Gu Shenwei led his troops to attack a hidden stronghold of the Jinpeng killers.

The clues he had at hand were not enough to find the specific whereabouts of Shangguan Jianyi, but this attack was essential, and he had to do something to boost the morale of the whole army.

One hundred swordsmen and fifty savage archers followed the dragon king into the city as guards, and when they were about to reach the gate of the city, they suddenly killed a horse pistol, and quickly surrounded a manor in the east of the city.

The manor belonged to the Shi royal family, which was abandoned during the siege and has not been restored, and the intelligence obtained by the spies of Daxue Mountain and Xu Xiaoyi shows that there are a group of killers and swordsmen of Jinpeng Castle hidden here, and the number is about more than ten people.

As the attack was well prepared, the whole process was clean and clean, like a casual hunt: the swordsmen set fire to the perimeter, leaving only a gap to force the enemy out of their hiding places, and the archers fired from a distance to kill the target who wanted to escape.

Gu Shenwei watched the whole process, he didn't interfere, and he didn't let any swordsmen rush in, in order to kill a few killers, it was not worth sacrificing any of his soldiers.

A total of eleven people were killed, judging by the weapons, there were three killers, and the others were hired swordsmen

Gu Shenwei led fifty guards into the city, leaving a hundred people, and after the fire was extinguished, he conducted a thorough search of the ruins of the manor, and did not let go of the fish caught in the net.

Lin Xiaoshan was not allowed to participate in the operation, and he remained in the barracks to protect the future queen of the Great Snow Mountain.

In the palace chamber, Gu Shenwei summoned the king and the princess at the same time.

The news of the dragon king's extermination of the killer's stronghold had already reached the palace first, so in the eyes of the two brothers and sisters, the dragon king who walked in with the handle of the knife in his hand was shrouded in murderous aura, and the surrounding area was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The princess was still able to force her composure, and the king was already trembling.

Imagination always brings more fear than reality, and Gu Shenwei knows that although there are pros and cons, so far, he has benefited more from it.

He nodded indifferently and sat down unceremoniously on the throne, in the main hall, the king had to sit on the throne no matter what, and in the council chamber, the dragon king was the master.

Gu Shenwei saw the princess's face clearly for the first time.

He could understand why Fang Wen was deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself, even if her heart was full of fear, the princess also had a noble temperament, which was the education she had received since she was a child in the small courtyard of Biyu City, and many years of closed life made her accustomed to it, but she didn't know it.

A woman who has seen the world a little, even if she is the daughter of the emperor, will not maintain this nobility all the time like her.

For Fang Wenshi, who has been struggling to survive for many years, the princess is tantamount to a fairy in the sky.

The king's education is almost the same as that of his sister, but the puppet life of walking on thin ice has long been worn away from the glitz of appearance, and he now only has the most real resentment and grievances, even when he is flattering, he can't hide it, "I heard that the Dragon King has killed a group of Jinpeng killers, congratulations." ”

"Well, I burned down one of your estates. ”

"If it is burned well, as long as it can get rid of that group of moths, it will be worth burning down the palace. ”

"I'll think about it, the palace is indeed a good place for killers to hide. ”

The king was shocked, the palace was his home, the only place where he could give orders, and if it was really burned, he would not even be a puppet, and regretted that he had said that strange sentence, "The palace is very clean, and there is no ......"

Gu Shenwei ignored the king and stared at the princess instead.

The weak princess didn't seem to be able to bear even a glance, and the horror in her eyes was about to overflow, but she didn't know if she was stunned, or if she was really braver than her brother, and she didn't even avoid the dragon king's gaze.

The princess may have been a man with whom to discuss business, but Gu Shenwei's impression of her was greatly changed, so he said to her, not to the king, "There is one thing I need your help with." ”

Tomorrow is the big wedding, the two meet at this time, it is not very etiquette, the princess does not care about this, but speaking directly to the dragon king, it still makes her feel very nervous, she can't open her mouth after several brews, her courage has been exhausted, and she must re-accumulate.

The king was afraid that the dragon king would really burn down the palace, so he interjected flatteringly: "The dragon king is so polite, the princess is your person, you can give orders to her, what do you say to help or not?"

Gu Shenwei was still waiting for the princess to answer.

The princess took a slow breath and said, "Please command the dragon king." ”

"I hope you can go out of the city to visit Jiang, she has lived with you, received your care, and misses you very much. ”

The princess didn't understand the government, but she understood the purpose of the dragon king's move.

The Dragon King married two queens at the same time, and the people of the Wandering Navy felt that the princess was humiliated, and if she showed her friendship for Jiang at this time, it could alleviate everyone's dissatisfaction with the Dragon King to a certain extent.

But this is indeed a humiliation, Jiang lives in the palace as a maid, and suddenly sits on an equal footing with the princess, and asks the princess to go out of the city to visit, which is incompatible with the concept she has formed since childhood.

The king has endured many humiliations worse than this, so he doesn't care, as long as the dragon king is happy, he doesn't burn the palace, and he can treat the princess as a slave girl, "No problem, the two queens will be sisters from now on, when will they go? Now? I will order someone to prepare the car." ”

Like a anxious follower, the king ran out of the council chamber to find someone, hoping that the dragon king would leave as soon as possible.

Only the dragon king and the princess remained.

Gu Shenwei looked at the girl who would become his wife, and a feeling arose in his heart, as if he was standing in front of him as a negotiator, holding some kind of item in his hand.

"You don't have to go to see Jiang. Gu Shenwei said that although this sentence was a bit hypocritical, he really would not force the princess to go out of the city.

"No, I'm going. Facing the dragon king alone, the princess calmed down a lot, "Tomorrow I will be your queen, I should think about you, now the situation is chaotic, even if it is just a small contribution, I am happy." ”

After Zhong Heng met the princess, he once told the dragon king that she would be a qualified queen, Gu Shenwei now understands what the prime minister means, although the princess still seems very jerky when she says these words, she will be familiar with it sooner or later, making her words more credible.

Gu Shenwei deliberately tested her, "I want you to know that you don't have to marry me. ”

The princess was stunned for a moment, and the last tremor in her voice disappeared, and she said softly, "Why did the dragon king say this?"

"The Dragon King is just a false name, I don't have royal blood, I don't have a palace, and I don't have a horde of slaves, the army of Jinpeng Fort will attack at any time, it may not be long before I have to flee everywhere, and I can't even guarantee your safety. I can postpone the wedding until the situation clears. ”

The princess's heart was very confused, she didn't know how to deal with the unexpected kindness shown by the dragon king, this was not at all like the murderous man she remembered, the urge to speak her true thoughts was extremely strong, but she had been trained to suppress her nature since she had been in the chaos, so she caught what she should have said in the chaos.

"The real king doesn't ask about his background, the royal family of the Western Regions, it is rare to be able to trace back to five generations, just in the past year, how many royal families have fallen in the sword? The Dragon King doesn't have to worry about me, if something happens, I will commit suicide to save my name, and I will never drag down the Dragon King." ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, Gu Shenwei witnessed the strange changes in the princess, and she went from a frightened girl to a mother of a country.

Gu Shenwei had the image of Mrs. Meng of Jinpeng Castle in his mind.

The king had already prepared his chariot and ran back to suggest that the dragon king and the princess could leave.

The guards who had remained outside the city to search the manor had also arrived, reporting that they had found a remnant of Jinpeng Castle and had been killed.

The princess drove out of the palace in a car, only taking two palace maids, Xu Yanwei was preparing for the wedding and did not follow.

Tomorrow is the big wedding, the princess was taken away by the dragon king at this time, the people in the city were surprised, and then found their own reason, "This is the custom of the Great Snow Mountain, you see that the woman named Jiang, as soon as the big wedding was announced, wasn't she taken into the barracks? ”

"Alas, the princess is so pitiful. ”

"Barbarians, that's all. ”

The barbarian barbarians did not stop there, Gu Shenwei led one hundred and fifty guards to escort the princess, did not leave the city directly, but went around in a circle, and by the way, wiped out another Jinpeng killer stronghold in the city.

Five more people died at the hands of the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, which can be regarded as rebalancing the wave of assassinations that have been going on for several days.

The princess sat in the car, and heard the sounds outside, and found that the murder was not as terrible as she had imagined, and that she could not hear the miserable screams and violent roars, and that it lasted for a short time, and it seemed that the car had just come to a stop, and the extermination operation was over.

The dragon king's revenge gave the princess and the people of the city a very strong impression, casual and relaxed, as if the lion and tiger were playing chicken and rabbit, and the previous forbearance was no longer helpless, but became confident.

In fact, Gu Shenwei cast a huge net to find these two strongholds, and he knew very well that there were no important people in the strongholds, and the hasty encirclement and suppression would only make the other killers hide deeper, and it would also provoke a strong backlash from Shangguan Jianyi.

That's exactly what he's for.

The arrival of the princess was completely unexpected by Jiang, she didn't know how to deal with this kind of scene, so she could only be at her mercy.

The appearance of the two future queens in the barracks at the same time made the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain and the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms happy, the former saw the women of his clan side by side with the princess, and the latter found that the princess of Shiguo was more like a queen after all.

That night, the princess stayed in the barracks, and the next morning, she would return to the palace with Jiang, and then officially receive the dragon king's "palace" at noon to hold a big wedding.

The so-called palace is the main tent in the barracks, which has been renovated from the inside out.

Tomorrow is the day of the Dragon King's great joy, and the defense in the barracks is several times stricter than usual, and the lights are bright all night, and almost half of the people participate in the patrol.

But this still can't stop the first-class Jinpeng killer.

Shangguan Jianyi was unwilling to be overwhelmed by the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon King, and launched a larger round of assassinations that night, mainly targeting the swordsmen and savage soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain, as well as two queens.

Swordsman Lin Xiaoshan finally has a chance to fulfill his promise.
