Princess Shiguo never expected to meet the Dragon King for the first time in this way.

Since she was a child, she has never made her own opinions, everything is decided by others, and this time it is the same, Xu Yanwei stuffed the idea of meeting into her head, and slowly, she thought that this was her own will.

The dragon king is the future husband, and she thinks that now is the time of national crisis, and she should make a show of support.

The princess won't know how much Xu Yanwei lied in order to see the Dragon King.

The appearance of the dragon king is the same as the princess imagined in advance, he is as handsome as Xu Yanwei claimed, so that a stone in the princess's heart fell to the ground, she was suspicious of the terrible legend, and always thought that the dragon king would be a tall and fierce person, but the ruthlessness of the dragon king was never mentioned by Xu Yanwei.

Pushing the door in, it seemed to be an iceberg, and the princess felt that the blood in her body was about to freeze, and the word "dragon king" almost exhausted all her strength.

Then the dragon queen drew her sword, and her blood boiled with terror.

The next scene was so strange to the princess that it was beyond all the experience of her life, so that after watching the whole process before her eyes, she remembered only a few fragments, and even these few fragments were frequently repeated in nightmares in the future.

The dragon king's knife was as sharp as fire, piercing through the body, as easily as burning a small piece of paper, and in the princess's memory, the dragon king slowly became the knife itself, with fire, blazing, destroying everything in an instant.

Her last memory was that there were three more corpses on the ground, the corpses of strangers, out of nowhere, like in the blink of an eye, she was transferred from the original room to this terrifying place by the power of gods and demons.

The only way the princess copes is to faint, refusing to admit that what is in front of her is reality.

The three assassins hid on the rooftops and attacked from the sky at the same time as the dragon king drew his sword, but they had lost the opportunity to sneak attack.

Gu Shenwei moved his feet quickly, killing the left-handed assassin first, and when the target had not yet fallen, he went around behind him, let go of the assassin in the middle, and killed the right-handed sneak attacker.

The last Assassin realized that his companion had been killed and turned to run, only to be stabbed in the heart.

As soon as the princess fainted, Gu Shen broke out of the window.

The Xu sisters and brothers were standing in the courtyard, chatting softly with a smile, and were startled by the dragon king who suddenly rushed out, and soon, they were startled again, and two people stood on the flat roof, I don't know what means to use, they actually disguised themselves exactly like the surrounding environment, and it was in broad daylight.

They did not flee, but at the same time jumped down and drew their swords to attack the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei jumped between the two siblings with their mouths wide open, and the two assassins, masked in gray cloths, slammed directly into them with their bright narrow knives.

Xu Yanwei's scream was still brewing in his throat, and the dragon king's knife suddenly passed by, and an assassin on the opposite side suddenly fell, as if to hug her, but tripped over a stone at the last step.

The only remaining assassin caught the dragon king's elusive move.

Two narrow knives with the same system collided together, and there was no difference between victory and defeat in moves, but the Wufeng knife won in weapons.

The Assassin's knife broke in two, and then he himself broke in two, and his head rolled off, bouncing all the way to a stop at the bottom of the steps of the corridor.

Xu Yanwei hoped that he could faint, so he would not be frightened by this, but his mind was extremely clear, and his senses were ten times sharper than usual, and the screams that were brewing in his throat finally broke through the restraints and erupted like a volcano.

Gu Shenwei gagged her mouth and forcibly stopped the screaming from continuing, Xu Yanwei almost held back her breath, but finally regained control.

Xu Xiaoyi dragged his sister's arm, "Dragon King ......"

"The killer of Castle Wings. Gu Shenwei let go of Xu Yanwei, carried the Wufeng knife, and quickly searched the courtyard, looked at the roof and the nearby rooms, and determined that these five people were all assassins.

Some palace maids and eunuchs heard Xu Yanwei's first scream, ran over and glanced at it, and immediately hid without a trace, as part of the palace rules, before the facts are clear, it is important to stay away from the corpse, and any more glances may cause death.

The Stone King's Palace can only be regarded as a miniature court, but the rules are not much different.

Xu Xiaoyi quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, there was an assassin in the room where the princess lived alone, and the dragon king was deceived by him and his sister, no matter how you look at it, they are all suspected of colluding with the assassins.

"Brother Huan. Xu Xiaoyi was in a hurry, and casually called out his former name, "I didn't know there were assassins here, really, my sister and I ......."

"I know. Gu Shenwei put away the Wufeng Knife, which made Xu Xiaoyi breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Yanwei also understood, but she thought more about it, and blurted out: "It's him, it's him who revealed the whereabouts of the Dragon King." ”

"Who?"

"Shangguan Hong. ”

Gu Shenwei was slightly stunned, he didn't understand how Shangguan Hong could be involved in this matter, he shouldn't have had a chance to contact the people in the palace.

Xu Yanwei hurriedly added: "It was Shangguan Hong who gave me the idea, saying that if you want to trick the Dragon King into the palace, don't mention the matter of the princess, but use the excuse that the king has a different heart to attract your attention." ”

Gu Shenwei was pondering how credible Xu Yanwei's words were, while Xu Xiaoyi thought of something else, he asked with a cold face: "Sister, how could you have a relationship with that kid in Shangguan Hong?"

"Why can't I?" Xu Yanwei's eyes widened in surprise, dissatisfied with his brother's question, "He is not ugly, he is also smart, he can speak sweetly, and he can play the flute." ”

Xu Xiaoyi's face was flushed, and he really couldn't think of anything to blame his sister, so he muttered in a low voice: "Dogs can't change their ......."

Xu Yanwei didn't say a word, and pinched his younger brother's ear, "Who is the dog?"

"I'm a dog, I'm a dog. Xu Xiaoyi was immediately defeated, begged her sister to let go, then rubbed her ears and glanced at the silent Dragon King, "Sister, it's all your fault, let the Dragon King fall into the trap." ”

"I, I don't want to do this, and besides, when I say so, it may not be Shangguan Hong who leaked the secret. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't express his opinion immediately, leaned over and took off the mask of a corpse, "Do you recognize this person?"

The two sisters and brothers looked at it seriously and shook their heads together, but after that, Xu Yanwei nodded immediately, "He seems to be ...... He seems to be a eunuch in the palace. ”

"Could it be that Shi Wang's sick son is really antipathetic?" Xu Xiaoyi jumped up and said, eager to get himself and his sister out of suspicion.

Gu Shenwei still refused to express his opinion, "The princess fainted, you go and take a look." ”

Xu Yan was slightly startled and hurriedly ran into the house.

"Go and call someone and identify the other bodies. ”

Xu Xiaoyi received the order and called the stewards and eunuchs in the palace at a much faster speed than usual.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to say his true thoughts in front of his sister and brother, he already had a rough plan in his heart, and it was not yet time to implement it.

It turned out that this was a long-planned assassination, and the chief eunuch recognized that the five assassins were all people who did chores in the palace, and called the eunuch who was in charge of the specific affairs, and learned that they had been in the palace for some time, probably in the month when the princess recruited relatives.

This was a belated assassination, and the rules of Jinpeng Castle were clearly revealed, and the five men were ordered to assassinate the dragon king in the palace, apparently taking turns monitoring the princess's behavior, thinking that sooner or later they would meet the dragon king in her place.

That's nearly ten months.

I don't know what went wrong, when the news of the death of the dragon king spread all over the Western Regions, the five people did not give up the task, and still continued to hide, and when the siege was at its most tense, they did not help the besiegers outside the city to assassinate the generals in the city.

Gu Shenwei ordered the news to be blocked, and asked the chief to investigate the origin of everyone in the palace, including eunuchs, guards, miscellaneous servants, and palace maids, according to the books, especially the time of entering the palace, to see if the assassins still had comrades.

Gu Shenwei had a hunch that he would not find any clues, and he wanted to use the two slightly contradictory acts of sealing and investigating to signal to the secret enemy that he had not yet discovered the truth.

Since the assassin had long been hiding in the palace, in the eyes of the Xu family's sisters and brothers, the others had also gotten rid of suspicion, Xu Yanwei specially told the Dragon King and his younger brother not to tell others that she had suspected Shangguan Hong, "He is timid and afraid of the Dragon King to death, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand this blow." ”

The princess woke up an hour later, and when she learned the details from Xu Yanwei's mouth, she was both frightened and ashamed, and felt that it was a very humiliating act for her to faint in front of the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei didn't think so, although he still didn't have any feelings for the princess, but he found the right person to solve a small matter.

The High Priest of the Martial Arts of the Land of Incense Accumulation left behind piles of books and mantras containing the all-important Chapter 8 of the Book of the Void, and it was a time-consuming and laborious task to piece them together, as well as a large number of words to know, which alone was enough to exclude the vast majority of the army.

Gu Shenwei first asked Xu Yanwei if the princess was willing to do this, and Xu Yanwei agreed, "The princess especially wants to do something for the Dragon King, is the content of the book very important?"

"It's important, and it's confidential. ”

Xu Yanwei immediately closed her mouth tightly and nodded solemnly.

The princess was indeed willing, but it was a pity that the dragon king did not personally give her the task.

After leaving the palace, Gu Shenwei went to visit Duguxian again.

Dugu Xian was carefully planning the content of the training, and nodded casually after seeing the Dragon King again, as if the two had been talking, and no one had left, "It will take eight months, and it will take at least eight months to train the rabble into useful soldiers." ”

However, the army of Jinpeng Fort will attack within a month.

"The winter of the sea is not suitable for war, right?" asked Gu Shenwei.

Faced with this abrupt question, Dugu Xian was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he understood, "That's right, normal generals will not fight in winter, especially cavalry, providing forage for tens of thousands of war horses is enough to drag them down." One of the important reasons why the Four-Nation Alliance was unable to capture the capital of Shiguo was that they chose to start the war before the end of winter, and many weapons were not used. ”

"It's September, which means that as long as the army of Jinpeng Castle doesn't move for a month, we can win a rest for the whole winter. ”

"Well, it should be like this, but Shangguan Jianyi is as stubborn as King Dubu, and he may be reckless, and he will have to fight in winter, or he may fight here tomorrow. ”

Everything is possible, Dugu Xian refuses to assert it, but Gu Shenwei gradually knows in his heart that he wants to buy time for the recasting of this patchwork army under his command, which may not be eight months, but always the longer the better.

Shangguan Hong should come in handy, he thought.
