Yu Wu

Gu Mang trembled so much that he couldn't stop trembling, he had too little, he was obviously a famous general, but he kept asking the dignitaries for a little favor like a beggar. , ask for a recognition.Now the king threw all the things he begged for on him, and promised him everything.How could his spine continue to be straight?

Being proud and indestructible is the privilege of people like Mo Xi and Murong Lian, it was never his.

Your Majesty may also be well versed in this, so he was not in a hurry, he stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, waiting for Gu Mang to calm down slowly, waiting for Gu Mang to give in slowly, and slowly walk towards a dead end.

Waiting for the altar beast has no choice but to put on the bridle itself.

Sure enough, after a long time, Gu Mang raised his face, looking at the king in front of him with dark and moist eyes.

He was already at peace, but the light in his eyes had turned to embers, and his heart was ashes.

"Please Your Majesty..."

Finally he said softly: "Promise me one thing."

"You said."

"Zhan Xing...he shouldn't be kept in the dark. I want to go to the dungeon and tell him all the truth."

Your Majesty was silent for a while, closed his eyes and sighed: "Gu Qing, why do you—"

"Because I have a guilty conscience."

"...but he doesn't know the truth, that's the best choice, whether it's for you, Gu, or Zhonghua."

"No, he has to know. His sacrifice is already great enough, I beg you, at least this time... just think about it for him." Gu Mang closed his eyes in pain, tears oozed from his thick eyelashes, Suddenly, "He has been wronged. I can't save... I can't save him. But I can at least make him..."

The last few words, every single word is as cruel as a red-hot iron searing my heart.

"I can at least let him know that he never did anything wrong."

"At least I can let him die without... being wronged..."

After this sentence, the voice weakened and the figure faded away.

The scene in front of him slowly dimmed, and before the darkness engulfed the entire Golden Terrace, what Mo Xi saw was Gu Mang slowly kowtowing his head at Jun Shang.

It's not like surrender, it's an exhausting exhaustion.

It was dark in front of my eyes.

At the same time, a sharp pain exploded along Mo Xi's limbs!Zai Shiyujian began to draw power from his flesh and blood again, but Mo Xi felt that not only spiritual power had flowed from his body, but also his soul seemed to have been pulled out of his body and crushed into fine powder Flour.

But Mo Xi didn't feel any pain.

The conversation on the golden stage eight years ago still echoed in his ears, and Gu Mang's expression of extreme despair was still swaying in front of his eyes.

A night of rain, a game of intrigue, and a sacrifice.

Eight years of deception——

"Gu Qing, Gu needs someone. He must be loyal enough, brave enough, and smart enough. Gu needs such a person to break into the interior of the Liao Kingdom, deliver information for the Gu, and become a man who can be poured into the belly of the Liao Kingdom and the old nobles. poison."

"Are you willing to bear the burden for Chonghua's thigh?"

……

Would you like to... From now on, only one person in the sky and on the earth will know the truth.The people you guard spurn you, all your old minions misunderstand you, and the best friends of your life are against you.

You will take out a fiery heart and dedicate your life's blood, and everyone will only remember your betrayal and stigma.

Gu Qing, Gu Shuai, Gu Mang.

You can.

The sound seemed to be asking questions from the depths of the cloud, piercing the heart like the sound of heaven, piercing the heart like a sharp cone.

The sky is spinning in front of the eyes, and all the colors in the scene collapse like snowflakes and then gather together.Mo Xi kept falling in this shaky and restless fragment, like falling into a never-ending abyss.His eyes were wide open, and he didn't realize that he was crying until some burning moisture slipped from the end of his eyes.

It seems that the body is no longer his own, and the soul seems to be cut into two, fighting in the collapsed scene.All kinds of conversations with Gu Mang in the past came back to his mind at this moment, crushing him into ashes——

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

And he once scolded Gu Mang angrily: "When you killed countless brothers and sisters with bloody hands——Gu Mang, have you ever had even the slightest bit of regret?!"

Gu Mang said: "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 across the entire Kyushu?!"

And he once said: "You have more than one place to go if you want to treason, but you chose Liaoguo. What you want is revenge, for your ambition, for your comrades in arms, for your way out, you don't care about other people more Blood."

Gu Mang said: "They will always have a monument in my heart. I will remember each of their names and appearances until the day I die. They will never become scum."

But he once slapped his cheek, and a single word pierced Gu Mang's heart.

He said he...

Before he could think of that word, Mo Xi trembled uncontrollably. He felt the shocking viciousness of his words at that time.

But he said he was... dirty.

After Gu Mang lost his memory, he instinctively wanted to wear the heroic belt of Chonghua, and instinctively hoped that one day he would be able to avenge his grievances, and once again be able to stand in front of the soldiers of the three armies in an open and honest manner, and watch the armor shine in the sun.This was probably the only consolation for Gu Mang's years of undercover work.

All he had was this vain dream, an infatuated imagination.

But he thinks he is dirty.

"I should have it too... I should have it too..." The blue-eyed Gu Mang, who had lost his consciousness, fought for his silk belt, and the stubborn and sad voice seemed to be washed back into his heart after years. ears.

At that time, he slapped Gu Mang's face heavily, as if he had slapped it on his own face, and it hurt hotly.

How do you match.

...how do you match...! ! !

Mo Xi was amazed that he didn't cry bitterly at this moment, but could hold it back—he didn't even know if he was numb from the pain, or if he had really turned his heart into a stone in the despair after years .

On the golden platform, who knows the universe.

His limbs and bones seemed to be torn apart, the jade slip was gnawing at his soul, and there seemed to be a faint voice sounding from the depths of his skull, haunting him and questioning him endlessly.

Do you want to continue watching?Mo Xi, Xihe Jun.What is your heart made of?Why was he able to face the bloody past and the truth?

Every sentence was like a sharp knife cutting open his chest, but it seemed that his body was no longer his, with blood flowing all over his chest, and he didn't even think it was a big deal.

His eyes were wide open blankly, like a walking dead body.pain?die?Spiritual core collapse? ——These are no longer important, he just murmured——blame me for being iron or ice.

Let me read on.

I want to know everything, the hidden, swallowed, whitewashed truths.

Why did you hide it from me...why...before you took this path...even I was excluded...nothing was known...

Why? ! !Why……

Yu Jiansen said quietly: "Since the king's heart is like this, donate my flesh and blood——Minger's heart is regretful——"

There was a sharp throbbing pain in his chest, as if an invisible claw full of barbs had come in and grabbed his heart fiercely, the spiritual flow of the spiritual core began to escape like a burst——Jiang Yexue It has been said that if you forcefully read the jade slips that have not been fully restored, you will definitely consume the spiritual power of Tianyuan and suffer from the pain of cutting out bones and pulling out tendons.But at this moment, Mo Xi felt that the pain of cutting out bones and tendons was nothing more than that...it couldn't cover up the pain of the truth.

In this way, countless past years are like stratus clouds, dispersing and gathering in front of our eyes.

The golden table disappeared.

What reappeared in front of his eyes was the dark room.

This is what he saw in the time mirror, the cell where Lu Zhanxing stayed.

Yujian took him back to the cold hell where the sky was invisible and the earth was invisible.And as the scene in front of him became clear, a thick bloody smell welled up in Mo Xi's throat.

Enduring the dizziness in front of his eyes, he raised his eyes to see the truth that had surfaced again——in the prison eight years ago, a weak light was on.The lamp was spitting out a faint fire listlessly, as if it would run out of oil at any moment.

Lu Zhanxing was sitting on the narrow and cold stone bed. He hadn't seen Gu Mang yet, so he looked completely different from the old deputy Lu in the time mirror who had a clear conscience.

He leaned against the wall slumped, his face buried in deep shadows, and a few strands of disheveled hair hung down in front of his eyes.His whole body exuded a down-and-out and decadent atmosphere, and at this moment, he was an out-and-out, genuine prisoner.

The prison door creaked open.

The jailer said: "The surname is Lu, the interrogator sent by the emperor is here! You can sue any grievances and make any requests, but remember to be honest! Don't go crazy!"

After finishing speaking, he changed into a flattering smile, and said to the man standing outside the door: "Master, please."

"You go back."

The "prosecutor" wearing a mask walked into the cell, activated the spell, and raised his hand to cover the door.Except for Mo Xi, who was invisible to others, there was no one who could hear them in the cramped cell.

Lu Zhanxing didn't feel any excitement because of the arrival of this "inquisitor" who could sue his grievances. It seems that there are many people like this these days, but none of them brought him hope.So he didn't even look up, with his strong arms resting on his knees, just repeating dully the request he had probably repeated thousands of times.He said dryly, "I want to see Gu Mang."

"..."

"Nothing else. I have no grievances, no other appeals." Lu Zhanxing murmured lifelessly, as if he had been drained of all his soul, and only this strand of obsession remained, "I want to talk to him Apologize in person. Then you can kill me... Che Chi Ling Chi Tang Xie can do anything. I don't complain."

The "prosecutor" didn't speak, but suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three neatly in front of Lu Zhanxing's dirty couch.

Lu Zhanxing finally had some reaction, he was a little stunned: "...what do you mean?"

"Before the battle in Fengming Mountain, I played dice with you, and I had to leave before the end of ten rounds. It was agreed at that time to come back after winning the battle." The other party said, and took out two wooden dice from Qiankun's bag. "The battle cannot be won. But I brought the dice."

Two wooden dice, with red lotus marks on the sides at the six o'clock.

Lu Zhanxing was stunned for a moment, as if he had been struck by lightning, he suddenly jumped off the bed and almost grabbed the "inquisitor" by the lapel, before he finished speaking and took off his mask.But the two brothers who grew up together have such acquaintance. Lu Zhanxing looked at the black eyes behind the mask—he had never seen anyone whose eyes were more slender than his good brother, his slender eyes. Brighter and more divine.

The majestic tough guy suddenly choked up, looking into Gu Mang's eyes, he lost his voice and said, "Mang'er!! It's you?!"

The "inquisitor" raised his hand and took off the mask covering his face.

In the dim light, what was revealed was Gu Mang's face already wet with tears.The last time the two brothers met, one was a mighty general and the other was a high-spirited handsome leader, but now it's just a snap of the fingers.

One was demoted to be a commoner, and the other was already a prisoner.

"It's me." Gu Mang's voice was hoarse, and he said with red eyes, "...I'm sorry, it's been so long... I just came to see you..."

When the two brothers reunited after a long absence, they couldn't help being emotional and crying.After a while, Lu Zhanxing wiped away the tears on his face, and tightly held Gu Mang's hand.

He obviously has more things to ask, such as how did you come here, why did you come, how are you doing now... But Lu Zhanxing looked at his brother's face, and the first sentence he asked hoarsely was——

"Mang'er, the battle at Fengming Mountain...you, do you still blame me?"

Gu Mang choked up and said, "Zhanxing..."

Lu Zhanxing was extremely regretful, these words had been held in his heart for so long, and they had already flooded.He couldn't stop muttering: "I was impulsive, I don't know why... I was like, like a ghost, I suddenly felt that it was not worth throwing my life for the country, and I suddenly felt that what we should do Everything is so unworthy...but...but...I don't think so...I just have a little bit of such a thought once in a while, but I really don't think so!"

"I'm sorry for the brothers of Qiwan Fengming Mountain... I don't know what happened to me at the time, Mang'er, I failed your trust, I failed the trust of my brothers..."

Every sentence pierces people's hearts.

Lu Zhanxing's expression was so remorseful, his eyes were red and his tears were still wet, like a sharp awl full of barbs ruthlessly pierced into Mo Xi's flesh and blood.

How can Lu Zhanxing, who is so remorseful because of the big mistake he made, look like the foolish man in the time mirror?The Lu Zhanxing he saw in the time mirror at that time, clearly said every word and every word was extremely crazy——

"It's better for me to ruin his life than to watch him ruin his own life and the lives of more people."

"Your Majesty cut his power... Well done!!"

Do not……

No no no, wrong, all wrong.

The truth turned out not to be like this.

Mo Xi looked at Lu Zhanxing, who knelt in front of Gu Mang and regretted it, kneeling in front of Gu Mang in pain.Buzzing in the ears...wrong...all wrong! !

He heard Lu Zhanxing apologizing to Gu Mang endlessly, he heard Lu Zhanxing saying to Gu Mang, "Mang'er, I'm sorry."

Mo Xi only felt chills all over his body - thinking about it now, the Lu Zhanxing in the time mirror at that time clearly knew that his death could save the lives of [-] remnants, so he wanted to take all the blame on himself.He is obviously not a self-righteous lunatic who castrated his brother's dream, but he would rather keep a secret in front of Mo Xi, and never let the world know that he is a hero who forged a bone, loyal and kind and wronged.

In order to protect Gu Mang and the rest of his robes, the emperor gave him the mask of a criminal minister, a mask of a reckless man, he endured it until he died!

...It turned out that Lu Zhanxing had never failed Gu Mang.He is Gu Mang's close friend, and Gu Mang's deputy commander. They are all martyrs, and they are all along the way.

Gu Mang managed to calm down Lu Zhanxing's emotions a little bit. He helped Lu Zhanxing up and let him sit on the edge of the bed. He choked up and said to this remorseful man, "Zhanxing...you have never let us down. What. From beginning to end, you are our brother."

This sentence made Lu Zhanxing's originally calm mood collapse again, Lu Zhanxing buried his face in his palm and rubbed it, and he murmured: "No... I killed Rouli to make it happen, I didn't restrain myself at that time Staying by myself, I was overwhelmed by selfishness."

Gu Mang tightly held his hand back, his eyes were reddened, "That's not the case."

"..."

A word is like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, piercing through the clouds——

"Listen to me, it's not your selfishness that has gone to your head. It's the Zhenlong chess game that Liao Guo played in your body."
