The first leader of the Snow Mountain Gang died on the fifth day after the coyote's death, and it was another gang that took action, and Gu Shenwei had already made a detailed plan, but he didn't have time to execute it.

The Snow Mountain Gang was leaderless for three days, and there was a serious internal commotion, and one-third of the members died during this period, until the Wild Horses suddenly emerged.

Gu Shenwei had seen this strange-looking young man before, for a martial arts student, his body shape was perfect, but what was more noticeable was his face, his eyes were far apart, his nose hung straight from his forehead to his lips, and there was no undulation in between, separating the two eyes forever, which made him look like a person of low intelligence from any angle.

This impression is a fatal mistake.

Mustang is a strong martial artist, and although he is not the strongest person in the gang, he has outstanding tenacity and a calm and ruthless personality to make up for the lack of sword skills.

The lonely man who kept his mouth shut and was assassinated by the arm slave gang group, Mustang was different from them, he was like a mature Jinpeng Castle killer, good at organizing large-scale assassinations of up to dozens of people, and several small gangs were wiped out by him.

He also has a miraculous ability to make his members almost bow down to him, and treat him like a god, and every time he succeeds in surrounding his target, his subordinates have to leave him the honor of killing, and his persistence is enough to make several young masters jealous.

The slaughter lasted for a month, and more than 600 apprentices, plus hundreds of apprentices from previous years, and more than 1,000 teenagers between the ages of ten and eighteen, only survived less than 200 people, and the survivors were exhausted, and even the Shangguan family, who had been secretly indulging in provocation, began to feel uneasy, feeling that this massacre had exceeded the acceptable limit.

At the perfect time for this truce, Mustang released a message to have an open showdown with Huannu, no matter who wins or loses, the assassination will end here, and neither side will retaliate.

The Snow Mountain Gang and the Arm Slave Gang are now the two largest gangs, each with thirty or forty core members left, and the other apprentices, except for lone travelers like Liuhua, basically choose to join one of the two gangs, and some even join both factions at the same time, which brings convenience to the spread of the word.

Gu Shenwei faces a difficult choice.

If he refuses to fight, he will be charged with "brutality", and everyone will not want to engage in this killing game, and even the most staunch supporters of the gang will show a look of anticipation, hoping that the leader will be able to fight.

Accepting the challenge, he is not sure of victory, defeat means death, it means that he only killed an insignificant Shangguan son, and the great cause of revenge is about to end before it begins.

The Dutch was the only one who publicly stated that she did not support the duel, "We are killers, this is not the killer's way of solving problems, and it is also likely to be a trap." ”

In the past month, the relationship between Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl has become very close to the attribute of "friend", Huan Nu is the recognized leader of the Arm Slave Gang, and the Lotus Girl is his most important and effective assistant and counselor.

Gu Shenwei was very surprised, the taciturn Dutch girl turned out to be very popular, in fact, she was more like the core and pillar of the gang than Huan Nu, if she hadn't been solving her worries and resolving disputes, the reason of "each for his own master" alone was enough to make this group of young slaves fall apart.

She does not use her own beauty, but excellent insight and the ability to speak in a word, and often in a few words can persuade the other party to change his mind, forget his original master for a while, and recognize the benefits and necessity of union.

Therefore, her statement has an extremely important influence in the gang.

This is the first time Gu Shenwei has played the role of "leader", before the age of fourteen, there is a father and brother with strong martial arts by his side, he is more often played a naughty and innocent protector, except for the disobedient little scholar around him, he has no experience in managing others, but he knows that he has gained glory, and at the same time he also shoulders an unshirkable responsibility.

Ironically, whether it is the hostile Snow Mountain Gang or the Arm Slave Gang under his command, they will be his enemies on the road to revenge in the future.

Gu Shenwei decided to fight.

Steady means retreating, and since every step in the process of repaying the blood debt from Jinpeng Castle will be put to death, why care about this time?

The duel is scheduled for three days later, at the ruins of Woodcutter Alley.

After the announcement of the event, the number of assassinations in Eastburg decreased dramatically, with only a few incidents occurring in three days, one of which nearly ruined the duel that had been scheduled for a time.

No one understands why the "Silent Flower" came out at this time, as early as a few days ago, he had rarely killed people, but when the two gangs intended to stop fighting, he assassinated important people in the Arm Slave Gang.

It was the Lotus Girl who was assassinated.

Common speculation is that Liuhua didn't want this assassination frenzy to end, he was originally an inconspicuous little man who gained great fame through sharp arrows and corpses, and he enjoyed the thrill of hiding in the shadows and shooting enemies, so he wanted to sabotage the peace talks between the two gangs.

Huan Nu and Mustang are the leaders of the gang, killing them is the most likely to cause war, but the difficulty of assassination is also the greatest, so he chose the Lotus Girl, the spiritual pillar of the Arm Slave Gang, as a female apprentice, the strength is also weaker.

This is another prejudice in Dongbao, as there is a common belief that bows and arrows are inferior to swords, and the popular belief that women are not suitable for killers.

There were no more than a hundred female apprentices in the East Fort, and after a month of bloody purges, only about a dozen remained, and the mortality rate was much higher than that of male apprentices.

Liuhua lay in ambush on the courtyard wall, wearing a gray cloak, sprinkled with dust, and from a distance, almost integrated with the stone bricks, he waited for an unknown amount of time, starving, only drinking a little water when necessary, and finally waiting for the opportunity for the target to appear alone.

There were strict guards inside and outside the courtyard where the Dutch girl lived, and that night, she walked out of the room to meet with the people of the Snow Mountain Gang to discuss the details of the duel.

Liuhua strictly abided by his own assassination principles, and when the lotus girl approached the courtyard gate and entered the range of twenty paces, he shot two arrows in a row, and the arrow hit, but he didn't have time to make up an arrow in the mouth of the lotus girl, seven or eight apprentices who served as guards rushed out, and Liuhua had already chosen a retreat route and quickly disappeared.

This is the only time Liuhua has failed to leave a mark in the target's mouth.

The Arm Slave Gang was furious, and Gu Shen swore in public that he would avenge her, and assassinated an important member of the Snow Mountain Gang in the middle of the night.

Although everyone knows that this is the handiwork of Liuhua, they also regard this incident as a symbol of the lone killer defecting to the Snow Mountain Gang.

At this critical juncture, it is almost impossible to stay calm, but the Mustang shows a rare ability to maneuver, not only stopping the chaotic revenge of the gang, but also sending members to hunt down Liuhua to prove that he is not behind it.

In the handling of this matter, Gu Shenwei was deeply ashamed in his heart, the duel had not yet begun, and he had already lost two moves in a row in terms of leadership ability and decisive ability.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the Lotus Girl woke up, she was hit by two arrows, one was close to her heart, and the other pierced her left arm, but her reaction was still faster than the assassin expected, and she avoided the vital point at the last moment.

Dongbao only has the most ordinary trauma medicine, let alone a doctor, the Dutch girl was in a coma for a day and a night, miraculously woke up, and the first thing she said when she opened her eyes was, "Don't be fooled, this matter has nothing to do with the Snow Mountain Gang, it's time to end." ”

It was through this incident that Gu Shenwei began to trust the Dutch girl thoroughly, and he had been hiding his suspicions about this girl, which finally disappeared.

When the two first met, the indifferent attitude of the lotus girl unconsciously affected Gu Shenwei, he had suffered various expressions such as intimidation and contempt, but he had never encountered this kind of unreasonable indifference, especially since they were all slaves and were in the same class, and for a long time, Gu Shenwei's only remaining self-esteem was greatly affected by this.

Now, these are gone.

The duel between Huan Nu and Mustang was held as scheduled, and the Lotus Girl insisted on participating with her injuries, she was the most important assistant of the "helper", and she had the obligation to control the wind for him and prevent the other party from setting traps.

Everything went well, the members of the two gangs went out, no one was allowed to show up on the grounds of injury and illness, all of them were dressed in black and masked without weapons, the two sides counted the number of people to ensure that there were no hidden killers, one hundred and three people from the Snow Mountain Gang, eighty-nine people from the Arm Slave Gang, plus the missing Liuhua, a total of one hundred and ninety-three apprentices from Dongbao survived.

Liuhua has not been found, the two gangs searched Dongbao, but did not find any clues, in the end, everyone can only believe that he jumped off the cliff of death, this is not uncommon, in the past month, dozens of apprentices could not bear the bloody pressure, chose to end their lives.

The apprentices gathered in Wooden Knife Alley, and the air was filled with the smell of nervousness, vigilance, and joy, and no matter who won or lost, the nightmare of the month was finally coming to an end.

The duel between the killers will naturally not be a face-to-face contest, Huan Nu and Mustang will enter the ruins composed of seventeen courtyard ruins from two directions, and use the cover of ruined walls and waste grass and dead trees to destroy each other by means of assassination, without time limit, until one of them is killed, it may only be in the blink of an eye, or it may last for several days.

Gu Shenwei had already thought of a plan, and after the lotus girl woke up, the two discussed it again, and they both felt that it was feasible.

Mustang is a hunter, when there are many people, he adopts the means of encirclement and annihilation, and when he acts alone, he kills the enemy through patient tracking and traps arranged in advance, and the lotus girl remembers every assassination attempt of Mustang and draws conclusions from it, which coincides with Gu Shenwei's plan.

After entering the ruins, Gu Shenwei will move forward cautiously, searching for the traps laid by the wild horses, at this stage there is no way to please, he can only rely on experience and intuition, after a while, he will lay his own traps: leave inconspicuous traces on the road, attract the attention of the wild horses, and then turn back a short way and ambush the wild horses at the predetermined position.

He agreed with the lotus girl that this is a matter of a few knives, whether it is life or death, depending on which one is deceived.
