Kidnaps the Shangguan Ru person to send out the signal that preparation negotiated finally, desirably maintained mysterious, adopted the circuitous method, knew perfectly well that Shangguan Ru was not , the correspondence actually directly delivered to the Land of Fragrance camp. 绑架上官如的人终于发出准备谈判的信号,刻意保持神秘,采取迂回手段,明知上官如不在,信函却直接送到香积之国的营地。 „What delivering a letter is the famous maidservant, said that the master and Instructor are acquaintances, asked that her other, is not willing to say much.” “送信的是名侍女,说主人与教头是熟人,问她别的,一句也不肯多说。” The correspondence neat handwriting, stems from some accountant gentleman's hand likely, the content was very simple, said that will come to visit in today evening, hopes to be insufficient to return disappointed and so on, has not inscribed. 信函字迹工整,像是出自某位账房先生之手,内容很简单,说将会在本日傍晚前来拜访,希望不至于败兴而归云云,没有落款。 „What this person wants to see is I.” After Gu Shenwei believe looked repeatedly two, draws the conclusion. “这人想见的是我。”顾慎为将信反复看了两遍之后得出结论。 Three court ladies nod, „, therefore we have sent, asking Dragon King to rescue Instructor, the Land of Fragrance troops and wealth, performed dispatches along with Dragon King.” 三名女官一齐点头,“所以我们就送来了,请龙王一定要救出教头,香积之国的人马与财富,尽随龙王调遣。” What if the kidnapper wants is only these, the matter was instead simple. 如果绑架者要的只是这些,事情反而简单了。 Gu Shenwei planned that sees this visiting. 顾慎为打算见一见这位拜访者。 Now around camp were many many supervisors, after packing off three court ladies, Gu Shenwei will lead five guards to go to the artisan area to capture, the imperial court congress will have drawn near, in the store was fully occupied, after a double-hour, five guards returned to the camp, was tagging along after big group of depressed trailsmen, they all with losing, no one had discovered how Dragon King vanished. 如今营地周围多了不少监视者,送走三名女官之后,顾慎为带着五名卫兵前往工匠区兜了一圈,龙庭大会就快到了,商铺里人满为患,一个时辰之后,五名卫兵返回营地,身后尾随着一大堆沮丧的跟踪者,他们全都跟丢了,谁也没发现龙王是如何消失的。 Nearby the Land of Fragrance camp still had supervisor, but here 1000 people, the area are general, wants to be included in the supervisor area completely, only if sends out a small army to have the possibility. 香积之国的营地附近仍有监视者,可这里有1000人,面积广大,想全部纳入监视范围之内,除非派出一小支军队才有可能。 The sunset dusk, Gu Shenwei relaxed enters the camp from a surveillance dead angle, He Nu and Chu Nanping arrives also early compared with him, after Yi Rong/disguise, has inspected in the surrounding, when at nightfall, two people will hide, is protecting Dragon King in secret. 日落黄昏,顾慎为轻松从一处监视死角进入营地,荷女与初南屏比他到得还早,易容之后一直在外围巡视,等到入夜,两人将隐藏起来,在暗中保护龙王。 Three court ladies is a little tense, them youngest also thirty years old, but lives since childhood in the close state, early completed from fresh to dying is the mental preparations of slave, when the aristocrats in own country were destroyed, already flurried, missing of Instructor, made them have the feeling of calamity. 三名女官有点紧张,她们当中最年轻的也有三十几岁,可是从小生活在封闭的国度里,早做好了从生到死都是奴隶的思想准备,当本国的贵族被摧毁的时候,就已经慌乱过一阵,教头的失踪,更让她们有天塌地陷的感觉。 Moreover they a little are afraid Dragon King, all defends outside the tent/account, once the slightest sign of trouble appears will run to report, the horses that passed by from the camp goes crazy including several frightened, must notify one seriously. 而且她们有点害怕龙王,全都守在帐外,一有风吹草动就跑进来报告,连几头从营地门外路过的马匹受惊发疯,也要一本正经地通报一声。 The enemies finally start to take the action, Gu Shenwei instead calm down, he most fears does not have any suggestion, suddenly sends head/number of people anything. 敌人终于开始采取行动,顾慎为反而冷静下来,他最怕的是没有任何暗示,突然送来人头什么的。 The dim light of night arrives, visiting arrives finally, was still a female, was throwing over a long cape, saw after Dragon King, was not surprised, „daughter paid a visit Dragon King.” 夜色降临,拜访者终于到来,仍是一名女子,披着一件长长的斗篷,见到龙王之后一点都不惊讶,“小女拜见龙王。” This confirmed Gu Shenwei previous guess, the person who visiting really wants to see is he, but this woman obviously is not the Lord. 这证实了顾慎为此前的猜测,拜访者真正想见的人是他,可这名女人显然不是正主。 Female both hands carried in another correspondence, Gu Shenwei just met, she turned around to walk, ignored to detaining of court lady. 女子双手捧上另一封书信,顾慎为刚一接过去,她转身就走,对女官的挽留置若罔闻。 In the letter is drawing a brief map, in a circle of oval-shape writes „imperial court” two characters, beyond the circle the Northwest layer on layer/heavily is spreading together the ink marks, obviously is inviting Dragon King to there negotiations. 信上画着一幅简略的地图,一个椭圆形的圈里写着“龙庭”两个字,圈外西北方重重地涂着一块墨迹,显然是在邀请龙王到那里谈判。 The map is too brief, Gu Shenwei thought oneself spent for three days three nights to be also not necessarily able to find the place, moreover he remembered very clearly, north dragon court was very big a place is the forbidden areas, cannot anybody enter. 地图实在太简略,顾慎为觉得自己花三天三夜也未必能找到地方,而且他记得很清楚,龙庭以北很大一块地方都是禁区,不许任何人进入。 The court ladies recognize this place unexpectedly. 女官们竟然认得这个地方。 „Here probably is the position of hundred flowers camp.” “这里好像是百花营的位置。” „Hundred flowers camp?” Gu Shenwei indistinctly a little impression. “百花营？”顾慎为隐约有点印象。 „Little Yan Zhi invited Western Region various countries queen and princess gets together in Northern Court, Old King Han warded off a place in north specially, pitched camp the housing for the guest, only then our Land of Fragrance was an exception, Instructor led us to go to the hundred flowers camp, probably was this position.” “小阏氏邀请西域各国的王后与公主在北庭聚会,老汗王特意在北面辟出一块地方,供客人安营居住,只有咱们香积之国是个例外,教头曾经带我们去过百花营,大概就是这个位置。” The matter all of a sudden became complex, north dragon court was the forbidden area, is the women of quality who in the hundred flowers camp lived, Dragon King, if appeared there secretly, even if were cut to pieces, some people will not accuse Northern Court not to keep the promise probably. 事情一下子变得复杂了,龙庭以北是禁区,百花营里居住的又都是各国贵妇,龙王要是偷偷在那里出现,就算被千刀万剐,大概也不会有人指责北庭不遵守诺言。 Three court ladies volunteer to inquire situation, „we are the women, first goes to the camp twice time also has known several friends, will not arouse suspicion.” 三名女官自告奋勇去打探情况,“我们是女人,前两次去营地的时候也结识了几位朋友,不会引起怀疑。” Gu Shenwei agreed that and how teaches them to get rid of the possible tracer, therefore after three court ladies leave the camp, directly soars the east Dragon Army camp, met with one group of enlisted women on the way, after chirp conversation, three court lady have not been short, but one of them has made a fraudulent switch. 顾慎为同意了,并教她们如何摆脱可能的追踪者,于是三名女官出营之后直奔东面的龙军营地,途中与一伙女兵相遇,唧唧喳喳地交谈之后,三名女官一名没少,但是其中一人已经调包。 The weather is dim, this move is effective very much. 天色昏暗,这一招很管用。 The court lady who until the midnight, goes to the hundred flowers camp hurries back, entered the tent saying that „strange event”, „that side knows probably I must go to resemble, has not arrived at the camp entrance, some people in road superior me, moreover recognized me is the Land of Fragrance person, look, was a letter.” 直到半夜,前往百花营的女官才赶回来,一进帐篷就连说“怪事”,“那边好像知道我要去似的,还没到营地门口,就有人在路上等我,而且认得我是香积之国的人,瞧,又是一封信。” Visiting especially likes being mysterious evidently. 拜访者看样子特别喜欢故弄玄虚。 The Gu Shenwei heart Central Plains itself has three suspects, now was a little also ambiguous, the Northern Court prince and Old Man Mu such poorly will not toss about, they will propose directly that condition and threat, does not allow Dragon King to consider. 顾慎为心中原本有三个嫌疑人,现在又有点含糊了,北庭的王爷和木老头不会这么穷折腾,他们会直接提出条件与威胁,不容龙王考虑。 In the letter is one line of addresses, this rushed to the artisan area of Southwest, moreover indicates „momentarily awaits respectfully”. 信里是一行地址,这回又跑到了西南方的工匠区,而且注明“随时恭候”。 If the opposite party wants to exhaust the Dragon King patience, may a little look down on him, a Gu Shenwei person leaves the Land of Fragrance camp quietly, found He Nu and Chu Nanping, three people rush to the artisan area, investigates in the place that in the letter mentioned carefully. 如果对方想要耗尽龙王的耐心,可有点小瞧他了,顾慎为一个人悄悄离开香积之国的营地,找到荷女与初南屏,三人赶往工匠区,在信中提到的地点仔细勘查。 Here is the artisan area most crowded place, is suitable for ambushing, only if has a pair of perspective eye, otherwise is very difficult to determine that which tent is not dangerous. 这里是工匠区最拥挤的地方,非常适于埋伏,除非拥有一双透视眼,否则很难确定哪一顶帐篷是毫无危险的。 Until four, near daybreak time, Gu Shenwei does not have the target proximity tent. 直到四更,天快要亮的时候,顾慎为也没有靠近目标帐篷。 „I go to have a look.” He Nu joins voluntarily, „, so long as you do not go, even if there is a trap, not under extreme methods to me.” “我进去看看。”荷女主动请缨,“只要你不进去,就算有陷阱,也不会对我下死手。” But may also catch to be the hostage her, Gu Shenwei cannot agree, „, did not wait dawn again to say.” 但有可能把她也抓起来做人质,顾慎为不能同意,“不,等天亮再说。” „I go.” Chu Nanping quietly had flushed, the speed is fast two people unable to block. “我去。”一直悄没声的初南屏冲了出去,速度快得两人都拦不住。 Gu Shenwei looks at the Chu Nanping background startled, this is the first time, the youngster swordsman acts presumptuously unexpectedly, before this, he under instigatation of Xu Xiaoyi and Tie Linglong, occasionally did not solicit the suggestions of Dragon King. 顾慎为愕然地看着初南屏的背景,这是第一次,少年剑客竟然擅自行动,此前,他都是在许小益和铁玲珑的教唆之下,才偶尔不征求龙王的意见。 „He has the concern.” He Nu said low voice, is looking at Chu Nanping the form that vanishes rapidly. “他有心事。”荷女小声说,也望着初南屏正在迅速消失的身影。 „He is always thinking that wraps Ruthless Sword Technique.” “他总在想着那套无情剑法。” „No, he has other concern.” “不,他有别的心事。” Gu Shenwei can see through others to hide in the schemes and tricks at heart, but he will not look at the concern, but listened to a He Nu saying, Chu Nanping indeed a little changed, moreover changed had long time, the youngster was more silent than the past is also desolater, everybody said that he and Dragon King looked like more and more, Gu Shenwei also believes that this was the result of Killer(s) training, now, he thought that the He Nu vision was more accurate. 顾慎为能一眼看穿别人藏在心里的阴谋诡计,但他不会看心事,不过听荷女一说,初南屏的确有点变化,而且变化已经发生很长时间,少年比从前更沉默也更冷淡,人人都说他与龙王越来越像,顾慎为也相信这是杀手训练的结果,现在,他觉得还是荷女的眼光更准确一些。 Gu Shenwei plans to interrogate afterward well, this youngster is different from others, if makes Gu Shenwei only elect the person who can trust among all people, he will assign Chu Nanping without hesitation. 顾慎为打算事后好好盘问一下,这名少年跟别人不一样,如果让顾慎为在身边所有人当中只选一名可以信任的人,他会毫不犹豫地指定初南屏。 Chu Nanping will not betray, because he has not given loyalty to from the beginning, the idea of youngster is strange, except for Gu Shenwei, few people can understand. 初南屏绝不会背叛,因为从一开始他就没有效忠,少年的想法非常怪异,除了顾慎为,很少有人能理解。 After the quarter of an hour, Chu Nanping turns back, only said two characters, „safe.” 一刻钟之后,初南屏折返,只说了两个字,“安全。” Thought probably Dragon King and He Nu vision a little suspected, he adds on one, „affirmation security.” 大概是觉得龙王与荷女的目光有点怀疑,他又加上一句,“肯定安全。” The day must shine, Gu Shenwei said: „I go.” 天就要亮了,顾慎为说:“我自己进去。” After Dragon King walks away, He Nu asked: „Who is?” 龙王走远之后,荷女问:“是谁？” „I had pledged that cannot say.” “我发过誓不能说。” This mystically visiting evidently is really specially the acrobatics that likes being mysterious, „is the person who we know?” 这位神秘的拜访者看样子真是特别喜欢故弄玄虚的把戏,“是咱们都认识的人？” Chu Nanping hesitant a meeting, is thinking how own reply does not violate the pledge, after a while, he nods, „is very in any case safe.” 初南屏犹豫了一会,在想自己的回答怎么才算是不违背誓言,过了一会,他点点头,“反正很安全。” The tent is not very high, outside seems is also very ordinary, walks to discover that the area is not small, inside has not lit a lamp, Gu Shenwei will adapt to one to see clearly the pattern. 帐篷不是很高,外面看上去也很普通,走进去才发现面积不小,里面没点灯,顾慎为适应了一会才看清格局。 Several screens, all kinds has, the careful arrangement, separates the tent, if the interlinked small space, a miniature labyrinth, the under foot is spreading several rugs probably, almost one foot thick, steps on above, Gu Shenwei thought oneself are swaying, how wonders these screens to tower not but actually. 十几座屏风,各式各样的都有,精心布置,将帐篷分隔成若相通的小间,好像一座微型迷宫,脚下铺着数层地毯,几乎有一尺厚,踩在上面,顾慎为觉得自己在摇晃,纳闷那些屏风怎么能够耸立不倒。 Quick he discovered, the rug all cuts to the shape that the screen foundation adapts, as the matter stands, wants to move the screen is a very difficult matter. 很快他就发现,地毯全都切割出与屏风底座相适应的形状,这样一来,想移动屏风将是一件非常困难的事情。 Here master not only likes being mysterious, but also likes the screen very much, in the impression of Gu Shenwei, only then a person almost cannot leave the screen, but that person should never appear in Northern Court. 这里的主人不仅喜欢故弄玄虚,还很喜欢屏风,在顾慎为的印象中,只有一个人几乎离不开屏风,可那个人不应该也不可能在出现在北庭。 „You came slowly, I also think that three can see you.” “你来得太慢了,我还以为三更就能见到你呢。” The sound from the tent deep place, Gu Shenwei is surprised extremely, because this indeed is the voice of that person. 声音来自帐篷深处,顾慎为惊讶万分,因为这的确是那个人的声音。 Bypassed 56 screens, Gu Shenwei saw was leaning against tea on soft cot. 绕过56座屏风,顾慎为看到了正斜倚在软榻上的罗宁茶。 „How to speak? Aren't you such willing to see me?” “怎么不说话？你就这么不愿意见我？” Two people previous time met in Jade City, Gu Shenwei at that time had not regarded the mistress her, has treated her cruelly, but also thinks that since will then not have the dispute with this woman. 两人上一次见面还是在璧玉城,顾慎为当时可没把她当成女主人,残忍地对待了她,还以为从此再也不会与这个女人发生纠葛。 Tea is straight the body, lights small several on oil lamp, said: „Do not be embarrassed, among us may not have the secret.” 罗宁茶直起身子,点燃身边小几上的油灯,笑着说:“别不好意思,咱们之间可没有秘密。” „You how here?” Gu Shenwei coldly asks, examines one behind nearby each screen. “你怎么会在这儿？”顾慎为冷冷地问道,在附近的每一座屏风后面都查看一眼。 „Not others, our two.” The tone of tea a little changes, was not arbitrary like the past, instead a little Looked like Gu Shenwei thought that Xu Yanwei was too perhaps big to her influence a point. “没有别人,就咱们两个。”罗宁茶的语气有点变化,不像从前那么蛮横,反而有点像——顾慎为觉得许烟微对她的影响或许太大了一点。 „You can act in a self-serving manner, like the previous time.” Tea lowers the sound, gentle bone to inter the body, not like the Big Head God daughter. “你可以为所欲为,就像上次一样。”罗宁茶压低声音,柔媚入骨,更不像大头神的女儿了。 „You have not answered my issue.” “你还没回答我的问题。” „Hee hee, more than one year have not seen, you may look like king more and more ‚’. I here? Naturally was invited, Little Yan Zhi also sent to Golden Roc Castle invited the letter, but I first . Moreover, I now am the Little Yan Zhi trusted aide.” “嘻嘻,一年多没见,你可越来越像‘王’了。我怎么在这儿？当然是被邀请来的呗,小阏氏给金鹏堡也发了请函,我可是第一个到的,而且,我现在算是小阏氏的心腹。” Speaking of last, tea was complacent , the point had likely former her, at that time she regarded the plot teacher Servant Huan, every time made a minor matter to him show off. 说到最后一句,罗宁茶得意洋洋,又点有像从前的她了,那时她把欢奴当成阴谋教师,每做成一点小事都要向他炫耀。 „What did she ask you to make?” Gu Shenwei a little does not believe, Little Yan Zhi gives Golden Roc Castle to send out the invitation, the object should also be Madame Meng. “她请你做什么？”顾慎为有点不太相信,小阏氏就算给金鹏堡发出邀请,对象也应该是孟夫人。 „Because I have the army.” “因为我有军队。” Tea from Dragon King sees response that finally oneself anticipate: Surprised and unbelievable, admiration and praise. 罗宁茶终于从龙王身上看到自己期待的反应:惊讶、难以置信、敬佩与赞扬。 On the Gu Shenwei face does not have these many expressions, but he is very indeed surprised, „do you have the army?” 顾慎为脸上没有这么多表情,但他的确很惊讶,“你有军队？” „Un, compared with Land of Fragrance must early.” Tea is even more favorite, „was the Big Head God former subordinates, they mixed for these years very much not well, ran to go to me, I made them convene old am, has established an army, had 2000 people quickly.” “嗯,比香积之国还要早一点呢。”罗宁茶越发得意,“都是大头神从前的部下,他们这几年混得很不好,跑来投奔我,我就让他们召集旧属,建立了一支军队,快有2000人了。” Supreme King will allow tea so to deliberately create trouble unexpectedly, she status in fort is very evidently stable. 独步王竟然会允许罗宁茶如此胡闹,看样子她在堡里的地位还很稳固。 „Congratulations, what do you ask me to make?” Gu Shenwei is not interested in 2000 people of small stock armies. “恭喜,可你找我做什么？”顾慎为对一支2000人的小股军队不感兴趣。 „It is not I looks for you.” The temperament of tea can with being reborn to describe simply, facing the indifference of Dragon King, is not angry, „must look for you compared with my status higher woman.” “不是我找你。”罗宁茶的脾气简直可以用脱胎换骨来形容,面对龙王的冷漠,一点也不生气,“是比我地位更高的女人要找你。” Gu Shenwei thinks what she said is Madame Meng, immediately thinks Madame Meng's the status in tea eye is not higher than her, „Little Yan Zhi?” 顾慎为以为她说的是孟夫人,马上想到在罗宁茶眼里孟夫人的地位一点也不比她高,“小阏氏？” „Un, she has the thing that you want, wants to receive in exchange for your help with it.” “嗯,她有你想要的东西,想用它换取你的帮助。” Gu Shenwei cannot think, Shangguan Ru will fall to Northern Court Little Yan Zhi in unexpectedly. 顾慎为怎么也想不到,上官如竟然会落到北庭小阏氏手里。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
