The news of the Dragon King's awakening soon spread, and the Xiao Yan clan and the new Yao King Tosai immediately sent someone to invite him to discuss important matters, Fang Wen smiled and said, "They want to see the dragon king alive with their own eyes, and if you can kill someone in public, they will be even happier." ”

Gu Shenwei asked the military advisor to deal with it first, "I will leave in an hour." ”

Fang Wen is more and more aware of the Dragon King's thoughts and routines, "The Dragon King is seriously injured and has not fully recovered, I will explain to them, the Dragon King is slowly moving forward behind, and his body is heavy." ”

Gu Shenwei also wanted to meet a few more people, these people were like old weapons that had been accumulated for a long time, and they could be turned into sharp weapons by simply wiping and polishing.

The first person is Hu Shining, the former teacher of the Jinpeng Fort Carving Academy, when he fell into the slums of Biyu Nancheng, he was received by Gu Shenwei under his command, and specially trained a young killer for him.

Gu Shenwei firmly believed that this teacher was not a mediocre talent, and all he lacked was time, so during the period of the Wandering Sea, even when he needed help the most, he did not use the team of not very mature killers, but instead handed over all the good seedlings he brought from the Savage Forest and the Land of Incense to Hu Shining, asking him to train them wholeheartedly.

Nearly a year passed, and Hu Shining finally completed a complete training process, without interference or attention, and he reported the results to the Dragon King, "Twenty people are available." ”

Gu Shenwei handed over nearly 200 teenagers to him before and after, and in the end only twenty were available, which has met the initial expectations, "I want to prove it." ”

So, Hu Shining led twenty teenage killers to set off from Xiaoyaohai, and under the guidance of the guide, went deep into the eastern desert of the Western Regions, rescued Han Wuxian from Xiaoyue Hall, killed four disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, and did not lose a single person.

In the tent, Hu Shining respectfully greeted the Dragon King and called in the twenty teenage killers in groups for a simple allegiance ceremony.

Killers must have masters, there is no choice here, there are no constraints, they will become mad dogs that bite everywhere, and they will die early in order to harm others.

Gu Shenwei noticed that the young man named Nie Zeng was also among them, this young man originally came to seek revenge against the Dragon King on behalf of his uncle's family, but in the end he became a killer apprentice.

The allegiance ceremony is similar to the procedure of Jinpeng Castle, the killers kneel on one leg, report their names, say a few clichés, and when they are about to drip blood from their fingertips into a bowl of water, Gu Shenwei calls a halt.

"Wait a minute, the blood oath is not in a hurry. ”

Hu Shining showed a look of surprise, and Gu Shenwei added an explanation, "I want to change the way, a more ancient way." ”

He still remembered the books he had read in the Stone Castle, which clearly stated that many years ago, the Golden Wings Killer had to kill an enemy with his master to form a blood oath, and drinking blood was just a simplified and simplified variant.

Few people in Jinpeng Castle still remembered these things, and Hu Shining actually knew a thing or two, "Swear by the blood of the enemy, I think they are all ready." ”

The half-allegiance ceremony ended quickly, and Hu Shining reported to the Dragon King about the situation in the past few days, "I have arranged secret posts in most of the necessary positions, and I have not found any abnormalities, as far as I can see, the enemy has never tried to infiltrate the camp, but there are still a few loopholes that have not been filled, and there are not enough manpower. ”

Hu Shining only had twenty young killers under his command, and even if he added more than forty Great Snow Mountain swordsmen, it was less than a hundred, which was far from enough to defend the camp of two thousand people.

Gu Shenwei wrote down this matter, "Remove the iron chains on Han Wuxian's feet." ”

Hu Shining adhered to the principle of a killer and rarely asked about his master's intentions, but this time he couldn't help but remind, "Han Wuxian is very dangerous, we rescued her, but she tried to kill anyone who came near her. ”

"Not anymore, let her make a vow to remove the chains again. Gu Shenwei speculated on an abnormal woman with a normal mentality, and he was actually not 100% sure in his heart, but this was a risk that had to be taken, "Divide half of the manpower and find me two people, one is called Han Xuan, and the other is Shangguan Shaomin." ”

"Yes. Hu Shining didn't ask much, he knew who these two people were, as for their important surnames, there was no need for him to worry about them, after dividing the manpower, the prevention of assassins would be even more stretched, and it was also not his responsibility.

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Gu Shenwei issued the third order, "I need a personal guard, let Nie Zeng come." ”

Hu Shining raised his head suddenly, using too much force, even he felt out of shape, the Dragon King was too different from the master he had served before, and every order was unexpected, "Even if it is placed in Jinpeng Castle, Nie Zeng is also a qualified killer, but he has a fatal flaw, and he has not yet fully controlled the hatred in his heart." ”

The object of this hatred is none other than the Dragon King himself.

"It doesn't matter. Gu Shenwei has become accustomed to personal guards harboring different degrees of hatred towards him, they are like a sharp thorn at both ends, one end guards against the enemy, and the other end reminds Gu Shenwei to be vigilant at all times.

Hu Shining didn't quite understand the Dragon King's thoughts, so he gave up pondering, "Yes." ”

Nie Zeng soon came to see the Dragon King, compared to the meeting two years ago, he had grown much taller, his expression was resolute, the immaturity of the young man had almost faded, Hu Shining said that he had not yet fully controlled the hatred in his heart, but he hid it well.

Gu Shenwei has had such a guard behind him since then.

The second person he wanted to see was Shangguan Yun, the third young lord of Jinpeng Castle and the king of Xiaowan Kingdom in the Western Regions, who had been detained in the camp of the country of Xiangji, and the Jinpeng killer took away the entire family of the Great Yue King, but did not seriously rescue the real master.

Shangguan Yun had a lot less ropes on his body, his hands and feet were still tied, and he was pointed out by Old Man Mu, and he only had two or three times a day to move freely, "If I hadn't lived in the dungeon for a few years, I really couldn't stand this kind of treatment." "Even when he complains, he seems cynical.

Gu Shenwei motioned for Nie Zeng to untie the rope.

Shangguan Yun stood up, moved his limbs, and stretched his waist, "The Dragon King is unconscious, and the pain seems to be borne by me." ”

"You know my temper. Gu Shenwei said flatly, and then lowered his head slightly, not planning to say anything more.

Shangguan Yun stared at the Dragon King, showing an interested smile, no matter how many times they met, they couldn't reduce his curiosity, "Remember, I once said that if I was in charge, I would form an alliance with the Dragon King from the beginning." ”

"Yes. ”

"Now I'm in charge. ”

"No wonder the killers of Jinpeng Castle are running so fast. ”

Shangguan Yun clapped his hands in agreement, "Don't worry, the Dragon King will leave behind those who run away." ”

"Well, I need a reason. ”

The topic of the Dragon King changed too abruptly, and Shangguan Yun was stunned for a moment before he understood, "The reason is very simple, we are all from the Western Regions, and we all hope that chaos will occur in Beiting, so that we can fish in troubled waters, but we don't want the chaos to last too long, and when the big hand of the Central Plains comes in, you will not have a chance to fish." ”

"I will not give up revenge. ”

"I will not share the Western Regions with others. ”

Some alliances were temporary from the beginning, and Shangguan Yun at least didn't lie about it.

"I'll let the Strategist talk to you. ”

"I'll wait. Shangguan Yun stretched his waist again, as if he was enjoying this limited freedom, "With the assistance of the Jinpeng Killer, this camp can be regarded as truly safe." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't give Shangguan Yun too much opportunity to show off, so he immediately left with Nie Zeng and went to see the third person, who, like Shangguan Yun, was also a hostage.

Liman's treatment was much better than Shangguan Yun's, there were no ropes on his body, and the tent was clean and tidy, but he looked nervous, and as soon as he saw the Dragon King come in, he immediately jumped up from the bed.

Shangguan Yun had set his goal from the beginning, but Liman was following the waves, and the development of everything in Long Ting was not in his expectations and plans.

"Dragon King ......"

"General Zhisu has sent a letter. Gu Shenwei said that in that letter, Zhi Su thanked the Dragon King for taking care of his son, which was both a plea and a threat, but it was not something that Gu Shenwei cared about, "You are free, you can return to the Naihang clan at any time, and I will provide horses and food." ”

Liman was stunned by the news, and stayed for a while before repeating: "Am I free?

"Well, the king is dead, but the dragon army and the Naihang clan are not enemies at the moment, you can tell your father that the choice of friend or foe is now in his hands. ”

Liman suddenly felt more relaxed than ever, and even felt guilty about it, he should have expressed more grief and indignation at the death of the king, "I will not return to the Naihang tribe, I will go to the Western Regions, and Prince Dotun is the one to whom I am truly loyal." ”

Gu Shenwei stared at him for a while, and felt that the time was ripe, "The road of the grassland is not as good as before, if you want, we can go together." ”

Li Man was not so nervous, the dragon king in front of him was still sick, and there seemed to be blood oozing faintly from his chest, but the whole person was still as hard as iron and stone, like a long knife, firmly stuck on the ground, instead of standing there casually.

"When I arrived in the Western Regions, I only recognized Prince Dotun. ”

"I didn't ask for more. ”

"You didn't kill the old Khan?"

"It's not. ”

Li Man solemnly knelt down on one leg, he had seen the Dragon King's guards usually practice this etiquette, "The Beiting Mansion has collapsed, only a hero like the Dragon King has the ability to turn the tide, I am willing to follow the Dragon King and follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Gu Shenwei accepted this temporary allegiance, and immediately needed him, "Come with me, let's go to see Xiao Yan and King Yao." ”

Liman hesitated for a moment, because the new Yao King Tosai was still the greatest enemy of the Naihang tribe, and he immediately threw away this thought, saying that the king was dead, and his allegiance ended, just as the dragon king said, he was free.

"Everyone is enlisting the support of the close servants, right?" Although Liman was captured, the public news could reach his ears, and he knew the situation in the Dragon Court very well.

"That's right, Xiao Yan and King Yue Yao are probably looking for me for this matter. ”

"I can help, I have a lot of friends in the army. ”

This is a somewhat unfamiliar word for Gu Shenwei, he has just formed an alliance with the enemy, and he knows best in his heart that in troubled times, the strongest is a friend, and the most vulnerable is also a friend.

He didn't share these thoughts with Liman.
