Chapter 133: The Gathering
The war between Jinpeng Castle and Xiaoyue Hall and the Great Wilderness Gate was thunderous and rainy, and the deaths were all inconspicuous small characters, and there were many innocent people, Gu Shenwei now understood that the war in the city was simply a sound attack on the west, and the real target of the Great Wilderness Gate was Jinpeng Castle.
Tie Hanfeng didn't care about this, after two days of busy work for Shibao, he was finally free, he was very happy to help his apprentice resolve an enemy, especially this enemy was the fifth son of the Meng family, a famous young rich man, he had long wanted to get acquainted.
There were signs of chaos at the feast from the beginning.
There are two reasons why Meng Mingshi agreed to the invitation of a lowly minion, one is that the name of the big-headed god is not easy to refuse, and the other is that he suddenly misses Xu Yanwei.
When Meng Mingshi was fifteen years old, he secretly ran to Nancheng to fool around, and the protector and teacher around him was the Big-bellied Buddha, and the first woman that the Big-bellied Buddha introduced to his son-in-law was his daughter.
When Meng Mingshi first set foot in the Qinglou, there was still a young man's jerkiness, but Xu Yanwei, who was the same age as him, was already a veteran of this way, and the things she taught, Meng Wugongzi still used it until now.
The night before, when he learned that he was going to have a banquet for Meng Mingshi, Xu Xiaoyi told a lot of anecdotes about the fifth son, and he was still a little nostalgic for him in his words, "There is a saying in this industry, a man will always fall in love with the first woman he prostitutes, Meng Wugongzi fell in love with my sister back then, and he loved him to death, and he threw away too much silver to count, and it all fell into the pocket of the old thing." ”
Speaking of his father, Xu Xiaoyi was still indignant.
Tie Hanfeng raised his head, remembering the first prostitute he had prostituted, and after a while, he smiled and nodded, "That's really the case, ah, if you don't mention this, I will almost forget about that woman." ”
Only Gu Shenwei had a cold face, he was in unresolved troubles, and the two people in front of him couldn't help.
Xu Xiaoyi also raised his head, revealing an expression similar to that of an iron cripple, "So, you must be cautious for the first time, look at me, I'm still looking for it." ”
"You're because you don't have any money. Tie Hanfeng showed no mercy and revealed Xiaoyi's old bottom, "If you are a prostitute, you have to explain to me where the money came from first." ”
Xu Xiaoyi sneered and turned the topic back to Meng Wugongzi, "There is also a saying in this industry that a prostitute must not fall in love with the first man who prostitutes. ”
"Why?" "Although Tie Hanfeng was a frequent visitor to Fengyue, he had never heard of this sentence, "I said, why did that woman suddenly ignore me at the beginning." ”
"It's all a matter of experience. Xu Xiaoyi took a sip of wine, as if his qualifications were older than Tie Hanfeng, "Those hairy boys, think of ** things more beautiful than anything else, the first **, full of fantasies are transplanted to the prostitute, and they are willing to pay everything for her." When he got tired of watching and playing, he thought about finding the next prostitute, and then found that the first one was nothing special, and there was always something better than her. Therefore, if you are emotional, you will fall into a trap, and when you are abandoned, you will have no face or money, and you will not even cry. Let's talk about the fifth son, he loved my sister so much at the beginning, and when my sister and I were in trouble last year, he didn't miss the old at all. ”
This was obviously not something Xu Xiaoyi could come up with, Gu Shenwei was not interested in "prostitution", but Tie Hanfeng was greatly moved, and even said "I see", and for a while sadness came from it, he kept drinking, and he was still muttering something in his dreams after going to bed.
As soon as he opened his eyes the next day, Tie Hanfeng returned to normal.
When it was almost noon, Meng Wugongzi arrived with a group of entourage, and the first thing he did when he entered the door was to complain to Xu Yanwei, regardless of the presence of others, and shed a few tears before changing his smiling face, and exchanging admiration with Tie Hanfeng for a long time, and his only expression to Huan Nu, the "kid with a knife", was to nod.
Gu Shenwei knew in his heart that this banquet was in vain, he not only offended Meng Mingshi, but also saw the ugliness of the fifth prince in a moment of crisis, and this hatred could never be resolved.
For Luo Ningcha and Tie Hanfeng, this meeting is meaningful, the former shows his control over the house slaves, and the latter befriended an important person, Tie Hanfeng had met Meng Wugongzi before, but this was the first time they had a drink at the same table.
The banquet was placed upstairs, Gu Shenwei officially apologized, and after obtaining Meng Wugongzi's vague understanding, his mission was over, and basically no one cared about the brown belt killer anymore.
Meng Mingshi spent more than half of his time flirting with Xu Yanwei, and the memory of a few years ago came back to his heart, and this woman seemed to be full of charm in his eyes.
Meng Wugongzi brought three Qingke, each performing his own duties, the first is responsible for talking and joking, to ensure that it will not be cold, the second does not speak often, most of the time is stuffing things into his mouth, but his eyes are not far from the fifth prince, from time to time to clap his hands and applaud, when the fifth prince is clumsy for a while, he immediately explains in easy-to-understand words, the third one is dedicated to entertaining Tie Hanfeng, fighting wine and fighting, looking at the posture, not waiting for the drink, the two have to become brothers with different surnames.
Xu Xiaoyi ran up and down, directing the temporarily hired servants to serve food and wine.
Therefore, when Gu Shenwei sat in front of the window and thought about his thoughts, no one even noticed him leaving the table.
The autumn breeze is cool, and it is very pleasant to blow on the face, and Gu Shenwei urgently needs to make his brain clearer.
During the day, Liuren Lane is relatively deserted, there are almost no people on the street, and all brothels are closed for rest, only a maid ring in the opposite building is cleaning up the mattress, patting the dust, and the muffled sound of banging comes from time to time, as if the excitement of the entire Liuren Lane is on the banquet behind Gu Shenwei.
Just outside, in the seemingly frozen scene, a black-clothed masked man stepped on the ridge of the house and walked quietly, with a cat bent on his waist, and the narrow knife in his hand was already unsheathed.
Directly opposite, the man in black turned his head to look at Gu Shenwei, as if he was not worried about being exposed at all, and then jumped onto the eaves, turned over with a light harrier, jumped into the building, raised the knife in his hand, slapped the ring of the mattress and fell, and the man in black stepped forward to hug her to prevent making a noise.
Two more men in black appeared from behind the ridge, jumped into the building at the same time, and separated from the first man in black to find their target, and quickly went downstairs.
None of them cared about Gu Shenwei's gaze.
Gu Shenwei recognized these three people, they were all brown belt killers in the small flag camp, and one of them was also a former member of the "Arm Slave Gang", who was very loyal to Huan Nu, although he was masked, Gu Shenlai could recognize him.
Assassination in broad daylight is not like the style of Jinpeng Castle, but Gu Shenwei immediately woke up to the fact that Liuren Lane is a place where black and white are reversed, lively at night and deserted during the day, and the choice of the brown belt killers is reasonable.
Gu Shenwei didn't understand the next thing, the man in black didn't quietly retreat along the same path after killing the target, but opened the door downstairs and released an old servant woman who was flying out of the sky, shouting heartbreakingly: "Kill!"
Gu Shenwei came to an abrupt end to the banquet behind him.
Tie Hanfeng was the first to jump to the apprentice's side, looked out, turned around and said, "Liu Yin'er on the other side has been killed. ”
Xu Yan screamed slightly, hiding behind Meng Wugongzi and shivering, Qingke, who was in charge of telling jokes, didn't seem to react for a while, "Liu Yin'er is the best friend of the fifth prince, who dares to kill her?" She wants the fifth prince to accompany her." ”
Liu Yin'er is not only one of Meng Mingshi's friends, but also a prostitute who is attached to the power of the Meng family, these days, almost all the brothels in Nancheng have been turned over by the swordsmen hired by Jinpeng Castle, but no one dares to move in Liuren Lane, just because these prostitutes have a big backing behind them.
Meng Mingshi stroked Xu Yanwei's shoulder with one hand and held the wine glass with the other, just like Qingke, he didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, "Annoying bitch, disturb my drinking, I'll kill her myself later." ”
There was no need for Meng Wugongzi to go over in person, the servant woman in the opposite building already knew that Wugongzi was drinking here, and she had already stumbled up, and Xu Xiaoyi couldn't stop her.
"Fifth son, big official, my ancestor, oh my God, murder, girl...... Miss ......"
The servant woman spoke incoherently, but there was a large stain of blood on her breast, which was a conclusive indication of the bloody events that had taken place in the building opposite.
"Boy Rain is here. Gu Shenwei reminded, vaguely understanding what the intent of this blatant assassination was.
Shangguan Yushi led ten brown belt killers to gallop on horseback, stopped at the opposite downstairs, and listened to a man in black report the situation.
The maid's shouts had awakened the entire Liuren Alley, and someone in almost every building had probed out to check on the situation.
Meng Wugongzi's face changed suddenly, he threw down his wine glass and Xu Yanwei, and ran to the window in a few steps, "You...... Rain Boy...... What are you doing? How are you going to kill my people?"
Shangguan Yushi glanced up, did not answer, but walked into Xu Yanwei's small building, and walked upstairs with his feet, still ignoring Meng Mingshi, "Huan slave, you seem to have forgotten that you are the killer of the Xiaoqi Battalion." ”
Shangguan Yushi asked Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl to report the progress every day, but Gu Shen was troubled, and he forgot about it yesterday, "I was busy looking for clues, and I didn't have time to return." ”
"Where's the Lotus Girl?"
"Under surveillance. ”
Meng Wugongzi's face turned from white to red, "Stop, you two will talk about it elsewhere, give me an explanation first, why did you kill my woman?"
Shangguan Yushi seemed to have just seen Meng Mingshi, and said proudly: "Your woman, she is a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, is the fifth prince very familiar with the enemies of Jinpeng Castle?"
"How is that possible? She's not ......"
"I have proof. ”
"Framed, you want to take revenge on me, go, let's go to Jinpeng Fort to ask for an explanation!"
The two quarreled with each other, and no one dared to interject.
Shangguan Yu came prepared from time to time, gained the upper hand, and occasionally turned to Huan Nu, accusing him of betraying the Ten Princes, in her opinion, Meng Mingshi and Shangguan were enemies, and Huan Nu actually drank with the enemies of the Ten Princes, which was a great rebellion.
Whether Liu Yin'er is a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall or not, Gu Shenwei doesn't know, but he knows the purpose of Shangguan Yushi's move, she just wants to make a big deal and let everyone know that Huan Nu has become a member of the Meng family, and then she doesn't need to speak, and someone will spread the news to Shangguan Ru's ears.
Shangguan Yushi may have never heard the phrase "severing the relationship" before killing, but she is severing the relationship between Huan Nu and Shangguan Ru according to this theory.
It seems that Xu Yanwei's small building is not lively enough, I don't know who sent the message, and after a while, Mr. Guo, the leader, also came, and he wanted to ask why Xiaoqiying left the designated area without permission and ran to Liuren Alley to kill people.
There were more and more people in the building, Gu Shenwei was squeezed to the window, there was almost no place to turn around, and then he heard someone chanting the Buddha's name, and when he looked back, there were two monks in Liuren Alley, one with white skin and transparent skin, and the other was as strong as the reincarnation of the Dharma Protector Vajra.
