Chapter 340: Exploitation
Prince Kang was bought by Jinpeng Castle, which immediately gave Shangguan Fei a great advantage, he held eight votes in his hand, even if the three unknown left and right swingers were removed, there were still five votes left, and only one more vote was needed to be invincible, and two votes were drawn, which was the sure Shiguo horse.
On the other hand, the prince of Loulan only got seven votes, and three of them were extremely unreliable, unless they were all his own, he could win the competition.
The victory is not decided, the small post station has become a market where the conspiracy is concentrated, and the ordinary eyes of an ordinary slave may also trigger a series of suspicions and struggles.
On the last day before the vote, two more swing men were dug up, they were the sons of chiefs of different tribes, although their minds were simple, but their brains were not stupid at all, and they had been waiting for a long time to sit on the ground and raise prices, and the prince of Kang became the best example in their eyes: if you can't get a princess, you have to pick out enough gold and silver from the hands of the great powers.
Prince Loulan and the envoy of the Central Plains fought against the water, but Jinpeng Fort hurt a lot of vitality when he bought Prince Kang, so after half a day of bargaining, each side grabbed one person, and the vote became seven to six.
There is only one swingman left, who will not show his face, and his statement will determine whether Jinpeng Castle will win in a big way, or whether the two sides will tie and continue to the next round of competition.
Gu Shenwei still flattered both sides, he knew that this trick would not last long, and Zhongyuan and Beiting were strictly questioning every voter in their hands, and in a few hours, they would find out the true face of the Dragon King.
He didn't have much time left, so he was busier than anyone else for the rest of the day.
The first person he met was Shangguan Fei, and he decided to reveal some very important "facts" to him.
"Rumor has it that I'm going to go on a killing spree at Castle Wings. Gu Shenwei startled Shangguan Fei as soon as they met.
"This, this is just a rumor, the dragon king will naturally not kill, especially not on me, hehe, everyone has seen it, we are like brothers......"
"You're thinking too simply, and people can say that I'm covering up in order to shirk the charge of murder. ”
Of course, Shangguan Fei understands this truth, in the past few days, he has handed over the matter of competing for voters to his entourage and the special envoy of the North Court with full powers, and what he is worried about is this "rumor", "What did the Dragon King hear?"
Gu Shenwei stared at Shangguan Fei and pondered for a while before saying, "If this conspiracy hadn't involved me, I wouldn't have told you." ”
Shangguan Fei's voice trembled, "I understand, even if it is an enemy, there are occasional times when we are in the same boat, and this is the current situation of the two of us." ”
Gu Shenwei nodded solemnly, "The Central Plains envoy wants to kill you, the time is tomorrow night, and then he will put the charge on my head." ”
Shangguan Fei was really surprised, he felt that he had always known all the inside of the conspiracy, but what the Dragon King said was not at all what he expected, "This is impossible, Central Plains ......"
Gu Shenwei interrupted Shangguan Fei bluntly, and stuffed the "facts" into the other party's mind in an unquestionable tone, "You said, when the enemy is also in the same boat, the Central Plains and the Dubu King have reached an agreement, and Shangguan Nu will inherit the king's title, so the Dubu King no longer needs you and Shangguan Hong, and the Central Plains no longer needs the Great Snow Mountain." Killing both of you and planting it for me is a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Starling, father wants to let Starling ......" Shangguan Fei refused to believe it at first, but halfway through his words, he remembered many signs, which seemed to confirm the Dragon King's statement, "That's right, Sister-in-law has been very active these days, and her arrogance is also very arrogant, she must know something, but once Starling returns to the fort, how can she let her go? She ...... with her father."
"Everything is a benefit, Shangguan Nu wants to use Luo Ning tea to talk to Dubu Wang, so naturally he has to give her a lot of promises. ”
Shangguan Fei believed seven or eight points, because he had already guessed that his father was going to kill him, "Ha." He laughed nervously, "This is the Shangguan family, brothers kill each other, father and son kill each other, I thought my mother could always persuade my father." ”
"Lady Meng is no better than before in front of King Dubu. Gu Shenwei pointed out this cruel truth, as if he knew everything in the stone castle very well.
Shangguan Fei's face turned pale and he sat for a while, "So, no matter how good our relationship is on the surface, father...... Dubu King and Zhongyuan still want to attack me?"
Gu Shenwei nodded.
"How could the Dragon King know so much?" Shangguan Fei asked vigilantly, he always had twelve points of distrust of the Dragon King.
"The people around the envoy of the Central Plains leaked his secret to me, and he told me that the envoy transferred ten top masters from the Central Plains and mixed them among the fifty personal soldiers.
Shangguan Fei rubbed his sweaty palm against the arm of the chair, biting his lip, he didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly raised his head, "The Dragon King already has a solution, right?"
His eyes were not so much expectant as pleading.
Gu Shenwei nodded slowly, this is the critical moment to persuade Shangguan Fei, and he can't show the slightest flaw, "But I need your help, which is another reason why I told you the truth." ”
Shangguan Fei slapped his palm on the armrest, the force was too great, and he almost smashed half of the chair into pieces, hurriedly got up, and smiled awkwardly, "Dragon King, please say, since everyone is already sitting in the same boat, I will definitely do my best to help." ”
Gu Shenwei didn't speak immediately, he also stood up and paced back and forth a few steps, as if he was considering the whole situation, "The most urgent crisis at the moment is the ten masters brought by the Central Plains envoy, they will do it by tomorrow night at the latest, we must strike first, and we have to get rid of them tonight." ”
"Kill them in the post station tonight?Isn't this a declaration of war on the Central Plains?" Shangguan Fei wanted to sit down, but the chair was already tilted, so he could only caress it on the table and force his legs to stand.
"Of course, you can't do it at the inn. Gu Shenwei's voice became more and more firm, and he began to have a commanding tone, he wanted to make Shangguan Fei have no choice, "The Central Plains envoy has my people by his side, he will escape from the post station tonight and hide in the palace, if I am not mistaken, most of the ten masters will go to hunt him down, and then ......"
Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up, "Dragon King's clever plan, the Central Plains master died in the Stone King's Palace, it has nothing to do with us, and the envoy may not even admit that it was the person he brought." ”
"I need your people to set this trap. ”
"Dragon King...... Can't you do it yourself?" Shangguan Fei looked cunning, he preferred to stay out of the matter.
"No, I brought too few people, I can't kill so many masters on my own, and besides, I don't want to openly break with the Central Plains now. It has to be your people, the best killers, and your most trusted subordinates. ”
The Dragon King's voice became very stern, faintly revealing accusations and dissatisfaction, Shangguan Fei's body trembled slightly, "I can send twenty people, they are all killers assigned by my mother, and they should be loyal to me." ”
"Good. ”
Gu Shenwei explained in detail the specific time of the operation and the location of the ambush, Shangguan Fei was very smart, and he remembered it clearly after listening to it once, but he still had a huge worry in his heart, "Getting rid of these masters is just an expedient measure, father...... Since the Dubu King is determined to kill me and frame me to the Dragon King, I am afraid that he will not give up easily. ”
"King Dubu's intention is just to put the charge of breaking the armistice on me, it's easy, after the princess is engaged, Daxueshan will soon declare war on Jinpeng Castle again, and when the time comes, he won't need a reason. ”
Shangguan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he and the Dragon King were enemies, but the words in his heart seemed to be able to confide in this enemy, "I don't understand, my father obviously likes me and my sister very much, although my mother is not as favored as before, but she has always held great power, why did he do such a ruthless move? Planting a false accusation against the Dragon King, you don't have to kill me, any killer, or Shangguan Hong, it's okay." ”
"The Dubu King must have his reasons. Gu Shangwei knew what the reason was, but he didn't want to tell Shangguan Fei now.
Shangguan Fei sighed dejectedly, as early as before he set off from Jinpeng Castle, he had already judged his father to kill him through his mother's hints and all kinds of small signs, although he thought of many coping plans, but there was only one thing, and he couldn't understand why his father was so ruthless.
Is it because I've been too weak all these years? Shangguan Fei thought sadly and indignantly, full of disgust for the title of "Son of the Dubu King", he forced himself to ease his mood and said, "I'll arrange the killer." Dragon King, please stay a moment, my sister wants to see you. ”
Gu Shenwei was already ready to leave, and he still had a lot of things to do, but he hesitated for a while, but the answer he made was "good".
Shangguan Ru had a cold face, and didn't speak for a while, Gu Shenwei wanted to ask her if she knew that she was also one of the victims set by Dubu Wang, but she still held back, "Do you want to see me?"
"Hmm. Shangguan Ru pursed his lips and glanced at the chair that was smashed by his brother, "I...... Can you tell me the truth?"
"What truth?"
"What are you doing with Guan Fei? He has a hallucination in his mind, always thinking that his father is going to kill him, and you are using him through this, isn't it?"
"Exploitation?" Gu Shenwei sneered, "Your brother's intelligence, you haven't been taught, which of the two of us is taking advantage of whom, it's not necessarily." ”
Shangguan Ru looked at Gu Shenwei, his dark eyes gradually turned from cold to tender, as if winter, spring, summer and autumn passed in turn, leaving an indelible impression in his heart every season, "You haven't thought about ......"
Gu Shenwei interrupted her stiffly, he thought he was ruthless, but he was still not ready to meet her words, "No." He said, "I will fight to the end, kill all enemies, and I will be a horse of the stone country." ”
Gu Shenwei rushed out of the room, letting the half-melted cold wind of twilight pass on his face, his heart was full of cruel pride, he was no longer Huan slave, and she was no longer the tenth prince, the killing was about to begin, he would never allow himself to have a trace of hesitation.
Only God knows that while he is torturing her, he is also torturing himself.
