā€

The lotus girl looked at the corpse, Gu Shenwei looked at her, and the two accused each other in a flat tone, adding a little heat to the cold room.

Gu Shenwei sighed, "I'm not here to argue with you about this. ā€

"You're looking for a murderer? I suggest you investigate the people around you. As for the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, their surnames and orders all belong to me, and you are not allowed to touch them. If the Assassin is one of them, you are not allowed to touch it, and that kind of master is exactly what I need. ā€

"Your injuries are healed?" Gu asked cautiously, choosing to avoid rather than-for-tat.

The lotus girl glanced up at the Dragon King for the second time, and her tone didn't change at all, "Okay, I owe you a favor, I can pay it back at any time, who do you want to kill, the Central Plains or the Dubu King?"

"I just want to find out who is responsible. Gu Shenwei repeated.

The lotus girl snorted softly, "None of your people are dead, why worry? This should be a matter of my heart with the Dubu King." ā€

"I don't like people who hide in the shadows, whether they are enemies or friends. ā€

"Because you want to hide in the shadows yourself. ā€

Gu Shenwei nodded, everyone wants to monopolize the benefits, and he is no exception.

The lotus girl suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Follow me." ā€

Shangguan Fei really didn't want to leave the Protector's Mansion one step, Biyu City, which was safe for him yesterday, was a jungle full of traps today, and it was the wisest choice to stay in one place.

But he had to get out of bed, and Madame Meng doted on him, but she was also very strict, and would be very angry if she knew that he did not show up for the appointment.

He had already violated one of his mother's plans, and he was supposed to meet the Dragon King before going to Xiaoyue Hall, but because of an assassination, the Dragon King was very busy all day, Shangguan Fei didn't dare to disturb or want to disturb, and the time passed little by little until the Dragon King went out.

Shangguan Fei went out with his baggage, rented a room in an inn a street away, first looked around, and after making sure that there were no watchers around, he began to carefully disguise and put on makeup, dressing himself up as a woman, first drawing a gorgeous face, admiring himself in the mirror, and then reluctantly erasing it, and then painting a mediocre appearance of a middle-aged woman.

He didn't even want to look in the mirror anymore.

Shangguan Fei jumped out of the window, sneaked out of the two streets, and found that he had no flaws, and no one looked at him more, so he walked normally and boldly with confidence, and went straight to Xiaoyue Hall in the east.

All the way, he was complaining about Luo Ning tea, that woman was too unorganized, she made an appointment to meet with the lotus girl in Xiaoyue Hall tonight, but she didn't leave a code or anything, she was unrecognizable, how did she enter the door of Xiaoyue Hall?

As soon as he entered the street where Xiaoyue Hall was located, two male disciples came out of the darkness, and Shangguan Fei pinched his throat and said, "I was invited. He thought of a lot of rhetoric, but he really couldn't do it, so he had to show his true colors, but he didn't expect that just such a sentence would have an effect, and the two retreated, and no one stopped them after that.

Walking on the dark street, Shangguan Fei regretted it, but he had to move on because he thought of his mother's stern expression.

At night, Xiaoyue Hall didn't even have a doorkeeper, and there were two lanterns hanging on it, which was eerie and scary.

There was a female disciple standing in the courtyard, pointing to the backyard, which was empty, except for one room in the east wing, which was lit up.

Shangguan Fei suddenly remembered one thing, Shangguan Hong's body was parked in this mansion at this moment, this thought made him shudder, his hair stood on end, his legs were weak, and he had to stand in place and stop for a while before walking to the bright room.

Xiaoyuetang is crazy, he thought, and stood at the door and coughed twice.

"Come in. The voice inside said that it was very similar to that of a lotus girl.

Shangguan Fei pushed the door in, and saw that the person sitting at the table was indeed a lotus girl, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the first sentence was to explain his appearance, "I think there are more female disciples in Xiaoyue Hall, so it is more appropriate for me to pretend to be a woman to visit." ā€

"Hmm. The Dutch girl had no comment on this.

"Uh, where's Mrs. Luo?

"It's coming. ā€

Standing in front of the lotus girl, Shangguan Fei was uncomfortable, and even he felt embarrassed by the women's clothes on his body, "I am actually very willing to do things for the imperial master......

"Hmm. ā€

"Shangguan Hong's death is really unfortunate, he should fight for a victory for Xiaoyuetang tonight, but he can't even avoid the assassination, he may not be the opponent of the Beiting people, Mo Lin used to be the winged guard of the old Khan King......"

Shangguan Fei didn't have anything to say, and the lotus girl interrupted him, "Shangguan Hong went to look for you last night?"

"What?" Shangguan Fei pretended to be surprised, "Shangguan Hong, what are you looking for me?"

"He wants to kill you for revenge. ā€

"Imperial Master...... You won't agree, will you?" Shangguan Fei's face turned red.

"I'll allow him to scare you, you won't blame me, will you?"

Of course not, he didn't have time to do it anyway. Shangguan Fei's heart fell to the ground, it turned out that the poison that Shangguan Hong gave him was not fatal, but when he thought of the embarrassing experience of soiling his pants, he couldn't calm down, but he was embarrassed to admit it, and he didn't dare to show it.

"First of all, I wasn't the one who killed him. Shangguan Fei added: "I didn't even see his figure. ā€

"That's good, although the drug I gave Shangguan Hong is not fatal, but it will have an attack every night around midnight, and if you don't take it, you naturally don't need my antidote. ā€

Shangguan Fei knelt down, "Imperial Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you, Shangguan Hong did find me and gave me a ...... That kind of medicine, I am really ashamed to say it, and I have no other intentions, so I ask the teachers for mercy. ā€

"Shangguan Hong is my right-hand man, he died in the Protector's Mansion for no apparent reason, and you still want me to be gracious?"

"But I didn't kill him, I, I didn't even have the strength to get up, really, he scared me, I fainted, I don't know when he left. ā€

"You're really daring. ā€

"That's it, I'm so cowardly, how can I kill Shangguan Hong with one sword?"

"Who told you that Shangguan Hong died with a knife?"

"I—I guess. ā€

"What else did you guess?"

"This ......," Shangguan Fei's heart was crossed, "Shangguan Hong said that the Dragon King left a passage in and out of the Protector's Mansion, so I guess...... Probably the Dragon King came back, the two happened to meet, Shangguan Hong was masked, the Dragon King didn't recognize who it was, so he stabbed it, and that's it. ā€

"Kind of makes sense. ā€

"But I think it was an accident, and the Dragon King didn't mean to kill him, let alone provoke the Imperial Master. ā€

"Hmm. The lotus girl looked at Shangguan Fei, who was paralyzed on the ground, "A few years ago, when you designed to kill Shangguan Yu, it surprised me. ā€

"Mistakenly. Shangguan Fei has always been very proud of that incident, but now he feels that it is a burden.

"Then you'll make another mistake. ā€

"I don't understand. ā€

The lotus girl didn't squeak, as if she was scolding Shangguan Fei for pretending to be confused with silence.

"Do you mean my sister......? You have to think about it in the long run, and I definitely can't do it alone. ā€

Outside the house, there were two crisp clapping sounds, and the lotus girl said, "That woman has arrived, you should discuss it with her for a long time." ā€

"The Imperial Master ......"

"I'll come over later, you come up with a plan, I'll come up with a plan, fair and reasonable. ā€

Shangguan Fei didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to ask for an antidote, so he barely supported his body, exited the room, looked up at the moon, and prayed that he could come up with a way to satisfy the lotus girl before midnight, he didn't want to show his ugliness in front of Luo Ningcha.

The Dutch girl was not dissatisfied, "Look, this is the person next to you." ā€

Gu Shenwei walked out of the room, "This is what I expected. ā€

"The dragon king can always want to be ahead of the enemy. The Dutch woman spoke sarcastically.

Gu Shenwei kept his plan strictly secret, and he didn't mention a word to Zhong Heng, Fang Wenshi and others, but he felt it was necessary to reveal a little to the lotus girl, "Soon, more people will choose to betray me, for them, some I will pretend not to see, some I will punish severely, and some I will use them to do something." ā€

The Lotus Girl turned her head to look at the Dragon King, with some sadness and joy, and found that she could still quickly guess what was on his mind, as if this was a plan that the two of them had discussed together, "Have you thought of a way to defeat the Dubu King?"
