MTL - Death Sutra-Chapter 1111 Attendant
"What do you know?" This is the first question after the princess has retired.
The hall became empty. Only one ring and one attendant were allowed to stay. The ring was kept by the princess. The waiter called "Long Beard" has returned to normal, guarding the guests with vigilance. Things never seem to have happened.
The narrow knife is still standing on the ground. Gu Shen took a step forward and broke through the boundaries set by the princess. The long beard changed slightly, but did not take action.
"I know that a maid in the palace is pregnant, it has been seven or eight months, and the birth is imminent. If the boy is born, the princess will die."
The princess seemed to want to laugh, and the face twitched a few times, and finally did not laugh. "Interesting, let's assume that what you said is true. The pregnant woman is pregnant, and the child in the stomach is naturally squatting. What threats to me?"
"I said what I know, why the princess has to cover up. If you don't believe these two people, I can kill them now."
Gu Shenwei's eyes swept toward the narrow knife, and the face of the ring and the long beard changed again, but they believed that their position in the master's mind did not panic.
Princess Hua Ping is silent, considering whether the ring and the attendant are credible or not, and then said in a slow and cold tone: "You - a natural pair with the Empress Dowager, she needs someone to set fire for her, and You have to use a knife to kill someone. You sneak back to the Central Plains to avenge your revenge. You can't wait to burn the capital into a flat land, right?"
Gu Shen took a few steps toward the right rear, and returned to the back of the narrow knife, approaching the position where the long beard stood. The long beard was like an enemy, and the fists were clenched, and the passengers were staring at the back, but they had to give way back. .
Gu Shen really did not understand what the waiter was nervous. His martial arts were very general, and there was a loyalty in the air, and he could not stop the most common killer.
"I want revenge. Not to vent my anger, unless the entire capital will stop me from revenge. Otherwise, what is the significance of burning it?"
Revenge only kills the enemy, but venting anger is killing innocent people. The princess certainly understands the difference, so she is greatly surprised. The lips were slightly open, and I waited for a while before saying: "You don't think I am an enemy? I said, I sent people to the Western Regions and paid for the killer to kill Gu."
"The princess said, so I want to meet the person who was sent to the Western Region by the princess."
“Do you still feel that there is another inside story?”
"It’s not the same thing to have a murder and a killer. I have a little doubt."
The princess hesitated. She did not expect the Dragon King to be so "commonly sensible", which was inconsistent with the information she had received in advance, and was quite different from her expectations. Before that, she never thought about the possibility of reconciliation with the Dragon King, but now it has become a choice.
"Bring the old beard." The princess ordered that she seemed to nickname all the servants. And two people are related to the beard.
Gu Shenwei thought for a moment that most of the group of attendants who had just evacuated had different styles of whiskers. It seems that this is the princess's personal preference.
The long beard should be, before the departure, he glanced at the guest with a very disgusting gaze, as if he had taken away his own favor, Gu Shen saw the twisted face from the knife.
The long beard conveyed the command of the princess at the door, and he quickly returned to his position and continued to monitor the guests.
The hostility of the princess has been greatly reduced. Gu Shen’s request to see the messenger of the year broke the strongest line of defense in her heart. “So, do you believe that another victim in the palace is your own?”
"Unfortunately, I have no evidence."
"No one has any evidence. The Empress Dowager blocked the entire palace, but this is a clear fact: a group of killers. Unexpectedly mixed into the palace, this act alone is enough to shock the world, it is impossible to just kill the Xiao Wang Shizi, He is not worthy."
"The trouble is that the emperor has never had a son. If the death is announced at this time, the world will be in chaos and the kings will be arguing. The Pang family will lose power. But a palace lady is pregnant, she is the hope of the Pang family. If she gives birth to a boy, she will It is the new emperor, and the Empress Dowager will once again gain the power to listen to politics. Today, the Pang family is not more than a decade ago. The forces are strong and well prepared, and no one can compete with them."
Gu Shenwei’s words are about the princess’s heart. “Hey, Dragon King hasn’t seen the Empress Dowager yet, but she knows her heart, then let me talk about my thoughts.”
"The princess also does not want to announce the death at this time, because the disputes between the kings are also a threat to your status. Looking at the royal lords, there are three kings with the most powerful forces, and they are qualified to inherit the Datong. None of them are princesses."
The princess smiled, happy and empty, and then she said to the bearded waiter: "This is the Western Regions, what is said, it seems that the Central Plains court is a mountain, several forces occupy the mountain as the king, you have to fight for you to die."
"The people of Fanbang, the nature is short, and the highness of the temple does not have to be placed on the heart." Long beard said.
"Oh, even the untouchables that the Queen Mother wants to use are more useful than your size beards."
"You can't worry about your highness, and you will die for the sin." The long beard is like a magical mirror that always shows what the princess wants to see.
At this time, someone was informed that the old beard had arrived.
The old beard is actually not too old. It is similar to the age of the princess. It is just an expression of anxiety. It must be lost and taken care of. The whole person looks very embarrassed, especially his clothes. All the attendants are purple clothes. Only he is gray, and he is more and more invisible.
He apparently had not been favored. He ran to the middle in a small step, hurriedly squatted, his hands on the ground, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. He said excitedly: "The old beard sees His Royal Highness and is called to be called..."
"Shut up." The princess ordered coldly, perhaps because of the influence of "Westerners," she was more direct than usual.
The old beard didn't scream, his eyelids lifted up, and there was a sharp knife on the ground outside the steps. He was stunned and his back shook like a dog.
"Tell me what you did in the Western Regions." The princess ordered, his eyes stopped on Gu Shen's face.
"The old beard is guilty, the old beard is damn..."
The long beard standing on one side accurately grasped the princess's intentions and screamed: "His Royal Highness did not let you say these nonsense, and the unfaithful things you made in the Western Regions can be truthfully confessed."
"Yes." The old beard's forehead squatted on the cold ground, squeaking, and then he stood up slightly, and said with a trembling voice: "Like the confession I made to the princess a few years ago, I was ordered to go. In the Western Region, Yuyu City, with gold and two thousand hired Jinpeng killer to eradicate Gu’s family of six. I, I failed the trust of His Royal Highness, and deducted one thousand two gold...”
"Speaking Jinpengbao." The princess interrupted the confession. The area of one thousand two gold is not her concern.
"Yes, I contacted Jinpengbao through Beicheng Mengshi, but they did not immediately pick up the business, let me wait for the letter, I thought that the money was not enough. But the Meng family told me that Jinpengbao is not everyone kills, Gu Lun is a retired official of the Central Plains, they are not willing to touch hands. So I want to stay in Saitama City for a few more days, and wait for the Central Plains governor to take up the post, things can be solved. I did not expect Jinpengbao to inform me of the commission after two days. It’s business. I, I’m very confused, I’ve been asking about the reasons everywhere, only to know that the strict and strict waiters in the palace have sent people, that is why Jinpengbao changed his mind.”
"How did you say to your Highness after you returned to Beijing that year?" The long beard served as the interrogator.
"I, I said that the mission was successfully completed, concealing the matter of strictly serving the people and committing the crime of taking the lead."
Although he has already made confessions, the old beard is still sweating.
"Are you satisfied?" asked the princess. She doesn't have any name for Gu Shenwei, and she only calls "you" from beginning to end.
Gu Shenwei went to the left side of the old beard and asked: "Are you a child of Luojiazhuang in Hedong?"
The old beard looked up in surprise and he lost power in front of the princess, so he couldn't know who the guest was today, and he didn't know if he should answer the question.
"To tell the truth." The long beard replied, a little reluctant.
"Yes." The long beard used this as a princess and immediately lowered his head. "My surname is Luo, called Luo Pingji, Luo Jiazhuo Luo Pinuo is my brother..."
"Luo Pingying?" Gu Shenwei asked suddenly.
The old beard Luo Pingji was shocked again. He looked up again and finally guessed the identity of the guest. "You, you are the Western King Dragon King, Gu Lun's son?"
The princess leaned forward. Interest has increased greatly. "Who is Luo Pingying? I have never heard of it."
The person answering the question is not the old beard Luo Pingji, but a long beard. "Luo Pingying is a Luo Jia hidden guest. He has practiced retreats all the year round and rarely walks around, that is, the Luo family does not know him."
Gu Shenwei understands one thing. There are many people named Luo on the side of the princess. The Luo family who is legendary and "excellent" is probably the long beard.
The princess waved and gestured to Gu Shenwei to continue to ask.
"The rivers and lakes rumored that Luo Pingying martial arts is very good." Gu Shenwei said that without asking questions, he saw a trace of ease from the eyes of the long beard.
Luojiazhuang and the princess walked very close, but not yet close to the extent of publicity.
"This is what I want to know." Gu Shen pulled up the narrow knife and took back the sheath. "Half hour has passed, I will leave."
The princess was originally given only to Gu Shen to meet for half an hour. At this time, she was surprised. "What is the relationship between these old past events and the palace assassination?"
"I can't tell you anything." Gu Shen turned and walked out of the hall.
The figure of the guest has just disappeared, and the long beard immediately stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness, the Dragon King is very dangerous. The Locke is willing to remove the bane for His Royal Highness."
The princess did not hear the attendant, sat there motionless, and then whispered to himself: "He wants revenge, but he does not argue for his father Gu Lun - he wants to kill me, whether or not I send people to hire a killer, He will kill me."
Gu Shenwei and Su Shi left the Huma House, Pang Jing sent to the gate, no expression, as if he was only a slave in the house.
"Tomorrow, I want to see the stern guardian." Gu Shen made a request.
"Yan Zheng is not a member of the ancestral hall. I am not able to control him."
"You can persuade the princess, naturally, you can talk about it." Gu Shen turned around and began to consider Xiao Wang's dinner tonight. After walking down the steps, he said to Su Shi: "Gu Jia's old house is not far from here. Interested to see?"
Su Shi nodded again and again, he was eager to understand everything about the Dragon King.
