Yu Wu

"..." Murong Lian didn't answer immediately, first he rolled his eyes slowly, then without turning his head, looked at the open space in front of him and smiled, "Then Mr. Xihe just wait to turn against this king."

Claiming to have changed in words, this is obviously raising the airs of royal blood to suppress Mo Xi.

Mo Xi's heart was clear, his face became colder, and his demeanor was daunting.The hall was silent for a while, no one spoke, and then Mo Xi spoke.

"Remember, Gu Mang is burdened with countless secrets and blood debts, but because of your own selfish desires, something happened in your hands."

Mo Xi paused, his gaze sank, like ice shattering, "I won't let this person go to you. If Mr. Shu still has some advice, I'll wait and see."

"you--!"

One of these two is the hereditary king, and the other is the commander in chief of the army. At this time, their eyes met, and it was like lightning.

Murong Lian's face was pale and thin, and the action of gnashing his teeth was particularly shocking when reflected on his skin. He hated to grind his teeth for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay!"

"..."

"How dare you say that you won't protect him? How dare you say that you hate him?" Murong Lian's eyes flashed like poisonous wine, and his smile suddenly tightened. What this king said is exactly the same as when you were down and out and Gu Mang stood in front of you to protect you!"

Mo Xi looked down at him calmly, with some subtle emotions on his face.

"It's impossible for you to hate Gu Mang so much. If you hand him over to you today, Chonghua will definitely make a big deal out of it in the future!"

"..."

Suddenly, Mo Xi also laughed.

His smile was so handsome that it was almost extravagant, but his expression was very cold: "What did Gu Mang protect me? ... I only know that he left a scar on my chest that will never disappear. I only remember that he wanted to protect me. Life."

"I hate him." Mo Xi said calmly at last, as if a cold snow had fallen in his eyes, "You said he used to protect me, sorry, Wang Shu-jun, that's all in the past. I remember I don't know."

He turned around, half knelt down towards the throne, and lowered his eyelids slightly.

"Your Majesty, in Chonghua, no one understands Gu Mang's spells better than me. In addition, Mr. Wang Shu made a mistake in his supervision, and today's disaster happened. I implore you, Your Majesty, allow me to arrest him and return him to the mansion, so that he can be strictly supervised."

Murong Lian turned around suddenly, and said sharply, "Mo Xi, why did you go to such lengths to protect him as soon as you came back! What are your intentions!"

Mo Xi ignored Murong Lian any more.

Your Majesty thought for a while, and was about to speak, when suddenly a captain of the forbidden army rushed to the door, and hurriedly said a few words to the orderly servant, the servant's expression changed suddenly, and he walked towards the front of the hall: "Your Majesty, the city is inside Urgent report!"

Your Majesty almost kicked the case: "It's the second time tonight, so what's the matter?"

The servant said with a pale face: "There was a murder in the Hongyan Building in the north of the city. Almost all the prostitutes and guests in the building died, even, even Lord Yu from Chengtiantai..."

"what?!"

All the ministers were shocked when they heard the words.

Even Junshang got up from the throne suddenly, his eyes widened, "Who did it!!"

"No, I don't know... When the forbidden army found out that the situation in Hongyan Building was not right, the perpetrator had already fled, and left a sentence on the wall—"

"What?!"

The servant was still shocked, and he stammered and replied: "I, I am lonely, and I sincerely accept wives and concubines."

"I am lonely, sincerely accepting wives and concubines?" Jun Shang read it twice, and said angrily, "What a mess, what a frenzied old bachelor, wrote such words, and killed a group of people, is he going to kill people or want women? ?” Paused, more irritable, “Any other clues?!”

"For now, not yet."

Your Majesty scolded him again for his catchphrase: "Trash!!"

Leaning on the throne for a while, his eyelashes fluttered, and when he caught sight of Mo Xi and Murong Lian, Jun Shang's heart skipped a beat.

"The matter of Gu Mang is put on hold for now." Your Majesty slowly sat up straight and said.

Although the Hongyanlou case came at an untimely time, it can indeed be used to advantage.After all, the two people who were fighting for Gu Mang in front of the palace, one was a blood relative and the other was an important minister, it was not good to reject either, but now that something like this happened, it just happened to make him put his business outside.

"It's unbearable that such a bloody crime can happen in the imperial city of Wangcheng. Gu ordered you both to go to investigate the case immediately. Whoever catches the real culprit first will ask Gu to ask others."

Murong Lian said: "According to what your majesty means, do you want to take Gu Mang as a prize?"

Your Majesty glanced at him: "You guys have fought like this just to avenge yourself, why, isn't he qualified?"

Murong Lian smiled: "Sufficient. But I did it for revenge, and Mr. Xihe doesn't know what it is for."

Mo Xi: "..."

"It's alright, Murong Lian, Xi and Jun have always been gentlemen, so don't gossip about it just because of personal enmity." Jun Shang impatiently waved his hand to interrupt him, then pointed to Gu Mang who was sleeping in the middle of Shennongtai's guards, Said: "Xihe Jun, Gu also wants to see who is more capable, you or Murong Lian. If you have no objection, it will be settled like this."

Mo Xi said, "Yes."

"Then let's do it." Jun Shang twirled the beads in his hand and said, "Whoever wins will take him away."

So in a daze, Gu Mang became the lucky winner for the two gods to solve the case.

It's just that Murong Lian wants her to suffer.

Mo Xi wants it...

Forget it, he didn't know what to do after he really took Gu Mang back to his house.This is not something he should be thinking about at the moment.

Inside Hongyan Building, Mo Xi was dressed in black as the commander of the imperial army, standing with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the cursive script painted with blood on the wall.

According to your majesty's order, the medicine cultivators of Shennongtai are dealing with the miserable corpses in the building.And he and Murong Lian were arranged to find out the truth and arrest the murderer.

"41 prostitutes died, 37 of the guests died, and seven handymen in the building." A Yaoxiu reported with Mo Xibei, "In addition, after checking the directory, five prostitutes disappeared."

Murong Lian was also listening at the side, and frowned upon hearing this: "Missing?"

"Yes."

"Killed all the people in the building, even Master Yu was not spared... Those five whores definitely did not escape by themselves, most likely they were taken away by the murderer." Murong Lian thought, "The murderer took him alone. What are these five women doing? Are they really captured as wives and concubines?"

Mo Xi came to the blood-stained stairs, where several medicine repairers were processing Elder Yu's body.Seeing him, they all saluted and said, "Mr. Xihe."

"Hmm. How about the traces of spells on Elder Yu's body?"

"Reporting to Mr. Xihe, it seems to be Liao Kingdom's black magic formula, but it is not completely similar. Come and see it here."

A medicine cultivator said, and lifted a corner of the burial cloth for Mo Xi to see.

"Master Yu's eyes were shut out, and his heart was also dug out. The flesh and blood in the sore rotted very quickly. It didn't look like it was injured by an ordinary weapon, but rather..."

Mo Xi frowned and said, "The ghost eats people."

"Yes, it does look like a trace of a ghost eating people."

Mo Xi glanced at Elder Yu's tragic death, the holes in his eyes had already started to flow black water, as did the hole in his chest.However, ghosts often lose their minds when they kill people, so it doesn't look like ghosts to write something on the wall, "I am lonely, and accept wives and concubines sincerely".

He was thinking, his eyes slowly moved down, and stopped on Elder Yu's bloody chest: "Is it the same with other people's corpses?"

Yao Xiu flipped through the files, shook his head and said, "No, only seventeen people had their eyes and hearts gouged out."

"Let me see the roster."

The first one to die like this was Elder Yu. Mo Xi was not familiar with all the names behind, but the four or five familiar ones were indeed the names of young masters of aristocratic families.

"Are all monks whose hearts were dug out?"

"It's not sure yet, but judging by the current situation, it should be."

A monk's heart is where the spirit core is, and the eyeballs are the place where the spirit energy is the most abundant after the heart. For ghosts and spirits, swallowing these two things is indeed of great benefit to their cultivation.

Mo Xi lowered his head and muttered.

At this moment, a guard from outside suddenly pushed the door in. He ran in a hurry, and his forehead was still sweating in the winter: "Mr. Xihe! Look, look, look——"

Murong Lian glanced at her peach-blossom eyes, and said with a rather funny smile: "Wow, what woof, are you mocking us, Mr. Xihe, for being a dog?"

The forbidden soldier swallowed his saliva: "Wang Shu Jun!"

"..." Murong Lian's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said angrily, "Give me a fucking breath before you talk!"

The forbidden soldier hurriedly responded: "Yes! There is new news. After Gu Mang ran away, the howling barrier of Luomei Bieyuan was destroyed. Just now the steward counted the number of people in the garden, and found, found that one person is missing!"

Surprised, Murong Lian stepped forward and grabbed the guard by the collar: "What's going on? Didn't you check it three times before, saying that no one escaped in the chaos? Why are you saying less now? !"

The guard hadn't answered yet, a cavalry team hurried on a snowy night, and it turned out that Mother Qin, the steward of Luomei Bieyuan, was brought here.As soon as she got off her horse, she plopped and knelt on the ground, tremblingly said: "Mr. Wang Shu, this servant deserves to die! This servant deserves to die!!"

Murong Lian was almost dizzy with anger: "I'm going to die later, tell me clearly first, are you blind or stupid? I clicked three times before and said that there are no fewer people, why suddenly said less now?" One! Say it!"

"Mr. Wang Shu, please forgive me—woo woo, this servant only paid attention to the little singing girls in the garden, and carefully closed it several times. It is true that all of them are still there honestly, but, but this servant forgot..."

"What did you forget!?!"

Madam wailed, "This servant has forgotten that there is a bedridden cook in the clerk's room!"

"Cook?" Murong Lian was taken aback.

Mother Qin cried: "Yes, more than a month ago, you punished Gu Mang for confinement and deduction of food. He was so hungry that he went to the small kitchen to steal something to eat. The cook ran into him at that time, yes He beat and scolded, but the sword array was triggered, and he was cut all over his body."

"..."

"The doctor said that the wound would at least lie in bed for three or two months, so, so I didn't expect him to do anything strange at first, but who knew, he actually took advantage of Gu Mang to break the barrier, Secretly, secretly..."

"waste!!"

Murong Lian flew into a rage, kicked her in the chest, kicked her into the boundless snow, pointed at her and said angrily, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused?!"

All the servants and prostitutes in Luomei Bieyuan are all captives who have a deep hatred with Chonghua. Although their spirit cores will be destroyed before entering the garden, the spells of various countries have their own subtleties. I heard that Liao Kingdom once had a A black sorcerer who can reunite shattered spiritual cores.Therefore, outside Luomei Bieyuan, several barriers were laid one after another.

But who would have thought that Gu Mang's rampage this time broke all those barriers, even if they were broken, there was a "bedridden" cook who was able to run and move suddenly, took the opportunity to slip away, and the steward didn't know until now. find!What's more terrible is that not long after the cook escaped, there was a massacre in the imperial capital where nearly a hundred people died——

If your majesty decides to settle this matter, whose negligence is it?

It's not him, Murong Lian!

Thinking of this, Murong Lian's pale face couldn't help turning red, almost dizzy.

"Gu Mang... Gu Mang..." he shouted angrily, "You did another good thing!!"

Turning around suddenly: "Hurry up and get me the family file of the cook!! What is the origin! This year, Guigeng, his life and past events, and even how many women he has had in his life, I want to know everything, hurry up! !!"

"Yes! Yes!" Madam hurriedly staggered to her feet, got on her horse and ran away in a hurry.

Murong Lian flicked his sleeves, and hurriedly returned to the Hongyan Building, raised his head and stared at the sentence on the wall, "I am lonely, I accept my wife and concubines sincerely".

The left and right attendants suddenly couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "My lord..."

Murong Lian said angrily, "What are you doing?!"

"It's not right."

Murong Lian was also confused, startled: "What's wrong?"

"Gu Mang injured the cook a month ago, and a month later Gu Mang went berserk, and the cook took advantage of the chaos to escape..." The attendant's voice softened, and he took a cautious look at Murong Lian, "Don't you think it's such a coincidence? Yet?"

Murong Lian was silent for a while, then narrowed his eyes: "You said that the cook had already planned to use Gu Mang?"

"Or maybe... Gu Mang was not being used? Now that something like this has happened, the Lord might as well make the worst guess. Do you think it was because Gu Mang had discussed it with the cook a long time ago?"

Murong Lian's heart tightened.

"Which country is the injured cook a prisoner of?"

The attendant was worried because of this, he bowed his head and replied, "Liaoguo."

...! !

Is he also a thief of the Liao Kingdom? !

Murong Lian's back was covered in cold sweat, he thought, Gu Mang...Gu Mang is still in the palace right now!

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if he really has some unknown conspiracy with that cook, and the two of them will coordinate with each other to divert the tiger away from the mountain, then...

Murong Lian's face changed suddenly, and after a pause, he strode outside into the wind and snow: "Call my golden-winged snow horse! I want to go back to the palace immediately to see your majesty!!"
