Chapter 905: Everything
Gu Shenwei's actions were whimsical, Fang Wenshi, Zhong Heng and the others would never agree, but none of them were by the Dragon King's side, and the loyal guards bowed to the Dragon King and would never ask about the Dragon King's whereabouts.
Chu Nanping, Tie Linglong and others were on standby at any time, and after thinking about it for a while, Gu Shenwei decided to act alone tonight, because even he himself didn't think about the whole plan, he just felt that time was tight and had to do it.
In the daytime meeting scene that he recalled repeatedly, Gu Shenwei finally realized that he had overlooked something, he paid too much attention to Dubu Wang, Wei Song and Luo Qikang, and treated Sun Chengqi, who spoke the most, as an inconsequential bystander, and as a result, he missed the most important person behind the deputy envoy.
Eunuch Zhang You, standing humbly behind Sun Chengqi, pouring tea and water for him, every movement was so slight that it did not attract attention, worthy of being a slave from the palace, Gu Shenwei searched carefully in his mind, and then remembered that Zhang You was also serving Wei Song, although it was not his duty at all.
Wei Song and Sun Chengqi sat on the right hand of the abbot Fa Feng, only a small table was separated, Zhang You naturally served the two adults at the same time, Gu Shenwei saw it at the time, but he didn't care.
In retrospect, this was an unusual move, Zhang You was given by the emperor to the envoy Ma Lian, and had nothing to do with the protector of the Western Regions, Wei Song brought his own entourage, and that person stood side by side with Luo Qikang, but he couldn't intervene from beginning to end.
Adding tea is a very ordinary action, and there are only three or four times in the whole process, Gu Shenwei can't remember the details, but he has a hunch that Zhang You is giving a hint to Wei Song, and Wei Song will in turn notify the Dubu King on the other side, so the two of them will cancel the trap that has been arranged.
Zhang You is just an ordinary eunuch in the palace, why does he have such great power, and why does he "help" the dragon king in a critical moment?
Gu Shenwei felt that this matter was extremely important, and he had to figure it out immediately.
It is not easy to infiltrate the camp of the Central Plains envoys, it is located in the Wei Song military camp, enjoying the layers of protection of 10,000 Central Plains soldiers, and there may be killers secretly sent by the Dubu King to lurk nearby.
Gu Shenwei spent nearly two hours observing the situation, and finally confirmed that there were no Jinpeng killers in the barracks, and although the defense here was tight, it was not specifically to block the killers.
He forgot that this was a Central Plains army, not the Dragon Army and the Jinpeng Army, which were always on the lookout for assassination.
Although Zhang You can secretly command the supreme governor of the Western Regions, he is still a waiter in name and will not live in the main tent, although the envoy team is not large, there are more than a dozen tents, Gu Shenwei can only search one by one.
He let go of those tents that sounded obvious to be shared by several people, there were three tents where one person lived alone, the first was the main tent, where the deputy envoy Sun Chengqi lived, the second seemed to be a military attachΓ©, snoring shook the sky, and the third was relatively quiet, only a slight breathing sound, not the length of the martial arts master, but the qi deficiency of the infirm.
This tent has an ordinary appearance, no different from other small tents, and as soon as he enters, Gu Shenwei can feel the difference: ordinary attendants can only rely on felt blankets and clothes to keep warm, but here there is a brazier.
Gu Shenwei didn't act rashly, stood in the corner and hid for a while, and through the faint light of the brazier, he recognized that the sleeper was Zhang You, who he had seen during the day.
He waited, and sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a sleepy-eyed handyman entered, carefully stirred the charcoal in the brazier to keep it burning, and then quietly withdrew and returned to his cold tent.
Zhang You was probably still affected by some influence, and turned over slightly.
Gu Shenwei walked over, and the first thing he did was to press the sleeper's mouth.
Zhang You's sleep is very shallow, since he entered the Western Regions, far away from the houses and food in the Central Plains, he has not slept steadily, but he still couldn't hear the sound of the Dragon King approaching, until his mouth was covered, he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes in horror, struggled twice and gave up, he recognized who the intruder was.
Gu Shenwei raised his right index finger at the side of his mouth, and Zhang You tried to nod and blink, indicating that he obeyed orders and would never shout.
Gu Shenwei slowly moved his palm, Zhang You took a deep breath, it was not that his breathing was affected, he just wanted to relieve his nervousness, there was naturally a matter of arresting people in the middle of the night in the palace, but a person with a high status broke in like a killer in the middle of the night, which had never happened in the Central Plains.
Wasn't the Dragon King a killer in the past? Zhang You then remembered, "You, you...... Dragon King...... What does this mean?"
"You should understand. Gu Shenwei said.
Zhang You barely squeezed out a smile, "The Dragon King really thinks highly of me, I'm just an ordinary waiter......"
Gu Shenwei turned his head and glanced at the brazier that was burning brightly, Zhang You's face changed, such a luxurious enjoyment, even the deputy envoy Sun Chengqi and the general in the battalion did not have it, and he was not ordinary at all.
Zhang You sat up and wrapped his body tightly with a thick blanket, "Anyway, the Dragon King is also the overlord of the Western Regions, and now it's like this...... can have the demeanor of a loser. β
"My 'style' is different from that of the Central Plains. "Every time you ask someone to tell the truth, you have to go through a lot of verbal sparring first, and Gu Shenwei doesn't like it, but there is no way to omit it.
Zhang You frowned, not so flustered, "Okay, follow the customs of the locals, according to the rules of the Western Regions, what advice does the Dragon King have for me? β
This is sarcasm and provocation, let it go, the other party will never tell the truth, Gu Shenwei slapped a palm and hit Zhang You through the blanket.
A tiny cold and icy energy was driven by the master and entered the empty meridians, Zhang You had no internal strength, and had no ability to resist this cold qi, his body shook, and in a blink of an eye, his upper and lower teeth fought, and the tent that was as warm as spring suddenly turned into an ice cave.
Zhang You couldn't stand this kind of torture, and finally understood what the "style" of the Dragon King was, which was completely different from the nobles of the Central Plains.
He couldn't open his mouth to beg for mercy, so he could only nod his head while shedding tears.
Gu Shen injected a pure Sumeru mustard true qi to expel the chill in Zhang You's body.
Zhang You grabbed the corner of the blanket, wiped away his snot and tears, his face was embarrassed, and he was a little unnatural when he spoke, "The Dragon King really doesn't ...... False rumors, you say, what do you want me to do?"
"Answer a few questions. β
"I know everything. β
Gu Shenwei was silent, Zhang You waited for a while, looking confused, "What does the Dragon King want to ask?"
"Everything. β
"Everything, hehe, the dragon king looks up to ......" Zhang You hurriedly stopped, he hadn't forgotten the lesson just now, "I don't understand what the dragon king means by everything?"
"Think about it, but I can't wait long. β
Zhang You's face changed again, and he regretted that he didn't know more about the rules of the Western Regions before he came, "Actually...... During the day in the Four Noble Truths, I did the Dragon King a great favor. β
"Well, go on. β
"Wei Duhu felt that the Dragon King was very dangerous, so he made a plan with the Dubu King, wanting to put the charge of assassinating the envoy on the head of the Dragon King and Mrs. Luo, and then get rid of the Dragon King openly, because of the relationship between that woman, King Xiao, who was far away in the Central Plains, did not dare to investigate deeply. But I don't think the Dragon King is a threat to the Central Plains, on the contrary, he is still a good ally, so I suggest that Wei Duhu abandon the plan. β
"Your advice is valid. β
"I'm just a lowly slave in the palace, and the guards look up to me and give me a little thin face. β
"Well, so you knew Wei Song and Shangguan Fa's plan in advance?"
"Yes......" Zhang You replied reluctantly.
"Why did Wei Song tell you?"
"He, he's afraid that the deputy will make Lord Sun see the flaw, so he hopes that I can control Lord Sun. β
"But you changed your mind temporarily and didn't want to support Wei Song. β
"IβI think...... I think it's a pity that the dragon king is so tricked, and it is not good for the Central Plains to let the Jinpeng Castle family dominate, and after seeing the dragon king with my own eyes, I ...... That's just how I figured it out. β
"I want the truth. Gu Shenwei said, slapped Zhang You on the chest again, and then turned to stand next to the brazier, roasting his hands while thinking about his thoughts.
Less than half an hour later, Zhang You couldn't help it, rolled off the bed, trembling and kowtowing to the Dragon King to beg for mercy.
Gu Shenwei waited for a while before expelling the chill for him.
Zhang You lay on the ground with a pale face and gasped, "I, I said, to tell the truth, but, but can the Dragon King ...... Give me a hint, what the hell do you want to know?"
"Everything. β
"I don't understand......"
"A hint for you - the Central Plains Gu clan, Shenwu General Gu Lun. β
Zhang You's face showed that he did know something inside, "Dragon King...... Gu's ...... This one...... I can't ......."
Gu Shenwei raised his palm, and Zhang You immediately changed from "can't" to "can't", "Wait, I said, I'll wrap the quilt first." β
Zhang You knelt on the ground, grabbed the blanket and wrapped himself, leaned his back against the edge of the bed, and said for a while, "Can the Dragon King keep a secret?"
"Yes. β
The Dragon King's promise was insincere, but Zhang You could only choose to believe it, "The truth is so, I was ordered to investigate the true identity of the Dragon King." β
"On whose orders?"
"Yan Qin, the middle attendant. β
Gu Shenwei had never heard of this name, "Whose order is Yan Qin on?"
"I really don't know, Dragon King Kai'en, don't torture me anymore, I really don't know, Yan Changshi's order is already a big deal for me. β
"Go on. β
"Wei Song swore to me that the Dragon King's surname was Yang and he was the son of the Gu family's servant, so I believed it, but when I saw it with my own eyes today, the appearance of the Dragon King and the old general Gu was like a mold carved out, and I immediately understood what was going on, so I ......"
"You say I'm very similar to General Gu?"
"It's not exactly the same, but it can still be seen that the Dragon King is a descendant of the Gu family. β
Zhang You didn't look like he was lying, Gu Shenwei suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, Xiao Yan always hinted that the Dragon King was not Gu Lun's biological son with true and false words, Gu Shenwei was almost about to believe it, and when he learned that he was similar to his father, he untied a knot in his heart.
But he can't remember what his father looked like, he was fourteen years old when Gu Lun was killed, and he kept hatred in his heart every moment since then, but he just couldn't remember the appearance of his family, and even his sister who loved him the most became a blurred shadow.
"Why are you helping the descendants of the Gu family?"
Zhang You swallowed his saliva and glanced behind the Dragon King, "It's a long story, but I want to remind the Dragon King first, Wei Duhu is very afraid of the Dragon King, and he may have left the military camp and fled to Loulan Kingdom......"
Gu Shenwei walked up to Zhang You in one step, pinched his mouth open, and stuffed a pill into it, "This is poison, it will attack within three days, and if you want to live, you will come to me with the truth." β
After that, Gu Shenwei turned around and went out of the account, he couldn't let Wei Song escape again.
Inside the tent, Zhang You breathed a sigh of relief, he finally bought a little time, so that he could make the "story" a little rounder, even if it was worth sacrificing the protector of the Western Regions.
