Chapter 599: Threat
Jinpeng Castle's conspiracy in the Dragon Court was close to a fiasco, and Shangguan Yun seemed neither anxious nor annoyed, as if it was a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
"Living among a thousand women, is the Dragon King looking for the feeling of being an emperor?" Shangguan Yun teased in the tone of an old friend, with a familiar smile on his face.
The trip to the North Court was not easy for Shangguan Yun, he was despised everywhere like the Dragon King, although some of them were acting, but they all had a real foundation, he endured it, or he didn't care at all.
"Walking at night, you must be regaining the feeling of a killer. Gu Shenwei was on guard, always remembering that the words of the third young master were more offensive than the knife in his hand.
Shangguan Yun rode alone, looked up at the starry sky, and didn't seem to take the Dragon King's words as sarcasm, "I've never been a good killer, and what I regained is only an afterimage." Back then, the teacher said to Dubu Wang that I was too distracted and inattentive, and it would be a fatal flaw in the future, and he really made him right. How could I turn a blind eye to the starry sky and wait for a stab to strike?"
Gu Shenwei didn't like Xuanxu's conversation, it was like a trick used by the enemy in battle, the closer he stared, the easier it was to be led astray, "You are not a good killer, and I am not a good listener." What's the matter with me?"
Shangguan Yun was still looking up at the starry sky, using this as an overturn to change the topic, and when he spoke again, there was no trace of ridicule, "I'll talk to the Dragon King about Sister Ru." β
"Hmm. Gu Shenwei didn't want to give the other party any hints.
"She was in my hands, and she was in my hands. β
"And now?"
"The secret location, even I don't know, I can only tell you that her final destination is the palace tent of the old Khan. β
Gu Shenwei's heart sank, this was the result he was most worried about and unwilling to see, "Jinpeng Castle really attaches great importance to his own women. β
"The Dragon King is not right, everyone in the world knows that if your sister is your woman, she has already been expelled from the stone castle and helped you defeat the Jinpeng army. β
Shangguan Yun sighed, he also participated in the battle of the sea slope, no matter how he covered it up, it was also a fiasco for him, "I like Ru sister very much, she is the only person I like in the whole family, she is the same as me, she is a rebel of Jinpeng Castle." β
Gu Shenwei couldn't help but snort softly, and Shangguan Yun changed his words in time, "It's the same as me before." Now that she is an enemy, even so, I don't want to hurt her, but there is no way, Jinpeng Castle was forced to a dead end by the Dragon King, so I can only do everything. β
"Isn't that what Castle Gym has always done?"
"You see, I just say I'm not a good killer, and I have to beat around the bush even to threaten others. β
"You're coming to threaten me?"
"Yes, I'm here to threaten you, to threaten you with my own sister. Shangguan Yun finally threw away the last bit of cover-up, but he didn't feel particularly embarrassed, "The original plan was like this, Shaomin was responsible for making the old Khan King ...... Strange disease, but not immediately dead, ten days later, he will die violently next to Sister Ru, so Sister Ru will become the only murderer, from her, the mastermind behind the scenes will undoubtedly fall on the head of the Dragon King. β
Then Shangguan Ru will be killed immediately, so that all death is unproven, Gu Shenwei felt an uncontrollable anger, and a strong impulse surged in his heart, wanting to pull out the knife and unsheath, "Good plan." β
"Good plans, perfect plans, and vicious plans are now all unsustainable plans, and the Dragon King has stolen Shaomin and disrupted the deployment of Jinpeng Castle. β
"You and Zhang Ji then made a new plan. β
"The new plan is not so perfect, we can only resort to the most traditional means, send killers, with the help of King Kwari, to infiltrate the palace tent, and kill the old Khan King, like my sister who wakes up and finds herself carrying a bloody knife. Zhang Ji and I don't like this plan, because we have to rely on the ability of one or two killers, and a little mistake will lead to a loss of everything, unlike the original plan, the executors are all uninformed people, and there is no way to start if you want to expose the stuff. β
Shangguan Yun seemed very regretful, two years ago, Jinpeng Fort began to transform Shangguan Shaomin, but it was intercepted halfway.
"Go on, I haven't heard the threat yet. β
"I think soβand both Zhang Ji and King Kwari agreeβthat since I want to carry out my adventurous plan, I might as well take a little more risk and put the crime of assassinating the old Khan on the Central Plains, which will cause a little trouble, because the first thing King Khari does not want to inherit the throne is to start a war with the Central Plains. β
Fang Wen speculated that King Kuari had already secretly communicated with the Central Plains, and Gu Shenwei felt that the credibility was getting higher and higher.
"Or I'm suggesting. Shangguan Yun was unhurried, as if he was telling a tortuous story, "There is no need to frame it for the Central Plains court, just push it to a certain Central Plains sect, and afterwards say that they are acting privately, and the emperor does not know about it at all, and then send a group of masters to sneak into the Central Plains and slaughter this sect, even if it is revenge." β
"In this plan, there is no need for Shangguan Ru to appear. Gu Shenwei said.
"As I said, I like this sister very much, and I am willing to save her life whenever possible, but this requires the cooperation of the Dragon King. β
Gu Shenwei had already guessed what Shangguan Yun's "threat" was, but he still hummed and motioned for him to continue.
"The king of the day is a nasty character, the king of Kuari is very dissatisfied with him, and he is also very jealous, if the dragon king can solve this trouble, the king of the dragon is willing to make concessions and let go of his sister, if the dragon king chooses to be loyal, then there is no way, the king of the dragon is not willing to have more branches, or will let the sister appear at the scene of the assassination, and then the dragon king will take the blame. β
"Or I can find a way to thwart the assassination plot and let the old Khan survive, and at the same time see the true face of King Khari. β
"Of course you can, but you can't save your sister, and you can't defeat King Kuari, King Rizhu and Xiao Yan can see the old Khan King at any time, and they can't tell the truth, will anyone believe your words?"
Indeed, in the Dragon Court, there was more than one person who had a premonition that the old Khan King was going to die, and some even took action to prevent the assassination, but none of them could frighten the King of Khari.
As a strange visitor, this is exactly what Gu Shenwei feels the most incomprehensible, the old Khan King seems to be more wooden than a stone man, and he has no reaction in the face of his arrogant children and grandchildren.
"If I accept your threat, what pledge do you have?"
"I'm just promised. Shangguan Yun looked disappreciative even when he said about himself, as if "I" no longer belonged to him, "I will stay as a hostage, and after the matter is completed, King Kuari will not let go like a sister, and you will kill me." β
Gu Shenwei was hesitating, and in the camp of the country of incense, the old man Mu was also hesitating.
"I can't kill, I can't maim my limbs, oops, how can I clean you up?" Old Man Mu rubbed his hands, although the acupuncture points had not yet been unlocked, he was already jumping with excitement.
The sharp pain slowly eased, and Dao Nian was embarrassed by his weakness just now, and muttered, "Kill me, you kill me." β
Shangguan Fei stood aside and watched, his acupuncture points were not unlocked, and he was very happy to fall into the well for Lao Dao, "What a miscellaneous hair, people clearly said that they can't kill you, you have to pretend to be brave and be a hero, so you are not hypocritical." β
Old Man Mu was very satisfied with this sentence and nodded, "That's it, but it's normal, the entire Yuqing faction is so hypocritical." β
"The Yuqing faction is the authentic sect of the Xuanmen, old man Mu, do you even want to slander your own sect?"
"Huh. Old Man Mu seemed to have heard the most nonsensical joke, "Let you know what the old man has done to 'his own sect', I like Master Niang, I killed Master, and all martial arts have been transformed." Niubi, don't you want to know the secret of my martial arts? Tell you, it's the four words 'ruthless', what the external skills of the Yuqing faction pay attention to are weak and strong, and the Tao is natural, I prefer to overcome the rigid and rebel against nature, and as a result, I succeeded, and the bland moves have all become peerless martial arts in my hands. β
"It turns out that this is how peerless martial arts come about. Shangguan Fei cooperated in admiration.
"Of course, you have seen my five-hole boxing, the boxing book says 'the hole is mysterious, all over the five organs', referring to his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, will the old man be so pedantic? β
Shangguan Fei sincerely admired, "The old man is really powerful, no wonder no one can beat you." β
Dao Nian whispered a few verses and said, "Old man Mu, you have done many evils, and you will be punished. β
"Old fellow, have you forgotten that you are a disciple of the Three Qings, you don't seek immortality, what kind of retribution does you talk about when you learn from a bald donkey? Speaking of immortality, look at your appearance of getting older and more tender, the kung fu of collecting yin and supplementing yang must be very powerful, tell me, how many women have you picked?"
"Hugh has nonsense, the Yuqing faction is the authentic ...... Xuanmen"
"The more Xuan loves to lie, and it's not a great kung fu to collect yin and replenish yang, do you think I haven't practiced? Alas, if I hadn't been harmed by Xiaoyuetang to become what I am now, I would be younger than you?"
Dao Nian refused to answer.
Shangguan Fei listened with great interest, "Is it really so amazing?"
"Of course, but you kid can only pick the sun, and the winding paths lead to seclusion, but you can't make up for yourself. β
Shangguan Fei blushed rarely, "I, I've been for a long time...... Not like that anymore. β
"No need to explain, the old man has never seen anyone, don't think how special you are, there are so many men like you, the people of Beiting look bold, and there are many people who secretly engage in this kind of tone. β
Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself why he didn't see any of them.
Old man Mu looked back and forth between Shangguan Fei and Dao Nian a few times, "This is a wonderful idea, you can't kill or be disabled, Shangguan Fei, give you some sweetness, let's pick this old way." β
The two shouted "no" in unison, but the more he thought about it, the happier he became, ignoring Dao Nian, and only persuaded Shangguan Fei, "The opportunity is rare, the Yuqing School is very good at health preservation, you look at the old Dao, the appearance is in his forties, the skin is in his thirties, and in some places it is even younger, do you think, so many women's virgin bodies are white?"
Shangguan Fei still shook his head, "What about his actual age?"
"Well, why do you care so much, fairies are thousands of years old, and they marry mortals, and I haven't heard of anyone who doesn't want to. β
Dao Nian was unwilling, and hurriedly said: "Poor Dao is seventy-six this year. β
Shangguan Fei was even more uninterested, and the old man Mu still had to persuade the dragon king to open the curtain and come in, saving the chastity of the elders of the Yuqing faction.
Dao Nian begged desperately: "Dragon King, let me go, I will agree to all requests." β
Gu Shenwei was very surprised, he didn't expect that Old Man Mu had more means than himself, saving a lot of time.
"I want to see the old Khan. β
"No problem. Dao Nian replied categorically.
In order to meet the old Khan King, Gu Shen wanted to understand why an obvious assassination attempt could be ignored by the demigod-like lord of the steppe.
