Chapter 106: Whispering

Jiachen's apprentices were so good that Jinpeng Castle was reluctant to let them fight each other in the monthly exam, so they carefully selected fifty teenagers from them to form the "Little Flag Battalion", which was located in three courtyards south of Wooden Knife Lane, and was managed by five experienced killer masters, Tie Hanfeng was one of them.

The boys in the small flag camp are no longer apprentices, but they are not official killers either, they are called "brown belt killers", they can wear black clothes embroidered with gold roc and a brown belt around their waists, and most importantly, start receiving a fixed pay, one hundred taels per month, and additional rewards when performing tasks.

They still need to be put to the test, and those who pass can officially claim the title of killer.

The selected teenagers were overjoyed, but the excitement quickly dissipated, as the Brown Belt Killers, their first few days were no more challenging, nothing more than running errands, delivering letters, standing guard and other trivial tasks, which were even more boring than when they were in the Fire Refining Academy.

The first major task of the small flag battalion was to serve as a perimeter guard at the cherry blossom viewing party.

Meng has a garden in Beicheng, called Bodhi Garden, in the pond in the garden is planted with the only four-color lotus flower within a thousand miles, green, blue, yellow, white at the same time, very famous.

This year's flowers are particularly good, Meng invited many relatives and friends to enjoy the flowers, Mrs. Meng in Jinpeng Fort rarely went back to her parents' house once, and the pomp was naturally not small, but she didn't like those murderous killers to accompany her, so she designated the fifty brown belt killers of the "Little Flag Battalion" to act as guards, in her opinion, the murderous aura of the child should always be weaker.

The mission was still not difficult, and the boys were even equipped with only wooden knives, the only advantage was that they could go into the city and possibly have the opportunity to see the rare lotus flowers.

The cherry blossom viewing will last for many days, and the few families in the city will all set up a feast, proud of the presence of the lady of Jinpeng Castle, and the teenagers, under the guidance of the killer master, will check the surrounding environment, stop idle people, etc., and when it is too peaceful, they will hide behind the trees and rocks, and be an invisible guard.

Gu Shenwei didn't see the four-colored lotus, and his duty was to carefully patrol the designated area until someone took turns and returned to the dark hut, where he sat with a group of taciturn teenagers who hated each other, and occasionally whispered to acquaintances.

The shadow of carnage has never completely disappeared, and the hatred provoked by Jinpeng Castle has taken root, and only sharper narrow knives can suppress it.

On the seventh day of the flower viewing party, Mrs. Meng returned to her mother's family and the daughters of the city's family in the famous Bodhi Garden, and she was about to return to the stone fort the next day.

Gu Shenwei not only couldn't see the flowers, but he couldn't even see people, he was in charge of guarding a rockery at the edge of the garden, and there were many other kinds of flowers blooming on the mountain, and he hid in it, beware of enemies who would never come.

This is Biyu North City, one of the safest places in the world.

But there was a small accident that day.

The two maidens escaped from the endless feast, sneaked out to hang out, walked to the rockery, and sat down on a stone bench to rest, less than a foot away from the young guards among the flowers.

Gu Shenwei had long known that Shangguan Ru, the tenth son, had followed his mother down the mountain to enjoy the flowers, but he didn't expect her to appear near him.

He was a Brown Belt killer, so he held his breath and did not disturb the interest of his masters, in fact, he should have secretly evacuated this place and patrolled a little farther away, but he stayed like a ghost, and participated in the disputes of his masters at an inopportune time, and set up enemies for himself.

Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi seemed to have drunk too much wine, laughed lightly, and didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the flowers behind them, they had been trained as killers for a longer time than all the apprentices in Dongbao, but they had never experienced death-or-life killing, so they didn't have that instinctive vigilance.

The voices of the two were soft and hazy, not at all like the Ten Princes and Yu Gongzi in Gu Shenwei's memory, they sounded no different from two ordinary intimate girls, and he was even a little curious whether they were still wearing men's clothes.

The two of them had no fixed topic, from the flowers and trees along the way, to the daily trivial things in the castle, where they thought of it, they slowly involved some privacy, and their voices became lower and lower, Gu Shenwei suddenly found himself in an embarrassment, and it was very inappropriate to continue listening, and it was even more difficult to explain the trouble once it was discovered.

"Young Master Yu, the kid surnamed Meng has been peeking at you. ”

"Hmph, I'm sitting next to you, and he's clearly looking at you. ”

The two girls let out a light laugh together, as if they were tickling each other, "I hate that kid, Boy Yu, you don't pay attention to him, okay?"

"I won't pay attention to him, he's so old, and he's as coquettish as a child in front of his grandmother, and it's disgusting to watch. ”

"Hehe, the old lady treats him as his lifeline, and even my mother has to coax him. ”

"He didn't fall into my hands, if he dared to smile at me, I ......"

"How are you?"

"I'll hit him with a scabbard and let the old lady rub him. ”

Shangguan Ru gasped with laughter, and said, "You don't dare, you don't dare." ”

"What don't you dare, there's nothing in this world that I don't dare to do. ”

Gu Shenwei couldn't help but snort in his heart, Shangguan Yu was bragging about it, when Mr. Guo blocked a group of "big thieves" in the house, he didn't see that she had the courage to say a word.

"Yo, you are so bold, how can you marry someone else's family in the future?"

"I don't marry. ”

"I heard that Aunt Seventh has asked a matchmaker to find you an in-law. ”

Gu Shenwei remembered that Shangguan Yu was one year older than him, and it would be a great thing if she got married.

"Don't listen to people's nonsense, I won't marry. Ru Gongzi, do you want me to marry?"

"Alas, I don't think it's useful, my mother said, girls have to get married when they grow up. ”

"No, I know that someone has never been married in his life, you say, as long as you say a word, I will always be by your side, if you get married, I will accompany you, if your husband dares to bully you, I will chase him to the ends of the earth, even my great-grandmother can't save him. ”

Shangguan Ru laughed even harder, "How old am I, you just say this?"

"It's very fast, I'm thirteen years old this year, and I'll be married in two years. ”

"Shhhh ”

Shangguan Yushi also smiled, very happy, "That's the best, I'll be your military advisor, help you command the killer, and help you become the king of Dubu." ”

The more the two "ambitious" girls chatted, the more they became more and more confused, and Shangguan Ru suddenly felt that something was missing, "It would be nice if there was wine, and only when you enjoy the wine and flowers will you be interested." ”

"Drink it again, your face is red. ”

"There's that sweet wine, not intoxicating at all. ”

"You wait, I'll fetch it. ”

"No, no, I'll say whatever I want, let's rest here. ”

Shangguan Yushi didn't know what to do, Shangguan Ru laughed quietly, didn't say anything to stop it, Shangguan Yushi walked down the mountain quickly, Shangguan Ru hummed a tune-out tune, her voice became lower and lower, and finally only the sound of slow and gentle breathing remained, and she fell asleep.

Gu Shenwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and decided that it was better to leave immediately, if he was discovered, not only would Yu Gongzi not be able to spare him, but Shangguan Ru would probably be annoyed and angry, so he slowly moved his steps and walked quietly down the mountain through the flowers.

He was a little disappointed in his heart, because he couldn't hear the word "Huan slave" in this private conversation, in fact, with Shangguan Yushi's efforts, Shangguan Ru must have forgotten all about the slave who played with her.

Before he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a group of teenagers walking towards the rockery, led by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old nobleman.

"They went this way, and I saw it. ”

"There, there, on the stone bench, one or two. ”

The rockery was very low, and the teenagers saw Shangguan Ru through the gap in the flowers.

"It's the tenth son, just look at the color of the clothes, she wears black, and that one wears blue. ”

"Yes, yes, the people in the stone castle love to wear black, and I heard that only those with high status are allowed to wear it. ”

The young men whispered nonsense, and the noble son said disdainfully, "What kind of young master, it's clearly a little girl, dare to laugh at me in front of so many people, watch me teach her a lesson." ”

"My lord, let's just talk about having fun, don't mess with her, the people in the stone castle don't blink an eye. ”

"Others are afraid of her, am I afraid of her? Go, coward, don't follow me again. ”

The "coward" retreated, and the other teenagers voted to the master's favor, but no one dared to follow up the mountain, and finally, a teenager came up with an idea, "Little ancestor, you don't have to do anything, go over and kiss her, we will all obey you, and let everyone see who is the real 'son'." ”

"My Father" and "Little Ancestor" moved his arms, put down a sentence of "Look", and walked towards the mountain.

Gu Shenwei quietly retreated to his original position, thinking that Yu Gongzi was about to come back, Shangguan Ru should wake up when he heard the footsteps, and he didn't need to intervene, that noble prince was obviously the young master of the Meng Mansion, and it was estimated that Shangguan Ru was still a relative like a cousin and sister, and he didn't need a brown belt killer to do a lot of things.

That's what he thinks, but that's not how things go.

Gui Gongzi has a bit of a martial arts foundation, let go of his steps, Shangguan Ru fell asleep after drinking, and he never woke up, and Shangguan was even more unhurried when it rained, and he always did not appear.

Gu Shenwei was holding the wooden knife, he had a hundred reasons not to care about this matter, a small joke between relatives would not be in danger of his life, if he showed up rashly, he would only cause trouble.

Enough trouble, he thought, but his footsteps moved involuntarily, walked out of the flowers, and stood behind Shangguan Ru, the wooden knife ready to go.

The noble boy on the opposite side stood in front of the stone bench, his body was already half bent, he suddenly felt a chill, raised his head, and saw the young man with a knife, his expression was as harsh as ice and snow, and no one would doubt the cold murderous aura.

The noble prince was afraid, this was his garden, he had no reason to be afraid, but he was still so frightened that he didn't dare to move, like a statue, his face became pale, beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, gathered into a drop, and fell to the ground.

Shangguan Ru opened his eyes and saw the distorted and frightened face, and was taken aback, picked up his arms, and hit him hard.

Meng Wugongzi rolled over and rolled down the mountain.
