Su Ai cherished this opportunity very much, and was even a little at a loss, for fear of taking a wrong step or being uncomfortable.

Looking at him, Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered another young man, Nie Zeng had followed the Dragon King with enthusiasm, but he had a little more hatred than Su Ai, he hoped to learn the skills of the Dragon King and then challenge the Dragon King, but in the end he gave up hatred, after the Dragon King disappeared, he was also gone, it is said that he went to the North Garden, and there was no contact with Biyu City.

"What martial arts have you learned?" Gu Shenwei asked, the two had just walked out of the Huaixi Pavilion, and the official guarding the door was very reluctant to let them go, obviously knowing that the "Dragon King" was a special person, and Su Ai was an inconspicuous entourage.

"Su, Sumeru mustard seed mantra. Su Ai stammered a little, took a deep breath to ease her emotions, and spoke much more normally, "Thin Tiger Fist, God Transformation Fist, Swift Blessing Palm." ”

"It's all the stunts of the Four Noble Truths. ”

"Yes, the head of the Shangguan Sect asked the monks of the Four Noble Truths to pass on my martial arts, but I am not good at learning the arts, and I am just getting started. The head of the sect also personally taught me a set of light exercises, called 'Dark Fragrance Floating Shadow'. ”

Shangguan Ru did not teach any martial arts of Jinpeng Castle.

The two walked not far away, and ran into Fan Yongda, who lived in a rented house near the Huaixi Pavilion, and had been waiting for Gu Shenwei, "Congratulations to Engong." Fan Yong has his own name, "As soon as Your Majesty's edict came out, the various sects no longer dared to provoke you, and many heads of the sect ran to confess their mistakes to the old immortals, hoping to see you." ”

"I just wanted to meet them, too. ”

This is what Fan Yongda is most eager to hear, and immediately asks for an order to inform Zihe Zhenren that a meeting will be arranged by the Kongtong faction, he wants to repay his kindness, and he wants to reconcile with the Central Plains Jianghu.

At this time, it was only morning, Gu Shenwei walked towards the city, no need to disguise and cover, no one knew him on the street, although the wanted "Dragon King" notice had just been torn off the city wall, for the vast majority of the people in the capital, the Dragon King was still an inexplicable person from the Western Regions, and he was not even sure whether there was indeed a person.

"Someone was following behind. Su Ai endured it for a while, and finally whispered a reminder.

"Think of them as retinues. Gu Shenwei's eyes swept around the shops on both sides, hoping to find a familiar scene, "You have a lot of doubts. ”

"Me?" Su Ai was obviously not used to this kind of casual tone, and her voice trembled a little, "My doubts don't matter, the Dragon King is confident, he has already made a plan, there is something I need to do, even if it is told." ”

"It's okay, just pass the time, you can ask if you have any doubts, any doubts. Gu Shenwei emphasized at the end, he had said similar things to Nie Zeng back then, and this was his usual method when he didn't know what he could teach the other party.

Su Ai hurried two steps, side by side with Gu Shenwei, peeked at him, and was sure that he was serious, so he said: "I do have a few doubts, I thought that everyone thought that you would be in the Central Plains...... Kill a lot of people. ”

"I'm going to kill a lot of people. ”

"But...... You're also going to make friends. ”

Gu Shenwei could imagine how surprised those who knew him well in the past by the way he had behaved so far, and when the news of the Golden Wings Killer's defection to the Dragon King first arrived, most of the people in the Huaixi Pavilion must have believed it.

"You're from the land of incense?"

"Yes. Su Ai was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the topic suddenly turned here.

"Once upon a time in the land of incense, what did you use to kill people?"

"Ugh. Su Ai quickly recalled, and at the same time pondered what Gu Shenwei really wanted to say, "With wooden sticks and stones, there were very few steel weapons in the country of incense at that time. ”

"What do you use to kill people when you get to the Western Regions?"

"Knives, spears, swords, bows. ”

"What about the Central Plains?"

Su Ai was confused, the killing weapons in the Central Plains were no different from those in the Western Regions, but it seemed to be different, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

"In the country of incense, only nobles can kill people with sticks, so it is identity that kills; in the Western Regions, in Biyu City, only the strong with superior skills can kill people with swords, so it is strength that kills; in the Central Plains, only by proving that the other party is a bad person and a sinner can they kill quickly, so it is the situation that kills people. I was almost killed, and it was almost impossible to move an inch in the capital before yesterday, because the situation was not on my side. If I want to kill a lot of people, I have to gather momentum so that everyone thinks that I have to kill and kill legitimately. ”

Su Ai tried hard to understand these words, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, "I remember someone told me that killing someone is the relationship between killing this person, and cutting off the relationship between the target in advance, there is no worry about killing people." ”

This sentence was originally said by a person from the Central Plains, Zhong Heng, you should have heard of him. In the Western Regions, this sentence is valid, and in the Central Plains, this sentence is the law. ”

Su Ai's heart was hot, Gu Shenwei was not as cold as he imagined, so in addition to reverence, he also had trust and kindness, "To make friends is to build momentum, but ...... It's a bit rushed, isn't it?"

"Don't rush, you'll know later. ”

Gu Shenwei hoped to reconcile with the Central Plains Sect, Zihe Zhenren and Zhou Yuqing's enthusiasm for this matter was even higher than that of himself, and in less than two hours, thirty or forty heads and heroes were invited, as well as more than a dozen disciples sent by the sect to welcome the arrival of the Dragon King.

Not every sect can accept such a drastic change, as the leaders of the martial arts, Shaolin Temple and Hedong Luojiazhuang, the head of the sect did not show up, and each sent an ordinary disciple to fill the number, and the Qingcheng faction and the Yuqing faction did not have a single person, and their hatred with Gu Shenwei was deeper.

Cheng Yi is here, he can't be present for such a big event in the rivers and lakes of the capital.

For the first time, Su Ai was able to observe the difference between the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

As a kind of reconciliation, what surprised Su Ai the most was that no one apologized from beginning to end, everyone acted like a victim and was hated by the annihilation, and this "annihilation" did not have any clear direction except for those Jinpeng killers who mysteriously disappeared.

Zhou Yuqing controls the whole scene, and the protagonist is Fan Yongda.

Fan Yongda gave a detailed account of his experience of being deceived in public, and successively bowed to Gu Shenwei, Zihe Zhenren, and people from all factions, taking all the responsibility on himself, but he would rather say the word "forgiveness" than apologize to anyone.

Fan Yongda has been forgiven by everyone, this is like some kind of ritual, his apology prompted all parties to reach an agreement, from hostility to friends, no one made mistakes, even Fan Yongda is not wrong, he is loyal to his oath and ungrateful feelings, which is the embodiment of the morality of the rivers and lakes.

Zhou Yuqing prepared a dinner party, hoping that this reconciliation could end perfectly, but unfortunately it was ruined by two things.

Gu Shenwei is nominally from the Western Regions, so he has to return to the pavilion outside the city before dark, his departure is a bit disappointing, but the problem is not big, the person who the people of all factions want to please the most is not him, but Zihe Zhenren, the old fairy entered the palace alone to intercede successfully, indicating that the lofty status of the head of the Kongtong faction not only comes from age, but also has a solid foundation.

But another rumor crept through the crowd and completely ruined the dinner party plans.

The news that the Empress Dowager only gave Gu Shen ten days came out, and Zihe Zhenren and the Kongtong faction had to be tied up for this, and many people immediately retreated and said goodbye one after another, and even the reasons were very similar: the government was quite jealous of the Jianghu people, and they lived outside the city, so it was really inconvenient to attend the dinner in the city.

In the end, less than half of the people remained, and Zhou Yu Qingyi was happy and handed over most of the entertainment to Fan Yongda.

Gu Shenwei didn't care about this, at least within ten days, most of the Jianghu sects would only sit on the wall and watch, and they wouldn't cause him any more trouble.

Su Ai opened his eyes and added a lot of doubts, this time he didn't wait for Gu Shen to encourage, he brought it up on the way out of the city, "I thought that the people in the rivers and lakes were not afraid of the imperial court, at least they wouldn't care so much about the direction of the imperial court, in the Western Regions, the swordsmen went to be robbers when they were unhappy, but there were not so many taboos." ”

"There aren't many places to run in the Central Plains, but the Central Plains Jianghu usually doesn't care about the court, and this time it's an exception. ”

"It's really strange, why did the Jinpeng killers kill those sect disciples? They snatched Lin Xiaoshan and forgot it, why did they have to risk the world's condemnation and offend many sects? It was unnecessary and risky. ”

"There must be a purpose. Gu Shenwei said that he had some speculation and believed that he was close to the truth, but he would not say it to Su Ai.

Su Ai didn't ask, he knew where the boundary was, "These sects must be able to benefit from the imperial court, right?" Just like that crane old fairy, I think he is quite interesting, everyone goes to flatter him, just because he has seen the queen mother. ”

"Well, the benefits are very many, the most important is the land, and only if the relationship is good, the imperial court will continue to give land and guarantee that these lands will not be taken away. ”

Su Ai pondered for a while, and felt that the rules of the Central Plains were both complicated and interesting, "Giving land is indeed a good way, the various sects need land, but they can't take it with them, so they must always have a good relationship with the imperial court." They probably don't have much land, but they are bound by the big sect, and they have to work for the imperial court indirectly. ”

"The truth is a little more complicated than that, but it's basically what you say, except for the cloak of 'friendship'. Remember, never talk about land with the people of the Central Plains, that is taboo, even if it is a real person of Zihe, he will not directly ask the queen mother for land, there is another set of rules here, which is more complicated. ”

"I understand. Su Ai had a lot of emotion, and finally said: "Gu Gongzi has been away from the Central Plains for more than ten years, and he still knows the rules here. ”

Gu Shenwei pointed to his eyes, "When you want revenge, the way you look at the world will naturally be different." ”

Su Ai was stunned, he had heard something similar, from the high monks of the Four Noble Truths, but it was the insight of Buddhism, not revenge.

The two returned to the Huaixi Pavilion before dark, and the concubine Pang Jing had already sent someone to send the news, Princess Huaping agreed to meet Gu Shenwei tomorrow morning, the time limit was half an hour, not a single point, as for King Xiao, he behaved more generously and officially invited Gu Shenwei to the banquet tomorrow night.

Most of the people in the hall had already rested, and Shangguan Ru had prepared a spare room for Gu Shenwei, but he had to visit the injured Huo Yun first.

After getting along with Gu Shenwei all day, this was the last thing that made Su Ai feel puzzled, and it was also something he couldn't ask, until he went to bed and lay down, he was still thinking about what Shangguan Jiaotou would think of the Dragon King's actions.

He closed his eyes, his body was tired and his heart was at peace, and in the last two years, he still dreamed frequently, but there was no place for the demon old man in his dreams. (To be continued.) )
