There is an area in the east of Nancheng, different from other places, there are no brothels and taverns, although the streets and alleys are narrow and broken, dirty and dilapidated, but the residents and pedestrians seem to be much more normal, get up early, do not carry knives, are small businessmen, it is them, silently control the clothing, food, housing and transportation of Biyu City.

Gu Shenwei put the single knife on his thigh, so as not to be too eye-catching, and the agreed location was a private house, located deep in the alley, close to the city wall, very hidden.

Twenty apprentice killers live here, waiting for the "bottom down" to arrive.

Gu Shenwei saw the strange-looking wild horse, he stayed with his companion, and nodded symbolically to Huan Nu, as if the king was receiving a less important courtier.

The lotus girl and a few others were sitting at the other end of the room, carefully wiping their knives, and saw that Huan Nu stood up and nodded, but did not speak.

None of them have the qualifications to speak casually here, and the only killer is Shangguan Yushi.

"Boy Rain. ”

"Tell me to kill the Lord. ”

"Lord Slayer. ”

Gu Shen bowed deeply, knowing that this level was not easy.

Shangguan Yushi knew the identity of "Exploring the Bottom", and had been waiting for this moment for a long time, Gu Shenwei revealed the information of the "Ten Dragons Gang" collected by observation one by one, from the type of gathering point to the number of personnel, who were high in martial arts, and who were the people who really controlled the gang, until when the drunkards dispersed, and how many people were left in the courtyard.

Shangguan Yushi listened to him and said coldly, "This is the information you got in three days?"

"Yes. "Actually, it's only two days, and Gu Shenwei doesn't want to argue.

Shangguan Yushi took out a piece of paper and read: "There are seven heads of the Tianshan Sect, they gather on the fifteenth day of each month, they do not receive ordinary gangs, there are twelve guards, they patrol in three shifts, and three to four are the best time to start. She folded the paper, "Looks like you didn't get anything of value." ”

"Yes. Gu Shenwei held back his anger and did not refute, he had never been trained to gather intelligence, and no one took him to do things.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth, you stay here to guard the items, and when we succeed, the credit has nothing to do with you, and the hard work is finally yours. ”

Someone laughed, not all the apprentices were friends.

"Yes, but please let me go again tonight. ”

"What are you doing? You still want to dig out a peerless master from the Tianshan Sect?"

"I think...... Something is wrong. ”

Gu Shenwei suddenly found that he couldn't say what he thought, his suspicions were all based on a few ambiguous words on the paperwork, whether there was a conspiracy, what the conspiracy was, and the purpose of the conspiracy, he couldn't say a single one, the only suspect was Mr. Guo, but the person Mr. Guo didn't like was Huan Nu, but Huan Nu was not a member of the assassination team.

Everything is just feelings, and Gu Shenwei believes in his own feelings, but he is not enough for outsiders.

"Well, you can take as much of the hard work as you want, but you'll have to come back early tomorrow morning and clean up your room, by the way, it's your old job, and it's going to be easy." ”

"Yes. Gu Shenwei swallowed his anger.

The corners of Shangguan Yushi's mouth rose, this Huan slave thought that if he killed a lot of people, he would be able to scare himself, he should let him know who was the master and who was the slave, and sooner or later she would take revenge, not for the brother who should have died long ago if he didn't make it, but for Shangguan Ru, the tenth son.

Gu Shenwei temporarily gave up his hatred of Shangguan Yushi, and all the way he was thinking, what means could the weak Ten Dragons Gang use to thwart the assassination of Jinpeng Castle, among the twenty apprentices there were allies he had won with great difficulty, and he couldn't let He Nu and the others die in the conspiracy.

Back at Xu Yanwei's residence, a guest was waiting for him.

The old dragon head sat alone by the fire, wearing a thick cotton coat, and did not show a green dragon pattern.

"They were upstairs and safe. ”

The old dragon head spoke first, Gu Shenwei glanced upstairs, put the single knife at the door, and walked over to sit on the other side of the stove.

"You hit my son last night. ”

"Hmm. ”

"He should be beaten. ”

"Hmm. ”

"But if you dare to appear in the Ten Dragons Gang again, I will kill you. ”

"Hmm. ”

This was the end of the conversation, but the old dragon head had no intention of leaving.

Something was wrong, Gu Shenwei asked, "Are you ready?"

The old dragon's bulging eyes widened, his body seemed a little stiff, and he immediately returned to normal, "What did you say?"

"Wine, I see you have to prepare a lot of wine every night. ”

The old dragon's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, and it was fleeting, and he stretched out his palm.

Gu Shenwei took out the black iron piece issued by the Ten Dragons Gang and put it in the old dragon's hand, and the old dragon's hand turned it over, and the iron piece fell into the charcoal fire.

The old dragon head walked to the door, glanced at the single knife left by his son, did not move it, pushed the door and walked into the cold wind.

Xu Xiaoyi went downstairs lightly, "Are you going to go tonight?"

"Hmm. ”

"That's it...... You don't need me to go with you, do you?"

"No, I don't. ”

"Oh, that's great, you know, I don't know martial arts, it's okay for you to let me steal something, and if I fight, I'm going to die. ”

"You don't have to steal for the time being. ”

"Hehe, let's eat, it's still early, you know, my sister sometimes comes here during the day......"

"You go alone, I'll leave later, there's still something to do. ”

"Oh, then I'll wait a minute, it's too cold outside, I really don't want to go out. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Shenwei left with a single knife, hid in the corner of the street, staring at the door of Xu's house, and after another quarter of an hour, a tall man walked out of Xu's house, wearing a cloak and a hood covering his entire face, glanced left and right, and left in a hurry.

In the South City, this kind of cover-up is not uncommon, and it is even more common to be seen in the homes of prostitutes.

Gu Shenwei waited for a while, but he couldn't stand the cold, and then he walked to the South Wall Tavern.

The fat man guarding the door searched his body as usual and asked for a knife.

Gu Shenwei didn't find the person he was looking for in the tavern, and even Zhang Ji didn't come, he sat down at the table that the master often chooses, asked for a glass of red wine, and the cost was recorded in Tie Hanfeng's account, and then stared at the bright red liquid in the white jade cup until the sun sank.

Tie Hanfeng didn't come, Gu Shenwei desperately wanted to ask the master a few questions, but he couldn't find his figure.

When the time came, Gu Shenwei left the tavern and took back the single knife at the door, the fat man didn't play tricks again, it was still the same knife.

It was snowing outside, and he was not in a hurry at first, but when Gu Shenwei came to the gathering point of the Ten Dragons Gang, it turned into a heavy snowfall, and he couldn't see clearly ten steps away.

There were not as many drunkards as usual, Gu Shenwei walked around the courtyard several times, and even jumped over the wall into the courtyard, but no one came out to stop him.

The lights and noise were all reminding the young man outside how cold it was on a snowy day, but he still insisted on not entering the house, not because he was afraid of the old dragon's head, but because he wanted to find out the truth.

This time, "getting to the truth" is pretty much the same thing as "solving the problem."

The door of the grass house was full of wine jars, covered with snow, like hills, and Gu Shen knocked the snow one by one, but it was empty.

"Hey!"

Finally, someone found the mysterious young man, with dragon teeth carrying a long knife, followed by the son of the old dragon head and several big men with knives.

"What did the old dragon head say?"

Gu Shenwei clenched the hilt of the knife, this knife was not the same as the Jinpeng Fort narrow knife, but it was still easier than the short sword, "He said that he wanted to invite me to drink, and thanked me for beating his son, I said that the wine here is too bad, and I mixed it with water, and I didn't want to drink it." ”

Several big men roared loudly, and the dragon tooth swung the long knife around, "You only have one chance, get out." ”

Gu Shenwei stared at the dragon tooth for a while, began to retreat, and disappeared into the wind and snow after a while, and the laughter of the dragon tooth and others faintly came from the opposite side, probably a joke that the young man was a coward.

This is the prey of the killer apprentices, and Gu Shenwei can't rob them of their delicacy, especially when Shangguan Yu is the killer.

Gu Shenwei returned to the South Wall Tavern, but Tie Hanfeng still didn't come, so he had to go back to Xu's house.

Xu Yanwei upstairs had already rested, Xu Xiaoyi also lay down, and when he saw Gu Shenwei, he said in a daze, "Plug the door." ”

Gu Shenwei sat by the fire alone, closed his eyes, imagined that there was a blank piece of paper in front of him, he wrote the document again, and then began to write the names of the twenty killer apprentices, a pile here, a pile there, just like what he saw in the hidden spot today, when he wrote the word "Liuhua", he remembered that he didn't see this person in the morning.

All of a sudden, things suddenly became clear.

Gu Shenwei woke up Xu Xiaoyi, who was sleeping soundly, "Who asked you to do this work?"

"Ahh

Gu Shenwei didn't know what the "crooked mouth" was, grabbed Xu Xiaoyi's shoulder, and shook it vigorously until the other party was completely sober and sat up unhappily.

"What for?"

"Who's the man who came in the morning?"

"Old dragon head. ”

"It's not him, the man hiding upstairs. ”

Xu Xiaoyi laughed awkwardly, rolled his eyes, seemed to want to deny it, and finally changed his mind, "You found out." ”

"Who is he?"

"One of my sister's guests, the normal kind, caught up with the old dragon's head as soon as he entered the house, so he hid on it. It's not that I want to hide it from you, but my sister and I are a little worried that you beat the guest away yesterday. ”

said the same as the real thing, Gu Shenwei thought to himself, "Don't play tricks, you two can't afford to play, watch your head." ”

Xu Xiaoyi touched his head and found that it was still there, "Don't worry, who am I? When I was in Nancheng, you hadn't even heard of Nancheng." ”

Gu Shenwei retreated to the fire, if the Xu sisters and brothers also participated in this conspiracy, they would be wiped out tomorrow, he had no ability to protect them, Xu Xiaoyi refused to tell the truth, but relieved him of an obligation that he thought he should fulfill.

Xu Xiaoyi sat on the makeshift bed, stared blankly at the young man by the fireside, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally fell asleep, making an exaggerated snoring sound.

Gu Shenwei gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, his stomach hated the color and taste of blood, but his heart longed for killing, he knew which one was his master.
