Chapter 338: Rumors

Gu Shenwei was prepared, thinking that he had to go through many hurdles before he could meet Shangguan Fei.

The Ninth Young Master is a person who cherishes his life very much, and usually wants to pile all the guards next to his bed, even so, he has to sleep with his eyes open, and prick up his ears to listen to the heavens and the earth.

To Gu Shenwei's surprise, after staying in the Shiguo Station, Shangguan Fei seemed to be completely assured of the safety here, and the guards were lax as if they were hiding traps.

Gu Shenwei observed for a long time, and finally simply showed up and went to see Shangguan Fei openly.

The attendant at the door seemed to have expected the dragon king to come, announced loudly to the inside, and then respectfully invited the dragon king to the meeting room.

When they met Prime Minister Shi Guo together, Shangguan Fei was gloomy like a critically ill old man, but now he was a smiling young man, welcoming the Dragon King's visit in an overly enthusiastic and exaggerated way.

"The dragon king is coming, it is really full of luxury, please sit here, quickly, serve tea, the dragon king can drink? Oh, it's still the same as before, ah, looking back, I remember vividly, the changes in the dragon king ......"

Gu Shenwei had to admit that he was confused by Shangguan Fei, they were open enemies, and although they were negotiating peace, they didn't need to be as affectionate as their best friends.

There were quite a few people in the hall, and the servants ran back and forth, served tea and snacks, and consciously withdrew.

Shangguan Hong is also there, he now has a new responsibility, that is, when Shangguan Fei can't think of words and the Dragon King doesn't want to speak, come over to break the deadlock and not let the scene be too deserted, "I still remember the scene where the Dragon King played with the two sons in the stone castle, to be honest, it can make us schoolchildren envious, and the Dragon King was different at that time......"

Gu Shenwei has never experienced such explicit and flattering flattery, most of the swordsmen in the Great Snow Mountain are silent, Gu Shenwei is used to getting along with that group of tenacious men, and in the face of such a fierce sycophant offensive, he is really a little overwhelmed.

During the whole process, he rarely spoke, but the vigilance in his heart did not relax at all, even if it was ten times more beautiful words, it would not make him flutter.

What's more, Shangguan Ru is also by his brother's side.

On the way to Shiguo, she was disguised and mixed in the team, and by this time she had recovered her original appearance, and she wore a long, narrow-sleeved dress that was convenient for movement, with a narrow knife under her waist, and sat on a chair dignifiedly, and was the only person in the parlor who did not make a fuss about the arrival of the dragon king.

She was the same as Gu Shenwei, she almost didn't speak, her eyes looked out of the window, it seemed that she was outside the gods, and her mind was not here at all, but when Fei and Hong talked more and more outrageously, and even described her former self as Huan Nu's follower, she couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up suddenly, holding the handle of the knife in one hand, "Shameless, don't you two think about the face of the Shangguan family at all?"

Shangguan Ru's big, dark eyes stared at Gu Shenwei, as if she was about to challenge on the spot, but in just a moment, she looked away and walked out of the hall.

Shangguan Fei showed an unknown expression of surprise, "What's wrong with her? Old friends reminisce about the old days, and they also provoke her? Don't worry about the Dragon King, my sister is not in a good mood, in fact, she, hehe, remembers the Dragon King more than us." ”

Gu Shenwei was also a little unbearable, "Shangguan Fei, I think we already know each other very well." ”

"That's that, that's. Shangguan Fei gave a look, and Shangguan Hong retreated with interest, bowing down and walking backwards, humble as if he were the lowest slave.

"I guess the Dragon King will come in the next two days. "There are only two people left, and Shangguan Fei still keeps trying to get close.

"Well, I'm here to talk to you about the deal. ”

In the tavern of Shuangquan Village, Shangguan Fei once proposed to exchange his sister for the Dragon King to withdraw from the competition, and at this time, when he heard that the Dragon King wanted to continue the negotiation, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "You see my sister, she ......"

"It has nothing to do with her. Gu Shenwei said categorically, "I need other benefits." ”

Shangguan Fei looked a little confused, but quickly understood, "Dragon King, please say, as long as you can be a concubine, I will agree to any conditions." ”

"You can marry a princess, but you can't be a king. ”

Shangguan Fei showed a look of embarrassment, "This, Dragon King, it's not up to me to decide, this is an arrangement made by the king, whether I want it or not, the king of Shiguo will abdicate and become a monk, it's useless for me to refuse." ”

"You don't have to worry about anything else, I just need you to publicly declare that you will not covet the throne. ”

"Ah, I see, the Dragon King wants to bring the monks of the Four Noble Truths to ...... Then the king could not become a monk. ”

Shangguan Fei made a gesture of cutting off his head, but Gu Shenwei still said the same thing, "I said it, don't worry about it." ”

Shangguan Fei nodded thoughtfully, "I promise, but I can't say this now, I promise, while announcing that I am a colt, I will say that I am not interested in the throne." However, I think the Dragon King will definitely know that in the eyes of others, my statement is just a retreat, and it is not counted. ”

"That's it. Gu Shenwei stood up and prepared to leave, "A reminder, your competitor is not me, it is Prince Loulan." ”

Shangguan Fei immediately understood the meaning of the Dragon King's words, "Central Plains envoy ......"

Gu Shenwei left the meeting room, the post station was not very big, and many people could only live in tents outside, and the distance from Shangguan Fei to the Dragon King's residence was only more than a hundred steps.

This trip did not solve the doubts in his heart, Shangguan Fei was very smart, flattering on the surface, but in fact, he did not leak, and hid his true thoughts very deeply, Gu Shenwei still didn't understand what this Nine Young Master was afraid of, and why he had to cooperate with the Dragon King, and he was not afraid of outsiders knowing at all.

Shangguan Hong seemed to be competing with the Nine Young Masters to see who could please the Dragon King more, Gu Shenwei had just returned to the house, and Lin Xiaoshan came to inform him that Shangguan Hong had asked to see him.

Perhaps because he had revealed many secrets, Shangguan Hong seemed more comfortable than Shangguan Fei, and he didn't make a detour, and as soon as he came in, he said, "Dragon King, you have to save me." ”

"It depends on how much you can tell the truth. ”

Shangguan Hong seemed to be ready to tell the truth, his hands were stirred together, pacing back and forth, looking panicked and worried, and after a while, he stopped, looked up and said: "There is news that you are going to kill all the people who come to Jinpeng Castle to propose marriage after the princess chooses a concubine. ”

"Do you believe it?" Gu Shenwei asked coldly, feeling that Shangguan Hong was not as calm as Shangguan Fei, and he might be able to open the gap from here.

Shangguan Hong shook his head, "I don't believe it." ”

"And what are you worried about?"

"I'm not worried about the Dragon King, it's the person who spreads the news. ”

Gu Shenwei had a flash of inspiration in his mind and understood the whole conspiracy, but he felt that it was too unbelievable, so he didn't open his mouth and waited for Shangguan Hong to continue.

"Someone, no matter who this person is, wants to invalidate the truce between the Dragon King and Jinpeng Castle, so choose a few or even a group of victims in the fort. ”

After saying these words, Shangguan Hong was very excited, and raised his arms exaggeratedly, as if appealing to heaven for justice, "Why is it always me who is unlucky? ”

"Shangguan Fei also knows about this?"

"Perhaps, we rarely talk, he is the master, and I am the 'slave'. Shangguan Hong's tone was unabated, "Looking at his performance, he probably understands that this act is more auspicious, he is so openly friendly with the Dragon King, doesn't he just want everyone to know that the Dragon King has no reason to kill him, he thinks that in this way, the conspiracy will not be implemented." In fact, what did he have to worry about? He was the son of King Dubu, the Ninth Young Master of Jinpeng Castle, no matter what happened, he would not be sacrificed. ”

Gu Shenwei stared at Shangguan Hong, speculating on how much of the content in his words was credible, "It was Zhang Ji who told you this." ”

Shangguan Hong's mouth opened wide in surprise, and then lowered his head, "Yes, Mr. Zhang warned me to be careful. ”

"This is the secret that Zhang Ji put on you?"

Shangguan Hong smiled, as if he knew that the Dragon King would ask this, "Hehe, Dragon King, I can tell you anything, I can't do it on this matter, but don't worry, when the princess chooses the concubine, I will hand over the secret, Zhang Ji said...... Forget it, I can't hand it in now anyway, this is my talisman. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't continue to press, although he knew that as long as he pulled out the Wufeng Knife, Shangguan Hong would shake everything out.

Before figuring out Zhang Ji's true intentions, he didn't want to fall into the trap easily, this teaching gentleman who had no status in Jinpeng Castle seemed to be playing an extremely complicated trick, and the Dragon King was only a minor role in it.

Gu Shenwei approached Shangguan Hong, "I want to help you, but you have to work hard yourself, tell me who spread this rumor." ”

"I don't know, I don't know, but...... It's obvious, you know, except for the king......"

Gu Shenwei knew that this was what made him feel incredible, in order to put the charge of sabotaging the armistice on the Dragon King, King Dubu did not hesitate to sacrifice his two sons, you know, there are not many men left in the Shangguan family.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a behemoth beast quietly approaching, Gu Shenwei had heard its gasp, but he couldn't find where its bloody mouth was open.

He asked Shangguan Hong to go first, thought for a while, summoned the three swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain who came with him, explained a few words, kept them firmly in mind, and then ordered them to leave for the Great Snow Mountain camp immediately.

If King Dubu really wanted to break the truce, the thousands of people in the camp of the Great Snow Mountain would be very dangerous.

The next day, Gu Shen looked for an opportunity to meet with Zhong Heng and told him about this strange thing, Zhong Heng considered the problem from a different angle than the Dragon King, and thought for a long time, he said: "The real purpose of this rumor may not be to sacrifice the two sons of the Dubu King, but to sacrifice the Dragon King. ”

Linked to Jinpeng Castle's attitude towards Princess Shiguo's ambition, Gu Shenwei felt that Zhong Heng's guess had some truth.
