Chapter 447: Falling House
There are no traps inside the ancestral temple.
There are no ambushed killers, no unexpected secret passages and secret rooms, no Chu Nanping and Hu Shining, and no killer apprentices who should be loyal to the Dragon King.
Twenty dragon soldiers were stationed at the main entrance, patrolling in shifts, the priests and miscellaneous servants had rested, and the entire ancestral temple was quiet.
Gu Shenwei and Han Fen avoided the soldiers, and went around twice inside and out, but did not find any suspicious signs.
Gu Shenwei suddenly understood that he was almost fooled, Shangguan Yun deliberately sent three children to die, just to provoke the Dragon King and let him send the Dragon Army to sweep the ancestral temple, thus provoking the dissatisfaction of the people of Huiguo.
It was not only Gu Shenwei who was almost deceived, but also the lotus girl, she also thought that the ancestral temple would be a trap, so she assigned Han Fen to monitor here.
Han Fen was probably discovered early in the morning, and those suspicious characters who occasionally came in and out were just tricks to confuse her.
However, Han Fen didn't feel this, she had prevented the Dragon King from entering the Ancestral Temple, that was the task assigned by the Imperial Master and the Lotus Girl, once she was completed, she would obey the Dragon King's orders, whether the Ancestral Temple had traps or not, she didn't care.
In fact, after discovering that Dubu's most trusted son was hiding in the ancestral temple, the dragon king's normal course of action should have been to send an army to calm the place, and it was a wrong and impulsive decision to venture alone, but it avoided a killing that could bring evil results.
Everyone has their own intrigues and tricks, and Gu Shenwei has to slowly understand Shangguan Yun's style.
Gu Shenwei has always been accustomed to speculating on others with malice, but he always feels incomprehensible about Shangguan Yun's transformation.
He clearly remembered that Shangguan Yun was locked in a stone prison, looking at the moon outside the window, showing a poet-like smile, this young master who looked very similar to his father, cared for his youngest sister, disdained a cold killer, was sad and angry at the misfortunes of his friends and lovers, and even tried to assassinate his murderous father in the past.
Every feature on Shangguan Yun's body is incompatible with the stone castle on the top of the peak, Gu Shenwei sometimes thinks that sooner or later Shangguan Ru will become like her third brother, but he didn't expect that it will be Shangguan Yun who will change, the rebel who once swore in public never to pull out the narrow knife, will return to the old path of the family after going around a huge circle.
Shangguan Yun had already obtained the title of King Xiaowan, so why did he even take risks and come to the remote Huiguo? And spend two months laying out complicated traps, just to make the Dragon King lose the hearts of the people?
Gu Shenwei once again felt incomprehensible.
Han Fen is a good killer, and the cooperation with the Dragon King is very tacit, but it is not as quiet as the Lotus Girl, and when she found that the Dragon King was relaxed, she automatically ended the protection task, and came up and said: "The inside is not as big as the outside, it is estimated that it will be better during the day." ”
If this was a lotus girl, Gu Shenwei would discuss the current situation with her, but for this Xiaoyue Hall disciple, it would take a lot of effort to clarify the situation, let alone seek advice.
"Come with me. Gu Shenwei has already decided what to do next.
Han Fen seemed to have a mechanism in her mind that could automatically switch between a madwoman and a killer, and as soon as the Dragon King gave the order, she immediately changed into a person, retreated into the shadows a few steps away, and dutifully guarded the Dragon King's side and back.
Gu Shenwei had walked in the palace the first few times, but this time he bypassed the main gate and the guards and sneaked in quietly.
The queen was sleeping, and the little prince, who was almost ten years old, was also sleeping, lying beside his mother, as if he was having nightmares, and from time to time he screamed.
The queen was not asleep, and as soon as her son called, she subconsciously slapped twice.
The little prince sat up suddenly, looked up at the vague figure in front of the bed, merged it with the dream, fell down and fell asleep, and after a while, reason told him that it was not a dream.
He pushed his mother awake.
When the queen opened her eyes, she instantly felt an irrepressible anger, and the dragon king's humiliation of her became worse and worse each time, as if she were the lowest female slave in the palace.
"You don't deserve to be called the 'Dragon King'. The queen had already decided to give in, but her anger made her forget her decision during the day, "Not even worthy of being a man, if you still have a little respect for the dead King Hui, please go out." ”
"Respect?" Gu Shenwei asked sarcastically, it was because of this woman's deliberate concealment that he wasted a lot of precious time, "When you got along with him, King Hui was still alive, right?"
"What did you say?" the queen sat up abruptly, still clutching the quilt in front of her, dressed in her tight nightgowns.
"Who's doing it, you or him?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about?" the queen's tone softened, but she didn't give up her resistance.
"Shangguan Jianyi, every time you mention this name, you feel a little uncomfortable, because in your heart, 'he' has another deep meaning, and you really don't want to settle on others. ”
Shangguan Yun probably used his uncle's name at first to deceive the ministers of Huiguo and the group of killer apprentices, and only the queen knew his true identity.
Gu Shenwei still knows too little about women's minds, although he has always felt that the queen has something to hide, but he has not figured out the direction, and he has changed Xu Yanwei, and he can see that the queen has a special relationship with that "him" early on.
"Do you know everything?" asked the queen warily.
"Almost, tell me, how did King Hui die?" Gu Shenwei didn't really care about the cause of King Hui's death, he used this as the beginning of his question, wanting to lead the queen to tell the truth.
"It's not my hand, it's none of my business. The queen said bluntly, but it was tantamount to admitting that King Hui had died in vain.
"Why did he kill King Hui?"
"King Hui was confused, reacted coldly to his proposal, and...... He killed for me, so, count it on my head, I hate that old thing, and I'll only be happy when he's dead. ”
"The Queen Mother. The little prince called out timidly, he was very clever and arrogant, and he had a little affection for his father after all, and suddenly he couldn't accept it when he heard his mother's words so ruthlessly.
"Cover your ears. The queen commanded coldly.
The little prince obediently did so, and closed his eyes as before, for he knew when he could be a scoundrel in front of his mother, and when he should be honest and obedient.
"Only he is the savior of Huiguo. The queen began to gush, since the dragon king already knew everything, there was no point in pretending again, "You are not his opponent, no one is his opponent, you want to kill me, although it is good to do it, but I still have to advise the dragon king, spend more time to arrange a way back for yourself." ”
Shangguan Yun seems to have the ability to make all the people who follow him die, the queen and the killer apprentice are like this, they have only known Shangguan Yun for two months, and further back, the Wu madman in Wangcheng Lane, even Gu Shenwei's master Tie Hanfeng, such a cynical person, has always maintained respect for the third young master.
"Where is he?"
Shangguan Yun disappeared for two months, and he must have returned to the capital of Huiguo, and he did not bring back the army, but he still had to challenge the Dragon King.
The queen was silent for a moment, as if determined not to betray her loved one, she said the word "he" in a long voice, and then quickly said the secret that had been hidden in her heart, "Here it is." ”
The end of the word "he" was not over, and two killers appeared under the bed and the ceiling at the same time, cooperating inseamlessly, attacking the dragon king together.
This is not an underage killer apprentice, but a real Jinpeng killer.
Gu Shen pulled out the Wufeng knife and slashed at the killer who fell from the sky.
Although the knife was fired at the same time, it was drilled out from under the bed, and the movement was always a little slower, so Gu Shen was the first to deal with the assassin with the highest threat, leaving the second person to his helper.
Han Fen proved her strength and loyalty, when she was serious, she could completely replace the position of the lotus girl, as soon as the dragon king took out the knife, she also flashed through the crack in the door, ten fingers into claws, and pounced on the assassin under the bed.
The four of them fought each other, and no one made a sound.
The queen's heart hung nervously, and the little prince also opened his eyes, his cheeks flushed with excitement, but before he could cheer out, the battle on the dragon king's side was over.
The assassin exchanged four or five moves with the dragon king, and when he attacked again, he passed by the dragon king, the first two steps were normal, the last three steps became staggering, and finally hit the wall and fell limply.
In fact, Han Fen's battle is also over, but he is acting a little slower.
The assassin was still wielding his sword, and it was faster, and Han Fen seemed to be in danger, but after a few moves, even the queen, who didn't know martial arts, could see that the assassin was slashing indiscriminately to protect himself, and he couldn't see the target at all.
The real Xiaoyue Tang disciples' killing methods are different from those of other sects, Gu Shenwei can see the clues, the queen mother and son can't figure out what happened at all, and they think they have encountered a demon girl.
"Don't come here. The queen snapped.
"Won't he come to save you personally?" Gu Shenwei stepped forward, and the tip of the knife was placed on the side of the bed.
"You're going to die a bad death. "The queen has a curse, and then she has to fulfill it.
The ground shook suddenly, as if it was about to be turned upside down.
Gu Shenwei and Han Fen searched everywhere for enemies, but found nothing.
Their feet were still on the ground, but they felt their bodies falling, everything was falling, Gu Shenwei had seen many underground secret rooms, but none of them had such a large scale: the whole room was a mechanism, sinking to the ground, the walls and ceilings had not changed, only the doors and windows had not changed, and they could no longer be opened.
The little prince threw himself into his mother's arms and screamed in fear, but the queen smiled, and although she was trapped with the dragon king, she was full of confidence, believing that he would kill the dragon king and save herself.
A smile flashed, and after the room sank into the ground, the last rays of moonlight were blocked out, and it was completely plunged into darkness.
Except for the screams of the little prince, no one spoke, and everyone waited in the dark.
After a while, the little prince stopped calling, and a somewhat lazy voice spoke, "Huannu, long time no see." ”
"It's still invisible. ”
"Don't worry, wait for me to light the lamp. ”
There was a lamp on the wall, the light was rapidly expanding like a balloon, but there was no one in front of the lamp.
There was a small dark window next to the lamp, which was slowly pushed open, and a smiling face appeared outside, "You used to look at me through the fence, but now it's the other way around." ”
Shangguan Yun's appearance has not changed at all.
