Chapter 59: Failure
Shangguan Yushi didn't expect to get a clear answer from Huan Nu, she just wanted to show that she wasn't stupid and had been staring at him, so she snorted and climbed out of the window as well.
There was only Gu Shen alone, and there was an old man tied up in front of him under the giant knife, a person who seemed to be submissive and didn't care about anything.
He immediately stuck to the wall, looked forward, and after a while, his heart suddenly jumped, and he felt that he was really lucky, the wooden knife was set on the wall not far away, and was "held" in the hand of a thin and tall man in black in the mural, a little more protruding than the wall, it was difficult to find it unless he had been prepared and looked closely.
Gu Shenwei ran over in a few steps, quickly pulled out the wooden knife on his waist, and reversed it with the wooden knife in the mural.
The Jinpeng Fort wooden knife system is basically the same, even if the user himself, it is difficult to distinguish clearly.
Gu Shenwei inserted the wooden knife and hurriedly glanced at the old man who was bound, but the old man still stared at the roof motionlessly, paying no attention to anything and finding nothing.
The old man may be a hidden master, Gu Shenwei flashed this strange thought in his mind, and immediately ran back to the window, he couldn't care so much, satisfying Xue Niang was the most urgent task now.
He drilled out of the window and crawled along the rope, with Shangguan Ru by his side, Shangguan Yu should not be able to move again.
Back on the ground, Gu Shenwei untied the rope and let it float outside the walls of the Six Killings Palace, and he couldn't come back if he caught it.
The four of them retreated the same way, Gu Shen was the last to jump out of the outer wall, and the theft went so smoothly that everyone was both excited and proud, but also apprehensive.
After all, this is her own home, as soon as she came out of the outer wall of the Six Killings Palace, Shangguan Fei's courage grew, and she pestered her sister several times, wanting to see Moyu's palm, but she was rejected, in her opinion, the action is not over yet, and the "big thief" must continue to pretend.
Shangguan Ru is also not down-to-earth in his heart, he always suspects that someone has released water, this is another arranged game, especially the old man in the hall, who is vulnerable and willing to cooperate, which is very doubtful.
Her suspicions were quickly confirmed.
The four of them returned to Shangguan Ru's residence, and there was already one person waiting for them in the room.
There should have been a person in the room, the knife-wielding boy with a lot of flowers, but now this person is not a teenager, and there is no rope on his body.
The man, dressed in a gray robe, was short and thin, and stood in the dark, and as soon as the four boys entered the room, he lit the small lamp on the table, which shone on the well-prepared and modest smile on his face.
"The two sons are well. ”
He said in an overly greasy flattering voice, bowing slightly, which made the smile seem fake, and he didn't say hello to Shangguan Yushi.
"Why are you here, who let you in?"
Seeing this person, the four of them were all taken aback, but Shangguan Ru was so arrogant that he ripped off the black cloth on his face, asked sternly, and looked around at the same time, and the young man with the knife was really gone.
Gu Shenwei was even more surprised than others, he had seen this gray-robed man before.
In the case of Han Shiqi's murder, he has always hinted that the teenagers in the salary institute are suspicious, and he advocates expanding the scope of interrogation to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Gu Shenwei still remembered that there were rumors that Mr. Guo was a close confidant of the Fifth Young Master, and he had always been at odds with the Eighth Young Master.
Mr. Guo is a person from Dongbao Baiyi Courtyard, and Gu Shenwei has never understood what Baiyi Courtyard does, so he is very puzzled that he can enter Shangguan Ru's residence.
"The villain was ordered to fetch two things. ”
"On whose orders?"
Shangguan Ru's tone still didn't soften, but Gu Shenwei was taken aback again, didn't the "two things" include the wooden knife under his waist?
"The rules set by the seven generations of Dubu kings, those who trespass into the Six Killing Palaces will be forgiven, and those who tamper with ancestral artifacts will be forgiven, and the villain will be given this 'life'. ”
Shangguan Ru's face turned red, and no one had ever threatened her with "death", "Okay, you can 'kill without mercy'." ”
After finishing speaking, she untied the burden and took out the palm of the black jade, but did not return it to Mr. Guo, but held it in front of her chest provocatively, she was very unhappy in her heart, not only because of Mr. Guo's presumptuousness, but also because of the failure of the "big thief" plan, behind her, Shangguan Fei was uneasy, and Shangguan Yushi had already clenched the wooden knife with a cold face.
The humble smile on Mr. Guo's face did not change, "The villain doesn't dare, the villain just wants to get back the two artifacts immediately, and the rest of the matters have to wait for the royal lord to decide in person." ”
He said that he didn't dare, but between his words, he still regarded the four of them as great rebels, Shangguan Yushi couldn't help it, held his head high, and said contemptuously: "Two utensils?
Gu Shenwei took out the wooden knife, held it in both hands, and took a step forward, not knowing how to explain his behavior.
"Ah, it's you, I know ......"
Shangguan Yushi shouted with wide eyes, Shangguan Ru snatched the wooden knife from Huan Nu's hand, and hurriedly said: "I asked him to take it, and now everything is in my hands, if you want to take it back, I'm afraid it's not worthy." ”
Gu Shenwei lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak, and Shangguan Ru saved his life again.
Shangguan Yushi was very unconvinced, but did not speak again.
Mr. Guo would not be annoyed by the child's words, he just bowed again, "Miss is right, the villain will invite the person who deserves to come." ”
Mr. Guo walked towards the door, and Shangguan Ru violently swung the wooden knife and slashed at his neck, and the sound of "Miss" sounded extremely harsh to her.
Mr. Guo took a step forward, and then walked out of the door as if nothing happened.
Looking at him, he looks like a poor scholar, but he didn't expect to be a master.
"You're not going to fall for Miss again, are you?"
"No, it won't. ”
A person outside the house replied angrily, and then flashed into the room, it was Shangguan Ru's shadow guard, the knife-wielding young man, whose face was as pale as paper because of shame at the moment.
The Shadow Guards are a special group in Jinpeng Castle, and their duty is to defend their masters, but they are not allowed to show their faces.
This is a duty that requires them not to make the slightest mistake.
The knife-wielding boy was drugged and tied up like a zongzi, which is not only a great shame, but also means that his identity as a shadow guard is over, Guo Xian's life He appeared in the house to guard the four people, and he has clearly signaled this.
The knife-wielding boy stood in the doorway, holding a narrow knife in his right hand, his knuckles whitened from overexertion, his eyes swept to the corner, deliberately not looking at anyone.
"The two sons are very stubborn, you might as well prove to them that you mean it. ”
Mr. Guo said outside the house, and then there was no more sound, as if he didn't need to make a sound when he walked.
Shangguan Ru handed over the black jade palm and wooden knife to Huan Nu, and raised his head and chest to face his shadow guard, "Are you serious? ”
Before the words fell, his right hand hit the knife-wielding boy, covering the other party's sight, and his left hand was slightly raised, popping out the colorless and tasteless nameless drug.
This is the second time she has used this trick, but the knife-wielding boy will not be fooled for the second time, his body shook, avoiding Shangguan Ru's right hand, and his left sleeve was swung out, not only blocking the drug, but also rebounding part of it back.
Shangguan Ru was drugged by himself, stood unsteadily, fell backwards, and was caught by Shangguan Yushi, who shouted loudly: "What a bold man!"
The knife-wielding boy didn't say a word, pulled out the narrow knife, and Shangguan jumped behind the two girls, "What do you want to do?"
The knife-wielding boy wanted to prove that he was serious, but his target was not a few masters, but the only minions present.
That night, he was attacked by a knife-wielding young man, Gu Shenwei knew that this person's martial arts were higher than his own, he was holding things in both hands at this time, and he was even more in a hurry, but at the critical moment, there was also a potential in his body, he took a deep breath, contracted his chest and abdomen, and fell backwards.
He was still struck, and the tip of the knife cut through his clothes, leaving a long shallow knife mark on his chest.
The sword-wielding boy failed to kill the enemy in one move, and did not continue the attack, but put his sword into the sheath and turned his gaze to the side again, as if the matter had all been settled.
This time, the four "big thieves" all understood that the knife-wielding boy was "serious".
Gu Shenwei stood up, his whole body was sore and weak due to fright, the knife just now was indeed beyond his expectations, the martial arts of the young man with the knife only needed to be a little higher, he had already returned to Huangquan at this time, and died in Jinpeng Fort for no reason, and no one even knew his true identity and true purpose.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and he did not need to be bandaged, and no one thought to bandage him.
There is no antidote to the nameless drug, but the effect is very short, Shangguan Yushi helped Shangguan Ru to sit on the edge of the bed, and gently rubbed it on her forehead for a while, Shangguan Ru was already able to sit up by herself, her cheeks were strange pink because of anger, Gu Shenwei had seen it several times.
"Let the old guy sue him, no one will dare to touch you. ”
For Shangguan Yushi's persuasion, Shangguan Ru just hummed, she was still thinking about how to "take revenge", in her eyes, Mr. Guo and the knife-wielding boy were really hateful.
"We're just having fun, and we'll just get the stuff back, right?"
Shangguan Fei whispered, he was a little scared.
Gu Shenwei knew that it would not be his turn to speak, so he remained silent and took the opportunity to scan Shangguan Ru's room.
The room is only a little larger than the ordinary slave residence, the decoration is simple, but there are some tables, chairs, beds and stoves and the like, I can't see anything that a girl's family should have, Shangguan Ru is flying in the castle, there are groups of slaves around him, the living room is so simple, Gu Shenwei was very surprised, he thought once again that King Dubu spared no effort in order to make his daughter more like a boy.
Shangguan Ru was able to stand up, beckoned to Huan Nu, Gu Shenwei returned the Moyu palm and the wooden knife, she said stubbornly one by one: "Unless the king comes in person, no one wants to take them." ”
Shangguan Fei shrunk his neck and didn't squeak, but Shangguan Yushi hugged Jiugongzi's shoulders tightly, revealing the same firm expression as her, "That's it, the Six Killings Hall didn't stop us, and now I want to take it back, don't think about it!"
Gu Shenwei not only hoped that this matter would pass quickly, but also hoped that Shangguan Ru would be able to attract everyone's attention, because he had brought two wooden knives with him, one of which had become a replacement, and the other was in Shangguan Ru's hand, and the real wooden knife of the Six Killing Hall had been hidden by him by taking the opportunity.
This was originally a trick to deal with the snow lady, but once it was seen through, even if all the daughters of the Dubu King interceded together, they couldn't save the life of this bold minion.
