Chapter 758: Back to Camp
The entire barracks was surrounded by close attendants, and Shulitu's 30,000 men and horses cowered near the main tent in the center of the camp, fearfully confronting an enemy several times his size.
Hordes of close attendants rode heavily armed horses, half-open bows and arrows in their hands, and welcomed the unexpected return of the dragon king with silence and suspicion.
Gu Shenwei stopped under the gate, holding the reins in his right hand, and shaking his left hand lightly, Han Wuxian and the others understood what the Dragon King meant, and slowly retreated, only Han Fen rushed up without hesitation, and no one had time to stop her.
Han Fen always tried to stay away from the hall master as much as possible.
"Who is the leader?" Gu Shenwei asked in a loud voice, not stopping Han Fen's arrival.
Voices were heard in the distance, but not a single soldier stood up.
"Who is the leader?" Han Fen repeated, "Everyone is a man, don't be so awkward." ”
"You deceived us with a fake head. An indifferent voice in the crowd said, "The Chamberlain fought for you, but your reward was to desecrate the sacred name of the Old Khan King with the corpse of an ordinary man." ”
The body and head brought back under Mo Lin's guidance were recognized as fake, and Gu Shenwei knew that he was a step too late to come back, so he could only bite the bullet and meet the challenge, "I have never shown the corpse to anyone, nor have I claimed to anyone that the corpse is the old Khan King. ”
"We've all heard that you plan to use fake corpses to trick us into believing that the old Khan King is a **mortal fetus, but you haven't had time to implement it yet. An angry voice shouted.
Gu Shenwei opened his arms, "Please let the gods judge everything." With that, he drove the horse slowly with his legs.
The crowd slowly moved away, and the nearby attendants were still in awe of the dragon king, and many people looked into the dark sky in panic, not knowing that the Dapeng bird had gone away.
An arrow came from afar, Gu Shenwei reached out to grab it, and continued to move forward, this was a critical moment, he couldn't show the slightest panic and hesitation.
"Fire. Gu Shenwei said very quietly, almost moving his lips.
Han Fen looked at the Dragon King, his eyes rolled around, and finally understood the meaning of this word, straightened his body and shook it twice, as if there were small insects crawling around on his body.
The bowstrings in the hands of thousands of close attendants gradually pulled apart, and between them and the Dragon King, only a thin layer of isolation remained, and two or three more men took the lead to smash it to pieces.
At this moment, the arrow in the dragon king's hand suddenly burst into flames, the flames were red, and the smoke emitted was close to blue.
It was a strange scene, with thousands of pairs of eyes staring straight at the Dragon King, and no one could see how he lit it.
Gu Shenwei raised the arrow high, like a weak torch, the flame gradually moved downward, and finally the flame almost came out of his hand, but the arrow shaft did not change, as if the fire was just a passer-by like the wind, and the dragon king also maintained his usual indifference, and his palm was uninjured.
"The old Khan has appeared......," someone whispered, both frightened and excited.
"The god of fire is not allowed to shoot and wound the dragon king. "Someone finally came to the conclusion that Gu Shen was expecting.
A soldier rolls off his horse and falls to his knees, and it is he who shoots the first arrow.
Gu Shenwei walked in front of him, and as soon as he let go, the complete arrow fell to the ground, "The old Khan king doesn't think I'm guilty, but you are out of loyalty, and I forgive you for your innocence." ”
Pieces of arrows hung down along with the master's head, and the originally narrow passage became wider, and Gu Shenwei took Han Fen with him, maintaining a steady speed, and entered the range of the main tent.
The ordinary soldiers had already heard about what was ahead, and they made way for the dragon king with an even more awe-inspiring attitude, and their confidence suddenly doubled.
Fang Wen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, he was not good at dealing with this kind of sudden crisis, if the Dragon King followed his advice, the close service army should be defeated and injured with the Saint King army at this time, and he would not be able to carry out the encirclement at all.
However, he was still overjoyed to see the dragon king, and pushed everyone away with the courage of ten thousand people, and pulled the dragon king into the main tent, he wanted to be the first person to introduce the situation to the dragon king.
"I heard that with a wave of the Dragon King's hand, the arrows in the hands of thousands of close attendants turned to ashes, is it true?"
It's only half a mile away, and the truth has become a rumor that has been exaggerated countless times.
"Only one arrow. ”
"The Dragon King is not only good at martial arts, but also tricks...... No, it's a divine power, not to mention the dragon king, let alone tell me how he got it, it's best to keep it mysterious. ”
Han Fen stayed by the Dragon King's side and said with a smile: "It's all my ......"
"You have to keep it a secret. Gu Shenwei said.
Han Fen immediately put away his smile, "I saw it all with my own eyes." "Later, I felt that my reaction was really fast, and I was smiling even more happily there.
Fang Wen took a deep breath, made a long story short, and introduced the situation in the past two days.
At the beginning, the competition between Nanping and Liu Qingpu could not be carried out.
Gu Shenwei had previously sent detachments of guards in all directions, and yesterday morning, a 10,000-strong army returned, and their idea was even more radical, wanting to immediately execute Azheba and all the former officers of the guards in the barracks.
Shulitu argued with reason, and mentioned the coffin brought back by the Dragon King and Morin, and rumors that the coffin was the body of the old Khan King had been rampant, and the close attendants refused to believe it and insisted on an autopsy.
As a result, the corpses as well as the heads were fake.
"It's so rotten that someone can still recognize it. Fang Wen didn't know much about the details of that side, but this caused a large-scale uproar, and the close servants decided to include Shulitu and Morin in the list of sacrifices.
A large number of ordinary soldiers who were loyal to Shulitu and dissatisfied with the domineering attitude of the close guards surrounded them and planned to rob people, and the two sides clashed, and the close guards were outnumbered, not only did they not hand over the hostages, but also surrounded all the ordinary soldiers, so the contest was canceled, and the Qingcheng faction from Liu Qingpu and below were also trapped in the barracks.
"Alas, it's a shame. Fang Wen shook his head again and again, "It's good that the Dragon King is back, you can go and do two more tricks, and call the Divine Bird back, I think these two tricks will be good for the close servants." ”
"Who is the corpse outside the barracks?" asked Gu Shenwei.
"Qingcheng sent to find the master, and the close servants shot arrows without saying a word, which is also a trouble. ”
The two were talking, and there was a quarrel outside the tent, and one of them was uninvited, it was Liu Qingpu, the head of Qingcheng, "Dragon King, all the major sects in the Central Plains believe in your promise and come to compete, but what is the matter now? ”
Gu Shenwei saw Liu Qingpu holding his sword in his hand at a glance, stepped forward and said, "Lu Mian and Deng Yuanlei are dead. ”
"What?" Liu Qingpu involuntarily took a step back, "Uh, good death, they are traitors to their own sect...... The dragon king killed?"
Gu Shenwei nodded, Liu Qingpu's face changed slightly, he had seen Lu Mian's swordsmanship, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of the Dragon King.
"This is my sword. ”
"The Dragon King was too careless, he threw ...... at will"
"Master Liu should also be careful, I have picked up a person who claims to be your son. ”
Liu Qingpu's face changed again, and he gave birth to a son, who disappeared with Deng Yuanlei the night before, and looked for a long time without clues, "My son is indeed gone, Dragon King...... Is he alright?"
"As intact as my sword. ”
Liu Qingpu's momentum disappeared, hesitated for a moment, and handed the sword to the Dragon King, "The thing returns to the original owner, I hope to have a fair competition with the Dragon King, and don't mix personal grievances." ”
"The best. Gu Shenwei calmly took the sword, "Liu Gongzi's future is limitless, congratulations to the successor of Master Liu." ”
Liu Qingpu sneered, knowing that his son's fate was saved.
The hostility of the close servants to the Dragon King was eliminated a lot, Han Wuxian and the other three returned to the camp smoothly, Nie Zeng and Tie Linglong entered the account together, and Gu Shenwei returned the narrow knife borrowed before.
Shangguan Fei and Chu Nanping came in together, the latter looked at Tie Linglong, his eyes were clear, as if he was expecting, Tie Linglong turned his head, his lips closed.
"It's a shame that the tournament has been postponed for so long, but it's not too late, let's start now. Gu Shenwei said.
"Now?" Liu Qingpu was taken aback.
"Dragon King, close service army......" Fang Wen was also taken aback, in terms of priority, a hundred Qingcheng factions were not as good as the close service army.
Gu Shenwei raised his hand to stop him from talking, and asked Chu Nanping instead, "Can you use dual swords again?"
Chu Nanping thought for a while, "It should be possible." ”
Gu Shenwei handed over the dragon head sword, "If you lose, give me back the sword, if you win, it will be yours from now on." ”
Chu Nanping was indifferent to the encouragement, took the dragon head sword, bowed his head and pondered, as if recalling the use of the double sword.
"Isn't it the Dragon King who plays?" Liu Qingpu's face turned red, and he felt that he was being slighted.
"I'm not good at martial arts. Gu Shenwei threw down such a sentence and walked out of the tent with the Wufeng knife, it was from this day that he no longer used the sword.
The sword had been a ferry, and he believed that he had set foot on the other side of the Dead Man's Passage, and that he no longer needed tools.
The tent was very large, Nie Zeng and the others moved the tables and chairs to vacate the venue, and even Tie Linglong stayed curiously, intending to see if Chu Nanping's swordsmanship was really enhanced after he "abandoned" himself.
Liu Qingpu's face was blushing, the dragon king designated the competition like a subordinate, and he didn't even talk about a gambling contract, but he didn't immediately refuse, and when the dragon king came out, the best time to refuse had passed.
The swordsman with the twin swords still looks a little childish, which adds to the humiliation of the competition.
More and more martial arts people from the Central Plains crowded into the tent, Liu Qingpu drew his sword out of the sheath, and only by defeating the young man in front of him could he force the Dragon King to make a move.
Fang Wen shook his head slightly, he didn't understand why the Dragon King was also optimistic about Xiao Chu, but he was not in the mood to watch, Long Chuanyun, who rushed in after him, nodded, signaled him to maintain the situation, and sneaked out of the tent to chase after the Dragon King.
Where can you take the nearby servants by pretending to be a god and playing ghosts?Fang Wen was not sure at all, the dragon king's methods were not quite in line with the power and art of war that he had read.
As a military advisor and strategist, Fang Wen finally admitted that he was in a hurry when dealing with accidents, and he missed the words of pointing out the country and talking on paper.
The confrontation between the two soldiers in the barracks was not over, and Shulitu, Morin, and dozens of officers were still in the hands of the close guards.
Gu Shenwei had a plan in mind, and turned his head to look at Han Fen, who was following closely, wondering if it was not wise to give her such an important task.
