Chapter 210: Folding Lotus
Wei Lingmiao was really washed thoroughly, but it's hard to say if it's cleaner.
The guards who were so anxious to jump into the river actually found the son of the governor in the river, Wei Lingmiao's hands were tied to a log, rising and falling in the river, his eyes were blindfolded, there was something in his mouth, he couldn't see anything and couldn't call for help, he didn't know where he was, he only felt that the water was turbulent, and it seemed that he would be washed off the cliff at any moment.
Wei Lingmiao was frightened a lot, but after he returned to Beicheng to reorganize his clothes and calm down, he regarded this adventure as a romantic affair that could be used for the publicity field, "The falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, this sentence is not false at all." β
The people who originally wanted to laugh at him were also impressed by him, and felt that Wei Gongzi was really a rare love species, and the ten sons of Shibao were a big scene.
Everyone knew who the perpetrator was, even if Wei Gongzi had never seen the true face of the kidnappers from beginning to end, even if Xiao Fengchai claimed that those people had nothing to do with her by sneaking in, the residents of Biyu City knew it.
Wei Lingmiao forgave the tenth son, but severely punished his guards, dozens of people, and it was really a dereliction of duty to let the master be kidnapped like this.
In order to protect his own safety, and in order to get close to the tenth prince, Wei Lingmiao made a request through layers of relationships, and even used the forces in the stone castle, he hoped that there would be a killer by his side, and he named the killer Yang Huan.
Shangguan Ru was reluctant to let him go, "He knows that you participated in the kidnapping, and this is to take the opportunity to retaliate against you." β
"Until the more than a million taels of silver are in hand, he won't do anything to me. Gu Shenwei was willing to accept this task, and he still had a lot of things to figure out from Wei Gongzi.
The first thing Wei Lingmiao said when she saw the killer was, "Who else can guard against the killer better than the killer?"
"Identity is more useful than a killer. Gu Shenwei replied without being soft or hard, if Wei Lingmiao was not the son of the city governor, he would have sunk to the bottom of the river a long time ago.
Wei Lingmiao didn't care, he had his own purpose, to keep the most trusted killer of the Ten Princes by his side, that little girl should not dare to play tricks anymore.
Gu Shenwei became Wei Lingmiao's temporary personal guard, accompanying him to visit the big people in Beicheng everywhere, Wei Gongzi during the day was polite and personable, and at night he went to Nancheng to fool around, broke into the brothel, threw the guests out of bed, forced the bitch to sleep with him, and still insisted on going to the door of Kunshe to give gifts every day.
Gu Shenwei only figured out one thing, Wei Lingmiao didn't have a fixed type of woman he liked, he was like a collector, always looking for unusual treasures, tall, short, fat and thin, beautiful and ugly, rich and poor, he wanted to explore them one by one.
Gu Shenwei hated this person who almost became his brother-in-law more and more.
He never found a chance to inquire about the past, but he didn't expect Wei Lingmiao to take the initiative to mention it.
It was a few days before Wei Lingmiao was about to leave Biyu City, he had not seen the Ten Princes, and planned to go to the Four Noble Truths to burn incense and worship the Buddha, asking for a spiritual wish, for which Wei Gongzi stopped for a day, did not drink and sleep with women all day, and bathed in incense several times, so the temperament of the whole person changed, and he looked listless, a little more serious, and even a little otherworldly.
That night, Wei Lingmiao was looking at the moon in a pavilion in Bodhi Garden, leaving only the killer Yang Huan by his side, he didn't speak for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, he asked a very abrupt question, "I heard that you have a sword with a woman's name engraved on the hilt." β
"That doesn't make much sense. Gu Shenwei bowed slightly, his sword did have the word "Yun", which was the name of the lotus girl before she became a slave, and the two of them used this method to hide people's eyes, and no one had any more ideas.
"Hey, anything makes sense, you just don't admit it or haven't noticed it yet. Wei Gongzi is still more energetic when talking about love and women, "For example, you think you like someone, but after you work hard to get it, you feel bored, and the person you want to forget in every possible way is always fluttering in front of your eyes, waking up in the middle of the night, and you can't even tell whether she is real or fake." β
Gu Shenwei didn't understand Wei Lingmiao's feelings, he felt that he didn't have such contradictory emotions, love is love, hate is hate, and it was clear, "The tenth prince probably doesn't like to listen to this kind of talk." β
"Hehe, you are really a loyal killer, I'm not talking about her, but think about it, the current ten sons are really cute, fierce and spicy, maybe after getting married, it will be a little bird, women, no one understands. β
Gu Shenwei didn't answer and looked at the lake.
Wei Lingmiao kept staring at him, "You know what, I should hate you." β
"I'm just doing what I'm told. Gu Shenwei thought that Wei Gongzi was worried about being kidnapped.
"No, that's just a joke, it's harmless, were you born in Jinpeng Castle?"
"No, I only entered the stone fort a few years ago. β
"Then you may know that Jinpeng Fort killed a family surnamed Gu. β
"A little impressed. Gu Shen felt astringent in his throat, and he almost couldn't help himself.
"The daughter of the Gu family is my fiancΓ©e, we are about to get married in a few months, I always think, if she hadn't died, I must have been completely different from now, not that I don't like other women anymore, but I will be more responsible, and I know what I want, that is a good girl, dignified and stable since she was a child, kind-hearted, I have never seen someone like her. β
Wei Lingmiao confessed his heart to a killer who he was not familiar with, these words seemed to have been held in his heart for a long time, but after saying them, he was even more sad, maybe a little angry, and his eyes towards the killer became sharper, "Jinpeng Fort killed my woman, not only did I not take revenge, but I also had fun with them, you must look down on me, right? β
"Killers only kill, not take revenge. Gu Shenwei forced himself to calm down, and said an old saying in the stone castle, like other old sayings, he could only deceive the layman who didn't understand anything.
Wei Lingmiao repeated this sentence twice, and seemed to have some understanding, and then smiled, "Revenge is to make the enemy feel pain, but there is no pain when killed, right?"
"Yes. Gu Shenwei's inner turmoil became more and more intense, and if it weren't for the fact that the few years in the stone castle made him suspicious, he would almost have to confess his true feelings.
The Wei family has the will to take revenge, Gu Shenwei understood Wei Lingmiao's extraneous voice, but he didn't understand why the other party said that he listened, as a Jinpeng Castle killer, he was the "object" of Wei Gongzi's revenge.
"You're a special killer. Wei Lingmiao seemed to want to win over the killer, and gradually approached the topic, "Zhong Duwei said a lot about you. β
"Lord Zhong has won the award, and I can't even get together the 'peace charm'. β
"It's a small thing. Wei Lingmiao shook her head, "You have your own ideas, you don't want to be led by others, and you always insist on realizing your own ideas, this is the real ability, people like you should exert their skills in a broader space." β
Gu Shenwei suddenly realized, it turned out that the purpose of Wei Gongzi to win him over was not only to get close to the tenth prince, but to make the killer defect from the stone castle, could it be that the Wei family had really been silently preparing to avenge the Gu family?" "The stone castle is big enough to accommodate me as a killer." β
Gu Shenwei pretended to be confused for his decision, Wei Lingmiao didn't break it, but changed the topic and chatted a few words, and then talked about tomorrow's trip to the Four Noble Truths, "Killer, chop a few lotus flowers for me, I want to give them to my fiancΓ©e, her ashes are stored in Jialan, that is the only thing I can do at that time." β
There was a hint of ridicule in Wei Lingmiao's tone, Gu Shenwei didn't like it, but hearing that his sister's bones had whereabouts, it still made his heart tremble, "You should take her back to the Central Plains." β
"Then she won't see what I'm going to do in Biyu City. β
This was the end of the conversation, Gu Shenwei did not ask, and Wei Lingmiao did not explain.
Wei Gongzi is not the same as the killer imagined at first, this man still loves his sister, and he has not forgotten it for almost three years, and has been planning to take revenge.
The Central Plains is powerful, but it is beyond the reach of Biyu City, there are only more than 100 garrisons in the city, which is symbolic, and there is no soldier within a thousand miles, Gu Shenwei can understand the hardships of Wei's father and son at that time, Wei Song is the city governor, so naturally he can't be rash, just like Gu Shen for himself, before he has the strength to avenge, he can only change his name and surname to endure humiliation and steal his life.
What method does Wei Lingmiao want to use to take revenge? He doesn't know martial arts, and he only relies on the Central Plains, if the Central Plains is willing to send troops...... The more Gu Shenwei thought about it, the farther he went, and he was even a little excited, planning to figure out this matter before Wei Gongzi left.
The next day, Wei Lingmiao led a large team out of the city to the Four Noble Heavens, followed by Zhong Heng, the commander of the city, who was presumably instructed to approach the killer and strongly suggest that they should have a good talk in private.
Gu Shenwei's enthusiasm has been extinguished a lot by his suspicions, the city governor Wei Song is about to leave office, at this juncture, Wei Gongzi wants to buy the killer in the stone castle, it seems that it is not so simple, he has to deal with it carefully, and he can't let the revenge of the Wei family accidentally hurt himself.
Only a very small number of people can enter the Four Truths Garan, Gu Shenwei handed over the four-colored lotus flower he had collected with his own hands, and guarded outside the mountain gate with other guards, thinking about what Wei Gongzi had said over and over in his head.
"Amitabha, donor, you're finally here. β
Gu Shenwei turned around in surprise and saw a tall monk, and then recognized that this was a lotus leaf monk, with extremely high martial arts, and he usually never left the left and right of Senior Brother Lianhua, and it was rare to appear alone.
"Hello, monk. β
"It's not good, it's not good, senior brother is bedridden, how can I be okay?"
"Master Lianhua is sick?" Gu Shenwei commissioned the great monk to translate the "Book of the Dead" at that time, and then forgot about this matter, but he didn't expect that the monk would die soon, and I am afraid that no one in the whole world will be able to understand the scriptures except him.
"Yes, donor, come with me, worship my senior brother as a teacher, practice the "Theory of Breaking Attachments", remove the murderous intention, and fulfill the wishes of the two masters. β
"I'm sorry, I have something important to do, and I can't leave. β
Lotus Ye roared angrily, startling the surrounding guards, everyone thought that he was a high monk in Jialan, and no one dared to come forward to persuade him.
"People are going to die, what else do you have to do! β
Lotus Ye suddenly made a move, Gu Shenwei had already prepared, but he didn't carry his usual sword when he went out this time, and the narrow knife he borrowed temporarily was a little handy, and his speed was slow for a moment, and the monk's martial arts were still beyond his imagination, and a finger popped out, and he actually hit his acupoint in the air.
Gu Shenwei's body was weak, and he was already on the shoulders of the monk, and the lotus leaf took a big stride, pushed everyone away, and ran towards the hillside on the side of Jialan.
The guards were dumbfounded, and no one stepped forward to intervene, but whispered earnestly, thinking that the killer of Jinpeng Castle was nothing more than that.
