The boy stood in the corner, shivering, the world was so different from what he had imagined, he was told that life was not important, that the sword was everything, but death still terrorized him mercilessly, completely ignoring the indifference he had carefully cultivated.

"I found him in the peach forest. Chu Nanping said that people have calmed down.

The boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he trembled even more when he found that the dragon king's gaze swept towards him.

Gu Shenwei saw that the young man was missing a thumb in his right palm, and recognized that this was one of the new disciples of the proud building who competed with him the night before, there were eighteen people at that time, half of them were killed by cannibalism, and the rest were all killed by Han Wuxian and her men, but he didn't expect that one person survived.

"Have you gone to see your brother's grave?" asked Gu Shenwei.

Chu Nanping nodded quickly, he went to Wangcheng Lane to watch the battle, but the result was still a step too late, more than two hundred Tianshan Sect swordsmen were skillful, and they completed the task of killing people and setting fire in a very short time, all he could do was watch the fire engulf the dilapidated alleys he was familiar with.

Then he went to the peach forest, where his brother Chu Yangjun and another man were buried under a tree.

The tomb is still there, miraculously escaping the many melee that happened here, and the owner of the garden has not bulldozed the grave, and some people even erected a monument in front of it, which is engraved with the names of Chu Yang Jun and Ye Shilang, and the inscription shows that this is funded by the residents of Wangcheng Lane.

The boy with his severed finger crouched behind the tombstone, like an abandoned beast, too frightened to leave the place, and put his feet in the snow for a day and a night.

"Are you from the proud building?" asked Chu Nanping.

The young man nodded, although the swordsman in front of him was unfamiliar, but there was no trace of malice, his appearance was as handsome as a figure on a mural, he stood up, and without being invited, he followed Chu Nanping back to the Dragon Army stronghold.

"His name is Qin Yeming. ”

With Chu Nanping's introduction, Qin Yeming suddenly knelt down and kept kowtowing to the Dragon King, as if begging for mercy and pleading.

"You have to speak. Gu Shenwei is still observing, he has suffered the loss of children, and he will not easily believe anyone.

Qin Yeming kowtowed a few more times before he said in a hoarse voice, "I'...... I shouldn't be proud of the disciple of Lou. ”

"It's easy. Gu Shenwei turned to Chu Nanping, "How is your ruthless swordsmanship practice?"

"It's good that I don't need to use dual swords anymore...... Oh. Chu Nanping suddenly understood that the Dragon King was saying that his act of saving people was contrary to the sword intent, "What should I do?"

"Come out with me. Gu Shenwei didn't answer Chu Nanping's question, it wasn't a doubt that he could solve, "Take him with you." ”

Chu Nanping actually already had the answer in his heart, and he knew that the Dragon King's thoughts must be the same, he had to cut off the signs of sympathy that had just appeared, and the best way was to kill the young man.

The strange thing is that once he knows the name of the other party, the indifference and alienation between strangers disappear by more than half at once, Qin Yeming seems to be someone he has known for a long time, so familiar that it is difficult to start.

Qin Yeming couldn't understand the words of these two people, he was afraid of the Dragon King, so he followed Chu Nanping closely, as if he regarded it as a tombstone that had sheltered him, and the young man didn't know the relationship between the deceased in the tomb and the swordsman in front of him.

With such a nervous teenager, it became impossible to walk at night, and the three of them put on their cloaks and rode horses normally, but they were not recognized, in fact, due to the melee and the fire in the early hours of the morning, the streets and alleys of the southern city were sparsely populated, and many shops closed early.

Chu Nanping knew that he could make a move at any time, but he tried to delay as much as possible, and on a secluded road, he asked, "Does the Dragon King know that Han Wuxian has betrayed?"

Gu Shenwei nodded.

"It must have been her who led the Tianshan Sect to Wangcheng Lane. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded again, this is a sure thing, Han Wuxian believed that the lotus girl was hiding near Wangcheng Lane, this was a huge temptation for her, and if she couldn't do it herself, she would ask for help from any possible force.

"But the Dragon King let it go?" Chu Nanping was puzzled, this was not like the Dragon King he knew.

"I rescued Han Wuxian, I can't just waste it. ”

"She's still useful?"

"And useful. ”

Chu Nanping stopped talking, he never understood the Dragon King's conspiracy, and he didn't want to bother thinking about it, as long as the Dragon King didn't fully believe in Han Wuxin, he was relieved.

The three of them entered the sphere of influence of the Tianshan Sect, and it was one of the core areas, Chu Nanping threw away his worries and concentrated on guarding, he would not persuade the Dragon King to turn back, but he must not let the Dragon King have an accident under his protection.

No one could have imagined that the Dragon King would enter the enemy's territory so casually, and several groups of Tianshan Sect swordsmen walked by, without paying special attention to these three people, for them, the dark street corners and high rooftops were the places where the Dragon King should appear, and they were also the focus of their attention.

It wasn't until they approached the ruined walls to the west that someone began to feel that something was wrong.

There were originally a number of taverns inside and outside the city walls, but because the Tianshan Sect turned the famous South Wall Tavern as the main rudder, business here plummeted, and there were almost no customers at night.

Most of the Tianshan Sect's Heavenly Swordsmen were originally Jinpeng killers, but the people in charge of patrolling the streets were ordinary swordsmen, in groups of three or five.

The first to notice the strange stranger were the five swordsmen, who surrounded them, unceremoniously blocked the way, and turned around before letting them go, they didn't see their faces clearly, but they didn't have a reason to pick them off immediately.

When they turned to the alley where the South Wall Tavern was located, more than a dozen swordsmen who had already prepared surrounded the three of them, "What are you doing here?" one of them asked sharply, there were few people who dared to swagger into the helm of the Tianshan Sect, and he had to take the opportunity to fully display his majesty.

"Find someone. Gu Shenwei replied.

"Who?" Perhaps the voice of the comer was too flat, and the swordsmen were more imposing, and the question was full of threat and contempt.

"Zhang Ji. ”

More than a dozen swordsmen pulled out their knives at the same time, Zhang Ji was nominally a military advisor, and his status was higher than that of the sect master, even behind his back, everyone called him "Mr. Zhang", but this person called him by his name, which was really bold.

"Your Excellency, which way is the immortal?"

Gu Shenwei took off his hood, and Chu Nanping and Qin Yeming did so.

The swordsmen were silent, and suddenly they took a few steps back at the same time, still no one spoke, but someone ran quickly towards the tavern on the south wall.

In order to urge the horses to move on, the swordsmen gave way and followed not far away with their knives, like a pack of jackals following the male lions that had broken into their territory.

Qin Yeming finally stopped trembling, and watched in amazement as more and more swordsmen came out of the houses on both sides, all of them holding knives, even on the roof, but no one dared to approach within ten steps, and no one even dared to ask questions again.

He will remember this scene with a strong heart.

Sect Master Du gradually stood at the door of the tavern, and there were more than ten swordsmen standing side by side behind him, and it could be seen from his gloomy expression that they were the real Jinpeng killers.

"The Dragon King is here, it's really a rare guest, in the Lower Tianshan Sect Master Du Yan, welcome the Dragon King Xue Ye to visit. Du gradually said loudly with a smile.

The nearly 100 swordsmen in the entire alley were all worried in their hearts, thinking that a big melee was about to begin, and many of them were looking around, looking for the ambush of the dragon king.

No one found the ambush, just the dragon king and two retinues.

"I know you. Gu Shenwei said that this was the first time he had met the sect master of the Tianshan Sect, but it was not the first time he had dealt with Du Yan.

"I didn't expect the Dragon King to remember me Du Qi, when the blacksmith village met, the Dragon King was already extraordinary, if there is any rudeness in the next, please forgive me. ”

For a long time, Du gradually became known as "Du Qi", he was a semi-retired killer of Jinpeng Castle, and the big hood of the blacksmith village, who met the dragon king once when he was a teenager.

His master in the castle was Shangguan Chui, and the young master was defeated by Mrs. Meng, and he also lost power, until Zhang Ji took power, and he didn't get a chance to make a comeback.

"I have never forgotten your last visit on a snowy night. "Gu Shenwei's surname is very good, especially for people who have threatened him.

Du Yan's face changed suddenly, and he barely maintained a smile, "Dragon King Fu has a great life, I have always regretted that I was cowardly at that time, if I had stabbed it earlier, maybe there would not be these things today." ”

Sect Master Du gradually assassinated the Dragon King, the swordsmen in the alley were all taken aback, and then their respect for the Sect Master increased greatly, although he failed to assassinate, but he was able to survive, which is a great achievement.

They didn't know the real situation at that time, the dragon king happened to go mad, and he used all his strength to heal his injuries, and was almost paralyzed, but Du gradually hesitated, not daring to do it directly, but bewitched Nie Zeng, who was still an ignorant boy at the time, to take out the knife, and as a result, he lost a golden opportunity.

Du gradually was masked at the time, but Gu Shenwei still recognized him.

"I'm here to see Zhang Ji. Gu Shenwei said that after nearly three years, he finally confirmed that the person who wanted to assassinate him was Zhang Ji.

"Please. Du gradually let go of the door, full of jealousy for the dragon king in his heart, this is another good opportunity to kill the dragon king, but the armistice agreement is still in effect, and the only one who has the power to break the rules is not him, but the military advisor sitting inside.

Du gradually didn't know what Zhang Ji thought.

Zhang Ji was wearing a robe, his appearance was majestic, and he sat alone in an empty tavern, like the strongest master.

Gu Shenwei let Chu Nanping and Qin Yeming stay at the door, walked to the table alone, and said, "There have been great changes here. ”

"Well, it always tempts me with good wine, so I shut it down, and there isn't a drop of wine in the South Wall Tavern. Sit. ”

Gu Shenwei sat opposite Zhang Ji and looked at the weak tea that had been brewed on the table, "I thought that Mr. Zhang had resumed drinking in Beiting and his party." ”

"Only the winner is qualified to drink, I am defeated, defeated by you, and can no longer touch wine. Rollo, who has been in a hundred battles, with my assistance, actually fled in embarrassment in front of a hairy boy, and I lost all my face. ”

"I didn't see Mr. Zhang on the battlefield. ”

"Because I run faster. Zhang Ji sighed, "People are not as good as the sky, and people are not as good as the sky." ”

"But human calculations are still useful, and I came specifically to ask Mr. Zhang for advice. ”

"Say it. Zhang Ji still spoke like a teacher, as if the relationship between him and the Dragon King was still the teacher-student relationship of the year.

"I had a piece of evidence in my hand, enough to defeat an enemy, but I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Gu Shenwei felt that only Zhang Ji could help him see the conspiracy between Mrs. Meng and Wei Song.
