Chapter 633: The Game
The five of them sat in the same tent, looking at each other, each with their own thoughts.
Shangguan Yun's body was covered with ropes, and his ankles were still chained, even in this situation, he still kept smiling, and was the first to break the silence, "The four masters are watching me together, you don't need to tie me so strongly, right?"
Fang Wen was a little more nervous than everyone else, pricked up his ears to listen to the sound outside, and wanted to stand up as soon as there was a stir, "I'm not a master, if you want me to say, the bundle is not strong enough." β
Old man Mu was the most calm, and took over the conversation, "You don't feel well, right?"
"Of course. Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly.
"Either I'll tie you up again and make sure you're comfortable, no, it's just fluttering. β
Old Man Mu rubbed his hands, his eyes moved up and down, Shangguan Yun felt tight, shook his head and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, I am not qualified to enjoy Old Man Mu's stunts." Then he turned to his brother and looked at him for a moment, "I don't know if I'm mistaken, I think I just saved you once." β
"Y-You're trying to take advantage of me. Shangguan Fei's face was white, the last thing he wanted to do now was to talk to his brother.
"Yes, 'using' you to send a message to the Dragon King, your role is really not small. β
Shangguan Fei's face turned even redder, and he was startled when he suddenly saw Old Man Mu's meaningful gaze, thinking that he was still being tested by the Dragon King, how could he show that he was not strong-willed? Old Man Mu acted perversely, one moment he was still enthusiastically teaching martial arts, and the next moment he was still killing people without blinking, he couldn't provide him with an excuse, "Shangguan Yun, save it, no one here will sympathize with you, let alone let you go, it is you who have thrown yourself into the net, and you can't complain about others." β
Shangguan Yun didn't say anything, but it was Old Man Mu who opened his mouth to accuse, "Shangguan Fei, don't pretend too much, you are brothers, and it is understandable to show a little affection." β
Shangguan Fei didn't dare to argue, and he knew that he couldn't, so he simply buried his head in silence and didn't look at anyone.
Old man Mu was still nagging, Shangguan Yun changed the topic in time and rescued his younger brother from the fire pit, "Your Excellency is the son of General Su, who is said to be the king of the king's account?"
There was no rope on Liman's body, but his face was much more ugly than Shangguan Yun's, and a sound came out of his nose, and he couldn't tell whether it was "hum" or "um".
"Oh, it turns out that you were also arrested, and the Dragon King broke with the King of Heaven? β
"You seem to have a lot of words, do you want to get along with me?" Old man Mu grabbed a piece of rope with his hand.
"How can I have the guts?" Shangguan Yun's face showed just the right amount of surprise, "This time back in Beiting, King Dubu specially reminded me that the Dragon King is not to be afraid, Old Man Mu is the person you should pay attention to the most, he is not only the best in the world in martial arts, but also his intelligence is rare in the world." β
"Dubu Wang really said that my martial arts are the best in the world?" Old man Mu knew that it was impossible, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Why am I lying to you?" Shangguan Yun said more and more like a true thing, "King Dubu also said that Old Man Mu did not participate in the battle for hegemony, which is the luck of Jinpeng Castle, and it is a great luck for the people of the world. β
Old Man Mu smiled even more happily, his eyes almost disappeared into the pile of folds, and he got up and walked over, "My brother just can talk, and my brother is as stupid as shit." With that, he picked up his arm and slapped Shangguan Yun's cheek hard.
Shangguan Yun dodged the sneak attack, only his neck could move all over his body, but he still dodged, Old Man Mu looked at the empty palm, and was surprised, "You dare to hide?"
"It's just a coincidence, there's a little worm on the neck. Shangguan Yun was as humble as a well-informed young man facing his father, brother and teacher.
Old Man Mu didn't care about this, he raised his hand to fight again, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside, as if thousands of horses were galloping, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the ground and trembled.
Although they couldn't see anything, everyone still looked at the door, and the old man's arms were frozen in the air, forgetting about the beating.
The sound became louder and louder, Fang Wen and Shangguan Fei both changed their faces, the curtain was lifted, and the two stood up at the same time.
It was a female officer who entered, "The cavalry of the king, who has just passed by the gate of the camp." β
"Didn't disturb the camp, did you?" Fang Wen asked nervously.
"Nope. β
Old Man Mu couldn't help but interject, in order to say this, he even lowered his arm in the air, "Don't be careless, a thousand female soldiers of the country of incense, which man is not blushing? β
The female officer's face changed, and then she raised her head and said, "We have bows and arrows in our hands, but they are not anyone's trophies. β
"Nobody wants to be a trophy. Old man Mu spread his hands, "It's all forced." β
Fang Wen reprimanded sharply: "Hugh is talking nonsense, what does the war of the prince of Beiting have to do with the country of incense? The Dragon King will act on his own initiative, no matter who wins, he must treat the Dragon Army well." β
Old man Mu pointed at Fang Wens, the expression on his face was like a thief caught in the form, "See, there are already white and fat men who are interested in you, and they are trying to please you, be careful, I heard that more than a dozen big-bellied women are offering rewards to find him." β
The female officer snorted, "The head of the sect is not here, you are more annoying than before." Then he shook his hand and left.
Old Man Mu looked stunned, "Is she talking about me? I'm a good heart, not like a white fat man, all lustful hearts." β
Fang Wen didn't want to entangle with Old Man Mu, but he couldn't bear it anymore at this time, "It's all your troubles, why don't you just bring the Dragon King's guards over? Why kidnap the person who chased the king? It's all your responsibility to get into trouble." β
"Ha, what a clever military advisor, if there is really 'trouble' coming to the door later, you can put all the responsibility on me, maybe people can reward you with a few taels of silver. β
The two looked at each other angrily, one couldn't fight, the other didn't dare to fight, and they both wanted to force each other back with their eyes.
Shangguan Yun persuaded him, "Okay, okay, let's take a step, we can stay in a tent, we are finally fated, it's better to play a game like this, which can not only reduce the anger, but also relieve boredom." β
Old Man Mu was still staring at Fang Wens, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, "What game?"
"Well, this game is very simple, just guess which side the dragon king will be on tomorrow morning, and call it the king, the king of praise, or some other king?"
"Do you want to say that the Dragon King is two-faced and three-stabbed?" Fang Wen was ready to firmly defend the Dragon King's reputation.
"It's just a game, why don't you change it to which prince has the ability to get the support of the Dragon King?"
Fang Wen was not in the mood to play any games, but Old Man Mu was very happy, rubbing his palms, as if he had dice in his palms, "Who will come first?"
"I don't allow you to speculate unreasonably about the Dragon King. Fang Wen still felt that this game was disrespectful to the Dragon King.
Old Man Mu pointed at Fang Wens, "The military advisor will come first." β
"I said ......"
"Yes, you said that you can't guess for no reason, then make some 'end' guesses, you are a military advisor, and you know the Dragon King best, unless...... Hey...... The dragon king doesn't trust you, you don't know anything, so don't dare to play this game. β
Fang Wen opened his mouth to speak, but only a snort remained in his mouth, indicating that he was very disdainful of this accusation.
"I'll come first. Liman in the corner was the first to join the game, his face still pale, "The Dragon King will definitely take refuge in the King of Heaven, and he will come to apologize to me in person tomorrow morning and punish you for your actions, especially you, Old Man Mu." β
Old Man Mu didn't care, although this was a game proposed by Shangguan Yun, he took charge of the arbitrator, "This can't be done alone, you have to say some reason." β
"This is not simple, the two kings are fighting, the winner is respected, whoever controls the dragon court, the dragon king will naturally fall to whom. β
"Well, it makes sense, but the knowledge is still too short-sighted, Shangguan Fei, it's your turn. β
"Huh?" Shangguan Fei raised his head, the flush on his face hadn't dissipated, "I, I don't have any idea, anyway, follow the Dragon King, I will go wherever he goes." β
"Don't try to be opportunistic, although you are a little stupid, but you are not stupid, can you have no idea in your heart? β
Shangguan Fei was "forced" to be helpless, thought for a while and said: "Neither the king nor the king can get the dragon king." β
"Why?" The other three didn't pay much attention, only Old Man Mu asked quite seriously, letting the game continue.
"Well, I feel, I just feel, these two princes have lost the favor of the old Khan King, and the old Khan King acquiesced to their war in the Dragon Court, not so much indulgence as provocation, and when both sides are defeated, he will take action to solve it. β
Hearing this reason, Li Man was shocked, Shangguan Yun began to look at his younger brother with interest, and even Fang Wenshi turned his head to glance at Shangguan Fei, "You have quite confidence in the old Khan King." β
"He fell in love with the old Khan. Old man Mu said in a tone that knew the inside story, "I'm trying to be a concubine." β
Shangguan Fei's face turned red again when he had just returned to normal, "I...... No, in fact, the matter is clear, the old Khan King's action to deal with the swordsmen in the Central Plains and the Western Regions is already a reminder that the wise prince chooses to Taoguang to raise obscurity, and he will chase the king and praise the king to be dizzy, so he will have a decisive battle at this time. β
"Hey, what do you know?" Liman retorted, "My prince will not be dizzy, and neither will the king of praise, no matter who wins, he will have his own way to overcome the hurdle of the old Khan king." β
Old man Mu liked this kind of scene, and immediately joined the battle group, "Assassination, what a simple move." β
Shangguan Fei is by no means the "stupid" that Old Man Mu said, he actually thinks a lot in his heart, "And it is also a trick to plant blame, it is said that Wang Sheng, and it is Jinpeng Castle that kills the king, and it is Wang Sheng, and the crime is on the head of the Dragon King, and the two princes have tried their best to win over the forces of the Western Regions, isn't it this day?"
Old man Mu clapped his hands, "What Xiao Feifei said is extremely true, look, under my influence, you have become a lot smarter, right?"
Liman's face was blue and red, he was not a confidant of the king, but he also guessed about his prince's plan, which was similar to what Shangguan Fei said.
"You haven't said which side the Dragon King will be on?" Old Man Mu did not forget the rules of the game.
"Old Khan King, the Dragon King must choose the true master of the grassland. Shangguan Fei is full of confidence.
Old Man Mu looked at Fang Wens, "What's the matter, it's itchy, right?" Tell me about it, it proves that you are the Dragon King's most trusted military advisor." β
Fang Wen was indeed itchy, and snorted a few times, "The temper of the Dragon King is never controlled by others, the stronger the control of the Old Khan King, the less loyal he will be to the Dragon King." β
"You mean to say that the Dragon King wants to go it alone? It's unlikely, the people of Beiting don't recognize him. Old Man Mu induced the military advisor to continue.
Fang Wen knew that this was a radical method, but he still said: "Tell you that it doesn't matter, anyway, it will be revealed as soon as the morning dawns, the Dragon King will unite with the Xiao Yan clan, she is a woman, it is easier to control, and the Dragon King can obtain the greatest benefits by using her." β
Fang Wen is guarding the bottom line, not mentioning Duotun and Luo Luo.
"Well, the Dragon King is good at dealing with women. Old Man Mu nodded admiringly, "His little white face that is not dead or alive is quite pleasing to women." β
Before Fang heard the accusation, Old Man Mu had already turned to Shangguan Yun, "This is your game, it's time for you to say it." β
Shangguan Yun coughed twice, moved his body, and made himself a little more comfortable, "Mr. Fang is really the Dragon King's most trusted military advisor, but he has the goods in his heart and hasn't poured them out, I'll stab it, the Dragon King's real mind is not in the Dragon Court at all, whether it is the prince or the Xiao Yan clan, it is all a passing cloud, he is thinking about a prince in the Western Regions, a prince who will be very important, but he is anxious now, worried that this prince will not be able to escape the narrow knife of the Jinpeng killer." β
Fang Wen was shocked and blurted out, "So you know!"
Shangguan Yun smiled and nodded.
Shangguan Fei already liked this game, and interjected: "The third brother underestimated the Dragon King, you forgot one person, the dragon turned over the clouds, and there was a horse, the flame horse, the Dragon Court is not chaotic, Jinpeng Castle does not dare to make a move, the Dragon Court is in chaos, and the news can not be outrun by Brother Long, who has been off for a few days." β
Shangguan Yun's smile stiffened slightly, "Alas, if this is the case, there will be another hard battle." β
Fang Wen secretly complained that he didn't expect to disappear for several days, all the actions of the dragon king had a purpose, Long Chuanyun rode a flame horse to escape from the arena, it was not just as simple as avoiding the king, "It seems that Jinpeng Castle is planning to take refuge in the king and grandson in the east? β
"Like the Dragon King, Jinpeng Castle doesn't like to be controlled by people. Shangguan Yun said lightly.
"Don't interrupt, I haven't said the finale yet, my guess is different from yours. β
The eyes of the four people turned over, but the old man Mu was very reserved, his head was held high, his eyes were closed, as if possessed by a fairy, and he opened his eyes after a while, "You guys, you are too naΓ―ve, blinded by the surface of the dragon king, he actually doesn't care who the sweat position falls into, all he is thinking about now is one thing, how to rescue the good girl, how to defeat the bad girl." β
