Huo Yun had already slept, her breathing was steady and long, her expression was peaceful, and under normal circumstances, she rarely dreamed.

Han Fen sat on the edge of the bed, smiling, humming a tune in a very low voice, like a little mosquito that didn't stop, she looked up and saw Gu Shenwei, blinked her eyes, slowly got up, and walked out of the room with him.

"You're back, you don't have to hide?" There were no outsiders in the courtyard, Han Fen sat on the railing of the corridor, leaning against a pillar, although he had a smile on his face, he looked a little tired,

She had been by Huo Yun's side, she didn't know anything about the outside world, and she hadn't even heard of the edict announcing the innocence of the Dragon King.

"Well, there's no need to hide, is she better?"

The old man surnamed Sun saw it and said that it was not a big problem, and it would be good to rest for a few days. Hehe, the old man is so timid, when he saw Huo Yun, he was so frightened that he trembled, his head was full of beads of sweat, and I had to wipe him. ”

"That's good. ”

"Since I don't have to hide, what about that kid Qin Yeming? I want to tell him that this time I have to pick the gift myself, and I don't have to choose it from him. ”

"He has something to do, and it will take a while before he can see you. ”

"Oh. Han Fen was a little disappointed, but she didn't ask more, her mind was more focused on what gift she wanted, "By the way, I want to ask you something." ”

"What?"

"Why did a doll grow up when it used to be very small?"

Although he has been with Han Fen for many years, Gu Shenwei is still occasionally stumped by her questions, "Everyone is like this, you, me, and Huo Yun all grew up as children. ”

"Alas, but when you grow up, it's not cute. ”

"Have you seen Shangguan Cheng?"

"It's him who came to see me, I can't leave Huo Yun. Who would have thought that he would grow a lot taller, not much shorter than me, and be like this when he was a teenager, how would he get it in the future?"

"What did he say?" Gu Shenwei immediately understood, Shangguan Ru's "uncuteness" had another reason.

"He said that you poisoned my mother, I said that I have poisoned many people, I don't know who your mother is, he said that my mother's name is Luo Ningcha, you have seen it, I said, oh, it's her, it seems that I poisoned me, he said you think about it again, once my mother took me out of the barracks, and in the end it was you who rescued me, I said that I remembered that I really poisoned her, he said why did you poison her, I said Huo Yun didn't like her, but if she stayed in the barracks honestly, I would quietly give her an antidote. ”

Han Fen said very quickly, Gu Shenwei could only hear the words "he said" and "I said" clearly, but he still understood what she meant, "And then?"

Then he shook his hand and walked away, and he didn't let me hug him, and he did that. Han Fen seemed to be hit by the acupoint, straightened his body stiffly, and let out a short "hum" from his nostrils, indicating that this was Shangguan Cheng's voice.

"He is not lovable, so don't associate with him anymore. ”

"Of course, he will hum, and so will I. Han Fen was a little annoyed.

"In the next few days, you will be by Huo Yun's side and never leave. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm willing to accompany her, as long as she doesn't get angry, but she's just been angry, and it shouldn't be for a while. Han Fen was happy again.

"Rest. ”

Han Fen jumped to the ground from the railing, as if he remembered something particularly interesting, and was afraid that the noise would be too loud to disturb Huo Yun, who was sleeping in the house, so he opened his mouth wide, covered his stomach, and leaned back and laughed silently.

Gu Shenwei didn't ask, knowing that Han Fen would say it himself.

"Do you know?, the little doll looks more and more like you, it's a little bit more Gu Shenwei, haha, when he first entered the house, Huo Yun asked 'why have you lost weight and become shorter', and I laughed to death. But he's not cute, and he's not cute like you. Han Fen's smile stopped suddenly, looked at Gu Shenwei, her brows tightened, as if even Gu Shenwei himself was not cute, and then snorted lightly, turned around and entered the house and closed the door.

Gu Shenwei's room was next door, and diagonally opposite was the residence of the new Dragon King Shangguan Cheng, where there was no light, but there seemed to be a pair of eyes peeping out.

Gu Shenwei walked into his room, and he still couldn't have a trace of affection for the child who was becoming more and more like him.

He untied his knife and laid it on the table, and sat down to stare at it, without lighting the lamp.

The night was shrouded, he didn't feel sleepy at all, even after six years of normal life, he still couldn't get rid of the habits he had developed before, and the imprint engraved on him by ten months of killer training in Jinpeng Fort was deeper than the burn mark on the word "Huan" on his arm, which stood in nearly thirty years of life, like a stubborn scar, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it.

Thousands of threads are entangled, Gu Shenwei patiently sorted all the information one by one, looking for usable clues from it, he knew that he was facing a huge conspiracy, the palace assassination was only the beginning and not the end, and the mastermind behind the scenes tried his best to frame the charges to the Dragon King and the Kongtong faction, and he would never admit defeat, and when he made a move next time, Gu Shenwei was going to fight back.

Killing people requires severing the relationship, and he remembered Zhong Heng's famous saying, if the enemy is a royal family member with great power, can the relationship also be severed? Gu Shenwei immediately gave a positive answer, sometimes it would be easier.

Fan Yongda and Lin Xiaoshan were deceived one after another, what about Zhong Heng? He is so smart, he will never easily believe the so-called Dragon King Envoy, and once he is defeated in the Western Regions, once he is bribed by the powerful people in the Central Plains, he will definitely accept it without reservation.

Is it going well on Qin Yeming's side? Gu Shenwei didn't reveal Qin Yeming's whereabouts to anyone, it was a weapon he deliberately hidden, and it would not be revealed until the critical moment, and no news at this time was good news.

After asking and answering himself, Gu Shenwei sat alone until the third watch, and was just about to rest, but he held the narrow knife on the table, "The door is not locked." He said.

The door opened silently, and someone dodged in, immediately covered the door, stood against the wall, and after a while said, "The people of the Central Plains allow you to bring a knife?"

"They pretend not to see. Gu Shenwei said that the Western Regions mission is not allowed to carry any weapons, and even daggers and other self-defense short blades must be left at the border, and they will only return to their owners when they return to China.

"So everyone is called Gu Gongzi?"

"Well, you can just call me by my name. ”

"It's all the same, in short, your ability is still there, and even the Central Plains can't kill you. ”

"Until the end, no one can say who is capable. Come and sit, Iron Linglong. ”

Tie Linglong hesitated for a moment before coming over, sitting opposite Gu Shenwei, and carefully observing with the help of the dim moonlight, "Your appearance has changed." ”

"In six years, there will always be some changes. ”

"Some people don't change, like ...... Shangguan Jiaotou. Tie Linglong's voice suddenly became a little strange, as if she was reluctant to spit out these words, but immediately returned to normal, "I didn't let Xiao Chu come over, I have to leave someone to guard against the surveillance of the Central Plains, we are like prisoners now." ”

"You're married?"

"No, we're just...... Live together. ”

Even though the darkness covered the outline of his facial features, Gu Shenwei could still see the redness on that face, "This is very good." ”

Silence slowly filled the room, and neither of them found the feeling of being like brother and sister before, and it was not just six years that separated them, but other things.

"Xiao Chu and I both want to ask you something. Tie Linglong broke the silence.

"Just ask. "People from the Western Regions are full of doubts about him, and everyone in Biyu Country is tight-lipped about this, only Tie Linglong, who defected to Shule Kingdom, dares to ask questions, and Gu Shenwei will naturally not object.

"I don't ask why you secretly left Biyu City, you want to come to the Central Plains to take revenge, I feel that the Western Regions don't have this strength, Xiao Chu and I understand very well. However, you are obviously leaving, why do you want to kill Xu Xiaoyi?" Tie Linglong's voice gradually revealed anger, this incident made her angry, more than the impact on Xu Yanwei, "Xiao Chu and he are best friends, for you, Xiao Chu is willing to draw his sword, and he will blame himself for it for the rest of his life." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't answer immediately, in Tie Linglong's opinion, this was like running away, the anger in her heart increased, but more sadness, she had a half-brother, but in her mind, the man opposite was the brother who had always taken care of her, but now he was like a passerby.

Gu Shenwei finally spoke, and from the depths of his heart turned out the memories of six years ago.

"When Xu Xiaoyi was executed, I hadn't thought about leaving the Western Regions immediately, and I had another plan in my mind. It was his death that made me know one thing, that I had to start purging the dragon army, and that meant killing many people. ”

"You've been killing people. Tie Linglong's tone softened.

"I have killed many people, and there are many more people who died because of me, although I did not do it, the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, the killers of Jinpeng Castle, the swordsmen of Biyu City, the soldiers from all over the Western Regions, and even my queen, but I don't regret it, it was a war, either you die or I die. But starting with Xu Xiaoyi, things are different. ”

"Huh?" Tie Linglong vaguely understood what Gu Shenwei wanted to express.

"As soon as Shangguan Fa dies, the biggest enemy of the Dragon Army has perished, whether it is to continue to fight for hegemony in the Western Regions, or to launch an attack on the Central Plains in the future, I must pinch several armies together, which means that I will start killing the people around me. ”

"Everyone is willing to die for you. Tie Linglong's voice gradually softened.

"There have been many people who died for me before, but I didn't kill them, Xu Xiaoyi was, it was Xiaochu who drew the sword, and it was me who killed people. I must kill Xu Xiaoyi, otherwise the generals will think that I am weak, and thus bury the hidden danger of **. Then I have to be even more severe, Zhong Heng and Shang Liao, I will kill at least one; your brother, like Shangguan Yun, is the target of death regardless of whether he is loyal or not; then I have to kill you and Xiao Chu, because you two have disobeyed my orders several times, and whoever kills Prince Shule for me will be wary of you; after that, I still have to kill all the children of the Shangguan family, not to mention those killers who surrendered, I can't give the impression that the Dragon King will be soft on the enemy. ”

This series of "killings" made Tie Linglong's hairs stand on end, "The children of the Shangguan family, including Shangguan Fei and ...... Shangguan Ru?"

"Especially the two of them, they are the biggest obstacle to the merger of the Dragon Army into one, and the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain have made great achievements for me, and they have the right to ask me to completely eradicate Jinpeng Castle. ”

"The people of Daxue Mountain now respect Shangguan Ru very much, and there is no contradiction at all. ”

"That's because I'm not here, Shangguan Ru and Daxue Mountain prove that they need each other, but as long as I'm still the Dragon King, no one in the Shangguan family has a chance to prove it. ”

"That's what you thought about leaving Biyu City at that time?" Tie Linglong wasn't completely convinced, but the sharp spirit was no longer there, "But after you left, everyone still killed each other. ”

"No, my thought at the time was that even if I killed these people and molded the Dragon Army into a monolith, no one would follow me to hate the Central Plains, and they would fight for me, but they would never work together as much as they did against Jinpeng Castle. As for killing each other, no one can stop it, and if I were here, I would only stop it with more killing. ”

Tie Linglong finally understood what the gap between the two was, and the Dragon King was moving forward alone, and she, like everyone else, was left behind.

"If possible, I want you to go and meet King Kang Shangliao. ”

"Why?"

"Listen to him talk about some other things in Biyu City, lest you ...... lest thou be deceived. ”

Tie Linglong got up and left, refusing to give another explanation. (To be continued.) )
