Eagle! Eagle!” 村里的一小群孩子在附近吵吵嚷嚷,跑来跑去,突然一齐指着天空大叫:“鹰！鹰！鹰！” A black hawk from the sky circles fluctuating, loses balanced, as if will momentarily fall the ground. 一只黑鹰在空中盘旋起伏,失去平衡,似乎随时都会跌到地面。 „It was injured.” Some children said. “它受伤了。”有小孩子说。 „It is not, it tied down by snake.” An old man said, he is in the village experiences the richest guide, is responsible for leading this huge team to pass through the desert. “不是,它被蛇缠住了。”一名老者说,他是村里经验最丰富的向导,负责带领这支庞大的队伍穿越沙漠。 The children obstruct the item to look up to together, in the black hawk mouth is holding in the mouth a flower snake, the flower snake is not willing to resign oneself to extinction, closely ties down the eagle body. 孩子们一起遮目仰望,果然,黑鹰嘴中叼着一条花蛇,花蛇不肯束手待毙,紧紧缠住鹰身。 The victory and defeat life or death, looked that who can persist in being longer. 胜负存亡,就看谁能坚持得更久一些。 „It is not the good sign.” The old guide thought aloud, „this season, should not take this road.” “不是好兆头。”老向导自言自语,“这个季节,就不该走这条路。” „Sign does not have the quality, the bad signs of certain people, to another people are the good signs.” Gu Shenwei is also looking at eagle snake fight. “兆头没有好坏,某些人的坏兆头,对另一些人就是好兆头。”顾慎为也望着鹰蛇搏斗。 In old guide heart one startled, bowed saying: „What Dragon King said that hopes this chapter of good sign us.” 老向导心中一惊,躬身说:“龙王说的是,希望这回好兆头在咱们这边。” The black hawk brings the flowered snake to fly to disappear, nobody knows the final outcome. 黑鹰带着花蛇飞得不见了,没人知道最终结果。 What walks in the forefront is the Golden Roc Castle seeking a marriage alliance team, Gu Shenwei has not seen the Shangguan Ru form, thought that she probably was Yi Rong/disguise. 走在最前面的是金鹏堡的求亲队伍,顾慎为没看到上官如的身影,心想她大概是易容了。 The team of Central Plains special envoy follows, the special envoy greeted to Dragon King very much kindly, Zhong Heng nods, has not opened the mouth. 中原特使的队伍紧随其后,特使很亲切地向龙王打招呼,钟衡只是点点头,没有开口。 After several caravans, is the Four Truths Temple Buddhist priest, 12 people, all are the walks, everyone carries the big package, they and Golden Roc Castle teams arrive at Shuangquan Village together, has not actually composed one team with them. 几支商队之后是四谛伽蓝的僧人,12个人,全是步行,每人都背着大大的包裹,他们与金鹏堡的队伍一块来到双泉村,却没有跟他们组成一队。 The old monks, like the firewood, the spirit are quite skinnyly healthy, similarly the walk, at the back of the package, Gu Shenwei obtained the news saying that his name in religion name extended, perhaps was the coincidence, perhaps intended, he was Lian magnificent and the others the masters. 有一位老僧,枯瘦如柴,精神却极为矍铄,同样步行,背着包裹,顾慎为得到消息说他的法名叫法延,或许是巧合,或许是有意,他是莲华等人的师父。 The monks look but not see Dragon King, only then the old monk law extends, although officially has never met with him, actually nods to him. 和尚们对龙王视而不见,只有老僧法延,虽然与他从未正式见过面,却向他点头致意。 The Great Snow Mountain more than 30 people are final, Lin Xiaoshan leads, Guan Shang Yi Rong/disguise mixes in inside. 大雪山30余人位列最后,林小山带队,关商易容混在里面。 He Nu leaves the village finally, rides a horse to run up to side Gu Shenwei, „that six caravans, are hiding the person of unknown origin, but does not have Golden Roc Killer(s).” 荷女最后出村,骑马跑到顾慎为身边,“那六支商队,都藏着来历不明的人,但没有金鹏杀手。” „Supreme King will not use the Golden Roc Castle strength, he does not want to shoulder the charge of violating a truce agreement.” “独步王不会动用金鹏堡的力量,他也不想担负破坏停战协议的罪名。” „Our people may be not enough.” “咱们的人可不够多。” More than 30 individuals, only then three experts, do not calculate the formidable strength in any place. 30多个人,只有三名高手,在任何地方都不算强大的力量。 „Therefore can only make first move and get control.” “所以只能先发制人。” He Nu shows the smile, this is also her idea, even has thought the first goal, „that quite small caravan, only then 15 people, compare other people to worry probably.” 荷女露出微笑,这也是她的主意,甚至已经想好了第一个目标,“那支比较小的商队,只有15个人,好像比其他人都着急。” Gu Shenwei also notes these people, although wears the long gown of merchant, the facial expressions and hard powerful both hands on posture and face of riding a horse, showed that they are not average people, „tonight begins.” He said. 顾慎为也注意到那些人,虽然穿着商人的长袍,骑马的姿势、脸上的神情、坚硬有力的双手,都证明他们并非普通人,“今天晚上动手。”他说。 The winter night of desert is silent and cold, ten teams form a huge camp together, divides to occupy various places, Golden Roc Castle accounts for similar half. 沙漠的冬夜寂静而寒冷,十支队伍共同组成一个庞大的营地,分占各处,金鹏堡一家占据差不多一半。 Gu Shenwei and He Nu dive in three tent, northeast corner of the camp, Guan Shang observed half evening, nods to two people, indicated all normally, did not have the trap. 顾慎为与荷女在三更时分潜出帐篷,在营地东北角,关商已经观察了半个晚上,冲两人点点头,表示一切正常,没有陷阱。 Guan Shang returns in oneself tent/account, here does not need her temporarily. 关商退回自己帐中,这里暂时不需要她。 The caravan altogether three tents, five people share an tent/account, the plans of two Killer(s) use the anesthetics first, then touches to cut the head one by one. 商队一共有三只帐篷,五人共用一帐,两名杀手的计划是先用迷药,然后摸进去挨个割下头颅。 Two people do not have to begin immediately, but observed a meeting, this is a custom, the fact showed, this custom has the advantage. 两人没有马上动手,而是又观察了一会,这是一种习惯,事实证明,这个习惯是有好处的。 Has 14 people from three tents quietly, is hoodwinking the face, nods mutually, 2-3 people of one group, sneaks to the camp. 从三只帐篷里悄悄出14个人,全都蒙着面孔,相互点点头,两三人一组,向营地东南角潜行。 They also want to start tonight unexpectedly, southeast corner Great Snow Mountain camp. 他们竟然也想在今晚下手,东南角正是大雪山的营地。 Gu Shenwei and He Nu regard one mutually, understood the idea of opposite party, has captured a circle, ahead of time outflanks southeast corner, planned and other enemies retreated again 11 interceptions. 顾慎为与荷女互视一眼,都明白了对方的想法,兜了一个圈子,提前包抄到东南角,打算等敌人撤退的时候再11截杀。 Those who made two people accidental/surprised was, the goal of that 14 masked man unexpectedly was not Great Snow Mountain, but was the great distance not far Four Truths Temple Buddhist priest. 令两人意外的是,那14名蒙面人的目标竟然不是大雪山,而是相隔不远的四谛伽蓝僧人。 12 monks only have two tents, they sit in meditation all night, does not need the too big place. 12名和尚只有两顶帐篷,他们彻夜打坐,不需要太大地方。 The masked men keep two partners to act as lookout outside each tent, other people swarm, this does not have the skillful dark Killer(s) section, is used to deal with the average person to be very effective, facing 12 martial arts excel monks, is actually no different fights a hopeless battle. 蒙面人在每顶帐篷外面留两名同伙望风,其他人一拥而入,这是毫无技巧的暗杀手段,用来对付普通人很有效,面对12名武功高强的和尚,却无异于以卵击石。 The fight has only continued very short time, the masked man disastrous defeat, runs out of the tent, scatters in all directions to flee. 战斗只持续了很短时间,蒙面人惨败,冲出帐篷,四散奔逃。 The person in surrounding tent was awakened, runs in abundance, the camp the chaos, gave the masked man to provide a better shield immediately on the contrary. 周围帐篷里的人都被惊醒,纷纷跑出来,营地立时大乱,反倒给蒙面人提供了更好的掩护。 Middle-aged monk Lian comes azure, clear and resonant voice said: „People of one group of ganef, the intention is illegal, had been repelled, not the casualties, do not need to be worried.” 中年和尚莲青现身,朗声说道:“一群宵小之徒,意图不轨,已经被击退,并无伤亡,诸位不必担心。” A disturbance has not formed had ended, everybody know, here is the desert of being desolate and uninhabited, there is a Golden Roc Castle flag to stand erect, will not have the external robber, attacks the monk surely is the person in team, but the monk does not want to investigate, other people naturally will not go looking for trouble. 一场风波尚未形成就结束了,人人都知道,这里是荒无人烟的沙漠,又有金鹏堡大旗竖立,不会有外来的强盗,袭击和尚的必定是队伍中的人,可和尚不想追究,其他人自然更不会自找麻烦。 The fight in Buddhist priest tent from the beginning, Gu Shenwei and He Nu remove to the camp northeast corner of continue to ambush, after waiting for probably half double-hour, the masked man of escaping one after another returns, gathers in the tent/account low voice discussed. 僧人帐篷里的战斗一开始,顾慎为与荷女就撤到营地东北角继续潜伏,等了大概半个时辰之后,逃跑的蒙面人陆续返回,聚在帐内小声议论。 „Has not thought that the monk is so fierce.” “没想到和尚这么厉害。” „What to do? Might as well remove, a day of distance.” “怎么办？不如撤了吧,就一天路程。” „But we received money, cannot attain thing, how goes back to explain.” “可咱们收了钱,拿不到东西,回去怎么交待。” „Waits again, we were the heart were also too anxious, in this camp did not have one group affably, Golden Roc Castle, Dragon King, monk and Zhuang Qiang, when he began mutually, we waited for an opportunity to sort result in cheaply.” “再等等,咱们也是心太急了,这营地里没一伙好惹的,金鹏堡、龙王、和尚、庄强,等他互相动起手来,咱们伺机拣便宜得了。” „Right, this move, does not need us to begin.” “对对,这招好,不用咱们动手。” ...... …… Gu Shenwei and He Nu give up killing people to plan, return to own tent, Guan Shang , etc. there, reported the situation low voice, „had two groups of people to come to peep at late at night, was discovers in the tent/account probably nobody, withdrew.” 顾慎为与荷女放弃杀人计划,返回自己的帐篷,关商等在那里,小声报告情况,“有两伙人后半夜前来窥视,大概是发现帐内无人,又撤走了。” Gu Shenwei said: „I know that Golden Roc Castle found any person to kill me, that Zhuang Qiang, there is a younger brother called Zhuang Heng, was killed by me.” 顾慎为说:“我知道金鹏堡找什么人来杀我了,那个庄强,有个弟弟叫庄横,是被我杀死的。” „Protects buddhist law Blade God” Zhuang Heng is a leader of young fellow robber, dies before more than two years under the Gu Shenwei sword. “护法刀神”庄横是一小伙强盗的领袖,在两年多以前死于顾慎为剑下。 Zhuang Qiang is the chieftain of another group of robbers, after the younger brother died, he once openly declared that must look for Killer(s) Yang Huan to revenge, but had not made an appearance, after Gu Shenwei becomes Great Snow Mountain Dragon King, could not hear his news. 庄强是另一伙强盗的头目,弟弟死后,他曾经公开宣称要找杀手杨欢报仇,可是一直没露面,等到顾慎为成为大雪山龙王之后,更听不到他的消息了。 „Zhuang Qiang is not the extraordinary character, knife skill probably might as well his younger brother.” He Nu as the New Moon Hall governing masters, to some Western Region well-known character many understanding. “庄强不是什么了不起的人物,刀法好像还不如他弟弟。”荷女身为晓月堂御众师,对西域知名人物多少都有些了解。 „Therefore he will wait till today, after the back has been supported, dares to ask me to revenge.” “所以他才会等到今天,背后得到支持之后,才敢找我报仇。” Two people are interested in Zhuang Qiang, as for that group of the dispute of masked man and Buddhist priest, has not actually cared. 两人都对庄强更感兴趣,至于那伙蒙面人与僧人的纠葛,却没怎么放在心上。 Next morning, the team continues to march forward, Lin Xiaoshan is ordered in the team eavesdrops on the news, he recognizes several Bladesman, can speak, but one gets down all day, has not discovered the Zhuang Qiang trail. 次日一早,队伍继续行进,林小山受命在队伍中探听消息,他认得其中几名刀客,能说得上话,可是一整天下来,也没有发现庄强的踪迹。 That evening, Shangguan Hong visited to seek an interview. 这天傍晚,上官鸿上门求见。 Shangguan Hong runs about for Ninth Young Master, he loathes this duty, the leeway that has not actually revolted against, „Ninth Young Master hopes to know that meaning of Dragon King, the transaction that he proposed was effective.” 上官鸿是替九少主跑腿,他厌恶这个任务,却没有反抗的余地,“九少主希望知道龙王的意思,他提出的交易还有效。” „Told him, I was still considering.” “告诉他,我还在考虑。” „Rest of the time are not much, this saying was Ninth Young Master said that was not I, arrived at Shi Guo, Dragon King may not have many choices.” “剩下的时间可不多,这话是九少主说的,不是我,一到石国,龙王可就没多少选择了。” „I know.” Gu Shenwei is not willing to give the explicit answer. “我知道。”顾慎为还是不肯给出明确的答案。 Shangguan Hong has completed own task, relaxed, looks at Dragon King, said: „To be honest, I very thanked you, I told you most important secret, you have kept one's mouth shut, Madame Meng compelled the tightest time has not relented, really has rescued my life.” 上官鸿完成了自己的任务,松了口气,看着龙王,说:“说实话,我挺感谢你,我把最重要的秘密都告诉了你,你一直守口如瓶,就连孟夫人逼得最紧的时候也没松口,真是救了我一命。” „My mouth is always very strict.” “我的嘴一向很严。” „Yes, moreover means what one says, Dragon King, told me, you want to kill off the Shangguan Family person really...... Including me.” “是,而且说话算数,龙王,告诉我,你是不是真想杀光上官家的人……包括我。” „So long as negotiates peace also effectively, I will not kill the Golden Roc Castle person.” “只要议和还有效,我就不会杀金鹏堡的人。” „Right, but everybody clear, so-called peace negotiation is a pretence, Wang Zhu agrees to negotiate peace, wants to a Western Region various countries good impression, quite to enable Ninth Young Master to marry the princess smoothly, Dragon King proposes the peace negotiation, hehe, wants to build the strength, initiates counter-attacks certainly, I said right.” “对,可大家心里都清楚,所谓议和是个幌子,王主同意议和,是想给西域各国一个好印象,好让九少主能顺利娶到公主,龙王提出议和,嘿嘿,是想积聚力量,发起绝地反击,我说的没错吧。” „Since knows why asked.” “既然知道,何必多问。” „But I do not believe that you must kill off Shangguan Family all people, I know, to some people, you cannot start.” Shangguan Hong shows the obvious smile, „I hope, I am also Dragon King not one of people are willing to start.” “可我不相信你真要杀光上官家所有人,我知道,对有些人,你下不了手。”上官鸿露出心照不宣的微笑,“我希望,自己也是龙王不愿下手的人之一。” „In masonry what happened, making the Supreme King sons rush to betray?” “石堡里发生了什么事,让独步王的儿子们抢着背叛？” „What has not occurred, all have not changed.” Shangguan Hong appears very indignant, „I am I, removed one except for the name in ‚industry’ character, Zhang Ji has tried hard for more than three years, has not lifted me. To be honest, I have been weary, particularly that old woman, she me, when the slave treats, shouted to drink, but also compelled me to take care her son.” “什么也没发生,一切都没有改变。”上官鸿显得很气愤,“我还是我,除了名字里去掉一个‘业’字,张楫努力了三年多,也没把我抬上去。老实说,我厌倦了,尤其是那个老女人,她把我当奴隶对待,呼来喝去,还逼着我服侍她的儿子。” Shangguan Hong long sighed, the opportunity that „I gave loyalty to did not have, which could discuss the betrayal? I think...... Oneself look for the strip outlet.” 上官鸿长长叹了口气,“我连效忠的机会都没有,哪谈得上背叛？我只是想……自己找条出路。” „Here is always keeping a road for you.” The Gu Shenwei tone is light, likely is the King to a fugitive speech of having no way out. “我这里总是为你留着一条路。”顾慎为语气平淡和缓,像是王者对着一名走投无路的逃亡者说话。 Shangguan Hong looks the happy expression, „I am also willing to be Dragon King work, as indicating, I am willing to provide an information first, Ninth Young Master planned that Dragon King anti- in desert, will begin the time is not tomorrow, will be the day after tomorrow.” 上官鸿面露喜色,“我也愿意为龙王做事,作为表示,我愿意先提供一条情报,九少主打算将龙王阻在沙漠里,动手时间不是明天,就是后天。” Shangguan Hong asks to be excused, in the Gu Shenwei heart suspicion grows thickly. 上官鸿告退,顾慎为心中疑窦丛生。 Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong, the Supreme King two sons, the side have layer on layer/heavily the guard, actually fears to Dragon King, as if consistently recognized that this guild was assassinated, sums humblly, was almost in the humble situation, this middle something do not suit. 上官飞与上官鸿,独步王的两个儿子,身边有着重重护卫,却都对龙王怕得要死,似乎一致认定此行会遭到暗杀,低三下四地求和,几乎到了卑屈的地步,这中间有些事情不对劲。 Gu Shenwei never planned that in competing for princess's process uses the dark Killer(s) section, the fact is placed in the front, his impossible driving violating a truce agreement. 顾慎为从未打算在争夺公主的过程中使用暗杀手段,事实摆在面前,他不可能主动破坏停战协议。 Therefore the fears of Shangguan Family two juniors appear do not have the reason. 上官家两名子弟的恐惧因此显得更加没有来由。 The information that Shangguan Hong disclosed finally was actually useful, next morning, Great Snow Mountain one line of will really hit an obstruction. 上官鸿最后透露的情报倒是有用,第二天一早,大雪山一行人果然遇阻。 ( Sought collection to seek recommendation) （求收藏求推荐）
