Chapter 532: Tell the Truth
When the Beiting Naihang cavalry had no choice but to retreat, few people knew the real goal of the wild horse's sword.
From their point of view, it was the Dragon King who took the initiative to fight in order to protect the old man Mu, and the wild horse just didn't have time to change his tricks and had to cut down at the Dragon King.
It's just that the battle between the two will inevitably disappoint many people who are expecting it, and it will be very fast, because of this, after seeing it, there is almost no impression in everyone's minds, even the short crisp sound is like an accidental tinnitus, but fortunately, there are several recognized masters among the onlookers, and it is their nods and praises that show that the two narrow knives have indeed collided together.
Just like a flying insect flashing in front of your eyes, the viewer will think that they are dazzled, and only when the flying insects flash one after another, will they feel the incredible speed of these insects.
If Gu Shenwei and the wild horses continued to make moves and satisfied everyone's eyes with a series of quick knives, this battle might have become a classic for a while, but they stopped.
I don't know if it was premeditated or improvised, but the Mustang's knife was just a test, and after the hand, he immediately retreated ten steps away, turned his head to look at the sky.
It is true that the sun has already shown an arc, and it is still a little early to call it dawn, but the torches around it are not so bright.
The people of the Naihang tribe can ask to continue the competition, but it is obviously not their style to argue with reason, and Zhi Su also glanced at the sky, "Old Mu, you are lucky today, but luck will not always follow you." After that, he turned to Gu Shenwei, "Dragon King, I hope you can know that Lao Mu and I have a common enmity with the Hang clan. ”
The cavalrymen raised their whips and saluted the king's banner in the center of the camp, and then roared away, leaving only the old man Mu alone and shouting unconvinced, "It's you who are lucky, if I hadn't sworn it, hum ......"
The commander of the cavalry team was also quite unconvinced, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction until the Naihang people were far away, "I thought that the speed was so bold, and I had to obey when I saw the royal flag, Dragon King, you don't have to worry, as long as there is this flag in the ......"
Next, the commander said a lot of things, euphemistically saying that this contest absolutely did not violate the agreement between the two sides, and hoped that the dragon king would not mention it in front of the old Khan king.
The euphemism of the people of Beiting was similar to saying something straightforward, and Gu Shenwei promised him that he would not take this matter to heart.
When it was dawn, the camp hosts felt that the banquet was not enjoyable, and the guests were being harassed violently, so they were required to stay for another day.
Gu Shenwei also agreed, he just needed time to "interrogate" Old Man Mu.
The interrogation took place in Gu Shenwei's tent, and the participants also included Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl, the former reassuring Old Man Mu, while the latter made his heart pound.
Since the merger of the two teams, this is the first time that Old Man Mu has seen the Lotus Girl, although the other party has not mentioned that he is going to leave as a prisoner, Old Man Mu still looks a little nervous, it seems that the Lotus Girl is more terrible than the thousands of troops and horses of the Naihang tribe.
The first question was raised by Shangguan Ru, "How did you make an enmity with the Naihang clan?" she could guess the general situation, but she still couldn't help but ask clearly.
"I admit that the old man did kill innocents indiscriminately and killed many people who should not have been killed, but the matter of the Naihang clan was indeed provoked by them first. ”
Old man Mu took a moment to defend himself, and then told the truth, "That's the case, I wasn't so short before, I didn't look as good as the Dragon King, and I didn't much worse, I still attracted the attention of women, it was thirteen or fourteen years ago, I went to a market, intending to buy something fun, and I met ...... A woman of the Naihang tribe. ”
According to the old man, it was the woman who seduced him, and that night he touched the woman's tent, and the two were having a good time, and accidentally woke up the maid outside, and one thing led to another, and the guards surrounded the tent.
This woman is the newly married concubine of the Naihang tribe.
"Who would have thought that she would turn her face and deny people, just returned the honey and oil, and in the blink of an eye she cried and shouted that I raped her, Lao Tzu, no, when did the old man suffer this kind of anger?"
"You killed her?" Shangguan Ru asked in surprise.
"Then it'll be fine, no one will know that I did it, everyone knows that Old Man Mu is a murderer, not a flower thief. ”
"You stripped the princess of her clothes and threw them in the most crowded part of the bazaar, and forced her to confess that you two had committed adultery. The Lotus Girl said coldly.
"Huh, what are you ...... I must have heard it from the people of Beiting, right? There is something wrong, she took off her clothes herself, not me. ”
Shangguan Ru's face flushed angrily, and when he thought about it, Old Man Mu had indeed done it, "You...... The princess is a woman, and you don't care about other people's ...... at all."
"I was young. "More than ten years ago, the old man Mu was already in his fifties, but he was just practicing the internal strength of the Yuqing faction, and he looked relatively young, "The princess wants face, I also want face, being called a thief, wouldn't it greatly affect the image of the old man?"
"And then?" Shangguan Ru asked sternly.
"Then the Naihang people went after me everywhere, thinking that they had forgotten it for so many years. ”
"I asked what happened to the princess?"
"I don't know. Mu Lao replied blankly, as if the question was completely unexpected by him, "She didn't come to me, and I didn't go to her, woman...... Ahem...... I just can't find the time. ”
It was still the Lotus Girl who answered Shangguan Ru's question, and Xiaoyuetang spent a lot of time investigating Old Man Mu's past, "King Rizhu killed the princess and claimed that she committed suicide by humiliation. ”
Old Man Mu's mind turned quickly, and he immediately changed his calm expression, revealing a trace of sadness, and sighed, "Alas, no matter what, she died because of me, this account, I admit, I knew it was so, when the Hang clan came to seek revenge, they should have killed me." ”
Old Man Mu's attitude changed too much before and after, and even Shangguan Ru couldn't believe that his performance at this time was sincere.
Gu Shenwei didn't care about these things, and asked, "What's going on with the wild horse's martial arts? ”
Old Man Mu sighed again, and the emotions he showed this time were much more real, "I don't know the details, but I guess Mustang must have gone to join my junior brother Yu Zhenren." ”
"Yu Zhenren is your junior brother?" Shangguan Ru was taken aback.
She had heard of Yu Zhenren, Beiting and the Western Regions respected Buddhism, Taoism was not prosperous, only this Yuzhen was an exception, known as a living immortal, and was worshiped in many countries, and Beiting was also treated as a national teacher.
Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl were also a little surprised, almost everyone had heard of Yu Zhenren's name, Xiaoyuetang had investigated Old Man Mu for many years, and he didn't know this information, in fact, few people even knew that Yu Zhenren would do martial arts.
"Hey, hey. Old Man Mu laughed embarrassedly, "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, it's that Yu Zhenren himself doesn't want to admit it, thinking that I am embarrassing him, and for this reason, he doesn't even want the name of the Yuqing faction." ”
"How did Mustang find Yu Zhenren, and how did he learn martial arts from him?" asked the Dutch girl this time.
"This, it may be that I talked too much and accidentally leaked the matter of Yu Zhenren, and Mustang couldn't learn kung fu from me, so he went to him. ”
"But, how could Yu Zhenren take him as an apprentice?" Shangguan Ru still found it hard to believe, the rumored Yu Zhenren was a compassionate immortal, not to mention a killer-born wild horse, even Shangguan Ru himself felt that he was not qualified to worship Yu Zhenren as a teacher.
"I really don't know this, and I wonder if Yu Zhenren has always been pretending to be a good person, how can he accept an apprentice like Mustang ?
"He probably wants to fight evil with evil. "Gu Shenwei always considers problems from the perspective of the simplest interests, no matter how much Yu Zhenren looks like an immortal, he is also an ordinary person in his eyes.
"Probably. Old man Mu squeezed out an ugly smile, "Yu Zhenren hates me a lot, the enemy encircled and suppressed me back then, maybe he planned it behind the scenes." ”
Except for Old Man Mu, no one can say that Yu Zhenren did something wrong.
Shangguan Ru's suspicion increased sharply, "You know that there are many enemies in Beiting, and you still want me to come, what is the purpose?"
"There are a lot of enemies in the old man, but I never took it seriously, thinking that after so many years, everyone had forgotten about each other. ”
Old Man Mu is not such a simple person, when he helps Shangguan Ru analyze the complicated national situation and interest entanglements, he will never ignore his enemies.
Gu Shenwei decided not to pretend to be confused anymore, "I want to say a few words to him alone." ”
Shangguan Ru looked at the Dragon King in surprise, nodded, didn't say anything, and walked out of the tent, and the lotus girl would not express surprise and leave.
There were only two people left, and the old man Mu pretended to be relaxed, and praised: "Dragon King, your sword just now is really uncanny, even if the old man's skills are all there, he may not be able to stop it, that is the Great Jue Sword Sutra, powerful, really powerful." ”
In order to accept his flattery, Gu Shen pulled out the dragon head sword that was not commonly used, and said: "The Great Jue Sword Sutra is always a layer behind in terms of sword technique, and if you really want to play all the subtleties, you have to use a sword." ”
Old Man Mu felt furious in his heart, "Yes, yes, I have seen the Dragon King's swordsmanship, that is really ......" Old Man Mu hoped to find a word that would satisfy the Dragon King, but the sharp long sword was less than five feet in front of him, which made him uncertain, and he couldn't find a suitable beautiful word for a while.
"The Mustang knife came at me. ”
"Yes, I thought it was the Dragon King who drew his sword to save me, I ......" Old Man Mu couldn't lie anymore, his skills were lost three or four percent, and his vision would not disappear, saying that he didn't see the real goal of the wild horse, and he pretended to be a little too much, "Yes, as soon as the dragon king said it, I understood, the wild horse originally had a ghost in his heart, and he pretended to compete with me, but he actually wanted to assassinate the dragon king, it was too insidious, we have to ask the old Khan king for an explanation, that is, ...... The evidence is not easy to find. ”
"It's hard to be honest. Gu Shen nodded in understanding, "But it will become easy with a little effort, let's say, two legs and two feet, which one do you like the most?"
Old Man Mu's face turned pale, he thought that his plan could last for a while longer, but he didn't expect to be seen through so quickly, "Dragon King, I was wrong, I really wanted to recover my strength so much, and now it's really better to live than to die, so ...... So I asked my junior brother for help, and I never imagined that he would be interested in the Dragon King. ”
Gu Shenwei guessed that it was not Yu Zhenren who was interested in the Dragon King, but the Naihang Clan Rizhu King behind the Taoist priest, and he knew that things would not be so coincidental, and the person who came to seek revenge on Old Man Mu happened to be the prince who Wei Song claimed to have a grudge against Gu Lun for killing his son.
