Shangguan Hong pushed open the window slightly, the cold wind swished in, he didn't care at all, through the narrow window crack, peeking into the room with the lights on the opposite side, his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, imagining the scene of the soft sword stabbing out.

It was the night before he went up the mountain to visit Jinpeng Castle, and the Dragon King led four guards and a large number of guards to enter the southern city, and Shangguan Hong was one of them.

After wandering outside for a long time, he finally returned to the stone castle, but his identity had become an enemy, Shangguan Hong was terrified of this, and the occasional glance of the Dubu King in the Four Truths Garan was still deeply imprinted in his heart, and his father's gaze was like that of a seasoned executioner, and before he could do it, just by showing the torture instrument, he could scare the prisoner half to death.

Shangguan Hong felt that he was a prisoner who had escaped from the stone castle, and even if he followed the victor back to his old place, he still couldn't suppress the tremor in his heart.

Only the short soft sword wrapped around his waist gave him comfort and confidence.

He stared at the room of the dragon king, imagining that the man in the room who had not slept all night was a close opponent, and the dragon king was also the person he feared, to a slightly lower degree, just in time to hone his will and courage.

Across the entire courtyard, the Dragon King would not find out about his peeping, it was in this self-deceptive and riskless way that Shangguan Hong gradually felt the pressure of life and death hanging over his head, and also found a certain self-confidence, and he had a deeper understanding of the Xiaoyue swordsmanship taught by the lotus girl: survival is the greatest source of strength, and the so-called killing is not to be killed?

Shangguan Hong longs to survive, and even if his body is broken and scarred, he still cherishes the remaining parts immensely.

The pressure brought by the dragon king is just right, not as sharp and direct as the Dubu King, Shangguan Hong can accept it slowly, his right hand is getting tighter and tighter on the hilt of the sword, and the urge to draw the sword is like cheating with Mrs. Meng back then, knowing that it is full of humiliation and danger, he still can't help but pounce.

He could no longer enjoy the pleasure of being between men and women, so he had to look for an alternative to the sharp blade of the sword.

He wanted to draw his sword, desperately wanted to draw it, as if it was any later and an invisible weapon would pierce his body, and if he wanted to protect his safety, he had to strike first.

Another pair of eyes suddenly appeared outside the window, staring coldly at Shangguan Hong, who was about to burst.

Even if the ghost floated outside, Shangguan Hong's panic would not be even worse, in an instant, the blood in his whole body turned into ice cubes, something seemed to burst in his head, and it was empty all of a sudden, but the true qi was like a waterfall pouring down, rapidly running in the meridians.

Shangguan Hong finally drew his sword and stabbed out.

Those eyes had already sensed the danger, and took advantage of Shangguan Hong's fright to hide to the side, "Hey, are you really good at martial arts?"

Shangguan Hong changed his mind at the last moment, this sword did not use all his strength, but as a result, his chest seemed to have been hit hard, and a wave of depression rushed up from his abdomen, and his throat was sweet, and he almost vomited blood.

Shangguan Hong was taken aback, when the lotus girl taught Xiaoyue swordsmanship, although she said that the more strength you use, the better, but she didn't say that leaving residual strength would cause fatal consequences, he had no problem using any force before, how could he hurt himself this time?

Shangguan Hong was puzzled, but he also vaguely felt that if the sword just now was stabbed out with all its might, the power would definitely far exceed the previous level.

"It's you. Shangguan Hong spit out two words from between his teeth, regretting the mercy of his subordinates just now.

"Of course it's me. Shangguan Fei's eyes appeared through the crack in the window again, he was also one of the four guards chosen by the Dragon King, "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you staring at the Dragon King's room?" ”

Shangguan Hong closed the window and refused to answer, as long as the Dragon King didn't ask, he couldn't explain it to anyone.

Shangguan Fei pushed the door in, leaving a way to retreat, "I know what you're thinking, you're afraid to go back to the stone castle, hoping that the Dragon King will take back his life, but you don't dare to squeak, right?"

Shangguan Hong stared at the enemy he hated the most, "I don't care about what I think, Jinpeng Castle is nothing to fear, it's just an ant in front of the Dragon King." ”

Shangguan Fei was actually more afraid than Shangguan Hong, and begged the Dragon King in private, but was categorically refused, and he asked his mother for help, and Mrs. Meng actually supported the Dragon King, asking her son to enter the stone castle with the momentum of the future Dubu King.

Didn't his mother understand that if he could face his father calmly, he wouldn't need the protection of the Dragon King at all? Shangguan Fei really hoped that he could get seriously ill and avoid this catastrophe, so he made an attempt, deliberately ran his true qi indiscriminately, trying to get some symptoms of going mad, but as soon as the cold qi in his body showed signs, he gave up, instead of enduring this hellish pain, it was better to go to his father hard......

He decided to ease his fears in another way, so he came to meet his half-brother.

"Alas. Shangguan Fei sighed, turned around and closed the door, and sat on a chair, "Actually, I'm scared to death, it has nothing to do with the stone castle, it's a good place, but...... But when I think of the king, I feel that my feet are weak. ”

There was no light in the room, and the two of them just sat and stood together, Shangguan Hong was still vigilant, not understanding what Shangguan Fei's intention was to complain to him, "Everyone is afraid of him." He reluctantly replied, if Shangguan Fei was afraid of someone else, he would definitely be sarcastic, except for Dubu Wang.

They were both sons of the Dubu King, and they were unfavored sons, and the brothers were almost dead, and the fear of their father was only understood by the two of them.

"I've been afraid of him since I was a child. Shangguan Fei continued, "Every time I dream of him, it is related to murder, limbs flying, blood splattering, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I still wet the bed when I was ten years old, I was scared by nightmares." ”

Shangguan Fei took the initiative to talk about the ugly things when he was a child, Shangguan Hong was surprised, his vigilance was also eliminated a lot, and he endured it for a while before saying: "It's all the same, I used to tell my mother that if I could move out of the stone castle, even if I sold vegetables along the street, it would be more reassuring than living in the stone castle, and I didn't know who the king was at that time...... Father. ”

"Well, everyone is afraid of the king, but no one knows that we children are actually the most afraid. ”

Shangguan Fei actually used the word "we" to admit that they were brothers, Shangguan Hong was even more surprised, his hatred gradually faded, and even a trace of sympathy, "The brothers are killing each other, in fact, there is not much hatred, because they are afraid that the king will say that they are cowardly and incompetent." ”

Shangguan Fei nodded in agreement, "There are exceptions, our sister is not afraid of the king, she dares to be coquettish in front of him since she was a child, and she can do whatever she wants when she grows up, and she will be forgiven if she sheds two tears - that little slut." ”

Shangguan Fei cursed his twin sister fiercely, Shangguan Hong simply had a good impression of him, "Because she is as cruel as the king, remember? When she was still in the school, she dared to kill people, and beating people was commonplace, you and I have suffered from her." She is pretending to be merciful now, not to gain the support of the Four Noble Truths, I suspect that this is a conspiracy that she has discussed with the royal lord. ”

"That's right. Shangguan Fei slapped his thigh, "I think so too, but it's a pity that the dragon king was fascinated by the little slut and couldn't see the truth clearly." ”

The two brothers became closer and closer the more they talked, and Shangguan Hong still held a grudge, but he no longer had the urge to kill each other immediately.

"The king hated his sons. Shangguan Fei said in a mournful voice, "Especially me, he thinks that I have disgraced him and Shibao, in fact, he is not a womanizer himself, but ...... It's just a slight difference, it's not that I can't give birth to sons, if necessary, it's okay to have a hundred. ”

"Hey, can the lord hate you more than he hates me, but I ...... with Mrs. Meng" Shangguan Hong shut up in time, and when it came to rising, he almost forgot that Mrs. Meng was Shangguan Fei's biological mother.

Shangguan Fei rarely did not get angry about this sensitive matter, "Living in a stone castle, with a father like that, everything can be forgiven." ”

Shangguan Hong didn't squeak, he just had a good impression of Shangguan Fei, and he didn't want to use Mrs. Meng to destroy this rare family relationship.

"To tell you the truth, I was very, very surprised that the Lord did not kill my mother, and it stands to reason that this is not his surname. ”

"I think I know a little bit about why. "Shangguan Hong has almost no contact with his father, and he and Mrs. Meng have never trusted each other, but in bed, the two will still inadvertently reveal secrets that others can't know," the king still loves...... Your mother, your mother also loves the king, and they prove it by torturing each other, which is difficult for others to understand. Your mother wants to give birth to another son for the king, because the king believes in the prophecy of 'ten sons become kings', and I am not counted, and Shangguan Ru will not be able to be a son no matter how favored he is. ”

Shangguan Hong's tone was full of bitterness, he was the son of King Dubu, but he couldn't get his father's recognition.

Shangguan Fei was also bitter in his heart, he thought that he was his mother's only support, but he didn't expect her to want to give birth to a younger brother, "According to what you say, the king must hate you even more." ”

"Isn't it, actually...... You're also affected by me. ”

Neither of them would say a straight word of apology.

"Did you see the Lord that day at the Four Noble Truths?"

"See. ”

"How?"

"He hated me, I could feel it, he wanted to tear me to pieces. ”

"Did you hear that? The king killed your mother the other day. ”

"What?" Shangguan Hong had very little contact with Shibao, and his mother was not an important person, so he didn't know about her death.

"I didn't want to tell you, but sooner or later you'll know, so it's better to be prepared. ”

Shangguan Hong was silent, he didn't have much affection for his mother, he just felt his father's hatred from her death.

"It is said that the king tortured your mother for three days and three nights before killing her with his own hands, and afterwards he said that you will only be tortured even more in the future. ”

Shangguan Fei's tone was soft, as if he was afraid of scaring his brother, but Shangguan Hong was even more scared, took two steps back, sat on the bed, and held his head in his hands, "I don't want to go back to Shibao, I want to tell the Dragon King, let me go back to Shiguo, it's best to go to the country of incense." Shangguan Fei, you are more familiar with the Dragon King, can you ......?"

Shangguan Hong raised his head and was surprised to find that Shangguan Fei had already stood up, and the room was dim, but through the moonlight that came in through the window, he could still vaguely see the smug smile on his face.

"Shangguan Hong, I'm just here to tell you one thing, the king really hates you, even more than he hates the Dragon King, he will torture you to the point that life is worse than death, and all the torture instruments in the stone castle are waiting for you. The dragon king is going to give the king the main person tomorrow, maybe he will exchange you for you. ”

Shangguan Fei laughed and left, he finally turned some of his fear to Shangguan Hong.
