Yu Wu

Seeing that Jiang Yexue was safe, Mo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again: "You still ask me. What happened to you?"

Jiang Yexue smiled and said, "What can I do."

"..."

The door of the house was not closed, and the floor was in a mess. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like it was all right.

Jiang Yexue saw what he meant after the silence, and explained with a smile: "Oh, the mess in the room is because my newly made puppet had some problems, which made the house a mess and broke a lot of decorations." He glanced at He glanced at the little pottery figurine with half of its head missing, and said, "Look, this one was broken just now."

"...So that's how it is." Mo Xi coughed lightly, "Sorry, I thought it was Mr. Murong..."

Jiang Yexue's eyelashes suddenly lifted up: "Did you see Chu Yi?"

"Yeah." Mo Xi said, "On the way I came, I happened to see him walking outside. I thought he came to look for you and had some trouble with you."

"..." Jiang Yexue covered her mouth with her sleeve, coughed twice, and said with a faint smile, "Really?...I haven't seen him before."

As he spoke, he tugged at the loose edge of the bathrobe as if he was afraid of the cold, and draped the snow-white bathrobe upright.Then stretched his arms, tied up his long hair, fastened it with a sapphire hair button, and gathered it into a loose ponytail.

Jiang Yexue was originally born with infinite elegance, her eyebrows and eyes are as soft as catkins floating on the water in spring, and her skin is as white as the new snow on the river in winter night. At this time, she is freshly bathed, and she is like a hot field soaked in hot spring water. Meiyu can easily soothe all doubts and anxieties by him.

"There are a lot of books on refining weapons in the academy, and my uncle should come here to borrow books, not to see me." He paused, then asked with a smile, "Also, it's so late, I didn't expect There will be guests coming, and the house has been messed up like this, but I went to take a bath first, which made Xihe Jun laugh."

Mo Xi said, "I'm sorry. I'm the one bothering you."

"You and I are fateful brothers, so don't bother me." Jiang Yexue looked him up and down before suddenly asking, "Did Xihe Jun come here tonight for Brother Gu?"

"……how do you know."

Jiang Yexue looked away from Mo Xi's hairband, and crossed his slender fingers on his knees. Instead of pointing out the mistakes in their hairbands, he lowered his eyelashes and said with a warm smile, "Can you?" Apart from military affairs, the only one who makes you so anxious is your good brother."

Mo Xi was silent for a while, then raised his hand and cast a sound barrier, so that the conversation between the two of them could not be heard by the third person.Then he looked straight at Jiang Yexue with a serious expression.

"I brought something." After a pause, he asked again, "Do you still remember what I told you on Bat Island, that I found some strange past events in the time mirror?"

"remember."

"I found a clue, it's related to Gu Mang's treason case eight years ago."

"Really." Jiang Yexue asked, "What is it?"

Mo Xi stepped forward, put the Qiankun pouch with black background and gold thread on the table next to Jiang Yexue, and said, "Jade slips."

Jiang Yexue was calm at first, but when he heard it, his eyes widened suddenly, and the blood on his face faded suddenly, he could hardly believe it: "You... did you steal the jade slips containing history?"

Mo Xi didn't say a word about "stealing the jade slips". He pursed his lips, lowered his head and pulled the ribbon from the Qiankun pouch, and poured out some fragments on the table.The jade slips carrying history glowed faintly, and they were spread in front of Jiang Yexue in fragments.

"The jade slip was destroyed." Mo Xi said succinctly, "It shows that someone really wanted to erase what happened in Chonghua back then."

Jiang Yexue was stunned for a while, leaned back in the wheelchair, and murmured: "...Mo Xi, you are simply crazy..."

-

At the same time, Xihe Mansion.

Li Wei's shrewd and cunning face glistened under the light of the plum blossom copper lamp.He smiled contemptuously, just in time to persuade the wave of visitors who were stuck in the hall of Xihe Mansion with good words.

These people are dressed in gold-rimmed robes with a purple background and embroidered with bird totems. The leading man is in his early thirties, with a stern expression. Because he loves to frown, there are some fine folds between his brows at a young age. In addition, his lips are thin and his eyes are cold. She looked extremely unkind, and her whole body exuded an aura that strangers should not get close to.

He is the elder of Sishutai, Zhou He.

Everyone in Chonghua knows that Zhou He is a bit perverted.He is very interested in the spells of various countries. He is willing to study no matter the right way or the evil way, or the black magic magic, and the research methods are also unscrupulous, from the serious theoretical exploration to the bloody and dark dissection. Come to think of it, he's done it all.The reason why he didn't become one of Chonghua's three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance is because he still had Murong Chuyi who was not recognized by his relatives in front of him.

It means that although Zhou He is ruthless, at least he will still follow the rules.His Majesty refused to move his head, but he was still able to hold it back with difficulty.So at this moment, when the surname Zhou came to Xihe Mansion, the matter might not end so easily.

Li Wei took the tea tray prepared by the maid, nodded and smiled, and sent it to Elder Zhou's desk: "Elder, drink tea and eat some fruit snacks."

Zhou He didn't say a word, subconsciously stroking a black dagger on his waist with his fingers.

Li Wei lowered his eyes and glanced, his heart pounding.Don't look at this dagger as ugly as a poker, but anyone who knows the goods knows that this is the most beloved treasure of Elder Zhou of the Sishutai—the mighty "Falcon" who has picked countless people's brains and opened countless hearts. .

How many spells Chonghua had was obtained by Zhou He by relying on this "Falcon".

Some people say that the Zhou family is a vulture, seeking out the secrets of spells from the pile of dead people, but Zhou He just sneered at this, saying that the dead are not necessary, and many spells can only be discovered when the prisoner is alive. Don’t believe me, try it yourself?

Gold border on purple background, bird totem.

The Zhou family is not only a carrion vulture, but also a chonghua falcon, with delicate eyes, pecking out the secrets of the enemy's spells from the blood, and presenting them to the king.

Li Wei said: "Elder Zhou, this tea is brewed in the rain and dew of Cuilin Mountain..."

Zhou He interrupted the conversation impatiently: "When will Mr. Xihe come back?"

"...Wait a little longer, the little one has already sent someone to report to the Lord, and soon—"

Zhou He took out a delicate water hourglass from his arms and slapped it on the table. He rolled his eyelids and said, "You said similar things a mark ago. My Zhou is the most time-sensitive in doing things. You give I'm sure. Xi and Jun won't be able to come back within an hour."

"This……"

"Don't worry about it here and there. The black demon Gu worms on the operator's platform were prepared yesterday, and they are waiting for the trial body to go back to the trial with me. Now it's all right, the trial body is back, but I can't just take people away , I still have to wait for you Lord Xihe to come back."

He narrowed his eyes: "Just wait, I, Mr. Zhou, for the sake of Xihe's high status, I will buy him some face. But I can only spend an hour at most--Listen to Butler Li, Gu Mang is the trial body promised to me by the king himself. At that time, Lord Xihe took him back to the mansion and only took him in temporarily. Gu Mang is a traitor after all. He was appointed by the king to be the most suitable black devil trial The target... I have searched for the black demon Gu worms for so long, and finally found them all." Zhou He pulled Li Wei's lapel, full of menace, "I don't have that much patience to wait any longer."

Suddenly pushed Li Wei.

Zhou He raised his legs and said coldly, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes." Li Wei swallowed, glanced at the scale of the hourglass, and said in a low voice, "I understand..."

shit!

Everyone knows that Gu Mang is going to be used by Chonghua for the Dark Demon Trial, but your grandma's legs, did you say it's today? !

You sneaked around and made all the preliminary preparations without warning, and suddenly came to pick someone up. As usual, there is no reason to stop you, old man, but you should at least come to talk when Mr. Xihe is at the mansion. ah?

Without Mr. Xihe, who dares to hand over Gu Mang!

The only person who didn't fit in with the tense atmosphere in the room was Gu Mang who was sitting in the corner of the hall.

As Zhou He's selection object, Chonghua's Black Demon Trial Body, he is an old god, and he didn't panic at all.When Zhou He entered the mansion, he had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed, but now he couldn't fall asleep, so he sat on a chair in a loose bathrobe, his long black hair hung down his cheeks, and he was leaning on the side, looking at the The group of vultures in front of them.

He looked very quiet, obedient as a tempered person should be.It's just that this kind of obedience in the past was real, but now this kind of obedience is just pretending.

After he came out of the mirror of time and space, although most of his memory has recovered, there are still some very crucial things that he can't remember.And the lack of these memories is like a piece of fluent poetry, without the most important rhyme, making it impossible for him to understand his current situation.

Gu Mang could remember that he was indeed the subject of the black demon trial by the king, but in fact, according to his memory, he didn't quite understand why things turned into this situation today.

But he has plans in his heart, he knows what he wants to insist on, and he can bear it.

"Go quickly, and then report to the Lord." Li Wei anxiously urged the mansion's sound transmission boy.

The servant was more anxious than him, with beads of sweat on his forehead: "I have passed on seventeen or eight, but I can't find the trace of the Lord!"

Li Wei was so angry that he paced back and forth, sneaking glances at the sullen Zhou He for a while, and at the indifferent Gu Mang for a while, feeling that no matter which side he offended, he would be able to drink a good pot.He circled several times on the same spot like a spinning top, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Come here! Come here quickly, I have a solution." Li Wei waved his hand to call the sound transmission boy.The boy thought he had some good idea, so he opened his eyes wide and waited for the voice, but he heard Steward Li mysteriously whispered four big words in his ears, "Send it again."

"..."

The servant was not without embarrassment and said: "Butler Li, I have told you about it seventeen or eight times just now, but..."

"You're such a pig!" Li Wei stretched out his finger and poked the boy's head wildly, "I didn't tell you about Xihe Jun!"

"Then who else can pass it on?"

"Princess Mengze!" Li Wei was almost overwhelmed by his wit in throwing the blame. If Gu Mang was taken away, no one would be responsible, only Princess Mengze could bear it.Li Wei then urged, "Move the rescuers, move the rescuers! Quickly transmit the sound to Princess Mengze!"

When the servant heard this, his eyes lit up, wishing he could immediately give Li Wei a thumbs up.

High, Manager Li is really tall!Seeing that Gu Mang was raised by the master in the mansion like a concubine, although the master hates this concubine, everyone who is not blind in Xihe's mansion can still see that Mo Xi cares about Gu Mang. confused.Now that Zhou He is going to sneak away Gu Xiaoqie, who in the whole house can bear this responsibility?

There is only one person, the eldest wife of the main house.

Regardless of whether Mengze has been married or not, she is the unshakable Mrs. Xi Hejun in the eyes of everyone anyway, and she once showed great kindness to Mr. Xihe, so she is the only one who can be responsible for the way the "concubine" is handled.

So these two scumbags from Xihe Mansion seemed to have grasped the straw to save their lives, and began to happily transmit voices to Princess Mengze.Unexpectedly, before the sound transmission spirit butterfly flew out of the eaves, it was hit hard by a black light and landed on the ground.

Zhou He looked worried, raised his eyelids and stared at Li Wei: "Who are you reporting to?"

"Meng, Meng Ze Gong, Gong..."

Zhou He pointed at him with a falcon, and said: "Li Wei, you heard me clearly. Zhou is here to pick someone up today. I'm in the ward, not asking for permission. I won't even find someone for you. There is room for others to intercede."

Li Wei was pointed at by the Shenwu who took out the brains of countless people, and was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, elder—"

Zhou He turned his gaze away.

The room was silent, and the hour glass scale in Zhou He's hand was moving bit by bit.In this tense atmosphere that almost squeezed out all the internal organs, something suddenly made a strange sound of "chirp-hoo!".

The sound was actually not too loud, but it was too quiet in the hall, so it was extremely ear-piercing. For a while, everyone looked for the reputation, and saw that the one making the strange sound was the black dog lying at Gu Mang's feet. .

Fandou was probably as dull as its owner, who was sitting comfortably, and it was even more exaggerated, drooling and snoring while sleeping.Gu Mang thought it was funny, a pair of naked and pale feet stepped on its fluffy and soft fur, Fandou was trampled innocently in his sleep, let out a low cry of "woo", opened his dog's eyes and found that Gu Mang was talking to him After playing around, they closed their eyes and fell asleep again, let Gu Mang's icy jade-like toes sink into the depths of its dog fur, stepped on its stomach lightly, and rubbed its furry ears.

But not long after, Fandou seemed to sense something suddenly. He turned his ears back, opened his eyes and looked straight at the hall: "Woo—?"

At this time, a young servant ran in quickly, and Li Wei felt that Mo Xi had returned, and he was overjoyed, but when he took a closer look at the young servant's bewildered appearance, his little heart that had just relaxed was twisted into a mess again .

"what happened?"

"Report to Manager Li." The young servant said with a bitter face, "There is another group of people coming from outside."

"……Who?"

Before the boy could answer, that wave of people rushed into Xihe Mansion without permission, without rules, and swaggeringly.The dog-legged servant who cleared the way yelled at the top of his voice, "Wang Shu-jun arrived——!"
