The candlelight in the room was dim, although it was the height of summer, the windows were blocked with cotton quilts, thick cotton curtains were hung at the door, and the four huge copper stoves were burned red in different corners.

The killer knelt on one leg and bowed his head in salute, hiding a dagger in the inner thigh, capable of fighting to the death when he was forced to.

"Killer Yang Huan pays a visit to the king. ”

Dressed in a wide white robe, the Dubu King stood ten paces away from the killer and let out a heavy wheezing sound, like a lion who had just finished chasing his prey.

The wheezing sound lasted for a while, and Dubu Wang spoke, his voice was weak, which made him lose most of his former majesty, but he was a little more indifferent and tired, "What does the blood of the Shangguan family taste like? The son of the Dubu King began to fall, and you, the first to do it, spoke. ”

Gu Shenwei came with a fearless heart of death, but suddenly he felt a chill rush from his back to the top of his head, and the air in the room was so hot that the air froze, but he couldn't help but shiver.

"I ......" The fire whirred, Dubu Wang's gasp seemed to spray directly on the killer's face, Gu Shenwei was suddenly relieved, his tone became calm, and the coldness burst out from the top of his head, and he never came back, "I didn't taste anything." ”

Shangguan Fa took a step back, he felt that he was old, and he couldn't shake a young killer, the fiery killing intent and the whole world became strange, everything seemed to never belong to him, just an illusory memory that others forced into his mind, "Look up." ”

Gu Shenwei raised his head and looked at King Dubu, not thinking that this was his enemy, nor thinking of him as the lord of Jinpeng Castle, he saw a lonely old man, huddled in a body that no longer obeyed his command, trying in vain to drive it to be as strong and agile as before.

Revenge, the fervent cry sounded in the deepest part of the heart, like a group of people shouting upwards at the bottom of a cliff.

"Not like, not like. You killed the Peng Immortals?"

Shangguan Fa changed the topic, Gu Shenwei was stunned for a moment, and the eager thought was suppressed by him, "Yes." ”

"What kind of weapon?"

"Sword. ”

"How many moves?"

"One move. ”

"You're lying. ”

"Peng Xianren's martial arts are not as good as before, I just picked a cheap one. ”

Shangguan Fan didn't speak again for a long time, as if he had believed the killer's statement, or he was no longer interested in the conversation, and then he walked up to the killer with heavy steps, stretched out a finger and pressed it on his forehead, although the force was not large, but it was as hard as iron, which reminded Gu Shenwei of Xue Niang.

The killer's heart is pounding, he has seen the martial arts of the Dubu King, just a little fur makes people feel unfathomable, but he can't feel the pressure of a mountain in this old man's body, before and after is like two completely different people, one is killing and killing, and the other is waiting to be killed.

Dubu Wang is sick, every sign is proof, the desire burns in the killer's heart again, the strength is concentrated on the tip of his right finger, as long as he turns his eyes, he can tear his pants, grab the dagger, and stab into the old man's lower abdomen, no need for superb swordsmanship, no need for a murderous aura, all he wants is guts.

Shangguan Fa didn't find the murderous aura in the killer, what he saw was a pair of fearless eyes, honest and transparent, which he had only seen decades ago when he was desperate for friendship among all beings.

A kid actually wanted to be on an equal footing with Dubu Wang, Shangguan Fan's tired heart was stimulated, and he finally cheered up, his body was erect, much taller, and seemed to fill the whole room.

"You learned to kill, but you didn't learn to use a knife. ”

This is a judgment, probably a code, Gu Shenwei didn't understand the meaning, he didn't care, his fingers moved slightly, and he saw two stiff masks appear from the shadows.

Everything is over, Gu Shenwei thought, his attention was all on Shangguan Fan, and he didn't find the enemy close at hand, he was also green-faced, and his martial arts were both high and low, and the people around the Dubu King were the strongest assassins.

The person outside the door spoke softly, breaking the silence and murderous intent inside, "Father, I'm coming to see you." ”

Shangguan Fa took a deep breath, as if the outer body had just returned to his body, "Is it Ru'er? I'm hot here, don't come in." ”

The green face that had just been revealed disappeared again.

"Yes, father, how are you doing?"

"It's going to be good soon, you don't have to worry. ”

"Oh, I'll kowtow to you outside. ”

"Good. ”

"Father, do you need me to do anything for you?"

"No, I don't. ”

Shangguan Ru outside the house was silent for a while, "Father, is one of my killers here with you? Did he make a mistake? Let me punish him." ”

"No, I'm just asking a few words and taking him away. ”

Dubu King's inexplicable summons ended like this, Gu Shenwei bowed down and exited the room, the wind of the summer night blowing on his face, so cool that he felt like he was reborn.

Shangguan Ru was wearing a full set of black clothes of a killer, covering her face, and in the eyes of those who didn't know, she was no different from an ordinary female killer, and the Dutch girl was not around, and she didn't know where she went.

The two walked out of the courtyard and arrived at a secluded place, Shangguan Ru whispered: "In the future, you don't leave me in the stone castle, and no one will look for you." ”

"Yes, Tenth Prince. Gu Shenwei didn't ask, both of them knew that King Dubu had murderous intentions, and what puzzled him was why he didn't die, just a few words from the tenth prince didn't seem to change the mind of the king, and Shangguan Fan's mind was really hard to guess.

Shangguan Ru led the way silently, and when someone checked it, she showed a waist card and never spoke, and soon, Gu Shenwei found that the two of them were not walking out of the inner house, he still didn't ask, just followed.

The two of them walked further and further away, until they came to what looked like a deserted garden, where a dozen huge torches stood in different places in an irregular manner, and here they were close to the edge of the top, and the towering walls could be seen.

Four killers emerged from the shadows, Shangguan Ru had already prepared, took out another waist card, and one of the killers stepped forward to take a look by the firelight, turned around and nodded at his companions.

The four of them bent down, grabbed two iron chains from the bare ground, and pulled together an iron gate that was integrated with the surrounding environment.

This night became more and more weird, as if a special moment had arrived, and the people of the Shangguan family had become strange and unexplained.

Shangguan Ru took the lead, Gu Shenwei followed, and the two walked into the deep underground step by step.

At the end of the stairs was a long corridor, with only a faint light at the innermost, and Shangguan Ru seemed a little timid, standing in place and waiting for a while before walking towards the light.

This is a dungeon, there is only one cell, there is a small torch inserted in the wall outside, illuminating a small area, the eagle-nosed jailer looks vigilant, takes the waist card from Shangguan Ru's hand, looks at it carefully for a long time, and then takes out the key to open the cell door.

As soon as the two visitors entered, the cell door was locked from the outside, and "knock on the door when you want to come out, and make a little effort." The jailer threw down the sentence and left, apparently not wanting to hear what was being said.

The cell is directly carved out of the stone wall, more than a dozen steps square, not big, and there are no facilities, only a stone bed, a night pot and a toilet, but it is very clean and tidy, and there is no unpleasant smell.

A small window opened one man high in the wall, and several wrist-thick iron bars were erected, and the night wind and moonlight crept in, and the prisoner was so enchanted that he barely noticed the visitors behind him.

"Third brother. Shangguan Ru shouted in a low voice.

The prisoner turned around, Gu Shenwei was slightly startled in his heart, among the children of the Dubu King he had seen, this third young master Shangguan Yun was the most like his father, with a slender face and sunken eye sockets, almost a copy of Shangguan Fan's younger age, the two people who were so similar had completely different expressions, the corners of Shangguan Yun's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a mischievous smile, like an older child in his thirties.

That smile didn't seem like it had just been revealed to welcome the guests, Shangguan Yun seemed to be very satisfied with everything around him, and the moonlight made him even more fascinated, in Jinpeng Castle, in the entire Biyu City, Gu Shenwei had never seen a similar expression, his feeling was not wrong, the people of the Shangguan family were not normal at this night, especially when they had just escaped from the killing machine of the Dubu King, this smile became more and more unreal.

"For example, sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've grown a lot taller, and I love to wear boys' clothes so much, what about Yu Gongzi? I didn't come with you? Who is this person? New friends?"

Shangguan Yun threw out a series of questions, but Shangguan Ru didn't answer, she pulled off her mask and sat on the stone bed, "Third brother, I am sick, and my mother asked me to ask you for help." ”

Gu Shenwei guessed that Mrs. Meng would never let her daughter make such a straightforward request, but Shangguan Ru didn't like to beat around the bend.

Shangguan Yun took a step forward, made a loud noise, and moved the chain on his ankle, "But I won't see a doctor." The voice was gentle, as if my sister was just a little girl of seven or eight years old.

"The people of Xiaoyuetang pointed at me, and my mother said that only the family heirloom book could save me. ”

Gu Shenwei's heart moved, and he understood one thing, as soon as Mrs. Meng heard that her daughter was "evil", she immediately asked Shangguan Ru to return to the fort, because she knew the seriousness of the disease, and knew how to cure it, the "family heirloom book" was probably the "Book of No Dao" that Xiaoyuetang and the Great Wilderness Gate wanted to steal at any cost.

He didn't expect that he and Shangguan Ru needed the same "antidote", which made him feel relieved, with the assistance of the tenth son, it should be much easier to steal books.

Shangguan Yun's smile did not change, but he shook his head firmly, "No, Madam is mistaken, that book can't save you, it will only harm you, never learn it." ”

Shangguan Ru let out a sigh of relief, "I guess it's the same, anyway, you won't be able to die for a while and a half, so there's no need to worry." ”

She wasn't in a hurry, but Gu Shenwei on the side was a little anxious, "The tenth prince has gone mad twice, I'm afraid I can't wait." ”

Shangguan Yun looked at the killer, not annoyed by the other party's rudeness, and patiently explained: "Wudao Divine Skill is an ominous technique, and those who practice it will lose all their strength every once in a while, and their bodies are as fragile as a baby, and their lives cannot be guaranteed. ”

Gu Shenwei chuckled in his heart and understood what kind of illness King Dubu had.
