Chapter 601: The Past
Gu Shenwei had an open and honest conversation with the king of the day, and both sides were anxious to throw out the truth.
Gu Shenwei said that Shangguan Yun came to threaten to assassinate the prince, and now the people stayed in the camp, and while expressing his surprise, the king of Rizhu claimed that the king of Kuari jumped over the wall in a hurry, proving that he had been in a mess.
Both men have made a number of vows to take their alliance to a deeper level.
In a sincere atmosphere, Gu Shenwei brought up the old matter again, "Please forgive me for my straightforwardness, but this matter is in my heart, I have to ask clearly, I heard rumors that the poison on my father's knife twenty years ago was secretly smeared." ”
The King of the Day was silent for a while, taking the Dragon King's question as a temptation, and in order to show his sincerity, he decided to tell the truth, "This matter has also been in my heart for more than twenty years, well, the Dragon King wants to know the truth, and I will tell you the truth." ”
The king of the day, who had always been rude and straightforward, actually sighed, revealing a sad expression that was extremely incompatible with him, and when he continued to speak, he returned to his true colors, "My son is a complete bastard, he can get drunk at the age of seven or eight, and he learned to sleep with women in his teens, and he can sleep with any woman, even Lao Tzu's concubines and slave girls. ”
King Rizhu spat on the ground, still indignant after many years, "He is the son of my first princess, the sister of the old Khan, for the sake of his mother's face, I have always been patient and indulgent, no matter how much he does rebellious things, at most he will be whipped, but this kid, his mouth is soft and his lower body is not soft, he cried and begged for mercy when he was beaten, and before his injuries were healed, he raped one of my favorite slave girls." ”
These words were not enough to be used by outsiders, but they had been accumulated in the hearts of the king for many years, and once the lid was opened, they quickly became confiding.
"I've been thinking, this is the punishment of the gods, when I was young, I was like a murderer, so God sent a bad son to torture me, damn it, can you send it, can't I send it back? That's right, I killed my own son, the dragon king doesn't have to listen to rumors, your father did cut him, but there was no poison on the knife, and the poison was smeared on the wound of the stinky boy with my own hands. ”
The King of Richai was furious, without a hint of remorse, as if he had not yet relieved his hatred, "The Dragon King cares about my face, and there are still many rumors that have not been said, right? Some people must have said that in order to please the old Khan King, I killed my son and gave him a wife, yes, I did it, but look at what my son did to the Xiao Yan family, he used one of the most important tribes of the Naihang tribe as a brothel, and went to sleep with a woman at two ends in three days, like a stallion in heat, and threw his little stuff all over the grassland. ”
"The father of the Xiao Yan clan knelt and begged me, hoping to move to a remote and distant place, and the women of the clan were left to my son as many as he wanted. Can I do this? Let go of the Xiao Yan clan, the entire Naihang clan will fall apart, and all the tribes will rely on my protection for the sake of my son. ”
"And Xiao Yan used to be my daughter-in-law, who else can she marry? The old Khan King is her best destination, and it can be regarded as my compensation for her entire family. ”
This is not what Gu Shenwei is most concerned about, but the King of the Sun Chase kept talking, and after a while he calmed down, "I can't control it a little, please understand the nagging of an old man." Anyway, the truth is that I don't really have a grudge against your father, I pretend to be angry, but I never try to 'take revenge'. ”
"The poison was provided by Jinpeng Castle?"
"Well, Shangguan Jianyi, an ambitious kid, a typical son of the Shangguan family, sniffed around like a hound's in the Dragon Court, and somehow guessed my thoughts, and took the initiative to help me, thinking that he had mastered my handle. Hey, he didn't expect that I would marry my daughter-in-law to the old Khan King, this handle suddenly became bigger than the entire Jinpeng Castle, he was very smart, and he never dared to mention it in front of me again. ”
"But I still gave a lot of support to Jinpeng Castle, but we are not allies, never have been, the reason is simple, I have witnessed the effect of Jinpeng Castle's poison, and I will never let anyone who has such a thing get close to me, in fact, it is because of my efforts that the North Court prohibits the Jinpeng Killer from walking around at will. The Dragon King killed Shangguan Jianyi, in fact, to help me get rid of a hidden danger. ”
Gu Shenwei basically believed in the story of the king of the day, which untied a knot in his heart: his father Gu Lun was not a despicable and shameless poisoner, and maintained the impression he had formed since childhood, fair, serious, steady, especially above board, and never hurt people with secret arrows.
As a killer, Gu Shenwei takes it for granted that the hidden arrow hurts people, but deep down, there is still a bottom line, which separates normal people from killers, majority and minority, good and bad, good and evil, he accepts his depravity and is proud of it, but he will never stand in the perspective of a killer, despise all living beings, and will not change his good impression of his father.
In terms of controlling emotions, the young killer is much more skilled than the old prince, Gu Shenwei continued the topic of Jinpeng Castle and asked: "Shangguan Yun has brought a lot of killers this time, isn't the old Khan King worried at all?"
"There are too many things for the old Khan to worry about, and it will not be the turn of Jinpeng Castle for a while. ”
Suddenly, the open and honest atmosphere disappeared, and the king of the day bypassed the question, and immediately made his request, "Time is pressing, the king of Kuari will do it at any time, if he doesn't die, we will have to fight each other, and then the North Court will fall into chaos, the Central Plains will be dominant, and the entire Western Regions will be merged into the emperor's territory, can the Dragon King think clearly?"
Gu Shenwei nodded, "In less than three days." ”
The King of the Sun Dynasty smiled with satisfaction, "The entire North Court will be grateful to the Dragon King." ”
"I hope that King Richai will not use my knife as Shangguan Jianyi's poison afterwards. ”
The King of the Sun Chase smiled very happily, and seemed to appreciate the Dragon King's words, so that when the laughter stopped, it was very abrupt, "Let's tell the truth, the Dragon King has to leave the North Court immediately after the matter is completed, and the Western Regions are yours, but you and your subordinates are not allowed to step into the grassland from now on, am I clear enough?"
Gu Shenwei nodded again.
The superficially rude King of the Sun is actually proficient in negotiation skills, and he makes a threatening promise that he will never betray the Dragon King halfway.
Although the question of whether the old Khan King was dead or alive was still unsolved, by the end of the conversation, the two sides had indeed taken a big step forward in trust, and as for the flame horse that the king of the sun was obsessed with, it was not mentioned once.
"Isn't the Dragon King going to watch today's warrior contest?" the King of the Day stepped onto his mount and began to speak to the Dragon King in a cordial tone.
"The gambling game is canceled, and the competition is no longer interesting. ”
The king of the day and his party left, Gu Shenwei returned to the tent, pondering alone, when the little Yan clan came in, he was thinking of a complete assassination plan.
"Thank you for letting me know the truth. ”
"I can't guarantee that everything the king says is true. ”
"A few lies do not affect the facts. ”
Xiao Yan stayed in the camp of the country of incense last night, just to hear with her own ears that the king of Rizhu admitted to killing his son and was willing to do it, but she didn't know what to do, "It's been twenty-three years, which is longer than my age at the time, and the same age as Kunya when she died. ”
This was the first time Gu Shenwei had heard the name of the son of the Sun Chase King, and before, no one seemed to care about this detail.
"Hmm. ”
Gu Shenwei had already heard an old man's lengthy narration, and he didn't really want to hear a woman's memories, but Xiao Yan's family, like the king of the day, was full of confessions.
"Kunya was not as unpleasant as his father said, and he always treated me with courtesy, and never acted out of line. Xiao Yan was silent for a while, thinking back to his various performances from parents to slaves, and sighed, "Maybe I was deceived." ”
The sad little Yan made Gu Shenwei feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately, she quickly got rid of the shadow of the past and returned to her straightforward appearance, "Ha, but so, I thought that what I didn't get was a good thing, but in fact, what I held in my hand was the most valuable, he didn't get support from his father, even if he was alive, he was a useless man, it was better to die early, the old Khan King was at least a real man, with power in his hands and a gun in his crotch." ”
Gu Shenwei found that he was even more embarrassed, he had never seen such a vulgar lady in the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
Xiao Yan didn't care at all, didn't even notice the Dragon King's silence, and continued: "The only regret is that the old Khan King's seed is moldy and can't let me give birth. The king of Rizhu is really unlucky, the big and small clans are all from the Naihang clan, but neither of us gave birth to a boy and a girl. Fortunately, the old Khan didn't see her at all, but I was very pampered, the old Khan had just married me for a few years, and I tossed day and night, alas, there was still no result. Do you know that the old Khan had more than fifty sons, but since me, he has never conceived any woman. ”
"It's a pity. Gu Shenwei said perfunctorily.
"Hehe, you're not interested in these things. Well, I will keep my promise, you let me know the truth, and I will tell you the truth. Who do you want to listen to first, the old Khan King, the Richai King, the Kwa Ri King, or the little girl in the land of incense?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he seemed to be very much looking forward to the Dragon King asking Shangguan Ru first.
"Old Khan. Gu Shenwei didn't let her, nor did he let himself get his wish.
"The old Khan King is in retreat and cultivating. ”
Gu Shen was stunned, he knew that the old Khan King had invited a lot of "mages", but he couldn't imagine that such a thing as "retreat cultivation" would be associated with the lord of the grassland.
Xiao Yan laughed disapplauded, "The old Khan King wants to live forever, and he is now afraid of death, just like a virgin who has never experienced human affairs heard that she was going to be raped by the ugliest guy in the world, monks, Taoist priests, and charlatans invited a lot of them, do you know why he agreed to invite you to come?"
"Resolve disputes in the Western Regions and prepare for a decisive battle with the Central Plains. ”
"Ha, the old Khan King has long forgotten about the major events in the world, and it is not you who he invited, it is Xiaoyuetang, the female guard beside you, because he heard that Xiaoyuetang's secret technique can bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate the elderly. ”
Gu Shenwei was really taken aback, and then realized that he had made a major mistake and let the lotus girl out of his protection.
