Chapter 233: Conspiracy
On the day when the coffin of the big-headed god was transported into Biyu City, Luo Ning tea officially took off the veil and never wore it back again.
King Dubu declared Iron Mountain to be the enemy of Jinpeng Castle, but still declared that he would hold a funeral worthy of the identity of the big head god, and Shangguan Nu complied with his father's wishes, not only sending the corpse, but also transporting a considerable amount of Iron Mountain's wealth back to Stone Castle as a symbol of his allegiance.
In this way, the father and son proved to suspicious outsiders that Jinpeng Castle was still monolithic.
The people who flocked to the street to see the excitement were ten times more than when Luo Ning Tea married into Jinpeng Castle, and their curiosity was greatly satisfied at the beginning, the coffin of the big-headed god was so huge, usually the city gate was only half open, but today it had to be fully opened.
Eight sturdy bullocks slowly walked into Biyu City, each step revealing solemn sadness, dozens of coffin guards looked solemn, each holding an iron mountain banner in their hands, the flag was waving in the wind, and the spear head embroidered on it writhed like a snake.
The inhabitants were infected, and a sense of respect arose in their hearts, and they involuntarily retreated and bowed in salute, they had all heard the absurd legends, such as the god of the big head eating several living people a day, and so on, but at this time he was treated as a king who had died in battle, a god who had run out of luck, and gave him sincere respect, and some even shed tears.
As soon as the coffin of the big-headed god reached the center of the city, the atmosphere of sadness was broken by a commotion.
The commotion began at the North City Gate, like burning catkins on the side of the road, spreading swiftly and quickly down the streets, and in an instant, the coffin of the big-headed god was no longer the focus, and everyone craned their necks to look back, whispering to each other the words, "That woman has revealed her true face." ”
That is, from this day on, "that woman" and "woman in the stone castle" are no longer generic titles, but exclusive to Luo Ning Tea alone.
She didn't need to be helped, she walked alone on the bluestone paved street, Yahuan and her entourage followed ten steps away, there were people on both sides, but it was as quiet as the desert, this was the first time she took off her veil in public, it felt like the first time ordinary people stripped naked on the street, countless eyes were like a knife, cutting the skin, stabbing the heart, she felt that she had used her last strength with every step, but the future was still far away.
The men were silent and excited, the women were ashamed and jealous, and nearly 200,000 residents slowly developed the same thought: Madame Meng was very wrong, how could she abuse such a fairy-like figure?
Luo Ningcha saw the coffin, in which lay her father, her foundation, her backer, her everything, all now reduced to a cold corpse, as merciless as the walls of the stone castle.
Luo Ningcha was terrified these days, and had no personal feelings about her father's death, until the huge coffin was placed in front of her, and the image of the big-headed god suddenly appeared in front of her, and nostalgia and grief arose from the bottom of her heart, hitting the key point when she was defenseless.
The father is really dead, Luo Ningcha's body shook, and the crowd let out sympathy and unbearable cries in unison, and countless hands stretched out before the master's thoughts, trying to support this woman who was in a desperate situation.
Luo Ningcha held on, his pale and weak fingers caressed the coffin, slowly walked around, took a deep breath, raised his head, escorted his father's coffin through the north gate, and walked to Jinpeng Castle.
It was a long journey, and the undetermined residents followed it all the way until they were blocked by the stone bridge of Jinpeng Castle, and many of them lingered outside late at night, trying to smell the fragrance left by "that woman" in the air.
As soon as he entered the stone castle, Luo Ningcha collapsed in the arms of the maids, proudly turned his head to look at the killer behind him, closed his eyes, and let himself faint.
She completed the task assigned by Huan Nu.
On the night when Dubu Wang solved the crisis, Gu Shenwei had an in-depth conversation with Luo Ningcha, and even the blind and tongueless Cui Nu was taken away by the Dutch girl, and there were only two of them in the whole room.
"Miss, you have no way out. Gu Shenwei didn't use the word "we", because he knew that Luo Ningcha didn't care about anyone but himself.
Luo Ningcha rarely remained calm, she didn't cry or make trouble, she was not calm, but like a little beast forced into a corner, she was completely stunned, "Husband, ......"
"The eighth young master will never return to the stone castle, he betrayed the Dubu King, everyone knows that the praise of the king is just a delaying tactic. ”
"And what about me leaving the Stone Castle? The big head god left me a lot of things. ”
"First, the stone castle will not let you go, and second, without the protection of the stone castle, the wealth of the big-headed god is not a guarantee but a disaster. ”
Luo Ningcha fell on the bed sobbing and cried, selfishness often blindfolded her, but she was not stupid, she knew that what Huan Nu said was true, her father and husband, the two pillars collapsed at the same time, she was really cornered, Mrs. Meng was busy fighting for power, and once she eased her hand, she would retaliate against her.
Gu Shenwei waited for her to cry almost and said, "Put to death and come back to life, does Miss have the courage to fight against the water?"
Luo Ningcha behind the screen straightened up, "What do you mean?
"Yes. Gu Shenwei paused for a moment before saying this word that made the young lady ecstatic.
Luo Ningcha stood up, "Huan slave, good Huan slave, tell me what you can do?"
"There are people in power, but those powers do not belong to him, and there is always a source of power, and this source is the most reliable dependence, more reliable than fathers and husbands. ”
"You mean...... The king?"
"Yes. ”
"But he won't protect me, there is no big-headed god, why would he protect a lonely and helpless woman?" Luo Ningcha's brain in this regard is still clear.
"Mrs. Meng has an average relationship with her mother's family, but she is still favored by the king. ”
"Those twenty slave girls sent by my father, if I can use them to win the favor of the king......" Luo Ningcha's voice was raised, and the whole person was cheered up.
"Madame Meng won't let them be seen by the king. Gu Shenwei said that in his original plan, he also wanted to use the twenty female slaves, but he later changed his mind.
"What then?"
Gu Shenwei was silent for a while, "Huan Nu dared to make a request, please forgive Miss." ”
"Say, you can ask for anything. Luo Ningcha said eagerly, like a drowning man grasping at the last floating log.
"Please step out of the screen and take off the veil. After saying this, Gu Shenwei immediately knelt down on one leg, lowered his head to look at the ground, and made a gesture of pleading.
There was no response for a long time behind the screen, Luo Ningcha gradually understood Huan Nu's plan, first anger in her heart, then shame, then grievance and self-pity, and finally she woke up, everything in this world is illusory, her father can only rely on it for a while, her husband can't even rely on it for a while, and the only person who can rely on it for life is not these two people, nor Huan Nu and the king, only herself.
Gu Shenwei heard the sound of cursing the veil and the sound of small footsteps, and then a very soft voice spoke, which was completely different from the usual tone of the young lady, "Raise your head." ”
Gu Shenwei raised his head and looked at the young lady under the light, and then lowered his head again after a while, "Those twenty female slaves are not as good as a single hair of the young lady." ”
Luo Ningcha felt dizzy, removing the thick veil, the whole person was a little light-weighted, and the gaze of the third man other than her father and husband also made her heart tremble.
"But the problem is still the same, I can't see the king. ”
Gu Shenwei was only three or four points sure, but now he has seven or eight points of confidence, "It's up to people to make things happen, Miss don't worry, I have my own plan, but I still have to ask Miss a few questions." ”
"Ask, as long as you can save me from this maelstrom, everything is up to you. ”
"That old Zhang ......"
"Hey. Luo Ningcha laughed, "It's not that you told me, 'loyal people are often the ideal betrayers', Lao Zhang is the most loyal to Shangguan Nu, I tried it on him, and the result really made you right, I just lifted the first veil, and he was determined to be loyal to me, but he was just a groom, it was really useless, that is, to help me hide something or something." ”
Gu Shenwei once transferred the knowledge that Zhang Ji taught him to Luo Ning Tea, and he didn't even remember many of the contents, but he didn't expect Miss to really take it seriously.
"Miss is hiding the secret of the big-headed god, I want to hear the details. ”
Gu Shenwei held a secret of Luo Ning tea in her hand, knowing that she had killed a person who was very important to the big-headed god, but she never knew the specific content, and this time she took the opportunity to make the young lady confess.
"Don't you know?" Luo Ningcha became alert, because Huan Nu once claimed to know everything.
"Yes, but I want to know the details. ”
"Does this have anything to do with what is happening now?"
"I'm giving advice for Miss, and it's a capital offense to spread it, so I hope Miss can prove that you fully trust me. ”
Luo Ningcha retreated behind the screen, and her habits for many years would not be changed immediately, she was more comfortable here, "What are the details, I have an elder brother, the big-headed god likes him very much, I am not happy, Xue Niang killed him, and then told me that he was killed for me, in fact, she wanted to control me in this way." ”
Luo Ningcha's voice became indifferent, as if it was telling someone else's story, Gu Shenwei guessed that Xue Niang naturally had ulterior motives, but Luo Ning Tea must have been very supportive of Xue Niang's approach at that time, and Luo Ning Tea was really a member of the Shangguan family.
"It's the same as what Xue Niang told me. Gu Shenwei lied, Luo Ningcha is a fickle and irritable person, it is difficult to master, he has to be like Xue Niang, hold the handle tightly to control her.
"It's time to tell me your plan, how to get the Lord to see me. "Luo Ningcha is extremely proud of his appearance, and now he has more confidence than Huan Nu.
"It's hard, almost impossible for the Lord to see you, and we have to let him 'listen' to you. ”
Luo Ningcha fell into deep thought, "It's that simple?"
"Of course not, the king has read countless people, is the young lady sure to keep his heart?" Gu Shenwei had to ask this question, Shangguan Nu had seen Luo Ning Tea and had been infatuated for a while, but in the end he abandoned her despite betraying Shibao and his father.
This sentence seemed too straightforward, and Luo Ningcha's shame and anger came out again, "What do you mean?"
"Miss needs a Master. Gu Shenwei doesn't care about these, all schemes are ruthless, and he can't do big things with a shy answer, as for "Master", he already has a suitable candidate in his heart, he sent Xu Yanwei to Shibao to save her life and use her to pass on the news, and now, she has a greater use.
