I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

"Where is Lord Mi Gou? I, Shen Gong Ao, am here."

Shen Gong Ao shouted again.

But inside the city wall, there were still thousands of people reciting "The Dark History of Falsehood of Ying Zhu".

"Where is Lord Mi Gou? I, Shen Gong Ao, am here."

After the third time, the recitation of thousands of people inside finally ended.

Then, Mi Gou appeared on the top of the city wall.

"Brother Ao, how are you? I am really happy to see you safe and sound." Mi Gou smiled.

Shen Gongao said: "Congratulations."

Mi Gou said: "Brother Ao, we have no other intentions. Because Shen Wuyu led the army to attack Baiguling, Zhenhai City was empty. We are worried that Yu Luosha's pirate army will come to attack, so we led the army south to help you defend the city."

Shen Gongao said: "Thank you."

Mi Gou said: "Brother Ao, come in and chat."

Shen Gongao said: "No hurry."

Mi Gou said: "Brother Ao, don't you worry about the safety of your sister-in-law and others?"

Shen Gongao said: "I'm here now, there's no rush now."

Mi Gou said: "Brother Ao, you should still worry about your grandchildren. It would be bad if something happens to them."

Shen Gongao said: "No hurry."

Mi Gou said: "Really no hurry?"

Suddenly, a torch on the corner of the city wall lit up, and a child appeared.

This... This is Shen Wuzhuo's son, Shen Gongao's eldest grandson.

The meaning was very clear. If Shen Gongao didn't come into the city to talk, they would kill the child.

Shen Gongao's face twitched, and then he continued: "No hurry!"

Suddenly...

The child was thrown down from the ten-meter-high wall.

"Ah..." The child screamed, then fell to the ground, motionless.

Instant!

The whole audience was silent.

Shen Gongao's whole body twitched violently.

Then, he slowly loosened his clenched fist and said hoarsely: "No hurry!"

Because he knew that he couldn't enter the city at this time, it was not the time yet.

At this time, no matter what happened, he would not enter the city.

Even if the other party forced him by killing hostages and relatives.

Since he, Shen Gongao, had come, it proved that he was willing to go through fire and water for his family.

But his goal was to save as many relatives as possible.

So, he couldn't let the other party control the rhythm, even if it would be very tragic.

Mi Gou looked at Shen Gongao for a long time and said with a smile: "Brother Ao, you have changed a lot after you died once."

Then...

The child who was thrown down from the city wall actually stood up on his own initiative.

After a few climbs, he actually climbed up the ten-meter-high city wall and returned to the city wall.

Everyone was stunned?

This...this is not Shen Gongao's eldest grandson?

But a martial arts master disguised as a dwarf.

It's really hard to guard against.

If Shen Gongao went over and picked him up at this time, I'm afraid he would be framed by the other party immediately.

At this time, Shen Gongao's back was completely wet.

Because, he really didn't see that it was a disguise, he really thought it was his eldest grandson.

The distance was so far, and it was so dark, under the weak torch, of course it was not clear.

But this also proved that Shen Gongao could no longer be blackmailed at this time.

So wait.

Shen Gongao sat down cross-legged on the ground directly, even closed his eyes, and fell asleep!

The thousands of cavalrymen he brought retreated a thousand meters and set up camp on the spot.

Wu Que also sat down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep!

The scene fell into silence!

………………………………………………

Shen Gongao dreamed again.

It was the same dream that he had repeated countless times.

When he was eight years old, he found a pack of wolves and rushed out fearlessly. He chased the wolves alone, but his horse was bitten to death. He was trapped in the valley surrounded by wolves.

He lit several bonfires and confronted the wolves.

He killed several wolves and was covered with scars.

Just when the danger was raging, his father Shen Gonghu came and killed all the wolves. He picked up the bloody Shen Gonghu and held him high, laughing with great pride.

Although he had this dream many times, it was still so real.

But this time, Shen Gongao did not wake up, but continued to sleep.

He even thought in his sleep.

If there had been no drastic changes in the Western Dan Khanate, what would have happened?

If his father Shen Gonghu had not left this world so quickly and could have protected him until he reached adulthood.

Then he should have grown up very healthy and complete, and would not have become a broken hero.

Then in the dream, his life flashed by like a fleeting glimpse.

What is the most important thing in a person's life?

Is it territory?

Is it wealth?

Is it the army?

Is it power?

Yes and no!

After all the fleeting glimpses, it seemed that there were only two words left in his heart.

Son, father.

As a son, he must not disappoint his parents, and he must not disappoint his ancestors.

As a father, he must not disappoint his children and grandchildren.

What is the family foundation?

Parents above, children and grandchildren below, this is the family foundation.

With these, you have everything.

Without these, even if you have more territory and more wealth, it seems meaningless.

What kind of story will his children and grandchildren tell about him in the future?

Decades later, hundreds of years later.

Isn't Shen Gong Ao the pride of the family?

Is it the pride of children and grandchildren?

…………………………………………

As time goes by.

The army of Shen Gong family gradually arrived.

After arriving at the city, they began to camp and rest in silence.

There are more and more troops under the city.

More than ten hours have passed!

Basically all the 20,000 troops of the Shen Gong family have arrived!

Trenches were dug and camps built.

Some of the troops were left on guard duty, and then most of the troops began to sleep in tents.

The troops inside the city wall no longer recited the three articles and were resting quietly.

There was no raid.

Just wait quietly for the decisive battle to happen!

…………………………………………

Around three o'clock in the morning.

Shen Gongao opened his eyes and suddenly said: "Wu Que, many people say that I am the number one master in the south. What do you think?"

Wuque said: "I don't really know."

Shen Gongao said: "I don't know either, because except for crazy people like Bai Yutang who are looking for people to compete with each other every day, who knows how powerful anyone is? In fact, I haven't fought against a top master for more than ten years. I really don't have a chance."

Wuque said: "I think that's the case. Teacher Jiumogang often has the opportunity to fight with others. But how can a prince like you compete casually?"

Shen Gong Ao said: "In fact, after the level of martial arts reaches the master level, there is basically no standard. How to measure this thing? It is impossible to measure. It's just that the results of the limited number of battles with masters were not very good."

No doubt.

Shen Gongao said: "That happened many years ago. The competition between me and the masters basically meant losing more and winning less. Once, I really lost to despair. That was really a long time ago, and we just came here The Daxia Empire has more than 200 people with no relatives, and it is really difficult to support them, and foreigners are looked down upon, so we became wandering assassins and made money by killing people. "

"At that time, my martial arts skills were quite high. Shen Laowu and Shen Liuqi were much older than me, and their martial arts skills were also very strong. The three of us took on the task, and made every move without any disadvantage, and made a lot of money." Shen Gongao said: "But you know, the business of assassins is also monopolized by others. We used to be small and had no problem, but after we became big, we invaded other people's territory. At that time, the number one assassin organization It’s Qiu Feng Tower.”

Qiufeng Tower is completely clear.

His nurse Nie Yuniang was once one of the top killers in Qiufeng Tower.

"Originally Qiufeng Tower wanted to kill us, but seeing that we were very strong and had no foundation, they wanted to recruit us." Shen Gongao said: "So, a man from Qiufeng Tower came and he told us, The three of us can use any weapon or method, and he only uses one hand, without any weapons, and is blindfolded. If we can defeat him, we will be free to do business. Otherwise... we will join. Autumn Wind Tower.”

"That man's name is Qiu Fengwu, and he is the number one killer in Qiufeng Tower. I, Shen Laowu, and Shen Liuqi used all means and weapons to attack Qiu Fengwu."

"He blindfolded his eyes, tied his right hand, and stood motionless."

"We attacked him for a whole hour without even hurting a hair on his head. The three of us were thrown out more than 600 times by one of his hands."

"Each person was thrown out more than six hundred times."

"I really don't even have the energy to resist at all."

"That person is really so powerful that it makes people despair."

"After that, I deeply felt that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."

"I can still remember that person's figure and aura. He was truly a nightmare!"

"He is Qiufeng Tower's number one killer, Qiu Fengwu!"

"Then, we joined the Qiufeng Tower. Of course, we are an organization on the periphery and have no access to the core layer."

"That was the worst loss we ever had, and after that, I lost many times in succession."

"So, I feel that this world is really insecure! Sometimes, I even think that my strength in killing wolves when I was eight years old is an illusion. I am not that powerful at all, and I even think that my father is If he had been protecting me secretly, he would have rushed out to save me when he saw that I was really in danger, but he would have died at the hands of the wolves that day. "

Wu Que said: "Then how did you get your reputation as the most domineering and invincible master in the south?"

"Rely on killing people." Shen Gongao said: "After becoming Mi's lackey, I kept fighting and killing people! It seems that only in this way can I prove that I am a strong person. So even after I became the governor of Zhengnan, I often fought in On the front line, keep killing, killing, killing!”

"In the past ten years, I have fought in twelve wars. I really don't know how many people I have killed. Not indirectly, but all with my own hands. Maybe more than ten thousand people." Shen Gongao said slowly: "But there are very few masters among them, and there are even no top masters at all."

"But for some reason, I was touted as the number one master in the south. They said I was unparalleled in dominance and invincible on the battlefield."

"But to be honest, I had a hard time fighting in the last few battles. The army of the Dali Kingdom has become stronger and stronger. Their individual combat effectiveness is very strong, but their organizational ability is insufficient and they don't cooperate well with each other."

"So I feel that I can't fight anymore and I can't be invincible on the battlefield. In the past ten years, I have fought against the weak."

"As for my achievements in martial arts, I think I am actually average, and I can't be called a top master at all. I just killed too many people, and the evil spirit on my body is very heavy, so other martial arts masters will be intimidated by my evil spirit when they see me, and think how strong my martial arts are, but I don't think I am that strong."

Wu Que smiled softly after listening.

Shen Gongao said: "Wu Que, I don't mean anything else! I'm just worried that the battle will embarrass you, so I want you to be mentally prepared. I don't want to disappoint you, but it may be true that I am not as good as my reputation. You have seen through me in the past two years, and you probably know that I am strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and I am not that strong at all."

"People are vain. Everyone brags that I am the best master in the south. Over time, I have also enjoyed this title very much. In fact, I have never really fought with top masters. Maybe I can't even beat an ordinary master. I think this is really possible. I hope you won't be too disappointed by then."

"In the early martial arts competitions, I... I really lost more than I won."

"So, I will do my best in a while, but if the result is not good, it's just my incompetence."

"But as a father, I really tried my best."

Shen Gongao, who had been silent before, suddenly became nagging like an old man, chattering non-stop.

Wuque poured a glass of wine and handed it over, saying, "Okay, I got it. Have a drink to boost your courage."

Shen Gongao took the wine and drank a glass.

Then, he asked Wuque for another glass.

He was really drinking to boost his courage.

"In fact, over the years, I haven't really faced a real big scene." Shen Gongao drank another glass of wine and said, "You see, the most intense battle was between Shen Wuzhuo and Shen Wuyu. I haven't experienced a real life-and-death moment, so last time in order to take back Hongtu Ridge, you used the name of the Dark Academy to create several shocking cases. I was really scared at the time, thinking that your behavior would drag us all into the abyss, and that if something happened, our family would be completely finished."

"Now, I'm also very scared." Shen Gongao said, "Very, very scared, I think we will be defeated, I think our family will be completely buried here, I'm worried that I can't protect you at all, and I can't protect your eldest mother. , let alone protecting my grandchildren, I am afraid that they will all die tragically in front of my eyes. "

"I think that when I was eight years old, my father must have been secretly protecting me. That was not my bravery at all. If he hadn't protected me secretly, I might have died long ago. So my glorious victory was simply fake."

Then, Shen Gongao looked over and said hoarsely: "Wu Que, I'm so scared! I'm really scared. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I will lose miserably. I'm afraid that I can't protect my family at all, I can't protect you at all, everyone in my family will die, and I have never experienced a truly dangerous test in my life."

Wu Que didn't speak, but poured a few more glasses of wine and handed them to him.

Shen Gongao drank one glass after another.

He was half drunk directly.

Wuque smiled and said, "Are you brave enough?"

Shen Gongao said, "Almost."

Then he asked, "Wuque, you won every time before, are you afraid of losing?"

Wuque said, "No, I'll be all right if I die."

Shen Gongao said again, "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of losing face in front of you. I'm afraid I can't protect you and my family."

He seemed confused and said the same sentence countless times.

Wuque said, "You can't get drunk, right?"

Shen Gongao said, "I lost so badly before, so I can't deceive myself or numb myself."

At this moment, Mi Gou shouted, "Brother Ao, I have built a house in the middle of the battlefield. Come and have a chat?"

Shen Gongao said to Wuque, "Is it time now? Should I go?"

Wuque nodded and said, "Go!"

………………………………

The 20,000 troops of the Shen Gong family camped five miles away from the city wall.

Mi Gou built a wooden house two miles away from the city wall.

It was about 300 square meters, which was considered very large. It took hundreds of people two days and two nights to build it.

With Mi Gou's order.

Dozens of warriors took Mu Hongyu, Nangong Rou, Mi Yuyi, Shen Wuzhuo's two children, and Shen Wuyu's two children into the wooden house.

Each person was chained and tied to an iron chair.

Then, Mi Gou led four people into the wooden house.

These four people!

All of them were masters.

Shen Gongao was very familiar with the figure of one of them.

It turned out to be... Qiu Fengwu!

The number one killer of Qiufeng Tower, the man who was so powerful that he despaired.

His heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

The feeling of despair in the face of the incomparably powerful thirty years ago seemed to have returned again.

Shen Gongao said: "They seem to be intimidated by my false reputation as the number one master in the south. They sent four masters, plus Mi Gou, which means five masters."

Wuque asked: "How many do you think you have beaten?"

Shen Gongao said: "I don't know. I have never fought against top players in these years."

There was one thing he said, but he still didn't say it.

The only person he had defeated was the former Nie Yuniang, but Nie Yuniang's martial arts at that time had deteriorated terribly. I haven’t practiced martial arts for more than ten years and have been feeding my children every day.

Now he feels that there is no problem with his bravery, but what about his strength? I don't dare to have any extravagant expectations.

During this period, he lost too hard.

Mi Gou said again: "Shen Gong Ao, come and have a chat!"

Wuque said: "Let's go!"

Mi Gou said: "Did you bring Shen Wuyu's body?"

Wuque said: "Bring it."

Then, several warriors came forward carrying a coffin.

What's inside is Shen Wuyu's body.

Shen Gongao lifted the coffin and walked slowly towards the big house in the middle.

That feeling was like walking into hell.

Wuque also came up.

Shen Gong Ao was surprised and said: "You, you, why are you here too?"

Then, Shen Gong Ao said: "You hurry up and stay in the army. If I die, you can command the army."

Wuque smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Shen Gong Ao said: "Do I have to have you go with me?"

Wuque said: "That's right."

Then Wuque walked in front instead.

Shen Gongao was carrying the coffin, side by side with Wuque.

that's all!

The two people, carrying a coffin, walked into the wooden house in the middle of the battlefield.

………………………………

At this time, Mu Hongyu, Nangong Rou, Mi Yuyi, and four children were all chained and tied to iron chairs.

Shen Gongao walked in coldly and expressionlessly.

He calmly placed the coffin on the ground.

At this time, there was a long table inside.

Mi Gou sat on the main seat, and four master-level experts sat on both sides.

There are delicious dishes on the table.

The five of us had a great time eating and drinking.

Mi Gou smiled and said: "Brother Ao, have you eaten? Let's have a simple meal together?"

"That's fine." Shen Gongao said.

Then, he sat down across from Mi Gou's long table.

Wu Que sat down next to him.

The two of them also picked up their chopsticks and drank and ate their food.

We were really hungry, and the two of us ate a lot without realizing it.

After Shen Gong'ao finished drinking, he said, "Do you have food? It's not good to drink on an empty stomach."

Mi Gou said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't prepare any food."

Wuque took out two pieces of cake from the package and said, "I have some cakes here, do you want to eat them?"

"Alright." Shen Gongao took a piece of cake, tore it open, dipped it in the soup, and ate it cleanly.

The two of them finished the four dishes in front of them, including the soup.

Next, two maids brought tea.

The two of them rinsed their mouths gracefully,

Wuque handed over another small thing.

"What is this?" Shen Gongao asked.

Wuque said: "Dental floss, toothpicking."

After Shen Gongao took it, he saw how Wuque used it, and he also used it and thought it was very useful.

"You are exquisite and know how to live." Shen Gongao said.

Covering it with sleeves, he finished picking his teeth gracefully, then rinsed his mouth again, and finally took the silk kerchief and wiped his mouth gracefully.

Then, he said to Mi Gou: "Thank you, Master Mi Gou, for your hospitality. Let's chat!"

He rolled up his sleeves slightly and raised his head slightly.

Mi Gou said: "Brother Ao, we said before that Shen Wuque had his body taken away and that he was a demon spirit! But he proved his innocence. We did wrongly accuse him and framed him."

Shen Gong Ao said: "So, there is no need to talk about the things I know. Let's talk about the things I don't know."

Mi Gou said: "Brother Ao, I believe you are also very curious as to why your good-for-nothing son Shen Wuque has become so outstanding and so smart, as if he is a different person. This is because he is really a different person. ”

Shen Gong Ao said: "You changed someone? If you don't want to seize the body, how can you change someone?"

Mi Gou said: "Painted skin! Someone peeled off Shen Wuque's skin and put it on his body. So the person in front of you is not your son at all, but a ghost-like person, a person who should have died. . Just wearing the skin of your son Shen Wuque."

Shen Gong Ao said: "A person who should have died? Who?"

Mi Gou said: "The only surviving son of Duke Yingzhu was captured and imprisoned by you at that time. You originally wanted to give him poison and die with dignity, but our Mi family put pressure on you and you compromised. Mi Huan went to your house , skinned him and executed him in front of everyone!”

Then, Mi Gou said slowly: "He... is Ying Que!"

Completely silent.

Mu Hongyu and others looked at Wuque in complete disbelief.

Her whole body really seemed to be struck by lightning.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Mu Hongyu said: "You are talking nonsense again, Ying Que is dead! I saw clearly at the time that Ying Que was dead."

Then, Mu Hongyu trembled towards Wuque and said: "Wuque, tell him, tell everyone, this is not true! Mi Gou is talking nonsense, you are Shen Wuque, and the real Shen Wuque is guaranteed."

Shen Gongao looked at the cup in front of him and remained motionless.

After a long while, he raised his head and said to Wuque: "I don't believe what anyone else says, I only believe what you say. Tell me, is what Mi Gou said true?"

Wu Que nodded and said, "Yes, he is right, I am Ying Que!"
