When the killer finds himself about to fall into a trap, he will always flee quickly instead of fighting desperately, and Nie Zeng is the same, he is like stepping on a spike on the ground, jumping up, jumping out of the room, and almost losing his footing when he lands, and fleeing in embarrassment.

It was just a moment's work, Gu Shenwei was gone, Nie Zeng ran to the main room, and rushed in without knocking on the door, a fire rose in his heart, no more, no less, enough for him to be presumptuous in front of Gu Shenwei, "You know, you must know." ”

"What do you know?" Gu Shenwei was slightly surprised, he had just entered the house not long ago, before he lit the oil lamp and was snuffing out the velvet head with his hand.

Nie Zeng blushed, made a move that was incompatible with the killer, and reached out to scratch the corner of his forehead twice, "Do you know that Tie Linglong will definitely not kill Chu Nanping?"

Gu Shenwei sat down in the chair and suddenly wanted to laugh, for the first time in many years, the smile was so strong, he had to hum a long sigh, "How old are you this year?"

Nie Zeng was stunned, "There are still two months and twenty-two left." ”

"It's not small, the little Khan must have given you a lot of women, right?"

Nie Zeng was flustered, he was not ready to have this kind of conversation with Gu Shenwei, in his mind, he had never belonged to the group of people closest to the Dragon King, "Ah? King Khan...... I...... No, he didn't, I've been practicing martial arts all these years......"

"It's not an interrogation, there's no need to be nervous, confession is usually a better cover-up, and you're revealing more information than you're telling the truth. ”

Nie Zeng scratched his forehead again, and had to admit that the gap between himself and the person in front of him was too big, "King Khan only gave me a few masters, not women, but ...... There was a woman who said she would wait for me. ”

"Hmm. Gu Shenwei showed a little curiosity.

Nie Zeng suddenly confessed that it was indeed a better means of concealment, and after saying this, his heart was no longer flustered, and he could clearly control his emotions again, "She is the daughter of a guard." I like martial arts, and King Khan invited my master for me, and she also studied with her for a while, and then we were together. When I left a year ago, she said she would wait for me, but neither of us expected it to take so long. ”

Nie Zeng didn't give himself too much hope, so that he wouldn't be too disappointed.

"Is she interested in your past?"

"What? She used to ask me about my childhood. He also said that he wanted to go back to his hometown with me. "Nie Zeng has been away from home for many years, and he doesn't even know if his parents are still alive.

"Then she'll wait for you. Gu Shenwei said that he was not so sure in his heart, he just wanted to take a small risk, and took speculation as confidence, "You also have to live for her." ”

"Yes. Nie Zeng rarely thought of the woman on the grassland. But after chatting with Gu Shenwei for a few words, he found that he missed her very much.

"I want you to do something for me, but you have to come back alive. ”

Gu Shenwei's voice became as cold and serious as before, and Nie Zeng also put away his thoughts and nodded solemnly.

"Later, you go out through the gate, make sure you're not being followed, and then come back and keep an eye on the house. Follow the first person who leaves secretly, whoever he is, and after finding out who he has met with, don't do anything, come back and report to me immediately. ”

"Yes. ”

Nie Zeng turned around and was just about to leave, when Gu Shenwei answered his initial question, "Chu Nanping was ruined by the ruthless swordsmanship, and continuing to practice is a dead end." There is still no way out of giving up swordsmanship, he is very pitiful, but no one can help him. Tie Linglong is different, she is worth saving and can be saved, no matter what she does to Chu Nanping, as long as she is at ease and will not regret it. That's my purpose, that's all. ”

"You really don't care about Chu Nanping?" Nie Zeng still didn't believe it.

"Like you, I don't have hope for things that I can't do. ”

Nie Zeng understood. Bowing down and exiting the room, thinking that Gu Shenwei must know Chu Nanping very well, because the two are extremely similar in some ways: Chu Nanping is obsessed with ruthless swordsmanship, Gu Shenwei is immersed in the Book of the Dead, the former gives up swordsmanship and loses the will to continue to live, while the latter walks on the edge, careful not to let himself fall into it, and not to let himself go too far.

Nie Zeng glanced back, Gu Shenwei's figure was reflected in the window, motionless, like a dummy, Nie Zeng knew that he was not qualified to be nosy, but he still couldn't help but think, the dragon king's road is getting narrower and narrower, will he repeat the mistakes of Chu Nanping in the end? Or on the contrary, accidentally swallowed by the dead?

It was already late at night, and there were still several rooms with lights on, even if he was not good at intrigues, Nie Zeng could smell strong suspicion and vigilance in the air, and he was also curious about who the first person to leave secretly would be.

There was no light in the room between Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong, and no sound came out, Nie Zeng felt a sense of loss, not as strong as he thought, he just finally confirmed the fact that he had always refused to accept before: Tie Linglong and Chu Nanping were really together.

Nie Zeng has practiced hard all these years, and he doesn't know much about men and women, so he doubts how effective this trick is on Chu Nanping, "Haven't you been together for several years?" He muttered in a low voice, startling himself, and hurriedly quickened his pace, still feeling difficult to understand and accept Tie Linglong's choice.

Walking on the street, Nie Zeng immediately returned to normal, except for the task given to him by Gu Shenwei, he didn't think about anything, his steps were hurried, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere, but in fact, he was walking around the streets and alleys completely aimlessly, and every time he turned a corner, he had to take the opportunity to observe behind him.

No one was following, and Nie Zeng took a quarter of an hour to confirm this, then returned to the vicinity of the official residence, lurking on the edge of a roof facing the gate, merging with the ridge of the roof, ordering himself to abandon all thoughts and concentrate on the task.

The sky was a little overcast, and it was impossible to see clearly from a dozen steps away, Nie Zeng did not focus on one place, but tried to relax as much as possible, only paying attention to moving objects.

The lights in the courtyard were extinguished, and after half an hour, it was completely dark, and the sound of gongs was heard in the distance, and midnight had passed, and no one had come out.

After another half an hour, someone finally moved, not one, but three.

The three of them walked out of the house generously and talked to each other, it turned out to be a disciple of a small sect, and they were ordered to come out to inspect, and they were quite complaining.

Nie Zeng was not fooled, the three of them spoke in a relaxed tone, but as soon as they went out, they looked around, obviously with another purpose, he shrunk his body into a ball, even if ordinary people saw it, it was difficult to imagine that this would be a big living person.

The three of them slowly disappeared into the darkness, Nie Zeng still didn't move, he had just figured out the nearby road and knew how to catch up with the target as quickly as possible.

The two of them returned, no longer chatting, but looked around very seriously, their bodies were extremely agile, Nie Zengzheng wondered, less than ten steps away, a figure passed by silently, and the third person jumped onto the street and nodded at the other two, indicating that there was no problem.

Nie Zeng was slightly taken aback, these three people had just shown extraordinary skills, and they were definitely not ordinary sect disciples.

One of them gave up his hand, turned and left again, while the other two watched him walk away and then looked in the opposite direction.

Nie Zeng didn't dare to move, he silently counted in his heart to calculate the time, the longer he waited, the larger the range he wanted to search later, if that person performed light skills, it would be more difficult to find the target.

When he counted to thirty, Nie Zeng couldn't wait any longer, and was just about to risk being discovered to catch up, when a person suddenly jumped out of the yard.

The man was quite good, landed silently, and quickly jumped onto the roof across the street, jumping not far from Nie Zeng.

Tracking the first person who quietly left the mansion was the task given to him by Gu Shenwei, but Nie Zeng was faced with a choice at this time: the first person to disappear was obviously one of the people in the rivers and lakes asked by Miao Sanwen, he had no impression, and the second person was closer, and he recognized the identity of the other party - Zhou Yuqing, the senior disciple of the Kongtong Sect.

Nie Zeng had to make a decision in an instant, and he leaned against the roof and followed Zhou Yuqing.

Tracking a master must not be too close, Nie Zeng is fast and slow, most of the time he stays out of sight, occasionally catching up and taking a look, speculating on Zhou Yuqing's route, this is not too difficult, ordinary people have their own habits, and they will not change easily, Zhou Yuqing obviously doesn't like to fly on the wall, and soon returned to the ground and walked along the streets, which made it easier for Nie Zeng to follow.

Nie Zeng had an intuition that Zhou Yuqing also had a tracking target, and it was likely that he was the first to disappear.

After following the distance of three streets, his guess was confirmed, and Zhou Yuqing also began to slow down, occasionally stopping to observe, his skills were very skilled, if it wasn't for the situation behind him being too careless, Nie Zeng felt that this Kongtong sect disciple could be a killer.

The Golden Gate is not big, Nie Zeng followed Zhou Yu out of the city wall, because the cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan came, most of the residents outside the city moved into the city, and the households were deserted, and some families did not even close the door.

Zhou Yuqing stopped, hid in the corner of the street, and stood against the wall.

Nie Zeng found a problem, he couldn't hide Zhou Yuqing and ran to the front, so he couldn't know which house the first person entered and who he met.

He remembered that Gu Shenwei had said "come back alive", and he really wanted to live, so he patiently stopped on the roof diagonally opposite, from here condescendingly, just overlooking the street corner, although Zhou Yuqing was hiding in the dark, as long as he moved, he could still be discovered.

When it was time to test his patience, Zhou Yuqing revealed the difference between him and the killer, in less than two quarters of an hour, he moved four times, although he only moved his steps slightly, it was still a big flaw.

The person who Zhou Yuqing was following appeared, and sure enough, it was a disciple of the small sect who had left the mansion before, and Nie Zeng recognized his way of walking.

The man probably didn't expect to be followed, so he walked quickly, he had completed his mission and was about to return to the city.

Zhou Yuqing moved again, and Nie Zeng understood that the disciples of the Kongtong faction were going to carry out assassination.

However, the "assassination" in the Central Plains is not the same thing as the Western Regions, when the two were separated by more than ten steps, Zhou Yuqing actually walked out of the invisible place, stood on the street, and blocked the way.

The man was startled, reached out and grasped the hilt of his sword, looked at each other for a moment, and let out a short laugh, "So I still haven't hidden it from you. ”

Nie Zeng guessed the true face of this person, he was not a disciple of the small sect, but the head of the Songshan faction, Ji Fuwei.
