Gu Shenwei rode a horse and stood on a small mound at the edge of the village, looking in the direction of the desert, and behind him, ten teams formed into a single group, slowly walking out of Shuangquan Village and starting the first day of the journey to Shiguo.

A small group of children in the village were noisy and running around when they suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Eagle, eagle!"

A black eagle hovered in the air, unbalanced, and seemed to fall to the ground at any moment.

"It hurts. A child said.

"No, it's entangled in snakes. An old man said he was the most experienced guide in the village and was responsible for leading the huge team through the desert.

The children covered their eyes and looked up together, and sure enough, the black eagle had a flower snake in its mouth, and the flower snake refused to wait and wrapped itself tightly around the eagle's body.

Survival depends on who can hold on longer.

"Not a good sign. The old guide said to himself, "This is the season when you shouldn't take this road." ”

"There are no good or bad signs, and bad signs for some people are good signs for others. Gu Shenwei also watched the eagle snake fight.

The old guide was shocked, bowed down and said, "What the Dragon King said is that I hope this good omen is on our side. ”

The Black Hawk flew away with the flower snake, and no one knew the final result.

Walking in the front was the courtship team of Jinpeng Castle, Gu Shenwei didn't see Shangguan Ru's figure, thinking that she was probably disguised.

The team of the Central Plains envoy followed, and the envoy greeted the Dragon King very cordially, Zhong Heng just nodded and did not speak.

A few caravans were followed by the monks of the Four Noble Heavens, twelve people, all on foot, each carrying a large package, who had come to Shuangquan Village with the team of Jinpeng Castle, but did not form a group with them.

There is an old monk, thin as firewood, but the spirit is extremely strong, also walking, carrying a package, Gu Shenwei got the news that his Dharma name is Fa Yan, maybe it is a coincidence, maybe it is intentional, he is the master of Lianhua and others.

The monks turned a blind eye to the Dragon King, and only the old monk Fayan, although he had never officially met him, nodded to him.

More than 30 people from Daxue Mountain ranked last, Lin Xiaoshan led the team, and Guan Shang Yi Rong mixed in it.

The lotus girl finally left the village and rode to Gu Shenwei's side, "Those six caravans are all hiding people of unknown origin, but there are no Jinpeng killers. ”

"The Dubu King will not use the power of Jinpeng Castle, and he does not want to be charged with breaking the armistice. ”

"We don't have enough people. ”

More than thirty people, only three masters, is not a great force anywhere.

"So you can only strike first. ”

The Lotus Girl smiled, this was also her idea, and she had even thought of the first goal, "That relatively small caravan, with only fifteen people, seems to be in a hurry than everyone else. ”

Gu Shenwei also noticed that those people, although they were wearing merchants' robes, the posture of riding horses, the expressions on their faces, and their hard and powerful hands all proved that they were not ordinary people, "Let's do it tonight." He said.

The desert winter night was silent and cold, and ten teams together formed a large camp, divided into various places, with the Jinpeng family occupying almost half of it.

Gu Shenwei and the Dutch girl sneaked out of the tent at the third watch, and in the northeast corner of the camp, Guan Shang had been observing for half a night, and nodded at the two, indicating that everything was normal and there were no traps.

Guan Shang returned to his account, and she was not needed here for the time being.

The caravan consisted of three tents, five people sharing a tent, and the plan of the two killers was to use drugs first, and then touch them in and cut off their heads one by one.

The two did not do it immediately, but observed it for a while, which was a habit, and it turned out to be beneficial.

Fourteen men crept out of the three tents, all masked, nodding to each other, and in groups of two or three, they sneaked towards the southeast corner of the camp.

They even wanted to start tonight, and the southeast corner was the camp of the Great Snow Mountain.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl glanced at each other, they both understood the other party's thoughts, went around in a circle, outflanked the southeast corner in advance, and planned to kill them one by one when the enemy retreated.

To the surprise of the two, the target of the fourteen masked men was not the Great Snow Mountain, but the Four Noble Truths monks who were not far away.

The twelve monks had only two tents, and they meditated all night and didn't need much space.

The masked men left two accomplices outside each tent to watch the wind, and the others swarmed in, which was an unskilled assassination method, which was very effective against ordinary people, but in the face of twelve monks with strong martial arts, it was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

The battle lasted only a short time, and the masked men were defeated, rushed out of their tents, and fled in all directions.

The people in the surrounding tents were awakened and ran out, and the camp was immediately in chaos, which provided better cover for the masked people.

The middle-aged monk Lian Qing appeared and said loudly: "A group of small people with bad intentions have been repulsed, and there are no casualties, you don't have to worry." ”

Everyone knows that this is a desert with no inhabited desert, and there is a banner erected in Jinpeng Castle, there will be no foreign robbers, and it must be the people in the team who attack the monk, but the monk does not want to pursue it, and the others will naturally not ask for trouble.

As soon as the battle in the monk's tent began, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl withdrew to the northeast corner of the camp and continued to lurk, and after waiting for about half an hour, the fleeing masked men returned one after another, gathered in the tent and whispered.

"I didn't expect the monk to be so powerful. ”

"What should I do? Why don't you withdraw, it's just a day's journey. ”

"But we collected the money, but we couldn't get anything, how can we explain when we go back. ”

"Wait, we're too anxious, there's no one to mess with in this camp, Jinpeng Castle, Dragon King, Monk, Zhuang Qiang, when he starts to move each other, let's wait for the opportunity to pick up the cheapest." ”

"Yes, that's a good trick, we don't need to do it. ”

......

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl gave up the murder plan and returned to their tent, where the customs merchant waited and reported the situation in a low voice, "Two groups of people came to peep in the middle of the night, probably because they found no one in the tent and withdrew. ”

Gu Shenwei said: "I know that Jinpeng Fort is looking for someone to kill me, that Zhuang Qiang, there is a younger brother named Zhuang Heng, who was killed by me." ”

Zhuang Heng, the "Protector Sword God", was the leader of a small group of robbers who died more than two years ago under Gu Shenwei's sword.

Zhuang Qiang is the leader of another group of robbers, after the death of his younger brother, he once publicly declared that he wanted to find the killer Yang Huan for revenge, but he never showed up, and after Gu Shenwei became the Dragon King of the Great Snow Mountain, he couldn't hear from him.

"Zhuang Qiang is not a great character, and his sword skills seem to be inferior to his younger brother. "As the imperial master of Xiaoyue Hall, the lotus girl has some understanding of the well-known figures in the Western Regions.

"That's why he waited until today, after getting support behind him, before he dared to seek revenge on me. ”

Both of them were more interested in Zhuang Qiang, but as for the entanglement between the masked men and the monks, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Early the next morning, the team continued to march, Lin Xiaoshan was ordered to listen to the news in the team, he recognized several of the swordsmen, and could speak, but after a whole day, there was no trace of Zhuang Qiang.

In the evening of that day, Shangguan Hong came to the door to ask to see him.

Shangguan Hong is running errands for the Nine Young Lords, he hates this task, but there is no room for resistance, "The Nine Young Masters want to know what the Dragon King means, and the deal he proposed is still valid." ”

"Tell him I'm still thinking about it. ”

"There is not much time left, this is what the Nine Young Master said, not me, once I arrive in the Stone Kingdom, the Dragon King has not many choices. ”

"I know. Gu Shenwei still refused to give a clear answer.

Shangguan Hong completed his task, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Dragon King, and said: "To be honest, I am very grateful to you, I told you the most important secret, you have always been tight-lipped, even when Mrs. Meng pressed the hardest, you didn't let go, it really saved my life." ”

"I've always been very tight-mouthed. ”

"Yes, and it counts, Dragon King, tell me, do you really want to kill all the people of the Shangguan family...... Including me. ”

"As long as the peace negotiation is still valid, I will not kill the people of Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Yes, but everyone knows in their hearts that the so-called peace is a disguise, the king agrees to make peace, he wants to give a good impression to the countries of the Western Regions, so that the nine young masters can marry the princess smoothly, the dragon king proposed peace, hehe, he wants to accumulate strength and launch a Jedi counterattack, I'm right. ”

"If you know, why bother. ”

"But I don't believe that you really want to kill everyone in the Shangguan family, I know that you can't do anything to some people. Shangguan Hong smiled tacitly, "I hope that I am also one of the people that the Dragon King is reluctant to start." ”

"What happened in the stone castle that made the sons of King Dubu rush to betray?"

"Nothing happened, nothing changed. Shangguan Hong looked very angry, "I'm still me, except for removing the word 'karma' from my name, Zhang Ji has worked hard for more than three years, but he hasn't lifted me up." Honestly, I'm tired of it, especially the old woman who treated me like a slave, snorted and drank, and forced me to serve her son. ”

Shangguan Hong let out a long sigh, "I don't even have a chance to be loyal, how can I talk about betrayal?" I just want to...... Find your own way out. ”

"I've always had a path here for you. Gu Shenwei's tone was flat and gentle, like a king speaking to a desperate fugitive.

Shangguan Hong's face was happy, "I am also willing to do things for the Dragon King, as a gesture, I am willing to provide a piece of information first, the Nine Young Masters plan to stop the Dragon King in the desert, and the time to do it is either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

Shangguan Hong retired, and Gu Shenwei was full of doubts in his heart.

Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong, the two sons of King Dubu, have a lot of guards around them, but they are all afraid of the Dragon King to death, and they seem to unanimously agree that this trip will be assassinated, and they sue for peace, almost to the point of humiliation, something is wrong in the middle.

Gu Shenwei never intended to use assassination in the process of fighting for the princess, and the facts were in front of him, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to break the armistice agreement.

The fear of the two children of the Shangguan family was therefore even more unfounded.

The information revealed by Shangguan Hong in the end was useful, and early the next morning, the group of Daxue Mountain was really blocked.
