Chapter 862: Routes
Han Wuxian was late, with a gentle smile on his face as always, without a trace of apology, the only change was that he pulled his hair up high, and the whole person looked taller and taller.
"The dragon king's pomp and circumstance is much bigger than before. Han Wuxian glanced at the huge tent and seemed to be quite interested in the furnishings inside, "Those servants outside are also yours, right?" ”
The tent was a gift from Prime Minister Zhong Heng, and dozens of servants were from Queen Ju, Gu Shenwei accepted it, but he didn't feel very comfortable, "I heard that Hall Master Han has gathered a lot of masters in Biyu City, and the pomp is not small, right?"
"Haha. Han Wuxian let out a loud laugh, no matter how big the tent was, it couldn't accommodate it, "My little person, in the eyes of the Dragon King, is not a drop in the bucket? I knew that the Dragon King was busy with affairs, so I made a private proposal and decided to launch an encirclement and suppression in three days, maybe to force the lotus girl to show up. My masters are obviously not 'high' enough, and they need the help of the Dragon King. ”
"Cancel. ”
"My ears have never heard it, but the dragon king will say it again. The smile on Han Wuxian's face became more and more gentle.
"Cancel the encirclement and suppression. Gu Shenwei repeated blandly, Han Wuxian was a difficult character to control, and he had to devote all his energy to facing her.
"The Dragon King must have a reason?"
"Well, for a very good reason, I can't reveal too much for the time being, but I can tell you that I may need the help of the Dutch girl for some time to come. ”
Han Wuxian paced back and forth ten steps away from the Dragon King, looking up at him every time he turned around, the smile on his face even began to have a sense of temptation, "My heart is broken, Dragon King, I, Han Wuxian, have formed an alliance with outsiders for the first time in my life, and I got such an ending, alas, it is said that Xiaoyuetang is good at using poison, but there is no poison that hurts people's hearts more than the Dragon King's words today." ”
The more angry Han Wuxian became, the softer his voice became, as soft as if he was coquettish.
"This is not the end. Gu Shenwei's tone was still flat, without any ups and downs, like a stubborn rock, standing still in the turbulent river, "This is a means, in the end, I and the lotus girl are still mortal enemies, there is still a battle, you can also recapture Xiaoyue Hall and take revenge." ”
Han Wuxian suddenly sat down on a chair next to him, crossed his legs, revealing a smooth calf and delicate embroidered shoes, almost making people forget that it was cold outside.
"Should I still believe the Dragon King's words?" her eyes were fixed on the Dragon King's face, her expression was dazed, as if she was talking to herself, "Han Wuxian, you are a person who has been betrayed, the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl are like a mold, will they lie to you again?" Ah, man, it is easier to make them change their minds than to break a small grass, what is the Lotus Girl stronger than Han Wuxian?"
A gentle smile returned to his face, Han Wuxian seemed to be an old monk who had woken up from his silence, and had just discovered that there were outsiders around him, "So, the rumors are true?"
"Which rumor?" Gu Shenwei listened to her words quietly.
"The Dragon King and the Lotus Maiden have found the knack of combining swords, and their skills have multiplied, so you must join forces to challenge the Dubu King. ”
"Rumors are always true and false, and false are true, and Hall Master Han doesn't care about it. ”
"The Dutch girl's martial arts are better than mine. Han Wuxian's voice was slightly bitter, "No wonder the Dragon King wants to join forces with her, and then, get rid of the Dubu King, there are more powerful opponents waiting in front, you want to continue to join forces with the Lotus Girl?"
"I won't speculate on Hall Master's plans after retaking Xiaoyue Hall. ”
"Haha, so I shouldn't guess the Dragon King's intentions in the future. Okay, I believe in the Dragon King once, it should all be your reward for saving me from the sea of suffering, do you still need me to continue to find the whereabouts of the lotus girl? ”
"Of course, even if it's a team, I want to know each other. ”
Han Wuxian stood up suddenly, as if remembering an imminent urgency, "Then so be it, it seems that no matter who cooperates with the Dragon King, it will always be the Dragon King's say - I like people like you." ”
Without a kind word of farewell, Han Wuxian left the tent directly.
The next person Gu Shen summoned separately was Hu Shining, a retired teacher from Jinpeng Castle who had been working for the Dragon King for nearly two years.
Hu Shining didn't bring a weapon, he bowed and saluted, neither casual nor flattering, "Subordinate Hu Shining pays a visit to the Dragon King." ”
Gu Shenwei sat on the couch, his upper body was straight, his right hand was pressed to his knee, and his left hand was holding the handle of the knife, his expression was majestic, not giving the old teacher any room for pickiness, "Tell me about the information you got." ”
"Yes, before I do that, I would like to report something to the Dragon King. ”
Say. ”
"Jinpeng Fort sent someone to find me, hoping that I would join the Tianshan Sect, but I have refused. ”
"Good. Gu Shenwei knew about this, and listening to Hu Shining say it in person still made him feel more at ease.
Hu Shining is a standard killer, which means that his words are precise and concise, "The members of the Tianshan Sect are increasing every day, as of yesterday evening, there are a total of five hundred and sixteen people, three hundred and fifty-seven people were killers in the past, and the other one hundred and fifty-nine people were hired with high salaries, and the sources are complex, the Central Plains, the Beiting people, and the Western Regions people all have them. ”
This number is less than what Gu Shenwei had heard before, "Is the Tianshan Sect very strict in recruiting people?"
"Well, there are quite a few people in the name of the Tianshan Sect, but I have carefully investigated, and most of them are not credible. ”
"What do you want to know about this round of assassinations?"
"It's very chaotic, in the past month, a total of 120 to 50 people have been killed and injured in Biyu City, and I estimate that less than half of the people who died directly from the assassination, and the rest were all looted while the fire was burning. ”
Gu Shenwei believed in Hu Shining's judgment, Biyu City was full of hatred, and every time someone made the first move, it would always provoke a large number of imitators who fished in troubled waters.
"Based on your experience, who will be the main messenger behind the scenes?"
Hu Shining pondered for a moment, "I prefer not to have the main messenger behind the scenes. ”
"Oh, the old man said that there was a master who was killing people and practicing martial arts. ”
"Old Man Mu's words make sense, but what this master will do after training is what I'm worried about, and I believe that finding him first will be very helpful to us. ”
"I'll leave it to you. ”
"Yes. ”
The next person to be summoned was Xu Xiaoyi, and the atmosphere was relaxed at this point, Gu Shenwei could walk around at will, Xu Xiaoyi followed closely behind the Dragon King, thinking for a while and smirking for a while, making his serious mustache lose a lot of color.
"The dragon king guessed too accurately. "Xu Xiaoyi's worship of the Dragon King is about to reach the level of flattery, if he didn't know that the Dragon King's surname is old-fashioned, he would have expressed it more explicitly, "Xiao Chu and Tu Gou are very honest, Shangguan Fei went to see Mrs. Meng as soon as he had the opportunity, and obeyed his mother's arrangement in everything, but there was no special move, Old Man Mu and Han Wuxian, hehe, as the Dragon King expected, this old thing has a ghost in his heart, and Nei Zhan must be one of them." ”
Gu Shenwei never forgot that his whereabouts were leaked, and ordered Xu Xiaoyi to investigate secretly, focusing on Old Man Mu and Han Wuxian.
It is unrealistic to want to track these two masters, Xu Xiaoyi does not know martial arts, none of his subordinates are masters, and he has to find a different way to collect intelligence.
Old Man Mu and Han Wuxian's respective characteristics were extremely obvious, anyone would have an impression at a glance, when they wanted to hide their whereabouts, it was difficult to be discovered, but as long as they appeared publicly, they would leave obvious traces.
Xu Xiaoyi's intelligence network is already very tight, from street thieves, businessmen to servants of rich families, the bottom of Biyu City has his eyes everywhere.
This is a group of small people who are usually ignored, but Xu Xiaoyi is handy in using it.
He took out a stack of sketches of Biyu City, each with a black line or red line and a large circle on it, "The black line is the old man Mu, and the red line is Han Wuxian, this is their whereabouts recently, and the circle is my speculation." ”
Gu Shenwei browsed one by one, occasionally nodding, Xu Xiaoyi was encouraged, and he was very excited, "Look, Han Wuxian is getting closer and closer to Jinpeng Castle, although I haven't gotten exact news from the fort, but looking at these pictures, she disappeared in Beicheng and was found in Beicheng, where else can she go except Jinpeng Castle?"
"Look at Old Man Mu again, his line is a little more complicated, it seems that he is wandering around the city, and there is no clear goal, but I got extremely accurate news, Old Man Mu went to the Tianshan Sect to see the sect master Du Yan, I'm sure he never told the Dragon King about it, right?"
Gu Shenwei did not answer.
"Old Man Mu and Han Wuxian, this old couple is going to conspire against the Dragon King. Xu Xiaoyi concluded.
"No, they are acting separately. Gu Shenwei corrected Xu Xiaoyi's erroneous view, "You see, their routes often overlap the days before and after. ”
"Isn't this evidence of their secret collusion?" Xu Xiaoyi asked suspiciously.
"They are all my people on the surface, and there is no need to collude secretly. Gu Shenwei said, "With the strength and temper of the two of them, if they conspire, they will go their own way." ”
Xu Xiaoyi nodded in admiration, and thought deeply, "Then the internal annihilation is one of them, who does the Dragon King think it will be?"
Gu Shenwei still didn't answer, but just ordered Xu Xiaoyi to continue the investigation, if he just found the internal annihilation, there was really no need to go through such a big effort, Gu Shenwei's idea was to use the internal annihilation to do something.
In the end, Xu Xiaoyi mentioned the piece of information that he didn't think was too important, "Miss Ru's niece, the one named Shangguan Shaomin, has a whereabouts, it's very troublesome to find her, and the Dragon King will never think where the lotus girl hid her." ”
"What about Han Xuan?"
Han Xuan lives with Shangguan Shaomin. In Xu Xiaoyi's mind, Han Xuan's important surname is lower, so he wonders that what the Dragon King cares about most is not the location, but this inconspicuous woman.
Han Xuan is also a female Gu, but the type is different from Shangguan Shaomin, she is a practice prop that Han Wuxian has cultivated since childhood, and before she could use it, she was taken away by the Dutch girl halfway.
Gu Shenwei felt a little bit of a spectrum, and his heart finally returned to Biyu City from the grassland.
