This winter, two unprecedented events occurred in Biyu City, most of the residents just watched the excitement, but a few wise people understood that the great changes that had been brewing for a long time had finally begun.

The first major event is the sudden rise of a wave of assassinations, which is not a new thing, and when Biyu City is at its most peaceful, there are several murders every day, and the special feature of this round is the mysterious identity of the assassin.

The first to be assassinated was the Tianshan Sect Master Zhang Ji, although it was not successful, it still caused an immediate sensation, everyone knew that this wandering swordsman's organization had completely become a vassal of Jinpeng Castle, so the spearhead was pointed at the Dragon King, and those who knew more about it were inclined to Xiaoyuetang.

But within two days, the scope of the assassination expanded, and it was not limited to the members of the Tianshan Sect, but also the swordsmen from all directions, the Central Plains martial arts figures of unknown origin, the few remaining killers in Jinpeng Castle, the retinue sent by the Dragon King in advance, and so on, and even a monk of the Four Noble Truths, all of whom became victims of the assassination.

After a brief period of recrimination, all parties vowed that they were not behind the scenes, but they did not gain much trust from the residents, which only made things more foggy.

Some people lament that Jinpeng Castle has indeed declined, and some people regret that the Dragon King is not strong enough to dare to admit it.

After all, Biyu City is Biyu City, although the assassination brought panic, it did not cause much interference, and all kinds of business are still in full swing, what really shocked them was the second big thing.

Four armies were stationed thirty miles outside the city, each with at least 20,000 men, and the last time Biyu City faced a large army was overwhelmed, it had to go back fifty or sixty years, when King Dubu successfully defused the crisis and created a prosperous history, but this time no one dared to make this prediction.

The 20,000-strong Jinpeng army, which originally guarded the Qianqi Pass, moved to the northeast outside Biyu City because of an important agreement, and set up camp not far from the Four Truths Garan.

There were more than 20,000 soldiers in the Central Plains, including the 10,000 vanguard troops who had previously arrived at Qianqi Pass, who were "invited" by King Dubu and stationed in the east of the city, south of the main road, across the road from the camp of the Jinpeng army.

The third is the Xiaoyao Sea Dragon Army, also 20,000 people, the camp is located in the south, backed by the river, they are also invited, the inviter is the Central Plains Xiao Wang, it is said that this is one of the important conditions for the Dragon King to give up the attack on the Thousand Cavalry Pass.

Today, Shuangquan Village is no longer under the unilateral control of Jinpeng Castle, and has become a free passage for Xiaoyao Sea to enter and exit Biyu City.

The last army was the resurgence of Shule [***].

In order to obtain the passage of Shuangquan Village, the Dragon King also paid a lot of price, a large number of Beiting cavalry left the northern border of Biyu City, moved farther away, to avoid the main army of the Central Plains that might come, after some negotiations, Shule restored the country, the old king was nowhere to be found, the prince did not succeed to the throne, but called himself a prisoner, quickly formed an army, received Tongtian Pass, and appointed the commander of the whole army was Shang Liao, the king of Xiaoyao Haikang.

Shang Liao was also the right general under the command of the Dragon King, and the 20,000 Shule [***] team was therefore recognized as belonging to the Dragon King.

This army was stationed west of Biyu Castle, and there were no enemies in front of or on the left and right.

After signing the agreement and mobilizing the army, it took Gu Shenwei two months to return to Biyu City again, and the first problem he faced was a series of assassinations that had been going on for almost a month.

King Xiao explained the important surname of this matter, "The matter of the election of the lord of Biyu City in the contest has not yet been made public, and the approval of the Central Plains court is still needed. The Dragon King must be able to understand that it may be normal for the people of Biyu City to let a person with the highest martial arts skills be the city lord, but in the Central Plains, they need to be convinced. ”

Gu Shenwei summoned his previously sent subordinates in the southeast military camp.

Old man Mu was the first to rush in, raised his arms, and shouted loudly: "Long live the Dragon King, long live, you are finally here, the burden on my shoulders can finally be lifted for a while, but you can rest assured......"

Old Man Mu's nagging was indiscriminate, and Gu Shenwei had no choice but to order him to shut up, glanced at him, and asked, "What about Han Wuxian?"

"Ahem, Dragon King, it's not appropriate to inquire about the whereabouts of other people's mothers-in-law as soon as we meet. Old Man Mu still couldn't control his mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped him lightly on the face, "Just kidding, don't worry about the Dragon King." My mother-in-law arrived late, she is very busy now, and she has collected a lot of masters to work for her and the Dragon King......"

"You don't have to talk about her, just yourself. Gu Shenwei simply let Old Man Mu be the first to speak.

"Yes, yes, for the sake of the Dragon King, the old man has been exhausted in the past few months, forgetting to eat, getting up early and going to bed late...... Yes, the Tianshan Sect is basically the outer hall of Jinpeng Castle, everyone in Biyu City knows that the former patriarchs were either killed or withdrew, and now the core characters are all people from Jinpeng Castle, with seven or eight hundred swordsmen, half of whom are old and young killers. Hehe, Dubu Wang is a hard worker, and even the killer who is fifty or sixty years old and has been removed from the list has been recovered......"

Gu Shenwei already knew these things, "Tell me about the recent assassination, what clues are there?"

"Hehe, the dragon king is really to the point, I know that I have a clue before I ask, that's right, the old man did find a little problem, he was afraid of leaking, and he didn't write it in the information. ”

Old Man Mu looked at Shangguan Fei, Tugou and Chu Nanping on the left and right, and saw that the Dragon King had no intention of retreating, so he had to continue, "I have checked dozens of corpses and come to a conclusion that this round of assassination is not intended for people, but for practice. ”

"Practice?" Gu Shenwei finally heard something useful.

"That's right, practice. Old Man Mu nodded proudly, "There are two reasons, one is that there are all the people who were killed, even some of my mother-in-law's subordinates have been killed, and the other is the technique, I can see at least five or six completely different styles from the corpses, and I will arrange the corpses of the same style according to the time of the killing, and then guess what I see? The assassin's martial arts have been improving, and the wounds are getting fewer and smaller, which is obviously practicing. I guess it must have been the assassination carried out by the traitors of Xiaoyuetang, and that crazy woman from Henu wants to use Biyu City to train disciples. ”

Old Man Mu also wanted to analyze every corpse he had inspected in detail, but was forcibly stopped by the Dragon King.

Chu Nanping's duty is not to monitor, but to protect the important stronghold of Nancheng, "Three of our people died, one swordsman from Daxue Mountain, two hired swordsmen, the enemy used fingers and claws as weapons, smeared with poison, and singled out people to attack, without a special target." ”

Chu Nanping's narration is very simple, and it is very consistent with Old Man Mu's first reason.

Lifting the finger claws and poison, Shangguan Fei palpitated, slapped his left shoulder twice, half frightened and half ostentatiously said: "There is a wound here, Dragon King, you almost didn't see me today, thanks to Hall Master Han, she healed me and saved my life." ”

"Is the Xiaoyue Hall poison in you?" asked Gu Shenwei.

"Hall Master Han said that this is an ordinary poison that anyone can use, not necessarily Xiaoyue Hall. ”

Shangguan Fei didn't say much, and the last thing to speak was to slaughter dogs.

Tu Gou was a little nervous and coughed twice, "Twenty-seven days ago, on the night of the fourth watch, Shangguan Fei and I went to the South Wall Tavern to monitor Zhang Ji, the military master of the Tianshan Sect, and happened to see the assassin, the assassin was masked in black, and his figure looked like a man......"

"Cut, don't brag about the old dog, it's up to you that you can distinguish men and women from your body shape? Are you familiar with this kind of thing?" the old man interjected sarcastically.

Tu Gou's face turned red, "I'm just guessing, although they are all martial arts practitioners, there are still slight differences between men and women in their movements, of course, I may be wrong." ”

Old Man Mu was about to open his mouth to taunt again, but was glared back by the stern gaze of the Dragon King.

Slaughtering Dog's confidence was even less so, "It's all my personal feelings, that assassin seems to be ...... seems to have a goal, he went all the way in, just running for Zhang Ji. ”

Old Man Mu shook his head, "You don't feel right, and it was the first day of the assassination, the assassin is not skilled, so he likes to take risks, he didn't kill Zhang Ji, didn't he become cautious after that?"

"What Old Man Mu said makes sense. Slaughterdog hurriedly agreed, avoiding a verbal argument, "The Assassin hasn't been to the Southwall Tavern since. ”

At the end of the report, Old Man Mu and the others retired, Shangguan Fei stayed at the back, and Ai Ai said: "Dragon King, my sister ......"

Old Man Mu turned around, "By the way, where did the good girl go?

No one paid attention to him, and the old man left boredly.

Shangguan Fei used his sister as an excuse, but he actually wanted to say a few words alone with the Dragon King, "There is something I didn't say just now." ”

"Let's talk about it now. ”

"Yes, I saw the assassin too, and I played a few tricks with him, and he grabbed me with a claw, and I punched him, it doesn't matter, the point is...... The man seemed to know me. ”

"On what basis?"

"I can't tell, he didn't speak, he ran away after the fight, I just thought he didn't look at me right. ”

"You know him, too?"

"Hmm...... It's just a guess, I don't think it's possible, it's not written in the report, that person seems to be Shangguan Hong, but how can his martial arts improve by leaps and bounds and become a master?"

"Shangguan Hong?" Gu Shenwei also felt unlikely, "Shouldn't he be in the Xiaoyao Sea Stone Country?"

"Yes, I wonder why he should have waited for the queen, how could he run to Biyu City? ”

Gu Shenwei took Shangguan Fei's words to heart, and planned to investigate later, "What else is going on?"

Shangguan Fei didn't leave, his face was sad, "Well, I want to say first, my mother and I both support the Dragon King, and we don't have any reservations, please believe it." ”

"I believe it. ”

Shangguan Fei let out a sigh, "My mother got a strange news, the Kun Society—the Dragon King still remembers the Kun Society—has been rebuilt, and I heard that the owner of the Society is my sister, this ...... Is this possible?"

Of course, Gu Shenwei remembered Kunshe.
