Chapter 61: Hostages

Shangguan Yushi's father was a distant cousin and former right-hand man of King Dubu who had died for many years, and she was the cousin and closest friend of the twins, but none of this could save her life, and at the order of the king, she was placed side by side with a minion and faced the fate of "cutting off her head and sacrificing her head".

She had expected that although she was only fifteen years old, Shangguan Yushi knew the rules of the stone castle better than most of the people around her: a master who lost power was not as good as a smug minion. The Shangguan Ru she relies on has not yet grown into a towering tree, and the daughter of King Dubu has an enviable favor, but she does not hold real power in her hands, which is the essential difference between the ninth prince and the young master.

From this moment on, whether Shangguan Yushi and Huan Nu's lives can be saved depends on whether Shangguan Ru's will is firm enough.

Shangguan Ru snatched the narrow knife from his cousin's hand, stood in front of the two, faced his eldest brother, and spit out a word, "No." ”

Shangguan Chui - this is the name of Dubu Wang's eldest son - shook his head slowly, he has never advocated spoiling the twins too much, if his father had listened to his advice, there would not have been such a ridiculous thing as today, "Seventeenth sister, enough trouble, don't play with children's tempers." ”

Dubu Wang has a total of nine sons and eight daughters, Shangguan Ru is the youngest, ranking seventeen, but she has always insisted that she is a boy, and she is a little older than Shangguan Fei, so the title of "seventeen sisters" makes her extremely dissatisfied.

She clutched her knife and stood with her head held high, "I said no. ”

The two men at the door looked at the stubborn little girl with disapproving expressions on their faces, they were not inexperienced shadow guards, the knife was as ridiculous in their eyes as the straw stick in the baby's hand.

Mr. Guo took a step.

Shangguan Ru put the narrow knife on his neck, "Stop, move again, I'll kill myself first." ”

There was a distance of about ten steps between the two, and Mr. Guo felt that he could take away the lady's narrow knife, but he still stopped and looked back at the young master, Shangguan Chui, he didn't want to take the risk.

"It's a mistake to let you wear men's clothes and learn martial arts, when did the women of the Shangguan family start to violate their father's orders and disobey their brother's teachings?"

Shangguan Chui's words showed his attitude, Mr. Guo took another step, measuring the distance between him and Miss in his heart, only two more steps were needed, and he was completely sure that he would take the narrow knife and not hurt her in the slightest.

Shangguan Ru suddenly put down the knife, but she didn't give in, but turned around and rushed to the bed, grabbed Shangguan Fei's right wrist, twisted it behind her back, and then pressed the tip of the knife against her brother's neck.

She gave up everything, she still remembered what her master had taught, her eyes were firmly fixed on the tip of the knife, and she only used her spare eyes to observe the "enemy", "The women of the Shangguan family are not valuable, then I will kill the man." ”

This change came suddenly, beyond everyone's expectations, even Shangguan Yushi didn't expect it, but in front of Shangguan Chui, she didn't dare to speak, so she could only stand quietly in the corner like Huan Nu, letting a family farce decide her life and death.

The most surprised person is naturally Shangguan Fei, since the eldest brother entered the house, he has stood by the bed, not even daring to raise his head, he can't wait to admit his mistake quickly, so as to end this matter, what he is most afraid of is to become the focus of attention, how can he not expect that he will become a hostage under the knife.

"Hey ......"

Shangguan Fei's voice trembled, the knife on his neck had just killed someone, and it was still stained with blood, which seemed to be flowing on his skin, the two were compatriots, and they played together every day, because of this, he believed that this threat was real.

Shangguan Ru's hand holding his wrist strengthened, and whispered, "Shut up."

Mr. Guo stopped again, he had long known about the conspiracy of the small group, and he did not show up until everyone had obtained the stolen goods, everything was as expected, the only thing he didn't expect was that the young lady's character was stubborn to this point.

"Nonsense!" Shangguan scolded angrily, stepping forward to grab the knife himself.

Shangguan Ruyi was ruthless, the tip of the knife pierced slightly, Shangguan Fei felt a pain in his neck, and immediately cried, "Sister spare me, big brother, save me!"

Shangguan Chui also stopped, he just wanted to use this incident to suppress Mrs. Meng's arrogance, that woman was younger than him, more and more favored by the king, and her status was much higher than that of all previous ladies, which made him extremely angry, Jinpeng Fort is a man's world, there has never been a woman's share, let alone a chance to divide power, all of this has changed because of Mrs. Meng's marriage.

He also didn't like Shangguan Fei's younger brother, but he couldn't afford the consequences of bloodshed.

The blood of her brother aroused the killer instinct in Shangguan Ru's bones, and she finally no longer had to be secretly coaxed to play games, but entered a real battle, "What 'Ten Sons of Longsheng', I will kill one first, there are only eight left, see how you explain to your father." ”

Shangguan Fei was just crying, his martial arts were not as good as his sister, and he had no power to resist at this time.

Gu Shenwei didn't understand what the "Ten Sons of the Dragon Ascended", there was an unwritten rule in the stone castle, the minions could gossip with each other, but it must not involve the king and his descendants, so it would be a long time before he would hear someone explain the meaning, and now he only guessed that this was a proverb, related to the fact that King Dubu had ten sons.

The people of the Shangguan family obviously believed in and attached great importance to these four words, because Shangguan's face changed suddenly, his eyebrows were raised, his face was full of anger, but his heels fell to the ground.

Shangguan Ru grabbed the lifeblood of the king, and he also grasped the lifeblood of the young master.

"What do you want?" Shangguan asked angrily.

"I want to see my father, and I don't believe anything of your words, I don't believe that my father will punish me. ”

Shangguan Ru actually believed it, but only in front of her father did she have a chance to pamper and save the lives of the two people she liked most.

Shangguan Chui hesitated a little, glanced at Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo shook his head, they wanted to disgrace Mrs. Meng through this matter, and they must not let this little girl get a chance to turn the tables, and he didn't believe that she would really kill his brother.

The room was silent, and everyone's mind was like an invisible serpent's letter, sniffing around in the air, guessing at each other, testing each other, looking for the direction of their prey, so as to decide their next move.

This period of time is not long, it is difficult to say who was the first to make the move, in short, the situation suddenly changed from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic, and everyone wanted to solve the problem with their own methods.

Shangguan Chui and Mr. Guo's bodies shook, and they rushed over quickly like ghosts, one went to grab the knife in Shangguan Ru's hand, and the other went to save Shangguan Fei, who was crying.

Shangguan Ru had already made up her mind, but she had no way to do it to her relatives, so she could only stab herself with a knife.

At the same time, even earlier, Shangguan Yu pounced on the twins and hugged them all, her speed was not as fast as the two adults, but the distance was closer, and the three of them reached the target almost at the same time.

Then, the lights went out and the house was dark.

Gu Shenwei knocked over the small oil lamp.

He didn't know how long Shangguan Ru's protection would last, and how likely he was to succeed, so he decided to cause a mess, and if he didn't kill one or two people with the surname Shangguan before the end of his life, he would die without a blind eye.

The sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, the sound of narrow knives and wooden knives breaking through the air, and the sound of fists and palms waving all together, some people exclaimed, some people screamed, and finally someone shouted: "Stop, all stop, I will go and ask the king." ”

Shangguan Chui still gave in, and Dubu Wang handed over the matter to him to deal with, and if something happened to the twins, he would be very embarrassed.

Everyone stopped, Gu Shen didn't fight anyone, and he was tripped by the corpse on the ground, and there was a lot of blood on his body.

"Let's go ......"

This is Shangguan Ru's voice, she made a mistake.

Shangguan Chui has received strict killer training, listening to sounds and distinguishing objects in the dark is one of the required skills, at the beginning the scene was too chaotic, he couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe for a while, at this moment everyone stopped, he suddenly occupied a huge advantage.

Shangguan Ru's voice did not fall, and then he shouted, and he was held under the arm by the eldest brother, and the narrow knife was also taken away.

Mr. Guo's ears are not weak, and when he heard Shangguan Fei's cry, he jumped over and helped him up.

"Light the lights. Shangguan Chui gave an order.

Mr. Guo found that Shangguan Fei was fine, let go of him, took out the fire fold from his arms and lit it, and found the small oil lamp on the ground with a faint light, and there was still a little oil left in it, so he re-lit it.

After a while, the house was a mess.

Shangguan frowned, if people knew that the eldest son of King Dubu was forced to hurry by his little sister, it would be a big shame.

"Cut off their heads, and take these two scourges to the Temple of the Six Killings. ”

Shangguan Chui now just wants to solve the problem as soon as possible.

"You said ......"

"I said that after you go to the Six Killings Hall to repent of your sins, I will take you to see your father. ”

Shangguan Chui threw away the narrow knife and said to Shangguan Fei again: "What about you, do you also want to see your father?"

"No, no, I ...... It's all up to Big Brother. ”

Shangguan Fei was shocked, how could he dare to see his father, ran to the bedside, picked up the black jade palm and wooden knife on the bed, "Let's take these two things back together." ”

Shangguan Chui nodded, if Mrs. Meng and Seventeenth Sister could be as obedient as him, wouldn't there be a lot of right and wrong?

Shangguan Yushi sat on the ground, her hair was scattered, her face was pale, the surname "Shangguan" could not protect her, and the extraordinary friendship with Shangguan Ru could not protect her.

On the other side, Gu Shenwei was still sitting in the bloodstains, and the narrow knife thrown away by Shangguan was at his feet.

Sit back and wait for a miracle to happen, or pick up a knife and fight to the death?

As long as he could kill one, he thought, the humiliation and grief he had endured in the past year would not be in vain, and the object he chose was Shangguan Fei.

As soon as his fingers moved, the "miracle" came, but it was not for him, only to hear a woman's voice outside shouting: "The king has an order, the king has an order!"

Aunt Tong ran in from outside out out of breath, she didn't know martial arts, and running around was a burden for her.

"Young master, the king has an order, he will come to deal with this matter in person. ”

Shangguan's face sank, "The order I received is not like this. ”

Aunt Tong glanced at the wolf scene in the house, showing a slight look of surprise, but her eyes immediately turned to the young master, "I have a token." ”

After speaking, she took out a small white jade knife from her cuff and held it high.
