The knife was still in his hand, but it was not it that was ready to kill when he swung it out, Gu Shenwei tried a new "weapon" for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, as if he had returned to the apprenticeship period of Jinpeng Castle, full of doubts about his own ability, and after each knife was issued, he couldn't help but want to lean over and take a closer look.

This time, he held back.

The morning light on the edge of the sky was slightly transparent, and the grass at the edge of the forest was covered with dewdrops, wetting the shoes on Gu Shenwei's feet, he didn't care, and quietly watched Qin Yeming busy.

Qin Yeming had already placed a half-person-high round stool on the grass, and at this time he was placing wine glasses and wine jugs on it, there were not many things, but they were very exquisite.

When the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Qin Ye immediately retreated and took away the two horses next to him.

Two knights appeared in the distance, and only one ran over.

Shangguan Ru didn't get off the horse, looked down at the two glasses of wine that had been poured, and smiled, "You still remember." ”

"Hmm. Gu Shenwei picked up a cup.

Shangguan Ru waved his horsewhip, rolled up another glass of wine, caught it with his left hand, put it under his nose and sniffed deeply for a while, "This is a special wine from Shule Country, which is very rare in the Western Regions, how did you get it?"

"I know a guy who has a lot of access at the border. ”

"Sounds like a nice guy. ”

Shangguan Ru signaled, and the two of them took a sip at the same time, and no one spoke for a while, as if they were quietly tasting the taste of the wine.

"How's your plan going?" Shangguan Ru asked, looking slightly stunned, the first sip after quitting alcohol for many years didn't seem to be as delicious as she remembered.

"It's fine. Gu Shenwei was surprised to find that this wine was almost the same as the taste he had drunk during his apprenticeship, mixed with sourness, bitterness and sweetness, and a little bit of blood that might just come from his imagination," General Pang Ning was convinced, he didn't want to rebel. Willing to form an alliance with Princess Huaping and personally lead the army to Kinmen Pass to pursue the imperial seal, Xiao Yan has no other choice, she will not give up the hard work of these years, especially just got Kinmen Pass, and is reluctant to let go. ”

"She must hate you even more. ”

"To kill me. She also offended many people, so she didn't live long. ”

"Haha. Shangguan Ru suddenly laughed.

Gu Shenwei looked dazed, not understanding what was ridiculous about his words.

"It's a clever trick for you to turn your hatred on someone else, but you still talk like a killer. ”

"Because I'm the killer. Gu Shenwei put the wine glass back in its place and pulled out the narrow knife left by the unknown killer, his eyes flashed with youthful enthusiasm, he had never used it before, "I just want to change the method of killing." Try Mr. Zhang's doorway. ”

Money and resourcefulness, this is the murder knife in Zhang Ji's hand, but he uses it very jerky, and Gu Shenwei plans to pick it up again.

"It's hard to find customers for your method of killing, and they prefer to cut off people's heads neatly. ”

"As with all businesses, you have to take your time, there are always people who know the goods. ”

Shangguan Ru smiled again. This time she smiled bitterly, and she drank the rest of the wine in her glass. He threw down his glass and said loudly, "It's not interesting to drink like this, come, taste mine." ”

A wine bag flew towards Gu Shenwei, like a beast that had just woken up and made its first jump today.

The wine bag was heavy, and Gu Shenwei put away the narrow knife. Unplugged the cork, and a strong smell of wine hit his nose, causing him to frown.

Shangguan Ru also held a wine bag in his hand, looked at him with a smile, and raised his hands. I poured a big sip first, smacking my lips with satisfaction, "The first taste is the best, and I will be numb slowly, but the mood will get better and better." ”

Gu Shenwei took a deep breath and took a sip with a resolute attitude, "You're right, take a big sip of it, it doesn't seem to be so bitter." ”

"Well, so I'm not going to get off the horse, let's have a 'big mouthful' goodbye. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Everyone thought I was going to the land of incense. Shangguan Ru bent down, lowered his voice, and showed a wise smile, "Actually, I want to travel the world and wander around, this is my dream since I was a child." ”

Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered that night, he carried Shangguan down the mountain, but turned back to the stone castle halfway, it was like another person and another world, he clearly remembered every detail at that time, but he couldn't capture the feeling at that time, he felt deep regret, "I'm very sorry......"

"Don't say that. Shangguan Ru's hand holding the wine bag shook gently, "I don't ask for anything, and you haven't promised anything - except this wine - let us drink it in a big gulp, leaving only sweetness, not bitterness." ”

Gu Shenwei admits that he will never be as free and easy as Shangguan Ru, even if he wins people's hearts, he is cautious, relying more on strategy and interests than on wine and pride.

This time he took a big sip.

"Even if it's a gift, I'm going to give you a promise. ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Ru looked interested, "I won't refuse this kind of good thing." ”

"When you want to kill someone, give me a name, I don't take any pay, you are a free customer. ”

"Haha, are you doing business? Maybe I'm the only customer who knows the goods. Well, I remember your promise. Shangguan Ru pondered for a while, and said to himself: "Maybe there are really people I want to get rid of." Then she smiled, "I have your promise, but how can I find you?"

"I won't live in seclusion anymore, the past six years have been too boring, if I stay like this, sooner or later I will be like Xiao Chu, so bored that I want to kill myself, I will walk on the border between the Central Plains, the Western Regions, and the North Garden, no matter where I am, you will definitely hear my name. ”

Shangguan Ru heard about Chu Nanping from Su Ai, "I hope he and Tie Linglong can get through this pass." ”

"Yes. Gu Shenwei's voice was full of confidence, he glanced down at the wine bag, and felt that it was all due to it, so he took another big sip, and sure enough, the confidence seemed to be a little more, "Tie Linglong will pull him back." ”

If Shangguan refuses to lag behind, Gu Shenwei will inevitably make up for every sip, "Don't you plan to meet Shangguan Cheng?" In fact, he admires you very much and misses you very much, but he is embarrassed to show it, he is still a child. ”

"He'll make his own decisions, and he'll be a kid anymore. Gu Shenwei paused. Then he told the truth, "I don't know how to deal with him, he's a stranger and will probably ask a lot of questions that I can't answer." ”

Looking at Gu Shenwei's slightly embarrassed appearance, Shangguan Ru smiled happily, "You were too young at that time. For no reason she cried again. Tears suddenly flowed out, she couldn't stop, she felt shy, but she couldn't help but say all the words, "You were with her once, you...... You ......"

Gu Shenwei was embarrassed, he never thought that Shangguan Ru would mention Luo Ning Tea, when he was born and died six years ago. She's always behaving inappropriately.

Shangguan Ru raised the wine bag, poured down half of the wine, and then the tears stopped, and she smiled again, "You see, wine is so pleasant, in the future, I will taste the world's wine, no one can stop me!"

"Where's Su Ai?"

Su Ai came with her. At this time, he also avoided it like Qin Yeming.

"Su Ai, he's not a red bat, how dare he stop me? Besides, I don't want him to follow me around the world. ”

"Take him with you. If the Red Bat wants to return to Biyu City, there should be someone you trust by your side, and Su Ai will follow you desperately. ”

A hint of confusion flashed in Shangguan Ru's eyes, and then he smiled, "He's also a child—what's wrong with us, let's get jealous of each other after drinking some wine?"

"Su Ai has grown up a long time ago. Gu Shenwei took a third sip of wine. He had to catch up with Shangguan Ru's progress.

Shangguan Ru was silent, the bitterness in the sweetness was only hidden, and it was impossible to disappear, she understood the meaning of this sentence, the same as back then. Gu Shenwei still wouldn't go with her.

"I want to kill someone right now, can you do it for me?"

"Who?"

"Lotus girl, now my name is Huo Yun, I don't want to be entangled by her for the rest of my life. ”

"She didn't want to kill you. ”

"But she always wants to humiliate me, and there is no end to it. Hehe, you can't do it, so ah, think about the wording the next time you make a promise, there are always things you can't do and don't want to do. ”

"I can. ”

"What can be?"

"You can kill the Lotus Girl, that Xiaoyue Hall Imperial Master, the one who is bent on defeating you, there will be no Lotus Girl in this world in the future......"

"There will only be Huo Yun. Shangguan Ru continued for him, "Not everyone can accept your statement. ”

Gu Shenwei patted the narrow knife on his waist, "With its help, most people can be convinced." ”

There wasn't much wine left, and Shangguan Ru drank it all in one go, "You know I'm joking with you, whether she's called Lotus Nu or Huo Yun, I never thought of killing her." ”

"I know. ”

"That'...... Just goodbye, maybe never, I remember your promise, but I don't want to kill anyone, and I can hear your name in the future, and you won't hear me again, unless you hear about a drunken drunkard somewhere. ”

Shangguan Ru turned the horse's head, she really wanted to take a big sip of this parting, but she didn't say a word, so she had to turn her head, "Protect the people of the Red Bat, until they return to Biyu City, they are no longer a burden on my shoulders." ”

Gu Shenwei wanted to say something, he was thinking about it long before Shangguan Ru arrived, but he never found the right words, and now it is still the same, looking at the back that is gradually moving away, he suddenly felt that it might be better to have nothing to say, raised his wine bag, and drank all the rest of the wine.

He slung the sac around his waist and pursed his lips and whistled.

Qin Yeming rode a horse, leading another horse, and behind him, there was also a person.

Luo Pingying jumped off the horse and looked around vigilantly, "You said that the lotus girl would also come, but that person was not her just now." ”

"She's nearby. Gu Shenwei said.

Luo Pingying was more vigilant, and even regretted going to the appointment alone.

Gu Shenwei stretched out his palm, "Now you can check it, the Gu family's Harmony and the Luo family's Qiankun are originally the same kind of exercises, the only difference is that the Locke family has an additional quick method, it was destroyed by me, and I didn't pass it on to anyone, and the internal skills I practiced myself are not Harmony Jin." ”

Luo Pingying slowly touched Gu Shenwei's palm, and found that the other party had no luck, so he was relieved to boldly input his true qi, this was a rare opportunity, only one blow was needed to kill the enemy.

Luo Pingying withdrew his palm, "Okay, I believe you, that Tie Linglong didn't practice the Quick Method?"

"Nope. ”

Without making any more explanations, Luo Pingying still decided to believe, "Call the lotus girl out, and the grievances between the Luo family and her must be resolved." ”

"His name is Huo Yun now, and I can't let you kill her. ”

Luo Pingying raised her head and laughed twice, her expression suddenly became serious, "Her Royal Highness the princess personally vouched for you, the Locke family can not blame you in the past, but this has nothing to do with others, the lotus girl killed the Luo family's swordsman, this revenge must be avenged." ”

"Well, everyone has the right to revenge, but today is not a good time. ”

Luo Pingying jumped back on the horse, "That's right, today is not a good time, the rivers and lakes are in chaos right now, and there are many enemies of the Luo family, I have to take my time, sooner or later it will be the turn of the Dutch girl - no, Huo Yun - sooner or later." ”

"She's not going to go away. ”

Luo Pingying turned the horse's head and walked in a different direction, he didn't want to go down alone to face Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl.

Qin Yeming was a little surprised, looking at the back of the old swordsman, "Will he come again to take revenge?"

"He won't, so will the rest of the Locke family, it doesn't matter, this is just one of our many enemies. ”

Qin Yeming was surprised, because Gu Shenwei used "we" to count Huo Yun's enemies on his head, he handed over the reins of a horse and asked in a low voice, "Is she really nearby?"

"She, Han Fen, are all here. Gu Shenwei said with confidence, feeling that the strength of the wine had not passed, "Let's go, the two of them will come out." ”

"Han Fen ......"

"As I said, don't let Han Fen decide, you have to decide. ”

Qin Yeming hummed solemnly.

Both jumped on their horses at the same time.

Nie Zeng left, he said that the lotus girl was dead, and there was no need to stay in the Central Plains. Qin Yeming almost forgot about it.

"Hmm. ”

Walking along the edge of the woodland for a while, Qin Yeming still couldn't hold back, "Why don't we go back to Jinmen Pass to have a look?"

"News will come soon. ”

"But corpse poison ......" Qin Yeming lowered his voice extremely low, he was really afraid of Huo Yun.

"I guess it's a variant of Indra's incense, it's not lethal, it's just a scare thing. ”

"What about the Imperial Seal, who will get it, or will it be taken away by the Xiao Yan clan?"

"You can give it to anyone, but it will also offend a large number of people, let Xiao Yan choose for herself, she is very smart, maybe she can come up with the perfect idea. ”

Qin Yeming smiled and shook his head slightly, "Zihe Zhenren doesn't seem to be very happy, he doesn't get anything." ”

"The Kongtong faction has already gotten too many things, and the Purple Crane True Person was not trusted by King Xiao in the first place, but now that he has the opportunity to meet left and right among the three parties, he will soon be happy. ”

Qin Yeming still had a lot of doubts to ask, especially wondering if the Xiao Yan clan would succumb to the general's army, but he also wanted to be as calm and confident as Gu Shenwei.

He suddenly felt as if he had heard a voice, and turned his head suddenly, expecting to see a familiar face—nothing behind him, except the round stool on which the wine glasses were placed, which had somehow fallen.

Gu Shenwei touched the scabbard lightly, thinking to himself, he didn't know whose knife he would die in.
