As soon as the sky was light, Gu Shenwei quietly got up and walked out of the room, the rough fresh air outside refreshed his spirits.

Jinpeng Castle is like a beast with a similar fur color to the grass and trees, when it lies down and sleeps, the murderous aura disappears, and Gu Shenwei has a feeling that he is the owner of the stone castle.

Gu Shenwei shook his head to shake off this illusion, although he couldn't see or hear, he knew that the vigilant night watchman was hiding nearby, and if he dared to trespass, he would draw out the claws of the beast.

He ran to the academy, as Shangguan Ru's companion, it was his right to walk this route, although it was a bit early, and the night watchman who saw the young man probably thought that this was a slave eager to please his master.

The entrance to the school hall was empty.

Gu Shenwei listened in all directions, and if something big happened outside the fort, it might cause a little reaction inside the fort.

Everything was normal, so normal that it disturbed him, and then footsteps rang out.

When the people who came running were Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yu, there were only two of them, Shangguan Fei and other personal scholars were nowhere to be seen, the time was still too early, and these people were still huddled in the warm quilt and didn't want to get up.

The two of them looked serious, and they looked as if they hadn't slept all night like Gu Shenwei, and they didn't pay attention to him when they ran past him, and they didn't greet him.

Gu Shenwei ran behind Shangguan Ru, only by following this little master, he could move freely in the castle, Shangguan Yushi turned his head and glared at him, but did not prohibit this minion from following.

From a distance, Gu Shenwei saw that the gate of the fort was closed, but when the three of them ran closer, the gate slowly opened, which further confirmed Gu Shenwei's conjecture, there were many guards in the fort who could not be seen, and no matter how the twins tossed, they all had eyes on them.

The gate of the fort opened wider and wider, gradually revealing the square outside.

Gu Shenwei saw the banner carried by Marshal Yang, and hung it coldly, as if frozen.

Then he saw a second flagpole.

The sun was rising, but the world was dark in front of him, and it was as if he had returned to the night of the extinction, in a dream, his legs swinging involuntarily, and he was forced to run towards the monster that had consumed most of his life.

Marshal Yang's head was stuck in his own spear, the same way his younger brother Yang Zheng died.

There were no bodies on the ground, and the two monks were gone, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and yesterday's snowfall was now frozen into hard snow, leaving no trace of the struggle, as if the spear with the head had stood there since the Jinpeng Castle.

The three teenagers stopped on the stone steps in front of the door, none of them wanting to take a step forward, and the heavy breathing after running replaced all words.

Strangely, the two girls were also shocked and lost like Gu Shenwei, as if the dead challenger was fighting for them.

As a slave who was eager to please his master, Gu Shenwei should say something to ease Shangguan Ru's mood at this time, but he couldn't say a word, and even developed a fierce hatred for the two people standing in front of him.

The Shangguan family is his enemy, and everyone with the surname Shangguan is no exception.

After a while, someone came running again, accompanied by Shangguan Fei and Qingnu.

Qingnu clapped his hands, "Okay, don't worry, this is the end, I have long expected it, a crazy old man dares to challenge Jinpeng Castle, what else can he do?"

Shangguan Fei ran a little hurriedly, holding his knees and panting for a while before straightening up, "That's it? I thought I could see the green face." ”

The blue-faced assassin is a legendary figure in Jinpeng Castle, and even the biological son of King Dubu has no way to verify the authenticity of the legend until he is qualified for the title of young master.

Except for the three teenagers who arrived first, no one was disappointed by Marshal Yang's death, and the only thing they were not satisfied with was that they did not see the murderous scene.

The teenagers were still pointing, Shangguan Ru suddenly turned around, rudely pushed away the crowd behind him, and strode towards the castle, Shangguan Yushi followed, Gu Shenwei only hesitated for a while, and was left behind, so he had to mix with the other companions.

Shangguan Fei hadn't commented enough, but it had become a habit for him to follow his sister, so he glanced blankly inside and outside the fort, and turned to catch up with Shangguan Ru.

A group of companions noticed that the master was in a bad mood, and they all kept silent, not even daring to get too close to the master, Shangguan Fei said that Shangguan Ru would be ruthless to the servant.

The group walked through nearly half of the stone forts, and did not go to the school, but came to the "Moon Holding Courtyard" where Shangguan's children learned martial arts.

The Moon Courtyard is located in the East Castle, far away from the Academy Star Picking Courtyard, but it is a courtyard of its own, not connected to the other courtyards of the East Castle, only those with the surname Shangguan are eligible to enter here, and their training methods are naturally not the same as the selected killer apprentices.

When they arrived here, most of the companions could only stay outside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when they entered the Moon Holding Courtyard, Shangguan Ru could only find someone else to be angry.

But Shangguan Ru had already stepped on the steps with one foot, but he turned around again and looked at the many companions angrily, "Can't our Shangguan family compete fairly?

No one dares to answer this question, and most people don't feel the need to answer it, this is Jinpeng Castle, and it never talks about "fairness".

"Anyway, it's killed, and it's not all the same how you kill it. Shangguan Fei shrugged and said, feeling inexplicable at his sister's anger.

Shangguan Ru was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and the experienced Qingnu coughed twice and spoke, "It's actually very fair." ”

"How can it be fair?" Shangguan Ru's tone was aggressive, and if Qingnu didn't deal with it properly, she seemed to be going to hit someone.

"We are Jinpeng Castle, we are cultivating killers, and what we are good at is assassination, the world knows it, and this Marshal Yang is naturally no exception, he comes to challenge, and he must be ready to deal with all kinds of assassination methods, so I say it's fair. We Jinpeng Castle did not pretend to be a decent family on the surface, and engaged in intrigues and tricks behind our backs, we are 'above board' killers, he openly came to challenge, we should fight, he secretly came to attack, we should also fight, everything is up to him. He died, that is, his skills were not as good as others, and he couldn't stop the assassination methods of our Jinpeng Castle. Everything is fair. ”

For Qing Nu, these words are just a cliché of Jinpeng Castle for many years, and he has only reformed it slightly, but for these teenagers who are still learning life, it is tantamount to a wonderful and profound teaching, especially a few of them who are very worried.

Gu Shenwei had been in a low mood, mixed in the crowd, and once again felt that he was cornered, but Qingnu's words were like an enlightenment, and he suddenly woke up.

He had heard similar words before, it was still at the T-junction where he was taken into slavery, and the killer Ye Sheng laughed at the swordsman of Daxue Mountain who was plotted by him, "You are always like this, 'you should have thought of it a long time ago', but you are defenseless." ”

Qing Nu and Ye Sheng's words are reasonable, Gu Shenwei has a new world in front of him, Gu Clan's martial arts are powerful, but they can't deal with the assassination methods of Jinpeng Castle, if they want to take revenge, it is not enough to only learn advanced martial arts, he still has to learn to be a killer and understand everything about a killer.

Knowing the other and knowing oneself, invincible in a hundred battles, the Gu family was slaughtered because he couldn't "know the other".

When Xue Niang trained him to be a killer apprentice, Gu Shenwei's idea was just to enter the upper echelons of Jinpeng Castle, and the reason why he was trying his best to please the twins now was a reason.

Suddenly, he saw another possibility, no matter how close he was to the master in the castle, he could kill one or two people at most, and sooner or later he would leak the stuffing, if he could understand the operation of Jinpeng Castle and all the methods of the killers, even if he revealed his true identity, he would not be afraid, he could take revenge on the outside as well.

It was not only Gu Shen who was persuaded by Qingnu, Shangguan Ru raised her head slightly, and she was also thinking, although she was the daughter of King Dubu, she still had to slowly accept the truth of "assassination is fair", and then she turned her head to look at her cousin Shangguan Yushi.

Shangguan Yushi also looked at his cousin, and the two of them had a clear heart, and they understood each other's thoughts in their eyes.

Shangguan Yushi suddenly showed a sly smile, "I want to be." ”

"Me too. ”

"Go now. ”

Shangguan nodded heavily, took his cousin's hand, and ran towards the Dongbao gate not far away.

Qing Nu was confused when he heard this, and when the two of them ran a few steps, he suddenly understood that the two young ladies wanted to break into Dongbao to learn to be killers.

The East Fort is the important place of Jinpeng Fort, and it is heavily guarded second only to the inner house, and only the killer and the killer apprentice can enter, Qing Nu hurriedly shouted: "Childe, you can't go." ”

Before the words fell, three or four figures jumped out from his side, chasing Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi.

Marshal Yang's death, as well as Qing Nu's words, rekindled the teenagers' fantasies about killers, but all the changes in the object are no longer those killers who are often seen in the fort, people like Ye Sheng, who are easily killed by challengers, but those real killers who never reveal their identities and only live in legends.

Qing Nu was angry, although he was only in his thirties, he didn't know martial arts, he couldn't catch up with the energetic teenager, and he couldn't reprimand loudly, because among the few people who caught up was the little boy Shangguan Fei.

There is also Gu Shenwei. As soon as Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi spoke, he guessed the thoughts of the two, because this idea was exactly the same as his, and he was now willing to pay any price in order to understand the true face of the killer.

The door of Dongbao has always been closed, which can't stop Jiugongzi, Shangguan Ru's footsteps have not stopped, he has already knocked on the door fiercely, the sound is loud, and it seems that someone has come to challenge again.

The door didn't open, but a small door on the door opened a crack, and a gloomy voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"

"The king has an order. ”

Shangguan Ru's frustration had long been swept away, and at this time, telling lies seemed to come at hand.

The king lord is the honorific title of the people in the castle to the king of Dubu, and the people inside were obviously taken aback when they heard these two words, but they didn't believe it very much, and they were stunned for a moment.

After a while, Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi had already pushed the door together and were ready to break in, and Shangguan Fei, Gu Shenwei and two scholars also caught up.

Qing Nu was still anxiously persuading behind, he could never have imagined that his justification of the Jinpeng killer would bring such consequences.

The people inside found that something was wrong, and immediately closed the door hard, the two girls outside were not as strong as him, Shangguan Yushi shouted: "This is the ninth prince, you are not allowed to hurt her." ”

Of course, the gatekeeper knew who the "Nine Princes" were, and the force horse descended, for fear of accidentally holding the pearl in the palm of the king's hand.

However, he suffered from gains and losses, but the people outside worked together, and the four new forces arrived in time, and without saying a word, they pushed the door together.

The crack in the door opened a little wider, Shangguan Ru flashed in, the gatekeeper groaned, a little careless, and in an instant, the other five teenagers also followed and broke in.

By the time Qingnu and the other entourages arrived, the small door had been closed again, and Qingnu could only sigh and pray that the two little masters would not cause too much trouble inside, let alone be hurt in the slightest.
