Yu Wu

Chapter 182

"The beast on the altar of the empire is not a fool who has been used all the time."

Hearing this, Mengze let out a low sound, and said in surprise, "He knew about it during the water battle in Dongting?"

"Yes."

"Then, could it be... Could it be that he stabbed Brother Mo and didn't prevent me from taking the seriously injured him away, just to let me discover that Brother Mo's spirit core has been corroded by the Puppet Pill?"

Murong Lian nodded and said, "Most likely."

Mengze murmured: "At that time, I was able to realize that Brother Mo had been hit by the puppet pill precisely because I wanted to heal Brother Mo's spiritual core injury, so I tried my best to peel it off, but I didn't take this matter seriously." Reporting it to Junshang, I felt strange in my heart, after several investigations, I realized that it was the plot of Junshang..."

She turned her head to look at Gu Mang who didn't know the so-called at the moment, her face paled: "So at that time, you...you did it on purpose..."

When Gu Mang heard her talking about himself, he said in a daze, "What? What intentional?"

Mo Xi shook his head and said, "Impossible. I have read the letters between Gu Mang and the Lord, and he has been passing information to the Lord for five years. If he knows, why is he willing to continue offering black magic spells to the Lord?"

"Fireball, do you feel that Gu Mang's letters to Jun in the early days contained a lot of secrets about casting the black magic spell in the Liao Kingdom. But in the later period, he often only provided secret reports on the military and national conditions, but rarely talked about the black magic. technique?"

"..."

When Murong Lian said this, Mo Xi recalled the letters he had read at that time, and it turned out to be true.

Murong Lian said: "Gu Mang is very clear that if he is exposed, Murong Chen will silence him without hesitation, or just give up his chess piece, and then ask someone else to go to Liao Kingdom to search for secret techniques. So he Even though he already knew what kind of person Murong Chen was, he still held back and wrote letters to Jun Shangxiu as usual."

"It's just that after that, he was very careful. His letters to the king rarely talked about the art of black magic. Even if they did, they only wrote some things that seemed very confidential, but in fact they were not of much use."

Mo Xi: "...how did you know so clearly?"

Murong Lian stuffed shredded tobacco into the cigarette pouch, lit it, brought it to his lips and took a puff, amidst the light blue smoke he exhaled, he said in a deep voice, "Because these words were said to me by Gu Mang himself."

Mo Xi's expression changed suddenly, "When..."

"The day before he was sent back to the city as a peace ceremony."

"!"

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Murong Lian slowly said: "...Don't be too surprised, your majesty once entrusted me with handling Gu Mang. So the day before he returned to the city, I went out of the city by myself. I met him in private."

"On his way back?"

"On his way back, he was at the edge of Fushui."

"..."

"Everyone thinks that Gu Mang became the ghost he was at that time because Liao Guo hollowed out all his memories, shattered his spirit core, and emptied his two souls." Murong Lian paused, "Actually, it wasn't. of."

"The Liao Kingdom did destroy Gu Mang's consciousness in order to prevent him from leaking the secrets, but they did not destroy those memories that had nothing to do with the secrets of the Liao Kingdom. So, first of all, all Gu Mang's memories were not destroyed by the Liao Kingdom."

The officials were terrified: "What?!"

"It's not the Liao Kingdom?!"

"That's right. Second, it is said that Gu Mang's two souls were taken away by the Liao Kingdom. This is also false. Gu Mang's soul was not taken away by anyone, but was taken out by himself and made into it." Use. He donated it himself, and has nothing to do with the Liao Kingdom."

This sentence is even more shocking than the previous sentence. If the previous sentence was just a ripple, this sentence has become a huge wave.

Mo Xi took a step back, and his already thin lips were even more bloodless: "How... is it possible? Why is he..."

"Your Majesty should know why he did this." Murong Lian glanced at Murong Chen, "Let's stop talking about this, we have a third thing to talk about—"

"Thirdly, the place where Gu Mang lost his last memory was by the Fushui River. The erasure of all his memories is actually all thanks to our Chonghua Monarch!"

Murong Chen's gaze was like a vulture: "Murong Lian, how long are you going to confuse people with evil words?!"

Murong Lian said lightly: "I knew you would say that. This is also the reason why you wanted to assassinate me before. There is no way, who let the person you sent to give him Wangyou San..."

Murong Lian paused, raised his peach blossom eyes and said, "It's me."

Murong Chen: "..."

"I have always regarded Gu Mang as a thorn in my side. After learning of his treason, I felt very ashamed. I thought he had brought shame to the Wangshu Mansion, and wished I could get him to kill him. At that time, your majesty saw my state of mind and secretly summoned me to In front of the palace, tell me - Gu Mang is not actually a traitor, but a spy."

Mengze said softly: "You know his identity as a secret agent, why do you still hate him so much?"

"How can it be so simple." Murong Lian sneered, "Your Majesty told me that Gu Mang went out as a secret agent back then, but he was halfway undercover. Gu Mang made a request. He became the master of Wangshu Mansion."

"...Gu Mang would never mention such a price."

"But how did I know at the time." Murong Lian rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty caught my guard and told me that he did not agree to Gu Mang's condition. Gu Mang's request to replace me was rejected. Your Majesty refused, resentment arose in his heart, and in the end the false rebellion turned into real rebellion, and he has been working for the Liao Kingdom since then, taking revenge on Chonghua."

Chong Hua knew that Murong Lian had bullied Gu Mang very badly in the past. Your Majesty fabricated a lie, saying that Gu Mang had malicious intentions, and wanted to use the opportunity of asking for credit to bring down the former lord. This is only logical. matter.

And as the head of Wangshu Mansion, what mood will Murong Lian feel when he hears this news?

Murong Lian said: "When I heard about this, I was naturally angry. But I also felt strange, since Gu Mang has become a true traitor, why did the Liao Kingdom send him back as a peace negotiation gift?"

Mo Xi glanced at Jun Shang, and asked Murong Lian, "What did he say?"

"No water leaks. He said that he couldn't tolerate Gu Mang's behavior, so he secretly wrote a book to the master of the Liao Kingdom, telling the Liao Lord Gu Mang's original identity when he went to Liao Kingdom, and said that Gu Mang had stolen many secrets of the Liao Kingdom. Liao Guo then felt that this person was double-faced and scheming, and his intentions were extremely dishonest, so he should not be retained, so he was sent back."

Murong Lian took another puff of Life Like a Dream, and continued: "Murong Chen told me at the time that Gu Mang was a covetous person who was afraid of death, and before Liao Guo had even started to arrest him, he had already sensed their intentions. Bao, Gu Mang once wrote a letter to Jun, saying that he had figured out the secret room of Liao Guoyun's blood refining monster, and saw the cub of the blood monster inside. He was willing to seal its power with the power of his soul, and secretly brought Dedicate it back to the king, I only hope that I can spare him from death."

"At that time, I completely believed his words, and I hated Gu Mang to the extreme. In anger, I asked Your Majesty, are we going to agree to this traitor's request like this?"

"Your Majesty answered me that Gu Mang has been tempered by the black demon. If he kills him rashly, he will turn into some kind of evil spirit that has never been seen before. He must not do it like this. So he really agreed to Gu Mang's promise." proposed, and he asked me to do two things—”

"The first thing is, he wants me to meet Gu Mang secretly before the escort team enters the city, and ask him to hand over the soul box that seals the power of the blood monster."

Mo Xi asked, "What about the second thing?"

"The second one. He gave me a pill, saying that Gu Mang was born in poverty and came to a high position, so we can see how cunning he is by nature. Although he cannot be killed considering the mutation of the black devil, if he is sane, he will definitely He will try to spread rumors with the people around him... jailers, guards, etc. With Gu Mang's tongue, he can create anything, so he must let his consciousness be completely destroyed and his memory lost - this pill is for I made it out of this. After he got me the blood demon beast soul box presented by Gu Mang, I immediately gave him the pill."

As Mo Xi listened, his fingertips sank into his palms, and as the truths of the past surfaced, the veins of the spider's threads spewed out by the Lord were clearly visible, enveloping them like a net of heaven and earth.

Mo Xi whispered, "But after you saw Gu Mang, didn't Gu Mang tell you the truth..."

"He did say a few words. Let me not trust your majesty too much. But who do you think I would trust at that time?"

"..."

"What's more, when I saw Gu Mang, maybe the guards in charge of escorting him lynched him. His mind was very blurred, and there was a fresh scar on his chest, which was still bleeding out. He had no strength at all. Talk to me too much, and I've passed out."

Murong Lian paused, and continued: "However, there was one thing that made me feel strange at the time, that is, besides giving me the soul box that sealed the power of the blood monster, he also gave me another thing, so that I could do it no matter what. You must keep them well, and then find an opportunity to destroy them, and you must never let your majesty know about it."

Murong Mengze asked: "What did he give you?"

Murong Lian didn't answer immediately, but looked at Murong Chen who was on the high seat.

"Your Majesty, you took great pains to get Mo Xi to bring you a piece of blood monster remnant soul from Daze City, so that you can refine this monster with the body of a bird-beaked dog. It must be the blood that Gu Mang dedicated to you back then. Magical Beast Power Soul Box, you haven’t opened it after playing for so many years, right?”

He said with a sneer, "Do you know why you can't open it?"

At this moment, Murong Chen also knew that it would be useless to pretend, so he said coldly, "Why?"

Murong Lian exhaled smoke, and said calmly: "Because the soul box that Gu Mang forged with a strand of his own soul was different. He adjusted it himself, and to open it, he needed a key."

Mengze asked in surprise, "Is that what Gu Mang asked you to keep back then?"

"That's right." Murong Lian said, "At that time, I was careful and never mentioned this matter to anyone."

When Murong Lian said this, he almost looked at Murong Chen coldly.

"Your Majesty, you can't open the soul box that you have obtained so hard. It must have been studied for a long time but you can't find the way. Fortunately, I am suspicious by nature, and I know that you are a treacherous person, so I didn't believe you completely. In [-], you should turn all the people in Chonghua into wooden puppets."

Murong Chen clenched his silver teeth, stared at him, and burst into a series of long, stern smiles.

"Murong Lian...Murong Lian, it turns out that you didn't believe in me or Gu Mang...hahahaha...!"

Murong Lian said indifferently: "Yes."

"Then who have you ever trusted in your life?!"

Murong Lian said lightly: "I'm the same as you, Murong Chen. Both of us are that kind of people - we don't believe in anyone but ourselves."

He said, his eyes were indifferent and distant: "Your farce should come to an end. Let go of your big dream of unifying Kyushu, I have already destroyed the key that Gu Mang gave me."

Murong Chen couldn't stop laughing, and after circling for a long time, he stared at Murong Lian with red eyes.Then, his eyes wandered over one by one, from Mo Xi, to Gu Mang, to Murong Mengze... and even the officials.

In the end, his eyes were like a ghost, and he said solemnly: "Murong Lian, do you think that Gu Mang has studied for so many years, but he really didn't get the second solution, can you open Gu Mang's sealed power soul box?"
