Two years ago, Dubu Wang decided to give up women to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Western Regions, and Zhang Ji changed from a teacher to a military advisor of Jinpeng Castle, and while secretly borrowing troops from Beiting, they began to prepare an assassination plan.

In contrast, Gu Shenwei felt that his preparation was too hasty.

Shangguan Shaomin didn't know anything about the "female Gu", she listened to the lies of the compulsors, thinking that she really had a terminal illness, and had to take those bizarre and sometimes creepy drugs, and she never imagined that her body would become a murderous weapon.

Gu Shenwei didn't go to see her after talking to the lotus girl, he didn't want to lie to people, and he didn't want to tell the truth.

The lotus girl only knew a little about the female Gu, and she only thought of this secret technique after Shangguan Shaomin described it in detail, and as for the treatment method, there was no mention in the book.

"I don't think it's wrong, the refining method of the female Gu is different, I can't think of any other possibility. ”

"But in this way, everyone knows that the assassin is from Jinpeng Castle, how can they frame me?"

The lotus girl could only guess, "The female Gu may not have an immediate effect, and it will only attack after a period of incubation, and you can find a way to plant it during this period." ”

That's probably it, as for the specific planting method, the two can't guess it for the time being, but this is just a trivial matter and does not affect Gu Shenwei's judgment.

The plan of King Kwari and Jinpeng Castle has been revealed: use Shangguan Shaomin to assassinate the old Khan King, create chaos in the Dragon Court, transfer troops back to suppress it, seize the Khan throne, and greatly shorten the process of infighting.

Gu Shenwei suspected that the King of Rizhu and the Xiao Yan clan had a certain understanding of the importance of Shangguan Shaomin, and deliberately made her insignificant, as if it was just a guarantee that Jinpeng Castle would get a piece of the pie from the North Court, so as to induce the Dragon King to kill her without care.

Shangguan Shaomin and Kuo Zhen, the key figures in killing people and transferring troops, are now in the hands of Gu Shenwei, which is not only the life of King Kuari, who can completely destroy him, but also his reverse scales, and the perpetrators will cause death.

Therefore, how to deal with these two people has become a difficult problem.

The Lotus Maiden looked at the matter with a cold attitude, "The easiest way is to kill them, so that King Kwari is defeated, and the threat is gone." ”

"Then the king of the day and the little clan will rise up and take the initiative, but I know too little about their plans. ”

"Then leave them behind and use them to blackmail Jinpeng Fort and King Khari, the problem is that they must be hidden, once the news leaks, no agreement can stop their retaliation. ”

In the camp of the Dragon Army in the Western Regions, there is also a prince of Beiting who is held hostage, and King Kuari, who wants to seize the throne at any cost, probably does not care about the life and death of this family member.

Gu Shenwei decided to stay alive, his current position is the same as that of the old Khan King, he doesn't want a situation where a certain prince dominates in the North Court, which is not beneficial to the interests of the Dragon Army.

When he returned to his camp, it was already the second watch of the night, and the first day of the Dragon Court Conference was coming to an end, and only a few small-scale competitions were held.

Mustang and Liman had been waiting impatiently, and refused to leave in the dragon king's tent, and as soon as they saw him, Liman pounced, "Dragon King, this matter is ......"

Gu Shenwei held his hand on the hilt of the knife, stopped abruptly from Man, his anger was reduced by half, and he said in a soothing voice: "Dragon King, since it is cooperation, there should be a minimum of trust. ”

"I trust you. ”

"But you asked us to kill a fake granddaughter of the Dubu King, and led your men everywhere to compete with others, without telling us the reason or revealing the next step. ”

Gu Shenwei raised his head slightly, "This is my way of doing things, I trust you, but I won't ask Mustang because you change your approach, he knows it very well." ”

Of course Mustang knew, so he nodded.

After nearly a day and a night of waiting, Mustang's anger and agitation gradually disappeared, and he examined in his heart, comparing himself to the dragon king, he was like a reckless teenager, and he had to become a calm killer again, only in this way could he defeat his opponent in future duels.

Therefore, he behaved more restrained than Liman.

Liman controlled his emotions and showed a reconciled smile, "Please forgive the Dragon King, I'm too impatient." ”

"Hmm. ”

"What's the Dragon King's plan next? uh, what do you need us to do?"

"Come with me to the jousting competition. ”

"The Warriors Tournament only started after that. ”

"In the competition in the untouchable area, I will continue to train my swordsmen. ”

"Well, neither Mustang nor I are suitable for public appearances." ”

The King of the Sun Chase handed over the two helpers of the Dragon King, but he didn't want the matter to be widely known.

"Hide in the shadows and guard my back. ”

Liman's martial arts are good, but he is not a killer, and what Gu Shenwei really relies on is wild horses.

"Where's the Lotus Maiden?" said the mustang, gesturing.

"She has another task. ”

Liman finally accepted the dragon king's style, and did not pursue any further questions, he knew that this was a test, and he and Mustang had to use this opportunity to gain the dragon king's true trust.

Therefore, he could only suppress the many doubts in his heart and carry out the orders of the Dragon King.

The "Double Shadow Swordsman" came to the untouchable area for the second time to challenge, as soon as the news spread, someone immediately took the initiative to rush to the battle, Chu Nanping did not need to run around, as long as he found a vacant land, he could wait for the rabbit.

Gu Shenwei stood in the dark and watched, and after each competition, he called Chu Nanping over, whispered a few words to him, and pointed out some mistakes and loopholes.

Liman and Mustang stood ten paces behind the Dragonlord, back to back, watching in different directions, all wearing long cloaks to prevent being recognized.

To Liman's surprise, this was a contest without any rewards, but there were many participants, and the stronger they were, if it was for the sake of fame, most of these fighters were reported under false names, and some people even entered the field to shoot, and quickly left the field after defeat, without saying a word.

The young man's swordsmanship surprised him even more, Li Man had heard about last night's incident, and thought that Chu Nanping's double swords would be extremely sharp and fast, but what he saw was extremely bland, the young man had a sword in the east and a sword in the west, scattered and unorganized, but he still won every time.

Within an hour, Chu Nanping won eight martial arts competitions, all of which were won, but no one was killed.

The audience gathered more and more, and from the pointing and whispering of many people, Liman found that others also had the same doubts as him: only one day apart, how did the ruthless young swordsman become polite?

Chu Nanping was carrying out the Dragon King's request.

Gu Shenwei has long given up the ruthless swordsmanship, he just taught Chu Nanping in the most basic place, if you want to really control a power, you must control it freely, last night's competition, Chu Nanping wants to release the power, feel its strength, tonight, he wants to accept the power.

That's why each of his swords has room for it, and he can choose freely between killing or not killing, Chu Nanping chooses not to kill, and the ruthless swordsmanship requires the cultivator to be ruthless and abandoned, and he doesn't even have the intention to kill.

Liman's doubts rose higher and higher, he almost forgot his duty of vigilance, concentrated on watching the competition, listened to the discussion of the audience around him, and then asked himself again and again in his heart: What is the peculiarity of the young man's swordsmanship? What is the purpose of the dragon king in addition to training disciples? Why do those masters in the onlookers who have no intention of competing in martial arts stay here and waste their time?

From Liman's eyes, he couldn't tell who the real master was, but he recognized more than ten people from the audience, all of whom were "warriors" hired by the princes, who didn't live in the untouchable area at all, but came all the way to watch without moving.

The dragon king is setting up the bait, and Liman finally comes to his senses, and as for the target, he is still confused.

Looking at the dragon king who was about the same age as himself, Li Man was both curious and admired, and suddenly a chill suddenly arose in his heart for no reason, regretting every bit of disrespect before, and he wanted to warn his father and the king of the sun: The dragon king is not easy to deal with.

Gu Shenwei didn't catch the target, there were a lot of people with ghosts in their hearts, most of them were tempters, few people were hands-on, and the impact caused by Chu Nanping was still not big enough.

He called the boy to his side and whispered a few words.

Chu Nanping didn't react, but after leaving the Dragon King, he walked straight to the onlookers, pointed to one of them and said, "I want to compete with you." ”

The crowd quickly moved out of the way, revealing the ninth combatant of the night.

The man, also cloaked, stood awkwardly in place, surprised by his exposure, and coughed, as if he had no intention of fighting.

Chu Nanping received guidance from the Dragon King, and Lang Sheng added: "Chu Nanping, the swordsman of the proud building, asks for advice from the Qingcheng faction in the Central Plains. ”

Gu Feng is a master invited by the Sun Solar King, claiming to be Gu Da, a few days ago followed the son of the Sun Solar King, under the banner of avenging the king Sun Kuozhen, to challenge the Dragon King's men, it is this ancient style, defeated the dragon over the clouds, after seeing the swordsmanship of Chu Nanping, but suggested that the son of the Sun King admit defeat.

The Qingcheng faction is a famous family in the Central Plains, and the ancient style is known as "a designated Qiankun", which is very famous, and there are many martial arts people in the Central Plains among the onlookers, and they all cry out in surprise when they hear this name.

The two countries are about to fight, but the Central Plains people go to the north court to compete for the reward, no matter what the ultimate goal is, this kind of thing is not good to say, the ancient style is more and more embarrassing, and finally the heart is crossed, and the cloak is untied, "Then let's have a game." ”

There were a few acquaintances in the audience, and they all silently retreated to the back of the crowd, afraid that they would be recognized.

Gu Feng is good at pointing, and his swordsmanship is also a must, he pulled out his sword, flicked his fingers on the sword body a few times, and said in the sound of metal: "Soft energy is better than strong." ”

After the inexplicable four words, he made a move, but instead of the sword in his hand, he suddenly had an extra narrow knife, and there was another person who made a move at the same time as him, jumping out of the onlookers and attacking behind Chu Nanping.

People who knew this technique exclaimed together, "Jinpeng Castle!"

Gu Shenwei finally waited for one of the desired goals, so he clenched the hilt of the knife and was on guard.

Ten paces away, Liman didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but he suddenly felt the muscles of the mustang behind him, which told him that danger was nearby.
