Yu Wu

Chapter 129

Your Majesty raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "...otherwise."

It was clearly a warm room that was like spring all the year round, but suddenly exuded a piercing chill.

Your Majesty leaned back in the deep armchair, staring at Mo Xi from top to bottom on the throne.He wrapped the fox fur tightly, and said slowly: "The past things have passed away, and it doesn't make any sense to keep them alone."

"Mr. Xihe, may I ask you to risk your life to restore these jade slips, can they contribute to the country, or allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment? Will they bring about the collapse of the Liao Kingdom, or can they bring peace to the Kyushu?"

Your Majesty paused for a moment, then said, "Neither can."

"Keeping those jade slips will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. It will only cause... You see, it will cause today's situation where you and I are facing each other."

"Do you still remember the stone tablet standing at the entrance of Yushitai Hall? It says 'Yesterday is dead.', this four-character motto is actually true. Some past events and some secrets should be covered up by the years. Once Digging it out will cause a hundred harms and no benefit to the current situation."

After a moment of silence, Jun Shang said lightly, "I never expected you to be so overwhelmed."

Mo Xi's eyes were filled with scarlet blood.His heart seemed to be flowing with boiling lava, and the blood was rushing to his forehead.

He clenched his fingers into fists, and his voice was hoarse: "It's not that I can't think about it. It's that Your Majesty...you think too much."

"On a stormy night eight years ago, you almost promised Gu Mang everything he wanted on the golden platform. You said all the beautiful words. You said that you never treated them as ants and beasts. You said you would pay them back. He is a fair world for everyone, you said that sooner or later you will personally match him with a heroic ribbon-all these words and promises you have made, are these all your kingly tricks, are they all fake? of?!"

"Mr. Xihe."

The light in Jun Shang's eyes was suddenly cold, and the bridge of his nose was slightly wrinkled up, like the eyes of a tiger and wolf when they are slaughtering.

"—You are simply too presumptuous!"

"What am I presumptuous?! I just want things to be right and wrong, and I just want to see him get the respect he deserves instead of being framed! It's been eight years...he's kept this secret in his heart For eight years, no matter how painful he was, he never betrayed you, and never told others the truth! Now that he is exhausted, he can no longer serve you. It is so difficult for you to return his due innocence. Is it?! You tricked him into desperation, and then abandoned him, Your Majesty, who was your pawn yesterday, but who is your pawn today?! Me?!!"

There was a bang, and the fruit cakes on the table were knocked over.The bean cake was smashed into mud, the grape fruit was smashed, and the juice flowed all over the ground.

Jun Shang stood up abruptly, a layer of blood flushed on his face.

"Mo Xi! Gu reminds you, don't forget the oath you once made!"

He was also caught off guard and forced to the extreme to blurt out this sentence.And as soon as he said it, he regretted it almost immediately.

Sure enough, the light and shadow in Mo Xi's eyes flickered, he raised his forehead with his hand, raised his head, and murmured almost with a sneer: "...The Oath of Heavenly Tribulation..."

Your Majesty: "..."

"Reduce my life by ten years, and make my own blood oath. From then on, the slave monks will not raise their troops and rebel, and I will not raise my troops to rebel. I swear to die to be loyal to the emperor and Zhonghua."

I can't help myself when I made a blood oath back then, and I can still vividly remember the scene of falling down after a long knock.Mo Xi's throat was throbbing, he closed his moist eyes, and said in a low voice: "...What a big joke."

He was silent for a moment, covering his eyelashes with his arms, trying to suppress his emotions, but it was in vain, the gritted hatred was clearly imprinted on his thin face.After a few moments, he suddenly put down his hand, and when he opened his black eyes again, they were already bright with cold fronts!

Jun Shang's heart suddenly turned cold, and he immediately raised his hand to block, but he didn't expect that even if Mo Xi's spiritual core had collapsed to this extent, he would still have such residual power under his rage.There was only a "bang", and the reckless snake whip that swam out through the air slammed through the barrier he had created, and the whip that exploded with scarlet light lashed out in the air, and then turned into a sharp sword that blew hair and cut hair Arrived at the king's throat.

Junshang's expression changed instantly: "Mr. Xihe, if you attack Gu, you will be wiped out without a whole body!"

Mo Xi's eyes were filled with blood, he raised his sword and stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to remind me."

"Your Majesty, you clearly knew the truth at that time, and you clearly made up your mind not to touch Gu Mang's remnants—but you still want to ask me for peace of mind again."

"Mr. Xihe..."

"Use the same chip twice, once to tie him to death. Once to tie me up, I will never betray you. Kill two birds with one stone. Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty, so cunning!"

"..." The general turned his head away, "Gu couldn't explain it to you at all.... Think back to yourself, has Gu always avoided you? But you knelt in front of Gu's palace for three days and three nights ..."

He suddenly turned his face again, and the sword light was reflected on that face, showing a bit of ferocity.

"Three days and three nights! What else can Gu say? I want you to go back? I won't see you even if you are killed? Please think about Gu, Mr. Xihe! There are thousands of pairs of eyes on Gu! If Gu tells you Truth, what will you do so that you don’t have a clue in your mind? Can you just watch your good brother go to Liao Kingdom to suffer so many years of suffering and humiliation?! You can’t do it at all!”

Your Majesty said this, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes due to anger and unwillingness, he stared at Mo Xi, tremblingly said: "Those things you have done, are you not forcing Gu? - Do you think Gu is willing to do that! Do you think Gu Zhen can sit back and relax with a clear conscience?!"

Mo Xi said angrily: "If your majesty is guilty, why would you still do such a cruel thing today?"

"But what choice does Gu have?" Jun Shang gasped, staring at him with red eyes, he pointed his finger back at his seat, and said to Mo Xi, "Would you like to sit up and take a look? You can't help yourself, you are not in this position, you can't even see the monsters clearly!"

"..."

"Do you think that Gu doesn't want to return his innocence? Do you think that Gu doesn't want to see Gu's God of War reappearing on the battlefield? Do you think that Gu doesn't want to hold his hand and tell the whole Chonghua that their faith has never been shattered?" , Their Gu Shuai is still their Gu Shuai, and their loyalty has never changed, do you think you don't want to?!" Jun Shang bit off the last word, his voice choked up.

"I tell you the truth..."

"Day and night, I dream of such a day..."

Your Majesty turned his head suddenly, endured the excitement that the ruler of a country should not have, and turned his face to one side.His mood slowed down, and finally he stopped calling himself me.

"But alone can't do it."

"The roots of the Chonghua old gentry have not been shaken. Although the situation of the slave monks has improved, it is still not good. The Liao Kingdom is still endangering our country's border states all the time. Regarding their black curse, Chonghua is still discolored. I don’t know much—how did you ask Gu to give Gu Shuai a clear name?”

"..."

"Is this the time to announce to the world that Gu Mang is actually a spy who broke into Liao Kingdom alone?"

"Or should we not explain to Gu Mang at this time, and be lenient?"

Your Majesty smiled sadly and absurdly, "Xihe Jun, please be sober. There is too much blood on Gu Mang's hands, the latter is absolutely impossible. And what will be the consequences of doing the former? , you can think about it when you calm down. Yes, his stigma will be cleared, but then what. "

"The Liao Guoguo knew that Gu Mang had stolen their magic secrets and passed them on to Chonghua, so they set up strict defenses. The old gentry would guess the deal Gu made with Gu Shuai back then, and then people's hearts were in turmoil. Internal and external troubles intertwined in one fell swoop. Gu Qing's past five years Hiding, being humiliated for three years...all the pain and all the effort you have endured will be in vain!" Your Majesty paused for a moment, then turned to Mo Xi, "This is not what he wants."

"..."

"Mr. Xihe, you are the person he cherishes most, and you know his choice."

The long sword Mo Xi was holding was trembling with light, and his heart was shaken.

How could he not know?

The dreams that Gu Mang had whispered in his ears countless times in those years, were so cautious at the beginning, as if he was afraid that his naive ideals would be laughed at by his companions.

Later, he said it so firmly, at that time Gu Mang had already decided that he was dead and would never look back.

How could he not know his choice.

From the moment he saw Gu Mang knelt down on the golden platform, he already understood what the path in Gu Mang's heart was... But——

Thinking of the blood-soaked man at the sijutai just now, of the man lying in his arms with big teardrops rolling down, begging not to deprive himself of his memory, how could he feel relieved...

With all thoughts entangled in his heart and all internal organs burned, his whole body seemed to be cut in two, and half of himself felt sorry for Gu Mang's crimes and clamored to leave it alone.What is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in the family and country, what is fairness to everyone? superior.Mo Xi, he begged you like that when his will collapsed, he was afraid of pain, why do you have the heart not to save him?

But the other half of himself was muttering, no... Gu Mang longed for everyone to be treated fairly since he was a child.His senior brother had walked this road for so many years for this day to come, and his body was covered in blood and his eyes were bruised.If he is sober, he is so stubborn, he will definitely let you persist... Mo Xi, how could you betray him.

The two halves of the mind are fighting and torturing each other.

His spiritual core was close to bursting before, and although the elders of Shennongtai managed to remove it, they were still too weak.At this time, the blood was rushing, and the spirit core, which was already in jeopardy, suddenly suffered from severe colic pains, which made him cough up blood all of a sudden!

Seeing his situation, Your Majesty's tense expression relaxed slightly: "Xihe Jun..."

Mo Xi backhanded the long sword that Su Ran had turned into on the ground, the blade cut iron like mud, and sank straight into the gold brick.Panting, he wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, but his lips and teeth were still scarlet, and asked in a hoarse voice: "...Even if...you can't clear him up at this time, then I ask you—"

He closed his eyes forcefully, the meridians on his neck protruded, he squeezed his fists, and squeezed out word by word from the gap between his teeth.

"What is the purpose of the Dark Demon Trial?!"

Your Majesty: "..."

A sentence is like a stone sinking in the sea, and there is no echo.

Mo Xi raised his pupils, and stared at Junshang's suddenly pale face with resentment and sorrow.

His blood-stained lips moved slowly, and the words he poured out were also sweet: "After he returns to the city, you will be the lord of a country. He suffers less torture, can't you do it too?"

Mo Xi's voice was like a broken Tao Xun, and his eye circles were even more red.

"The Black Demon Trial is a pain in the ass! Your Majesty! What are you doing for it? To play a show? To give someone who doesn't know a bloody confession? Or do you want to get more secrets of the Black Demon Curse!"

Your Majesty's face was ashen, he seemed to hesitate to speak, but finally bit his lower lip and turned his head away.

After a while, he said, "Mr. Xihe, there are many things you don't understand—"

"I don't understand many things. I don't know what you think these years. Which of your words is true and which is false. I was kept in the dark for eight years because I didn't know anything. ! But Your Majesty, do you think you know all the truth?"

The light and shadow in Jun Shang's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly said: "...What do you mean?"

Mo Xi's mood was too shaken, and a strong fishy sweetness filled his throat again.He closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and didn't speak immediately.And at this time, the two little golden beasts that had cast the spell on the charcoal basin of the Suzaku Palace woke up. They sucked the smoked charcoal from the brazier into their stomachs, and then hiccupped, and started to fight with their throats consistently for ten years. Shout.

"Your Majesty, the blessings are equal to the sky!"

"Your Majesty's Vessel is added to the sea!"

Mo Xi silently listened to the bragging of the two little golden beasts, and slowly, almost ironically and infinitely sad, he laughed.

Jun Shang's expression became more and more tense: "Is there anything I don't know about Gu Qing?"

Mo Xi didn't answer him directly, but said: "Your Majesty, Murong Lian gave you this charcoal pot smoker to calm your heart and to show submission. Countless people knelt down to you, praised you, and paid tribute to you. The most important thing is the official status, wealth and life... If you want to find a rock-solid and loyal person in Chonghua, there are actually very few people. And Gu Mang is one of them."

"..."

"Because of your various difficulties, you didn't keep your promise. But he is different from you. What he promised you, a gentleman can't follow his words, and he has done it."

As Mo Xi said, he chuckled, and there was endless sadness and sadness in that smile: "Your Majesty, do you know that when we were on Bat Island, Gu Mang actually recovered most of his memories?"

The light in Jun Shang's eyes flickered, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was horrified!

"……he already……?"

Mo Xi was almost cruel, looking at his face that changed instantly, he cut into the king's heart word by word: "Except for the five years in Liao Kingdom, he almost remembers everything. Naturally, he also remembers you The promise to him, he remembered what kind of person he was, he remembered Lu Zhanxing's death, he remembered Fengming Mountain's defeat, he remembered everything you said on the Golden Stage—he remembered them all gone."

Jun Shang's face was completely pale, he shook his head, and murmured back, he was in a daze, as if he hadn't chewed through the meaning of this sentence, and seemed to have understood it all, so his whole body was trembling slightly.

"……how is this possible……"

He stepped back suddenly, looking at Mo Xi almost in disbelief, but his eyes were empty, as if something that had been supporting his cruelty had collapsed.

Fragmented all over the place.

An invisible crack appeared on Jun Shang's normally cool face, and then more and more obvious emotions began to emerge from that crack.Jun Shang shook his head and said, his voice slowly rang out, becoming a little out of control: "How could he remember it?... If he really remembered it, then... wouldn't it be..."

Holding back his tears, Mo Xi said, "He still kept your secret even though he knew the truth and that he had been given up by you."

"..."

"Eight years, what you promised him, he got nothing. He only saw his notoriety and bruises - but he still guarded for you. He didn't come to question you, and he didn't tell anyone about his grievances. When Zhou He cut open his flesh and blood and carried out the black devil test on him according to your will...he was sober..." Mo Xi suppressed the trembling of his voice, but his eyes were filled with darkness, " Your Majesty, do you understand?... When he left with Zhou He, he already knew that he had been wronged!"

Your Majesty slumped back into the couch, looking like the cold was about to turn over again, his lips were so pale: "He knew...he already knew...then he...he was..."

In the end, unable to utter a complete sentence, Jun Shang raised his pale and thin fingers, buried his face deeply, and murmured in a low voice: "Gu Qing...Gu Qing..."

How would he feel when he walked into Shura's room without saying a word, knowing that he was abandoned...

Junshang closed his eyes sadly, his voice became condensed, and finally became a sob.

The stimulation of this truth was too great for him, and for a long time, the king could not relax his mind.He has been muttering to himself, his palms have been soaked with tears, and the surroundings of his eyes are wet.He lowered his head, his neck seemed to be broken by an invisible claw, and his shoulders collapsed unbelievably.

Mo Xi has known him for so many years, but he has never seen Junshang like this.

Your Majesty is deep in the middle of the soft seat of the throne.After another long period of time, he stared blankly at the burning brazier in front of him, and at the firewood in the brazier.His eyes were empty, and he said dejectedly.

"Mo Xi."

"..."

"Do you think that you have a heart of iron and stone, and if you use Gu Qing to the limit, you just abandon it, there is no old love to speak of, and the promise can be kept?"

After Jun Majesty said this, he raised his head, the eye circles and the tip of his nose were still red.He closed his eyes, and in the silence, he finally made up his mind, stood up and said, "You won't believe what I say now. That's all... There is actually one scroll left of the jade slips that contain history, and I have been wearing it all the time." around."

Mo Xi shuddered suddenly!

Junshang said exhaustedly: "...Since the matter has come to this point, Gu has nothing to hide, so please come with Gu."

The author has something to say:

How to finish quickly:

Your Majesty: Otherwise?

Mo Xi: Stop talking!Cut you to death!

System: [Jun Shang] rushed to the street.

System: [Mo Xi] Fell to the street for violating the Heavenly Tribulation oath.

System: [Gu Mang] was easily killed by the boss because of his partner [Mo Xi] rushing to the street and lacking foreign aid.

System: Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, Xi Mang, please start from the beginning.
