Chapter 658: Awakening
Falling into the flames, waking up from the cold, when Gu Shenwei opened his eyes, he felt the coldness from the inside out, similar to the symptoms of going mad, but without the pain of ten thousand needles.
There was an old man's boastful voice in his ears, "You all have to thank me, if I hadn't rushed in in time, you would have held a handful of ashes at this time and went home to cry." ”
Then he really heard a faint cry.
He sat up, feeling a burning pain that overshadowed the chill in his body, and he looked down to see that his bare left breast was covered with a thick bandage, and there was another scar on his body.
"What about her?" this is Gu Shenwei's first question, and it is also the question he is most concerned about.
Before Old Man Mu had time to express his surprise, he was stunned for a while, "I don't know, I didn't see the corpse anyway, I guess I was taken away by Han Fen's crazy girl." The scene is full of fire, and I can only save people, and nothing else. ”
"I want to see Xiao Yan. This was Gu Shenwei's second sentence, he had to take advantage of the chaos to collect the remnants of the Dragon Court, and Xiao Yan was one of the most important helpers.
Long Chuanyun took a step forward, "The military advisor has already gone, and he said that the dragon king can rest assured." ”
Fang Wen understands the strategy of the Dragon King, and it shouldn't be wrong for him to go to see Xiao Yan's clan, but Gu Shenwei still can't let go, chaos is not only an opportunity, but also full of variables, one wrong step may change from a hunter to a prey.
Queen Ju signaled, and Old Man Mu, Long Chuanyun, Red Bat, and Xu Yanwei, who was crying, withdrew from the tent, leaving the husband and wife alone.
They have rarely seen each other in the past year, Gu Shenwei looked at her, feeling extremely unfamiliar, and couldn't even remember her name, "I'm sorry to affect you." ”
Queen Ju smiled, this apology showed that they were an estranged husband and wife after all, this man could not have feelings for her, and she just wanted to firmly grasp her name, Shi Guoju was in a storm, and all she could use to save herself was the word "queen".
She understands her status.
"No one can escape the chaos in the world, and I'm glad to stay with you at this time. ”
The two were silent for a while, and Queen Ju began to tell the progress of the situation, "The Dragon Court has been reduced to ashes, and the forces of all parties are still fighting in the ruins, and your safety has made the Dragon Army an important force." Red Bat and Dragon Turning Cloud will inform Xiao Yan and Tosai respectively, and they are waiting for your news. ”
"Tosai?" Gu Shenwei knew that this was the son of the Shadow King, and he had been loyal to King Kua in the past, but he didn't understand how he could care about his condition.
"Well, the Shadow King is dead, he has declared himself to inherit the throne, he has more than 10,000 cavalry in his hands, it is said that the army of the frontier is rushing back, and in the end he may have more than 100,000 people, and he is very important in the Northern Court, and both the military advisor and the Xiao Yan clan consider him the most important ally at the moment. ”
"In fact, the entire Dragon Court is watching your news. The king of Kua said that there was nothing left, and his remnants were incorporated into the army of Tosai; the king of the king was almost completely wiped out, but his generals quickly fled to the west with part of the army to the territory of the Naihang tribe, and sooner or later they would make a comeback, and he sent a letter saying that he was thanking you for taking care of his son Liman; the whole family of the king fled eastward, and it is said that he was protected by the Jinpeng killer to defect to one of his sons; some of the remaining princes escaped, and some stayed behind to fight for the throne of the Khan, and the king of Shengyue is now the most powerful, but he does not occupy an absolute advantage. ”
"How long have I been sleeping?" Gu Shenwei was surprised, he felt that his duel with the lotus girl was just now, and so many things would not happen.
"Three days and two nights. ”
Gu Shenwei jumped off the bed, pulling the wound, making his body look a little stiff, he missed too much time, and he had to chase it back immediately.
Queen Ju helped him to put on his clothes and fulfill his duties as a wife.
"How did you escape?"
"The Dragon Court is in a scuffle, the guards are not strict, and a few of us are trying to escape. Queen Ju paused, feeling that there was no need to hide it, so she added, "Shangguan Jiaotou has contributed a lot." ”
Gu Shen didn't say anything, grabbed the sword on the table and walked out of the tent.
More than forty guards guarded outside, this is a group of silent swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain, since the Dragon King was injured, he has barely left the tent or so, and now when he sees him, he does not say anything, and as usual, he lines up and escorts the Dragon King to the main tent.
This is a mixed military camp built in the wilderness, half of which is made up of female soldiers from the country of Xiangji, and the other half is the cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan, with a total of more than 2,000 people, small in scale, but very well defended.
When the soldiers saw the dragon king, they all bowed to him, and more and more people gathered around, and when Gu Shenwei walked to the door of the main tent and stood facing everyone, cheers suddenly rang out in the camp.
Fang Wen came in a hurry, with a smile on his face, and opened his arms, as if he wanted to give the Dragon King a big hug, but when he was still three steps away, he put down his arms and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "It's a coincidence, I've been running outside for the past few days, and I came back for the first time today, and I heard the good news that the Dragon King woke up before I arrived at the gate of the camp." ”
The situation reported by the military advisor was similar to that of Queen Ju, only in more detail.
During the period when Gu Shenwei was asleep, the power balance of the Dragon Court was changing every moment, and a total of four princes claimed to control the capital and proclaimed themselves khans, and they would be driven away by another force in less than half a day, and finally all parties reached a tacit agreement that no one would send troops into the ruins.
At this moment, distance represents strength, the camp of the Holy King is close to the south of the ruins, and Tosai and another prince are stationed more than ten miles away on the east and west sides, and fifty miles further away are the remnants of other princes.
As for the Xiao Yan clan and the dragon army, the troops were too small, so they could only camp a hundred miles away and watch the fire from across the mountains.
"However, the most powerful force of the Dragon Court at this time is not the princes, but the 100,000 close servants left by the old Khan, who occupy the palace, which is the only remaining part of the Dragon Court, and the generals refuse to recognize anyone to succeed to the throne before claiming that the real murderer is caught. ”
"The real murderer?"
Fang Wen sighed, "This is the source of chaos in the Dragon Court, there are different opinions about how the old Khan King died, every prince is suspicious, even the close servants are no exception, many people say that they are thieves shouting to catch thieves, and some people say ......"
"Others say I'm an Assassin. ”
Fang Wen nodded with a wry smile, "It is said that you sacrificed a small sword ten miles away, flew all the way into the tent and killed the old Khan King, but this is fine, there are not many people who believe in it." ”
The military advisor stared at the Dragon King, obviously still having a trace of doubt in his heart.
"I didn't kill the old Khan. The main tent was empty, but Gu Shenwei couldn't help but look left and right, there was no protector behind him, and he had to rely entirely on his own strength to ensure safety, "It's Xiaoyuetang." ”
Gu Shenwei briefly introduced the plan and actions of the Dutch girl.
Fang Wen was dumbfounded, "This ...... This is completely inexplicable, what kind of hatred does the Dutch girl have with men? Or ......" he glanced at the Dragon King suspiciously, and did not continue to guess, "In this way, the Holy King is actually the puppet of Xiaoyue Hall, no wonder, his strength is not the strongest, but every time he fights, he can win narrowly, and the main generals of the opponent are either killed violently or suddenly betrayed, it turns out that the group of crazy women are behind the ghost." ”
"Did the Dutch girl show up?"
"No, there is a theory that claims that the old Khan King was killed by a few banshees, and few people take it seriously, but I didn't expect this to be the truth. Beiting was ruined in the hands of a group of women......" Fang Wen shook his head again and again, and suddenly his tone became extremely firm, "So women are a curse, the farther away the better." ”
Gu Shenwei knew what the military advisor really wanted to say, and from the first sentence of the meeting, Fang Wen was expressing this meaning, "Dragon King, I have always advised you not to be emotional, but I have done very badly, but I am relieved now, really, I swear to God, I ...... to any woman"
Fang Wen couldn't think of a suitable expression for a while, when he saw Queen Ju again, his previous obsession was gone, his youthful love came late, but it went quickly, thinking back to the beginning, it was like a different world, as if it was another person's memory.
He only cared about one thing now: the attitude of the dragon king.
"I believe in you. Gu Shenwei quickly ended the conversation to avoid embarrassment on both sides.
Fang Wen let out a sigh of relief, secretly loyal to the Dragon King in his heart, but his face did not move, he was a strategist and a military advisor, he couldn't talk about loyalty like a reckless young man, "Xiao Yan is a woman, so she is not reliable, she just wants to use the power of the Dragon King to go to the Western Regions to meet the Prince of Dodun, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, she did it." ”
"Let's walk to the river together. "As an outsider, Gu Shenwei wants to gain a firm foothold in the North Court, and even get a piece of the pie, he must form an alliance with the grassland nobles, "What's going on with Tosai?"
"Alas, it's still a woman, Tosai was fascinated by that Ronin tea, and was willing to do anything for her, even forgetting to avenge his father, a new king with no future, the only value is the name of the Khan's son and grandson and the army under his command, I'm afraid we will part ways if we can't go to the river. ”
The situation was better than Gu Shenwei imagined, even if he had never fallen asleep, he would probably have reached this level.
"The Land of Incense has been a great help. Fang Wen suddenly came out with this sentence, "Especially the head of Shangguan Sect, when the Dragon King didn't wake up, the Xiao Yan clan wanted to dissolve the alliance, and she was all in the middle of it, to ensure the safety of the Dragon Army, she chose this camp, and also borrowed 1,000 troops from the Xiao Yan clan to be stationed here." ”
"Where is she?"
"She has always stayed with Xiao Yan, and to be honest, this is the only reason I believe in Xiao Yan. Fang Wen ignored that Shangguan Ru was also a woman, and he himself was unaware of this, but before that, he had been advising the Dragon King to stay away from the daughter of the Dubu King.
Gu Shenwei was slightly surprised, the military advisor showed extraordinary respect for Shangguan Ru, which was neither the love between men and women, nor the respect between people with disparity in status, but a kind of sympathy, as if Shangguan Ru was a leader who stood out from the crowd.
"Good. Gu Shenwei has enough information, "Many people are interested in the close guards left behind by the old Khan King. ”
Fang Wen nodded solemnly, "All forces are fighting for the support of these 100,000 cavalry, in fact, the close servants have the strength to decide who can become the new Khan King." ”
"Then we'll have to join in. ”
The 100,000 close servants are not only a powerful force, but also the foundation for Beiting to restore stability as soon as possible, and Xiaoyue Hall will not let them play their role to the fullest.
Gu Shenwei clearly remembered that he slapped the lotus girl in the face, and even if he didn't kill her, he would have killed her for half a life.
Gu Shenwei hoped that he would wake up in front of the Lotus Girl, and before the next round of duels, he would first meet the real Hall Master of Xiaoyue Hall.
