Chapter 65: Housework
Shangguan Nu's left hand narrow knife pointed diagonally at the ground, waved the iron hook of his right arm, stabbed Xue Niang's head, and then raised it high to admire it carefully.
Xue Niang's originally yellow face was as stiff and false as the nearby stone man because of excessive blood loss and the reflection of the moonlight.
The headless corpse in the air slammed to the ground, and the blue-faced assassin vanished into thin air, as swift and mysterious as when it suddenly appeared.
Gu Shenwei beat a few spirits in a row, and the pores all over his body were blooming as much as he could, and bursts of cold and hot breath were emitting layer by layer, as if something that had been living in his body for a long time was running away frantically.
His mind had never been clearer and calmer than it was now.
The wooden knife and the stone man are basically the traps set by Jinpeng Fort for the Great Wilderness Gate, and Shangguan Nu judged the origin of Xue Niang from this.
Next, what will the Eighth Young Master do to this informant minion? Gu Shenwei stood up, wiped the blood and filth from the corners of his mouth, and waited silently.
Although the burning sensation dissipated, the dantian was still tossing like a river and a sea, but he had no time to take care of it.
Shangguan angrily put the knife into the sheath, pulled Xue Niang's hair with his left hand, pulled the head off the iron hook, and then said to the young man hiding in the corner, "Throw it down." ”
Gu Shenwei didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, but soon realized that "it" refers to a headless corpse, and "down" refers to the cliff at the end of the alley.
This was his job in the Salary Yard when he first entered Jinpeng Castle, and Gu Shenwei grabbed one of the corpse's feet and dragged it deeper into the alley, completely ignoring the blood stains on the ground.
At the end of the two rows of stone figures was a pile of rocks, and behind the rocks was indeed a cliff, Gu Shenwei threw down the corpse, and suddenly felt extremely relaxed all over his body, and the fear entangled in his heart disappeared, and the eighth young master became an ordinary person, an ordinary killer, and an ordinary son of a Dubu King in his eyes.
Shangguan Nu had been following the boy a few steps away, pressing the hilt of the knife with his left hand, surprised by the great change in Huan Nu, not long ago this slave was still vomiting because of the death of Xue Niang, but at this time he was calm, as if what he threw off the cliff was just a broken thing that had nothing to do with life.
Only those who are fearless of death are qualified to become real killers, Shangguan Fu's hand holding the knife relaxed slightly.
Over the past year, Gu Shenwei had seen a lot of killing and death, but his fear had never been eliminated from the bottom of his heart, until this night, when the blue-faced assassin's clean and sharp knife pushed his fear to the extreme, and then, the fear disappeared.
At the Boulder Cliff, the black-clothed man under the Dubu King had also killed the Roc Bird with a similar trick, but he did not feel the same way, and he was completely immersed in grief at that time, ignoring his own life and death.
Shangguan looked at Huan Nu on the edge of the cliff, he only needed a simple knife to kill this minion, and even avoided the trouble of throwing the corpse, which was really a temptation.
"Let's go. ”
Shangguan turned around angrily, carried Xue Niang's head, and walked out of the alley.
Gu Shenwei followed closely behind him, and with every step he took, he felt that the killing power of the eight young masters in front of him was gradually disappearing, and before he walked out of the "knife handle" part of the alley, Shangguan Nu had returned to a state of not attracting attention, and only the head in his hand showed his identity as a killer.
There was a black-clothed and red-belted killer guarding the entrance of the alley, and when he saw Shangguan Nu, he immediately knelt down on one leg and held a mahogany box in both hands.
Shangguan Nu put Xue Niang's head into it, took out a towel, carefully wiped the iron hook of his right hand, and then wiped his left hand with skillful movements.
Shangguan angrily turned around and glanced at Huan Nu, who immediately understood what he should do, stepped forward to take the mahogany box from the killer, held it, and continued to move forward with his master, while the black-clothed killer quietly retreated.
The two returned to the main courtyard of the Eight Young Masters, Shangguan Nu seemed to have a plan, with a detailed plan, after entering the courtyard, he went straight to the small hall in the backyard, and there was also a killer guarding outside the hall, and when he saw the master, he immediately bowed down and left the courtyard.
The lights were on in the small hall, and it was obvious that someone was waiting for the return of the Eighth Young Master.
Shangguan angrily pushed the door in, and Gu Shenwei hesitated for a moment and followed in.
There is a translucent screen inside, the figures of the eight young grandmothers and the cui girl are faintly visible, and the four girls are standing around the screen, all of them looking panicked, as if a catastrophe is coming.
There was also a person kneeling on the ground, and the lotus girl was holding her hands on the ground, and no one could see her expression.
Gu Shenwei immediately knelt beside the lotus girl, and understood that Shangguan Nu was going to rectify the housework.
From the moment he rode into the Iron Mountain bandit camp and saw thousands of rabble, Shangguan Nu was very disappointed in this marriage, and the performance of the daughter of the big head god after entering the door proved that his initial judgment was extremely accurate.
Look at the people she brought, they were all bought freshly, and they didn't even ask where they came from, but the two boys plotted against a killer and made themselves a laughing stock.
Looking at her behavior again, she knew that her husband and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Meng, were of the same faction, but she was still willful and reckless, offending almost everyone in the castle, making her husband more and more weak.
In the end, her personal nurse turned out to be a spy sent by the enemies of Jinpeng Castle, which almost made him lose face with his father.
This is a broom star, a broom star with a good skin, Shangguan is angry and bitter in his heart, he never thought of being the only man who can see her face.
"Husband......
The young lady screamed tremblingly behind the screen, no matter how arrogant she usually was, she had already felt that the atmosphere was wrong, it was very different from usual, especially the snow lady was nowhere to be seen.
"Get out. ”
Shangguan angrily ordered coldly, the four maids on the left and right of the screen lowered their heads, did not dare to breathe, and left in a hurry, and the blind and tongueless Cui Nu only paused for a while, and also walked out of the room around the screen, because she was too flustered, she almost hit the door frame.
The maids are gone, and the daughter of the big-headed god feels lonely, "Husband, what happened?"
"Show her. ”
Shangguan's angry voice was almost unable to hide the resentment in his heart.
Gu Shenwei kneeled to the edge of the screen, held up the mahogany box, lowered his head as much as possible, and never looked at the young lady.
The room was silent for a long time, so long that it was oppressive, and at last the young lady spoke, her tone so calm that there was even a hint of mockery, "Finally get rid of her, husband, is this a gift for me?"
Luo Ningcha's reaction was unexpected, and Gu Shenwei was even more surprised, he felt for the first time that Miss might not be as stupid as he thought.
"Don't you want to know why I killed her?"
"She is the slave of the concubine, that is, the slave of the husband, and the master kills the slave without a reason. ”
"Hey, what a good wife, Xue Niang is an enemy of Jinpeng Castle, and she sneaked into the castle under a pseudonym to steal something, but unfortunately the two helpers selected were unsuccessful, and betrayed her on the same day. ”
Gu Shenwei suddenly realized, and before he died, he said a sentence, "Xue Niang will kill the three of us." At that time, he guessed that this third person would not be the Cui Nu who passed the message, but the lotus girl seemed to be loyal to Xue Niang, how could she also tell the truth? Did she also have the finger power to go mad? The key is whether she also leaked this matter to the Eighth Young Master?
Gu Shenwei became uneasy again, but what the young lady said next made him even more uneasy.
"Xue Niang said that she was the nurse of the concubine, in fact, she never raised me, she only entered the Iron Mountain a few years ago, she dared to deceive my father, husband, thanks to your discernment, the concubine will write to her father to inform her of this, and he will thank you. ”
"The people who have been around for a few years don't know the details, which of these minions you brought is credible?"
"Husband, stop your anger, these minions are all for you and me to cause trouble, and it's superfluous to keep them, kill them all. ”
The daughter of the big-headed god has never spoken so smoothly, and when she first entered the fort, she was angry for a long time in order to change the name of Yahuan Xiaoru, but now she easily suggested killing all the minions.
This suggestion is too vicious, even Shangguan Fu frowned, it is inevitable that a snow lady will die, if you kill more than a dozen minions, I am afraid that even Biyu City under the mountain will be known to everyone.
"You don't have to worry about this, from now on, your father is not allowed to send anyone else, and it is best for those thieves and liars to stay in the bandit camp. ”
"Yes, the concubine obeys. ”
Miss's low-level performance was really unprecedented, Gu Shenwei once wondered if it was Luo Ningcha herself behind the screen, and then heard her crying in a low voice, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
The humility of his wife made Shangguan Fu's indignation alleviate a lot, no matter how she is also the daughter of the big-headed god, even King Dubu can't punish her casually.
"Someone. ”
With Shangguan Nu's call, a black-clothed killer who didn't know where to hide pushed the door in.
"Lock up these two minions and listen to Hou Fa's fate. ”
Gu Shenwei took a few steps back, put down the mahogany box, and then got up and exited the room with the lotus girl, the two had not yet fully gained the trust of the eight young masters, and he was still thinking about how to deal with the two informants.
The black-clad killer strictly followed his master's orders and locked the boy and girl in the same room in the front yard.
The room was small, and even if the two of them were in a corner, they were only a few steps apart.
It was already half past night, the killer locked the door and went to rest, and the castle was guarded at various levels, and the two minions did not dare to escape.
Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl did not lie down to sleep, nor did they talk to each other.
Gu Shenwei was entangled in the questions of the group, and before he could figure it out, another one popped up, just when he was wondering why Xue Niang's last kick didn't kick him to death, the scorching qi in Xuanji's acupoint got out of control again, rushing out and rushing towards the dantian.
It really can't be a coincidence, Xue Niang once predicted that he would frequently go mad and die, and he would definitely die within three years, more than two months ago, Gu Shenwei had experienced it once in the boulder cliff, and today, he had to experience it for the second time.
However, compared to the powerful finger power that Xue Niang input a few hours ago, this time it can be regarded as a gentle drizzle, and Gu Shenwei was able to endure it without falling, but a layer of fine sweat quickly oozed from his forehead.
He thought about the words in the nameless sword book, and turned the scorching qi into his own internal force, which was perhaps the most painful cultivation method in the world, but there was no other way, and the suppressed harmony energy could no longer be strengthened.
When the sky was faint, the feeling of going mad gradually left, Gu Shenwei breathed a sigh of relief, and found that his harmony strength had risen to the third layer of yin energy, he had been unable to practice hard, but he relied on the traps planted by the enemy to achieve his goal, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The lotus girl, who hadn't looked at Huan Nu all night, suddenly turned her head and said, "You're also enchanted?"
"Well, it's the second time. ”
"I went through it for the first time a month ago. ”
was planted by Xue Niang, and the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.
"I think Mademoiselle will kill both of us. ”
The lotus girl came up with such a sentence for no reason, and Gu Shenwei's heart was shocked, because he also had the same idea.
