792 Holding No Resentmen (2/2)

Shangguan Ru drew her hands back. ”Sometimes I feel like you're extremely similar to my father.”

”The day I entered Golden Roc Castle, I made a resolution to become someone like the Unique King because he killed all my family, which means that he's stronger than my father and my brothers.”

This was a naked philosophy of revenge. Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ru felt her heart skip a beat and that this man before her was becoming more and more similar to her father, ”No-”

”No,” Gu Shenwei said before she could finish her remark. ”Whatever the Unique King did to his enemies, I'll do the same. He won't show any mercy, and I won't either.”

Shangguan Ru felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. The situation was very simple; it was just that she had been unwilling to think about it all along. ”Even if you don't try to kill him, he'll still kill you.”

Gu Shenwei nodded.

The look on Shangguan Ru's face went back to normal. ”I won't do anything against the Dragon Army's interests, and neither will I beg you to show mercy to my father. That resentment is between you and the Unique King. Golden Roc Castle has been there for many years, and it's about time it fell. But I'm not going to help you destroy it. After I get Shaomin back, I'll return to the Land of Fragrance as soon as possible.

”Please do that,” Gu Shenwei said in a formal tone. He still trusted her wholeheartedly, more than he trusted anyone else, although there was no explicit reason behind that trust.

”I suggest you keep an eye on Duodun. He's no simple man. You haven't seen what he did in the Xiaowan Kingdom. Although you're the one who led those Norland troops here, they sincerely support their prince, and their cheers for him were heartfelt. And Duodun didn't let slip a single bit of their emotion.”

”There's nothing to be worried about with regards to Duodun.” Gu Shenwei was indifferent. ”Just like the Khan, he thinks that loyalty is something that people are born with and that he can manipulate it in whatever way he wants. However, he's not the Khan and he'll never be the King of Norland.”

Shangguan Ru felt that the Dragon King's calmness was both admirable and annoying, as she asked, ”You think that the Court Attendants Army won't pledge their allegiance to Duodun?”

Among the 100,000 plus Norland cavalrymen that Gu Shenwei had gained, the core consisted of the more than 90,000 strong Court Attendants troops. Not only were they the largest faction, but they also possessed the greatest fighting capability. At present, they were stationed in the Royal Court, leveling the hill, guarding the Khan's mausoleum, as well as holding back Prince Luoluo's army that was marching westwards. They wouldn't leave there until there was enough grass to cover all the signs of the mausoleum in the spring of next year.

”Nobody can easily win over the Court Attendants Army's allegiance.”

”You'd better have other methods to deal with this. Duodun's better at gathering people under his banner than any of the ten kings of Norland. To be honest, he's even better than you in this regard.”

Gu Shenwei didn't say anything. Suddenly, Shangguan Ru blushed and said, ”For your information, if I were forced into marrying Duodun, even if it's just a faint possibility, you'll be the one I hate the most in the world.”

”That's just Duodun's irrational hopes.”

It was already after midnight when Gu Shenwei left. Worrying that he might have wasted too much time in Shangguan Ru's room, he immediately went to Xu Xiaoyi. ”The Unique King's in Heaven's Pass.”

”What?” Xu Xiaoyi was startled. ”How come… There's no sign of it at all?”

”He arrived approximately three days ago and he's probably still here.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”I'll send all of our men right away.”

”Don't. He'll know and flee if you do that. I might know where he's hiding.”

”Duodun,” Xu Xiaoyi yelled in realization, and then he quickly lowered his voice. ”Duodun's always been in contact with Golden Roc Castle. Given that the Unique King's no longer in a favorable situation, he must have come here to Duodun for help.”

”Duodun despises Golden Roc Castle. He wants servants not allies, so he's not the one the Unique King would go to.” Gu Shenwei had another person in mind, but there was not enough evidence to prove it. ”How's Mo Chu doing these days?”

”Mo Chu?” Xu Xiaoyi was surprised. Nominally, Mo Chu was the Governor of Jade City and the Commander-in-chief of the 70,000 Norland cavalrymen, but Duodun was the one who was in de facto control of the troops. If it weren't for the fact that Shangguan Ru had inexplicably rescued him, he would still be in prison.

”Yeah, him.”

Xu Xiaoyi quickly recalled some information. ”Well, Mo Chu's pretty normal and doesn't hang out very often. Occasionally, he'll drink with his former subordinates and grumble, but he's never done anything dramatic, and he's never even been to the army camp either.”

”He never came to you or Instructor Shangguan?”

”He didn't. Not even once. Oh, I remember now,” Xu Xiaoyi finally saw what the Dragon King was hinting at. ”Mo Chu's a cunning bastard. Duodun took away his army and threw him in prison. This old guy definitely wouldn't have swallowed it lying down. But the Tenth Young Master saved his life. How could he just pretend to now know anything about it? Besides, the Dragon King is such a powerful ally, and yet he also acts as if he doesn't care, so obviously he has another plan to take revenge…”

”Send more men to protect Xiao Fengchai and Lü Qiying. Currently, they're very important.”

”Yes. What about Mo Chu? Should I monitor him?”

Gu Shenwei decided to pay Mo Chu a visit himself and Xu Xiaoyi's opposition didn't make him change his mind. He was eager to find out whether there was still a gap between his kung fu and that of the Unique King.

And this was exactly such an opportunity.
