Chapter 274: Thin Lines

Gu Shenwei was followed for the second time, this time the stalker was much better than Wang Cheng, and he was more hidden, if it weren't for the fire in the peach forest in Guiyuan that reflected his shadow, Gu Shenwei wouldn't have been able to find his trace for a while.

Back at the residence, Gu Shenwei let Chu Nanping stay in the house, while he took off his robe, changed into a black cloak, jumped out of the back window, and lurked on the roof of the neighbor, monitoring the stalker.

The stalker, unaware of the exposure, stared at it all night, and did not leave until the early hours of the morning, when two people came to take over.

Gu Shenwei didn't care about the two newcomers, he followed behind the first stalker, his light skills and skills were better, and he didn't show any flaws.

At dawn, the ignorant stalker entered a house in the city and never came out.

Gu Shenwei circled around the neighborhood and found no ambusher, and when he returned to the alley for the third time, a middle-aged woman came out of the house, carrying a basket in her hand, as if she was going to buy vegetables.

But she walked straight in the direction of the center of the city, where brothels, taverns, and casinos were concentrated, and there was no vegetable market.

Gu Shenwei followed her from a distance.

The woman didn't seem to know martial arts, although she was very vigilant and often looked back, but she didn't find anything abnormal, she did see a person in a black cloak a few times, but this is Nancheng, this kind of dress is extremely ordinary.

The woman was also going around in circles, and Gu Shenwei began to wonder if she had been fooled, and when the sun was rising, she finally quickened her pace and went straight to her destination.

She came to Liuren Alley, where there were few pedestrians, and walked into a house that Gu Shenwei would never have imagined.

Xiao Fengchai.

For many years, Xiao Fengchai has been the most famous prostitute in Liuren Lane and even in the entire Biyu City, and many people feel incomprehensible and fascinated by it.

Gu Shenwei had seen her once, but that was when he kidnapped Wei Lingmiao with Shangguan Ru, he was masked at the time and didn't speak, I believe Xiao Fengchai would definitely not remember him.

So, things are even stranger.

The small building where Xu Yanwei lives next door has already changed owners, and Gu Shenwei has nowhere to go, so he didn't stay here, just know who the main messenger behind the scenes is, he has to observe for a while before deciding on future actions.

Now that he has gotten rid of the stalking, Gu Shenwei decided to take this opportunity to go to the Four Noble Truths, "stop killing" this kind of thing, it must have been made by Master Lotus Heart, and through him, it may be easier to gain the support of the swordsmen.

There is a business of renting mules and horses in Nanchengdong City, which has been opened early, so Gu Shen left a deposit and hired a healthy horse to go to the temple outside the city.

He first went to the Zuopo Monastery near the Four Noble Truths, where there was no one and the thatched hut meditation hall had long been deserted.

In front of the gate of Garan Mountain, many male and female pilgrims gathered, saying that they were pilgrims, but their faces looked eagerly waiting to see the excitement.

"Buddha bless, I hope that woman will come. A man with a shiny face muttered excitedly.

Gu Shenwei came very coincidentally, the daughters of the new city governor came here to give incense, accompanied by the daughters of the Shangguan family and the Meng family, they arrived yesterday and lived in Jialanli, but there were very few people who knew the news, and when they returned to the city today, many people came here to watch after hearing the news, looking forward to feasting their eyes.

The appearance of Luo Ning Tea three years ago has not been forgotten by the residents of Biyu City.

"Did that woman come?" kept asking, but could not get a positive answer, and some people even wanted to bribe the monk at the door, but was sternly refused.

The Four Noble Truths Garan did not allow ordinary pilgrims to enter today, Gu Shenwei wanted to see Master Lotus Heart, but the monk refused to even say a word, Gu Shenwei said that he wanted to give alms, and the monk probably thought that he was also a prodigal disciple who wanted to peep at the female benefactor, and said coldly: "Come back tomorrow, no cash ticket." ”

Gu Shenwei was about to lead the horse away, when the crowd suddenly stirred, "Come out, come out." ”

A large group of guards with knives hurried out, parting the crowd and carving out a wide path, and the ladies seemed to leave in a hurry, but hundreds of onlookers were excited.

"Is there it?" the men craned their necks insolently, and the women squinted disdainfully, but did not miss a single detail.

"Oh, no, it's neither. ”

"Are you in the carriage?"

"No, no, she's the daughter of the big-headed god, and she's going to have to ride a horse. ”

"The horseback came, and he didn't ...... Ay...... Who's that? Pretty ......."

"Ten Princes, isn't that the Ten Sons of Stone Castle? She hasn't come down the mountain for a long time, has she?"

"yes, I didn't expect her to be quite ...... in women's clothes"

No one knows how to describe it.

Gu Shenwei stood on the periphery of the crowd and saw Shangguan Ru passing by on horseback from a distance.

The last time I saw her wearing women's clothes, it was also in the Four Noble Truths, they went to meet the Tiger Monk Master together, at that time she was very uncomfortable with women's clothes, awkward like a boy, now, she has become accustomed to it, and even the posture of riding a horse has been changed to reclining, but the overly tall mount, and that indescribable trace of sassy pulling, let her be completely separated from the many female riding companions around her.

But she is really already a girl, even sassy pulling, it is also feminine, and today's women are envious but not jealous, which makes men feel excited.

This is a special beauty, which has always existed in her, but too many people have not seen it before, only the love veteran Wei Lingmiao, who knew how to appreciate it when she was eleven years old, but she didn't have the chance to see her again after three years.

Gu Shenwei's appreciation for this is even lower than that of ordinary people.

During the three years of being on the run, Gu Shenwei has been paying attention to the movements of Shibao, and occasionally he can hear rumors about Shangguan Ru.

On the same day that he was rescued by the red-capped Dapeng, Mrs. Meng confiscated her daughter's narrow knife, forced her to change into women's clothes, and put her under house arrest.

I don't know if it's because it's too far away, or because the past impression is too deep, or simply because of that women's dress, in short, Gu Shenwei felt that the seventeen-year-old girl who was speeding by was so unfamiliar, and a thin line in his heart suddenly broke.

That thin thread, connecting some of the good times of the past, has become more and more fragile over time, and finally under the blow of reality, there is nothing left to susten.

For three years, he never cared how much he had changed, so he didn't expect her to change, and the little girl he played with, had adventures together, and started a business together became a memory forever.

"Ahh

"Ho-"

Onlookers still can't think of the words to describe the women's clothing ten sons who have made their debut in three years, and they can only make meaningless noises from their throats.

"It's worth it. The oily man looked left and right, with a satisfied smile on his face, "It's not worse than that woman, I think it's even better." ”

"Uh-huh. Shangguan Ru's figure on horseback had disappeared, and everyone was still whispering excitedly, no longer interested in the team behind, and some men even closed their eyes and carefully recalled the moment just now, because they knew that in the next few days or even months, the moment when the ten princes of women's clothing appeared would be the focus of the topic inside and outside Biyu City, and as those who saw it with their own eyes, they would be subjected to repeated torture, and they had to keep every detail in mind.

Gu Shenwei rode back to the city on horseback, followed behind the Shangxiang team, did not catch up, and began to think about how to find Master Lianxin and how to deal with Xiao Fengchai.

After entering the South City to return the horses, he had already made a plan, the plan was simple, he didn't need to think about it for so long, but he felt that he needed to keep thinking about it to keep himself awake.

Soon, a flood of news was taking over his mind from the outside.

At first, he paid no attention to the chatter of the city's inhabitants, until a mad beggar came running from the streets, muffling out, "...... The dragon king is coming...... Bloodbathed in jade...... All dead, all dead, haha, all dead!"

"Even the city governor dares to assassinate, this dragon king is really red-eyed. Said a man watching the mad beggar's performance.

Gu Shenwei deeply felt that his ability to inquire about information was far inferior to Xu Xiaoyi, and it took so long to notice what people around him were saying.

Last night's fire in the peach forest in Guiyuan was not an accident, several assassins attacked the new governor, and when they fled, they set fire to the haystack, it was the dry season of late autumn, there were not many peach trees left, and the Meng family, who only spent money to buy your garden last year, only had the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms blooming once.

There is no scenery in the peach forest in this season, and it is a pet concubine who has to come and see, and the governor of the city moved to Guiyuan to live for one night, and as a result, he really experienced the customs of Biyu South City.

The troublesome concubine finally saved Mo's life, and the pampered and arrogant woman had to wear the boss's official uniform at night, which could also be Mo's own idea to add a little mood, in short, in the dim light, the assassin killed the wrong person.

Frightened and frightened, the Overseer fainted, and when he awoke, he immediately returned to the northern city, scolding the heavens and the earth, vowing to capture the Assassins and skin them alive.

If this was in Beiting, a large number of officers and soldiers would have moved that night, but in Biyu City, the city governor could only directly command a few hundred people, and it was not enough to keep them to protect themselves, let alone search and arrest them all over the city.

The ladies of the Four Noble Truths returned to the city ahead of schedule when they heard the news, and all forces gathered in the governor's mansion to discuss how to avenge the boss.

Nancheng was therefore unaffected for the time being, and everyone talked about the assassination as a strange thing.

From the city governor to the vegetable sellers, they were 100% sure that the assassin was the killer - the dragon king Yang Huan.

Gu Shenwei returned to his residence, the two stalkers were still watching outside the door, sitting under the tree, pretending to play chess, and Chu Nanping stayed in the house according to the instructions of the Dragon King and never came out.

Gu Shenwei passed in front of them, deliberately paused, and then pushed the door and entered the courtyard.

The two watchers were stunned and glanced at each other, and one of them threw his chess piece hard, turned and ran to report the situation to his superiors.

In the evening, all the watchers were evacuated.

Gu Shenwei originally planned to visit Xiao Fengchai at night, and asked her purpose in person, but she did not leak the news to Jinpeng Castle, which seemed to indicate that she had another purpose, and temporarily changed her mind, moved with Chu Nanping again, and changed her appearance again.

Then he went to a nearby tavern alone, bought wine but didn't drink it, sat until the middle of the night, and didn't hear any news worth paying attention to, and the drunkards took "the dragon king's assassination of the city governor" as a side dish, and soon stopped mentioning it.

Gu Shenwei returned to his new residence, carefully checked it, and confirmed that there were no monitors before returning to his room to rest.

Closing his eyes, without warning, the appearance of Shangguan Ru in women's clothing appeared in front of him, and the thin thread that was taut miraculously returned to its original state, but the little girl who looked like a boy was nowhere to be seen, and it was replaced by the new image now, as if she had been like this since she was a child.
