Chapter 863: Convulsions
Shangguan Hong didn't expect that he would be summoned, he was just ordered by King Ju to send some winter things to the Dragon King, he thought that the process would be very simple, he had never received this kind of treatment when he was in the Dragon Court before.
He still remembered that he once went to Tongtian Pass to try to persuade Shang Liao to join Queen Ju, it was a humiliating failure, maybe the right general Shang Liao told everything to the Dragon King, he thought, his heart couldn't help but be worried, undecided, I don't know if I should confess Queen Ju.
"I hate everyone in the Shangguan family. Shangguan Hong thought of a set of excuses to clear Queen Ju, but it didn't work.
Most of the exquisite furnishings in the tent had been moved out, so it seemed even more empty, and the dragon king stood alone at the table, and there seemed to be an endless distance from the door to him, Shangguan Hong immediately felt the indescribable majesty, and his heart was both envious and jealous, and he knelt down unconsciously.
He was a little used to this action, so much so that when he remembered the scene where Huan Nu asked him for help many years ago, it felt extremely unreal.
"Minions...... Meet the Dragon King. Saying these two words in front of the Dragon King, Shangguan Hongbei felt difficult, but he had never had this kind of resistance to Queen Ju.
"Get up. ”
Shangguan Hong slowly stood up, bent down and bowed his head, humble as an old slave who had been in the palace for many years.
Gu Shenwei looked at it for a while, from a darling to a cheap slave, from a cheap slave to a king, he has experienced it, so he has no sympathy in his heart, he is observing every subtle movement of Shangguan Hong, especially the walking posture, the level of a person's skill is usually shown in the pace, the stronger the body, the deeper the skill, the less muscles are mobilized when stepping, which is difficult to hide.
Shangguan Hong did a good job, like a well-trained minion, his steps were small and fast, and he himself was a person with a bit of martial arts, so Gu Shenwei couldn't see the depth of his skills for the time being.
"What did the Dragon King call me for?" Shangguan Hong felt Rumang on his back, and his tone became a little stiff.
"Tell me about the secret passage again. ”
"What secret way?" Shangguan Hong was surprised and found that his previous guess was all wrong.
"The secret path you told me. ”
Shangguan Hong remembered that it was more than a year ago, when he followed the Dragon King from the Shule Kingdom in front of the sea, in order to show his loyalty, he excitedly revealed an important secret: there was a secret road from the bottom of the mountain to the peak.
"Ah, yes, I did. ”
"Go on. ”
The Dragon King's tone was casual, as if this was a simple request, but Shangguan Hong felt a huge pressure, since he accepted the purchase of Huan Nu as a master, this pressure has existed, and every time they meet, it will become stronger and stronger, and now it has reached the point where he is powerless to resist.
"Yes...... In this way, Jinpeng Fort is located at the top of the mountain, there is no water source, and it needs to be transported from the bottom of the mountain, but it is worried that there will be no water available after the siege, so it has carved a secret passage to the river at the bottom of the mountain, which can ensure that there is no shortage of water in times of crisis. ”
"Dig out the secret passage?" The peak is hundreds of feet high, and the water through the chiseled wall seems to have exceeded the scope of manpower.
"I don't know the specifics, I just ...... I heard a few words from Mrs. Meng, really, Dragon King, I don't have a single lie, this secret path must exist, and I know this. ”
Shangguan Hong's heart was restless, the Dragon King neither spoke harshly nor pressed him, but he just felt nervous and scared, and really hoped that this conversation would end quickly.
Gu Shenwei looked at it for a while, Shangguan Hong had changed greatly, and only when he couldn't hold his breath did he reveal his former shadow.
"Stand down. ”
"Yes. Shangguan Hong couldn't wait to exit the tent, and was blown by the north wind outside, shivering, only to suddenly realize that a layer of fine sweat appeared on his body.
He hurried to his tent, reassuring himself that there was no flaw, but the dragon king was still in the dark, and his mood gradually calmed down, until he entered the dwelling, he was stunned, and found that the matter was not over.
Shangguan Fei looked at his half-brother with a smile, "How are you?" ”
In front of the Dragon King, Shangguan Hongshang could barely maintain his composure, and in the face of Shangguan Fei, the person who had brought him a lifetime of pain, his anger poured out instantly, and his body shook and pounced on the enemy.
Shangguan Fei neither dodged nor fought back, straightened his chest and said, "Oh, Mr. Hong is good at martial arts." ”
Shangguan Hong stopped abruptly, his cheeks were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing here?"
"In any case, we all have the same surname, and I came to see you, is there anything wrong with it? I heard that you are favored in front of the queen, and I am counting on you to promote me in the future." ”
Countless thoughts popped up in Shangguan Hong's mind, and finally he said: "That knife didn't kill me, it was your mistake, Shangguan Fei, the great shame you inflicted on me, I will repay it sooner or later, before that, enjoy it." ”
Shangguan Fei showed a frightened expression and patted his heart, "Manager Hong, you want to scare me to death, don't you know if I'm cowardly? Besides, there is only one thing for men, and you want to 'double the return', it's really a bit difficult, haha." ”
Shangguan Fei laughed, for the first time he found that Old Man Mu's influence also had a good side, at least he was no longer clumsy.
The red tide on Shangguan Hong's face slowly receded, "How is your mother?" I heard that King Dubu drove her to live under the mountain, and she is finally free, well, there is only one thing for men, but Mrs. Meng will not feel ......"
Shangguan Fei was poked in the sore spot, grabbed Shangguan Hong's collar, and raised his fist high, "You are not allowed to mention my mother, believe it or not, I will kill you with one punch, the Dragon King didn't care when he cut off the root of your life, and now he won't take it to heart when he kills you." ”
Shangguan Hong looked at the other party coldly, his will was unprecedentedly firm, which he couldn't do in the past, he reached out to block the angry arm, turned his head and spat on the ground, "I'm waiting for you." ”
Shangguan Fei seemed to be frightened, his anger decreased slightly, he walked around Shangguan Hong to the door, and threw down a sentence before leaving the tent, "Don't forget, your mother still lives in the stone castle." ”
Shangguan Hong didn't care, his mother was a cowardly and incompetent woman, she slept with King Dubu, but she didn't dare to make a noise, she didn't bring any benefits to her own son, if she knew that she was the illegitimate son of the king since she was a child...... Shangguan Hong imagined such a scene: he kept secrets, but his heart would be completely different, he was no longer the timid and fearful Hong Gongzi, the twins naturally did not dare to treat him as a slave, and Zhang Ji would not treat him as a tool that was used and thrown away.
After a moment of satisfaction, what floated was greater loss and hatred, Shangguan Hong had a premonition, but he couldn't control his body, he fell to the ground and twitched violently, especially his arms, as if they were thrown to the shore of a live fish, and kept slapping up and down.
Shangguan Hong gritted his teeth and gurgled his teeth, regained a little control of his right hand, took out a small wooden box from his arms, and poured the only pill left in it into his mouth.
With a shake of his hand, the pill fell to the ground, Shangguan Hong almost pounced, opened his mouth to swallow the pill, and didn't care about the broken hair that bit on the felt.
The convulsions gradually stopped, and Shangguan Hongping lay on the ground, knowing that he had to ask for an antidote again.
What does it really feel like to be free? He had no clue at all.
Shangguan Fei didn't see the embarrassment of his half-brother, but ran directly to see the Dragon King, "It's him, it's wrong, his eyes are exactly the same, and his strength is a lot greater, just like the previous Shangguan Hong." ”
"It's strange, he hasn't shown anything special when he was in the Dragon Court. Gu Shenwei also saw the changes in Shangguan Hong, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Well, it's quite strange, the qualifications of Guan Hong, even if he practices to death, he can't reach the current level, just pick it out with him, Shangguan Hong's martial arts have improved, but his surname has not changed, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he can't hold his breath, as long as he tortures him a little, he promises to say everything. ”
To Shangguan Fei's disappointment, the Dragon King was not optimistic about this plan, shook his head and said, "Can you follow him?"
"Absolutely. "Shangguan Fei is afraid of taking risks, but he is not afraid of Shangguan Hong, even if the other party's martial arts are on par with his own, he is not afraid," Shangguan Hong learned all the kung fu in Jinpeng Castle, and that night I and Tu Gou were only a few steps away from him, and he never found out. ”
"Follow him, don't show up no matter what happens, come back and tell me. ”
"Yes. Shangguan Fei felt that this mission would not be dangerous.
"There is one thing, go back and ask Mrs. Meng. ”
"Dragon King, please speak. ”
"Well, let's just say I want to know what's going on with the Stone Castle Secret Passage. ”
Shangguan Fei looked dazed, obviously he hadn't heard of the secret way, "The Dragon King won't listen to Shangguan Hong's nonsense, right? That kid dares to make up any lies in order to save his life." ”
"Let Mrs. Meng judge the truth or falsehood. ”
"Yes. Shangguan Fei retired, but he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart, if there was really a secret way, his mother leaked it to Shangguan Hong, but he hid it from himself, it would be a big blow.
Shangguan Hong is an enemy full of flaws, and Gu Shenwei wants to know who the person who accused him is.
He ordered someone to summon Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong in.
Tie Linglong was in front, and Chu Nanping followed, standing in front of the Dragon King, five or six steps apart, cold to each other as if they were strangers.
"I have a task for you......"
"I don't want to go on a mission with him. Tie Linglong immediately objected, and she was the only one who was indifferent to the dragon king's majesty.
"Well, I see, but that's my order. Gu Shenwei felt a deep headache, and he didn't know how to persuade the girl surnamed Ren, so he could only accentuate his tone.
Tie Linglong wanted to speak and stopped, although she no longer objected, she turned her head to show resistance.
"Go find Xu Xiaoyi, he will tell you an address, monitor there, and don't go in under any circumstances. ”
"Does the Dragon King suspect that there is a trap?" Tie Linglong couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"Quite possibly, so don't be fooled, just come back and tell me what you see. ”
"Don't worry, Dragon King, I won't let you down. ”
Tie Linglong showed excessive enthusiasm, which made Gu Shenwei feel even more headache.
