Chapter 148: Hall Master

Shangguan Chui's death brought a series of repercussions.

The second young lord Shangguan Tian was urgently recalled to Shibao, instead of the eldest brother to assist his father, he was originally a member of Mrs. Meng's faction, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to meet the "mother", and let his wife pass the word on his behalf, he had no intention of snatching the king's title.

In order to appease the emotions of these sons, King Dubu deliberately increased the killers and swordsmen under the three of them, and sent them to Beiting and Shule respectively, and begged the kings of the two countries to protect their safety.

The other young masters once again lost their sincerity to Mrs. Meng, and even the eighth young grandmother Luo Ningcha had to apologize to her mother-in-law and admit her mistakes, admitting that she was nosy and misunderstood her mother-in-law's kindness, she finally didn't offer Huan slave, but summoned him afterwards and lost her temper.

Gu Shenwei had to carefully persuade the young lady to understand that Mrs. Meng was only using Shangguan Hong's mother and son, and had no true intentions, and the Yang family knew best in her heart, she would thank the young lady for her help at that time, and now her mother is still good for the young lady by virtue of her son, Yunyun.

On the day of the massacre, the twins' knife ceremony went on as usual, and Shangguan Ru followed his brother to officially enter the Six Killings Hall for the first time and offered sacrifices to the ancestors.

Even if Mrs. Meng won a complete victory, Shangguan Ru still did not get the title of "Young Master", although the Great Wilderness Gate was basically extinct, the war with Xiaoyuetang was still going on, and King Dubu did not want to give the outside world an excuse at this time.

A total of twenty brown belt killers obtained the red belt and became official killers, plus the Huan slave who left the division in advance, a total of twenty-one people, one more person than the original plan is the lotus girl, as Gu Shenwei expected, the lotus girl made a great contribution at the last moment, was appreciated by Mrs. Meng, and won the killer spot.

When assigning killers, Shangguan took the lead everywhere as usual, and wanted to take away the ten best killers, Huan Nu, Lotus Girl, Mustang and Liuhua were all included, and Shangguan Fei left eleven, only in terms of quantity.

On the seventh day after the twins' ceremony, another death ceremony was held in Jinpeng Castle, which was witnessed by almost all the killers who remained in the fort, and many of the young killers even saw the true face of the king for the first time.

Dubu Wang disappeared in the struggle between his wife and son, secretly causing a lot of suspicion, and this time the public just suppressed a lot of discussions, but still no one knows how Mrs. Meng obtained the full support of the king, and actually got the Jinpeng seal and the six killing knives.

There were eleven killers under Shangguan Chui, one holding the head, ten carrying the corpse, sending the master to the cliff of death, placing it on the firewood pile that had been placed, forming a circle, kneeling on the ground, someone threw a torch over, and the firewood set up a raging fire.

The eleven killers repeatedly recited the scriptures of the afterlife, "The soul is born for nine days, and the soul is born into the nine abysses." The living are miserable, but the dead are safe. ”

There were hundreds of killers standing near the cliff, black and overwhelming, and they also chanted in a whisper, and their voices gathered like a solemn and slow lament.

The cremation of the bodies was complete, and the firewood and bones were thrown off the cliffs.

Eleven killers drew their narrow knives, broke them with force, and threw them away along with their scabbards, and then the other eleven killers walked over, cut off their heads, and threw them off the cliff as well, and the ritual ended.

Gu Shenwei stood in the crowd, looking at the Dubu King with a blank expression from a distance, eager to turn into a small worm and fly into the heart of the king, to see what this mighty man from the Western Regions was thinking, he really killed his own brother for the king's title, and really didn't care about the death of his eldest son?

Shangguan Hong, who had obtained a new identity, stood behind Shangguan Fa, squirming and uneasy, he was a few years older than the twins, but he had to wait for a while to obtain the title of "Young Master", even so, he was full of trepidation and did not have any confidence in his new status.

Gu Shenwei thought to himself, Shangguan Hong would never be the son that Dubu King liked, so he might be able to save his life.

An infighting in the Shangguan family was soon forgotten by everyone, and those who did not forget had to force themselves to lose their memory, and everything went according to plan, as if there had not been a drop of blood in the stone castle.

The day after the death ceremony, Shangguan Ru summoned his ten killers for the first time in Kunhua Academy.

In addition to not having the title of "Young Master", this small organization is exactly the same as Shangguan Fei, Shangguan Yushi was appointed as a "military advisor", this is the title selected by Shangguan Ru, there is no stone castle, Yu Gongzi stood beside Shi Gongzi with a knife, dressed in capable men's clothes, looking at her serious and cold expression, she will never wear back to women's clothes for the rest of her life, and she will never get married.

The killer is the core personnel around the young master, but not all, usually to recruit more swordsmen in Biyu City and establish a peripheral organization, this task fell on Huan Nu, for this reason, he got the nominal position of the master of the outer hall, which is also the name that Shangguan Ru came up with temporarily.

In fact, there were already signs of everything, when the Ten Dragons Gang was assassinated, Gu Shenwei was designated to be the bottom probe, he entered the city the most times, and learned the most from Tie Hanfeng, it seems that someone made arrangements a year ago.

Gu Shenwei couldn't help but doubt Shangguan Yushi, because in this way, he was separated from the tenth prince, which was exactly what she wanted.

In fact, this is also in line with Gu Shenwei's intentions, the struggle between Shangguan Chui and Mrs. Meng made him understand one thing, a person with high martial arts skills is not necessarily a strong party, and a woman who has no power to tie the chicken can still hold the power to win people's hearts.

Sooner or later, Gu Shenwei will openly break with Jinpeng Castle, he can't fight against the biggest killer organization in the world alone, so he has to start building up his power now.

This kind of thing naturally can't be done publicly, but it is a great opportunity to form a team of swordsmen for the tenth prince.

It seems that in order to test Huan Nu's ability, Shangguan Yushi only sent him into the city alone, although there are people in the city to answer, all the responsibility is on him.

Gu Shenwei went down the mountain with a knife and a sword, holding the killer's "absolute" waist card in his arms.

He first went to Nancheng to find a person named Liu Crooked, and waited for a day before someone sent his sword left at the north gate to Nancheng, and the aura of the "Outer Hall Master" failed to shine outside Jinpeng Castle.

Liu's crooked mouth is not crooked at all, he is in his thirties, and he can even be called handsome, but his eyes are wrong, he always squints one eye, as if he is glancing at people anytime and anywhere.

Liu crooked his mouth was more interested in the infighting that had just subsided in the stone castle, and kept teasing the young hall master, hoping that he could say a few more words, and only after failing did he reluctantly introduce the relevant situation.

To form a team of swordsmen, you must first have money, and swordsmen draw their swords for money, and the better the swordsmen, the higher the reward. This is not a problem, Gu Shenwei received a note, he could go to a casino and withdraw 20,000 taels of silver, enough to spend for a while, according to Liu's crooked estimate, this money is enough to recruit fifty to a hundred swordsmen.

Secondly, you have to have a vision, there are groups of swordsmen in Nancheng, you can drag one out of the mud ditch on the side of the road, good swordsmen and ordinary swordsmen will not be written on their faces, whether the money spent is worth it depends on the ability of the recruiter, although Liu crooked his mouth did not say it, but revealed obvious doubts.

Indeed, Gu Shenwei was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and the things he did in the castle had never been heard of by outsiders, and although the Brown Belt Killer caused a storm in Nancheng, he was now almost forgotten.

In the end, there must be a house to support these swordsmen, and there is no shortage of accounts, documents, slaves, etc.

Gu Shenwei remembered that Zhang Ji once said that these things were originally handled by the young master himself, in order to exercise his leadership ability, and then gradually reduced to a form and handed over to his subordinates.

Therefore, Gu Shenwei did not dislike the cumbersome things at all, and spent three full days asking Liu to accompany him to withdraw the silver taels, rent a house to find a servant, and complete all the chores except hiring a knife guest in advance.

The house is located in the southwest of Nancheng, not far from the South Wall Tavern and Liuren Lane, with three entrances inside and outside, dozens of rooms, the location is hidden, and it is easy to defend.

Liu Crooked Mouth naturally became a housekeeper, this is an opportunity he has been fighting for for a long time, but depending on what he means, if he can do things for the ninth prince Shangguan Fei, he will be even happier.

Next, Gu Shenwei still didn't hire a swordsman, he had to do a few personal things first.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of entering the city, Gu Shenwei brought a sword and a sword, rode a horse to Liuren Lane, and came to see the Xu family sisters and brothers.

Xu Xiaoyi's expression after opening the door was very embarrassed, Gu Shenwei didn't say anything, walked into the building, and asked Xu Xiaoyi to call her sister down.

Xu Yanwei was sleeping, and was very unhappy when he was woken up by his younger brother, and he was even more unhappy when he heard that it was "Uncle Huan" who came, and he walked out of the bedroom for a long time and stood upstairs, "Yo, isn't this my master? ”

Xu Xiaoyi's expression was even more embarrassed, and he squeaked for a long time before he said, "It's the shopkeeper Lu of the South Wall Tavern, Brother Huan, you know, as soon as Master Tie dies, his business will all belong to the shopkeeper Lu." ”

Gu Shenwei's purpose here was to find out who Master's inheritance belonged to, so he nodded, "Follow me." ”

"What are you doing?" Xu Xiaoyi asked with wide eyes.

"Take the money back. ”

"This, this...... I can't help. ”

Gu Shenwei clenched the handle of the knife, and Xu Xiaoyi immediately changed his words, "Yes, yes, how can you let Brother Huan go alone, you are a killer now, you have to have a servant, right?"

Xu Yan upstairs snorted slightly, "If my brother is missing a piece of meat......"

Gu Shenwei raised his head and said lightly, "No matter how many pieces your brother is divided into, I will bring it back without falling to the ground." ”

Xu Yanwei's face changed, he stomped back to the room, and didn't come out again.

Xu Xiaoyi persuaded: "She is like that, a prostitute, whoever is the son of Allah will please whom." Uh, you can't use the knife, Shopkeeper Lu is also from Jinpeng Castle, you are a family. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't answer, he had to thank Master Tie Hanfeng, it was that cripple who took him to understand Nancheng and got acquainted with many large and small covers, so he knew that the shopkeeper Lu of the South Wall Tavern was not a person from Jinpeng Castle, he owned a tavern and an underground bank, and paid money to Jinpeng Fort and Meng Shi at the same time every month, which was a pure business dealing.

Gu Shenwei wanted to get back the money of the Xu sisters and brothers, this was his brothel, and he also wanted to get back Tie Hanfeng's money, which was snatched back by the master and apprentice together, which was enough to hundreds of thousands of taels, which could almost be used to form a small army.
