Yu Wu

Chapter 159 The Last Straw

In the treatment room.

A slender man in black clothes stood beside Gu Mang's bed.

He held a scimitar in his hand, the sharp blade was still dripping with blood, and the dark red blood beads fell drop by drop.And Gu Mang sat on the bed, looking at the man who was slowly approaching him through the translucent misty gauze curtain.

Maybe it was because the memories of his life experience had given him too much stimulation, Gu Mang didn't have much expression on his face, he just stared at this unexpected visitor with an almost cold numbness.

Suddenly Gu Mang said, "Why did you kill Murong Lian?"

The man in black paused: "...how do you know it's me?"

Gu Mang stared at him: "Liaoguo tempers me like a wolf, I have a wolf instinct."

The man in black: "I see..."

Gu Mang gritted his teeth and said, "So why did you kill him!?"

In fact, he didn't really hope that this person could answer, but the man in black slowly stopped in his tracks.Then a muffled voice came from behind the black scarf covering his face.

"You made a mistake. Murong Lian was indeed the one who did it, but I didn't want to kill him. I was just entrusted by others."

"..."

"But I know very well why the person who wants to kill him wants his life." The man in black said, "Murong Lian knows too many secrets. If it were me, I would not allow him to live in this world."

Gu Mang asked again: "Then what about me? Why did you spend all this time trying to kill me?"

"You're still mistaken. I didn't come to kill you at all."

Gu Mang stared at the bloody bayonet, and said, "It's really convincing."

The man in black stroked the blade and said with a faint smile, "If possible, I really want to take your life directly. It's the cleanest thing. It's a pity that it's not easy to do."

"If your Excellency breaks into the quiet room of the deep palace privately, if no one is there, how to get Gu's head will become difficult."

The man in black smiled slightly: "...It really is that Murong Lian knows too much, but you know too little." But he didn't seem to want to explain anything more to Gu Mang.After all, the Chonghua Palace is full of masters, no matter how good he is, if he delays for a long time and rescues arrive, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to escape smoothly.

So he said: "I came today to tell you a secret that you have been puzzled about before."

Gu Mang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He somewhat guessed the intention of the visitor.

According to Liao Guo Guoshi, his current body is like a container already covered with fine cracks, as long as the stimulus it carries reaches a certain level, he will completely collapse and become a body completely swallowed by the breath of the black devil. The Walking Dead.The visitor didn't intend to kill him, but intended to tell him some secrets, obviously intending to stimulate his mind again and destroy his heart.

Gu Mang sat up straight, his blue eyes fixed on the other party.

It's not that easy.

Rumors tormented, Murong Lian's serious injury, Aunt Lin's identity, his clan... so many storms and storms had already hit him, his memory was indeed chaotic and torn apart, but at least he could maintain his consciousness sober.

He knew that once he was swallowed by the black demon, the situation would get out of hand, so he didn't fall into the abyss.

But what secrets does the other party have that can defeat him?

In such a short moment, countless guesses flashed through his mind, and those guesses became the armor he put on for himself in advance—he thought that no matter what the other party said, he would not be more stimulated .

Until the man in black said four words to him.

"The Oath of Heavenly Tribulation."

Before Gu Mang could realize the deep meaning of these four words, the beast's instinct had already caused a humming in his skull, and the blood flow also became colder unconsciously.

His lake-like blue eyes widened slightly, and he could sense that whether his tall city defenses or the armor he wore would be forced to collapse by these four words.He intuitively knew that he should try his best not to listen any more, but just like a moth would be attracted by a raging fire, knowing that it was a dead end, he would murmur, "...what?"

"Have you never thought about why your lord let Mo Xi take over your remnants?" the man in black's words pierced Gu Mang's eardrums like sharp needles, "Your lord wanted him to take over Chi Ling Jun, why do you think he, a nobleman with the purest blood, will eventually become the commander of your northern border army?"

A chill escaped from his chest.

The man in black knocked his lips and teeth fiercely, and said: "It's because of the oath of heaven."

Like thunder.All five internal organs are burning.

"Even after you stabbed him with your own hands, he knelt for three days and three nights in front of the Golden Luan Hall, dragging a sick body, and begged for your remnants left in Chonghua." The man in black said slowly, " He is such an arrogant person... At that time, he almost stepped himself into the dust. He once spoke for you and defended you in front of the civil and military courts, but what did he get in exchange? Isn't it your heart-wrenching heart attack? prick!"

"Do you know how many people laughed at Chonghua at that time?"

"He had a lot of enemies in the first place, and those nobles who were no match for him in ordinary times came out to ridicule him, saying that he was ignorant of people, that he was obsessed with ghosts, and even said that there was a traitor like you in the state because he didn't realize it in time. They feel that if he could recognize your face earlier, those innocent people would not have died in vain."

"They blamed the defeat and defeat on him. On the one hand, it is the accusation of the family and country against him, on the other hand, it is your abandonment of him, on the other hand, it is the hatred with the traitor, and on the other hand, it is the long-standing friendship with you." Black The clothed man uttered every word clearly, wishing he could turn into sharp needles, every needle piercing Gu Mang's soul.

"You think you are the only one who is suffering. Is there any suffering? When you were in hell, he was also in the cracks. The difference is that you don't know what you are for when you go to hell, but he is in the cracks. You are completely confused. All of you are hiding it from him, making choices for him, ignoring his true inner feelings. Gu Mang..."

The voice of the man in black seemed to be soaked in poison between his lips and teeth.

"You forced him."

Gu Mang shrank into the depths of the curtain as if being stung by a snake or scorpion, his face pale as paper.

"It was you who refused to tell him anything and blindfolded him. It was you who were afraid that his retention would shake your determination, so you sent him to the border selfishly—yes, you made a decisive decision, But you don't even have a chance for him to say goodbye to you properly!"

"No...it's not..." Gu Mang held his head and shrank deep in the tent, "No..."

"Why not? Why not? Gu Mang, you have stamped out his faith, dignity, and brilliance. Just because you thought he would follow the path you arranged, and live a life of innocence and peace of mind from now on." .You are so self-willed!"

Cracking his head in severe pain, Gu Mang curled up like a trapped animal, mourning in a low voice.

"It's not like this...I don't want him to be like this..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. The fact is already like this." The man in black almost sarcastically said, "Because of your concealment, your majesty was able to threaten you for the second time with the lives of the [-] remnants. The first time you threatened you As a secret agent, the second time you threaten him, you must never turn back."

"The oath of catastrophe." The man in black said to him maliciously.

"For the sake of a person whom he thought had left him forever, your Lord Xi He reduced his life span by ten years, and made an oath not to betray His Majesty or Chonghua."

"Gu Mang, I wonder if he told you all this when you complained to him?"

Sentences that ask questions knowingly.

But it was like a tanned whip hitting Gu Mang's body, making him tremble all over, and his lips were trembling blue and white.

I don't know if he told you all this.

Mo Xi's handsome face with deep features seemed to appear before his eyes again, when the long eyelashes drooped, covering all the spectacle in his eyes.

Mo Xi pressed his forehead and said to him in a low voice: "Brother, it's okay, it's over. We still have a lifetime."

He risked the shattering of his spiritual core to discover the truth about Gu Mang's treason. He swam ashore with Gu Mang, heard Gu Mang's pain, understood Gu Mang's sadness, and promised to be with Gu Mang no matter what happened next. bear together.

Only he didn't show him his scars.

The only thing was that they didn't tell Gu Mang that their whole life was actually no longer complete.The Yangshou of those ten years had already become an oath to protect Gu Mang's remnants without the knowledge of many people.

"Do you know what the funniest thing is?"

The man in black saw Gu Mang's pain on the verge of collapse, and took a step forward, his eyes filled with malice.

"The most ridiculous thing is, Gu Mang. His oath was made in vain. You and Junshang clearly promised something, but he was like a fool who didn't know anything, and was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night. In fact, even if If he doesn't make this oath, will your majesty really embarrass your remnants? No."

He gurgled out his venom, piercing into Gu Mang's muscles and bones.

He had the chance to win, and he could tell from Gu Mang's expression how chaotic and broken Gu Mang's state of mind was at the moment.

He is like a spider waving its eight claws, walking from the carefully woven web to the prey trapped in the web.The final blow fell like a sap—

"You guys worked together to rectify the clever calculations, and he was the first one to calculate. Gu Mang, if I have any relatives who love Mo Xi, my greatest hope is that he will never meet you in his life."

It was as if the porcelain surface was cracking finely, making an unsettling cracking sound.

"It was you who made him miserable."

As if the bowstring snapped, Gu Mang let out a low howl in pain, his forehead hit hard between the mattresses, his back was arched, his fingers were buried in his hair, and there was a beast-like wail in his throat.

Oath of Heavenly Tribulation.

The Oath of Heavenly Tribulation...! ! !

Many years ago, the wind in the school grounds seemed to blow up again, the white birch rustled, and the beautiful young man under the tree who was holding a rice dumpling and biting into small mouthfuls noticed his gaze, was startled for a moment, turned his eyes and looked at him quietly.

Those spotless black eyes.

That young man who he thought was as rare as a rough jade when he first met... finally became the first fallen pawn on their chessboard, but he still didn't know it.

"Mr. Xihe, Mr. Wangshu, Lu Zhanxing... Gu Mang, you think that the sacrifices of these people have nothing to do with you. You are wrong. When you became the leader of the king and planned for your justice, they would It has become a chess game in your hands. You will never...don't even think about picking yourself out."

After saying these words, the man in black put a small and narrow jade slip in front of Gu Mang's bed, which engraved Mo Xi's sworn past.

He glanced outside calmly.

He knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and he already had a strong spiritual force coming towards the quiet room.He must leave now.

But he was confident, he knew that it was extremely difficult for Gu Mangding to withstand this blow, not to mention that he managed to steal the jade slips that recorded this cruel past, and handed it to this man who was on the verge of collapse.

The man in black said in a low voice: "If you don't believe what I said, the jade slips cannot be faked, so you should take a good look at it and see how miserable your wrong decision made him."

After putting the saber back into its sheath, before Mo Xi and the others arrived, it swam up the eaves like lightning and disappeared quickly.
