Chapter 953: Giving the Sword
Zhong Heng hadn't touched a knife for a while, thinking that at the beginning, although he was not a master, he never left the knife every day, but now when he saw a room full of weapons, he felt furious in his heart.
"Things are a bit of a hassle. He said.
This is the armory of the Protector's Palace, with a large number of various swords and a small number of long-handled weapons, and the dragon king is only interested in a spear, and holds it in his hand for a long time.
"What did you hear?" Gu Shenwei had just come to Nancheng from the military camp outside the city, although the distance was only twenty or thirty miles, it was still too slow to transmit information, and he decided to sit in Nancheng himself to deal with the unexpected.
The first person to report the situation to him was not Xu Xiaoyi, nor Long Chuanyun and Hu Shining, but Zhong Heng, who should be in Beicheng at the moment, who was supposed to participate in the negotiations in Beicheng at the moment, and he always knew the public whereabouts of the Dragon King.
"Many people said that the dragon king robbed the Meng family's wealth, and it has been kept secret, and now he is in urgent need of money, so he began to take it out and use it, and the gold nugget held by the catcher named Wu Xuan was the reward paid to him by the dragon king. ”
"I'm in such a hurry to use the money that I don't even get rid of the Meng family mark on it?"
"Rumors never pay attention to details, and the whole city is raging, and everyone is talking about it, especially those merchants, who are planning to ask the dragon king for debts. ”
In the past few months, especially last autumn, the Dragon Army has purchased grain and grass on a large scale, and many merchants have accepted credit, the most important reason is to believe that the wealth of the Meng family has fallen into the hands of the Dragon King, once they hear that someone has received money from the Dragon King, they can't help but be ready to move, and no one wants to be the last to speak, after all, the Meng family's gold and silver are also counted.
"Let them find Xiao Fengchai and Lu Qiying. "Since he found these two helpers, Gu Shenwei hasn't spent too much money on it.
Zhong Heng was silent for a moment, attracting the attention of the Dragon King before he said, "I'm worried that the two of them will be the biggest trouble. ”
"Oh?" Gu Shenwei remembered that Cheng had never trusted Xiao Lu and the others, and had previously reminded the Dragon King that the two had privately collected bribes from the residents of Beicheng, promising to protect their safety after the Dragon King took power.
"I got some news - not from inquiring, but from a few friends...... Zhong Heng added an explanation to prevent the Dragon King from thinking that he was not doing his job and meddling in his affairs, "Lu Qiying privately revealed to some important businessmen that the Dragon King was short of money, and if he wanted to get into debt, he had to do it as soon as possible, Xiao Fengchai's hand was very tight, and many of the money that should be paid were also in arrears, causing a lot of complaints. ”
Gu Shenwei put down the spear and said, "I know, but the Dragon Army is indeed short of money, if it weren't for the merchants' willingness to accept credit, it would have been difficult to continue, what can the prime minister do?"
The Dragon King didn't seem to be in a hurry, Zhong Heng was a little surprised, "It's really not good, just take out the money of the Meng family, anyway, after melting, no one can tell the source, let everyone guess, it's really not good, just say that it is a treasure left by the people of Beiting, such as the tomb of the old Khan King." ”
In the Western Regions, the tomb of the old Khan King is just a large tomb stuffed with gold, silver and jewelry, without any sacred surname, and the opportunity to rob the tomb will only make people envious, not resentful.
Gu Shenwei shook his head, "If you take out the Meng family's money and spend it lavishly, Meng Mingshu won't be happy." ”
When the Dragon King arranged the robbery, Zhong Heng was not in Biyu City, so this was the first time he heard the inside story more clearly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Meng Mingshu has been very close to Pang Jing recently, and I am afraid that he has already revealed all the secrets. ”
"It's possible, Meng Mingshu is not a person who can endure hardships, but I'm more worried about another thing, don't you think Pang Jing is very close to many people in Biyu City?"
Zhong Heng's heart trembled, and his instinctive reaction was to defend himself, "Pang Jing is like an old acquaintance with everyone, even I ......" Zhong Heng closed his mouth, this is the Dragon King, and playing with him is meaningless and useless, "I think Pang Jing probably wants to make the Dragon King have this impression." ”
"I also guessed that the Meng family's gold nuggets would add more distrust between me and Bi Yucheng. ”
Zhong Heng understood what the Dragon King meant, and bowed down, "It's me who has a lot of trouble, and I shouldn't fall into the trap, and tell the Dragon King about my own people at this time." ”
Gu Shenwei picked out a few knives from the shelf, "The prime minister is not much to do, Xiao Fengchai and Lu Qiying are different from you, they are businessmen, they talk about interests and not feelings, I just need someone to help me keep an eye on them, just don't startle the snake." ”
Knowing that the Dragon King's words were just a small trick to win over his subordinates, Zhong Heng couldn't help but be a little moved, the Dragon King didn't treat him as a businessman, which was a huge affirmation, so he gave a deep salute, "Yes, I'll go back to Beicheng, and besides, the city lord's martial arts competition is about to be completed, but the location of the competition has not been determined, does the Dragon King have instructions?"
"I trust your judgment. Gu Shenwei said.
Zhong Heng left the Protector's Mansion, and secretly analyzed the young lord on the way, knowing that there were many things that he was excluded from, and regarding the large sum of money of the Meng family, the Dragon King must have formulated a counterattack plan, and he had no chance to participate.
Thinking of the Meng family, Zhong Heng saw the exaggerated mountains of gold and silver in front of him, and his heart was also a little hot, so he understood why that small piece of gold had attracted so much attention in Biyu City.
Gu Shenwei walked out of the armory with a few knives in his hand, handed them to Hu Shining, who was waiting outside, and then walked into the small courtyard nearby.
The five teenagers were waiting here with their hands down, and when they saw the Dragon King, they immediately knelt down on one leg, they had all been trained by Hu Shining, and the influence of Jinpeng Castle was inevitably left on their bodies, kneeling on one leg was already a compromise way, Hu Shining was silent, and showed with practical actions that he was not interested in the Daxue Mountain without kneeling.
"These five warriors have been outstanding in recent times and deserve to be commended. Hu Shining said that he was still not used to the title of "warrior".
Gu Shenwei ordered the five people to get up, took the knife from Hu Shining's hand, and gave it to the warriors respectively.
This is one thing that Hu Shining strongly recommends that the Dragon King should do, the loyalty of the killer is deeply hidden, and because of this, they want to get the attention of their master more than ordinary people, otherwise, their disloyalty is also deeply hidden.
Hu Shining reported the names of the five people one by one, Gu Shenwei had an impression, praised everyone briefly, carefully considered every word, and said to the last teenager: "You are a newcomer." ”
"Qin Yeming. Hu Shining reported the boy's name, "It's been less than two months since I joined the Warrior Camp. ”
Gu Shenwei recognized the young man, this was the proud disciple of the building rescued by Chu Nanping, "Very good." He said.
The ceremony was over, and while the other warriors weren't watching, they would soon hear the news and start competing.
The young warrior retreated, and only Qin Yeming stood still holding his sword.
"Stand down. Hu Shiding ordered sternly.
Qin Yeming knelt down again, this time on his knees, "I always wanted to ......"
Hu Shining's good impression of the boy was gone, and he reached out to grab him by the neck, intending to throw him out of the yard.
Gu Shen stopped Hu Shining, "You want to see me?"
"Yes. Qin Yeming had the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, but his voice was obviously trembling, "Let me be a servant for the Dragon King, serve tea and pour water, make beds and fold quilts, sprinkle and clean, I will do anything." ”
Hu Shining was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "You are a killer...... You are a warrior, a dignified man, how can you do the work of a woman?"
"I don't want to be a warrior. Qin Yeming whispered, not even daring to raise his head.
"Then why did you join the Warrior Battalion? You came of your own free will. ”
Qin Yeming kowtowed to Hu Shining a few times, "I'm sorry, I want to see the Dragon King again, but I can't find a chance, so I want to ......"
"That's why I want to make a meritorious contribution to the Warrior Battalion. Hu Shining said coldly, angry in his heart, he didn't expect that he was used by a child.
Qin Yeming kowtowed a few more times, he had no other way to see the Dragon King again, Chu Nanping saved him, just as an ordinary life, it was impossible to introduce him to the Dragon King at any time.
Gu Shenwei looked at the humble young man, he didn't like him very much in his heart, and his suspicions naturally popped up, Qin Yeming used to be an apprentice on the periphery of Jinpeng Castle, and he was admitted to the proud building by the wild horses before he entered the castle, because he was frightened because he saw Han Wuxian kill people with his own eyes, the background was extremely complicated, and his various actions either concealed a conspiracy or proved that he himself was not strong-willed.
Gu Shenwei had never had a real waiter around him, and he didn't feel that he had this need, so he said, "There are still many roads in the world, you can quit the warrior camp." ”
Gu Shenwei walked outside, he had a lot to do, and he didn't want to waste time on a teenager.
Hu Shining had already thought of a punishment, Qin Yeming had to leave the warrior camp, but he had to pay a heavy price to warn his other companions.
Qin Yeming probably knew that he was losing all his support, so he stood up and said loudly in desperation: "Dragon King, you were the first to issue a ban on killing in Biyu City, and now I want to put down the knife, but you don't accept it?"
Gu Shenwei stopped, turned to look at the young man, and said something that surprised Hu Shining, "Come with me." ”
A killer apprentice who didn't want to touch the knife again, Gu Shenwei suddenly felt that he might be useful.
Qin Yeming was even more surprised, and it wasn't until the Dragon King was about to walk out of the courtyard gate that he came to his senses, carefully placed all the knives with the knife and the knife given by the Dragon King on the ground, bowed deeply to Hu Shining, and chased after the Dragon King in a puff of smoke, closely following three steps away.
Xu Xiaoyi and Long Chuanyun were waiting for the Dragon King, they brought a lot of news, and they were very surprised to see a strange teenager behind the Dragon King, and no one asked.
"The murderer who killed Wu Xuan has been found, and he has been escorted to the Protector's Mansion, and the Dragon King can be interrogated at any time. Xu Xiaoyi looked slightly excited and excited, arresting people is the business of the Protector's Mansion, and it is his credit to find people so quickly.
"The murderer has been found, and the people of the Central Plains are coming soon, so let's get ready to welcome your guests. ”
The Dragon King's words made Xu Xiaoyi feel confused, "Honorable guest, is it handsome, he didn't know so quickly......"
Before the words fell, a swordsman hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, "Pang Jing, the protector of the Western Regions, has entered the southern city and will soon arrive at the Protector's Mansion." ”
