An official of King Xiao's Mansion and several family members sent the guests out of the city, and said politely before parting: "The two of you can actually live in the palace, and you don't need to go back and forth."

Su Ai said a few words, looked at the people who were riding away on horseback, and couldn't help but sigh: "What is true and what is false, I really can't see it at all." ”

Nearly three watches, there was silence in the Huaixi Pavilion, and Gu Shenwei and Su Ai missed everyone again.

"Do you think King Xiao is not true?" Gu Shenwei had already returned to his room at this time, Su Ai diligently brought the water for washing his feet, reached out to test the temperature of the water, and put it on the ground next to the bed.

"It was fine, but he fainted...... It was a bit overdone, he wasn't worried about the emperor's assassination, but he didn't want to talk about it with Gu Gongzi. ”

Gu Shenwei understood why this young man had become Shangguan Ru's right-hand man, he was simple and intelligent, and he was able to accept new things quickly, and he had only learned to make his own judgments after only two days of work.

"He succeeded, and others thought that King Xiao and I were friends, but what he said tonight was not as much as the princess, so I wasted a lot of time in vain. Luckily, he didn't make us hungry like a princess. ”

Su Ai smiled, and then showed a hint of doubt, "Could it be that King Xiao really participated in the conspiracy, so he deliberately concealed it?"

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "It's also possible that as he said, he wants to stay out of the matter and avoid trouble." ”

Su Ai sighed again, "It's impossible to judge whether it's true or false." Brother Fan must have had a hard time these days, and he is making amends to people everywhere. ”

"Well, he coped well. ”

Gu Shenwei raised his feet, Su Ai immediately took out a hand towel and wiped it clean, and then exited the room with a basin of water.

"True and false. Gu Shenwei whispered to himself, he thought about how long six years was, it happened to be six years from his escape from Jinpeng Castle to the defeat of Jinpeng Castle, it was long enough to change everything.

He put on his shoes again, practiced his internal skills in the house for a while, then blew out the oil lamp, sat down at the table and waited silently, and quietly left the room about halfway through the third watch, and went out over the wall, and climbed up the wall of another house without going far.

He didn't jump in at once, not even at the head of the wall, but clinging to it with his fingers and toes, like a big gecko, tilting his head and peeking in with only one eye.

Not long after, Gu Shenwei returned to the ground, circled around the foot of the wall for half a circle, and climbed against the wall again, this time moving more slowly and cautiously, and he could hardly be seen moving a little farther away.

This is the gable, and above it is the roof, and Gu Shenwei, who has been cautious, made an inadvertent move at this time - coughed lightly.

The originally normal roof, suddenly a section of the ridge actually moved, a person raised his head and looked in the direction where Gu Shenwei was, but did not rush over to make a move, but turned around and jumped into the courtyard, landing silently, he was a very good master of light skills.

Gu Shenwei jumped in after the man.

The man was knocking on the door, not loud, short and regular.

The occupants of the house did not seem to be asleep, and immediately opened the door when they heard the sound.

Shang Liao personally lit the lamp, and the people who lived in this courtyard were worthy of his trust, compared with Gu Shenwei, who lived in seclusion in the valley, he looked old, but his expression became more and more resolute, and he did not leave half of his former weak temperament, which was the result of years of war training.

Standing at the door was Chu Nanping, whose appearance was still as handsome as before, but he was more indifferent, as if he didn't know tonight's guest at all.

"Dragon King, please be seated. Shang Liao called "Dragon King" in his mouth, but he did not act as a courtier like back then.

Gu Shenwei sat opposite and didn't speak, he was invited by Tie Linglong, if it weren't for that, he had no intention of contacting more people from the Western Regions at all.

"The war in the Western Regions is not over yet. "Shang Liao is not polite, he has never been a loyal subordinate of the Dragon King, let alone a friend," everyone came to the Central Plains to call the ministers and pay tribute, just to fight another big battle after going back. ”

This is exactly what Zhongyuan wants. Gu Shenwei said.

"But it's a disaster in the Western Regions. ”

"It's been six years since I left the Western Regions. Gu Shenwei reminded that he left a bunch of wars behind back then, and now of course it is impossible to go back to quell the war.

"That's right, the Western Regions have been turned upside down, so it's best for the Dragon King never to go back. This is what Shang Liao wanted to say, he left the country that was not yet stable and traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains, the biggest purpose was not to meet the emperor, but to stop the Dragon King.

"I didn't think about going back. ”

"The dragon king doesn't want to, someone else thinks, the dragon king doesn't want it now, and he will think about it later. ”

Gu Shenwei already understood the other party's true intentions, "Are you worried that the people of Biyu Kingdom will invite me back?"

"That's what they're here for. Shang Liao's expression was too serious, as if he was exposing a big conspiracy, "The Dragon King wouldn't think that Shangguan Ru was still a little girl six years ago, right? She is the smartest and most scheming woman in the Western Regions, if she is not such a person, she will not be able to keep Biyu City." ”

"So what?" Gu Shenwei certainly understands how much cost and effort it takes to survive and grow in the troubled times, Shangguan Ru's transformation is natural, in Gu Shenwei's opinion, she has actually always had this potential, but she didn't have the opportunity to show it.

Shang Liao was silent for a moment, and then began to tell a story:

Three years ago, Zhong Heng, Shang Liao, and Dugu Xian besieged Biyu City at the same time, and finally ended in Dugu Xian's unexpected surrender, so much so that some people suspected that the Dragon King secretly played an influence.

Of course, this is not true, there is no news from the Western Regions in the valley of Kongtong Mountain, and occasionally there is only a few words, at least a year and a half has been delayed, and the time has passed early.

Shang Liao was very sure that Shangguan Ru had used the power of the killer.

In the early days of the war, Shangguan Ru had publicly promised that even if the city was destroyed and people died, he would never use the killers and green faces in Jinpeng Castle, and successfully won the trust and neglect of all forces.

Zhong Heng is the weakest and has no assassination value.

Shang Liao was protected by Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong, making it impossible for the assassins to get close, and even captured three killers, who confessed that they were personally sent by Shangguan Ru.

Only Dugu Xian was too careless and was held hostage by the killer, and then Fang Wen was on the field, knowing the benefits, pointing out that Dugu Xian only had two ways to go: either die unyieldingly, and the army was scattered, making Shang Liao dominant, or announce his surrender and join forces with Biyucheng, although he no longer has a chance to be king, he can be a stable general.

Dugu Xian can only choose the latter.

"Even now, General Dugu also has a killer supervisor by his side, and he is completely afraid, but he still can't be trusted. Shang Liao is very sorry for his opponent.

Gu Shenwei quietly listened to Shang Liao's narration and said: "If it were me, I would also use such a method, and no one is qualified to set the rules of war." ”

"I don't mean to accuse or demean Shangguan Ru. Shang Liao's upper body leaned forward slightly, looking a little urgent, "I just want to tell the Dragon King what kind of person she is now, and she can do anything to achieve her goals." After a pause, he added, "She is just like you and me, the Dragon King is wary of me, and he can't be careless with Shangguan Ru. ”

"What does she want me to do back to the Western Regions? For six years, even if everyone remembers me, they will hate me because I am the one who caused all the wars. ”

"The Dragon King is too humble, there are people who hate you, but that is a minority, in fact, you are now the god of the people of the Western Regions. According to legend, the old Khan King is the god of fire, you are the main killing god in front of his tent, and he flew straight to heaven on the red-topped Dapeng to open up the territory for the old Khan King, as for the soldiers who died in the war over the years, they were all subordinates who were called away by the old Khan King and you. ”

Gu Shenwei was dumbfounded, such a legend is very ridiculous, but it is not impossible, he himself has used pretending to be a ghost to survive the crisis several times, and ordinary people are still very comfortable with this, "I actually want to fight for the old Khan King." ”

Shang Liao smiled, "No way, the old Khan King lived a long time, even if he was from the Western Regions, he was taken more seriously." In short, the influence of the Dragon King on the Western Regions still exists, and if Shangguan wants this, she will try her best to bring the Dragon King back to Biyu City, use your name to snatch Tongtian Pass from Xiaowan Kingdom, and then invade Shule and the south to establish a great empire. ”

This is exactly the plan that Gu Shen made for Fang Wenshi back then, and it is also the dream of every king in the Western Regions.

"I won't go back to the Western Regions. Gu Shenwei stood up, he had heard enough, of course Shangguan Ru would have her own thoughts, but Shang Liao seemed to be a little paranoid, and naturally pushed his ambition to Shangguan Ru's head.

"Dragon King guarantees?" Shang Liao also stood up, leaning forward more obviously, "Shangguan Ru will use all means to persuade the Dragon King. ”

"I'm not going to make any promises to you. Gu Shenwei's voice was a little stern, "Don't call me Dragon King anymore, and I believe that with or without my help, you are not the opponent of Shangguan Sect Leader." ”

Shang Liao froze, and there were still some doubts on his face, feeling that the Dragon King had not fully understood what he meant, or he had been confused by Shangguan Ru.

Gu Zhiwei walked to the door and said to Chu Nanping, who had been silent, "Are you okay?"

The handsome face that was so indifferent that he was a little distracted suddenly showed a smile, with three points of childishness and seven points of forbearance, as if he had been watching interesting things but held back his laughter, "It's okay." His voice was much more enthusiastic than his, and it was clear that he had completely abandoned the ruthless swordsmanship, "You're a little old. ”

"I'm still young, don't let me find you next time. ”

"I've never been good at this, and Tie Linglong does it better than me. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Hmm. ”

Gu Shenwei pushed the door and left, Shang Liao stood behind the table, dazed, the dragon king who was obsessed with Shangguan Ru was easy to understand, but the dragon king who talked to Chu Nanping seemed like a mystery.

These two people are a mystery, Shang Liao thought to himself, he originally planned to use Chu Nanping to persuade the Dragon King, but now it seems that it is impossible.

Gu Shenwei sneaked back, Shang Liao's words didn't have much impact on him, but Su Ai's emotion echoed in his mind again, "True, true and false." ”

The fourth watch has passed, the stars and the moon are dim, it is the darkest moment, Gu Shenwei, who was walking against the wall, looked up and saw several figures jumping into the courtyard where the Biyu Kingdom mission lived, he thought, he was not the only one who liked the night.
