Gu Shenwei has established the leading position among the Killer(s) apprentices once again: He has become schoolmates the first person who gets the business outside the fort independently. 顾慎为又一次在杀手学徒们当中确立了领先地位:他成了同学们当中第一个在堡外独立揽到生意的人。 He had assassinated the long face man, but nobody knows, moreover does not calculate that his assassination plan, he is only a blade in master hand. 他曾经暗杀过马脸男人,可没什么人知道,而且也不算他的暗杀计划,他只是师父手中的一把刀而已。 Matter that the apprentices do not care about Prince Shi Guo, does not care by killing martial arts is been mean, what everybody is curious, has only entered Servant Huan of two city, how under not having the help of master, making the business visit. 学徒们不关心石国王子的事,也不在意被杀者武功低微,大家好奇的是,只进过两次城的欢奴,是如何在没有师父的帮助下,让生意上门的。 Confinement that ten days, always have ripe are somebody's turn the entrance with not the ripe apprentice secretly, after showing good will, immediately are away from the shutter to ask this issue. 禁闭的那十天,总有熟与不熟的学徒偷偷挨到门口,示好之后立刻隔着门板提出这个问题。 Gu Shenwei told the facts each time, was the business looks for him, was not he found the business, Xu Xiaoyi was an eyewitness who he let off, and so on. 顾慎为每次都是实话实说,是生意找上他,不是他找到生意,许小益是他放过的一名目击者,云云。 But the rumor is more and more strange, finally Servant Huan just like has become in the south city method widespread know-it-all, how regardless of he explained, the apprentices believe in firmly, when some people must descend the mountain to enter a city with the master, must look for Servant Huan, hopes that he can introduce „business”, the price is unimportant, only wants to gain an experience. 但传言还是越来越离奇,最后欢奴俨然成了在南城门路广泛的万事通,无论他本人如何解释,学徒们对此深信不疑,每当有人要跟着师父下山进城时,总要来找欢奴,希望他能介绍一桩“生意”,价钱不重要,只想赚点经验。 After Gu Shenwei rejects several people one after another, the matter is subsides. 在顾慎为接连拒绝十几个人之后,事情才算平息下来。 Confinement last day, He Nu visits, comes with another two apprentices together, but the two left quickly, left behind two people to separate the gate to speak a conversation alone. 禁闭最后一天,荷女过来探望,是与另外两名学徒一起来的,不过那两人很快就离开了,留下两人隔门单独说了一会话。 Gu Shenwei observes several months ago agreements, to the condition all conveyed Doctor Sun diagnosis, wants to cure Qi Deviation to have two roads: Believing in Buddhism goes to Four Truths Temple to look to exorcism Scripture, does not believe goes to Land of Fragrance outside five thousand li (500 km) to look for the different gentleman. 顾慎为遵守几个月以前的协定,将孙神医对病情的诊断全都转达,想治好走火入魔只有两条路:信佛的去四谛伽蓝看驱魔经文,不信的去五千里以外的香积之国找异士。 It looks like in Gu Shenwei, these two roads all are fabricated, He Nu has not expressed the opinion, she cannot long time stop over, therefore succinctly told him simply another important matter. 在顾慎为看来,这两条路皆是虚妄,荷女没有发表意见,她不能长时间逗留,所以简单扼要地告诉他另一件重要的事情。 „We found Shangguan Yu to be popular back pulling strings.” “我们找到上官雨兴背后的指使者了。” Shangguan Yu was popular once continuously long time tracked Servant Huan, the original plan made an apprentice expert try to kill Servant Huan in the moon/month, finally two people actually under the giant stone cliff died of withstand/top Great Peng to gasp for breath red, from this initiated a series of assassinations. 上官雨兴曾经连续多日跟踪欢奴,原打算让一名学徒高手在月试中杀死欢奴,结果两人却在巨石崖死于红顶大鹏喙下,由此引发一系列的暗杀。 „Who?” “谁？” Gu Shenwei recognized at first when pulling strings is not Shangguan Yu is tea, finally actually showed that is wrong. 顾慎为最初认定指使者不是上官雨时就是罗宁茶,最后却都证明是错误的。 „Whiterobe Academy any person, surnamed Guo, perhaps you have the impression.” “白衣院的什么人,姓郭,或许你有印象。” „Mr. Guo?” “郭先生？” Gu Shenwei is amazed and bewildered, he has seen only with Mr. Guo twice, first time in washing the underground punishment room in heart institute, it is estimated that Mr. Guo will not remember him, the second time is Shangguan Ru steals the black jade palm, was stopped up by Mr. Guo in the room, but Gu Shenwei is only the master behind young personal servant, even has not started talking, how can Mr. Guo want him dead? 顾慎为即惊诧又莫明其妙,他跟郭先生只见过两次,第一次是在洗心院的地下刑室里,估计郭先生根本不会记得他,第二次是上官如盗窃墨玉手掌,被郭先生堵在屋里,不过顾慎为只是主人身后的一个小跟班,甚至没开口说过话,何以郭先生会要他死？ „Wild Horse confirmed that he listened to Shangguan Yu to be popular has boasted, said that Whiterobe Academy kills an apprentice twisting an ant is easier.” “野马已经证实了,他曾经听上官雨兴吹嘘过,说白衣院杀一名学徒比捻死一只蚂蚁还容易。” He Nu can contact with once enemy, Gu Shenwei was not accidental, now he thinks is Mr. Guo, this unexpected enemy. 荷女能联系上曾经的对头,顾慎为对此已经不意外了,他现在想的都是郭先生,这位意想不到的敌人。 „Heard that you must be delivered to Whiterobe Academy, careful.” “听说你就要被送到白衣院了,小心点。” After He Nu leaves behind the reminder leaves, Gu Shenwei analyzes repeatedly, does not understand that intention of Mr. Guo, properly speaking he does not like when should be Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yu is right, by his status, as if not need to go through the complications greatly seeks revenge to a Killer(s) apprentice. 荷女留下提醒之后离开,顾慎为反复分析,还是不明白郭先生的用意,按理说他不喜欢的应该是上官如、上官雨时才对,以他的身份地位,似乎没必要大费周折地向一名杀手学徒寻仇。 That evening, the Gu Shenwei conclusion confinement returned to residence, next day must go to Whiterobe Academy to act as the janitor, he must seek the explanation to master Tie Hanfeng. 当天傍晚,顾慎为结束禁闭回到住所,第二天就要去白衣院充当杂役,他只得向师父铁寒锋寻求解释。 Among the priest and disciple still saved the solid ice and suspicion, but was no longer life and death. 师徒二人之间仍存坚冰与怀疑,但已不再是非要你死我活了。 Tie Hanfeng listens to narration of apprentice silently, has not given the reply immediately, but goes out at the same night, transferred the revolutions in Dongbao, visits several acquaintances, comes back until the midnight. He listened to the apprentice to say has robbed the process of blade for Xue Niang, have several at heart approximately, after obtaining some necessary information, the puzzle in his brain was complete. 铁寒锋默默听完徒弟的讲述,没有马上给出回答,而是连夜出门,在东堡转了转,拜访几位熟人,直到半夜才回来。他已经听徒弟讲过替雪娘盗刀的经过,心里大致有数,在获得一些必要的信息之后,他脑中的拼图完整了。 Tie Hanfeng explained the simplest part, „Mr. Guo has not begun personally, not because of face, because the Killer(s) private war is the grave offense, he can only through another apprentice, try to kill you in the moon/month publicly.” 铁寒锋解释了最简单的一部分,“郭先生没有亲自动手,不是因为面子,而是因为杀手私斗乃是重罪,他只能通过另一名学徒,在月试中公开杀死你。” Sees the apprentice puzzled expression, Tie Hanfeng adds, „still remembers that I had told you matter of lesson dog, must make the dog vicious, since childhood makes them tear and bite mutually, is good to eliminate small and weak, when eliminated to finish, must set up a custom set of halter. The Killer(s) apprentice is the puppy, can kill in the range of permission, when selected the outstanding person, must set up a custom set of halter. Therefore, Mr. Guo will not start to you directly, in turn, you cannot start to him, in this masonry, the person who you can kill only publicly is I, can rob the red waistband and number and route plate of master, can be a glory. Ha, you can then attempt.” 看到徒弟不解的表情,铁寒锋补充道,“还记得我跟你说过的训狗的事吧,要让狗凶狠,就得从小让它们互相撕咬,好淘汰弱小者,等到淘汰结束,必须立规矩套笼头。杀手学徒是小狗,可以在许可的范围内杀来杀去,等到选出佼佼者了,也得立规矩套笼头。所以,郭先生不会对你直接下手的,反过来,你也不能对他下手,在这座石堡里,你唯一可以公开杀死的人就是我,能抢走师父的红腰带和腰牌,会是一种荣耀。哈,你可以接着尝试。” Gu Shenwei does not want to attempt, he knows oneself and disparity of master was much big. 顾慎为不想尝试,他已经知道自己与师父的差距有多大了。 „Why does not like you as for him, I also knew , because that handle wooden blade, Mr. Guo has been staring at the black jade palm at that time, finally brings a handle fake wooden blade, you make him lose face in front of Wang Zhu, no wonder he must kill people.” “至于他为什么不喜欢你,我也知道了,是因为那柄木刀,郭先生当时一直盯着墨玉手掌,结果却带回去一柄假木刀,你让他在王主面前丢脸,怪不得他要杀人。” Gu Shenwei understood finally the origin of enemy, he guesses Shangguan Nu arranged certainly to Wang Zhu the story, to explain that six killed the palace wooden blade by the matter of disjunction, in this story, Eight Young Master will definitely not speak the word of praise for Mr. Guo. 顾慎为终于明白了敌人的来历,他猜上官怒一定向王主编个了故事,以解释六杀殿木刀被折断之事,在这个故事里,八少主肯定不会为郭先生说好话。 Whiterobe Academy situated in Dongbao northmost, is actually not part of Dongbao, it has independent house pavilion, is divided into 36, governs the different lines of business, the Whiterobe Academy structure is complex, among various little has the subordination relations, various chieftains are called „sovereign”, directly is responsible to Supreme King. 白衣院位于东堡最北面,却不是东堡的一部分,它拥有许多独立的房屋楼阁,共分36房,掌管不同职司,白衣院结构复杂,各房之间很少有统属关系,各房头目称为“宗主”,直接向独步王负责。 Mr. Guo is sovereign, his concrete responsibility is a secret, Gu Shenwei guesses perhaps with maintaining in the fort safe related. 郭先生即是一位宗主,他的具体职责是个秘密,顾慎为猜测或许跟维护堡内安全有关。 Gu Shenwei enters Whiterobe Academy to act as the janitor to subject to a penalty, is according to the view of Tie Hanfeng, not only this is not the penalty, is the reward, „Whiterobe Academy is important, you can learn many things there, was Dongbao and I cannot teach you, felt relieved, quick will come out.” 顾慎为进入白衣院充当杂役是要受罚,可是按铁寒锋的说法,这不仅不是惩罚,还是奖赏,“白衣院非常重要,你在那里能学到许多东西,是东堡和我都教不了你的,放心去吧,很快就会出来的。” Gu Shenwei thought that the master was optimistic, what he enters is the concealed study room, before this is responsible for taking care , the material of generation of Supreme King times, the several janitor daily duties are the dusting and elimination insect mouse, protected that piles to save over a hundred years of books notebooks, inside content completely was Golden Roc Castle over the years trivial miscellaneous matters, except for person who initially wrote, has almost read from nobody. 顾慎为觉得师父过于乐观了,他进的是藏书房,该房负责保管前代独步王时期的资料,十几名杂役每日的任务就是打扫灰尘、消灭虫鼠,保护那一堆堆积攒了上百年的书籍簿册,里面的内容尽是金鹏堡历年来的琐碎杂事,除了当初写字的人,几乎从没人读过。 In this seems in the most unimportant concealed study room, in the process of endless insect mouse struggle, do not say that learns any thing, perhaps formerly the knife skill of study was unfamiliar. 在这个看上去最不重要的藏书房里,在与无尽的虫鼠斗争的过程中,不要说学到什么东西,恐怕从前学的刀法都要生疏了。 Tie Hanfeng understands the individuality of apprentice, therefore several times reminded him do not provoke Mr. Guo again, do not presumptuously think to revenge, among them the status disparity was too big, best was maintains the low key, making the matter let it go. 铁寒锋了解徒弟的个性,所以好几次提醒他不要再招惹郭先生,也不要妄想报仇,他们之间的地位差距太大,最好是保持低调,让事情不了了之。 Gu Shenwei does not want to cause complications similarly, is the humans affair difficult along with the people's desires, when the enemy scatters in secret is big, he has to rise spiritedly to counter-attack. 顾慎为同样不想节外生枝,可是世事难随人意,当敌人暗中撒下大时,他不得不奋起反击。 The first sign that scatters greatly will be a minor matter, Gu Shenwei must be able to understand this minor matter from now on the importance. 大撒下的第一个迹象是一件小事,顾慎为要过后才能明白这件小事的重要性。 Outside various janitors' eats meal in Whiterobe Academy big kitchens together, little has the people sound to speak, but everybody has the dissemination news channel. 各房杂役在白衣院外的一间大厨房里一块吃饭,很少有人大声说话,但大家还是有传播消息的渠道。 That noon, side a Gu Shenwei youngster janitor has bumped his, lowers the sound to ask, „you are Yang Huan that Dongbao comes?” 那天中午,顾慎为身边的一名少年杂役碰了他一下,压低声音问,“你是东堡来的杨欢？” Actually some people called the given name that he compiled, Gu Shenwei suddenly even not to respond, after a while nods, that janitor also nods , to continue to eat meal, anything had not said. 竟然有人叫他编造的本名,顾慎为一时间甚至没反应过来,过了一会才点点头,那名杂役也点点头,继续吃饭,什么也没说。 The Gu Shenwei use clamps the vegetable the opportunity, had discovered the distant place has one group of same age youngster to direct, that is another janitor. 顾慎为利用夹菜的机会,发现了远处有一群同龄少年正对着自己指指点点,那是属于另一房的杂役。 This is not strange, Servant Huan is known in Dongbao, initially led is the arm slave help/gang, other servants are interested in him are really normal. 这并不奇怪,欢奴在东堡小有名气,当初领导的又是臂奴帮,其他奴仆对他感兴趣实属正常。 A day later, was censured into Whiterobe Academy 15 th day, Gu Shenwei returns to the residence of master in the evening, immediately some people tell him, will build up the hot institute to have the important matter to occur. 事隔一日,被贬入白衣院的第15天,顾慎为傍晚回到师父的住所,立刻有人告诉他,炼火院将有大事发生。 Later time, Gu Shenwei goes to participate in the arm slave to help the meeting of core member, this is they reaches an agreement, every three days one time, although the apprentice massacred had finished, however everybody's vigilance not, therefore abated completely, therefore decided maintains the relation, the place was not fixed, usually was chosen by He Nu, then informed separately. 稍晚的时候,顾慎为前去参加臂奴帮核心成员的聚会,这是他们商量好的,每三天一次,虽然学徒残杀已经结束,但是大家的警惕性并没有因此完全消退,因此决定保持联系,地点不固定,通常由荷女选择,然后分别告知。 In fact, Snow Mountain Gang also still exists . Moreover the scale is bigger, the member has 20-30 people, contrasts with it, here the arm slave helps only the remaining 15 people. 事实上,雪山帮也依然存在,而且规模更大,成员有二三十人,与之对比,臂奴帮这边只剩下15个人。 At this meeting, He Nu said, the rumor refining up the hot institute to organize the apprentice to carry on an assassination action, the true assassination, the goal is the person outside fort. 正是在这次聚会上,荷女说,传言炼火院将组织学徒进行一次暗杀行动,真正的暗杀,目标是堡外的人。 This motion does not conform to the Golden Roc Castle convention, normally, apprentices, only then after finishing an apprenticeship, has the opportunity to go out to carry out the task, but this apprentice, but also nobody finishes an apprenticeship, initially consecutively for several times in the moon/month the person who tried a blade to kill the enemy, only then Servant Huan very massacring, actually in next month will try to lose to He Nu last voluntarily. 这次行动不符合金鹏堡惯例,正常情况下,学徒们只有出师之后,才有机会外出执行任务,而这一届学徒,还没有人出师,当初连续几次在月试中一刀毙敌的人,只有欢奴挺过了残杀,却在最后一次月试中自愿败给荷女。 But this apprentice is recognition over the years is also most outstanding, the survivor is about 2-3 tenths, is the skilled person like clouds, therefore Dongbao breaks away from the convention, special organization this assassination action, the detail had not been released. 但这届学徒也是公认历年来最优秀的,幸存者不过两三成,却是强手如云,所以东堡打破惯例,专门组织这次暗杀行动,详细内容还没有公布。 The apprentices are very excited, everybody want to be selected, their slaughtering ** is in the most exuberant time, rather stretched out the arms to greet the death, did not let appear frightened. 学徒们很兴奋,人人都想被选中,他们的杀戮**正处于最旺盛的时期,宁愿张开双臂迎接死亡,也不让恐惧露头。 Killer Master also heard this matter, but cannot disclose the multi-information. 杀手师父们也都听说了这件事,但透露不了更多信息。 Next day, Gu Shenwei inquired understands, in the kitchen to the youngster who he directed, was the janitor in article study room. 次日,顾慎为打听明白,在厨房时对他指指点点的少年们,正是文书房的杂役。 The article study room and concealed study room, absence of one word, the responsibility and power and influence are actually the day badly leave, the former is responsible for transmitting, scrutinizing and takes care of the copy clerk who various kinds submit the current Supreme King scrutinization, this person common opportunity sees Wang Zhu, only then after Wang Zhu ascends to heaven, these copy clerks will transmit the concealed study room permanent preservation. 文书房与藏书房,一字之差,职责与权势却是天差地别,前者负责传递、审阅、保管各类提交现任独步王审阅的文书,该房的人常有机会见到王主,而只有在王主升天之后,这些文书才会转交藏书房永久保存。 Whiterobe Academy is also same as Dongbao, has many to trade in private, so long as does not involve top-secret, has been tacitly consented to as usual. 白衣院也和东堡一样,存在着许多私下交易,只要不涉及绝密,照例得到默许。 Apprentice assassination action is by no means top-secret, therefore Gu Shenwei can cause a transcript, He Nu there also has to receive to sell the yellow waistband to be in charge the inadequate 120 money, happen to uses here. 学徒暗杀行动并非绝密,所以顾慎为能够弄出一份抄本来,荷女那里还有收卖黄腰带管事不成的120银子,正好用在这里。 In this transcript, Gu Shenwei had not discovered that the Servant Huan name, He Nu, Wild Horse, Liu Hua and the others above, altogether 20 apprentices, are going to carry out the assassination task at the same time, the specific time and place had not been eventually decided, the situation about goal has not mentioned. 在这份抄本上,顾慎为没有发现欢奴的名字,荷女、野马、流花等人都在上面,一共20名学徒,将要在同一时间执行暗杀任务,具体时间、地点尚未最后确定,关于目标的情况也没有提及。 Gu Shenwei is a little regrettable, but was happy for partners why does not know, the content of this copy clerk makes him uneasy, reads through repeatedly, actually cannot discover the concrete reason. 顾慎为有点遗憾,但替伙伴们高兴,可不知道为什么,这份文书的内容让他感到不安,反复通读,却又找不出具体的理由。 Finally, he in the transcript following 78 marks, distinguished „sovereign Guo Chun” four characters, thought, Mr. Guo do not play the pattern, but in the motion list did not have Servant Huan, he thought that own this was oversuspicious, therefore tore up the transcript, to the end slept. 最后,他在抄本下面78枚印记当中,辨出了“宗主郭纯”四个字,心想,郭先生不会又是要玩花样吧,但行动名单里没有欢奴,他觉得自己这是过于多疑了,于是撕掉抄本,倒头睡觉。 In the dream was still flashing before a writing of all various professions, all wrote with the blood. 梦里仍然闪现着一行行的文字,全用鲜血写成。
