Chapter 583: Fighting for the King
Timing is sometimes more important than speed, Gu Shenwei and Chu Nanping seized the opportunity and cooperated seamlessly.
There were masters around the Holy Sun King, but the two people who reacted the fastest were blocked by Chu Nanping's double swords, when Gu Shenwei was still in the air, the others had already bent their bows and drawn their swords, but no one dared to make a move immediately, they were afraid of accidentally injuring the prince.
The Holy Sun King was controlled by others, but he was more calm than his subordinates, so he didn't believe that the Dragon King really dared to use a knife against him, so he raised his hand to stop everyone's meaningless shouting, "Since my tenth birthday, this is the first time that someone has sat in the back and hugged me, Dragon King, do you treat me as a woman? β
"To me, the King of the Holy Day is more attractive than all women. β
"Haha, you are really good at coaxing, alas, women like this trick, and men like it too. β
The cavalry looked at each other, one was the dragon king who was famous for killing, and the other was the second-ranked prince in his country, and he used ambiguous language in public**, they didn't remember that their prince had this hobby.
When Gu Shenwei mentioned the "Proud Lou Disciple" before, his voice was not loud, completely drowned in the noise, only the Holy Day King heard it alone, he neither admitted nor denied it, a few jokes changed the atmosphere, and also gave a hint.
Gu Shenwei jumped off the horse, he didn't draw his sword from beginning to end, "The Holy Sun King needs a better horse." β
"No horse can withstand two 'kings'. The Holy Sun King lifted the feather ornament on the top of his helmet, "Can't the Dragon King's retinue really come with me?"
For the disciples of Deyilou, Chu Nanping, who comprehended the solo exercises, was the most important person.
Gu Shenwei shook his head firmly, "He is timid, unless I explore the way in advance, he will not go anywhere." β
"What a pampered retinue, the dragon king is really obedient to him. β
"There's no way, when you meet an irreplaceable retinue, that's all you can do. β
Chu Nanping had long been accustomed to others judging his appearance and quality, turning a deaf ear to everything, but he just understood the intention of the dragon king with his heart, he knew that he could leave, so he put away his two swords and slowly retreated.
The impregnable cavalry would not give way to him, and they all looked at the King of the Holy Sun, waiting for his orders.
The Holy Day King kept staring at the Dragon King, and Chu Nanping was about to hit the horse blocking the road, so he nodded, "It's an honor to be able to invite the Dragon King." β
The cavalrymen also understood their master's intentions, and immediately gave way to a passage, and Chu Nanping walked into the last dark night before dawn, not worried about the safety of the dragon king at all.
Someone gave up a horse for the dragon king to ride, and the attitude of the Holy Day King became more and more kind, and he kept making vulgar jokes along the way, and Gu Shenwei responded with a lack of a match, which often made the Holy Day King laugh.
Had it not been for the obstacles on the way, they would have reached the finish line in harmony, and the cavalry thought that the previous saber-rattling was a joke.
By this time it was already dawn, but there were not many pedestrians on the road, and soon they understood why.
A large group of cavalry, much more than the Holy Days' troops, blocked the exit from the untouchables.
The Solar King, who was ranked seventh in the North Garden, also personally led his troops to arrive.
Gu Shenwei had met this prince once, he didn't speak at that time, he only knew that he was the younger brother of King Shengri, and he was originally a centrist in the battle for the throne of Khan, but as the last moment approached, the tendency began to become more and more obvious, and he wholeheartedly supported his nephew King Kwari.
The Solar King was nearly fifty years old, as short and stout as his elder brother the Holy Sun King, with a serious expression and no signs of excessive drinking, "Second brother, I have come to beg you." β
The two princes met on horseback, greeted each other, and their faces were kind, but the cavalry behind them were ready for battle, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"My brother doesn't have any good wine at home? The King of the Holy Day could not remember how many younger brothers he had, so he was called "elder brother."
"Hehe, that is, the second brother's house has a pile of wine, and I can't find a second one in the world, but I'm not asking for wine, I'm here to ask for someone. β
"No problem, the women in my family, except for the princess, you can choose everyone else, I have four or five daughters who are not married, and I am in a hurry. β
Wine and women are the two shields of the Holy Sun King, and they are used to resist all topics that do not suit him.
The Solar King didn't want to fight anymore, so he said, "Ask the second brother to hand over the Dragon King to me." β
"Huh, the dragon king is not a woman, and the second is not a wine, what is my brother going to do?"
"The Dragon King has killed one of my men, I need to ask. β
Not long ago, the Holy Sun King didn't know anything about the corpses on the ground, but now he seemed to know everything, "Is that the guy who calls himself Gu Da, but is actually called Gu Feng?"
"Exactly, he is a master I paid a lot of money for, and he died in vain, do you think I can not care? The Dragon King is a distinguished guest, and he promised not to kill anyone......"
The Holy Day King waved his hand, "Hey, brother, your temperament is too great, but you are just a warrior, similar to a dog and a horse, what if you die? β
"It's not a question of how much, if it's in the martial arts arena, I don't have anything to say, but ......"
The King of the Holy Day made up his mind not to let his younger brother finish speaking, and waved his hand again, "The problem of face, I have already investigated it in detail, that kid from Gu Feng united with a group of fools and planned to assassinate the Dragon King, but the Dragon King was just protecting himself, but he didn't provoke." I also asked, this matter has nothing to do with the elder brother, but I will say more, the elder brother was deceived, that ancient style is from the Central Plains, leading the prince of Beiting, but doing things for others, you go back and tidy up your subordinates, there are still spies hidden in it. β
The Sun King had a blushing face, and the Holy Sun King actually claimed that the ancient style of eating inside and outside was tantamount to belittling his lack of discipline and vision.
Tosai, the son of the Solar, came out of the crowd and came to his father, and said with a whip and indignantly, "My father respects you, King Sun, and you don't want to take an inch, we must take the Dragon King away." β
The King of the Holy Day usually appears in front of everyone as a drunkard, and he is the weakest among the ten kings, and even the younger generations don't take him very seriously, but today he seems to be a different person, not only rarely wearing armor, but even his temper has become bigger, and he spat at the disrespectful nephew, "Where did the wild cub come from, he talks like a mad dog, who took away the chain around his neck?"
Tosai was furious when he heard this, and drew a single knife from the ground, but in the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground, one foot still stuck in the stirrup, the weapon thrown aside, and his hands slashed, embarrassed.
Finally breaking free, Tosai stood on the ground ashamed and confused.
It was his father, the Solar King, who knocked him off his horse.
"Bastard, how do you talk to your uncle? People say you're a wild bitch, and you lose all my face. β
Thorsai's face was red, and he didn't understand why his father suddenly became polite to the incompetent second uncle, and muttered: "Uncle forgive ...... sins."
The Holy Day King ignored this false apology, "My brother is as brave as he was back then, I don't have the strength to slap people off the horse with one slap." β
The Holy Sun King wanted to divert the topic again, but the Sun Sun King assumed that the episode was over, "Second brother, my face is getting more and more unbearable, so you can call the Dragon King out and let me ask him a few words." β
Gu Shenwei had been watching from the sidelines, and finally knew who Gu Feng was instructing, and he already had a guess in his heart, but it was only at this time that he was determined.
King Khari's original plan was to completely isolate the Dragon King, force him to flee from the Dragon Court, and later claim that he would leave a master like Old Man Mu to assassinate the Old Khan King, but the Dragon King's reaction was unexpected, not only did he not escape, but he pressed forward step by step.
After losing the two key chess pieces of Kuo Zhen and Shangguan Shaomin, King Kuari finally took the initiative.
The Sun Yao King is the spokesperson of the King of Kuari, and he sent Gu Feng to kidnap Chu Nanping in order to exchange hostages with the Dragon King.
Gu Feng once appeared for the Sun Solar King, and in order to get away with it afterwards, he made the following plan: temporarily find a few swordsmen to pretend to be Jinpeng killers, if the Dragon King is fooled and theorizes to Jinpeng Castle, he will jump into the trap and be charged with false accusations, and it will be even more difficult to identify Gu Feng;
Liman and Mustang were both fooled, and the latter even killed Gu Feng despite his suspicions.
This plan was originally flawless, but after two nights of training, Chu Nanping's swordsmanship exceeded Gu Feng's expectations, and the kidnapping failed to succeed quickly, and he was killed instead, leaving evidence that could not be concealed.
The Holy Sun King, who came out halfway to intercept the fruit, was even more out of the plan, and suddenly, Chu Nanping was not important, and King Kuari was jealous of all those who were qualified to compete for the Khan throne, and immediately guessed that the Holy Sun King and the Dragon King were colluding with each other.
The Solar King originally wanted to get rid of suspicion, and in order to regain the Dragon King, he had to admit that Gu Feng was still his subordinate.
This was the guess in Gu Shenwei's heart, and the complicated situation in the Dragon Court had gradually become clear in his eyes.
"Dragon King, the Solar King wants to ask you a few words. "The Holy Sun King can't be tougher anymore, the forces in his hands are no match for the Sun Sun King, so he must accept it when he sees it and make appropriate concessions.
Gu Shenwei got his wish and turned himself into a sought-after figure, which was an extremely dangerous plan, and it was not in line with his usual style of acting, but in the unfamiliar Dragon Court, this was almost the only option, if not, he could only wait silently for the crime of assassinating the old Khan King to fall on his head.
Gu Shen came over for the sake of patting the horse, omitting all the clichΓ©s, and looked at the Solar King.
"You killed my men. β
"I'm self-defense. β
"There's a misunderstanding here, would the Dragon King be willing to talk about it privately? β
"I am now a guest of the King of the Holy Days, and I must respect the wishes of my master. β
The Solar King turned to his brother and threatened in a sincere tone, "Second brother, my requirements are not high, please ask the Dragon King to follow me to a nearby tent to say a few words alone, and then return it, and never break my promise, please, don't force me to a dead end." β
"I said this as if I was so uninteresting, as long as the Dragon King was willing, what could I say?" In the case of lack of strength, the Holy Sun King could only choose to compromise, "But well, you will have to return me a complete guest later, haha." β
The two princes let out hearty laughter at the same time, hiding all their grievances.
Gu Shenwei was not surprised at all, when he walked into the makeshift tent, the person waiting for him was King Kuari.
"I apologize to the Dragon King. On the surface, King Kwari was not in a hurry at all, and still had his signature kind smile on his face, "It's my fault for underestimating the Dragon King, I hope we can negotiate again." β
"Nothing better, what is King Kwari going to use to negotiate with me?"
The smile on King Kuari's face was even stronger, "A woman, the woman that the Dragon King cares about the most." β
