Death Sutra

Gu Shen arrived in Shiguo three days later than other suitors. He stayed in the desert for a whole day and spent two days dealing with the bandits. When he appeared at Shiguotun Station, many people were taken aback. Several of them are very well covered.

There are not many coagulation brains carried by the lotus woman, and they are not willing to use the heads of the six bandits. Therefore, the yin fingers are used to remove the bliss needles.

The **** is similar to the singularity of the singer, although it will not take effect immediately, but the hidden danger of the ignorance has taken root in the body, and the six thieves have to obey the command of the woman.

The newly conquered robbers are very unreliable. Gu Shenwei has been working with them for two days. He has heard a lot of information from He Sancai’s mouth, and then ordered more than a dozen relatively trustworthy bandits to contact more associates to come to Shiguo, others. Then hide in the desert and stand by.

The next day he came to Shiguo, he and other suitors came to see Yan Bao.

Yang pockets are very slippery, although he has chosen Hummer in his heart, and he has to be impeccable on the surface. He represents the king's five criteria for choice: family history, literary talent, martial arts, wealth, and character.

Everyone quickly measured their own strengths and weaknesses with others, and they raised questions and demands. Kang’s insistence that “home” should be the most important standard, and some people think that “literary talent” or “characteristics” is the core, only “martial arts”. No one mentions the "wealth", because everyone knows that among all the suitors, the martial arts does not exceed the dragon king, and the wealth is not comparable to the Jinpengbao nine masters.

However, the two men did not speak from beginning to end, letting others compete for it.

Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Fei are very clear in their hearts. It is not the prime minister who decides the Hummer, not the princess himself, nor the king of Shiguo, but the North Court and the Central Plains envoy who seem to be outside the house.

In the face of the complicated situation, Yang Bao showed his ability. He persuaded every suitor who proposed different opinions to ensure that the whole process of selection was fair and reasonable, and anyone had an opportunity.

Throughout the morning, he spent the quarrel in the slap in the face, and Yang Bao became the final winner: at the end of the battle, the five criteria for the selection of Shi Guo did not change.

At noon, the palace has a banquet and treats everyone.

The king of Shi Guo hurriedly revealed one side, did not say a few words, symbolically drank a glass of wine, and withdrew, and still presided over everything by the prime minister.

The king and Gu Shen are not the same as the two princes in memory. They are a lot older. They are already thin and weak. Now they are like a candle in the wind. They seem to fall to the ground at any time.

All the suitors lived in the station outside the city. After this meeting, the real competition began.

On the night of the same day, Gu Shen was wearing a cloak and was invited to visit the Central Plains envoy.

On the surface, the Central Plains is still a supporter of the Dragon King. Gu Shenwei does not intend to turn his face too quickly, and according to He Sancai, the person who instructed the group to rob the Dragon King is the defender of the Western Region. The special envoy is still difficult to tell.

The Central Plains special envoy named Lin, the famous monk, the military commander, and the official in the Western Region for many years, the words are full of nostalgia for the Central Plains, and only want to retire to return to the country, "I am a southerner, closed eyes, is the water town Zeguo, the boat is floating, Open your eyes again, but it is the yellow sand that blows the face. In the next life, I will not come to the Western Regions. I heard that the Dragon King is also a Central Plains person, where is his hometown? I have long remembered the name of General Gu, but unfortunately I could not see..."

Gu Shen is careful to perfunctory, he is not very good at dealing with such official figures, the heart wants to be a treasure worthy of trust, but a useful staff.

Next, Lin Biao talked about the robbers in the desert. "I don't want to do anything with my own strength. But the Dragon King is too far away. I know someone intercepted. Why didn't I say hello to me? There are not many people, and the skills are average, but it is still possible to make a look at the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei sincerely thanked Lin Daren for his concern. Naturally, the instigator of the robbers was designated as Jinpeng Fort. "The one-step king wants to get rid of me, afraid that the big country will be angry, not willing to send his own people, and encourage the robbers who do not enter the stream. I am trapped in the desert, shameless."

Lin Yiyi remarked with a few words of "shamelessness" and vowed to say: "The security of the Central Plains guarantees the Dragon King is not a false statement. If you get clear evidence, you will immediately send Jinpengbao, and the one-step Wang Wugong will be higher. The enemy is not a thousand horses!"

As a special envoy of the Central Plains, he even issued such a clear threat. Gu Shen was determined by this. Lin Biao is the confidant of the Western Regions. He certainly knows this "shameless" attack.

The two of them chatted a few more times, and Lin Biao slowly turned to the topic, and the emotions were not very optimistic. "The stone country is very important. The two major entrances to the sea, the stone country keeps one, and the stone country has to go to the sea." It’s true that the five countries are not big, but the products are rich, especially the Wushan fine iron armor in the world...”

Lin Biao tilted his body and was close to the Dragon King. "Jinpengbao’s proposal for marriage is a must, and there is support from the North Court. The five standards proposed by Yang Lanxiang are obviously beneficial to Jinpengbao. Can Longwang have a response?"

Gu Shen has prepared several plans, but I don't want to tell Lin Biao, so he also plays around the game. First, how deep the hatred of Daxueshan and Jinpengbao is. Then how important the support of the Central Plains is, in short, it is a cliché. In the end, he said: "Da Xueshan was founded, and its strength is still weak. It is separated from the sea by a thousand miles. There is no foundation here. In fact, there is no demand. The purpose of this time is not to fight for the horse, but I don’t want Jinpeng. Fortress adds wings."

Lin Biao looked down and thought, it seems a bit unexpected. "It turns out that in fact, the Dragon King is fully qualified to be a stone country. You see these suitors are princes, who is comparable to the Dragon King? Haha. However, since the Dragon King has no intention of competing with the sea Others can't be reluctant. But I think that Dragon King should launch a competitor with the same strength as Jinpengbao, and fully support him. As long as he is a Hummer, Jinpengbao naturally has nothing to do."

Gu Shen is the heart of the snow, knowing that this is the most true intention of the Central Plains envoy, and it is also one of the important reasons why the Western Region Guards dare to assassinate the Dragon King and is not afraid to undermine the Central Plains strategy.

The sword has almost no use in this infighting. Gu Shen thought for a while and said, "In fact, I have had this idea too, but I don’t know much about the Western countries. I don’t know which of these suitors. It is worthy of use. Lin Daren has been an official in the Western Region for a long time. Can you give me one or two?"

Lin Biao’s embarrassing appearance seems to be a long-term idea. “In addition to the Dragon King, it’s really hard to choose another suitor who is evenly matched with Jinpengbao.”

Gu Shenwei intentionally tempted and asked: "How about the Kang Wangzi? It is said that Kangxi has privately had a marriage contract."

The old-fashioned Lin Biao showed his true face at this festival. He didn't even think about it. He immediately vetoed the Dragon King's proposal. "It's not good, the Kangguo country is weak, and it has been under the control of Jinpengbao and Mengshi. It is likely to be at the end. The rebellion at the moment broke the plan of the Dragon King."

The two did not talk about the conclusion that night, Lin Biao claimed to understand the situation and then give specific advice to the Dragon King.

Gu Shen returned to the station and gave it to the residence of Daxueshan. First, he summoned Lin Hill and asked him about the situation.

"It has been sent to the palace, no one noticed."

Gu Shen nodded. In this marriage proposal, the most favorable weapon in his hand was probably Xu Yanwei. She was very confident in persuading the King of Shi Guo, and even very happy to see him again. "The second prince is a very good person. Gentle and considerate, hey, if I came to Shiguo with him, life would probably be very different."

Xu Yanwei never remembered the bad things of the guests. Even if the second prince sent someone to kill her, she didn't have resentment. She was just a little scared. "He won't start with me again?"

Gu Shen is to let Jiang be a maid and Guanshang as a guard to ensure that she will not have an accident.

Gu Shenwei believes that the King of Shi Guo is difficult to protect himself. He will certainly have a lot of suspicions about the sudden appearance of Xu Yanwei, and he will not dare to start.

Lin Hill seems to be a bit worried. "Dragon King, there are a lot of spoilers in the palace, which I am afraid will not be good for Mrs. Xu."

Gu Shenwei looked at Lin Xiaoshan and pondered the meaning of his sentence. Lin Xiaoshan was embarrassed by him and his face was red.

"You can rest assured that the people outside the city are all the proposeors of the country. Even if the people in the palace guess the details of Xu Yanwei, they will not dare to start with him."

Lin Hill Nono retired.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhong Heng came to visit and brought the advice of Lin Biao, the special envoy of the Central Plains. "The king of Loulan, the family is noble, the civil and military are both, the wealth of the country is huge, and the character is nothing to say. It can be the most powerful of Jinpengbao. Competitor, Lin Daren hopes that Long Wang will look for opportunities to meet him."

"Lou Lan." Gu Shen repeated the country name in a low voice.

Loulan is the country closest to the Central Plains among the Western countries. For many years, it has been a faithful spokesperson for the Central Plains. The country is thousands of miles away from the sea, surrounded by a large desert Gobi, and it is known that the news appears in the ranks of the suitors. It is an impossible miracle in itself.

Jinpengbao and Beiting Zhi are sure to win, but the Central Plains is not a response.

The Dragon King did not express his position for a long time. He was the best at the circle of the clock, but he became very direct. "I would like to ask the Dragon King, how can I go back to Lin Lin?"

"I said that I totally agree, please arrange for Lin Daren, I want to meet Prince Loulan as soon as possible."

It stands to reason that this meeting was over, and Zhong Heng did not say anything. Dong Laxi took a moment and finally said the true intention. "Is there any doubts about the Dragon King that the bandits in the desert were not instructed by Jinpengbao? ”

Zhong Heng receives a piece of money from the name of the Dragon King every month. He and the Western Region are both defending and blaming, but Gu Shenwei still cannot fully trust him. "What does Zhong Daren mean?"

Pushing the problem like this can take a long time. Zhong Heng knows that in this game, he must first prove his sincerity, so he first clarified the words. "Wei people will not let go of the Dragon King. Will not let me go, he knows who is killing the son of the wonderful son. Dragon King, if I guess it is correct, Princess Shiguo must be married, we will be devastated."
