Chapter 545: The Past
The scene of the meeting at Tongtianguan, coupled with the previous impression, made Shangguan Nu finally confirm that the former little slave was the culprit who caused his palm to be chopped off.
"He claims to be the son of Yang Zheng, a servant of the Gu family, but I am sure that he is by no means the son of a slave. After defecting to the North Court, he said this to the king of the sun.
"That's because he's become a dragon king. ”
"No, he was like this when he first entered Jinpeng Castle, although he pretended to be very deferential, his demeanor and eyes were wrong, I should have been suspicious at the time, but I couldn't have thought of ......"
"There are so many things you didn't expect. "The king of Rizhu said with a little disdain, the first betrayal is sometimes excusable, and the successive betrayals are shameful, Shangguan Nu is now like a lost dog, and there is only a little bit of use value left, which is not enough to exchange for a good face.
The King of the Sun Chase does not draw conclusions based on the words of a traitor, so he has to be tempted, first by action, then by words, everything is under his control, and the only accident is that the Dragon King steals the Flame Pony, forcing him to have an early showdown.
He really liked the horse.
"Do you want revenge, or dominate the Western Regions?"
The king of the day no longer turns around and erases, no longer detours and temptations, but the anger and hatred in Gu Shenwei's heart are like turning over the river and the sea, and it is difficult to think about the other party's problems.
The hatred in his heart has never weakened, but he has been forcibly suppressed, and occasionally there will be times when he gets out of control, such as now, killing the prince of Beiting in front of him desperately has become a fatal temptation, and this temptation even outlines a picture of ecstasy after killing, showing it in front of the master's eyes, muttering, and persuading the master to become one with himself.
"Give me back the skull. Gu Shenwei's tone and expression did not change much, he overcame the temptation of hatred, and he was so tired that he seemed to have engaged in a wheel battle with ten supreme masters.
The details could not escape the eyes of the Sun Chase King, and he felt the relaxation of the Dragon King's emotions, and saw this as a friendly expression, "Of course, it's useless for me to keep it, it's really not much fun to take revenge on the dead." ”
"You didn't hire Jinpeng Castle?"
"Believe it or not, I did want to kill Gu Lun, and I made a plan, but I was preempted by Jinpeng Castle. If you want me to say, the people who kill your whole family are not for revenge, a simple truth, the avenger wants to see the enemy suffer and be killed, but the person who kills for profit does not care about the process, only cares about the result. ”
Gu Shenwei is an avenger, he only cares about the result, but the words of the king of the day still make sense, what he said is human nature, not the idea of a killer.
The rude King of the Day is better able to guide than the treacherous Wei Song, he didn't mention a word about the Central Plains, but kicked the ball of hatred back, and the people who have a conflict of interest with Gu Lun are, of course, the most likely objects are the ministers in the Central Plains court.
Didn't Wei Song's son personally participate in the assassination?King Rizhu must have heard this information from Shangguan Nu, so he gave a hint just right, and let the Dragon King think about the rest.
"Gu Lun, how is my father...... Murderous?"
In the accounts of ordinary Beiting people, the guards from the Central Plains took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the son of the king of the sun like despicable assassins, Gu Shenwei could not believe this, in his impression, his father attached great importance to honor, and was also very confident in his own martial arts, and would never take assassination methods.
The king also had hatred in his heart, and he was furious at the recollection of the past, but he also calmed down, looked down for a while, and began to tell the truth as he knew.
"I know what everyone said about that incident, many eyewitnesses looked at my face, claiming that Gu Lun used a sneak attack to kill my son, to tell the truth-" King Rizhu sighed heavily, looking very reluctant to tell the truth, "These rumors are not fair, my son is a good hand at riding a horse and archery, if you talk about swords, you only have the kung fu of a three-legged cat, if you want to kill him, you don't need a sneak attack at all." ”
It was against the original intention of the king to belittle his own son, and at the same time to defend his enemy, so he picked up the wine jar, poured himself a bowl, drank it all up, and then told it in a different way, as if it were someone else's story, and had nothing to do with him.
The cause of the incident did originate from a woman, she almost became the daughter-in-law of the king of the day, but unlike the rumors, the seven princes of the Central Plains did not have any contact with her, he was the prince, and he had been a hostage in Beiting for many years.
King Rizhu once investigated in detail and confirmed that his future daughter-in-law was as innocent as jade, and she had not even met the Seventh Prince.
He had to admit that it was his son who started the trouble.
The son of the king of the day, like most of the men of the northern court, was fond of bragging after drinking, and that day he blew so hard that his voice drowned out everyone, and after talking about war and horses, he began to talk about his fiancée, complimenting her on how beautiful she was, and then proudly claiming that he had slept with his fiancée's sister and the maid.
"The women in her family are all working mares, and ordinary people can't satisfy them. ”
Why did the son of the king of the day publicly humiliate his fiancée's family? The reason is unknown, probably because of drunken nonsense, which is common among young men in the North Court, and some even boast that they had sex with their father's favorite concubine in order to boast of their charm.
The people of Beiting usually laugh at this, and the Seven Princes of the Central Plains, who have lived in Beiting for many years, still can't fully integrate into the local area, and "sneer" at an inopportune time, which leads to a bloody case.
The son of the king of Rizhu happened to hear this, and also saw the expression of the seventh prince, so he decided to tease him, "Ah, Your Highness, tell us what the taste of women in the Central Plains is, I heard that the emperor of the Central Plains raised thousands of women, how many have you touched? Wait, you came to Beiting when you were a teenager, except for the nurse's **, probably you haven't even seen your own mother's breasts, right?"
The son of the king of the day was fond of his jokes, and after laughing, he was not satisfied, and continued: "Xiao Qi, you don't have to worry, come with me to her house tomorrow, I will find a beautiful little slave girl, and let you open the meat after I finish it." ”
The men of the North Court were generally open-mouthed after drinking, but the son of the king of the day was still a little too much, and the king of the day was almost repeating his son's words as they were, shaking his head as he spoke, "He is an excellent warrior, he is brave and never afraid of death, but I have long been worried that he will get into trouble because of that mouth, but no matter what, he has no malicious intent." ”
In the eyes of the son of the king of the day, this is just an ordinary prank, but the seventh prince can't bear it anymore and pounces on it to save face for himself.
Even if the son of the king of the sun is drunk, he is still handy in fighting, what he didn't expect was that the seventh prince would actually do martial arts, the two were entangled together, and after being pulled away, the seventh prince's nose and face were swollen, and the opponent only had a few more scratches on his chest.
"Scratch people, Xiao Qi will make the girl's trick. The son of the king of the sun is still unforgiving, "It seems that you don't want to have meat with women, but don't look for me, I'll introduce you to ......"
It was at this time that Gu Lun appeared, demanding that the son of the king of Rizhu apologize, otherwise he would compete in martial arts, and the loser would admit his mistake.
Gu Lun was not yet forty years old at that time, and he was already very old, and while safeguarding the interests of his master, he didn't want to offend the powerful people of Beiting, so his so-called martial arts competition was to ask the other party to send a guard as well.
But the son of the king of Rizhu was already confused, he didn't understand the straightforward words, thinking that Xiao Qi's guards were challenging him, and at this time it was his turn to feel insulted, so without saying a word, he pulled out his waist knife and cut it when he rushed up.
This is not a formal competition, but there is no sneak attack and plotting, Gu Lun made a few moves, and at the urging of the Seven Princes, he took out a knife and slashed the opponent.
What happened next was just as rumored that the wounded son of the king was carried home and died in his bed a few days later.
"Gu Lun is a master, he has the ability to teach my son a lesson, and he also has the ability to keep him from dying, but when my son died, he died in front of me, and in the end he couldn't even speak, just stared at me, coughing up blood. I held him, knew what he was thinking, vowed to avenge him, and then put an end to his suffering with my own hands, my son, cannot die at the hands of others. ”
The more the king spoke, the calmer he became, but the hatred contained in it became deeper and deeper.
Gu Shen was speechless for a while, and King Rizhu said many things he had never heard of, especially the plot of King Rizhu's killing of his son with his own hands.
But something is wrong, Gu Shen understands his own knife skills, and there are many tricks to kill, but none of them can make the other party hold on for several days, and in the end he can't even speak.
"Poison on the knife?"
The King of the Sun Chase gritted his teeth, his hard cheekbones almost piercing the skin, and nodded in acknowledgement.
"No way, my father doesn't know how to use poison, let alone use poison, you also said that he can easily defeat your son than a sword and a fist, and his original challenge was also a guard. ”
King Rizhu was silent for a while before he spoke, "I invited several famous doctors from the North Garden, the Central Plains, and the Western Regions, in the name of others, none of them knew my son, and after seeing the corpse, they all said that he was poisoned and died. In fact, I don't need them to say that I also know that I kept the body for almost half a year, and the wound began to swell three days after his death, and then ruptured seven days later, and there was pus and blood all over the ground. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't know whether to believe in the king of the sun, but he believed in his father, "The person who poisoned him couldn't be my father." ”
"Maybe, maybe not. "Your father is the one who did it, and the Seventh Prince is the one who wants my son to die, they are all my enemies, and they are all dead, none of them died in front of me, let alone in my hands." ”
"The competition was an accident, and you need to prepare in advance to smear poison on a knife. Gu Shenwei still did not give up defending his father.
"Maybe the knife and poison have been prepared a long time ago, as for accidents, my son's broken mouth can always create accidents. ”
"Enough, that's what hatred is all about, both of my enemies are dead, and although I am not satisfied, I am helpless, and I will not transfer the hatred to their offspring." As for you, the camp of the King of the Sun is easy to find, and I look forward to your visit, and it is better to take my horse with me, which is more important than my son, and after that, we may talk about other things. ”
The king of the day strode away, Gu Shenwei fell into deep thought, there were flaws in the other party's story, but he couldn't find the specific location.
The Lotus Girl appeared behind him, and she heard the whole conversation, and whispered, "The wound only began to swell three days after death, and it ruptured in seven days, which sounds a bit like Xiaoyuetang's method. ”
