Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Gu family's old house was not far from the imperial city. Gu Shenwei vaguely remembered the location and walked slowly. Slowly, he finally felt familiar with the surrounding scenery. However, it was quite different from what he remembered. It seemed that this was a beautifully imitated but completely out of shape.  city ??of.  Su Ai whispered: "There are more people following behind." "I bet these people will disappear soon." Gu Shen tried to collect his thoughts. He was not here to express his nostalgia by revisiting his old place.  "Really?" Su Ai opened his eyes wide and almost looked back, but he forced himself to hold it back, but his stomach growled unsatisfactorily twice, and his face suddenly turned red.  The two of them had not eaten any water or rice all morning, and neither Pang Jing nor the princess thought about entertaining the guests.  "Wait a minute, there are no restaurants nearby." Gu Shenwei was already used to suffering from hunger, and he never thought about lunch.  Su Ai's face turned even redder, "I brought some dry food, Mr. Gu, would you like some?" "You are really thoughtful." Gu Shenwei was slightly surprised.  "Teacher Shangguan told me that Mr. Gu doesn't care about the trivial matters in life, so so I prepared some dry food. I guess if the princess really wants to take care of the food, she will inform her in advance." Su Ai is a smart young man.  He realized that the Central Plains aristocrats were similar to the Xiangji Kingdom aristocrats: they did not accept surprises. Visits without advance notification and banquets without invitations were both rude.  "Well, I'm a little hungry too." The scene of Shangguan Ru patiently teaching Su Ai appeared in Gu Shenwei's mind, and he couldn't help turning his head slightly to look at him. Su Ai was carefully taking out the dry food from his arms.  It was such a simple action, and he did it extremely seriously, as if he was a slave who learned to be a killer in the stone castle more than ten years ago.  The streets and alleys are gradually becoming lively. Instead of the healthy servants in front of the Shenzhai compound, there are more pedestrians and small merchants and hawkers.  Gu Shenwei remembered that in this back street, the vendors were all mobile, specializing in popular fruits and vegetables, and would close their stalls soon after noon.  If you turn another corner, you can see the old Gu house.  Su Ai bought a few pears and said happily after coming back: "Things in the capital are cheaper than those in Biyu City. I didn't expect that." Everything in Biyu City is very expensive because everyone has to spend some money to save their lives, even if  After being devastated by war, it has not completely changed.  After eating the dry food and pears, the street has come to an end.  Su Ai ran to another stall and looked at it, but didn't buy anything. He returned to Gu Shenwei and said with respect, "There are really no tracers left." Before Gu Lun was about to move to the Western Regions, he had already sent his old man  The house was for sale, Gu Shenwei vaguely remembered.  My father and my eldest brother had a fierce dispute over this matter back then - in my eldest brother's opinion, the descendants of the Gu family would return to the Central Plains sooner or later, and they should leave a place to stay in the capital.  No matter who bought this house, it was either resold or had no chance to move in, or even left anyone to take care of it. Gu Shenwei saw that the house in front of him was in dire straits.  The gates and walls are in ruins, and weeds are overgrown. It is incompatible with the bustling capital city, and it looks more like the capital of the country of Xiangji.  Su Ai held his breath and remained silent as he was asking questions.  "You stay outside." Gu Shenwei said. He pushed through the grass from a gap alone and walked into his old home. He still didn't feel much in his heart.  He had almost no impression of this place, but he had a profound memory of the manor in the Western Region and Jinpeng Castle, which he still vividly remembers now that he thinks about it.  He has really become a "Western Region native".  Because there was no one to guard it, almost all the houses in the courtyard were demolished, and no usable materials were left. As far as the eye could see, Gu's house was a wilderness.  Only a few places have not been taken over by weeds.  ?This is also the ideal place for private conversations.  Gu Shenwei turned around and saw the old bearded Luo Pingji and the unknown long-bearded man.  The disgraced servant who was lying on the ground and shivering was gone. He was still dressed in gray and his beard and hair were still disheveled.  At this time, Luo Pingji seemed like a general visiting incognito or a hidden master.  The favored attendant who showed his teeth and claws in front of the princess also disappeared. He changed into gray clothes with a long beard and stood respectfully next to Luo Pingji, truly showing the obedience that a junior should have.  "I think I owe the Dragon King a favor." Luo Pingji said, approaching step by step without any weapons. "Let me introduce, this is my nephew, Luo Qihong." "People from the Luo family don't like to owe favors?" Gu Shen  Since he had expected this meeting, and only the Luo family could dissuade the stalkers from various sects, he ignored Luo Qihong.  "It has nothing to do with the Luo family. This favor is owed by me and I will repay it." Luo Pingji had to emphasize this point. "Tell me what you want to know from me. I will tell the truth as much as possible." As an act of repaying the favor.  , Luo Pingji is not very sincere.  "Back then, you went to Biyu City on the order of the princess, and by the way, you returnedA trip to Shule Kingdom.  " "Hey, Luo Pingying said one more sentence and the Dragon King guessed it.  " When Luo Pingying recounted the grievances between the Luo family and Marshal Yang, she once mentioned that she sent someone to the Western Regions to "visit" Marshal Yang. The time roughly matched that of Luo Pingji, and Gu Shenwei guessed the truth from this. "What does the Dragon King want to know?  By the way, I heard that there is a new Dragon King now.  What does Mr. Gu want to know?  " "Marshal Yang.  ¡± ¡°Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu is more interested in Marshal Yang than a family feud?¡±  " "Because I want to hear the truth from you 'as much as possible'.  " Luo Pingying raised his head and chuckled, "Indeed, I will tell more truth about Marshal Yang. As for what to believe and what not to believe, it is up to Mr. Gu to decide.  " "Where to start?  Marshal Yang was famous in the world at that time. Mr. Gu must have heard many rumors, and there is no need for me to repeat them.  Well, let's just talk about stealing books. Luo Pingying didn't make it up to trick you on the spur of the moment. He had insisted on this suspicion more than ten years ago. When he heard that I was going to the Western Regions, he asked me to visit Marshal Yang.  " "It turned out that he guessed right. I saw with my own eyes that Marshal Yang was practicing the Shift of Heaven and Earth. After he found me, Marshal Yang was very ashamed, but he was a hero and did not kill me to silence me. Instead, he chose to die with the Jinpeng killer's knife.  Down.  Let me tell you, even if this matter is over, Marshal Yang's obsession with martial arts did not cause much damage to the Luo family after all.  But Luo Pingying was still worried about it, and always felt that Marshal Yang was stealing books for the Gu family, and the Luo family's unique skills were spread to the outside world. When Mr. Gu became famous in the Western Regions, he became even more convinced.  In fact, I have done a detailed investigation and found that although Mr. Gu's martial arts is strange, it has nothing to do with the change of the universe.  " "Luo Pingying has never liked Marshal Yang, right?  "Gu Shenwei asked. "Of course, you must have heard about Marshal Yang standing in for others to compete with the Luo family, that's right.  The defeated Luo family swordsman was Luo Pingying. He was not a hermit at that time. Later, he was too embarrassed to see others, so he hid and concentrated on practicing martial arts.  " The Luo family is not monolithic. When Luo Pingji mentioned Luo Pingying, the best martial artist of his generation, there was no respect in his tone. "Why does Luo Pingying always suspect that Marshal Yang stole the book and gave it to the Gu family?  The Gu family and Marshal Yang have not been in contact with each other for many years.  " "It is said that I have not seen it in person.  Ling Zu competed with a Luo family swordsman and lost miserably. He died of depression afterwards. Before his death, he was still unconvinced, saying that the Gu family's harmony and strength could not be weaker than the Luo family's movement of heaven and earth.  Marshal Yang was favored by his ancestor, so he vowed to steal the Luo family's secret knowledge.  Let's compare it with the Gu family's mentality.  That's it. No one can explain what happened in the early years. Luo Pingying made such a claim, and others didn't care and couldn't refute it.  " Gu Shenwei has no problem. Although Luo Pingji's words may not be credible, it does clear up a few doubts in his mind. Luo Pingji handed over his hands and prepared to leave. Finally, he said: "Luo Pingying does not represent the Luo family. He is a hermit, and he left without the order of the family owner.  Seeking revenge on you has angered many people.  It is a pity that Luo Qikang died, but the Luo family does not hate you.  But if you want to attack the princess, the Luo family and you will be sworn enemies, do you understand?  " "Then please keep an eye on the princess.  "Gu Shenwei turned around and walked out of the house. Uncle and nephew Luo Pingji looked at his back. He also disappeared into the grass and disappeared without a trace. The desolate house was still desolate. Su Ai turned his back to the gap in the courtyard wall, looked around warily, and listened.  Hearing the footsteps behind him, he immediately turned around and said, "Someone came here just now.  Then he left again.  "    "Um.  "Gu Shenwei didn't ask, he took off the narrow knife and handed it to Su Ai with the sheath, "Hold it for me for a while.  "Su Ai took the knife. His face was slightly pale. The two left the Gu family's old house, turned at the alley, and returned to the street where the vendors gathered. The vendors had almost gone, and there was only one left on the long street.  The next two people were packing their belongings. Most of the buyers here were wealthy servants from nearby mansions. They rarely came out to wander around after noon. Su Ai noticed that the streets were very clean, and there was not even a single vegetable leaf.  The old man in his fifties saw another person coming from a distance, and immediately looked expectantly. He still had a few fruits that were not in good condition and hoped to sell them. Unfortunately, these two people did not look like buyers. They were young.  The young man was still carrying a knife, but the old man did not dare to ask for customers. He lowered his head and continued to clean up the stall, intending to give the fruit to his neighbor. A few dozen steps away, at the corner of the street, there was a salesman who was still filling the basket.  Things. This person is about thirty years old. It seems that the goods have been sold out and he is not interested in potential customers. "How to sell your things?"  "Gu Shenwei just walked over and asked the price. The salesman raised his head in surprise, then turned and glanced into the basket, "Well, you can pay for one tael of silver.??Go.  "    "too expensive.  " "These are all rare things for me" Gu Shenwei took a step forward, as if to check the items in the basket. He suddenly stretched out his left hand and took it directly from the salesman's wrist. The salesman reacted very quickly, turning his hand over and taking it back.  With just one move, Gu Shenwei's hands were empty, but he didn't use his sword energy. He used his left hand to attract the salesman, and struck out with his right hand, just in time to grab the opponent's throat. Su Ai was stunned for a moment, and then he acted immediately and walked to the basket.  The salesman's vitality fell into the enemy's hands, and he punched hard with both fists, hoping to force the enemy to let go. The two fists were already attached to his body, but he had no strength at all.  Su Ai was in a panic. He had been on the battlefield and had seen blood, but in a prosperous and peaceful city, he suddenly attacked a counterfeit hawker on the street. He was unprepared for this.  The red color is gorgeous, but what scares Su Ai the most is the murderer: Gu Shenwei's calmness is in sharp contrast to the pain of the peddler, like a skilled snake charmer playing with a toothless poisonous snake.
