Jing Nu died under the knife, and his body was fleshy, but he miraculously saved his head.

He should have been following Huan Nu all the time, I don't know where the two lost contact, there are fights everywhere, on the ground, on the roof, there are always people rushing out unexpectedly, and when Gu Shenwei finds out that Jing Nu is missing, the sky is dark, and it is impossible to find him again.

Jing Nu thus became the second killer to die under the Ten Princes.

On the surface, the losses of the Qiu Society were greater, with hundreds of casualties, but they only accounted for a quarter of its strength, and although the Kun Society only killed more than fifty people, it was half of all the swordsmen.

Since the brutal battle, it has been difficult for both sides to hire swordsmen, and even those who have been hired often leave without saying goodbye, and some people don't even want their monthly pay.

Life is still more important than money.

This time, everyone can guess who the final winner is, no matter how difficult it is to recruit swordsmen, the Qiu Society can always make up for the shortfall with the Meng family's money, but the Kun Society's silver is about to bottom out, even if Tie Hanfeng's inheritance is all taken out, there is no way to compete with the other party.

For the first time, Gu Shenwei felt the smell of betrayal and separation.

Although the victory or defeat of this battle is not something that Huan Nu can change, as the hall master, he disappeared at the most critical moment, joined the battle halfway, and the killer he led died again, all of which are stains that cannot be concealed.

The killers stayed away from him, and the swordsmen no longer trusted him, even the Xu sisters and brothers were a little panicked after hearing the news, and they were still respectful on the surface, and secretly they had begun to accumulate silver, if the Kunshe failed miserably, they would have to spend money to find a new backer immediately.

Only the lotus girl was not affected by any external force, and even before Huan Nu opened her mouth, she said that there must be a conspiracy in Jing Nu's death, "Jing Nu is not a reckless person, how could he rush into the crowd and be hacked to death with a knife?"

Gu Shenwei knew better in his heart that Jing Nu's death was unclear, but he still blamed himself, knowing that Jing Nu's life was hanging by a thread, and he was the key person in revealing the truth, so he didn't guard him every step of the way.

The saddest level was to go to Beicheng to meet Shangguan Ru.

Shangguan Yushi stood beside the tenth prince, she participated in the battle, and rarely did not add fuel to Huan Nu's performance, she was a smart person and knew what it meant to be counterproductive.

"Why wasn't there any news before? We were caught off guard. ”

Shangguan Ru's question Gu Shenwei couldn't explain, although there was never a clear division of labor, but intelligence was always his responsibility, and he didn't know anything about such a large-scale offensive operation of Qiu She, no matter what, it was a dereliction of duty.

"It's my fault, my subordinates are guilty, please punish the tenth son. ”

Gu Shenwei could only admit his mistake, which made him extremely annoyed in his heart, because he knew that there was a conspiracy behind these things, but he couldn't come up with evidence, and he couldn't even bring it up, because it would make Shangguan Ru think that he was framing Yu Gongzi.

At this time, the situation seems to have returned to the boulder cliff of the year, Shangguan Yushi accidentally assassinated Huan Nu, but now her methods are more mature, leaving almost no traces, and Huan Nu has less and less room to fight back.

"It's not your fault, it's that I'm thinking too simply, sitting in the north city, separated by a high wall and a river, how can you do everything?"

Shangguan Ru regarded this sentence as the responsible attitude that a master should have, but it sounded an out-and-out humiliation to Gu Shenwei.

Gu Shenwei stayed in Beicheng, claiming to think about it behind closed doors, sneaked out that evening, and went to meet Ye Shilang, he had no way out now, he could only push open every door around him to take a look.

Ye Shilang's home is located in a small alley in Beicheng, compared with the neighbors, he is a swordsman, there is no other livelihood, life depends on the assistance of admirers, according to the wishes of others, there are more and sometimes less, fortunately, his requirements are not high, and there is no special hobby, so he can always live in Beicheng.

Ye Shilang sat on the soft couch, with a bandage on his chest, his upper body, and a long sword beside him, he was one of the very few people who were allowed to carry a sword in Beicheng.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of Wangcheng Lane, Gu Shenwei unconsciously thought of how perfect Ye Shilang's figure was, even those who were not interested in men should be amazed, even if the serious injury had not healed, he looked full of strength, as if the layers of bandages were just decorations.

The only old slave of the Ye family brought the tea, which quickly retreated, and then Ye Shilang spoke, "You saved me." There was not much gratitude in his voice, more like sarcasm and indignation.

"There is no need to repay, I have my own purpose, and I want to know who is trying to kill you. ”

Ye Shilang didn't seem to hear the killer's words, and stared straight at him, "I'm a swordsman, not a killer, no matter what you think, I have to give you back your life." ”

Gu Shenwei has been in the stone castle for too long, and he almost forgot that there are different rules in the world from the killer, "You don't have to fight back, I don't need that, tell me who wants to kill you, and we'll settle it." ”

"It's my business, what does it have to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter if it's going to be said. ”

"Hey, I've heard a lot about you, you're nosy, and you don't look like a Jinpeng killer. I will repay the grace of saving my life, and it is up to me to decide how to repay it. I do not send it. ”

The master gave an eviction order, Gu Shenwei could only leave, he turned around outside, and returned to the mouth of the alley, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the old servant of the Ye Mansion really went out, carrying a lantern, twisting and turning, and entered the corner gate of a big mansion.

The big mansion is Mengfu, Gu Shenwei was impulsive, he wanted to sneak in to check it out, but after thinking about it, he gave up, he had no weapons on him, he couldn't get out of the trap, and it was not a good idea to break through in Beicheng, once he was discovered, Jinpeng Fort couldn't spare him.

Gu Shenwei turned around and returned to the Ye Mansion, the courtyard door was empty, and he entered uninvited.

Ye Shilang was dancing his sword in the courtyard, and the cold moonlight shone on his flawless skin, as if the young god had summoned the essence of heaven and earth, conjuring up three heads and six arms, holding countless long swords.

Gu Shenwei watched quietly, this is not a murderous swordsmanship, but it is equally fascinating.

Ye Shilang put away his long sword and ripped off the bandage on his chest, "This is the first time I've been injured. ”

"Sooner or later, this kind of thing will get used to it. ”

Gu Shenwei has countless scars on his body, each of which is more shocking than the swordsman's.

"I have a lot to get used to, the world has been turned upside down, my most faithful servant has gone to report my every move to the rich, and a killer has to know who is trying to kill me, you know? ”

"I didn't see your purple cloak. Gu Shenwei said casually, with no intention of arguing with the swordsman about what the world should be like.

"Cloak?"

"Well, Cloak, I met someone in Nancheng who likes purple as much as you do, I want to ......"

Ye Shilang showed another kind of swordsmanship, his body barely shook, the person had already arrived in front of the killer, the long sword pierced into the chest for an inch, and with a little force, he could kill the annoying boy under the sword, "Shut up!" The swordsman's face was hideous, and he lost his god-like brilliance.

Gu Shenwei glanced down at the sword stabbed in his chest, "This is not the first time I've been injured. ”

Ye Shilang withdrew his sword, his face full of disdain and disgust, "You should be glad that I am a swordsman, and this is in Beicheng, sooner or later I will give you back your life, and then kill you." ”

"It's like killing Marquis Gao?"

As soon as the words came out, Gu Shenwei knew that he was wrong this time, Ye Shilang held his head high, making the already tall man even taller, and the young man in front of him was like a schoolboy who made a mistake, "You are a killer from the bones, you will never understand what a swordsman is, a swordsman will kill, and he will kill for money and profit, but he will never kill people secretly." ”

How could Gu Shenwei understand swordsmen? There were very few swordsmen he had seen, and all of them had suddenly appeared in the past few days, "Recently, I have seen many people die under the sword, and every one of them is an assassination. ”

As long as he didn't mention the purple-shirted man in Nancheng, Ye Shilang was more able to control his emotions, his long sword hung down, and even a smile appeared on his face, "I haven't seen those people's wounds, but I know that Gao Hou Ye was not killed by a swordsman." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't immediately understand the meaning of this sentence, "Many people are sure that the wound on Gao Houye's body is a sword wound, and you yourself said so before." ”

"An injury is a sword wound, but a man is not a swordsman. ”

Gu Shenwei suddenly realized that his best martial arts is swordsmanship, but he knows very little about swordsmanship in the world, Zhang Ji once lent him a lot of sword books, all of which were on paper, and he had not studied them carefully, so he was far inferior to the well-known swordsman Ye Shilang in terms of knowledge.

That's right, it may not be a swordsman who kills people with a sword, Gu Shenwei understands where his misunderstanding has always been, so many things suddenly become clear in front of him, but there are still a few details that are still obscure.

"That's why you think it's me?"

"Not all, Marquis Gao is my good friend, and I have the obligation to avenge him, as for finding you to duel, it's because someone wants your head, and I said that swordsmen will also kill people for money. ”

Who wants the head of Huan Nu, Gu Shenwei knew very well in his heart, "What about the assassins in the rouge forest?

"You still won't let this thing go. That man is a swordsman, and he is a rare master, but he is not my opponent, and I will take revenge myself, and this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

The old servant of the Ye Mansion pushed the door into the courtyard, looked up and saw that his master was standing in the courtyard with a sword, his heart was shocked, and his body immediately dropped by half, "Fourth master, you haven't slept yet?"

Ye Shilang nodded, watching the old servant enter the house tremblingly, and his heart was full of hatred for the entire Biyu City.

Gu Shenwei returned to the house in Beicheng, Shangguan Ru hadn't slept yet, and asked him about the progress of the day.

"There's a clue, I don't think it'll come out in a few days. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't plan to tell the whole truth to the tenth prince, and the next day, when he returned to Nancheng, he first ordered the Xu family sisters and brothers to inquire about the details of Chuyangjun in Wangcheng Lane, and then found the lotus girl, who was the only partner he could trust, and he had to remind her that danger was around him.

"Beware of wild horses, Gao Houye, Zhou Huan, Yuannu, and Jing Nu were all killed by him, and his next target is not you me. ”
