Chapter 675: Officer
When Gu Shenwei arrived, he only saw five corpses.
Han Wuxian was like a low-flying falcon, rising and falling on the grass, the first time the Jinpeng Killer and the Dragon King Killer cooperated, it was extremely coordinated, no need to arrange, no need to order, immediately dismount and disperse into a fan, or pursue, or intercept, each performing its own duties, like a group of loyal hounds searching for hidden birds.
There was a corpse wearing a hood, Shangguan Fei broke a thick straw stick, and opened the brim, "At first glance, it is the nobles of the North Court." ”
Gu Shenwei sighed, "He is the captain of the close army." ”
Shangguan Fei was startled and threw away the straw stick, "What are the captains doing here? Aren't the close servants and the Saint King about to go to war?"
Gu Shenwei didn't understand either, King Yao's contest to take the head was a very simple trap, and the captain should not be fooled, let alone take only four guards to the danger.
"The Holy King is happy this time. "Shangguan Fei has never met the Grand Duwei, but he knows this person's important surname very well," the next round of melee in the Dragon Court is about to begin. ”
Gu Shenwei guessed that Xiaoyue Hall would do everything possible to assassinate the Grand Captain, but when the day before yesterday at the party, the Grand Lieutenant seemed confident about his safety, and seemed to have a way to prevent the female killer, but he didn't expect to be so careless.
"Ahem. A corpse made a sound, Shangguan Fei was startled again, jumped back three steps, pulled out the narrow knife, and immediately thought that his fist was more powerful now, so he threw the knife and made a posture of fighting.
The injured man seemed unable to stand up, and with a cough, his mouth was full of blood foam.
Gu Shenwei walked up to the injured and knelt down on one leg to check the injured person's condition.
"Be careful, Dragonlord. Shangguan Fei reminded that he would rather stay away from the people killed by Xiaoyuetang.
This person was traumatized, under the mouth of the heart, there were five small holes, and the blood stains were red, and the assassin left in such a hurry in order to avoid Han Wuxian, leaving a living body.
But he didn't have long to live.
The injured man looked at the dragon king, as if he recognized him, Gu Shenwei remembered that on the day of the gathering of the kings, this person was the only guard of the Grand Captain, and he made a small move, and he was a master.
In front of Xiaoyuetang's drug, the master probably didn't have a chance to make a move.
He spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, and finally decided to trust the dragon king, "Yes...... There is an internal annihilation...... Tell...... Tell ......"
Tell whom, he couldn't tell.
The killers returned, carrying back the eight corpses, and Han Wuxian returned to the rattan chair that Nie Zeng was carrying, humming a tune in a low voice.
The five Jinpeng killers were more serious, put down the corpse and retreated to the side, but the six Dragon King killers, including Nie Zeng, couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, before that, their only official action was to rescue Han Wuxian, and the planning was more about Hu Shining's ability.
The five teenage killers knelt down, Nie Zeng hesitated slightly, and knelt down as well, Han Wuxian could only cross her legs on the chair, she couldn't get off the ground, the light skills shown just now mainly relied on the support of her hands, and she couldn't use it all the time.
Gu Shenwei understood the expectations of the teenagers and felt that they were worthy of this honor, so he took out a dagger, gently cut the palm of his left hand, and smeared the blood on the foreheads of the six teenagers in turn, and then stained the corpse with his right hand with blood, and smeared the forehead of the teenager again to cover his own blood.
The six teenagers learned about the process from the teacher and knew what they had to do, so they pulled out their narrow knives and stuck them in the ground, holding the handle of the knife with their left hand, and slashing their right hand across the blade and smearing a third layer of blood on their foreheads.
The master, the enemy, and himself, the blood oath composed of three layers of blood stains was completed, although it was still much simplified compared to the most primitive ritual, it still had a mysterious solemnity, and even Han Wuxian turned around and watched curiously.
Shangguan Fei felt his heart tremble, he was not an impulsive person, if someone talked about this kind of ceremony, he would disdainfully call it "flashy", but at this moment, he felt that this was the real allegiance, and even wanted to kneel down and accept the blood oath with the teenagers.
But he wasn't a killer, he held his knees.
The five Jinpeng killers witnessed all this, their faces expressionless, and no one knew what effect this scene would have on them.
Gu Shenwei checked the bodies of the eight assassins, only two of them were definitely disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, and they looked familiar, and the others were all male surnames.
Han Wuxian also recognized the two of them, "They also took candy from me when they were young, of course, it was not real sugar, it was vomiting medicine, they survived my training, but they were willing to take refuge in the Dutch girl, alas, I like these two little girls very much, and killing them with my own hands makes me doubly happy." ”
Nie Zeng couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't you have a little feeling?"
Weak as a snake, Han Wuxian twisted his body and stretched his left foot over Nie Zeng's shoulder in a posture that seemed extremely impossible to outsiders, shaking it in front of his eyes.
The bare soles of his feet were close at hand, the scars on his ankles were shocking, and Nie Zeng's cheeks were redder than the blood on his forehead, "Take it away, what are you doing?"
Han Wuxian paused for a moment before retracting the soles of his feet, "When the iron chain passed through, the two of them were also present, have you heard the screams and pleadings of the hall master of Xiaoyue Hall? Hey, kid, where do you have the qualifications to talk about 'feelings'? When you fall in love with someone, I will let you know what true feelings are." ”
Nie Zeng glared angrily, but unfortunately he couldn't see the person behind him, he was a killer, so he wouldn't fall in love with anyone.
Gu Shenwei ignored this scene, things changed, he changed from a spectator to a participant, and he had to quickly solve the current problem, so he ordered Nie Zeng, Han Wuxian and the five Jinpeng killers to return to the Dragon Army camp immediately, and sent troops to respond, he and the five young killers stayed in place to guard the corpse, and Shangguan Fei led the order to go to the camp of the close service army to call people.
Li Man has been staying in the camp for the past two days, contacting his friends and finding out news for the Dragon King, and Gu Shenwei hopes that he can come in handy today.
The first to arrive was not the close attendants, but the King of Yao, who also came from the west to watch the battle.
Under the protection of a hundred silver-armored guards, more than a thousand ordinary cavalry, and dozens of martial arts masters, Tosai galloped forward.
Gu Shenwei and five teenagers lurked in the grass, more than a dozen corpses could only be simply disguised, the army passed dozens of paces away, the rumbling horses' hooves trembled slightly, as long as a soldier turned his head to look, he could also see the problem.
The army passed by, leaving an obvious crushing trace on the grassland, and Gu Shenwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Fei finally rushed back, followed by seven or eight officers.
The officers jumped off their horses and went straight to the body of the assassin, all of whom were silent.
Liman was among them, pointing to the other eight corpses, "Are they assassins?"
Gu Shenwei nodded.
One officer, who appeared to be the leader of the crowd, "has no living mouth." ”
"Nope. "The truth is sudden, it is not easy for Han Wuxian and the killers to catch up with the assassins, and the opponent is a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, so it is not easy to stay alive.
The officer looked at the Dragon King suspiciously, "You just in time, you didn't have time to save people, and you didn't catch the prisoners?"
"Sometimes it's just that coincidental. ”
Liman stepped forward to introduce, "This is the Dragon King, and this is the commander of the Chamberlain, Azheba." ”
Gu Shenwei remembered this name, Xu Yanwei escaped from prison with this person, and he was only a centurion at that time.
Xu Yanwei said some inexplicable words, implying that Azheba was in love with Shangguan Ru, and Gu Shenwei didn't take it to heart at the time, but when he saw him and heard the unceremonious questioning, he felt a burst of anger.
Azheba seemed to feel this anger, and said in a soothing tone: "Please forgive the Dragon King, I panicked for a while when the Grand Captain was assassinated. ”
Several officers gathered around Azheba, "What should I do? The Holy King is challenging over there, and the whole army is waiting for the Grand Captain." ”
"Take the body back, don't announce it yet, and act when the opportunity comes. ”
"It's very difficult, we have a group of centurions and thousands, we can't control the army, we have to have a general in charge. An officer said.
Azheba was silent for a moment, he had just been promoted to commander of a thousand soldiers, he did not have much prestige in the army, although he had many friends, they were all young people, and his military rank was not high, "Only in this way, pick a suitable general, give him the body of the Grand Captain, and let him announce the death, and then we will support him as the new leader at the same time." ”
The officers were obviously going to discuss secret matters, and Gu Shenwei and Liman walked away, and the five teenage killers hid nearby and never appeared.
"Alas, things are troublesome, we have gained the trust of the Grand Lieutenant, and we are about to persuade him to support Prince Dotun, but if such a thing happened without thinking, how could he leave the barracks with only such a few men?"
"Before his death, his guards claimed to have been annihilated. ”
Li Man glanced back at the officers, "It is very likely that there are not many people who can persuade the Grand Captain to leave the camp in danger, and I believe that the internal annihilation will be found out soon." ”
"The key is who will take over the position of Grand Lieutenant. ”
Li Man glanced at it again, "That's right, the Dragon King also knows that the internal division of the close service army is very serious, and each has its own position, only the Grand Lieutenant can suppress it, once he dies, it will be difficult to maintain the integrity of the close service army, what we can do is to try to win over the largest one." ”
Li Man didn't say anything, if he wanted to get a piece of the pie from the close servants, it was not enough to rely on the name of the Dragon King and the identity of a few noble officers, he had to introduce a descendant of the royal family.
The officers discussed it, but did not tell the result, Azheba invited the Dragon King to go to the camp of the close servants, "The Dragon Court is full of rumors now, and it is best for the Dragon King to go in person, lest anyone say irresponsible things." ”
Gu Shenwei agreed, and instead of calling out the five hidden teenage killers, he hinted that they would follow from afar.
The ruins of the Dragon Court were not far away, and Gu Shenwei could even see the two large armies facing each other, as well as several small armies watching the battle.
A cavalry of several hundred men galloped in front of them, and began to disperse dozens of paces away, encircling the team transporting the remains.
Gu Shenwei didn't want to see something happen, and the scouts discovered the whereabouts of Azheba and other officers, which attracted the attention of King Yao, and he personally led his troops over to check the reason.
