Yu Wu

When Mo Xi came out of the cold room, the jailer's soul was almost gone.

Before, the cruel official hoped that Mr. Shu would come to interrogate Gu Mang. After he came out, he was dressed in a silk sapphire blue dress, which was clean, and even the moonstone pendant on his chest was not skewed at all. But when he went in and took a look, good guy, Gu Mang had completely become a man. a blood man.

Wang Shu-jun himself didn't splatter blood, he has already tortured people like this, and now, Xihe-jun, in the military uniform of the imperial army, is almost completely stained with blood, so Gu Mang can't—

Thinking of this, I almost fell to the ground with weak legs.Fortunately, the little apprentice beside him helped him in time, so he could barely stand up straight trembling, and saluted Mo Xi: "Xihe Jun, go slowly."

With a pale face and pursed lips, Mo Xi walked out of the dark and cold passageway without turning his head in silence.The military boots inlaid with iron sheets stepped on the cold bricks, making a crunchy sound.

"Heavenly Fragrance Renewing Life Dew Fragrance Renewing Life Dew!! Hurry up, hurry up!!"

Holding the elixir for promoting muscle growth and decomposing in his hands, the jailer led a group of Yaoxiu Wu to rush into the cold room, and before he even remembered to stand still, he was stunned.

I saw Gu Mang lying on the stone bed, wrapped in a black and golden fur robe to keep out the cold, half of his thin face was exposed deep in the hem, but it was clean.

The little apprentice was stunned: "Master, what, what's going on..."

The jailer glanced at the intricate golden snake-shaped totem on the sleeve of the fur coat, and his heart skipped a beat—isn't this the military emblem of the Northern Frontier Army?

Thinking about it again, when Mo Xi came in just now, he was clearly wearing a warm coat, but when he went out, he was dressed in black clothes with a narrow waist. This clothes...could it be...

He swallowed, took a few steps forward, and lightly lifted a corner of the fur coat, and sure enough, he saw Gu Mang sleeping inside with his breathing evenly drawn, and all the wounds on his body had stopped bleeding.The jailer couldn't help being a little stunned, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but when he thought of Mo Xi's cold and proud look on weekdays, and thought of Mo Xi's merciless stabbing by Gu Mang, this kind of bold aura came again. It went out quickly.

The little apprentice also poked his head over to look. After looking at it for a while, he realized, "Oh! Isn't this the robe of Mr. Xi He?"

"..."

"Master, master. Didn't everyone say that Xihe Jun has a cleanliness habit and never touches things???"

The jailer turned his head rather speechlessly: "Do you think he will take this dress back again?"

"Oh..." The little apprentice scratched his head embarrassingly, "That's right."

After a pause, Maodi was killed by curiosity again: "But isn't Mr. Xihe here for interrogation? Why are you so kind to the prisoner?"

"He's not a cruel official." Although the jailer was still a little guilty, he was very clear about what to guess and what not to guess.So he patted the little apprentice on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Not everyone likes to see blood like Wang Shujun."

"Oh……"

"Pay attention to today's matter, and don't say it out there." The jailer turned his head and ordered the others, and glanced at the shining golden snake on the fur robe from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice:

"Remember, talk too much."

Mo Xi walked on the rainy and snowy official road, the west wind was blowing, and he didn't feel cold even without cold clothes.His eyes were burning, his heart was beating like a drum, and Gu Mang's murmured words kept echoing in his ears.

I want to... have a home...

It was as if a mess of grass had sparked in his heart, and it burned all the way from his chest, making his eyes even slightly red.

He felt more and more that Gu Mang might not be mentally damaged, otherwise why would he unconsciously murmur this sentence when he was in a coma?

The fire jumping in the chest cavity is both a torture and a hope.Thinking over and over like this, he didn't even notice that the blood on his breasts attracted the attention of passers-by.

The snow fell harder and harder, and the light in Mo Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter. He thought, no matter what, after the current case is concluded, he must get Gu Mang back from Murong Lian.

Only in this way can he get along with Gu Mang day and night, and have the opportunity to find out whether Gu Mang is fake or really crazy.

This side of the room was in a trance, but suddenly there was a shrill scream in the distance: "Ah——!!"

Mo Xi paused, raised his eyes to follow the sound.

Now that the situation in the imperial capital is on high alert, he immediately rushed towards the direction where the call came from.It was a wine shop, the tables, chairs and benches were all smashed, and several wine jars piled up in the corner were also broken. Old pear blossoms flowed all over the floor, and the room smelled bitterly of wine.

The guests rushed out, only a few monks who happened to be drinking gathered in and out of the private room on the second floor, including Yue Chenqing.

Yue Chenqing clutched the wound on his arm that was bleeding continuously, and was so angry that he yelled and cursed, which is really strange, he has such a good temper, so he won't get angry easily, but at this moment, he looked like smoke from all organs, muttering in his mouth: "Coward! Turtle! Not enough friends at all!"

He is pure and cheerful, and rarely swears on weekdays, so he swears up and down, only a few words, and even "little turtle" is considered a swear word.

"It hurts to death!"

Mo Xi quickly reached the upstairs, just when he bumped into Yue Chenqing angrily shouting: "Big bad dog!"

When he looked up, he happened to curse at Mo Xi.

Mo Xi: "..."

Yue Chenqing was taken aback for a moment, and opened her round eyes wide: "Mr. Xihe? Why are you here? Well, I didn't mean you..."

"What happened?" Mo Xi glanced at Yue Chenqing, "Are you injured?"

"Yes, yes! Just now, a man in black with great skills came in through the window suddenly, and wanted to take away sister Xiaocui from the restaurant." Yue Chenqing was angry and anxious, "Sister Xiaocui is so cute on weekdays." Tight, every time we sell wine, we will give some more to our brothers, and sometimes we will give peanuts and kidney bean cakes, although the kidney bean cakes are not very delicious, but—"

"...you get to the point."

"Oh, the important point, the important point." Yue Chenqing pondered for a while, and said angrily, "The point is, when I saw that the situation was wrong, I rushed up with a few friends to stop the man in black, but that guy used some strange magic. I didn't even touch the corner of his sleeve, so he cut me with a sword. But those friends of mine saw that I was injured, and ran away in fright! They are all little turtles!"

The more he talked, the more angry he was, he was about to vomit blood.

"Our Chonghua Baicao Society is such a group of bastards, it's too uninteresting!"

"..."

Chonghua Baicao Club, this is a small group formed by Yue Chenqing and a group of young juniors, a group of dudes who love to cling to elegance and flaunt themselves in the market all day long, and secretly poked and sealed themselves with honorable titles, such as "Aotianlong" and "Jinyihu", Mo Xi thought he was mentally handicapped. Hearing what Yue Chenqing said at this time, he naturally taught him a stern lesson: "I told you not to hang out with those people, but you just didn't listen. Did you get seriously hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Yue Chenqing said with a look of lovelessness, "I was betrayed by my brother, and my heart was sad. Now I can finally understand how you feel, Mr. Xihe, when you..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly felt that what he said was wrong, he stopped his mouth quickly, and stared at Mo Xi with his round eyes.

Mo Xi was silent for a while, and asked, "Where did the man in black go?"

"I don't know, he moved so fast that he didn't look like a living person. With a whoosh, he couldn't even see the shadow. My poor sister Xiaocui... Xihe Jun, do you think he is that brothel?" Premature ejaculation..."

Mo Xi frowned: "What is it?"

It was only then that Yue Chenqing realized that Mo Xi had been so busy recently that he definitely hadn't heard about Mr. Shu's extravagant brothel murder case, so he said, "It's the murderer of Hongyanlou."

"Let me see your wound."

Yue Chenqing showed him aggrievedly.

"..." Mo Xi looked at Yue Chenqing's wound, his sword eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper, "...it's the Broken Water Sword..."

Yue Chenqing was taken aback, and asked in shock, "Li Qingqian, the master of Duan Shui Sword?"

Mo Xi shook his head, didn't say whether or not, just said: "You go home first, the emperor is very messy recently, don't run around if you have nothing to do."

"My father is going to retreat in Melting Flow Mountain, and my fourth uncle is very aloof, so he ignores me, and I can't stay in the house alone."

"Then go to your brother's side."

Yue Chenqing hesitated for a moment, and muttered: "He's not my brother..." Since she was in the Yue family since she was a child, Yue Chenqing's impression of Jiang Yexue was not much better.But in front of Mo Xi, he couldn't say much, so he changed the subject, "By the way, where did you come from, Mr. Xihe? Why is there blood all over your clothes?"

"..." Mo Xi looked down and said for a while, "I took care of one person."

"T-took up a person?" Looking at the blood on his chest, that person must have been beaten to death by Mr. Xihe.

"Don't ask." Mo Xi said, "Miss Xiaocui who was taken away, can you draw her portrait?"

"Okay, let me try!"

As Yue Chenqing said, she asked the proprietress of the restaurant for a pen and paper, and soon the appearance of a young woman appeared vividly on the paper.Mo Xi watched from the side, but until Yue Chenqing finished the last stroke, he never saw anything special about this girl.Just about to ask the proprietress about her background, Yue Chenqing suddenly picked up the pen he had put down.

"Wait! There's still something missing!"

After speaking, she hastily clicked a mole next to the end of Xiaocui's eye.Then he said with satisfaction: "That's right, that's right."

Mo Xi opened his eyes slightly: "She also has a tear mole?"

"Ah? What is it called? Who else?"

Mo Xi said: "...Among the five prostitutes who were taken away from Hongyanlou, one of them had such a mole in the corner of his eye."

While explaining to Yue Chenqing, he thought to himself, could it be that this tear mole is a very important feature in front of that "flower picker", and even that prostitute's "golden medal for avoiding death"?

Just as she was thinking, she heard Yue Chenqing hesitantly say: "Mr. Xihe, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you."

"You said."

"That... that's right. I don't know if it's my illusion. When I fought the man in black just now, although I didn't see his face, I always felt that there was something about him that I was very familiar with."

Mo Xi asked: "What is the smell, where have you smelled it?"

"It's not that I smell it, it's just a...uh... I can't say it, a kind of aura, I seem to have felt it somewhere. But at that time, he was in a hurry and he walked so fast that I didn't have time to check it out carefully, so he It has disappeared." Yue Chenqing sighed, "Mr. Xihe, do you think he is the murderer of Hongyanlou?"

"...I'm not sure." After Mo Xi finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said, "That's it. Yue Chenqing, you go to Shennongtai to heal your injuries first, and then go to the Safety Administration for a while, and talk to them about something."

"what's up?"

Mo Xi looked at Xiao Cui's portrait and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that flower picker is looking for women with certain characteristics. Moles of tears should be one of the characteristics. You ask the Security Bureau to announce to the whole city, please meet the conditions. Girls, go to the Security Bureau first to take shelter."

"Oh, yes, yes." Yue Chenqing responded, and was about to go out when she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Xihe, I heard that elder brother Murong has obtained the order from the emperor, and he can interrogate Gu Mang at any time. Do you know about this?"

"……Um."

"Gu Mang seems to be useful to you, Xihe Jun. If Brother Murong goes to interrogate him, I'm afraid he will be half dead. Do you want to..."

"It doesn't matter." Mo Xi shook his head, subconsciously rubbed a black silver finger on his thumb, his eyes slowly dimmed.

When he was healing Gu Mang just now, he had already injected a tracking symbol unique to the Mo family into Gu Mang's body.During the duration of the effect, as long as there is something strange about Gu Mang, the ring on his hand will become hot, and it will sense Gu Mang's location and state for him.

He really didn't want to see Gu Mang after being tortured by others.

Mo Xi said: "I'm prepared. No matter what Murong Lian does again, I will know. You don't have to worry."

After bidding farewell to Yue Chenqing, Mo Xi returned to the mansion and retrieved the jade scrolls of the five whores.

He put Xiaocui's portrait together with the showgirl with a tear mole, and then stared at the other four faces.

The other four women don't have any obvious features, and it's really impossible to detect more details by relying on such a painting alone.

However, this situation didn't last long. With more and more missing women in the city, Xihe Mansion also got more and more portraits. After sorting them, it was found that their lips were very similar in shape, or their noses looked very similar.

So Mo Xi, based on these characteristics, asked the Imperial Army to invite all qualified girls to the Security Bureau to protect them first.

Sure enough, within a short time, the disappearance of women will no longer happen for the time being, only occasionally a few girls who are not taken over by the Security Bureau in time will be taken away by "flower pickers", but now the monks are very worried——

"Elder Yu in Chengtiantai is no match for that guy. If he steals our hearts, what will we do?"

"Hey, I don't dare to go to the wild to practice alone recently."

Seeing that the new year is approaching, Chonghua City, which was originally bustling, became quiet instead. People always go out in groups of three and four, and hurry home before it gets dark.Many people didn't buy them, and they didn't even dare to leave their weapons when they slept at night.

As for those who couldn't afford it, they cried and begged the Yue Mansion to show mercy, if they could credit them and pay them back later.

Yue Chenqing couldn't decide this matter, his father was not around, so his uncle went out, drove all the poor little monks away angrily, and cursed: "What's the trouble! In front of the first-rank monk's mansion, it's your turn to play wild? Yue mansion's spell If the King Kong is not broken, it is worth this price! Can’t afford it? Ask your brothers and friends to borrow money!”

The storyteller didn't dare to tell the story anymore, not to mention the situation was getting worse and worse, who would dare to come and listen to the story happily?

In front of the Yuelai Teahouse, the paper "The Brothel Guest Angrily Killed the Seventy People" was slowly torn in the wind and snow. The rain soaked the pen and ink, and it was difficult to read the writing on it...

That night, the snow stopped, and the capital was full of bright moonlight.

Mo Xi sat in the courtyard of Xihe's mansion, flipping through the files and information accumulated in these days, while subconsciously turning and caressing the silver ring on his thumb.

He has often acted like this these days. This tracking ring is like the bond between him and Gu Mang that he hides from others, and his selfishness binds him and Gu Mang. Only when it is in good condition can he feel at ease.

However, on this quiet night, when he was about to take a rest, the ring suddenly became hot!

Mo Xi turned his gaze suddenly, and saw that the snake pattern on the buckle began to coil and twist, and slowly turned into a pointer shape, pointing to the southwest of the imperial capital, and the silver snake body also began to change color gradually, and after the luminous flow , and finally all the scales shone brightly.

The snake's scales turned green, which meant that the tracked person had been given some kind of drug.This is not surprising, when Murong Lian interrogates prisoners, he often gives them all kinds of hallucinogenic drugs.

The problem lies in the location. To the southwest of the imperial capital, it is not the Yin Prison, but the burial place of Chonghua's heroes.Battle Soul Mountain.

Why did Gu Mang suddenly leave the Yin Prison and be transported to the direction of War Soul Mountain?

Almost as soon as Mo Xi turned this thought, he heard bursts of golden light from all the defensive barriers in the city, and the ringing of the martial law bell in the royal city.One sound, one sound, a total of thirteen sounds.

——A heavy prisoner escaped from prison! !

Gu Mang escaped from prison! ?
