    An official from Prince Xiao's Mansion and several servants sent the guests out of the city. Before leaving, he said politely: "You two can actually live in the Prince's Mansion, and you don't have to travel back and forth." Su Ai greeted the guests for a few words and watched the horse ride away.  Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to tell which one is true and which one is false." It was nearly three o'clock, and there was no sound in the Huaixi Pavilion. Gu Shenwei and Su Ai once again missed everyone.  .  "Do you think Prince Xiao is not real?" Gu Shenwei had returned to his room at this time. Su Ai diligently brought the foot-washing water, stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, and placed it on the floor beside the bed.  "Originally it was fine, but the move he made when he fainted was a bit overdone. He was not worried about the emperor's assassination, but he didn't want to talk to Mr. Gu about it." Gu Shenwei understood why this young man became Shangguan Ru.  He is a capable person, he is both simple and smart, and can quickly accept new things. In just two days, he has learned to observe words and emotions and make judgments on his own.  "He succeeded. Others thought Prince Xiao and I were friends, but what he said tonight was not even 10% as good as the princess, which made me waste a lot of time. Fortunately, he didn't starve us like the princess."  Su Ai smiled, and then showed a trace of doubt, "Did Prince Xiao really participate in the conspiracy, so he deliberately concealed it?" Gu Shenwei shook his head, "It's also possible that, as he said, he wanted to stay out of the incident to avoid the trouble.  " Su Ai sighed again, "It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Brother Fan must be having a hard time these days, trying to apologize to everyone. " "Well, he's coping well." Gu Shenwei raised his feet.  Ai immediately took out a towel and wiped it clean, then left the room with a basin in hand.  "True or false." Gu Shenwei whispered to himself. He thought about how long six years was. It was exactly six years from the time he escaped from Jinpeng Fort to the time he defeated Jinpeng Fort.  It's long enough to change everything.  He put on his shoes again and practiced internal energy in the room for a while. Then he turned off the oil lamp, sat at the table and waited silently. About halfway through the third watch, he quietly left the room.  After crossing the wall, he didn't go far and climbed up the wall of another house.  He didn¡¯t jump in immediately, or even lie down on the wall. Instead, he clung to the outside of the wall with his fingers and toes, like a big gecko, with his head tilted and only one eye exposed to peek inside.  Not long after, Gu Shenwei returned to the ground.  He made a half circle around the foot of the wall and climbed up against the wall again. This time he moved slower and more cautiously. He could hardly be seen moving from a little further away.  This is the gable, and the roof is above it. Gu Shenwei, who had always been careful, made an accidental move and coughed lightly.  The originally normal roof ridge suddenly started to move, and a person raised his head.  He looked in the direction of Gu Shenwei, but did not rush over to take action.  Instead, he turned around and jumped into the courtyard, landing silently. He was a master of Qinggong.  Gu Shenwei followed this man and jumped in.  The man was knocking on the door, his voice was not loud, short and long.  The people in the house didn't seem to be asleep, so they opened the door immediately when they heard the sound.  Shang Liao lit the lamp himself.  The people living in this courtyard are all worthy of his trust. Compared with Gu Shenwei, who lives in seclusion in the valley, he looks older, but his expression is more determined, and he has not retained any of his former frail temperament.  This is the result of years of war training.  Standing at the door is Chu Nanping, his appearance is still as handsome as before, but he is more indifferent, as if he doesn't know tonight's guests at all.  "Dragon King, please take a seat." Shang Liao called "Dragon King", but he did not behave as a courtier as before.  Gu Shenwei sat opposite and said nothing. He was invited by Tie Linglong. Otherwise, he had no intention of contacting more people from the Western Regions.  "The war in the Western Region is not over yet." Shang Liao was not polite. He had never been a loyal subordinate of the Dragon King, let alone a friend. "Everyone came to the Central Plains to declare themselves a vassal and pay tribute, just to fight again after returning." "  This is exactly what Zhongyuan wants," Gu Shenwei said.  "But it is a disaster in the Western Region." "It has been six years since I left the Western Region." Gu Shenwei reminded that he left a lot of wars behind, and of course it is impossible to go back to quell the war now.  "Yes, the Western Region has been turned upside down, so it is best for the Dragon King never to go back." This is what Shang Liao wanted to say. He left the country that was not yet stable and came all the way to the Central Plains. His biggest purpose was not to meet the emperor, but to stop the Dragon King.  .  "I never thought about going back." "The Dragon King doesn't want to, but someone else does; the Dragon King doesn't want it now, but he will think about it later." Gu Shenwei already understood the other party's true intention, "Are you worried that people from the Biyu Kingdom will invite me back?  " " That's right?The purpose of their trip.  "Shang Liao's expression was too serious, as if he was exposing a big conspiracy, "The Dragon King doesn't think Shangguan Ru is still the little girl six years ago, right?  She is the smartest and most scheming woman in the Western Region. If she is not such a person, she cannot protect the Jade City.  "    "So what?  "Of course Gu Shenwei understands the cost and effort required to survive and thrive in troubled times. Shangguan Ru's transformation is natural. In Gu Shenwei's view, she has always had this potential, but she just didn't have the chance to show it. Shang Liao was silent.  After a moment, he began to tell a story: Three years ago, Zhong Heng, Shang Liao, and Dugu Xian simultaneously besieged Biyu City, which ended with Dugu Xian's unexpected surrender, so that some people suspected that the Dragon King secretly exerted influence. This is of course not true.  There was no news from the Western Regions in the Kongtong Mountain Valley, and the few words that came out were at least a year and a half behind. Shang Liao was very sure that Shangguan Ru had used his killer power in the early days of the war.  He promised that even if the city was destroyed and people were killed, he would never use the killers and green faces in Jinpeng Castle, and successfully gained the trust and respect of all parties. In fact, there were hidden killers in the three armies.  Heng was the weakest and had no assassination value. Shang Liao was protected by Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong, making it impossible for the assassins to get close. They even captured three assassins. They confessed that they were sent by Shangguan Ru personally. Only Dugu Xian was too careless.  He was held hostage by the killer, and then Fang heard that he was on the stage. Xiao used his own interests and pointed out that Dugu Xian had only two options: either die unyielding, and the army dispersed, leaving Shang Liao alone;  Given the opportunity to become king, Dugu Xian could only choose the latter. "Even now, General Dugu is surrounded by killers. He is completely scared, but he still can't be trusted.  "Shang Liao felt very sorry for his opponent. Gu Shenwei listened quietly to Shang Liao's story and said, "If it were me, I would use such methods. No one is qualified to set the rules for war.  " "I don't mean to accuse or disparage Shangguan Ru.  Shang Liao leaned forward slightly, looking a little anxious, "I just want to tell the Dragon King what kind of person she is now. In order to achieve her goal, she can do anything."  "After a pause, he added: "She is just like you and me. The Dragon King is wary of me, and he should not be careless about Shangguan Ru.  " "What does she want me to do back in the Western Regions?  For six years, even if everyone remembers me, they still hate me because I caused all the wars.  " "The Dragon King is too self-effacing. Some people hate you, but they are a minority. In fact, you are now the god of the people in the Western Regions.  According to word of mouth, the old Khan is the God of Fire, and you are the chief killer in front of his tent. You flew straight to heaven on the red-topped roc to open up territory for the old Khan. As for the soldiers who died in the war over the years,  They are the subordinates summoned away by the old Khan King and you.  " Gu Shenwei was dumbfounded. Such a legend is ridiculous, but it is not impossible. He himself used to pretend to be a ghost several times to get through the crisis. Ordinary people are still very fond of this trick. "I actually want to fight for the old Khan.  " Shang Liao smiled, "I can't help it, the old Khan King has lived a long time, and even the people from the Western Regions think highly of him.  In short, the Dragon King's influence on the Western Regions still exists. If Shangguan wants this, she will find ways to bring the Dragon King back to Biyu City, use your name to seize Tongtian Pass from the Xiaowan Kingdom, and then invade Shule and Nanbin from the west.  Xiaoyaohai, build a big empire.  "This is exactly the plan Gu Shenwei and Fang Wenzheng made back then, and it is also the dream of every king in the Western Regions. "I will not return to the Western Regions again.  "Gu Shenwei stood up. He had heard enough. Of course Shangguan Ru would have her own ideas, but Shang Liao seemed a little paranoid and naturally pushed his ambitions onto Shangguan Ru. "Dragon King guarantees?  "Shang Liao also stood up, leaning forward more obviously, "Shangguan Ru will use all means to persuade the Dragon King.  " "I will not make any guarantees to you.  Gu Shenwei's voice was a little stern, "Don't call me Dragon King anymore, and I believe that with or without my help, you are no match for Coach Shangguan."  " Shang Liao froze, with some doubts still on his face. He felt that the Dragon King had not fully understood what he meant, or that he had been confused by Shangguan Ru. Gu Zhiwei walked towards the door and said to Chu Nanping, who had been silent.  Said: "Is it okay?  " That handsome face that was so indifferent to the point of being absent-minded suddenly showed a smile, which was one-third childish and one-third laughing, as if he had been watching something interesting but holding back his laughter, "It's okay.  "His voice was much more enthusiastic than his expression. It was obvious that he had completely given up on ruthless swordsmanship, "You are a bit old.  " "I'm still young, don't let me find out next time"??.  " "I have never been good at this, Tie Linglong does it better than me.  "    "Um.  "    "Um.  " Gu Shenwei opened the door and left. Shang Liao stood behind the table, at a loss. The Dragon King who was obsessed with Shangguan Ru was easy to understand, but the Dragon King who was talking to Chu Nanping seemed like a mystery. Both of them are mysteries, Shang Liao  Liao thought to himself that he originally planned to use Chu Nanping to convince the Dragon King, but now it seems impossible. Gu Shenwei returned in secret. Shang Liao's words had little impact on him. On the contrary, Su Ai's emotion echoed in his mind again.  , ¡°True and false.  "The fourth watch has passed, the stars and the moon are dim, it is the darkest moment. Gu Shenwei, who is walking close to the wall, looks up and sees several figures jumping into the courtyard where the Biyu Kingdom envoy lives. He thought, people who like the night are not happy.  Just by myself.
