Shangguan Hong never figured out how it happened, but he insisted that he was not at fault.

Zhang Ji asked him to do everything possible to please Mrs. Meng, but he never said that he had to "dedicate himself", and he himself never thought about it, in his eyes, Mrs. Meng's status was almost the same as that of the king, and it only brought him fear and high pressure.

But if you think about it carefully, Shangguan Hong feels that he does have some unique advantages.

There are not many men in the inner house, most of them are miscellaneous servants and killers, so Shangguan Hong jumped above everyone, no matter what, he is also surnamed Shangguan, and he has the blood of King Dubu.

He had been living near Madame Meng's house, twice a day in the morning and evening, like a servant, respectfully greeting him, waiting patiently, seizing every opportunity to speak, and sparing no effort to please and flatter him.

Maybe it's because his ability to please people is too good, Shangguan Hong sometimes thinks so, but the reason why Mrs. Meng chose him seems to be related to King Dubu.

The scandal between Dubu Wang and Luo Ningcha made Mrs. Meng extremely angry, and even cried several times, Shangguan Hong felt that Mrs. Meng's attitude towards him had changed from that time, and looked at him a little more, and there was some obvious scrutiny.

"So many women can't satisfy his appetite?" Once, Mrs. Meng complained in front of Shangguan Hong, "Why do you have to find that woman? That's his son's daughter-in-law! Doesn't he have a sense of shame? Does everyone in this castle have to be like pigs to live well?"

Shangguan Hong was frightened, prostrate on the ground, and didn't dare to answer at all, Mrs. Meng's words, he didn't even tell Zhang Ji, for fear of getting involved in a cruel family infighting.

In the following year, Shangguan Hong gained more trust and began to run errands for Mrs. Meng, and had more contact with her than before.

Then one night, it just happened.

Shangguan Hong had no choice, he was so frightened at that time that his body was almost all soft, and to his great surprise, only that place was firm.

With the first time, there will naturally be a second and a third time......

Shangguan Hong became Mrs. Meng's toy and confidant, and it was from Mrs. Meng's mouth that he learned that Dubu Wang's temperament had changed greatly, and he began to be less close to women, and he was taking power back from Mrs. Meng's hands little by little.

Shangguan Hong hid this secret for a long time, and did not reveal a word to anyone, which was also Mrs. Meng's request, she didn't use hints, but told him unmistakably, "If you leak a little rumor, you and your mother will jump directly from the cliff of death." ”

But he couldn't help it, this secret was like an ever-expanding balloon, blocked in his heart, if he didn't release it a little, it would explode sooner or later.

So, Shangguan Hong confessed what happened to the only person he trusted.

Zhang Ji's reaction at that time was by no means like an old strategist with a ghost in his heart, he sneered, neither praised nor objected, and never mentioned this matter again, but asked Shangguan Hong to carefully mention the third young master in front of Mrs. Meng.

Through Shangguan Hong's mouth, Zhang Ji slowly instilled an idea in Mrs. Meng: King Dubu wanted the forces in the castle to be balanced, and he didn't like to let someone cover the sky with one hand, so Mrs. Meng should take the initiative to set up a controllable "opponent" for herself.

At that time, the second young master was still alive, but he was considered to be Mrs. Meng's lackey, so the best candidate for this "opponent" should be the third young master.

Locked in a dungeon for many years, with almost no foundation in the fort, and always at odds with his father, these are the "advantages" of the three young masters.

The task was carried out gradually, and Zhang Ji was not in a hurry at all, and it took Shangguan Hong half a year to convince Madame Meng, and it took Madame Meng almost the same amount of time to remind King Dubu that there was another son in prison, an unruly but promising son.

Then the matter was put down like this, Zhang Ji no longer urged, Shangguan Hong and Mrs. Meng gradually lost interest, and the third young master was still locked up in the dungeon, and it seemed that he was going to suffer the fate of being forgotten again.

When Shangguan Hong was forced to reveal his secret to the Dragon King during his visit to Shule last year, he had not yet discovered that the third young master was an important person.

Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong were arrested in Jinpeng Castle, the Dragon King claimed to know Mrs. Meng's secret, Shangguan Hong was immediately suspicious, Mrs. Meng did not do it immediately, and waited until Shangguan Fei wanted to come to Shiguo to ask for relatives, and then she assigned Shangguan Hong to accompany her.

Zhang Ji told him: "Mrs. Meng is going to kill you, and she is going to use the Dragon King's knife, listen to me, maybe I can let you return to Biyu City alive." ”

Zhang Ji gave him a trick and asked him to hand it over to the Dragon King after selecting a horse in Shiguo, before that, he must not look at it, let alone let the Dragon King find out in advance, "Life and death depend on whether you can persist until the end." ”

Shangguan Hong persevered to the end, but he didn't expect that he would be betrayed by the "teacher" for many years and become a "gift" to the Dragon King.

This is the most disappointing and sad thing for him, compared to the dragon king's sword is insignificant, "I trust him so much......"

At this moment, the four people in the room were embarrassed to each other.

Shangguan Ru's lips pursed into a line, her world has not stopped collapsing, and her subordinates, friends, brothers, and parents have revealed their terrifying true colors one after another, and they have tempered her stronger and stronger.

Shangguan Fei's knife was blocked by the Dragon King, he threw away the narrow knife, held his head, and muttered to himself: "Why is this happening?"

He finally understood that his father's murderous intention was unshakable, he and his sister were valuable because of their mother, and naturally they would be abandoned because of their mother, and his heart was full of resentment, hating Shangguanhong, hating his mother, hating his father, hating his sister, and hating the Dragon King.

Among the four people, only Gu Shenwei's expression was calm, but he was hesitant in his heart: such a small group of people, each with hatred for the other, could become a group with the same hatred.

But he still insists that it is better to make secrets open than to expose them inadvertently.

"Think about the way forward. Gu Shenwei decided to give the three of them a little time, "You can't hide here all the time, sooner or later, King Dubu will find out the truth, and then he will still send someone to kill him." ”

Gu Shenwei left, Shangguan Hong followed, and he didn't dare to stay in the same room with the twins now.

After settling Shangguan Hong, Gu Shenwei sent someone to summon Zhong Heng.

Before Zhong Heng came, the lotus girl appeared, she never left the Dragon King, and heard all the ugly things of the Shangguan family in her ears, "You have to think clearly, the three of them are all surnamed Shangguan." ”

Unless asked, the Dutch girl rarely gave advice to Gu Shenwei, but this time, she was very uneasy about the Dragon King's decision.

Gu Shenwei didn't think that the lotus girl was meddling, because he himself hadn't completely made up his mind, "Dubu Wang and Zhang Ji made a mistake, they are used to Jinpeng Castle's style of doing things, and they don't take killing children and women seriously, but other people, normal people, don't think like this." I want to keep these three people and show the world the ugliest side of Dubu King. ”

Gu Shen said these words more to himself, thinking to himself, maybe the military advisor could understand what he meant, Fang Wen kept saying that he wanted the Dragon King to be the complete opposite of the Dubu King.

Sure enough, the lotus goddess did not move, she didn't seem to understand the intentions of the dragon king very well, she was also a killer cultivated by Jinpeng Castle, Xiaoyue Tang's guidelines would only strengthen this, she felt that Jinpeng Castle had stood tall in the Western Regions for many years, and its style of acting had long been known to the world, so there was no need for more proof.

But she didn't say what she thought, since the Dragon King had decided, she would not object, even if she believed that Shangguan Ru was the real reason for the Dragon King's mercy.

When Zhong Heng arrived, the lotus girl hid again.

Zhong Heng is now the prime minister of Shiguo, and he is qualified to share the imperial seal with the king, but this position is very unstable, it can be said that it is stormy, and it will be snatched away at any time.

He must rely on the Dragon King.

What made Gu Shenwei feel a little relieved was that Zhong Heng was very supportive of the Dragon King's decision, "Everyone knows that Jinpeng Castle is unscrupulous, but few people have personally felt it, this is just an opportunity for everyone to know that the Dubu King wants to kill his children who have not made mistakes for some personal gain." ”

But this matter must be carried out in Biyu City, and only there can the humiliation of the Dubu King cause the greatest damage.

In addition, thousands of people and horses from the Great Snow Mountain must be transferred to Shiguo, and the two coincide with each other on this point.

The western border of Biyu City is narrow, and the Shule Kingdom behind it is not reliable, and the Great Snow Mountain will not last long, but when it enters the Stone Country, its strength is enough to dominate the Xiaoyao Sea and seize a solid base.

"It has to be fast. Zhong Heng brought a map and spread it out on the table to check with the Dragon King, "I'm afraid that Jinpeng Castle is likely to have started a war against the Great Snow Mountain, and the Dragon King will have to bring the swordsmen out before they are completely destroyed." ”

This is exactly what Gu Shenwei is most anxious about, every moment he stays in Shiguo, he feels that he is wasting time, but he has to make a strict and meticulous plan, he has already been decided, and he can no longer follow the enemy's intentions, which will fall deeper and deeper into the trap.

"There are two ways to get back to Biyu Castle and the Great Snow Mountain camp. Gu Shenwei has been thinking about it for a long time, and has not yet made a final decision, "To the north, return to Shuangquan Village along the original road, and then turn west, it will take about half a month to return to Biyu City, and it may be faster to hurry up." Or go directly to the west, cross the three kingdoms of Kang, Sha and Hui, and then turn north, cross the desert, you can go to the camp of Daxue Mountain first. ”

"The first path is full of dangers, Jinpeng Castle must have set a trap to intercept and kill the Dragon King, and the second path is not easy to follow, and it may take twice as much time. ”

Gu Shenwei hesitated because of this, "If I don't bring an entourage, I may be able to sneak around the trap." ”

Zhong Heng pinched his chin and pondered for a while, "I think that the Dragon King should still take the three people of the Shangguan family, and their role is likely not to make King Dubu make a fool of himself." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded on the second route, "Then this is the only option, bring more horses, maybe you can save a little time." ”

"Be careful. Zhong Heng had the same idea as the Dragon King, but he felt the need to remind, "The people of the Shangguan family are all wolf cubs, and they will bite their life-saving benefactor at any time." ”
