accompanied Shangguan Ru for more than half the night, and Gu Shenwei only got a word of praise.

He returned to the stone house and found that Lao Zhang had gone out to feed the horses without waiting for dawn, so he put on the kang with his clothes, and his mind was muddy, and after a while he fell asleep and had a series of dreams.

In the dream, the two Dapeng birds tried their best to spread their wings and lead their necks to the sky, just like their posture before they died, but they couldn't fly, not far away, Shangguan Ru pointed at Huan Nu, with an angry face, and then laughed wildly, which was creepy, and at Gu Shenwei's feet, the ugly chicks pecked fiercely.

Gu Shenwei was anxious, desperately trying to wake up, but he was deeply trapped in a dream and couldn't extricate himself, he asked for help from a person, the person's face was blurred, and gradually became clear, revealing the appearance of Xue Niang, she sat in a chair as usual, and did not speak coldly.

Gu Shenwei sat up suddenly, and finally got rid of the dream, which obviously did not have any terrifying plots, but he was shocked into a cold sweat, and his heart was beating wildly.

He raised his head and saw that Xue Niang was sitting on the edge of the kang, her expression was almost exactly the same as in her dream, reality and illusion were mixed together, and his wildly beating heart almost stopped beating.

"Nightmare?"

"Hmm. ”

"Nothing to be afraid of, it's still the same when you're awake anyway. ”

Gu Shenwei was speechless, a quiet person like Xue Niang, it was difficult to distinguish whether her words were casual or had other meanings, but the reality became clear because of this, this Xue Niang was real.

"You're doing a good job, very good. Xue Niang showed a rare smile, she rarely came to the stone house, every time Gu Shenwei came into the courtyard to see her, this smile seemed extremely unreal in the gloomy stone house.

"Ahh Gu Shenwei didn't understand this woman's intentions.

"The little girl has a crush on you?"

Gu Shenwei didn't understand Xue Niang's words even more, he was a servant of Shangguan Ru's cronies, everyone knew this, but Xue Niang's "like" seemed to have other meanings.

"No, Xue Niang, you misunderstood. ”

Gu Shenwei finally knew what Xue Niang meant, this was too ridiculous, Shangguan Ru was only twelve years old, and he hurriedly told him in detail about last night's events.

It was a game, he knew it from the beginning, so he continued to play with Jiu Gongzi as usual, Shangguan Ru looked for him entirely because Shangguan Yushi did not agree to escape with her.

Xue Niang's smile did not weaken, and finally she shook her head, "If it is really as you said, the trust of the Ninth Prince in you is far beyond that of others. ”

The word "trust" shocked Gu Shenwei's heart, he did not convey every word of Shangguan Ru to Xue Niang, and he did not plan to say it in the future.

"I think so. ”

Xue Niang's expression returned to her usual indifferent look, "Huan Nu, are you willing to do anything for me?"

"Yes, the little slave is willing to go to the soup for the Snow Lady......"

Xue Niang waved his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, because you're a smart person, so we can have something to say." You know that your secret is in my hands, and I can reveal it to the Eighth Young Master at any time, right?"

"Yes. Gu Shenwei knelt on the kang and replied carefully, feeling that Xue Niang was about to reveal some important information.

"Well, you know that you have been hit by my Eight Desolation Fingers, and without my help, your internal strength will never improve, right?"

"Yes. Gu Shenwei replied more carefully, he used the words in the nameless sword spectrum to break through the third layer of Yang Jin, which Xue Niang didn't know.

"Except last night, you've already gone mad once, right?"

Gu Shenwei was shocked, he went crazy in the boulder cliff two months ago, and he didn't say anything to anyone, but he didn't expect Xue Niang to still know.

"Yes, two months ago. ”

"Well, you have three years left from that day. ”

Gu Shenwei looked up at the gloomy Snow Lady in surprise.

"In these three years, you will fall into the demon once in a while, each time the time will be longer, and the pain will be deeper, and after three years, the demon will enter the heart, even the immortal Buddha will not be able to save it in the present life. ”

"Ask for grace from the Snow Lady, ask for the grace of the Snow Lady. Gu Shenwei pretended to tremble.

"I will be gracious, as long as you do one thing for me, I will not only remove the finger power in your Xuanji acupoint, but also pass on your true peerless martial arts, no matter who the enemy is, you can kill if you want. ”

Xue Niang deliberately emphasized the words "no matter who the enemy is", Gu Shenwei's heart moved, and the lies he claimed to be called "Yang Huan" were never fully accepted by Xue Niang.

"Willing and willing, as long as it is Xue Niang's business, the little slave will do his best, no matter how difficult it is. ”

"It's hard, it's not too hard. There is a wooden knife enshrined in the Six Killings Hall of Jinpeng Castle, you can find a way to bring it to me. ”

Gu Shenwei knew that the Six Killings Palace, where the ancestors of the Shangguan family were sacrificed, was located in the northernmost part of the castle, and if you wanted to go there, you had to pass through the inner house, "I, I think of a way." ”

Having said that, he knew very well that it was simply impossible.

"Hey, what can you do? Find the Ninth Prince and let her help you. ”

Gu Shenwei suddenly realized that Xue Niang asked him to try his best to please the twins, and the ultimate goal was for this.

"I'll try. ”

Gu Shenwei has no bottom in his heart, the wooden knife that Xue Niang wants must be of great significance, or there is some secret hidden, Jinpeng Fort must be strictly guarded, whether Shangguan is willing to help, whether he can succeed after agreeing to help, every step is full of variables, the matter is revealed, and the ninth prince will be reprimanded at most, but he may lose his life.

"It is useless to try, for if this thing is known, you will surely die. Xue Niang seemed to have guessed Huan Nu's thoughts, and said lightly.

"Please give me some advice. ”

"Since the Ninth Prince likes you, you should tell her about your madness. ”

Gu Shenwei became more and more surprised, but Xue Niang was even more calm, took a sip of the teacup, and continued: "It is said that there is a medical prescription hidden in the wooden knife of the Six Killing Palace, which has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and you need it to save your life." ”

"Yes. Gu Shenwei understood Xue Niang's plan.

"If she says that Jinpeng Castle is as good as a cloud, she will find someone to treat you, what do you say?"

I said...... I practice the foreign exercises, and the internal skills of Jinpeng Fort will only aggravate the demon. ”

"Well, that's good. Do not be afraid, for when you get the sword, I will keep it for a while, and then you will return it to the Lord, and no one will find out. ”

"Yes. ”

Xue Niang stood up, "Tomorrow I will send you into the inner house to serve the Ninth Prince." ”

"But the Lord has promised me to be an apprentice killer......"

"Hmm, you want to be a killer?" Xue Niang's voice froze.

"No, I'm going to get that wooden knife for Xue Niang. ”

Xue Niang walked to the door, turned around and said, "The killer is not invincible, I will teach you more powerful martial arts." ”

"Yes, thank you Xue Niang for your kindness. ”

Xue Niang left, Gu Shenwei sat on the kang, carefully thinking about the task that Xue Niang gave him, after a while, he put on his shoes on the kang, and went out to Dongbao, the nameless sword book, he had to flip through it again, he felt that he had vaguely found a way to interpret it.

The gate of the east fort was closed, and the small door was also closed, Gu Shenwei tried to knock on the door, but there was no response from inside, and he couldn't help but be surprised, for several months, he was able to enter smoothly every day, and he never encountered an obstacle.

Gu Shenwei walked towards the school again.

Dozens of companions gathered at the entrance of the academy as usual, all of them staring straight at Huan Nu, as if he was a death row prisoner who had been escorted to the execution ground.

Gu Shenwei slowed down and looked at these slaves vigilantly, could it be that he had inadvertently broken the rules and offended someone?

Qingnu came out of the crowd, his eyes were complicated, there were jealousy, resentment, confusion and timidity, "What are you still doing?" his voice was dry.

"I ......" Gu Shenwei was speechless for a while, indeed, he hadn't come to the door of the school for a long time to wait, "Jiugong...... Are the two sons here?"

"It's none of your business here, don't ask, you should know the rules of the fort. ”

Qing Nu's answer became harder and harder, Gu Shenwei had to turn around and leave, and the people behind him immediately began to talk like a flock of birds, "...... the Ninth Prince" and "How could it be ......" The words reached his ears and disappeared.

Gu Shenwei left the school, not knowing what to do, Xue Niang said that she would send him into the inner house, it seems that he has to wait.

In the evening of the same day, he still went to meet Xue Niang as usual, and Xue Niang had nothing to say this time, so he quickly sent him away.

In the courtyard, he met the Emerald Maiden.

Cui Nu was ordered by the young lady to gouge out her eyes and cut her tongue, but after that, she unexpectedly became the favored trust of the young lady, Gu Shenwei sympathized with her, especially the name she took in Jinpeng Castle was the same as her sister Gu Cuilan, but she had never had a relationship with her.

Gu Shenwei stood aside and made way for him.

The Emerald Girl smiled at him, she had a magical ability to identify herself by the sound of her footsteps, sometimes more accurately than someone who was deaf and discerning.

The Emerald Girl walked past him and slipped him a note.

Gu Shenwei returned to the stone house, lit the oil lamp, and opened the note, which read, "Second watch, outside the southeast wall."

Lao Zhang is still in the stable, and he will not return to the house until he sleeps.

Gu Shenwei lit the note and burned it.

He didn't trust anyone, and there was no longer the only time in his life that he had the opportunity to trust others, but when he was about to pass the second watch, he still came to the southeast wall of the main courtyard as agreed, and stood against the corner of the wall facing the stone house, and if anyone asked, he would say that he had a stone in his shoe.

The Emerald Girl doesn't seem to be capable of assassinating him.

As soon as the gong of the second watch stopped, a voice came out, "Huan Nu, are you there?"

Gu Shenwei was taken aback, because the sound came from the wall, he hummed, leaned close to the wall and searched carefully, and soon found a thumb-sized hole, and someone in it was talking to him through the hole, and the voice sounded familiar.

"Slave, is that you?"

"Yes. ”

Gu Shenwei was even more surprised, Cui Nu actually passed the word for the slave! This was something he could never have imagined, and since the contest last year, the slave's attitude towards him had been very cold, even hostile.

"How ......"

"I don't have time to go into details, I just want to tell you one thing, no matter what Xue Niang asks you to do, you have to find an excuse to delay. ”

"What do you know?"

Gu Shenwei asked vigilantly, maybe this was Xue Niang testing his loyalty.

"Fool, think about it, if Xue Niang gets what she wants, she will definitely kill the three of us immediately. ”

The slave looked frightened and impatient, and immediately plugged the hole with a stick.

Gu Shenwei walked back to the stone house quickly, thinking in his heart who the "three of us" the slave said.
