Gu Shenwei knew that his actions would definitely be opposed by Zhong Heng and Fang Wen.

Sending intelligence officers to the Central Plains would have been a reasonable move, but the Dragon King's purpose was not hegemony, but revenge.

He promised his military advisor that he would pursue hegemony wholeheartedly, and so far, he has fulfilled his promise and can maintain a calm attitude in the face of the children of the Shangguan family, even if he is followed by the son of King Dubu, he has not killed the killer.

But in the deepest part of his heart, hatred is everywhere, and it is not something he can get rid of if he wants to.

Hatred is like a banyan tree, attached to Gu Shenwei from the seed stage, he used all his essence and blood to cultivate that little thing, and suddenly, the banyan tree has risen to the sky, with many drooping air roots, and is strangling the enthusiastic host.

Gu Shenwei didn't even resist, allowing himself to be swallowed up by hatred, because he felt a great power from it, something that he desperately needed since his family was destroyed.

And the practice of the "Book of the Dead" is to firmly combine him and hatred, perhaps only the lotus girl can understand Gu Shenwei's state.

Gu Shenwei never really gave up revenge, as he grew older, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange in the Gu family's annihilation, Jinpeng Fort must have been entrusted by others, the employer behind it was from the Central Plains, and the biggest suspect was Wei Song.

But there is one thing he can't figure out, Gu Wei's two families almost got married, even if Wei Song dislikes Gu's loss of power, he quits the marriage, why do you have to kill someone?

He wanted to know why.

Wei Song is in the Western Regions, Gu Shenwei is no longer as urgent as before, sooner or later, he will personally interrogate this enemy, but he still wants to start from the Central Plains to find out the truth about the conflict between Gu Wei and the two families.

So he needs to send someone to the Central Plains.

This person must be loyal and trustworthy enough, and most importantly, be able to endure the loneliness of being away from their homeland, and not reveal their true identity because of homesickness.

Gu Shenwei has been secretly observing, the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are all loyal, but they are simple-minded and have distinct personalities, they can't do such a thing as listening to intelligence, and others are even more unsuitable, the Xu sisters and brothers can't bear the loneliness, Zhong Heng and the others will only oppose the Dragon King's approach.

Lin Xiaoshan is a perfect candidate, he lives in Biyu City, he knows how to be sophisticated, and his loyalty to the Dragon King has been severely tested, the only question is whether he can willingly disappear in the Western Regions and never contact anyone he knows again, especially Lao Hong, a blacksmith who treats him like a father.

His love affair with Jiang solves this last puzzle.

Gu Shenwei asked Lin Xiaoshan which one he would save first if Lao Hong and Jiang were in danger at the same time, and Lin Xiaoshan chose Jiang because Jiang needed help more.

Gu Shenwei began to make plans from then on.

The first question is how to convince ginger.

Jiang likes Lin Xiaoshan, but the will of the clan has too much influence on her, refusing to marry the Dragon King and escaping marriage are unimaginable, Gu Shenwei can only coax her.

"I need you to disappear, this is important to me and the entire army, I think you also know that the people of the Five Kingdoms of the Loose Sea are wary of the Great Snow Mountain, and you are the focus of disputes, without you, there will be no disputes. ”

A large part of this is true, Jiang agreed, she was not stupid, she knew how great the dragon king's grace was to her, and she wanted her to disappear, without such a complicated plan, she knelt down and thanked her, hoping that she would one day repay the dragon king.

"Look at Lin Xiaoshan, this is the reward for me. ”

The second question is how to make the ginger disappear without a trace.

More than a year ago, when Gu Shenwei returned to Biyu City, he once met a group of opponents, once he was caught, he swallowed medicine and faked his death, the effect was good, but the lotus girl scoffed at that medicine, claiming that Xiaoyuetang had a better alternative.

This time, before the Lotus Girl went to Biyu City to gather her fellow disciples, she left behind a large number of pills, including this substitute.

Jiang swallowed the medicine in the middle of the night according to the Dragon King's instructions, and quietly "died", real blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, as if he had been killed by someone with a heavy hand.

The danger remains.

No one knew how surprised the assassin who went to assassinate Jiang was at the time, the person he wanted to kill was already dead, he must have carefully checked it at the time, and maybe even made up for it, in that case, Jiang would really die.

The assassin was in a hurry to escape, and did not attack again, and when he died at the hands of the dragon king, no one knew that Jiang had actually been "dead" for more than an hour.

For Lin Xiaoshan, Gu Shenwei didn't reveal a word, first, he was worried that he would show his feet, and second, he was afraid that Jiang was really dead, which would anger the young swordsman.

Xiaoyuetang's secret medicine really lived up to its reputation, Jiang faked her death for three days, and even the slave girl who changed into a mortuary dress for her did not find any flaws.

When she was put into the coffin, Gu Shen used another corpse to steal beams and change pillars at night, and Jiang, who woke up, changed into men's clothes and followed the dragon king as a savage's own soldier.

This is the stage where it is easiest to leak stuffing, Jiang has completed the task well, she is a girl in the Snow Mountain, there are not so many women in her body, and she actually looks like a man.

The point is that no one has ever suspected Jiang's murder, and naturally no one will look for clues everywhere.

Only Zhong Heng saw a flaw, he thought that the Dragon King intended to attract assassination, but he did not suspect that Jiang was faking his death.

Lin Xiaoshan was like a world away, although the person in front of him was wearing a military uniform, his complexion was dark, and he still had a sparse beard, but his familiar eyes had not changed, as long as he paid a little attention, he could feel the breath of ginger.

He thought that he was so stupid, he had seen this personal soldier all these days, and he didn't even have the slightest suspicion.

He thought that he was so lucky that he could see Jiang again in this life, and all this was given by the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei didn't give the two of them a chance to talk to each other, so he immediately set off and led a team of men and horses to the life-saving spring in the desert, where a team of soldiers was building an earthen watchtower.

The dragon king was very satisfied after inspecting it.

Lin Xiaoshan and Jiang did not stop, and continued to move forward in the name of scouts, taking the same road as Fang Wen, only one day's journey before and after, and also going to Beiting, where they turned east, bypassing Biyu City, and heading to Loulan, the country closest to the Central Plains.

In Loulan, they will buy Guan Wen to enter the Central Plains, and continue to move forward under a pseudonym until the capital of the Central Plains, where they will carry out the task assigned by the Dragon King: to collect all the rumors related to the Gu Wei family.

But they didn't have to send the information back to the Western Regions, and Gu Shenwei believed that he would return to the Central Plains sooner or later.

Both of them were very grateful to the Dragon King, and it was almost a bad thing to be too outwardly exposed, if they met someone like Zhong Heng, they would be recognized immediately, so after ordering the two to leave, Gu Shenwei breathed a sigh of relief.

In Lin Xiaoshan and Jiang's minds, the Dragon King did a great good thing, but Gu Shenwei did not have this feeling, he was no longer accustomed to judging one thing by good and bad, good and evil, after seeing countless conspiracies and betrayals, he firmly believed that good and bad, good and evil, right and wrong are all illusory, the only real thing in the world is survival, from survival to extend interests, from interests to deduce the various states of life.

Seeing off Lin Xiaoshan and Jiang, Gu Shenwei stayed overnight at the Life-saving Spring and returned to Huiguo the next day.

The situation in Huiguo has stabilized, the bandits have either been killed or surrendered, the new border city has begun to take shape, and the guards have begun to carry out routine patrols.

News came from the east that everything was peaceful in Shiguo, and there had been several assassinations, but the scale was not large, and the impact was not widespread, and Shangguan Jianyi seemed to have given up his personal command and fled back to his own camp before winter.

Gu Shenwei was relieved to stay in Huiguo for a while to supervise the construction of the city.

However, there are too few people, and the prototype of the new city is still far from completion, and at the current rate, there is no possibility of building it before winter comes.

Gu Shenwei sent an order to King Hui, asking him to provide more labor.

It was this incident that caused the contradictions between the two sides.

King Hui sent an envoy to pay his respects to the dragon king, and then began to complain, from the drought in the spring to the worthless harvest in the autumn, implying that there was a serious shortage of labor in the country, because the men in the prime of life were all conscripted by the dragon king to serve as soldiers.

The envoy's tone was extremely sincere, and at the end he almost begged the dragon king for mercy.

If there is no experience in Anguo, Gu Shenwei may be deceived.

Anguo once provided soldiers to Jinpeng Fort, and also claimed to be requisitioned from all over the country, but Gu Shenwei and the Dutch girl found a large number of middle-aged men in the capital of Anguo.

Faced with a reluctant war, everyone from the king to the farmer is trying to evade responsibility.

Gu Shenwei had already sent people to do an investigation before, and found that there were indeed not many people in the villages and towns in Huiguo, ten rooms and nine empty, in the past, because of the invasion of bandits, everyone hid in the capital, but after the bandits escaped, not many people left the city and went home.

This saves you the hassle of looking for people everywhere.

The only problem was that Gu Shenwei's soldiers were too small, and two detachments of 500 people were on their way to suppress the bandits, and the remaining 1,000 people were already overstretched to participate in the construction of the new city and the task of patrolling the border, and they really couldn't spare manpower to threaten a strong capital.

Gu Shen bluffed once, pretending to gather all the people and horses, and wanted to enter the city to negotiate directly with King Hui.

This trick worked, the speed was beyond Gu Shenwei's imagination, and the day after the threat, King Hui sent people to send 500 laborers, and pleaded guilty to the dragon king, saying that he would send more people every day in the future.

The progress of the construction of the city was immediately accelerated.

When it was almost finished, the hundred captains who defended the city asked the dragon king to name the new city.

Since the city was built with local mud and wicker, Gu Shen decided on the name "Liucheng".

When the two detachments responsible for suppressing bandits came back, it was already early winter, and Gu Shenwei had nearly 2,000 soldiers in his hands, so he decided to march to the capital of Huiguo, this time it was not a threat, and he did not plan to inform him in advance.

He did not forget the experience of the monarch of Huiguo refusing to send reinforcements into the city.

Gu Shenwei is not a person who will repay him, but he must teach the rulers of Huiguo a lesson, let them understand the current fact - the dragon king is the master of the free sea, and the kings of the five kingdoms can keep the crown on their heads, but if they want to rely on the dragon army to fight against Jinpeng Castle, they must pay the corresponding price.

Moreover, his suspicious personality is also a warning that there may be secrets hidden in the capital of Huiguo that he does not want to know.
