The assassination of King Dubu was an unsuccessful plot, but why it turned into a massacre was investigated by the people in the fort for a long time and could not figure out the reason.

There is an alley in the West Castle, not too far from the main courtyard of the Eight Young Masters, and most of the people living in it are strategists who serve in the White Courtyard, and they are the same as the killers, each following a different master, and they are the spokesmen of different young masters in the castle.

At the same moment when King Dubu struck the assassin with his palm and Luo Ningcha's screams resounded through half of the stone castle, the three most important strategists almost simultaneously heard a reminder from outside the window: the king had been assassinated.

Luo Ning tea was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and the screams continued, becoming the most direct footnote to the reminder of the mysterious person.

Luo Ningcha's first reaction was not that the king was assassinated, but that Mrs. Meng sent someone to kill her, crying and making trouble, dragging the king's arm, and shouting in horror, "She wants to kill me".

Shangguan Fan saw the true side of Luo Ning Tea for the first time, and couldn't help but be a little surprised and disgusted, and finally understood why the eighth son Shangguan Nu could bear to abandon such a beautiful daughter-in-law and defect from Jinpeng Castle, but Luo Ning Tea's gaffe also saved her life, and Shangguan Fan first excluded her when determining the mastermind behind the scenes.

Shangguan Fa also wasted a little precious time comforting the eighth daughter-in-law, and then left quickly, although Dubu Wang's lust was an open secret in the castle, he still had to take care of his face a little.

The next development of events was completely unexpected by Shangguan Va.

He had already returned to the inner house, and as usual, secretly issued an order to conduct an investigation of the whole castle, and did not expect that the news that "the king is dead" would spread so quickly and be believed by so many people.

The second, fifth, sixth, and seventh four young masters did not regard the stone castle as a safe home, and they were on guard against each other, and they had reached the point where the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the union and betrayal were all momentary things, and any word or look could trigger rich associations, leading to the sword and soldiers meeting each other, and it was all dependent on the ban on killing of the Dubu King to maintain a fragile balance.

Not everyone believed the news of the assassination of the king, in fact, until the body was seen, suspicion prevailed, but they all feared one thing: someone was going to use the news of the death to preemptively strike, so they had to strike first.

This is a scuffle, the five young masters attack the second young master, the sixth young master sneaks up on the fifth young master, the seventh young master rushes into the inner house to kill Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng wants to get rid of everyone.

By the time King Dubu found out that the situation was out of control, the massacre was already halfway through, and no matter whose order could not stop it, Shangguan Fa sent a large number of elite killers directly under him, and even let a few green noodles personally dispatch, patrolling everywhere to announce that the king was unharmed, and brutally suppressed those who did not listen to the dissuasion.

In the early hours of the morning, the turmoil in the fort finally calmed down, and it was such an inexplicable massacre, dozens of people died, and the sixth and seventh young masters died.

Dubu Wang was furious, imprisoned the second and fifth sons on the spot, deprived Mrs. Meng of all power, and traced back to the source, the initiator was still the assassin, but this person escaped from the pursuit and there was no trace.

Gu Shenwei was able to survive, half by luck, and half by someone to help.

Shangguan Fan was entangled by Luo Ning tea, so that the assassin could rush out of the bedroom, Gu Shenwei just jumped to the roof, he was targeted by a green face, he didn't want to test his sword skills at this time, so he ran out of the courtyard without looking back, and the green face followed closely behind, like a shadow.

Gu Shenwei couldn't outrun this green face, and an unexpected person saved him.

Mafu Lao Zhang, as usual, stayed in the stable in the middle of the night, Luo Ningcha's scream made him excited, for the first time in his life, he gave birth to the ambition of a hero to save the beauty, he picked up the guillotine, and ran out viciously, his movements were a little slower, just let the assassin pass, and stopped Qingmian.

In this way, Lao Zhang died under the knife of the green face, if he had been in the past, he would definitely hide in the stable and keep silent, just because the hostess lifted a veil, he paid the price of his life, and the person he wanted to save did not need to be saved at all, but the person he didn't want to save got a glimmer of life.

Green Face was delayed for a short time, barely stopping, but the Assassin ran away.

Gu Shen was grateful for the "assassination" game he played with Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yu two years ago, when they ran all over the stone fort and knew every street and alley well, better than many people born in the fort.

Gu Shenwei jumped from a low wall into a certain courtyard, let the green face that was tracking behind him, and immediately returned to the main courtyard of the Eighth Young Master, and was just about to enter his own house, when he saw the lotus girl next door waving at him.

There were too many unexpected things this night, and Gu Shenwei didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately entered the house of the Dutch girl.

". The Dutch girl whispered.

Gu Shenwei jumped on the bed, took off his night clothes and mask in the quilt, and threw them to the lotus girl.

The lotus girl did not mess up, and carefully folded her clothes and put them together with her clothes.

"My sword...... Still in the backyard. ”

"Leave it alone. ”

As soon as the lotus girl finished speaking, a group of people poured into the courtyard, and someone raised his voice and said, "Stay in the house, no one is allowed to come out!"

At this time, the slaughter between several young masters had not yet begun, Shangguan Fa only wanted to find the assassin, and the first place for the night watchman who rushed to investigate was the main courtyard of the eight young masters.

"Why isn't he in the room?"

The Lotus Girl walked to the door, "He's here with me." ”

The door was violently pushed open, and the two night watchmen glanced at Huan Tou on the bed, and the hand holding the knife was released, and they had seen so much of the affair between the killers that they would not make a fuss.

"What's going on? I heard a shout in the backyard and was about to go over. Gu Shenwei pretended to be flustered and sat up, covered his body with the quilt, and looked for a narrow knife everywhere.

"You don't care about the backyard. A night watchman said, then turned back and asked, "Huan Nu has been here?"

Xinnu's head was exposed, and his face was terrified, "It should be, I came from the second watch, and I wanted to ask Yang Ye if he had any instructions, but he was not there, so I stayed in his house." ”

Gu Shenwei was shocked, the lotus girl must have known that Xinnu was sleeping next door, so she let Huannu enter her room, if it weren't for her help, his whereabouts would have been broken by Xinnu, this timid slave would never cover up for his master.

"He's always been with me. The Dutch said coldly, and then closed the door in front of the night watchman.

The two didn't speak for a while, listening to the questioning of the patrol outside, and when the rest of the place was in chaos, and the night watchmen all ran to quell the riot, the main courtyard of the eight young masters was quiet, and Mrs. Meng and the young masters were fighting for the throne, Luo Ningcha was not a threat at all in their eyes, and no one wanted to kill her.

Luo Ningcha was frightened, and as soon as the night watchman left, he ordered Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl to go to the backyard immediately to protect her.

Gu Shenwei never found a chance to explain to the lotus girl, and the lotus girl didn't ask, and took advantage of the chaos to retrieve the sword on the beam of the house and quietly return it to him.

Mr. Zhang Ji was even smarter than Gu Shenwei imagined, and this hidden strategist used a little information revealed by Huan Nu to plan the whole chaos, and without a single soldier, he eliminated the two brothers for Shangguan Hong and suppressed several other competitors.

In this way, in addition to Gu Shenwei himself, there were at least two people in the stone castle who knew who the assassin was that night, and he believed in the lotus girl, but he was a little vague about Zhang Ji.

Every few days, a part-time merchant in the fort would send a jar of wine from the South Wall Tavern to Mr. Teach, and the merchant had already collected a large amount of silver, enough to send it for a year.

Zhang Ji still hoped that a killer would have thrown him at Shangguan Hong, the son of the Dubu King he was assisting was too weak, and last night's massacre could have achieved more results, but Shangguan Hong had no way to show his ability, so he could only cautiously stay by Mrs. Meng's side and show loyalty and support.

Afterwards, Shangguan Hong didn't get too many rewards, and King Dubu didn't even notice the existence of this son, although Mrs. Meng, like other young masters, was suppressed by the king, but she was far from being reduced to the point where Shangguan Hong was needed.

Gu Shenwei felt a little relieved.

Dubu King did not believe that the assassin's target would be Luo Ning Cha, but he still sent ten killers and twenty swordsmen to protect her, so that the main courtyard of the Eight Young Lords became one of the safest places in the stone castle, and Gu Shenwei lived a solid life here for two days, until the hounds in pursuit followed the breath and came to the door again.

Shangguan Van vowed to find out the assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes, and for this, he released Shen Liang, the sword master of the Washing Heart Courtyard.

Dubu Wang's praise for the anger of the eighth prince Shangguan was only superficial, so he had been imprisoning Shen Liang, but when it came to finding out the conspiracy to track down the murderer, no one in the stone castle could not let Shen Dao master, so he ushered in a chance to turn over.

Shen Liang took the helm of the Heart Washing Courtyard, quickly launched an action, and grabbed a large number of people, he must have been eyeing Huan Nu a long time ago, but the sudden gain of the eighth young grandmother made him cautious, and he did not do it immediately, but waited for two days before coming to interrogate him in person.

Luo Ningcha must have been under pressure, this time she didn't stop the people of the Heart Washing Courtyard, her only request was that the interrogation was carried out in the main courtyard of the Eighth Young Master, and it was best if Huan Nu had no problem, if there was a problem, I hoped that Lord Shen Dao would be able to make a decision immediately.

Shen Liang naturally understood the intentions of the eighth young grandmother, and agreed on the surface, but in his heart he made up his mind that unless he squeezed all the information out of Huan Nu's mouth, he would never let this kid die early.

"It's just a normal questioning, and basically everyone in the fort has to accept it. Shen Liang opened with confidence.

"Good. Gu Shenwei replied lightly, he was forbidden to wear a sword, which was equivalent to losing more than half of his martial arts.

"Where were you on the night of the king's assassination?"

"In the house of the Dutch maiden. ”

"What to do?" Shen Liang seemed to ask knowingly, in fact, he was well prepared, he believed that Huan Nu's answer would leak out, but he never expected to hear such an answer.

"I'm going crazy and she's always looking for ways to help me heal. ”

"What?"

Shen Liang grabbed the killer's shoulder, and immediately found that something was wrong, this killer's internal strength was weak, not to mention the Jinpeng killer, even an ordinary knife hand was inferior.

Gu Shenwei's madness was true, and there were some things he didn't expect, such as the two Eight Desolation Finger forces in his body that broke out at the same time, almost killing him.

This time he went mad and had a direct relationship with Shangguan Fan's palm.
