Chapter 403: Asking for Marriage
What can the slave's words before he die? Gu Shenwei guessed wrong once, and didn't want to make a second mistake in a row.
But he was still interested in the faceless "distinguished guest".
The Seventh Young Master hurried back from Shiguo, hurried overnight, and entered the Swallowing Wind Gorge before the fifth watch, indicating that he was very anxious to see this "distinguished guest".
On the contrary, the fat patriarch with an extremely bold personality introduced almost half of the people in the village to the dragon king, but did not give a special explanation to anyone, and in the past two days, the only one who enjoyed the treatment of distinguished guests was the dragon king.
The slightly contradictory behavior of the father and son made Gu Shenwei's suspicions even heavier.
"Ha Chilie, you have done a lot of things for the Great Snow Mountain these days, I hope to give you some rewards, what do you need, you can speak. ”
The Dragon King suddenly mentioned the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, Ha Chilie was very surprised, "Actually, I haven't done anything, just lead the way......"
He suddenly reacted, the Dragon King didn't believe in himself, so he would say such things when the army had not arrived, so he knelt down on one leg, "The man of the Dongshan clan values faith more than anything else, and he remembers every word he has said, and he has no regrets. At that time, I said that I would go to war with the dragon king for a second time in the land of incense, and I did it, and on the battlefield, I sacrificed my weapon and asked the dragon king to lend a hand, and thousands of people saw that Hachilie's life belonged to the dragon king from then on, and it will never change again. ”
Gu Shenwei calmly accepted the allegiance of this man who was a few years older than himself, and the customs in various parts of the Western Regions were different, and he had to have different attitudes towards different people.
The environment of Osan is harsh, but there are buried ores that everyone is vying for, so the tribes here have not only the simplicity and strength of the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, but also the cunning and snobbery of the inhabitants of Biyu City, loyalty, faith, money, and strength, and at the same time play a dominant role.
Gu Shenwei could conquer the Great Snow Mountain with his sword and providence, and he had to make other expressions to Ha Chilie, "You have proved your loyalty, Ha Chilie, so I will reward you and give you an extremely important task." ”
"Please command the Dragon King. Hachilie said no more, he was happy, not the reward, but the task to be performed, because it showed that the dragon king really trusted him.
"Tell me what reward you want, what I have now, you will get it right away, and what I don't have now, you will get it later. ”
Ha Chilie lowered his head, he already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it up, now is the opportunity, maybe the only chance, Ha Chilie knelt down on one leg again, "I hope...... You can worship the Dragon King as a teacher and learn your sword skills. ”
This request was a bit unexpected by Gu Shenwei, and he thought for a while, "You don't have to worship me as a teacher, but I will teach you the sword technique." ”
"Yes, Dragon King. Hachilie was overjoyed, but he said less, and then got up and waited for the dragon king to say the task.
Gu Shenwei hoped to dig out the details of that "distinguished guest" immediately, he could wait for the arrival of the vanguard army of the Great Snow Mountain and solve all the problems in one fell swoop, but by rushing ahead of the enemy, he could always minimize the losses.
"I killed those three people. "Before handing over the task, Gu Shenwei told the truth first, anyway, Ha Chilie would know sooner or later.
Ha Chilie hung his head silently, not showing a look of surprise, he had always had this kind of speculation, even when the Dragon King denied it before, he did not completely dispel the suspicion, he claimed to know the reason at that time, but at this time he did not insist on his opinion, but acquiesced that the Dragon King's move must have a reason.
"The patriarch must have guessed that it was me, the army was coming, and I wanted the canyon to remain open, so I wanted to know the patriarch's movements and thoughts at all times. ”
"I went to inquire and I knew a lot of people here. ”
"Well, but that's too obvious and easy to suspect. ”
"What does the Dragon King want me to do?"
Gu Shenwei paused for a moment, "I want you to ask the patriarch to marry one of his daughters." ”
This time it was Ha Chilie's turn to be surprised, he was a warrior, he was not afraid to charge into battle and break into the Longtan tiger's den alone, when it came to intrigues, his reaction was much slower, "Marrying the daughter of ......the patriarch?"
Every time the fat patriarch saw Ha Chilie, he said that he wanted to marry his daughter to her, but that was a joke, Ha Chilie never took it seriously, and the fat patriarch did not force it.
"Not only do you have to marry one of the daughters of the patriarch, but you have to choose carefully, the sooner the better, and if you can, it is better to bring a lotus girl. ”
This is the first time that Chilie heard the name of the lotus girl, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down to agree, he had already said that he wanted to be loyal to the Dragon King, so he couldn't push back when accepting the task, and he also guessed that there was another purpose for this courtship.
Ha Chilie retired, thinking about how to open his mouth to the fat patriarch, a young master had just died in Swallowing Wind Gorge, and the patriarch was in grief, this was not a good time to ask for the other party's daughter.
The Lotus Girl came out of hiding, "Do you suspect that the 'distinguished guest' is a woman?"
"I'm thinking about a couple of things. Gu Shenwei replied to the lotus girl as if he were talking to himself, "Does the patriarch really not know the true identity of that slave girl?" When you revealed the truth, Yan'er's reaction was a little strange, she felt that you were the biggest scourge of Xiaoyue Hall, but she seemed to hate the patriarch even more. ”
"The disciples of Xiaoyue Hall have all been adopted since childhood, there are very few people like me, she has a reason to hate me, and it is a little wrong to hate the patriarch, with her means, it is impossible to be bullied too much. The lotus girl followed the dragon king's train of thought, and the two of them were like the same brain thinking about the same problem.
"Yan'er didn't forget to design an illusion when she was dying, but the performance went too far, which shows what she wants to hide. ”
"Another Jinpeng killer, a female killer?"
Gu Shenwei pondered for a moment, "If Yan'er is performing, the patriarch is cooperating with her performance, and when he claimed that Yan'er was a gift from Jinpeng Castle, he probably said it to me on purpose." ”
The Dutch girl's heart suddenly brightened, "There are other Xiaoyue Hall traitors here. ”
"It's all my fault, I had a preconceived idea from the beginning, thinking that it must be Jinpeng Castle that controls the Wind Swallowing Gorge, but I made mistakes again and again. ”
His conclusions were still based on speculation, but he believed he was right this time.
"It's a coincidence, I've been looking for them for a long time. The murderous aura on Hefeng's body skyrocketed and disappeared, and at that moment, she was not a guard with the Dragon King, but a powerful Xiaoyue Hall Imperial Master.
Gu Shenwei sensitively captured this moment, and suddenly understood why some Xiaoyue Hall disciples would betray, and the lotus girl was favored by the hall master, and she rose to prominence by stealing the "Book of No Dao", which would inevitably cause great controversy in the door.
In the midst of a group of crazy women, it is unrealistic to want to subdue people with virtue, and Gu Shenwei can imagine the reaction of the Dutch girl in the face of controversy.
Ha Chilie successfully completed the task assigned by the Dragon King, before noon, he made a request to the fat patriarch to ask for marriage, and thought of a set of reasonable words, "Please forgive my uncle for my nephew's recklessness, I actually ask for marriage at such a time, but I have no offense, my uncle has lost a son, I hope I can take the place of the seventh brother a little, if the uncle does not dislike the nephew's ugliness, treat me as half a son." ”
If the fat patriarch could stand up, he would definitely hold this good-looking nephew in his arms, he stretched out his arms, and when Ha Chilie approached, he firmly held his nephew's right hand, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, good boy, Wind Swallowing Canyon has always been your home." ”
The fat patriarch couldn't wait to announce the festive news in public, so as to dilute the gloomy clouds and mist that shrouded the village, and the foreign merchants were taken aback, and privately sighed that the customs here were different.
Hachilie's father was too far away, and the young dragon king was invited to serve as an elder.
It was another day of boister, with a steady stream of congratulators, more than in the morning, and it was easier to congratulate than to consol.
The fat patriarch fulfilled his promise and let Ha Chilie choose his future wife, under normal circumstances, Ha Chilie should politely refuse, completely appointed by his uncle, but with the task assigned by the Dragon King, he only refused three times, and agreed half-pushed and half-agreed.
The fat patriarch has a group of children, but there are not many daughters who stay at home and are not married, and he has lost the due meaning of selection, which makes him blame himself, Gu Shenwei proposed a solution in a timely manner, "I think Ha Chilie doesn't have to marry the daughter of the patriarch, and granddaughters can too." ”
The fat patriarch has no opinion, but he is worried that Ha Chilie is unwilling to lower his seniority.
Ha Chilie was very happy, he didn't care about the seniority, but he sighed in his heart that the task assigned by the Dragon King was really arduous.
The selection was made in the evening, and neither the Dragon King nor Ha Chilie mentioned the lotus girl, but when she followed Ha Chilie to meet the fat patriarch's daughter and granddaughter, no one objected.
Thanks to the presence of the lotus girl, Ha Chilie is willing to do everything for the dragon king, but there are some things that he doesn't want to do, but he really can't do it, there are at least thirty or forty daughters and granddaughters of the fat patriarch to be married, this is their home, all of them are calm, whispering to each other, covering their mouths and snickering, Ha Chilie is extremely embarrassed in the middle of it, and he doesn't dare to look up and take a closer look.
The lotus girl looked at him for him, not only the young ladies, but also the maids around them.
At the same time, Gu Shenwei was drinking with the fat patriarch, the dragon king had just vomited last night, and he proved that he was not good at drinking with practical actions, so the fat patriarch "put the wine", and the dragon king was responsible for "Yan Huan".
The experience of being a slave in Jinpeng Castle in the past was still helpful, and Gu Shenwei still remembered many tips for pleasing people, which combined with the identity of the Dragon King, the effect was multiplied.
In his heart, he maintained a high degree of vigilance.
The traitor of Xiaoyuetang may fall for the trick and observe the lotus girl in the pile of women, but it is more likely that the other party sees through the trick of the dragon king, and instead sees the two as a good time to make a move.
Gu Shenwei's purpose was to lure the enemy into immediate action, and the opponent's immobility was what he was most worried about.
The "VIP" of the Swallowing Wind Gorge really appeared, pretending to be a low-level servant woman, standing at the door of the cave with a group of servants, Gu Shenwei's eyes swept over her for the third time before he found the flaw, and was surprised to find that she was someone he knew.
Guan Shang, a rare woman in Jinpeng Castle, "Qingmian", Shangguan Fei's former protector, first betrayed Dubu Wang to Xiaoyuetang, and now he wants to betray again.
The lotus girl has always distrusted her, and when she was attacked by swordsmanship in the desert, the first thing she proposed to Gu Shenwei was to let Guan Shang leave.
What made Gu Shen even more uneasy was that Guan Shang was supposed to stay in the capital of Shiguo to protect the princess, Xu Yanwei and assist Zhong Heng, but now her appearance in Swallowing Wind Gorge was a bad omen.
