Chapter XXVII

One point, just one point, Gu Shenwei was able to take a perfect step on the road of revenge, he was fully prepared, but at the last moment, he stumbled and fell from the bright avenue into the bottomless gutter.

Someone in the courtyard recognized Xue Niang, knew that she was the person brought by the eighth young grandmother, pointed out to each other, and let out just the right amount of laughter together, big enough for people to hear, and so short that when Xue Niang turned around, she couldn't find her target.

Xue Niang's face flushed slightly, and she didn't ask a word, leaving the lotus girl, and quickly left with Huan Nu, returning to the courtyard of the Eight Young Masters.

Gu Shenwei was left in the front yard, Xue Niang rushed to see Miss, and after a while, Miss's angry reprimand faintly came from the backyard.

Several servants passed by, and they were very surprised to see the Huan slaves who had gone and returned, and they were all panicked when they heard the voice of the young lady, and they left in a hurry, not daring to ask what happened.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xue Niang walked out of the courtyard quickly, and when she passed by Gu Shenwei's side, she didn't look at it, as if he didn't exist.

Gu Shenwei stood alone in the empty courtyard, panicking, not only could he not enter the East Fort now, but also lost his use value, what would Xue Niang and Miss do to him? Directly hand it over to the Eighth Young Master? Or let it go, and let him go to a certain killer to take revenge?

If it was the former, he would have to find a way to kill the eighth young master Shangguan Nu, this was the limit of his revenge, Shangguan Nu was the one who killed his parents and brother with his own hands, and he was also the number one enemy in his mind.

An hour later, before Gu Shen could figure out a solution, Xue Niang came back, she couldn't guess her mind from her expression, she stared at the dazed Huan Nu for a while, as if she was making some kind of trade-off, and finally she said: "Go and pack your luggage, you will stay in the courtyard to work in the future." ”

This is a little better than the worst ending, Gu Shenwei bowed down, and found his way back to the Accumulation Courtyard, walking heavily, as if he was carrying a thousand catties of burden, but halfway through the road, he became optimistic again, although he failed to enter the East Fort as he wished, but stayed in the Eight Young Lord's Courtyard, which means that he will have the opportunity to contact Shangguan Nu in the future, and he will have the opportunity to take revenge.

When Gu Shenwei was learning martial arts with Xue Niang during the day, he had never met the owner of the courtyard, and Shangguan Nu seemed to go out early and return late, never at home.

There have been rumors in the salary yard for a long time, and they are about to turn into a pot of porridge, and when they saw Huan Nu coming back alone, the teenagers flocked to inquire about the news.

Gu Shen told the truth, and the faces of the teenagers also changed, but when they heard that he would stay in the Eighth Young Master's Courtyard to do things in the future, several people were still envious, no matter how hard and tiring the work was there, it was much better than waiting for the dead in the Accumulation Courtyard.

One of the five teenagers was missing, and after Gu Shenwei finished talking about his bad luck, the slave told him another bad thing: Xue Niang took the slave away, and it was said that she wanted to recommend him to Dongbao.

Xue Niang and Miss made a simple mistake, they are outsiders, they know a little about the killer system of Jinpeng Castle, they think that if they have good martial arts, they will be popular, and the object of Miss to listen to the news is her husband, which is also very problematic, Shangguan Nu is the son of King Dubu, he has been on the killer roster since birth, and he has never experienced selection, and he also knows about this kind of trivial matter.

As a result, Xue Niang worked hard to cultivate seedlings, but she never knew an important rule for recruiting apprentices in Dongbao: you can't practice any internal skills before entering Dongbao.

It is said that Jinpeng Fort has its own set of internal strength, which is incompatible with all the exercises in the martial arts.

No matter what the reason was, Gu Shen's harmony and cultivation for forgetting to sleep and eat became a stumbling block for him to enter the East Castle.

After Xue Niang knew the mistake, she immediately discussed the method with the young lady, and found the killer of the nursing home, asked all the rules, and found that there was still a chance to correct it.

It turns out that Dongbao training killers don't care about the apprentice's martial arts foundation, even if they can't do half a move, it doesn't matter, anyway, they have to start from scratch when they enter Dongbao.

In this way, Xue Niang came to the salary yard and re-selected among the five teenagers, so the inexplicable slave tasted the taste of pie falling from the sky, put down the work in his hand, and turned into a killer apprentice.

Before Gu Shenwei came back, the remaining four teenagers had already heard most of the information, and the news of Xue Niang's disgrace in Dongbao had already spread throughout the castle, even the remote salary yard had also arrived, but Gu Shenwei didn't know anything.

The isolation status and unpopularity of the eight young grandmothers in Jinpeng Fort can be seen from this.

Providence makes people more than this, Gu Shenwei is certainly difficult to accept, and the other four teenagers are also resentful, the smartest remote slave can accept it as a killer, and they can understand that Huan Nu, who knows martial arts, enters Dongbao, there is nothing special about sending slaves, there is no difference from them, and it is really unfair to choose such a big luck.

"If he can't get through it, he will have to be brought back for a month at most. "Ranu swears that although the killer apprentice has no requirements for the foundation of martial arts, according to the convention, it is always beneficial to know how to do kung fu.

There's nothing more to say, when the slave comes back, the teenagers, including the tired slave, will go to pat his ass.

Gu Shenwei went to see the manager of the new hospital again, saying that he came back to pick up his luggage, but he encountered a little trouble, which courtyard the slave stayed in to do things, it was not something that Xue Niang could decide with a casual word, especially the slaves in the salary yard were getting fewer and fewer, and it was difficult to find someone to replace them.

However, the problem was quickly solved, Xue Niang was meticulous in her work, and she had already made up the procedure, and officially wanted to leave Huan Nu in the name of the eighth young master.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, Gu Shenwei lived in a small stone house with a cover, close to the backyard of the Eighth Young Master's Mansion, and lived with him was Lao Zhang, a groom in his fifties, whose duty was to take care of the stable.

The male servants of Jinpeng Fort are all called "a certain slave", and Lao Zhang is no exception, but everyone calls him "Lao Zhang", in the sound of "slave", this most common title has a strong recognition.

Lao Zhang can be regarded as a model slave, loyal, hard-working, every day when he returns to the house and sleeps upside down, never more mouthful, Gu Shenwei lived in for a few days, and he didn't say more than ten words to him.

Gu Shenwei is very familiar with horses, but in the past, others took care of him, he only cared about whether his pony was well fed and whether his coat was bright, and now he was feeding the horses for his enemies.

He tried not to let himself think back to his previous life, for fear that he would not be able to control his emotions and reveal his secrets, there was a lot of danger here, he had to be careful and careful every step he took, Han Shiqi was dead, but no one could guarantee that there was no second person under the Eighth Young Master who knew the little young master of the Gu family.

There is also a slave who has entered the East Fort, he is out of the reach of Huan Nu, will he inadvertently say anything about Bai Juan?

Xue Niang is also a potential threat, Gu Shenwei understands why she wants to leave herself in the courtyard, it is nothing more than to monitor nearby, after all, she and the young lady have revealed too much information in front of Huan Nu.

That being said, Xue Niang rarely appeared, except for the routine greeting every morning, he basically didn't see her again.

Lao Zhang is a servant of Jinpeng Castle, there is no need to show loyalty to the young lady, Gu Shen guesses, this is the reason why he never chats with himself, they are two factions, each with its own master.

Gu Shenwei had already seen the contradictions between the owners of Jinpeng Castle, and had heard a lot about them, but he couldn't take advantage of them, his status was too low, his strength was too small, and he couldn't pry open a big mountain even if there were cracks.

The only thing he could do was to practice hard.

It's no secret that he knows how to do internal strength, everyone thinks that Xue Niang taught him, so there is no need to hide it, every day after taking care of more than ten strong horses of the eighth young master, he will find a place to practice, and he must practice at least once in Hehejin, Fuhu Fist, and Tieshan Knife Technique.

Lao Zhang watched coldly, did not oppose or support, he only held one "privilege", that is, to lead the horse to the gate of the front yard in the early morning to wait for the owner, and then go to the front yard on time in the evening to bring the horse back.

Gu Shenwei didn't have a chance to see Shangguan Nu at all, but he learned a lot about his living habits.

Every five to ten days, he will take more horses out of the house, and when he returns after three or five days, all the horses at this time have changed, dirty and thin, and sometimes there is one less.

Only at this time, the indifferent old Zhang will show a trace of emotion, no matter how late the horses are returned, he will call Huan Nu, bathe them with him, add feed, he will take turns to hold each overworked horse, murmuring, like a loving mother looking forward to her son's homecoming.

Gu Shenwei found himself trapped in the middle of the road again, unable to move forward, and there was no room to retreat, he followed an old man who loved horses more than his lover to spend time, but the enemy across the wall lived as usual and went to kill people as usual.

Fourteen-year-old Gu Shenwei had developed a patience that he had never had before, and he knew that he had to wait, he could only wait, he had to wait, because he had God's will.

Two months after becoming the groom's assistant, when a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground of Jinpeng Castle, Gu Shenwei finally waited for an opportunity.

That afternoon, he was holding a wooden stick to practice the Tieshan Knife Technique, which was taught to him by Xue Niang, in order to hide his identity, he could only forget the Gu Knife Technique that he was better at, but he did not practice it smoothly.

The Iron Mountain Knife Method is a set of knife techniques that pay great attention to the actual combat effect, the eighteen potentials are simple and easy to practice, but the combination moves are ever-changing, Gu Shenwei has no opponent, just like the shooter has no target, no matter how hard he practices, he will not be able to grasp the essentials.

He also always inadvertently inserted one or two family heirloom knife techniques, which he was too familiar with to forget.

Gu Shenwei was very engrossed, and after a long time, he suddenly found that someone was observing him from a dozen steps away, that person seemed to have been standing by the wall for a long time, and he didn't deliberately hide it, but for some reason, he didn't attract attention at all, this is the quality that a sharp killer should have.

Gu Shenwei froze suddenly, he had been looking forward to getting close to the enemy, but he didn't expect the enemy to take the initiative to approach him.

The person who came was Shangguan Nu.

Hatred and anger burned out in an instant like a flammable catkins, leaving behind a pile of hard seeds of fear.

The Eighth Young Master finally discovered his true identity? Gu Shenwei felt that his legs were trembling, this was not the meeting he expected, he was not ready yet.

Shangguan angrily stared at the slightly gloomy young man in front of him with complicated eyes, his heart moved slightly, and his only remaining left hand involuntarily grasped the hilt of the knife.
