Chapter 52: Escape

Among all the things that happened on this day, it was Shangguan Ru's sentence that made Gu Shen the most puzzled.

She is only twelve years old, she is the favorite daughter of King Dubu, she has just made great achievements, and her status in her father's mind is extremely high, how could she want to escape?

Could it be that this is a counterstatement, maybe there is some conspiracy behind it? But it was easy for her to kill Huan Nu, in fact, in Boulder Cliff, it was because of her intercession that he escaped and got the opportunity to be a killer apprentice.

Gu Shen was puzzled, but his hesitation annoyed Shangguan Ru.

"Why, do you dare not listen to Master's words? You are the same as her!"

Gu Shenwei knew who this "she" meant, and it was precisely because of this that he quickly made up his mind: he was going to give an answer that was completely opposite to that of Shangguan Yu.

"The disciple is willing to follow the master, and wherever the master goes, the disciple will go, and he will never leave half a step, but ......"

Shangguan Ru smiled, her smile looked particularly bright and beautiful in the moonlight.

"That's it, let's get out of the stone castle. ”

Shangguan Ru stuffed a narrow knife to Gu Shenwei, then took his hand, walked under the wall, and turned around and shouted at him.

Gu Shenwei took the knife and followed her blankly, this was just a game, and if he couldn't go far, he would be stopped by the night watchman.

Gu Shenwei had been intercepted by the Night's Watch twice, and knew that these people were everywhere in the fort.

But he was wrong, Shangguan Ru knew much more about the stone castle than he did, she walked outside the wall, put her ear on it and listened for a while, making sure that there was no problem before moving forward, and every time she walked a while, she had to listen for a while, and she went around and around, as if she was avoiding the guards.

Gu Shen listened to the wall in order to learn from her, and it didn't take long for him to finally figure out what was going on.

It turned out that he had been exaggerating the tightness of the guards of Jinpeng Castle, the night watchmen were not everywhere, they were all mobile, patrolling everywhere, but the route was not in the alley, but at the head of the wall, and every time he patrolled, the night watchman would knock a few times at a fixed position, and the sound would come far through the wall, in this way, the night watchmen would contact each other to report the situation.

Gu Shenwei didn't know much about these knocking sounds, but Shangguan Ru knew very well, she knew how to dodge the approaching night watchman, and she also knew which route was the safest.

The two walked farther and farther, gradually approaching the gate, Gu Shenwei was faced with a choice, whether to continue to follow Shangguan Ru to "escape", or to stop this game, the former to please the ninth prince, but the latter is the duty of a slave.

Gu Shenwei didn't say anything.

Shangguan Ru led him to the bottom of a high wall, stuck to it and listened for a while, unwrapped the package, took out a hooked wall from it and grabbed it, she was fully prepared for this escape.

Shangguan Ru threw the flying claw upward, but it could reach the wall and fall down, she hurriedly caught it, but it had already made a sound.

The two waited for a while, but no guards jumped out, and Shangguan Ruxuan's timing was very good.

Gu Shenwei took the flying claw from Shangguan Ru's hand, his harmony strength had just risen to the third layer of yang energy, and his internal strength was greatly enhanced, this throw easily surpassed the wall, and it was firmly stuck when it fell.

Shangguan Ru smiled slightly, grabbed the rope and climbed up.

Gu Shenwei picked up the package, stuffed the narrow knife into his belt, and followed.

There was no one on the wall, Shangguan Ru quickly climbed down from the other end, her light skills were very good, stronger than Gu Shenwei, and soon reached the ground, Gu Shenwei took a little time to find a suitable foothold.

There was no one in the open space outside the fort, and half a year ago, Marshal Yang, who came to challenge him, died here, his head stuck in the head of the gun, and now he has not left a trace.

The two of them walked forward quickly, ran over the stone beam, walked up the road down the mountain, and breathed a sigh of relief together.

Gu Shenwei felt that the escape process seemed too easy, but Shangguan Ru thought that this was the result of his own careful planning, so he was proud, turned a few corners, and turned around and could no longer see the stone castle, her courage also increased, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Aha, I've figured it out. My father didn't approve of me wandering the rivers and lakes, my mother didn't agree either, and even Yu Gongzi objected, but I still came out. Hmph, I won't come back if I don't make a name for myself! Huannu, you are still the most loyal, rest assured, with the ability of the two of us, we will definitely be able to make a difference, and I will teach you all the martial arts. ”

"The disciple is very happy to be able to walk the rivers and lakes with the master, it doesn't matter if he learns martial arts or not, the master is so powerful, what am I afraid of?"

"Alas, you're a good person, and your martial arts are good, but you just talk too much like a minion, I don't like it. ”

Gu Shenwei sneered in his heart, he was originally a slave in Jinpeng Castle, if he showed his true face, he would have been killed with a knife.

"You are the master, you see that the disciples of all sects and sects all speak to the master like this. ”

"Really, I'd like to take a good look, but that's not the case with Master anyway. ”

While chatting, the two walked down the mountain, Shangguan Ru was so excited that his mouth couldn't be idle for a moment, and he was extremely curious about the world outside the castle.

"Huannu, you weren't born in the castle, were you?"

"No, I've only been in Fort for a year. ”

"Then you must know a lot of things about the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes. ”

Gu Shenwei actually has no experience in the rivers and lakes, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and his circle of contacts is extremely limited, and when he arrives in the Western Regions, he rarely leaves the manor, and his life is more closed than Shangguan Ruyou, but his master Yang Zheng is an old Jianghu, and sometimes when he is interested, he will also talk to him about some martial arts anecdotes.

Gu Shenwei re-polished these rumors and told them to Shangguan Ru, who listened to them with relish, especially very interested in the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes.

"Are there any rules for martial arts, is it the same as that Marshal Yang?"

"The rivers and lakes outside are different from our Jinpeng Castle, they are tied up, and Jinpeng Fort does whatever they want, so Jinpeng Fort is even more powerful, isn't Marshal Yang dead?"

"But I think it's better to have the rules outside, everyone comes to assassinate this, and in the end, everyone builds a stone fort, and everyone feels unsafe, and they can't go out and walk around, it's better for ordinary people to be more comfortable. ”

"It's not easy to do what you want, there is only one Jinpeng Fort in the world, and others want to learn assassination, but they can't learn it. ”

This conversation is also strange, the daughter of King Dubu envies the rules of the rivers and lakes, but the enemies of the Shangguan family defend Jinpeng Castle.

The way down the mountain was quite long, and it was less than half of it, Shangguan Ru was already tired, and yawned frequently, "How long is it, I knew that I would bring two horses out." ”

"When you get down the mountain, you can buy a horse. ”

"Well, Huannu, you carry me. ”

Gu Shenwei moved the package to his chest, took Shangguan Ru's knife, stuffed it into his belt together, and then knelt down on one leg and let her lie on her back.

Shangguan Ru was very light, Gu Shenwei carried her on his back and continued to go down the mountain, and both of them didn't speak for a while.

"If you say something, don't let me fall asleep, or you can ask something, and Master will answer it for you. ”

Shangguan Ru's voice was fluttering, after the nervousness of the first half of the night, she was really sleepy now.

Gu Shenwei pondered for a while and remembered a question:

"Do you remember the incident when I fell off a cliff and didn't die?"

"Remember, you lied to me that you climbed up, but you actually rode up on a Jinpeng bird, didn't you? I remembered, you disobedient bad apprentice, made friends with Jinpeng bird, and you didn't even tell me!"

"Oops!"

Gu Shenwei screamed, and Shangguan Ru bit him the neck.

"Well, I ...... That ......"

Gu Shenwei didn't know how to explain, especially how to tell Shangguan Ru that for the sake of those two Dapeng birds, he would definitely kill her one day.

"Hehe, forget it, you followed Master down the mountain, you are still loyal, forgive you. Father wants to make a taxidermy of the Golden Peng, and I will take you to see it later. ”

Shangguan Ru's voice did not have the slightest apology, she was the daughter of King Dubu, and she envied the rules of the rivers and lakes, and still abided by the principles of Jinpeng Castle in her bones, in her opinion, it was more important to have two dead birds than to keep them alive.

Gu Shenwei's anger that he had managed to suppress jumped again, and he gritted his teeth, trying to control the urge to kill the little girl behind him.

"If you ask any more questions, I'll be asleep again. ”

"Yes, I haven't asked the last question yet, what did you say to Yu Gongzi, she has to kill me?"

Gu Shenwei has always been very curious about this matter, but he has not found any clues in the past two months, and Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi are very secretive about it.

Shangguan Ru laughed, and his breath sprayed on his neck, but he didn't answer immediately, and after a while, as if he had fallen asleep, he said in a hazy voice:

"Yu Gongzi told me that everyone has a chance to believe in another person once in their life, no matter what the result is, you will not trust anyone after that, she said she gave me the opportunity, I said I will give you the opportunity, she was not happy, said that you are a slave with a ghost in his heart. Don't blame her, she's a good person. Actually, she doesn't understand what I mean, what else do I say to her, trust or distrust......"

Shangguan Ru was still muttering something, but Gu Shenwei couldn't hear it clearly, she couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness, and still fell asleep.

He silently carried her down the mountain, regretting that he had asked the question.

The enemy should be fierce and cruel, so that there will be no pity and hesitation when killing them, why would she say such a thing after betraying the Dapeng Bird?

The mountain road was long, but not as long as he expected, and after a few more turns he was about to reach the end, Biyu City was faintly visible, and some lights were faintly lit in the city.

Gu Shenwei sighed, turned around and walked towards the mountain.

The moonlight is like mercury leaking to the ground, Shangguan is like sleeping sweetly, and he doesn't know that the direction has changed.

Packages, knives, little girls, even though Hopewell Jin has risen to the third layer of Yang Jin and walked so many ways, they still look heavy on Gu Shenwei.

He returned to Jinpeng Castle, passing by the stone beam that connected the inside and outside, what a great opportunity, to leave all the burden on his body, he could also jump down with him, in that case, the little girl would never know that her "trust opportunity" was given to the wrong person.

Gu Shenwei walked across the stone beam, and saw a group of people gathered at the gate from a distance, and behind him, many guards also appeared like ghosts, intercepting the retreat.

This is still a game after all, and everyone is cooperating with Jiu Gongzi to play a realistic game.

Several women hurriedly ran over, carefully picked up Shangguan Ru from behind Gu Shenwei, changed it to another person's back, and entered the fort.

No one made a sound, Shangguan Ru was still asleep, and she trusted him very much.

Gu Shenwei handed over the package and two knives, and a middle-aged woman came over and whispered:

"Madame said, you are doing a good job. ”
