Chapter 284: The Underground Palace

Gu Shenwei had never studied in the Wood Carving Academy, and his understanding of the primary training of killers mainly came from observing the Dutch girl.

It's just that after ten months in the carved wood courtyard, great changes have taken place in the lotus girl, in addition to the improvement of martial arts, she is better at hiding her inner emotions than before, and she can't see the jealousy of Huannu at all.

In comparison, the female killer of Tianji Club is too naΓ―ve, asking questions around idols, no different from a group of ordinary little girls.

Guan Shang said that Shangguan Ru took over the Tianji Society two years ago, and even after that, the trainer would not be the Tenth Prince himself, and the real teacher should be familiar with all the methods of Jinpeng Castle, and he would never train such an unqualified apprentice.

Guan Shang and several female archers under him are relatively normal, like killers.

Gu Shenwei suddenly realized that these little girls who "worshipped" the Dragon King were here to deceive his trust.

Shangguanru's refusal to show up made the Bodhi Garden Underground Palace look like a trap.

He remained silent, continued to tell stories and knife techniques to the curious, and then stretched, "It's a little stuffy, can anyone take me around the neighborhood?"

Seven or eight little girls got up together and rushed to be guides.

The dungeon occupies a large area, some of which even go deep into the lake, and the passages and rooms are lit by torches and candles, which are not very well lit, just to simulate the night environment.

The night is the most favorite and active time for the killers.

Gu Shenwei estimated that there were hundreds of people living in the entire underground palace, and he saw that many adult male and female killers were training apprentices, and the skills and temperament of those apprentices were not the same as the seven or eight little girls who were beside him, and the difference was not obvious, but since he was suspicious, he naturally saw more things.

The killer apprentices are relatively silent, they see more and ask less questions, and in front of people with a higher status than themselves, they are especially unsmiling, and when they are called out of the competition, they are extremely ruthless, and they seem to have a deep hatred for each other.

Standard killers don't trust others, and it is difficult to earn the trust of others.

In the end, everyone came to an area with a complicated path, and a torch was lit at a long distance, Gu Shenwei remembered that this place was not far from the entrance, "Let's go out and take a breath, it's really boring here." ”

"Okay, but we don't have the key, we can't get out. One little girl seemed very disappointed, "I've been here for almost five months and I've never been out. ”

The little girls nodded one after another, they had been in the dungeon for a long time, ranging from a few months to six or seven months, and they still remembered the outside world and missed it very much.

Gu Shenwei returned to his residence, feeling a little confused, he may be too suspicious, these little girls probably have not undergone formal training, so they will retain their innocent character, and have nothing to do with traps and conspiracies.

He pretended to rest, took everyone away, closed his eyes and slept for a while, got up quietly, followed the path he had written, and walked towards the exit of the underground palace.

If you can leave the dungeon unhindered, you can prove that there are no traps.

As a result, he got lost.

The mark was still there, but the place where it was not long ago suddenly turned into a thick wall, which could not be pushed by manpower, Gu Shenwei was forced to detour, and soon he couldn't find a way out, and he forgot the way out, until he broke into a small room dedicated to knife practice, and a female apprentice sent the dragon king back to his residence.

The apprentice was silent, with obvious vigilance in his expression, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he had already engraved the obvious mark of Jinpeng Castle.

Before a candle burned out, the customs merchant came and replaced it with a new candle, bringing a lot of news, several of which were not good news.

"The family of the city governor is coming to visit the Bodhi Garden, and we may not be able to go out for a while, but it is safe here, and the Dragon King can live in peace of mind. ”

Guan Shang said this casually in a pile of news, as if this was the least important thing, but Gu Shenwei finally determined that he had been caught in a trap, "The family members of the Ducheng Palace seem to like to visit the garden during the untimely season. ”

"Who said no, there is nothing in the Bodhi Garden at this time, no different from wasteland. ”

This was the end of the conversation about leaving the dungeon, and it quickly moved on to other topics.

The search of the Golden Wings Killer in Biyu City has become more and more strict, and many areas that have rarely been set foot in the past, such as Wangcheng Lane and the Four Truths Garan, have also been harassed to varying degrees.

The act of impersonating the dragon king has dropped significantly, but the identity of the assassination target is getting higher and higher, a large hooded corpse in the blacksmith village is lying on the street, the black blood flag is planted in the stomach, and an exiled nobleman in the northern city is dead on the bed with dozens of cruel cuts on his body.

Guan Shang finally said of Shangguan Ru, "The tenth prince will not be able to go down the mountain for a while and a half, a big competition is being held in the fort, and all the children of the Shangguan family are being inspected. ”

"The tenth son's martial arts are very good, and he must be able to easily crown himself above everyone. ”

"Well, the tenth prince is young, and his sword skills and internal skills are the best in the castle, even the old killer who has practiced for decades can't compare to her, and there are a few good rising stars in the clan, but they are far worse than the ten princes. ”

Gu Shenwei thought that Guan Shangshang would continue to talk, but he didn't expect her to end there, and talked about other things, until he said goodbye, and he didn't mention the matter of martial arts competitions.

But this was just a trick to confuse the Dragon King and prevent him from doubting too early.

The next time Guan Shang came, his expression was not very natural, as if he was worried about something, Gu Shenwei knew that she was waiting for her to speak first, so she asked, "Something happened to the tenth prince?"

"Nope. Guan Shang immediately replied, and after a while, as if against his own will, he reluctantly said: "No one expected that there were two masters hidden among the younger generation of the Shangguan family, and if the tenth prince wanted to win the championship, I am afraid it would not be so easy." ”

"Oh, who's the master?"

"The Dragon King may not have heard of them, they are two brothers, the elder brother's name is Dewei, eighteen years old, and the younger brother's name is Dezhi, sixteen years old, I don't know how they practiced, they have been obscure, and suddenly they became extremely powerful, and the old killers who have seen their martial arts competition say that these two brothers are the top disciples of the Shangguan family. ”

"I don't think they will be the match of the Ten Princes. ”

Shangguan Ru had practiced the Daoless Divine Skill, which was a huge gap that no one else in the fort could make up.

"Well, the Tenth Prince...... Actually, I shouldn't have said that...... However, others are kept in the dark, and the Dragon King must know that the martial arts of the Ten Princes are no problem, but the killing intent is insufficient, and it is likely to be soft, and the brothers are ruthless, I am afraid of ......"

"At the moment of life and death, the tenth prince will have enough murderous intent. ”

"I hope so, alas, if only there was any way to make the Ten Princes' murderous intent a little stronger. The tenth prince is a good leader, if she is defeated, the lady will change the command of the Tianji Society. ”

Guan Shang didn't say some words, she was waiting for the Dragon King to wake up himself, if the Ten Princes lost the command of the Heavenly Machine Society, the Dragon King's safety in the underground palace could not be guaranteed.

Gu Shenwei didn't answer, and it wasn't until Guan Shang said goodbye and was about to leave that he said, "I hope the tenth prince can come here." ”

"The Ten Sons Are ......"

"I know she's preparing for a joust, it's not going to take her long, there are some important things that I have to say to her personally. ”

Guan Shang hesitated for a long time, "Is it really important?"

"It's important. ”

"Dragon King, you can trust me. ”

"I believe you, but this matter can only be told to the tenth prince himself. ”

"Okay, I'll have someone bring news to the tenth prince, but whether she can go down the mountain or not has to pass the lady's level. ”

The Ten Sons will go down the mountain, Gu Shenwei is extremely sure now, as for who this "Ten Princes" is, it is difficult to say.

After waiting for another two days, Guan Shang brought different news each time, and the tenth prince could come for a while and couldn't come for a while, that kind of posture, as if she was fighting fiercely against the obstruction forces in the fort.

When Guan Shang came again, he brought good news, "Dragon King, please come with me." ”

She didn't mention the Tenth Prince, which kept the whole thing a mystery.

Gu Shenwei made a tacit look, nodded, took the sword, and followed Guan Shang to see the tenth prince.

The road became narrower and narrower, and in many places only one person could barely pass, and Gu Shenwei felt that they were walking towards the bottom of the lake.

There was a long corridor that was quite special, and as soon as it approached, the swords and daggers on Gu Shenwei's body were ready to move, floating in the air, wanting to leave the master's grasp.

"I'm sorry, Dragon King, this is a corridor caused by magnets, it's inconvenient to bring swords, we'd better leave them outside. ”

Guan Shang untied the narrow knife, Gu Shenwei didn't want to give up his weapon, so after thinking about it, he still handed it over to Guan Shang and sent it to a nearby stone chamber for preservation.

Passing through the magnet hallway, the two entered a large room.

The person in the room turned out to be Shangguan Ru.

The lights were a little dim, but the person sitting at the table was clearly her, wearing a pale yellow dress, and her appearance was the same as what Gu Shenwei had seen in front of the gate of the Four Noble Truths.

Guan Shang bowed and left the room.

"Ten Sons. Gu Shenwei nodded slightly, feeling very uncomfortable, he was now the Dragon King, and he was no longer a slave of Jinpeng Castle.

"Huannu. Shangguan Ru called his former name, his voice was very low, and he probably felt as uncomfortable as Gu Shenwei, "I didn't expect to see you again." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect you to send someone to save me twice. ”

"You're the best I've ever ...... Friend, I won't let anyone hurt you. ”

"I always remember what you said. ”

"I haven't forgotten either. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and both of them seemed to be reminiscing about the past, slowly soaking in the joy of reunion.

Gu Shenwei remembered that eleven-year-old Shangguan Ru once gave Huan Nu the only chance of trust, but he did not make a corresponding promise.

"You still can't kill. ”

"I don't know what's wrong with me, it's been three years, it's still like this. ”

"I have a way to restore your murderous intent, but you have to be willing. ”

"I ...... I don't want to kill anyone, but people want to kill me. ”

"That's right, you can't live in the stone castle without murderous intent, it's not that you want to kill, it's that you have to kill. ”

Gu Shenwei approached as he spoke.

"Don't come here. Shangguan Ru turned around slightly, seemingly a little shy, "We're not children anymore, don't let people see jokes." ”

"Yes. Gu Shenwei said respectfully, as if she had gone back to the past, she was the master and he was the slave.

Then he rushed over, strangled Shangguan Ru's neck with his left arm, and held a sharpened chopstick in his right hand against her throat, "Nine Young Masters, you really like to be a woman." ”

Shangguan Fei's arm holding the dagger stiffened in the air.
