Death Sutra

Su Shi was energetic and stayed at Gu Shen for a long time. When he heard the sound of getting up, he immediately sent the washing utensils. After he was busy, he was more serious than Qin Yeming.

On the way to the city of Huma, Su Shi’s curiosity is obviously higher than yesterday. He lived in the country of Xiangji from a young age. The capital there has long been declining for many years, and most of it was occupied by vegetation. When he came to Saitama City, he was busy. The South City has been destroyed by the war, so he has never seen the real prosperity.

The Central Plains Jingcheng is located at the top of the prosperous city. It is several times larger than the Yuyu City and has a population more than ten times. Although the degree of Huatian wine is slightly less than that of the original Yucheng Nancheng, the victory is more abundant in the store and the characters are more elegant, enough to make Su Shi Dazzling.

Yesterday, he was not too embarrassed to ask. Today, from the first step of leaving the gate of the Huaixi Pavilion, the mouth has not been idle, and all the things I saw all the way are interested, the problems are endless, Gu Shenwei had to search for the intestines The answer, most of the time still have to ask for help in childhood memories.

"What do the Central Plains people wear like this, what should they do when they fight?"

“The houses here are really neat, who built them?”

"How come, except for Gu Gongzi, there are no people on the street with a knife? Are you not afraid of an attack?"

......

Gu Shen first knew what was tired of coping, and had to give the most common and simple answer frequently. "I don't know."

Su Shi is not attacked at all. Many times he ponders the answer himself. More often, he simply expresses his admiration. "The Central Plains is really a big country, and we have only walked less than half an hour. The people I saw on the road are better than many small countries in the Western Region. It’s really hard to imagine. A city can accommodate so many people. If there is a Gu Gongzi lead, I have already lost it.”

The Huma Prefecture is located on the north side. Gradually pedestrians become scarce. The houses on both sides of the road are more and more magnificent. The portal stands tall. There are at least seven or eight servants in front of the gate, sitting or standing. The coats are all neat and tidy, but they seem to be comparing each other.

Gu Shen's knife at the waist began to receive attention, even after he walked far away, there were slaves and peeping behind, until the two completely out of their own range.

“The knife is not popular in the capital.” Su Shi said that this shocked him and recalled the many Jianghu people he saw yesterday. "But it seems that no one cares about the sword. It’s strange, it’s weird."

This incident is too complicated to explain, and Gu Shenwei did not answer.

“Is the power of the princess great?” Su Shi asked, interested in the people he wanted to see today.

“It’s not that big, but the princess is very special. She is one of the most powerful people in the Central Plains.”

"Is she a martial artist, or will she lead a war, or a trick? Just like... like Shangguan, like a teacher." Su Shi first mentioned Shangguan in front of Gu Shen, and she was somewhat ashamed, like the name. Too holy. He does not deserve to be exporting.

"She will point to martial arts, but she has not been on the battlefield. As for the scheme, she is secretly conducting, and few people really understand it. Her power comes from the support of a group of old ministers who have received the favor of the previous generation of emperors, the new emperor. After the ascendant, the status was once unstable, and it was only by the help of the princess to protect the official position. Naturally, she should be grateful to her."

"The new emperor, now the emperor, allows the princess to do this?"

"When the new emperor was enthroned, he was still a child. The Queen Mother was in power. At that time, her mother-in-law was either not in Beijing or her official position was too low. Therefore, she was alone, and like the veteran, she needed help from the princess at the cost of Part of the power. But now their relationship is not so good."

Gu Shenwei said it very simply. In fact, in the information he got, there was a fierce battle between Princess Huaping and the Empress Dowager. In the meantime, there were wins and losses, which led to the death of many ministers. The final outcome was that the Pang family had mastered it. The heavy armies in the northern frontiers, the generals of the Yulin army in the capital, are more inclined to the princess, and the Chinese officials are chosen by the Chinese.

In recent years, the two sides have had nothing to do with each other. Part of the reason is that no one can suppress anyone. The more important reason is to wait for the emperor to express his position.

The weakness of the Empress Dowager is that the nephew has always been deeply sceptical by the Minister. The Pang family is not thick. He did not control the Manchu martial arts when the emperor was weak. Princess Huaping, as a pro-aunt, used the banner of the emperor’s deaf as soon as possible. Received a lot of recognition.

The emperor has grown up and is learning how to govern, but he is very cautious about not saying a word about the struggle between his mother and his aunt. In fact, many rumors have speculated that the emperor wanted to regain all power from these two women at the same time. At this time, an assassination took place in the palace, and the emperor was still alive and dead.

This is why Gu Shenwei must see Princess Huaping.

Su Shi did not know anything about it. He was only excited about seeing the Princess of the Central Plains, but he was disappointed when he entered the Hummer.

Just entering the first door, Su Shi was invited to rest in a room, Gu Shen was in the second door alone, Pang Jing was here, the two nodded each other, saved a lot of guest sets, and then continued to the third door Walk and talk to each other.

When he came to the door, Pang Jing reached out and made an extended position, leaving himself outside.

The meeting was neither formal nor casual. Princess Huaping sat in a small eccentric hall, and the left and right rows stood full of rings and attendants, leaving only a narrow passage.

Gu Shenwei walked down the passage, his narrow knife was still eye-catching, and the attendants stared at him as if they were looking at the rare birds and animals, even when they talked, they never looked away.

A waiter with a long beard suddenly came out of the crowd and stopped Gu Shenwei. This person looks majestic, like a living goddess of protection, "see the Princess of the Royal Highness, and must not carry weapons."

"The knife does not leave people, the princess must not care."

The waiter glared at him, and there was a proud and cold voice behind him. "Allow him to take the knife and stand there."

The attendant turned to salute, returned to the ranks, and looked alert. It seems that Gu Shenwei just moved forward on the toes, and he will be the first to stop.

Gu Shen looked up and the end of the passage was a large bed. Princess Huaping was sitting on it and looked back at him seriously.

This is a woman in her forties. The pampered life preserves most of her beauty and looks young. It’s just that there is no softness in the eyes. Like the long waiter, it’s as hard as a statue in a temple.

"You are the son of Gu Lun." She said that the voice is equally blunt.

"Yes."

The princess paused for a moment, probably waiting for Gu Shen to bow down and found that he stood straight, his knees were not bent, and her head was higher. I started to give a long speech.

"I agree with you, not because of the emperor's edict." The princess used this as a prelude. She is not afraid of publicity. Even in the presence of a large number of slaves, she dares to criticize the most senior woman in the Central Plains. "But because of your surname Gu is the only remaining descendant of the family."

She spread her arms a little. Immediately there was a ring to lift her up.

"Gu Lun and I are not in harmony. He forced me to vote for the most favorite and favorite girl. I spread the vicious rumors about me. Everyone said that he is a loyal loyal minister, but in my eyes, he is a vicious dog next to the emperor. Perhaps loyal, but scared away all the useful talents that want to be close to the master. Unfortunately, in the end, Gu Lun did not even get a bone reward, and the emperor fled to the Western Region and died in the hands of Hu. This is not exactly Is the common fate of all the dogs?"

The attendants nodded. "The bad dogs hurt people. They must not stay." The long waiters are obedient, and they are "bad dogs" regardless of their identity.

Several people stared at Gu Shenwei, preventing the sons of "bad dogs" from suddenly causing difficulties. They were more worried. Gu Shen was not "evil" at all. In the face of the princess’s humiliation to the undead father, she did not change her face. Some anger.

The princess also found this, so I snorted softly. "Now you are back, it is said that you want to take revenge for Gu Lun. Very good, I am the enemy of Gu Lun. I used to send messengers to the Western Region and pay for your family. The life, because I am like you, there are people who have to report."

The princess paused again, and Gu Shenwei still did not speak. The attendants on both sides began to show disdain and ridicule. The Western King Dragon King passed away from the gods. He was also a timid, facing the princess’s sarcasm and provocation. Dare to return.

"I know what you are thinking." The princess seems to decide to turn today's meeting into a one-man show. "Unfortunately, the Queen Mother can't help you. She is just using you, so that everyone in the world thinks that I am related to the assassination in the palace. Ha, she made the wrong idea, and you are the same. I have no relationship with the Western killer. My messenger used to deal with Jinpengbao in a private capacity and paid a lot of money. Of course, it seems that the money is spent now. Not worth it - the transaction is over, no connection. A group of Westerners, I want to please me, I am not qualified. You, Gu Lun's son, it is best to develop a better revenge plan, fox and tiger can be useless."

After the sentence was pronounced, the princess seemed to finish, and sat down on the couch with the support of the ring.

Gu Shenwei waited for a while and reached out to pull out the narrow knife.

His movements were not fast, but the attendants, including the attendants who kept their eyes on the guests, all took a breath of cold, and did not react immediately, until the cold-stained blade was pulled out of the sheath, and only four or five people simultaneously When they rushed up, others screamed to cheer.

Gu Shenwei waved the knife in a circle, and the action was equally unpleasant, but it passed in the place of two or three inches in front of everyone.

Instinct is stronger than loyalty, and four or five attendants rushed to stop, and they danced backwards.

Gu Shen slashed the knife to the ground, and the narrow knife entered the stone for three points and stood firm.

"The princess is in danger, but I still admire personal grievances, I admire."

Princess Huaping stood up and stood up. This time, I don’t have to worry about it. "With your knife, dare to say ‘things in danger’?”

"My knife is just a knife. It is harmless to the princess. It is a woman who is hidden and hidden. It is the deadly threat of the princess."

"You mean the Empress Dowager?"

The princess wanted to show contempt, but Gu Shenwei saw tension from it. He shook his head and said that he denied.

The hall was quiet for a while, and the attendants who had always been good at figuring out the intentions lost their stunts at this moment. There is no hint from the princess's face.

"Long beard, you are disrespectful to the guests, don't you sin?"

The long-served waiter slammed on the floor, and even three heads, there was no doubt about the sudden change of the princess. It seems that even if the princess ordered him to self-discipline, he would immediately rush to the blade of the narrow knife to wipe the neck.

Gu Shen knows that he can really talk to the princess.
