Dugu Xian hadn't taken a step out of the house for a long time, and he relied on his hearing to understand the situation outside.

He knew that there were fifteen guards and three miscellaneous servants in the courtyard, and every two quarters of an hour three guards would pass by the door, their feet heavy, and their weapons rubbing against the iron armor made a reassuring noise.

What made him even more reassuring was the Dragon King, that young man seemed to have a lot of ideas, maybe he could really repel the 50,000 army of Jinpeng Castle, he didn't expect to be able to completely defeat the Dubu King in the end, as long as the two sides could be evenly matched, as a defector, he didn't have to live in fear every day.

The footsteps of the guards had not been heard for a while, and half an hour ago, someone shouted for fire, and Duguxian woke up from his dream, and he never slept, pricking up his ears to listen.

He was a little nervous, glanced at the waist knife lying across the table, and didn't touch it, he knew his catties, that is, the level of ordinary swordsmen, so he got up and walked to the door and listened for a while.

It was so quiet outside, it seemed like he was the only one left in the whole courtyard.

Dugu Xian retreated to the table, hesitated for a while, or gently pulled out the waist knife, the tip of the knife supported the ground, placed it straight on the back of his thighs, carried his hands, put two fingers on the handle, and the scabbard on the table opened to himself, if an outsider walked in from outside the door, he would think that the knife had not yet been unsheathed.

He just waited.

Time passed very slowly, and he thought the whole night should have passed, but it was still dark outside, and the light in the room was dim, but he felt as if everything was radiating.

For no reason, Dugu Xian felt a cool breeze blowing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head on his back.

He twisted his stiff body and looked back slowly.

In front of the bed stood a man, tall and thin, dressed in black, and could not see where the weapon was, probably also black.

Bang, the waist knife fell to the ground, Dugu Xian's heart beat violently more than ten times, and suddenly stabilized again, he was very happy, in the face of death, he was not as afraid as he imagined.

He turned around and was about to speak, but the other person raised a finger, made a silent gesture, and motioned for him to face the door again.

Dugu Xian was extremely surprised, and slowly returned to his original position, only the waist knife was still thrown on the ground.

The man in black didn't make a move.

A small hope began to grow in Dugu Envy's heart: the man in black was not a killer, but a dragon king sent to protect him.

The cool breeze on the back instantly turned into warmth.

The man in black seemed to understand Dugu Xian's thoughts, and his momentum, which was not very strong, dropped a little, faint to almost nothing.

The two of them, one in front of the other and one behind, stood still like statues, waiting for an hour, and Dugu Xian felt that the soles of his feet were numb.

The morning light was slightly dewy outside, and Dugu Xian wanted to look back at the protector again, when a voice sounded outside.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, a Great Snow Mountain swordsman rudely pushed the door in, and glanced at Dugu Xian, who looked like a wooden stake, "Are you okay?"

The swordsman's tone was stiff, he would not have a good impression of the surrendered enemy commander.

"It's fine. Dugu Xian was a little surprised, and the swordsman's expression made it very clear that he didn't see the second person at all.

"It's not safe outside, you don't come out. ”

Dugu Xian nodded.

The swordsman probably felt that his expression and posture were a little weird, and he was about to withdraw, but after thinking about it, he took a step towards Dugu Xian, "Are you really okay?"

Asking this sentence more cost him his life.

Most of the swordsmen have experienced a hundred battles, and have an instinctive reaction to danger, his hand is already on the hilt of the sword, but the long sword has only been drawn two or three inches, and he has already been ambushed, his head suddenly droops, and he slowly knelt on the ground, revealing the assassin behind him.

It was also a man in black, masked, slightly shorter, and although the light was brighter, Dugu Xian still couldn't see where his weapon was hidden.

Dugu Xian's heart was cold, it turned out that there was no protector in the house, he was just a bait in a trap, and he didn't even know how many people were hiding nearby.

The short man in black also raised his finger to his mouth, signaling silence.

Dugu Xian had no way to respond, he was afraid that the Dragon King would be tricked, and even more afraid that the Dragon King would not be tricked, the assassins would not keep waiting, and they would definitely get rid of themselves smoothly when they left.

The short man in black dragged the corpse to the corner of the wall, and did not hide it anymore, but stood next to the corpse, bowing his head slightly, as if standing and sleeping.

After staring at it for a long time, Dugu Xian finally found the weapon of the man in black, a scabbard of the same color as the clothes, leaning on his legs, even with the bright sunlight, it was difficult to see the flaws.

There were footsteps outside the door again, and the comer was more polite this time, and asked softly at the door, "General Dugu?"

"Huh?" Dugu Xian didn't know what to say, so he had to squeeze a voice out of his throat vaguely.

"The dragon king has come to visit, please ask if it is convenient for the general. ”

The man in black in the corner looked at Dugu Envy with a cold gaze.

"Convenient. Dugu Xian changed one leg to support his body, and suddenly made a decision, without even having time to analyze the pros and cons of this move, "There is ......"

At the same moment as he raised his breath and was about to cry out, the killer's knife stabbed at him, and there was not only one handle, but there were sneak attackers in front of and behind him, even above his head.

“...... Ambush!" Dugu Xian finally shouted out the last two words, and then felt a sharp pain on the left side of his body.

He thought he was going to die, but his consciousness was still very clear, the legendary Jinpeng killer has always killed with a knife, and this knife is not like their style.

Dugu envy didn't have time to think about it, endured the severe pain, threw himself on the spot, rolled a few times, and got up.

He first found that his left arm was gone, blood gushing out like a mountain of melted snow, and then saw that the Dragon King was killing the last assassin.

When Dugu Xian was still asleep, there were already three Jinpeng killers in the house.

Gu Shenwei entered the city at dawn and ordered the soldiers to surround the nearby streets, and he came alone to inquire about the situation.

The guards in the courtyard were still alive, but they were attacked last night, and two savage soldiers were wounded by hidden weapons, so the others increased their patrols, and after four days, the enemy did not appear again.

As for Dugu Xian in the house, the guards assured that no one would break in.

Gu Shenwei didn't think so, so he sent a guard to greet him, reminded him not to talk much, and left the room when he saw Dugu Xian.

The guards did not strictly follow the dragon king's warnings, and when he was killed, the dragon king was standing on the roof, listening to the voices below, looking for traces of the enemy.

The best time to do it was the moment when the three assassins exited the house, but Dugu Xian issued a warning, and the assassins were ready to kill people, and Gu Shenwei had to go with the knife.

He broke through the roof and killed two assassins in a row, a little too late to save Dugu Xian's arm, and then exchanged three moves with the third assassin and killed him under the knife.

These three people are not ordinary Jinpeng killers, if they are allowed to take the lead, Gu Shenwei doesn't know if he can stop it.

Dugu Xian's consciousness began to blur, and he vaguely understood what was happening, and then his eyes turned black and he fainted.

The sound of the fight attracted the guards outside, and they were all taken aback when they saw the corpses all over the ground, and hurriedly cleaned up the scene and bandaged Dugu Xian's wounds.

Gu Shenwei looked at the three assassins carefully, he didn't know Shangguan Jianyi, but he was sure that there was no such bold enemy commander among them.

Shangguan Jianyi has either escaped from Shiguo, or changed his hiding location, this is not an ordinary opponent, Gu Shenwei is very sure of this, and there is a trace of excitement in his heart to meet an excellent opponent.

He hasn't lost yet, Shangguan Jianyi burned two military arsenals and sent people to set traps here in Duguxian, which shows that he has begun to plan.

Not long after, Dugu Xian woke up, and along with the recovery of consciousness, there was still pain, frowning and moaning twice, "Shangguan Jianyi probably won't send troops this year." ”

Gu Shenwei stood in front of the bed and nodded, "No, but he will send more killers." ”

The information transmitted by Shangguan Hong is not the most important strategy to lure the enemy, what makes Shangguan Jianyi suspicious is the two military arsenals, he is a very meticulous person, like the Dragon King, he is also a very suspicious person, most of the military arsenals are fakes, he will think that Shangguan Hong and the military arsenal are the bureau laid by the Dragon King, and want to lure him to send troops as soon as possible and enter the trap.

This is a scam similar to the empty city plan, when Gu Shenwei said the general content of the plan, Dugu Xian was more confident than the Dragon King, because he knew Shangguan Jianyi, "He doesn't trust anyone, he only believes what he sees with his own eyes." ”

Gu Shenwei gave him "what he saw with his own eyes".

After staying for a while, Gu Shenwei said goodbye and returned to the barracks, Shangguan Jianyi will wait until next spring to send troops, but as long as there is a one percent possibility, the whole army cannot relax its vigilance, and before winter comes, it must strengthen its defense.

The whole barracks were like a great enemy, and all the officers and men were ordered to assemble and have not yet been disbanded.

A team of swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain checked the names of the people one by one according to the books in their hands, and another group of swordsmen conducted a thorough search of the camp, and finally found a total of nearly 100 extra soldiers, plus the arsonists who attacked the military treasury, and there were more than 270 spies hidden in the fifth ** team.

This is Gu Shenwei's most difficult task at the moment, how to calm everyone's emotions while shocking the five countries.

Spies must be executed, and they must be executed publicly, that is the bottom line.

After ordering the beheading of the spies, the army was disbanded, intending to slowly calm down the centrifugation and fear in the army.

This day is very busy, people keep asking to see, either openly or secretly, all of them come to tell the whistle, Gu Shen wants to kill half of the soldiers in the barracks if he is hot-headed.

He knew that the spies had not yet been eradicated, and the soldiers whose names were written in the books were likely to have the same idea: the Dragon King and the army of the Great Snow Mountain were the invaders.

In the evening of the same day, Zhong Heng came to see him, obviously after careful consideration, he first talked about the turmoil in the army's heart and its serious consequences, and then proposed a solution that he thought was more suitable and not costly, "Please ask the Dragon King and Princess Shiguo to marry as soon as possible, this is the most important connection between Daxue Mountain and Xiaoyaohai." ”

Gu Shenwei understood what Zhong Heng meant, intellectually he recognized that this was a good idea, he should have thought of it a long time ago, but in his heart, he found that he had a strong resistance to the princess, this resistance had nothing to do with the last meeting, and it had taken root since the day he decided to ask for marriage.
