Chapter 441: Confession

Gu Shenwei had to admit that the little prince's move was very unexpected.

Some short adults can disguise themselves as children, and they are very similar, but the little prince is not, Gu Shenwei will not easily miss anyone he sees, he has carefully observed the little prince, no matter in terms of appearance and behavior, he is a real child.

Children naturally can't have super martial arts, and the little prince shows a very general physical fitness in his gestures, probably usually pampered, and even ordinary sports are rare.

He just didn't expect that this child, who was less than ten years old, would be so good at acting, and that timid, dazed, and helpless demeanor would deceive the Dragon King.

Therefore, Gu Shenwei really ignored this child later, and he paid attention to the queen, the woman who was annoyed and angry.

Gu Shenwei didn't have much time to think about the truth, and he was close in the blink of an eye, and the only reaction he could make was to swing his knife to block.

The secret weapon is violent, as if it was issued by a master with decades of skill.

There were a total of five prismatic darts, Gu Shenwei's knife only blocked four, and the last one shot against his left shoulder, rubbing out an obvious blood mark.

"Hit!" the little prince cheered, not at all nervous or frightened.

"Die. He commanded at the dragon king, as if he had deadly magic.

"Don't go near him. The queen was a little more cautious than her son, but took a step back and carefully observed the dragon king's reaction.

The hidden weapon is poisonous, Gu Shen is grateful to the lotus girl, she left a lot of antidote drugs, which can come in handy at this time.

Gu Shenwei put the Wufeng knife on the table casually, took out three small wooden boxes from his arms, took out different colors of pills from them, and swallowed them, the whole process was very fast, but there was no panic at all.

If this was a special poison, it would be difficult for the antidote left by the Lotus Girl to be effective, but except for Xiaoyue Hall, there was no sect in the entire Western Regions that specialized in developing so many strange secret medicines.

The feeling of paralysis at the wound was controlled, and it no longer spread to the whole body, and Gu Shenwei knew that he was fine.

"Put things down. Gu Shenwei picked up the Wufeng knife again and pointed at the little prince opposite.

The little prince was indeed an ordinary child, and the hidden weapon was fired by a mechanism, and Gu Shenwei saw the steel cylinder he was holding in his hand, which was originally hidden in his sleeve, but now a small section was exposed.

The dragon king didn't die, the little prince was shocked, but he didn't show too much panic, but he was eager to try, as if he wanted to try again.

The tip of the knife was still several feet away from the little prince, and it seemed that the dragon king couldn't reach the target, but the queen who was watching from the side still felt that the advantage was on the dragon king's side.

"Put it down. She also gave orders to her son.

'He's injured and that's the only chance. The little prince didn't want to give up yet, he regretted a little that he hadn't made up for it right away, and his eyes rolled excitedly, showing a bit of the cunning of adults, not at all like an ignorant child.

But he is a child after all, and his intelligence does not make up for his lack of experience, but magnifies his shortcomings.

"As long as he is dead, the dragon army will be torn apart. The little prince raised his arm slightly, intending to make a desperate bet.

"Nope. The queen wanted to stop it, but her clever son had already learned to make up her own minds.

Even if he is a first-class master, he does not dare to send a secret weapon to the Dragon King without losing the opportunity.

The sword flashed, and the seemingly impossible distance of several feet disappeared in an instant.

The little prince stared blankly at the half-cut steel cylinder on the table, which he regarded as a treasure-like device, and next to the copper cylinder, there were four tender fingers, with a distinct royal characteristic: only an extremely pampered child would have such white and flawless skin.

"Ahh

The queen rushed over desperately, hugged her son tightly, but her eyes looked at the dragon king, "Don't kill him, we...... I surrender and tell you everything. ”

Hearing the screams, Long Chuanyun led the guards to rush in, and was startled when he saw the wound on the Dragon King's shoulder.

Outside, the dragon king's direct army has easily occupied the entire palace, and is sending a small detachment to march to an important position in the city to completely control the whole city.

"Take this out and show it to the ministers, and then put up a notice explaining the truth. ”

"Yes. Long Chuanyun didn't know what the "truth" was, so he picked up the handwritten document of Prince Huiguo from the table and walked out, knowing that those ministers would open their mouths to say everything.

"Who gave you this thing?" Gu Shenwei was very interested in the little prince's hidden weapon, this was definitely not something that Huiguo could create, if it had nothing to do with Jinpeng Castle, he would be very surprised.

The queen had already wrapped up her son's severed palm, and she completely admitted defeat, feeling that as long as she told the truth, she could save the lives of the master's mother and son, "A man from Jinpeng Castle." ”

The Dragon King didn't like this vague answer, and the queen immediately explained: "It's Shangguan Jianyi, he ......"

The little prince's severed palm was still oozing blood, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead in pain, and he was not completely convinced, so he interrupted his mother's words, "Don't tell him, Jinpeng Castle will avenge me, I will ...... his fingers and toes"

The knife in Gu Shenwei's hand moved slightly, and the little prince tried to shrink into his mother's arms, panting, but he didn't dare to squeak again, showing submission in front of others for the first time.

This is a pampered child, like a wolf, who will grow up to be a scourge.

Gu Shenwei nodded and motioned for the queen to continue.

"More than a month ago, when the robbers were besieging the city, Shangguan Jianyi came once, he knew about His Majesty's death, and forced us to listen to his orders, saying that we should keep the Dragon King out of the city as much as possible, and if the Dragon King had to come in, he would use this device to kill you, he said that this thing is very useful, and no one can hide from it. ”

"God spit. Like an oversized baby, the little prince tried his best to hide in his mother's arms, without raising his head, saying the name of the device, "The saliva of the gods, the ...... of demons."

The queen slapped her son hard to stop him from talking.

The little prince froze again, his mother's actions made him more stunned and angry than the dragon king's sword, and he struggled to break free from his mother's bondage, and burrowed under the table, revealing a fierce beastly gaze, staring at her viciously.

When Long Chuanyun went out, he left a few guards, Gu Shenwei waved his hand, walked out of the two, dragged the little prince out from under the table, and forced him to sit on the table and stay in the dragon king's line of sight.

The queen watched all this, without interference, and she showed complete obedience, but she was not very skillful enough to hide all the resentment in her heart.

She continued, her tone flat, as if reciting a ready-made article, "Shangguan Jianyi promised that after the war is over, half of the territory of the Sand Kingdom will be annexed to Huiguo, and my son will become the de facto ruler of Xiaoyaohai, and the other kings are all servants of King Dubu, and only we are his allies." ”

"These few words convinced you?" Gu Shenwei didn't believe that there would be such a stupid person in the world, even if the queen mother and son didn't have knowledge, those ministers should understand the hypocrisy of this statement.

"I didn't have a choice. The queen raised her voice slightly, "Moreover, everyone lies, the original promise will always be discounted in the end, but half of the promise of Jinpeng Castle will be fulfilled, and my son's throne can be kept, ...... dragon king."

The promise given by the dragon king was only to keep them from dying, and what it meant after the discount was very clear to the queen.

Gu Shenwei ordered the queen mother and son to be imprisoned in the palace, and then ordered three ministers who were still in good health, escorted by five soldiers, to immediately go to Shiguo to welcome the prince's return to the throne.

The queen's party is left to the new king's disposal.

Lao Wang's body was kept in the ice kiln, and it was so badly decomposed that it could only be vaguely seen in its original appearance.

In the name of mourning, Gu Shenwei invited dozens of representatives from all walks of life in the city to the palace to pay respects to the king's body, and after these people went out, it quickly aroused the anger of the whole city, and thousands of people spontaneously surrounded the palace to execute the insidious queen and ministers.

At the same time, the dragon king suddenly changed from an invader with evil intentions to a savior of the Hui royal family, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that he has been supported by the people since then, at least he is no longer considered an enemy.

That's enough.

Gu Shenwei still lives in tents outside the city, and his direct subordinate troops are also stationed in four or five places inside and outside the city, and can quickly evacuate once something happens.

The city began to trust the dragon king, but the dragon king did not have a crush on him.

The queen's confession was probably true, but she still had to hide it, and Gu Shenwei could see through the woman's turn.

He summoned the embarrassed ministers and the bewildered palace guards, and even the palace maids around the queen, hoping to ask for clues, but the confessions of these people were surprisingly consistent with the queen: more than a month ago, a big man came to Jinpeng Castle to guarantee that the besiegers outside the city would never attack him, and made tempting promises to everyone in exchange for their allegiance.

Everyone hears different promises, but they are certainly the ones that move him the most.

Gu Shenwei still couldn't believe it, and the Huiguo people described Shangguan Jianyi as a magician, and when he recited the incantation in his mouth, everyone bowed their heads to their ears.

But Dugu Xian did say that Shangguan Jianyi is very good at gaining the trust of others.

Gu Shenwei felt that his enemy was stronger than he imagined.

Shangguan Fei has been by the Dragon King's side, and when he heard it, he shook his head, "Wow, my uncle is really powerful, I really don't understand how he was defeated by my mother in the first place, tsk, I knew this, I should have scolded him well when I was a child." ”

These words reminded Gu Shenwei, he knew that he had overlooked something, and immediately ordered someone to summon the official of the Huiguo City Gate.

There were three city gate officials, and they were more respectful to the dragon king than to the previous kings, and they answered all questions.

Gu Shenwei wanted to know the specific time when Shangguan Jianyi entered the city, and who else he was carrying.

The three gate officials swore that they had not seen the people of Jinpeng Castle pass by the city gates, "probably sneaking in." ”

Their official positions are not high, and they have no chance to be wooed by Shangguan Jianyi.

Gu Shenwei changed the question, "Since the siege of the city, have there been any strange people entering the city that have impressed you." ”

Two gate officials shook their heads, and the other shook their heads, but the pace slowed down, "I don't know if this is a strange person, no, he came in before the siege." ”

"It's okay, tell me about this person. ”

"Well, he's not really weird, it's just ...... Obviously a woman, but she had to pretend to be a man, with a sword on her body, cold, at that time, we all said, is this a concubine who wants to enter the palace, but then we didn't hear that the king married again, and soon the siege occurred, and I didn't see her go out. ”

The woman pretending to be a man, "Could it be my sister?" Shangguan Fei said suspiciously.

Shangguan Ruyuan is far away in the country of incense, and she is only equipped with a wooden knife, and she can't use a sword, Gu Shenwei's heart moved, thinking of another person, but he didn't know what this had to do with Shangguan Jianyi.
