Yu Wu

Chapter 186 Battle

It was getting dark, Gu Mang and Mo Xi walked side by side in the dilapidated Chonghua Palace.

What Murong Chen had done in these years was shared among the crowd, like a Chinese robe being turned over, revealing the dense lice underneath, it was so ugly that it was hard to look at it carefully.A king's capital also fell into chaos and darkness because of his madness.Today's palace is full of brick fragments, broken wood and tiles.

The two were walking on the main path, and Mo Xi asked: "After the soul box was broken, who melted your two souls back? Murong Lian?"

Gu Mang shook his head and said, "Su Yurou. Just Jiang Fuli's wife."

"It was her..."

"Yeah. But her mind has been very heavy these days, probably because Jiang Yaoshi has been missing."

"It stands to reason that Chonghua has had such a big incident, no matter how much he wanders around, he should be back in time."

"Yeah, unfortunately not." Gu Mang sighed, "Otherwise, the devilish energy in the city could be controlled more thoroughly. Now Su Yurou can only support it by herself, but her medical skills are not as good as Jiang Fuli's."

Mo Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Mengze once said that there is a hermit medicine cultivator in Lin'an who even masters the art of rebirth, I wonder if he can—"

Gu Mang interrupted him: "It's too late."

His words were faint, as if he had no passion for the hermit medicine cultivator that Murong Mengze said, and Mo Xi could see that his indifference was not only because the blood monster was about to be born, but because he himself had a deep love for dreams. Ze's tales were of no interest at all.He didn't even suspect that even if there was time, Gu Mang would not ask about the whereabouts of Mengze, a hermit.

"Do you think what Mengze said may not be reliable?"

Gu Mang paused, then smiled and said, "I didn't say that."

Seeing that Mo Xi wanted to ask something more, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the ruins of the Golden Luan Temple in front of him: "By the way, look at that." Then he pulled Mo Xi and ran over.

It turned out to be the Golden Beast Smoker in the main hall, the kind that Murong Lian deliberately hit to flatter Murong Chen in the past.

Xiao Jinlu was lying in the ruins, still shouting with all his might: "Your Majesty, the blessings are as good as the heavens."

Gu Mang let out a long sigh when he heard this, feeling a little embarrassed.Finally said: "Murong Chen's request is still too much after all."

Mo Xi said: "I don't know who will be the king of Chonghua after Liao Kingdom is defeated."

"Brother Lian definitely can't. He just said that he is not in good health and has been destroyed by Floating Life. After everything is over, he wants to go to the Linyi fief to recuperate. ... But this kind of thing can't be rushed, People have their own destiny, each country has its own luck, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don’t worry.”

When Gu Mang said this, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But you just said you defeated the Liao Kingdom——do you really believe that we can win?"

Mo Xi raised his eyes, his eyes were calm and gentle: "With you, I can win anything."

There was a glint in Gu Mang's eyes, and he raised his hand and tapped Mo Xi's chest: "Haha, thank you for trusting me. Yes, I also think that I will definitely win. In terms of understanding of blood monsters, which one of you They are not as good as me, so when we fight tomorrow, you must listen to me, this time I am the coach."

Mo Xi looked at his smug look, and couldn't help raising his hand to lightly poke his forehead.

"...you will always be my coach."

Gu Mang smiled, a little flamboyant and a little shy.

"But speaking of it." After a while, Gu Mang said, "I always feel that Su Yurou...she seems a little weird."

"How to say?"

"Back then, the sword demon Li Qingqian was causing trouble. He said that the Liao State Master went mad because of the marriage of the peerless beauty Su Yurou. He found more than a hundred women who looked similar to Su Yurou and sacrificed them all to the mountain. What did the Liao State Master say at that time... What's so great about Su Yurou, he can have as many people with this appearance as he wants."

Mo Xi nodded and said, "Indeed, Li Qingqian's best friend, Miss Hong Shao, was also killed because of this."

"Yeah." Gu Mang stroked his chin, "But Mo Xi, have you thought about a question?"

"what?"

"Think about it, if an ordinary woman, her ex-lover came to her country, what would she feel like?"

Mo Xi pondered: "Maybe I will try to deliver a letter to the other party to plead for mercy."

"anything else?"

"No matter how bad it is, I will be restless, and I don't know how to face that man."

"What you said is not wrong at all." Gu Mang said, "but Mrs. Su is not like that at all. She doesn't seem to care what Liao Guo Guoshi is doing at the moment, she doesn't care at all, but has been sending people to inquire about it. The whereabouts of Pharmacist Jiang."

"Perhaps it's because she and Liao Guo Guoshi are in the past, and she is now Jiang Fuli's wife, so naturally she is concerned about Jiang Fuli's safety."

Gu Mang stretched out a finger and shook it: "Incorrect."

He said, and pinched Mo Xi's cheek with a smile: "As for you, the moral bottom line is too high, and people are always judged by human relations. Yes, there is nothing wrong with Su Yurou being Jiang Fuli's wife, and neither do I. It is human nature to think that she will betray Jiang Fuli. But if it is true that Su Yurou had such a deep entanglement with another man, as Li Qingqian thinks, then no matter whether she is already a wife or a mother, it will be difficult for her to do so again. When she saw this man and wanted to make an enemy of this man, she couldn't ignore him in her heart."

"..."

"But Su Yurou doesn't care." Gu Mang said, "As far as I can see these days, she has only two emotions towards the national teacher, one is fear, and the second is disgust."

Gu Mang shook his head: "This is not a good attitude to face old friends."

Mo Xi looked at his serious look, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "How do you know other girls' emotions?"

"Actually, this has nothing to do with being a man or a woman, it's just a kind of human nature." Gu Mang paused after saying this, "Hey, let me tell you this, you thought I was a traitor, before the Dongting water battle, Do you know how you feel when you are about to see me after treason?"

Mo Xi: "..."

"It can't be fear or just disgust, can it?"

Naturally so.

Mo Xi can still recall that mood very clearly even now, it was extremely painful and longing, when he woke up and dreamed, he was Gu Mang's figure, as if he was infiltrated by the tenderness of the past, but also wanted to be obscured by the uncertain future.

Mo Xi lowered his eyelashes and sighed: "I understand what you mean."

"So there's something wrong with Mrs. Su."

"Ah."

Gu Mang said: "There are three possible reasons why she is not right. First, Mrs. Su has some secrets related to Master Liao that others do not know. Second, Mrs. Su has never responded to Master Liao. Master was so crazy at the beginning, it was all his own unreasonable imagination."

"And the third one?"

"Third." Gu Mang said, "Li Qingqian may have misunderstood Liao Guoshi's actions back then. His interpretation of the relationship between the two was wrong from the very beginning."

Mo Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Gu Mang rubbed his chin, and continued, "Actually, I'm more inclined to the third possibility. Because when we subdued Li Qingqian, he saw Su Yurou's true face, and she whispered a few secret words to him. , the sword demon Li Qingqian collapsed and dissipated. I think the third possibility is greater than the first two guesses. It is precisely because Su Yurou destroyed Li Qingqian's cognition of obsession at the beginning, so as the sword demon, He would feel that everything is too ridiculous, so his will collapsed and reduced to ashes. Otherwise, with just a face and a few words, why did she defeat his reason?"

Mo Xi thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Mang was about to continue to say something, when he suddenly heard thunder and roaring in the distance, he couldn't help turning his head to look——

"not good!"

I saw that high above the sky, suddenly there was a large swirl of dense clouds gathering, and the center of the whirlpool rolled out by the black cloud was thunderously flashed, as if a hole had been torn in the sky, the pale light was like the blood of the vault, shining Looking at the military camp where the Liaojun stationed in the outer suburbs, in the white light that was enough to illuminate the abyss, countless small black spots floated up from the Liaojun camp and flew towards the gap in the dome.

Gu Mang used the technique of longitudinal eyes to see exactly when those black spots were, his face turned blue all of a sudden and was extremely ugly.

"...Damn it, that's the real blood monster rebirth ceremony." Gu Mang's lips moved, he stared at the black spots and said in a low voice, "Those floating in the air are living sacrifices, captured by Liao Kingdom Sphenoid beauty seat!"

Mo Xi was startled: "What?!"

They all know that the so-called sphenoid bone beauty seat is a race with ancient demon blood flowing from their bodies. However, after the war between gods and demons, the demon gate was permanently closed to the world, and this race that was abandoned in the world lost its demon energy. With support, the spiritual core gradually wears down, mana is lost, and it becomes no different from ordinary human beings, or even weaker.The only characteristic of the demons they possess is the furnace that is suitable for cultivation.

"Blood demonic beasts are evil beasts refined from the fragments of the ancient demon race, which require a large amount of demonic blood." Gu Mang said, "When I was in Liao Kingdom, I carefully read those fragments of blood demon beasts. This evil beast is all watered with the aura of the demons, and if a mortal wants to really refine this evil beast, he can only try to find something related to the demons in the world to sacrifice—and the most useful thing is, It’s the sphenoid beauty seat.”

Mo Xi asked: "That is to say... the blood monster was actually bred by living people with this special bloodline?"

"Almost." Gu Mang said, "It takes more than [-] beauties to refine a blood demon beast. Wasn't it because Li Qingqian's village was slaughtered because Liaoren was hunting for beauties everywhere? They planned it long time."

As he spoke, his dark blue pupils watched the situation change.

"It seems that Liaoguo wants to fight us before dawn, and we won't be able to survive until tomorrow." He said, tied up the blue and gold silk belt Murong Lian gave him, and a few strands of fine bangs hung down and fell down. On his hero's adornment.

"Let's go! Go lead the army!"

As he spoke, there was a thin smile on the corner of his mouth. I don't know if it was Mo Xi's illusion, but Gu Mang's blue eyes looked a little moist under the light of the blood demon beast.

Mo Xi looked at his expression, and a vague ominous feeling suddenly rose in his heart.He couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "...Gu Mang..."

He originally thought that Gu Mang wouldn't be able to hear this low call, even if he heard it, the low call was meaningless, and Gu Mang might not have any response.

But he was wrong.

Gu Mang turned his head, his blue eyes reflecting the fire in the distance, and stared at him for a moment.Then, Gu Mang suddenly grabbed Mo Xi's shoulders and hugged him tightly——

That hug carries many meanings, including love, intimacy, comfort, encouragement... and all the bright beliefs that Gu Mang promised Yimoxi in the past.This hug was so natural, as if there had never been those turbulent years of secret agents in the middle.

When Gu Mang let go of him, a sharp and domineering light shone on his handsome face.

"After this match, I want to invite brother Gu Mang to drink, and the best pear blossom, otherwise I will be unhappy."

Mo Xi was about to see his expression clearly, but he had already turned around, pulled him up, and rushed towards Dianjiangtai without saying a word.
