Chapter 873: Trust

Shangguan Hong couldn't pretend anymore, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes showed anger and excitement, believing that there must be a conspiracy behind the Dragon King's reuse for no reason, "Someone has made up my crime again?" ”

Contrary to Shangguan Hong's expectations again, the Dragon King did not deny it, but nodded and admitted, "Some people say that you are the murderer who killed innocents indiscriminately in Biyu City. ”

"Ha!" Shangguan Hong let out an exaggerated sneer, "Joke, the assassination in Biyucheng has lasted for more than a month, and I have only been here for a few days?

Gu Shenwei took a step forward and said sharply: "Shangguan Hong, other people's lies can't deceive me, and you can't!"

Shangguan Hong took two steps back in fear, his body was half short, and he looked up at the Dragon King, but his face was full of disbehement, "Believe it or not, I'm not a murderer anyway." ”

"How many days have you been in Biyu City?"

Shangguan Hong's heart trembled, and his mind turned a few times in a row, "Five days...... Probably...... Yes, I arrived more than a month ago. Shangguan Hong's hands were retracted into his sleeves, and his expression was vigilant, like a wild dog that saw a stranger, "But I am on the order of the queen......"

"What did the queen tell you to do?" Gu Shenwei's tone became more and more stern.

Shangguan Hong suddenly straightened up, his hands were also exposed from his sleeves, he still didn't have the confidence to fight with the Dragon King, "If the Dragon King wants to kill me, kill me, I won't betray the queen." ”

Gu Shenwei turned around and walked to the couch, facing away from the angry guest, seemingly unguarded, Shangguan Hong's fingers were bent and straightened, and he never dared to make a move.

"Why should I kill you? I said that I will send you to protect Mrs. Luo and pay attention to King Xiao. Gu Shenwei's tone was softened, as if the harsh words just now were just a game.

Shangguan Hong felt that his whole body was sticky, as if he had a sense of collapse, and he was frustrated in his heart, because he couldn't calm down, he actually took the initiative to mention the assassination incident, and at the same time couldn't guess the Dragon King's thoughts, "The Dragon King doesn't blame me for lying?"

"You are the queen's attendant, and what is the sin of lying to protect her? ”

Shangguan Hong hoped that he could be tougher, but he still knelt down, hesitated halfway, and temporarily changed from kneeling on both knees to kneeling on one leg to save a little dignity, "I am willing to be loyal to the Dragon King, as long as I ...... Just ......"

"As long as it is not against the interests of the queen. ”

"Yes. ”

"Get up, and since you owe your allegiance to me, I will ask a few more questions. ”

Shangguan Hong stood up, raised his head and said: "I know what the Dragon King wants to ask, so I'll just say it, there are indeed a few assassinations in Biyu City that I did, less than ten times in total, and I only killed one at a night, since the Dragon King came to Biyu City, I haven't done anything again, and the assassination in Daoke Village last night has nothing to do with me." ”

"Good. Gu Shen nodded slightly, as if he completely believed Shangguan Hong's words, "What about martial arts, who did you learn from?"

"The Dragon King may not believe it, but in fact, I have always had a Daoless Divine Skill hidden in my body, which I stole from Mrs. Meng, and I have been cultivating in secret, and I didn't achieve anything until a few days ago, so I will find someone...... After trying it a few times, it really multiplied the power of the martial arts I had learned before. ”

This is Shangguan Hong's response that he has thought of a long time ago, so it is very smooth to say, and even that hesitation seems appropriate.

Gu Shenwei nodded again, "You did the assassination of Zhang Ji?"

"That old thing. Shangguan Hong gritted his teeth, "Using me for so many years, he said that he would abandon it, and finally sent me to Xiaoyaohai to die, but unfortunately I was too anxious and couldn't succeed at that time." ”

"You still want to kill Shangguan Fei?"

Shangguan Hong's face turned red, that half-brother was the person he hated the most, and there was no need to explain at all, "And Mrs. Meng, who treats me as a plaything, is worse than the lowest minion." And the Dubu King, I am his own son, but he ......"

Shangguan Hong couldn't go on, Dubu Wang even had a favorite twin, let alone an illegitimate child.

"And Shangguan Ru. Gu Shenwei continued for him, "She hasn't said a word for you, she hasn't even accused Shangguan Fei's behavior, and she is also someone the queen doesn't like." ”

Shangguan Hong closed his mouth, indicating that the Dragon King's words had already involved the interests of the queen.

"And me. Gu Shenwei didn't force Shangguan Hong to speak, "I also didn't say anything for you, and I didn't punish Shangguan Fei afterwards." ”

Shangguan Hong sighed, "It's a lie to say that I don't resent the Dragon King, but with those few people in front, my resentment against the Dragon King is not worth mentioning, at most it is ...... Dissatisfied. The Dragon King didn't punish Shangguan Fei at that time, but he didn't kill me, and gave me to the queen, which I have always regarded as tolerance and trust, and gratitude is far more than dissatisfaction. ”

Shangguan Hong returned to normal, bent down and lowered his head, his hands naturally drooping, and met the dragon king's gaze with a carefully prepared expression.

"I'm glad you can think so, as the commander of the first army, many times I have to be snobbish, when I was in the sea, Shangguan Fei was useful to me, but you didn't, it's as simple as that. Now, things have changed. ”

Shangguan Hong experienced surprise again and again this night, but he still couldn't get used to it, and blurted out: "Shangguan Fei betrayed the Dragon King?"

"Not yet, or I don't have clear evidence yet, but he lied to me, which is the most intolerable behavior I can't bear. ”

Shangguan Hong vacillated between bowing his head and continuing to look directly at the Dragon King, and finally lowered his head, "Lies are often the beginning of betrayal. As soon as the words came out, he remembered that this was the epigram that Zhang Ji taught him.

"Well, that's right, Shangguan Fei sent someone to follow you, and he swore that you were the murderer of Biyucheng, and you did several assassinations last night. ”

"Bloody mouth, I have been supervising several craftsmen to make robes in the evening, many people can testify for me, Shangguan Fei may not know that Wangcheng Lane is not just a place to hide dirt and dirt, the best tailors in Biyu City also live there. ”

"I believe in you. Gu Shenwei said flatly, "Because I also sent someone to monitor Shangguan Fei, he said that he had been staying in the barracks, and he used cowardice as an excuse, but I know that he secretly entered the city last night, and there were fast horses to pick him up and drop him off and back, and his destination was Daoke Village." ”

For the first time, Shangguan Hong had trust and interest in the Dragon King's previous promise, "Shangguan Fei...... Does the Dragon King need me to do anything?"

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "Shangguan Fei is a reward, don't do anything to him before you make meritorious contributions." ”

"Yes. Shangguan Hong's voice had more affirmation and confidence.

Sent away Guan Hong, Gu Shenwei felt a little tired, although he had a good reason to choose to cooperate with King Xiao instead of directly launching a war between Beiting and the Central Plains, but sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if the latter option was simpler and more in line with his own wishes.

Thousands of troops and horses obey their own arms, blood-stained battlefields, life and death battles, no matter whether they win or lose, they do not lose their heroic nature, such a scene has a strong attraction no matter what.

Gu Shenwei is now once again caught in the maze of intrigue and trickery, like a spider guarding the middle of a large web, and can only rely on the slight tremor of the spider's silk to find clues, and he can't rest day and night.

He tapped lightly twice on the table, and Tie Linglong came out of the corner with doubts on his face, "Is it really Shangguan Fei?" ”

"I don't know. Gu Shenwei allowed Tie Linglong to observe, so he had to tell her the truth, "I only know that Shangguan Fei secretly left the barracks last night, and his horse ran too fast, and the watchers couldn't keep up, so I don't know where he went at all, maybe he just saw Mrs. Meng." ”

Tie Linglong was even more puzzled, "I think there are a lot of lies in Shangguan Hong's words, why does the Dragon King believe him instead of Shangguan Fei?"

Tie Linglong is simple, so simple that Gu Shenwei is a little envious, "What I don't believe is Mrs. Meng, Shangguan Fei is timid and afraid, and he won't resist if he doesn't force his head, but with his mother pushing behind his back, Shangguan Fei can do anything, I must take precautions in advance." ”

Tie Linglong understood a little, "Oh, so the Dragon King provoked Shangguan Hong to deal with Madam Meng and Shangguan Fei, but you didn't let Shangguan Hong take action......"

"Shangguan Hong won't listen to me, it's better. ”

Tie Linglong didn't fully understand, she was still young and didn't know the difference between taking the initiative to do one thing and obeying orders, the Dragon King was setting up a real enemy for Madame Meng's mother and son, not a puppet who acted according to orders.

Tie Linglong was embarrassed to ask again, so he said: "Shangguan Hong said that he has been secretly practicing the Wudao Divine Skill, he must be lying, look at his appearance, he has wanted to make a move against the Dragon King several times, where does he get the confidence? Even if he started cultivating a year ago, he was several years later than the Dragon King, and he must have learned some evil sect exercises." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded approvingly, "I guess Shangguan Hong's evil skills were learned from Xiaoyue Hall, did you notice his voice?"

Tie Linglong was a little dazed, "I didn't pay special attention, anyway, I know that Shangguan Hong is not a master of lying." ”

Shangguan Hong's voice became a bit like a man again. ”

Tie Linglong became more and more dazed, "Isn't he a man?"

"Once upon a time, Shangguan Fei turned him into a eunuch. ”

Gu Shenwei deliberately understated, Tie Linglong's face was still a little red, she only knew a little about this kind of thing, but she decided to be a killer without scruples, so she nodded solemnly, "The Dragon King is suspicious...... Xiaoyuetang doesn't have this kind of kung fu either, right?"

"I don't know much about Xiaoyuetang, but if there is such an evil skill in the world, it must be Xiaoyuetang's secret technique. ”

"You can ask Han Wuxian, I see that she is very honest now, and she is afraid that the lotus girl will not be afraid to leave, so she will not dare to leave the barracks. ”

"It's better to ask her than to ask Old Man Mu. ”

"That's right, Old Man Mu has transformed Xiaoyue Hall's martial arts, and he may be more familiar with those secret techniques than Han Wuxian, and he is also more obedient. ”

Gu Shenwei actually thought of another thing, some of the exercises in Xiaoyue Hall were too evil, and none of the disciples of this sect were willing to cultivate, only Old Man Mu had tried it himself, "Your last sentence is not right, Old Man Mu is not as obedient as he seems, he is as untrustworthy as Han Wuxian." ”

Tie Linglong's eyes widened, "This one is not credible, and that one is not credible, there are not many people left around the Dragon King." ”

At this time, Gu Shenwei could completely say Tie Linglong's name, so that the little girl could follow her more unconditionally, but what he said was: "This is the reason why I allow you to sit in on the conversation and ask questions at will, so that you can see my truest thoughts, I don't trust anyone, including you." ”

Tie Linglong was overwhelmed by this basin of cold water.
