Chapter 405: Yahuan
The lotus girl also glanced inside, and when she returned to the room, she told Gu Shenwei that she couldn't identify the body.
Those two headless corpses, probably anyone.
Before dawn, a miserable scream resounded throughout the village, and everyone soon learned that one of the granddaughters of the patriarch had been assassinated along with her personal maid, and even her head was gone.
Who was so cruel as to assassinate two defenseless and weak women? The clansmen and merchants in the village immediately thought of Jinpeng Castle, and the matter was obvious, the son of the chief of the Dongshan tribe had just chosen his fiancée, and the person he liked was cut off his head, which was obviously the handiwork of Jinpeng Castle.
The Dragon King easily got rid of suspicion, and in the eyes of ordinary people, Ha Chilie was a subordinate of the Dragon King, and the Dragon King would not do anything to his own people.
Hachilie was not very enthusiastic about this marriage, but ending the marriage in this way was beyond his patience, and as soon as he heard the news, he went to see the fat patriarch and vowed to avenge his fiancée no matter what.
"The murderer is not only the enemy of the Wind Swallowing Canyon, but also the enemy of my Dongshan clan, even if he is chased to the ends of the earth, I will kill him with my own hands. ”
Ha Chilie's anger was appreciated by many people, especially the fat patriarch, who had always been very calm, but the loss of two children and grandchildren in succession had devastated him so much that he suddenly looked much older.
Gu Shenwei was also at the scene, said some clichés, and spent most of his time observing carefully.
The grief of the fat patriarch is very similar, and he can't see any flaws, but this time it was only one of his many granddaughters who died, and he looked even more sad and haggard than the death of the seventh young master, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Guan Shang was also there, still hiding in the group of servants, not attracting attention at all.
After all, the Dragon King and Ha Chilie were outsiders, so they quickly retired.
On the way, Hachilie remained silent, his head hung heavily in his heart.
He probably still suspected that the Dragon King was the murderer, and Gu Shenwei didn't plan to tell the truth now, but fortunately, he would soon carry out the lotus girl's plan to lure the enemy, and then everything would naturally be revealed.
"Dragon King. When he was about to get to his lodgings, he stopped, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was there, he continued: "I don't know how to speak, this matter is ......"
"I don't want to lie to you, but I can't tell the truth right away, so you'd better not ask. Gu Shenwei hoped to use this sentence to send Ha Chilie.
But Ha Chilie showed a dazed look, not understanding what the Dragon King meant. Gu Shenwei knew that he was wrong, "Just say it, what's the matter?"
Hachilie looked left and right again, "Please come to my room with the Dragon King." ”
Gu Shenwei hesitated for a while, but agreed, Ha Chilie and his clan have a very high status in Wushan, and now and in the future, they will be a strong ally in the Great Snow Mountain, and it is worth taking the risk to win them over.
Ha Chilie's room is next door to the Dragon King, and it is also a medium-sized cave mansion, with complete facilities and gorgeous decorations, and the fat patriarch really didn't treat him as an outsider.
Closing the door, Ha Chilie was still not at ease, pushed open the window again, and looked outside for a while, even more nervous than outside.
Gu Shenwei held the handle of the knife, this kind of little trick couldn't hide from him, and there were other people hiding in the room, at least two.
Ha Chilie turned his head and saw the dragon king's guarded appearance, and immediately said: "Don't misunderstand the dragon king, in fact, it's not me who wants to see the dragon king, it's her ......."
As soon as Ha Chilie's words fell, the cabinet door in the corner was silently pushed open, and two women walked out of it, the younger one was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a panicked face, and the older one was in his twenties, just like the Dragon King, and he was on guard.
Gu Shenwei was surprised at first, vaguely guessing who these two people were, but he felt that it was too weird.
Ha Chilie pointed to the young girl and said, "This is Miss Mingzhen. Referring to the older woman, "This is ......"
"My name is Han Xuan. The woman introduced herself first, "It's half a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall." ”
Mingzhen is the fiancée chosen by Ha Chilie, and Han Xuan is naturally the master of the Lotus Girl's discovery, and the two of them should die in the bedroom, instead of standing in front of the Dragon King in a good manner.
Things have changed significantly, Gu Shenwei is still holding the hilt of the knife and does not speak, at this time, it is the two women who "came back from the dead" who need to explain.
Mingzhen is a pampered young lady, and in the event of an accident, it is not easy to stay awake, and there is no way to speak at all, so Han Xuan is responsible for communicating with the Dragon King.
"The Dragon King must have been surprised. ”
"Hmm. ”
"The Dragon King saw the corpse last night, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"What about the Dutch? I want her to stand in front of me too, and hide in the shadows to make me nervous. ”
Han Xuan's tone was a little aggressive, and Gu Shenwei didn't want to be polite to her, "If there is anything to say, it's better to say it immediately, I don't have much time to stay here, I think, you have less time." ”
Han Xuan seemed to be angry, but quickly forcibly held back and sighed, "That's right, I have less time, let's get straight to the point, Dragon King, Miss Mingzhen and I need your protection." ”
"From the beginning, who are those two corpses?"
"Two washergirls, whose names don't matter, are our substitutes. ”
No matter how perfect the guess is, there will be many loopholes, Gu Shen relied on a few words and the nature of people he understood for his previous inference, and he lacked enough understanding of the Wind Swallowing Canyon and the fat patriarch's family, and many things were not ignored by him, but he couldn't see them at all.
Mingzhen is nominally the granddaughter of the fat patriarch, but in fact she is his own daughter, she used to be very favored, but after her mother's death, the favor has become weaker and weaker.
The mother died very suddenly, leaving nothing but the grievances of the elders.
Han Xuan's life experience is more complicated, she was abandoned at the gate of the village shortly after she was born, and was adopted by the illegitimate daughter of the patriarch's family as a slave, when she was six or seven years old, a mysterious woman suddenly came, not only teaching martial arts, but also saying that she should be surnamed Han, and her biological mother has a great background.
The mysterious woman comes once or twice a year, but four years ago, she changed a woman, claiming to be called Yan'er, Yan'er was also frank, telling Han Xuan about Xiaoyuetang, and claiming that her mother was an important person in the hall and was dead, Tuo Yan'er took care of her daughter, and then began to ask if the previous mysterious woman had left something like a secret note.
Han Xuan didn't have anything in her hands, in fact, she had only learned a few normal martial arts, she didn't know anything about secret arts, she could barely be regarded as a master, but she had never really fought against anyone.
Yan'er stayed, and after a year, she finally believed Han Xuan's words, but she became interested in Swallowing Wind Gorge, she had a set of work that Han Xuan was ashamed to mention, and she soon won the favor of the fat patriarch.
Han Xuan was forgotten and continued to be a maid, she didn't know how high her martial arts were, so she never had the idea of leaving the Swallowing Wind Gorge and going into the rivers and lakes alone.
Mingzhen is the second young lady she serves, the two of them have the same illness, both once had a mother who protected them, and both suffered from the heat of the world because of the death of their mother.
Not long ago, more and more strange women came here, all of whom were acquaintances of Yan'er, hiding in their identities and rarely showing their heads.
When the traitor of Xiaoyuetang needed a bait to lead the Dragon King and the Lotus Maiden astray, Han Xuan was reminded again, she didn't know secret arts, and the martial arts she learned had nothing to do with Xiaoyuetang, so she was the ideal candidate.
As for Miss Mingzhen, it was given to the Dragon King for nothing, anyway, from the patriarch down, no one cares about her life or death.
This plan should not have gone wrong, Mingzhen is a childish young lady, Han Xuan is older, but she doesn't have any experience in the rivers and lakes, even if she knows that people's hearts are sinister, she can't see where the sinister is, she doesn't know how to restrain herself in front of the real master, and she is the best tool to lure the attention of the Dutch girl.
Guan Shang and others underestimated Mingzhen, she was only fifteen years old, and she felt more warmth and coldness than Han Xuan, so she was much more precocious, and her childishness was only her face, not her heart.
Mingzhen is like air, the people in the family don't pay attention to her, and they rarely avoid her when they speak, she guessed that Yahuan Han Xuan was in danger based on a few hints, and then deduced that she was also in danger.
The two washermen are sisters, who just died of illness at the same time two days ago, and Mingzhen's idea, Han Xuankang, came to replace the dead ghost.
Even at this time, they didn't think of escaping from the Swallowing Wind Gorge to fend for themselves, but decided to find a backer.
Hachilie was naturally selected.
Mingzhen had a good impression of this tall and rugged man, "Let's go to him and let him tell the truth to the Dragon King." ”
It was still Mingzhen who came up with the idea, but since she entered this room, she was so shy that she didn't say a word, and it was all Han Xuan who did it for her.
Such a truth, even a person who is a hundred times smarter than Gu Shenwei can't guess it.
"How many women from Xiaoyue Hall are there in the Wind Swallowing Gorge?" Although the escape story of Miss and Yahuan is interesting, Gu Shenwei is more concerned about the situation of the enemy.
"I don't know, probably ...... Seven or eight. Han Xuan dislikes Yan'er's personality, so she has never participated in or paid attention to her affairs.
Mingzhen quickly glanced up at the Dragon King, as if she wanted to say something, but the words disappeared into thin air when they reached her lips, leaving only her lips moving silently.
Han Xuan immediately deciphered what Miss meant, "Oh, Miss said that there are at least ten, no more than fifteen, and most of them live in Jiuqu Cave. ”
"Where's the Nine Curved Cave?"
Han Xuan looked at the Dragon King in surprise, as if he didn't know that Jiuqu Cave was an unforgivable mistake.
Ha Chilie knew that this girl's temper was very strange, so he answered for her, "There is a cave in the north of the village, it is said that there are no caves in it, so it is called Jiuqu Cave, it is a refuge for the people of the Swallowing Wind Gorge tribe, and it has not been used for many years, right?"
"I haven't used it for as long as I can remember, but everyone here knows about Jiuqu Cave. Han Xuan still felt that Ha Chilie's explanation was too much.
"When did Guan Shang come to the village?" After slowly figuring out Han Xuan's personality, Gu Shenwei didn't care anymore.
"Who is the customs businessman? ”
"Around thirty years old, she often pretends to be a servant woman and stands near the patriarch. ”
"She's been around for more than a month. ”
"Forty-five days. "Miss Mingzhen finally opened Chrysostom once, and her voice was quieter than a mosquito.
Gu Shenwei made a rough calculation, forty days ago was when the Wushan Tribal Alliance fought against the Great Snow Mountain in the Land of Xiangji.
When the nobles of the country of incense came to Osan to seek reinforcements, no one believed that their enemy would be the Dragon King, and now it seems that some people still take this news seriously, and it is probably not just a coincidence that the lotus girl bumped into the traitor of Xiaoyue Hall in the Swallowing Wind Gorge.
