Yu Wu

Lu Zhanxing was like a caged animal, his emotions were too agitated, it took Gu Mang a long time to explain the whole story to him clearly.

As a bystander, Mo Xi had a hard time describing Lu Zhanxing's expression after hearing the truth.

In fact, ever since Gu Mang started talking about "Zhenlong Baizi", the emotions on Lu Zhanxing's face have been changing.From astonishment to bewilderment, from bewilderment to ecstasy, from ecstasy to anger, from anger to sadness, the astonishment collapsed countless times in the middle.

When everything was finished, Lu Zhanxing suddenly collapsed on the cold stone bed, his eyes wide open, staring at the low ceiling of the prison.

After a long time, he murmured dreamily: "I...have not let you down..."

Gu Mang's eyes were soft and moist, his voice was hoarse, and he whispered, "You never have."

"I didn't let you down...I didn't let you down...haha...hahahaha!" Lu Zhanxing's forehead meridians protruded, and his cheeks flushed red when he was so full of emotions.He suddenly laughed, but he laughed and cried, he probably felt ashamed, and raised his hand to cover his eyelashes, but the tears still leaked out from under the cover of his arm, and slid down to the depths of his temple hair.

He sobbed uncontrollably: "I have not let you down..."

Gu Mang sat down on the edge of his narrow stone bed, and turned to look at Lu Zhanxing.Of course he couldn't see Lu Zhanxing's eyes, the man still covered them with his strong arms.

Gu Mang was quiet for a moment, then suddenly asked in a low voice: "Zhan Xing, can you see them from time to time?"

It was a nonsensical sentence, but Lu Zhanxing understood it.

Mo Xi also understood.

Can you see them from time to time too?To see seventy thousand men come to you across the River Styx, to come to you those brothers who have fought by your side, who have drank with you before countless conquests, and who have sworn oaths with you. Surrounded by ten thousand dead men, they whisper to you day and night.Gradually, you can no longer see the world in front of you clearly, and you are living with the dead without knowing it.

You have become a living tombstone, with the names of the dead engraved on your heart.

Can you see them too from time to time...

Lu Zhanxing's dry lips murmured, for the first time, he didn't make a decent sound.

It was only the second time that he said——

"Always."

"..."

"I can see them all the time."

After a long silence, Gu Mang said, "Me too."

The candlelight in the prison silently shed a string of candle tears.

Gu Mang said: "Zhan Xing, we both became the living dead after a match at Fengming Mountain. Do you blame me?"

Lu Zhanxing slowly moved his arm down, revealing half of his moist black eyes: "What?"

"I fooled you... fooled you into following me on this road. I promised you an empty future, and you followed me. You didn't live a good life for a few days, but instead became criminals and reckless men. Gu Mang looked down at his hands, "I've been thinking about what kind of person I am these days."

His slender and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a soft shadow on the bridge of his nose.

Gu Mang said softly: "I know that Chonghua has many evaluations of me, praise, belittle, slander, and praise... I didn't care about it before, because I thought I was doing the right thing all the time. I, Gu Mang, can live up to my conscience."

"But after Fengming's first battle, I never gave an answer to my conscience. I kept saying that I wanted to change Chonghua's and even Kyushu's views on slaves. I kept telling everyone who followed me that I would bring They go home and give them a future that is much better than the present. But it turns out that as long as I lose a game, I will be beaten back to my original shape like a clown. Brothers ask for it."

It was as if the indifferent voice from before sounded in my ears:

The master of high power!No matter how high that slut climbed, how badly he fell!

He is the next Hua Po Dark!

No, how can he deserve to be compared with Hua Po An?After all, Hua Poyan has the ability to create a country, and at least he can get his brothers rewards and benefits. He, Gu Mang, is just a dog rolling in the mud.He is a liar!If a group of fools are tricked into following him to death, what will those who follow him gain?dream?

What a beast on the altar, hahahaha...

Ridiculous laughter hovered like a vulture.

Gu Mang slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened it again, he looked at his calloused hands and said, "Now I finally figured it out. It turns out that I was just a gravedigger. I buried all my brothers in the pit for half my life."

"..."

Lu Zhanxing didn't say anything, he turned his head around.

He looked at Gu Mang for a while, and said, "Your Majesty won't reverse the case for me, will you?"

Without waiting for Gu Mang to answer, he said again: "I think I know too. The old nobleman, the Black Demon Art... Our new lord is still too immature. If anyone is in my position, he won't be able to keep it."

Gu Mang lowered his head and said, "... Zhan Xing, I'm sorry. I didn't do anything except tell you the truth."

Lu Zhanxing stared at the Zenith for a while.

The tears at the end of his eyes had dried, and after a long time, he said, "It's okay. I don't blame him, and I don't blame you either."

After removing the shackles of the "criminal minister", Lu Zhanxing relaxed.Although people would have mixed emotions when facing the sentence of their own death, for Lu Zhanxing, he was not so unhappy at this time.

"It was me who was more unlucky and became the one who won the Zhenlong chess piece." Lu Zhanxing took the two wooden dice that Gu Mang brought him, and slowly rubbed them together, "Do you still remember when we played dice when we were young? I always lose to you, and I have to give you all the pastries. I have always been unlucky, and it has nothing to do with anyone."

As he spoke, he tossed the dice casually, and the two wooden dice rolled, and finally landed on two "ones".

Lu Zhanxing said: "Look, I'm right."

Gu Mang lowered his head suddenly, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said for a long while, "I heard a long time ago that there is a casino in Chonghua, and that person always likes to appear wearing a bronze mask, and every bet is sure to win. Never lost at the table."

"..."

"That person is you, isn't it?"

Lu Zhanxing remained silent and froze.

"Throw as many dots as you want, just a few dots. It's not that you're unlucky." Gu Mang said hoarsely, "It's you who kept letting me and wanted to give me the snacks."

Lu Zhanxing looked at Gu Mang in front of him, and soon he sighed softly.

Of course he wanted to protect the little guy.It was almost doomed from the first time they met——

At that time, not long after he was bought back to Wangshu Mansion, he saw Gu Mang, who was only four years old, being bullied by Murong Lian and forced to paint his face with oil paint, with a bowl full of water on his head. Stand still.

Young Master Murong laughed recklessly and flamboyantly, and said to him: If you stand for an hour, if the water in the bowl spills out, the slaves in the entire mansion today will have nothing to eat.

Lu Zhanxing groaned in his stomach, thinking that he had suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck, how could such a small brat persist for such a long time?It seems that the first day of entering the mansion today is going to starve.

But he never thought that when the dinner was distributed in the evening, the master chef still gave each of them two big and ostentatious white steamed buns.At this time, Lu Zhanxing heard that the little child really put up all his strength and stood motionless for an hour. This result made Murong Lian very unhappy. In the end, the other slaves were not implicated, but Gu Mang's dinner was still deducted for no reason.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing ate a steamed bun and took a steamed bun to find his little friend.He rummaged through the huge Wangshu Mansion, and finally found Gu Mang squatting by the grass in the back garden——

"Hey."

He patted Gu Mang's shoulder, and when he turned around, there was a small face in oil paint, his mouth was moving silently, and Saturn was stained on his lips.

Lu Zhanxing couldn't see his facial features clearly, he could only see those dark eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the night.

Lu Zhanxing was surprised: "You, why are you eating dirt..."

Gu Mang was extremely aggrieved. The four-year-old boy cried in a crisp voice, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Lu Zhanxing looked at those helpless eyes like a young animal, and his heart melted instantly. He hurriedly took out the steamed buns he had brought out, and whispered: "Here you are, don't cry. Ouch... Brother, cover your eyes." You, you poor little one."

At this moment, Lu Zhanxing looked at Gu Mang in front of him. It turned out that after taking off his armor and glory, Gu Mang was still as helpless and as helpless as the little guy who silently lowered his head and ate the dirt back then.

They have struggled for nearly half their lives, but in fact they have gained nothing.

Lu Zhanxing's embarrassed and dirty face gradually revealed a trace of helplessness and gentleness. He raised his hand, and his dirty hand stroked Gu Mang's face, and wiped his wet eyes with his fingertips.

"Mang'er, don't cry."

"..."

The corner of Lu Zhanxing's mouth rolled into a faint smile: "My brother is covering you, you are so pitiful."

Gu Mang closed his eyes suddenly, his brows were full of pain, and his Adam's apple was writhing bitterly.

Lu Zhanxing said: "This is the last time. My brother will protect you well. In the future, whether to advance or retreat, to continue moving forward, or to disarm and return home is up to you."

"Mang'er, I'm very glad that you can tell me the truth. Although it seems that nothing can be changed, at least I know that I have not betrayed my [-] comrades, and I have not betrayed you. The stone in my heart has finally fallen."

"You go down, any choice you make, your Brother Lu will be happy for you." He said, biting his lower lip and trying his best to bear it, but Gu Mang, who had already been sobbing, came over, put his forehead against his forehead, and put his hands hard He patted Gu Mang on the shoulder, "Who told you to be my brother. Although we have never asked for help."

Gu Mang vigorously wiped away the tears on his face, raised his black eyes and said, "Bye."

"..."

Before Lu Zhanxing could react, he put on the mask and walked out of the cell. After a while, he brought two pots of Lihuabai from the prison.

Gu Mang held back his tears, and said solemnly: "Lu Zhanxing, we will be farewell today, you and I will only see each other in autumn. I, Gu Mang, was born without a home and father, with no one to rely on, so I dare not wantonly, Don't dare to indulge, don't dare to be extravagant, have always been tolerant in front of others, it's rare to have true love. Only... Only in front of Brother Lu, can I realize what it's like to have a family and a big brother."

As he said this, Lu Zhanxing's eyes turned red, and the two of them cared for and supported each other since they were young, and they flashed past one by one vividly.

Gu Mang said: "For the past twenty years, thank you brother for taking care of me."

Lu Zhanxing raised his head suddenly. He originally thought that he would kill him in a few months, and he didn't want to have any deeper ties with others. But after hearing Gu Mang's words, every word was sincere, and every word was crying blood, he couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion and blood rushing. move.

He endured the tears welling up, took the pear flower white in Gu Mang's hand, and said: "I, Lu, have been as insignificant as duckweed in my life, never thought that I could have a righteous brother and family in this world, let alone that I am dirty now. The name is out, the fate is close, and you can still be a god, and you have eight worships. I used to be unconstrained, unbelieving, and disdain these etiquettes, but today... today, I, Lu Zhanxing, really feel very happy! Okay! Let’s say goodbye! "

"Even if you are a slave, even if the end is approaching, even if the road ahead is vast and far away, I want to be happy today! The two of us don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, and it is difficult to die in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to remember it forever, Huang Quan Don't forget!"

The two immediately raised their heads and drank, bowed to each other, and then laughed hand in hand, but there were tears in their laughter and tears in their eyes.

Gu Mang said, "Brother."

Lu Zhanxing laughed and said, "From now on, we are no longer alone. I went to the underworld and knew that I have a real brother."

In that sad yet heroic, desperate yet radiant laughter, the situation in the prison also began to blur, becoming more and more distant, and the figures of the two brothers gradually became hazy.

Lu Zhanxing...

Gu Mang...

brother.

It turned out that Gu Mang had gone to see Lu Zhanxing in the Yin Prison, and the two had become friends of eight worshippers, family brothers.Therefore, Lu Zhanxing's various reactions in the time mirror are not sincere.

Lu Zhanxing has never been a traitor who abandoned Gu Mang's dream and abandoned [-] comrades without mercy. His sincerity...his sincerity is clearly——

"Brother protects you well. In the future, whether to advance or retreat, continue to move forward, or disarm and return home is up to you."

"Go down, any choice you make, your brother Lu will be happy for you."

"Who made you my brother?"

It turned out that when the knife fell and the yin and yang were separated, not only Gu Mang's last robe was taken away, but also Gu Mang's only relative was taken away when the knife fell.

Those who have just paid homage to, only possessed, and even only had time to call a few times——

He is the only one in the world.

Big brother.
