Tu Pianpian felt that her patience was coming to an end, "Beiting is really not a place for people. She gripped the cane with her right hand and slowly whirled it into the ground, sinking deeper and deeper.

She stood in a rudimentary tent, the ground still covered with jagged grass, and the rain outside was uninvited and had reached her ankles.

"This tent, this ground, this rotten bed, this rain, this mutton, and the smell of corpses in the distance are driving me crazy. She looked at the three uninvited guests opposite, with a resolute and arrogant expression on her face, "But unless I get the head of the old Khan King, I will never leave." ”

"I'm not here to talk about the head of the old Khan. Gu Shenwei said calmly, on his left and right stood Tu Dog and Fan Yongda.

Fan Yong was injured and insisted on accompanying the Dragon King, and only he could understand the various codes left by the Central Plains Sect and find the location of the Kongtong Sect.

"Tomorrow afternoon's competition, the Dragon King thinks he will definitely win?" Tu Pianpian asked sarcastically, obviously full of confidence in the two Qingcheng masters.

As soon as Tu Gou stood in front of his sister, he felt that he was half shorter, and he plucked up his courage and said, "Senior sister, the Dragon King has come to ask you about someone." ”

"Who is your senior sister?" Tu Pianpian reprimanded, "You two are now subordinates of the Hu people, if it weren't for the covenant of martial arts, we would fight to the death now." ”

Tu Gou didn't dare to squeak, glanced at Fan Yongda, and threw the problem to his nephew.

Fan Yong coughed loudly, half-hung his head and said, "Master Uncle, the Dragon King is actually from the Central Plains. ”

"No matter where you were from in the past, if you are not loyal to the emperor, you will no longer be from the Central Plains!"

"But even so, does the Kongtong faction have to treat the Dragon King with the gift of the Central Plains?"

"Hmph, I knew you were going to do this. The crutches in Tu Pianpian's hand went a few inches into the ground, and the Dragon King once spared her life, which is an undeniable fact, "Say, ask anyone, if it is detrimental to the interests of the Central Plains, I will not say a word." ”

"Marshal Yang. Gu Shenwei said his name.

"Marshal Yang?" Tu Pianpian pulled out his crutches, and the place at the bottom was covered with muddy water, "I understand, you know the Gu Clan's knife technique, what is your relationship with Marshal Yang?"

"My surname is Yang. In order to report his fake surname in the Western Regions, although more and more people knew the details of the Dragon King, he still kept it as secret as possible.

"Well, you are Marshal Yang's nephew? Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you, everyone says that Marshal Yang is a hero of the rivers and lakes, but I can see it clearly, he is just a man who sells his reputation and reputation, and the word 'chivalry' is really a big joke on his head. ”

Fan Yongda's face turned red first, and he interjected: "But I heard ......"

"All you've heard is. Tu Pianpian unceremoniously interrupted his nephew.

"Could it be that the legend of Marshal Yang being a slave for three years and resolving grudges in the rivers and lakes everywhere is fake?" Tu Gou was taken aback, he had just regarded this chivalrous warrior who had no chance to meet as an idol, and he didn't want to fall down so soon.

"Most of the legends are true, but Marshal Yang did these things for another purpose. ”

"What purpose?" "Slaughtering Dog was even more curious than the Dragon King.

"Hey, you don't want to think about it, Marshal Yang used to be a pirate, how could a person like him suddenly change his surname, from killing people to helping others? He first worshipped General Gu as his teacher, learned Gu's unique martial arts, and then mixed into Luojiazhuang in Hedong to learn first-class advanced swordsmanship, this is his purpose, and solving problems afterwards is just a trick to hide people's eyes. ”

"No, even if Marshal Yang has the martial arts of two families, it is not a despicable ugly thing, he is a hero, as long as he has a word, I am willing to ......" Tu Gou felt that his sister was too arbitrary.

Fan Yongda was also nodding, with the rules of the rivers and lakes he knew, there was not much wrong with what Marshal Yang did.

"You know what a fart!" Tu Pianpian hated other people's rebuttals the most, and in a hurry, he spat out dirty words, and immediately sped up his speech to cover up the past, "It's like the Central Plains and Beiting, the two countries are on the same page, and they are about to fight to the death, but one person receives the money on both sides, do you say that this person is shameless or not?"

Tu Gou and Fan Yongda knew what she was referring to, so they all bowed their heads and said nothing, and no one dared to argue that the Dragon King could not be regarded as a person from Beiting.

"Are the Gu family and the Luo family opposed?" Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, he had never heard his father and brother mention the relationship between the two families, but after thinking about it carefully, his father did not say good things about Hedong Luojiazhuang, and even Yang Zheng, who was familiar with the allusions of the rivers and lakes, tried not to talk about the Luo family.

"It's not just the opposite, it's the enemy at all, it is said that General Gu was forced to death by the clansmen of the Luo family who were officials in the court, General Gu was kind to Marshal Yang, but he not only did not take revenge, but also went to the Luo family as a slave for three years with a shy face, do you say this kind of person will be a hero?"

Gu Shenwei's mind was a little confused, he always felt that his father Gu Lun had no personal grudges in the court, and even Wei Song said so, but listening to Tu Pianpian's meaning, the Gu family actually had mortal enemies, and the origin was not small.

Marshal Yang's approach also seemed very strange, being a slave for three years was somewhat similar to Gu Shenwei's sneaking into Jinpeng Castle, but in the end he didn't take revenge, "Marshal Yang didn't kill anyone from the Luo family?"

"Of course he didn't kill him, he has a good relationship with the Luo family, Marshal Yang is chivalrous everywhere, do you think everyone is looking at his face? It's the Hedong Luojiazhuang behind him, they are embarrassed to annihilate, and they are all masters of selling fame and reputation. ”

Tu Gou whispered, "No matter what, chivalry is always true. ”

Fan said to the Dragon King in a louder and smaller voice, "Lord Wei and the Luo family are also opposed. ”

Gu Shenwei had already thought that the Kongtong faction was doing things for Wei Song, and naturally it would also be involved in court disputes, judging from Tu Pianpian's attitude towards Hedong Luojiazhuang, Wei Song was obviously not friends with the Luo family.

"What is the relationship between the Qingcheng faction and Luojiazhuang?" Gu Shenwei put aside his doubts for the time being, his purpose was to find out Lu Mian's loopholes, not to dig up the grievances of the previous generation.

"It's very simple, the Luo family happens to be the leader of the martial arts alliance this year, and there are people in the clan who are big officials, and there is a dispute over the position of the head of the Qingcheng faction, and their own family can't tell clearly, so they have to find the Luo family to decide, and the Luo family is not stupid, use them to do things for themselves, saying that whoever wins the head of the old Khan will support whoever is in charge, that's it. ”

Tu Gou hadn't walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he didn't usually talk much to his sister, but then he listened to it with relish and asked, "How can there be two heads of Qingcheng?" Is this Lu Mian a family with the head of the previous generation, Lu Tong?"

Tu Pianpian glared at his younger brother, "Lu Mian is Lu Tong's son, why don't you even know this?" Lu Tong died early, Lu Mian and the two brothers did not succeed in swordsmanship at that time, and they did not dare to challenge Liu Qingpu, but now that they are sure, they will come to grab the position. ”

"Two brothers?" Slaughter Dog pays attention to the details in the story.

"Lu Mian and Lu Xing return to ......"

"Lu Xinghui is dead. Gu Shenwei said, suddenly thinking of the Central Plains swordsman.

That was before the start of the Dragon Court Conference, Chu Nanping suddenly understood the secret of cultivating ruthless swordsmanship, Gu Shen took him to the untouchable area to find a person to practice swords, the first person was called Gong Ziying, and before he died, he gave his sword to Chu Nanping, revealing that another name was "Gong Xinghui".

Lu Xinghui's swordsmanship was elegant, thinking back to the scene at that time, Gu Shenwei didn't think there was any similarity between him and Lu Mian's swordsmanship.

"Dead?" Tu Pianpian was taken aback, "How could it be?" Lu Mian didn't mention a word. ”

"He used a pseudonym, and Lu Mian probably hadn't heard of it yet. What Gu Shenwei thought in his heart was that Lu Mian was more likely to pretend not to know.

Tu Pianpian shrugged, she was not interested in the Lu brothers, "Tomorrow at noon, it will be over, either the Dragon King will hand over his head, or the Central Plains martial arts people will give up, and they can finally leave this ghost place." ”

"But isn't the head part of the Qingcheng faction?" Tu Gou felt that Senior Sister had forgotten an important content.

"Go, the Kongtong faction's plan has nothing to do with traitors. Tu Pianpian spoke sharply.

After the Qingcheng faction won the head, it had to face more sect struggles, which was the part that Gu Shenwei was not interested in, "Lu Mian's swordsmanship doesn't seem to be from the Qingcheng faction. ”

"Haha. Tu Pianpian laughed a few times, "I knew that the Dragon King wanted to inquire about Lu Mian's swordsmanship from me, I'm sorry, I can't say." ”

Tu Gou's eyes suddenly lit up, he knew his sister best, and immediately saw the problem, "Actually, you didn't understand Lu Mian's swordsmanship, did you?"

"Do you still want to go back to Kongtong Mountain? Do you still have the face to meet the head and the patriarch?"

The slaughtered dog was reprimanded, bent down and bowed his head, without any momentum, and did not dare to tell the truth or lie.

Gu Shenwei walked out of the tent, as soon as the rain stopped, the sky seemed to have been washed, and the stars and moon were exceptionally bright.

Dozens of Kongtong disciples stood far or near, their eyes scattered, but they all held weapons in their hands.

A little farther away, the five thousand Beiting cavalry were in a state of readiness, and a heavy rain did not break up the formation.

After embarking on the return journey and walking for several miles, Gu Shenwei said to Long Chuanyun: "You go back first, I have something to do, and Old Man Mu will go with me." ”

Although Long Chuanyun was surprised, he would not question the Dragon King's order, but instead Tu Gou said: "Dragon King, this is not early, tomorrow at noon is a competition, don't you take a break?"

Old Man Mu's hands have been itching for several days, "Shut up, the Dragon King has his own ideas, and I don't need you to care." ”

"I'll catch up. ”

"Let me and Yongda stay, we can always help. Tu Gou was eager to try and retreated for many years, which made him doubly nostalgic for his adventurous career.

Tu Gou and Fan rarely cooperate with the killers of the Western Regions with great martial arts, but they are familiar with the characters of the Central Plains, and it may be helpful, Gu Shenwei agreed.

Therefore, after midnight, the 5,000 Beiting cavalry returned to the barracks, but the Dragon King and the other four remained in the wilderness.

Fang Wen stayed up all night, and after hearing the news, he was disappointed, and complained in his heart that the Dragon King was becoming less and less like the commander of the first army, and after a few hours, this complaint became public.

As noon approached, the Central Plains martial arts people were invited to the barracks, but the Dragon King did not show up.

"The king has to speak his word, scheming in private, and he has to be trustworthy in the open, saying that the noon contest is the noon contest, and it is not too late for a moment, this ...... Where the hell is the Dragon King?" Fang Wen was so anxious that his face turned red.

Long Chuanyun felt frightened and blamed himself, and stepped forward and said, "Let me play, anyway, this competition didn't say that it had to be the Dragon King." ”

Long Chuanyun is a fierce general, but when it comes to martial arts, it is far behind, Shangguan Fei was the first to shake his head, but he didn't want to take on such a big responsibility, "Mo Lin, you have the best sword skills, and you have fought with them." ”

"I can play. Mo Lin said flatly, "I have seven points against Liu Qingpu, and as for Lu Mian, I have less than a three-percent chance of winning." ”

"What should I do?" Fang Wen scratched his ears and cheeks, "I said a long time ago that I shouldn't agree to the competition, but since I want to compete, I must not lose ......"

"Let me try. ”

There were still a few masters in the barracks, Han Wuxian and Shangguan Yun did not take the initiative to ask for battle, and the person who spoke was Chu Nanping.

Fang Wen was puzzled, although he didn't understand martial arts, he guessed one thing from the words of the dragon king: the young swordsman is not as good as before, and his martial arts have dropped a lot.

"Your sword...... Isn't it broken?" Fang Wen said cautiously.

"I still have one. Chu Nanping was a little cold.

Fang Wen suddenly found that Tie Linglong, who usually stood with Chu Nanping, was nowhere to be seen, and said secretly, the little couple had an awkward quarrel, and they wouldn't joke about the Dragon King's big things.
