Yu Wu

Chapter 149 Rumors

Mo Xi interrupted him by raising his hand: "...Since when have I slept with your niece?"

"You, you still don't recognize it!" Uncle was furious, pointing at Mo Xi's nose and said, "Well, everyone says Xihe Jun is an upright gentleman, but I think you are a beast in clothes! Just after sleeping, you turn your face and don't like it!" You, you, you are just a white-eyed wolf!"

He roared vigorously here, but the expressions of the people next to him were colorful and different.The guards who admired Mo Xi seemed to be going crazy, the other two rumor spreaders were trembling, Gu Mang was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression at all, but his posture was pretty calm.

As for Mo Xi himself, he sat on the chair in the military tent, folded his hands on his knees, stared at this person for a while, and said: "Mengze is kind to me, I will call you again for her sake." Senior. Senior, I don't know who told you such absurd things, but I will tell you now, Mengze is very innocent and has never had anything to do with me."

"Bah! You're a liar, don't you pretend to be a decent person for me here!"

Mo Xi suppressed his anger and said: "Although I am alone with Mengze in the Chinese military camp, I have not done anything to overstep. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

"Who told you about the Chinese military tent?" Uncle raised his thick eyebrows with a contemptuous expression, "Do you still want to mess with my niece in the Chinese military tent? Rascal! I'm talking about noon! You are in your own tent—oh, I'm ashamed to say you, you know in your heart what you have done to Mengze!"

Mo Xi: "..."

Gu Mang: "..."

Seeing that Mo Xi's face changed slightly and he didn't make a sound, his cousin was a little proud. He bared his teeth and sneered, "Isn't that wrong? Are you still trying to quibble this time?"

"Mr. Xihe, when I was in the Chiling camp, I heard that your northern army is very strict in governing the army, and you are never fooled by women. Today, it seems that you just dare to act and dare not act! Alas, it is a pity that my The silly niece is blind, and others look down on her, but instead she looks at you, an outlaw with a beastly face and heart, and you have defiled her body..."

Relying on his age and status, he spoke more and more harshly. Mo Xi's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips without saying a word, but Gu Mang couldn't bear it any longer.

"It's not over yet?"

"What are you?" Uncle sized him up several times, rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, it's just a bodyguard who came to teach the royal family a lesson, hehe, it's really an anecdote in the world!"

After finishing speaking, another series of sneering sneers came out of his throat.

Before he could finish laughing, Mo Xi said, "You're right."

"At noon, I did have a private meeting with someone in the tent."

Everyone was shocked!Every pair of eyes suddenly turned to Mo Xi.

The uncle was stunned, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, look! Look! I'm right, right? Little Huoqiu, I know that Mu Shaoai is nothing, and you are not considered a violation." What kind of military discipline matters, as long as you-"

Mo Xi interrupted him.

"Servant."

The valet looked as if he was almost overwhelmed, and replied with extremely complicated emotions: "Yes."

"Remember the fault of my private meeting with others, and participate in the king's punishment."

"……Yes."

Before Mo Xi finished speaking, he sat on the back of the chair, crossed his slender fingers, and then said word by word: "In addition, remember that the three people from the Chiling Camp spread rumors before the formation, and they went to the censor together. .”

"?!" The cousin's eyes widened, "Mo Xi, you, what do you mean? You have clearly admitted your actions, but you still say that I am spreading rumors, you, you, you, what are you doing! "

Mo Xi stood up, looking down at him coldly with eyes as cold as glass beads.

"Because that person is not Princess Mengze."

"!!!"

If Mo Xi admitted just now that he had an affair with someone, it was horrifying, but after the words were uttered, the atmosphere in the army tent suddenly shattered like a broken bowstring.

Needless to say, the rest of the people, even Gu Mang opened his blue eyes wide and stared at Mo Xi in astonishment.

Mo Xi walked up to that cousin, stretched out his hand, raised his fat face, and said in a low voice, "I've really put up with you for too long."

"Since the day Mengze rescued me, for nearly ten years, you have made up every day, every sentence is false, and today it is directly in front of me. Senior, I just want to ask you a question—is it interesting?"

"..."

"It is said that I have a relationship with Mengze, and it is said that I have an affair with Mengze. Do you think that as long as you talk too much, I will really marry her, or is it because you think you know me better than myself?"

"Over the years, I have respected Mengze and am grateful to her. I have said it countless times before and after, but no one listens to me. You listen to the wind and rain. You only say that I am ready to marry her at any moment."

Mo Xi paused for a moment: "If Mengze really marries into the Xihe Mansion, will it be better for her or for you?"

The cousin's complexion gradually turned yellow, his eyes dodged and he said, "Mr. Xihe, what are you talking about..."

"Ask you." Mo Xi said solemnly, "You are so focused on building up momentum that you even slandered your niece's innocence. You know exactly what your Murong Pang clan is doing. Why bother to ask me again."

"You...you..." The cousin's fat lips trembled for a while, and his eyes rolled around.But because of a guilty conscience, he couldn't say more words.

Mo Xi straightened up, and closed his eyes sleepily.

Just when he was about to end the conversation, the uncle suddenly thought of a new place to stand, raised his eyebrows and shouted anxiously: "Mo Xi, you... you, you, you don't need to make up other reasons! I see you, You are a cold-blooded person!"

"..."

"Mengze has been with you since childhood, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, who doesn't know that you were originally interested in her?"

Mo Xi's phoenix eyes widened. During this dispute, he had been stunned, disgusted, angry and tired, but he had never been at a loss.But the uncle's words almost stunned him.

He almost choked for a while before asking: "...Why did I have feelings for her in the first place?"

The cousin said: "If you hadn't originally intended her for her, how could she have hurt herself so much in order to save you during the water battle in Dongting? Since she was able to treat you like that, it must be because you treated her well, otherwise who Will you do such a thing for others for no reason? Do you want to say that Mengze is self-indulgent?!"

Of course, it is impossible for Mo Xi to put the judgment of "self-promotion" on Mengze in order to get rid of himself.Seeing his silence, my cousin became more energetic: "Now that she is weak and old, you look down on her and rush to draw a line with her. Everyone says that Mr. Xihe is a kind and righteous man. Gentleman, it turns out that you are not only not a gentleman, but also a despicable villain with a small heart, a shameless person!"

The last eight words were spoken in cadence, the tent was silent for a long time, and suddenly someone clapped their hands.

"Great, are you done bro?"

The uncle turned his head and saw that the one who slapped was the little guard next to Mo Xi, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "Why is it you again? I told you that you are not worthy to talk to me!"

Gu Mang smiled and said, "I didn't intend to talk to you either, I just wanted to ask if you enjoyed talking."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Jin Wei, "Brother Lao, take this senior down, find a tent and lock it up, and control it more strictly. There is no other meaning, it's just that the senior's tongue is so eloquent, and the statement is too brilliant. If he goes out and yells like this, we don't need to fight this battle, and just convict Mr. Xihe."

Jin Wei was still immersed in the shock of "Mr. Xihe actually had a private meeting with someone in the tent" and couldn't extricate himself from it. It took him a while to react, and he stammered, "Ah?... Then, look at that handsome Mo ..."

Before Mo Xi could speak, he heard the cousin yelling: "My surname is Mo! What if you shut me down now? If you have the ability, you can tell the whole of Chonghua that you have a new love. Don't say that we are Murong's offspring. With ulterior motives, let's see how other irrelevant people will judge you! Let me tell you, Huoqiuer, if you lose Mengze, you are corrupt! As for whoever climbs up to you in private, she is—"

That's what he didn't have time to say.Mo Xi quickly raised his hand to strangle him by the throat. Mo Xi's strength was enormous. Although he didn't intend to hurt this person, he still strangled him by the throat in a fit of rage, and almost passed his breath.

Mo Xi lifted him up from the ground with one hand, stared at the blushing face and said, "...I suddenly remembered."

"Senior, your name is Murong Lie, isn't it?"

Murong Lie was pinched off the ground by him, his feet kicked wildly, and he stared at him with rolled eyes like a pig's liver.

"According to the rumors, when Wang Shu was determined not to marry Mrs. Zhao, there were hundreds of officials who advised him. Among them, the most harsh words were a distant relative named Murong Lie."

"—Is that you?"

"Woo... woo...!"

Mo Xi's black eyes shone with a cold luster, obviously he had endured to the extreme, and said word by word: "From the beginning, you hope to comfort me, and then remonstrate with me. Senior, you really have been like a day for 30 years, and you are always in front of me." Worrying and worrying about other people's marriage. But the younger generation may disappoint you, Mengze is like a sister to me, even if I become shameless in the mouth of Chonghua, I will never marry her."

Murong Lie was almost crushed to death by him, he rolled his eyes and gasped for breath, watching the two nobles from Chiling Camp around him fighting, shaking like chaff.

Seeing that another pinch would really kill someone, Mo Xi's slender fingers loosened, and Murong Lie suddenly fell back to the ground like muddy mud, clutching his red neck and panting uncontrollably.

"The predecessors may have benefited from Xian Wangshu, but I will remind you today. Xian Wangshu is Xian Wangshu, and I am me. What happened to him more than 30 years ago will not happen to me again. Chonghua doesn’t lack a lady, let’s hope first.” Mo Xi paused, “There’s no shortage of Mrs. Zhao either. Don’t worry.”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand sleepily, and ordered his servants to suppress him together with the other two rumor spreaders.

After everyone retreated, Mo Xi raised his hand and started applying the barrier again in the camp.

Gu Mang looked at him worriedly from the side: "Mo Xi, although he is in a hurry, it is not impossible to get over it. Why do you have to admit the matter in the tent at noon?"

Mo Xi glanced at him and said, "I've not only admitted it to him. I've also told Mengze about it."

Gu Mang was startled: "Say what?"

"Say I already have someone I like."

"..."

"I told her before that she didn't believe it. But I probably noticed something recently, so I know I didn't lie to her." Mo Xi said, "You don't have to think about it, sooner or later you can't hide this kind of thing. Tomorrow I have to attack Daze City again, and I still have some files to read, so you should rest earlier."

Gu Mang looked at his deep eyebrows and eyes, with a stubborn expression on his face, his heart was messy and sore, he couldn't help sighing: "Oh, you are...why bother..."

Mo Xi set up the last barrier, turned around and said, "I am willing."

"..."

Gu Mang sighed, didn't say anything else, went up to hold his head, held his head in silence for a while, and pressed against his forehead.

Late at night.

Gu Mang didn't feel sleepy, Mo Xi was reading the file, and he was eating snacks beside him while reading the memoir he had written. After reading it for a while, he suddenly closed the file and said, "Mo Xi."

Mo Xi raised his head from the scroll, held the silver spoon in his hand, and turned on the candle: "What's wrong?"

Gu Mang said: "I suddenly thought of it, I forgot to ask, you and that Murong Lie mentioned Xian Wangshu and Mrs. Zhao... what happened to them?"

Mo Xi's eyelashes flicked lightly: "Mrs. Zhao is Murong Lian's mother, don't you have any impression of her?"

"I don't remember too clearly." Gu Mang said, "And I had very little contact with her. She didn't like to talk too much with others. When she was alive, she didn't control her servants much, but she always treated Murong Lian. It's very strict, what the mansion hears most often is that she won't let Murong Lian do this or that, and everything should be done according to her will."

After a pause, she smiled shyly, "But she's pretty pretty."

Mo Xi said: "Mrs. Zhao is indeed outstanding in appearance. She used to be one of the most beauties in Chonghua. Back then, she was married to Xian Wangshu...that is, Murong Lian's father, Murong Xuan. Her talent and appearance are impeccable. , the family background is also the same as that of Xianwang Shu, but Murong Xuan had an affair with another woman of low status at that time, so he refused to marry her anyway, and the scene was very embarrassing."

Gu Mang scratched his head. Although he didn't remember these rumors, he could indeed figure out some past entanglements between Mrs. Zhao and Murong Xuan from other memories, so it wasn't surprising.

He tentatively asked: "Then why did Murong Xuan agree to marry her?"

"The situation is stressful, and there are various other reasons." Mo Xi shook his head, "It's been too long, there have been rumors, and there are all kinds of theories. Why are you thinking about this all of a sudden? "

Gu Mang said: "Well... because there is someone in my impression, she is also a slave of Wangshu Mansion. When I was young, she took good care of me. I always think that she might be the girl Wangshu once liked—"

Mo Xi said, "It won't be her."

Gu Mang was a little surprised when he heard him categorically reject it: "Why?"

"Xianwang Shu likes the girl who is an ordinary citizen from Lin'an, not a slave."

Gu Mang stuffed another piece of mung bean cake into his mouth, his cheeks bulged slightly, and his long black hair hung down gently beside his cheeks: "Ah, since she is not a slave, why can't she marry Xian Wangshu?"

"Because even if she is not a slave, the status is too different, and the girl seems to have been injured before, and she doesn't remember her life experience clearly. I don't know the details, but I have heard many different versions. There is a rumor that He said that Lin'an was Yue Juntian's fiefdom, and the people were all under Yue Juntian's jurisdiction, but Yue Juntian and Xian Wangshu had always had a bad relationship. After knowing that he was in love with a girl from Lin'an, he encouraged his party members to go to Junshang together. Admonishment, accusing the girl of being an undercover agent of the Liao Kingdom, and finally forcing the girl to leave the country." Mo Xi put down the scroll, he has always disliked this kind of gossip, he hated it when he heard it from others, but he said it to himself. He became more and more embarrassed.

He paused for a while before continuing: "However, there is a more widely circulated theory that Yue Juntian did not say that she was an undercover agent of the Liao Kingdom, but sent someone to inquire about her background, and later found out that she was an undercover agent. She used to be a prostitute in a brothel, so she reported it to the emperor, so it is naturally impossible for the Lin'an girl to enter the Wangshu Mansion and become Mrs. Murong."

He rubbed his browbones with a headache, and said, "That's about it. There are many other theories, which I don't remember. But most of them are related to Yue Juntian, saying that he was the one who broke up the marriage in the end." Yes, he feels that the girl is a citizen of his fief, and her origin is unknown, and she is unwilling to take responsibility, so he has always opposed their marriage."

Gu Mang saw him gossip helplessly, it looked funny and pitiful, so he went around and squeezed his shoulders, and coaxed him on his back, "Okay, okay, I won't talk if I can't remember. .”

"Sorry. If you're interested, I'll go to the bookstall next time and buy you a strange record..."

Gu Mang hurriedly said, "No need."

Ask Mo Xi to buy Strange Records?Don't make it difficult for people to do small business, the shopkeeper should think that he is here to seal up the bookstall.

The two chatted and chatted, and the night passed like this.

Regarding the Mengze matter, although there have been rumors in the army that he went away privately, the situation is urgent, and the military discipline of the Northern Frontier Army is much better than the other two battalions, so most of the rumors and rumors are only spread in the Chiling Camp and cannot be revealed for the time being. What waves are coming.

When dawn broke on the second day, Chonghua launched a second siege on Daze City as planned.
