Yu Wu

Even though he had already figured out what the King was thinking, Gu Mang's voice trembled suddenly when this sentence was really hit like a heavy hammer: "Why?!"

"Because the magic energy is quenched on this white piece, Lu Zhanxing's spiritual flow is no longer pure. How likely do you think Chonghua is to allow a person with black magic to live well?"

Your Majesty continued: "From ancient times to the present, these people who have been infected with the aura of the black devil were either dismembered by carts or tortured to death on the test platform. Do you want him to be cleared of his crimes and then be tortured so worthlessly?" When he dies, I still want his death to at least pave the way for Chonghua and you.”

Gu Mang: "..."

"Gu wants Chonghua to accept the slaves and understand the black devil." After a pause, Jun Shang said, "But the price is that only you and I know about Lu Zhanxing's injustice, and he must be sentenced."

A few more lights were extinguished in the strong wind, and the light of the Golden Terrace dimmed even more.

After hearing this sentence, Gu Mang raised his head slightly, as if he was holding back something wet in his eyes. After a while, he seemed not to want to continue arguing with the king, and said in a low voice, "...then... what's next? ? After sentencing, what should we do?"

"Next, the orphan will pave the way for your treason. After this year's autumn hunting, Lu Zhanxing will be executed as usual, and the remnants of your army will be detained. The orphan will not release even a single bit of soft-hearted slave monks. Signal——Guhui is very thorough, making all the civil and military officials in the court think that Gu finally chose the old gentry class, and letting everyone see that Gu is cutting your power, degrading you, and excluding you... Guhui will drive you to death Forced on the road."

"..."

"When Qiu Lie's killing is over, Gu will give you the last push, so that you have sufficient reasons to treason."

Gu Mang said, "Treason the country?"

"Treason the country."

Gu Mang smiled lowly, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke: "How far will you go to make people believe that Gu Mang will choose the most depraved and darkest one among the 28 countries in Kyushu? Liaoguo..." His smile tightened suddenly, and that handsome face at this moment even looked a bit ferocious because of hatred.

"What will I be forced to do to rebel against that absurd country that killed countless brothers and sisters of mine and burned the flames of war all over Kyushu?!"

Jun Shang said: "So Lu Zhanxing must die."

"If Lu Zhanxing hadn't died, no one would have thought that Gu Shuai, who was once all-powerful and loyal to the king and the country, would choose to walk towards the gate of the Liao Kingdom—only when Lu Zhanxing died would the seeds of hatred in your heart germinate, and everything would have a chance It seems logical." After a pause, he said again, "Gu Qing, think about it, if you keep Lu Zhanxing, what will you lose?"

"It looks as if he was wronged, and his injustice has been vindicated. But he is destined to be executed for being infected with the dark energy. You may think he died like this, at least seventy thousand graves and thirty thousand heroes of your army Can get a fair treatment, but Gu tells you, no."

Jun Shang's dark eyes seemed to be filled with deep clouds and thick mist, which was a kind of siege that was impossible to break through by one person.

"Once Lu Zhanxing dies, even if you want to rehabilitate your army, give rewards to your soldiers, and erect monuments, old nobles will immediately jump out and remonstrate with all kinds of strange reasons. There are even the most terrifying...they It will be said that Deputy Commander Lu is infected with the demonic energy, and there is no guarantee that there will be no infected people in the army. They would rather kill by mistake than let them go-they will even force Gu to kill all your remaining [-] siblings!"

"Gu Qing, your army is like an old house that has run out of water. If you can get something out of it, you will try your best to get something out. But Lu Zhanxing is where the fire fell, and he has been burned to death. Once the trash is gone, it can’t be snatched away.”

"I'm so sorry."

"..." Gu Mang paused for a long time, almost indifferently, "Okay. I understand. We are treasures, but a fire can turn your treasure into scum."

He raised his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you know what my army is to me?"

This is really an outrageous questioning, but your majesty did not refute it. On the contrary, his eyelashes were trembling, and his eyes were evasive and even desolate.

Gu Mang said: "They are my blood, my eyes, my hands and legs, my relatives and my life."

"No matter how precious a treasure is, it is useless if it is broken, and it will be ashes after being burned. But blood relatives are different, even if they die, even if they are burned, even if they are turned into ashes...they are in my heart There will always be a monument, and I will remember the names and appearances of each of them, until the day I die myself."

Your Majesty said: "Gu does not mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?" Gu Mang smiled at him softly and almost sadly, "Your Majesty, you said that we are your treasures, but treasures are not living things after all, we are living things Human! I have shed blood for you, shed tears for Chonghua, I have served you, I have worked hard—even died... I don’t know if you are aware of it?"

Step by step, he chased so tightly, as if the [-] dead men had turned into ghosts, snatched his home, and attached themselves to him alone.

They are demanding a debt from their lord.

"Gu Shuai..." Your Majesty's complexion slowly turned gray, but finally he raised his head and looked into Gu Mang's eyes, "I can always see it."

"But for one person's reputation, is it worth paying 3 lives, 7 honors, and the future of all slave monks in Huahua?"

Gu Mang's shoulders trembled, his lips trembled, he wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything.

He is an incomparable general, so he naturally knows that what the king said is right.

Junyan is ruthless, but it is the most correct path with the least sacrifice, it's just...how can he nod his head, how can he let go...

"That day in the Golden Temple, you knelt in front of Gu and begged to set up a monument for your dead men, and let your remnants live, and Gu scolded you for wishful thinking-but now standing in front of you, Gu can swear to God, never I failed Deputy Commander Lu’s sacrifice in vain. I can promise you that everything you asked for that day, except Lu Zhanxing’s life—the [-] tombstones you asked for, and the belongings of your [-] remnants, Guquan can give you.”

Junshang said: "I can even promise you that I will let you see a future where everyone, regardless of the hero's background, is fair."

Gu Mang took a step back, he shook his head, the king's promise was too heavy, it made him almost hunched over.It took him a while to murmur hoarsely: "...False words..."

"I never lie."

Gu Mang was about to be driven crazy. He suddenly raised his head and looked like a sharp sword out of its sheath. His eyes were red and he yelled angrily at Jun Shang, "Liar!!!"

Thunder was furious.

In the turbulent wind and thunderstorms, the blind beast with its claws and claws was disturbed by sticks and honey, so it didn't know what to believe.It roared at its tame master, banging its cage.

Mo Xi closed his eyes, the body that bears the pain of repairing the jade slip, but the pain is not as painful as a heart that is curled up and drained of blood.

Beast on the Altar... Beast on the Altar...

In the past, others said that this was Gu Shuai's good reputation spread all over the world, but now, Mo Xi only saw a bloody, skinned animal trapped in a cage and howling.

The king's livestock, Chonghua's livestock, it is so painful because of the suffering of its siblings, but the people who keep it tear off its skin, and want to wrap a new layer of leather on its bloody body, they want to It is sent to other countries, and it endures the pain to burn the last ray of light and heat.

Amidst the sound of the torrential rain, Junshang stood upright, as if there was some kind of power that was born to belong to the king to support him, so that he could not flinch or dodge in front of such strong emotions as Gu Mang.

Although his face was a little ugly.

But he still endured.

"Do you think you can feel at ease when Gu makes such a decision?" After a moment of silence, Jun Shang finally asked in a low voice, "Do you think that when Gu falls into Zhongliang, can you feel at ease?"

"..."

"Do you think that Gu tortured the most remarkable general of Gu's men until he was bruised all over and drove him to another country? Do you think that Gu is standing here today, standing on the golden platform under the thunderbolt, and saying this to you personally? Can a single sentence make you feel at ease!!" At the end of the sentence, Jun Shang's voice became louder and louder, his fingertips were trembling, and the light in his eyes was also trembling, "Gu Qing...you once said that Fengming Mountain 7 people died in one battle, and you saw [-] innocent souls collecting debts from you day and night, accusing you of insulting you, spurning you and asking you why..."

His voice trembled violently, every single word was squeezed out from between his teeth, all stained with blood: "Do you think these sights... can't be seen by a single person?!"

Gu Mang raised his eyes, almost feeling absurd: "What can your majesty see?"

"Your Majesty, can you see the [-] treasures being broken? Or can you see the mud servants with similar facial features being destroyed one by one?"

Crazy, really crazy.

Disrespectful words were blurted out, his arms were cut off and his heart was gouged out, Gu Mang actually dared to stab Long Yan with any words.

"Your Majesty keeps saying that he treats us as human beings, and keeps saying that he can see my lost brothers and your dead officials... But you are grieving that your iron army lost [-] people. What you are distressed about is a number, a group of heroes, isn't it? I feel sorry for each of them who are alive!"

With the last throw, there was wind and rain outside the golden stage, and there was silence on the golden stage.

After a long time, Jun Shang tightly closed his eyes, then opened them again.His lips pursed once, as if he wanted to say something, but he closed it again... After a while, his throat was blocked, and he said three inexplicable words in a soft and sad voice——

"Xu Xiaomao."

Just these three words.Gu Mang froze.

Gu Mang's fingers that were trembling due to anger seemed to be frozen by black ice. He was almost motionless, staring at Jun Shang's face in disbelief, as if he felt that it must be his own illusion, he must have heard it wrong Only then did I hear such a humble and ridiculous name from the mouth of the Son of Heaven, his Brother Paoze.

But such names came out from the lips of the emperor one after another, clearly, sadly, and solemnly.

"Lan Yufei, Jin Cheng, Sun He, Luo Chuan..." Jun Shang uttered the names one after another, without him saying a single one, Gu Mang could see the brother's voice and smile before his eyes.

A man who loves to drink burning knives.

Uncle with a big mole on the bridge of his nose.

A little girl who always loses every bet and never changes her mind after repeated admonitions.

There are also brats who recklessly squeezed into the army at the age of fifteen or sixteen with a green face.

Gu Mang bowed his body amidst these evocative whispers, buried his face in his palms, inserted his fingers into his hair, and choked up, "Stop talking..."

"Qin Fei, Zhao Sheng, Wei Ping..."

Qin Fei's hearty laughter seemed to return to his ears through life and death.

Zhao Sheng once ran to his camp on a certain night of the garrison and gave him a pot of brewed sweet wine brought from the town, which was still warm in his bosom.

Wei Ping, who is already in his thirties, looks tender, and when he smiles, he has two sweet canine teeth. He grinned wildly and domineeringly when he asked himself to stay behind in Fengming Mountain, but Gu Mang and this The guy's last parting.

Who will remember the names of these people... who will remember...? ! !

Gu Shuai...

Gu Shuai...

Live as a hero, die as a ghost...

No no, these are all false, I only hope that you can come back safely from every battle, no one would want their brother to be mourned after being shrouded in horse leather.

"Don't read anymore..." Gu Mang hugged his head in pain, he knelt down on his knees, he almost collapsed and howled like a trapped animal, "Stop talking! Stop talking!!"

"I remember them too."

"..."

Your Majesty stopped reading. He walked up to Gu Mang, looked at the man who buried himself in the dust and curled up in the sand in front of him, and whispered again: "Gu Mang, I also remember."

When he said this, he didn't even call himself an orphan.

"I'm sorry, I'm not like you who have been with them day and night, and can remember their age, appearance, preferences... everything. But since I received the letter of death in Fengming Mountain, I have been remembering their memories name."

Gu Mang's cold forehead pressed against the ground in embarrassment, his tears rolled down his cheeks, he whimpered and howled...

He really broke down.

He couldn't bear the wounds all over his body, and managed to relieve the pain himself, licked the blood, and managed to appear in front of others pretending nothing had happened, but the king violently tore apart his freshly congealed flesh and blood, and the bright red blood and The flesh scrambled to be turned out, the pain was excruciating, the pain was excruciating... the pain was so painful that I was about to die!

"I thought to myself at the time." Your Majesty said, "Even if I can't erect a heroic inscription for them, I still want to bury these names in my heart... Gu Shuai, every day and every night, I will always remember it. I'm sorry , there are only such and such difficult things, difficult actions..."

He held Gu Mang's arm, supported Gu Mang, and made Gu Mang raise his head slowly.

Your Majesty's eye sockets were also moist.

"But please believe in Gu. In his life, Gu has never, and will never, regard you as running dogs and slaves."

Obviously, it was just such a simple and ordinary sentence.No praise, no praise.But Gu Mang cried bitterly. He knelt, staggered, and broke away from the Lord's hand. He came to the edge of the golden platform, looked at the majestic green hills, and the insignificant sky. His wailing sound seemed to come from his throat. It was dug out of the tube, and it was covered with dripping blood.

The torrential rain instantly swallowed his cries, and the country was full of wind and rain.Gu Mang seemed to be exhausted, he put his head against the railing, his shoulders trembled, his eyes were flushed and his nose was flushed, and he couldn't say anything.

After a long time, Junshang slowly walked to his side, his lips moved lightly, and he said in a low voice: "Gu Qing, are you trustworthy now? Your words are sincere, and I never lied to you."

"Gu can even swear to the sky." He put his two fingers up on his forehead, which was Chonghua's oath.

On the golden stage where the lightning flashed for almost nine days, Chonghua's new king made a promise to Chonghua's important ministers.

"If Gu Shuai agrees to Gu's request today, Gu will fulfill three important tasks as promised. First, Gu Shuai's [-] remnants will be treated properly. Third, the [-] heroic souls sacrificed in Fengming Mountain will be buried in the Mountain of War Soul with national ceremonies, and a stele will be erected. If there is one of the above three things, if one breaks the promise, the lonely general will have the filial piety of life without heirs, and will die without burial In this land, Chonghua Guozuo will be destroyed by a lonely hand, and in this lonely life, he will be a sinner through the ages." After a pause, the last few words fell from between his teeth.

"In life and death, there will never be peace."

The author has something to say:
