Yu Wu

Chapter 155 The Assassination of Lotus

There were only the two of them left in the tent.

Mo Xi walked to the couch, sat down beside Gu Mang, and raised his hand to touch Gu Mang's forehead—the tentacles were still a little hot, but after all, it was much better than the previous few days.

"Mengze said that you woke up during the day, but maybe I was unlucky. Every time I came to see you, you fell asleep." Mo Xi said to him in a low voice, as if hoping he would hear, As if hoping not to bother him.

No matter how strong a person is usually, he is weak when facing his true love.

"The remnant soul of the blood monster has been sealed again, and it has been sealed very well. You have completed your task again." Mo Xi said softly, "You, no matter how difficult or demanding the task others give you Strict, you can always accomplish things. Your Majesty has never misjudged you...you are more capable than anyone else."

He lowered his head and pressed his forehead lightly against Gu Mang's.

"It's just when can you care more about yourself."

The person lying on the couch was quiet, and the soft and long eyelashes cast deep shadows on the eyelids.

Mo Xi whispered: "Obviously knowing that the breath of the black demon on my body can no longer be suppressed, but I still want to unseal the blood of the demon wolf, just to hold back the national teacher, so that Murong Lian can have time to hand over the kit to me hands." He closed his eyes, and the eyeballs moved restlessly under the thin eyelids.

"Brother..."

The sleeping person didn't respond in any way.Mo Xi touched his forehead like this, and said after a long time: "You have done everything you can do, and when we return to the capital, you can recuperate well. You don't have to worry about anything, I have everything."

"..."

"I don't know how long I can protect you, but as long as I'm still alive, I won't teach anyone to bully you."

"..."

"You can rest at ease."

After Mo Xi finished speaking, he sat with him for a while, and he got up and left the tent when the herald urgently reported the resettlement situation of the victims in the east of the city.

The wind outside was blowing fast, when the curtain was lifted, there was the sound of hunting wind, and when it fell, the tent returned to silence.

In this silent silence, the eyelashes of the person lying on the bed trembled slightly, and tears flowed down his soft cheeks to the depths of his temples - Gu Mang slowly opened his eyes.

In fact, he didn't fall asleep at all, every night when Mo Xi came to visit him, he was awake.

I just don't know how to forgive myself and how to face it.

He is not afraid of the sky or the earth, but only parting.

On that day, he unsealed himself and inspired all the wolf blood in his body to fight against the national teacher. Since then, the dark energy in his body has been uncontrollable, and he can feel that his memory is almost collapsing. , and this kind of passing cannot be concealed no matter how it is concealed.

And Mo Xi is already so entangled in everything, if when he came to see him every day, he found that his mind was more unclear than the day before, what would happen to Mo Xi?

The head of a fast knife owl is certainly terrifying, but cutting flesh inch by inch with a blunt knife is even more tormenting. Gu Mang didn't want to drag Mo Xi into this torment, so he would rather choose not to have a direct conversation with Mo Xi.

But when the night is quiet and there is no one in the big tent, he will grope for the collection of memories he wrote before from the depths of the pillow, and carefully unfold and smooth them out, just like a drowning person catching driftwood, and scrutinizing it almost paranoidly over and over again.

At the beginning, he could still try his best to remember what was written on it, but as the days passed, the words on the paper became more and more like other people's stories. Today, he can hardly recall any details in half of the volume.

Gu Mang raised his hand, holding the crumpled page in his heart due to too much reading.He was so hard that the meridian on the back of his hand floated up, and he pressed the memory collection in his arms, as if he could lock all the disintegrated memories back to the bottom of his heart.

He curled up on the bed, after all, he hadn't slept all night.

It took seven days to rebuild Daze City after the war.

On the evening of the seventh day, all affairs of the army arrived, and they were ready to pull out the battalion.But by this time, Gu Mang's flashback memories because of the time mirror were running out.But this is not the worst. Even if the memory is missing, people can at least be the same as they were before going to Bat Island. The worst thing is that because the breath of the black devil is out of control, Gu Mang's spirit is always at a loss. Facing collapse and runaway.

Mengze had to give him tranquilizing medicine every day, so that he could barely suppress his evil spirit.

This night was no exception. Gu Mang drank the medicine Mengze sent as usual, and then sat on the edge of the bed, playing with his fingers silently, while thinking about how he should face Mo Xi tomorrow.

He can't always pretend to be asleep.

When he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a guard outside saying: "Princess, Wang Shu-jun asks to see you."

Mengze was packing up the soup and medicine, he was startled when he heard this, and exchanged a glance with Gu Mang.

Gu Mang was slightly surprised: "Why did he come..."

"I don't know, but you should put on the mask first." Mengze said, handing him the mask.

Even though most of the monks in the army believed that this mysterious "close guard" was Gu Mang, and it was already clear that this matter had been revealed, no matter what, uncovering and not uncovering were not the same thing.A minimum of window paper is still required.

Gu Mang had just put on the mask when Murong Lian came in with a sword.

As soon as he entered the room, his peach eyes first glanced at Gu Mang, and then fell on Mengze.Mengze put the last pack of medicine powder into the medicine box, turned his head and smiled at Murong Lian and said, "Brother Lian, you will leave the camp and return to court tomorrow morning, why don't you go to rest early to refresh yourself, what are you doing here looking for me?"

Murong Lian didn't say a word, took two puffs of Floating Life Like a Dream, and then his eyes fell on Gu Mang again.

Finally, he exhaled green smoke, took the pipe and lit it towards Gu Mang, and said, "I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for him."

Mengze's expression changed slightly, but he still said in a gentle voice: "He is just a small guard, what's the matter with you, or—"

"Little guard?" Murong Lian sneered, "Mengze, it's fine if you help Mo Xi hide it from others. Why do you even hide it from me. Do you think I don't know who he is?"

"..."

"He gave me the kit and asked me for help, but he revealed his identity to me."

Mengze was silent for a moment.

Murong Lian said, "Gu Mang, come here."

Mengze hurriedly said: "Brother Lian, he suffered a lot from unsealing the blood of the demon wolf before. Moreover, his consciousness is not stable these days, and he will easily run away. You should go back first. What's the matter? It’s not too late to talk about it when we return to the capital.”

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm going to beat him? Or do you think he's going to beat me?"

"..."

Murong Lian gave her a cool look: "Don't worry, your brother, I won't fight with a trash." After saying that, he waved impatiently to Gu Mang, "Come here. I have something to tell you."

Gu Mang thought for a while and got up, but Mengze said, "You're mentally unstable, it's better not to go—"

Murong Lian ignored her, grabbed Gu Mang's hand without saying a word, and dragged him out of the tent.

On the eve of class teacher, the monks were all busy with their own salutes, and there was no one around the main tent.Murong Lian dragged Gu Mang for quite a distance without saying a word, and finally let go of his hand when he walked to a secluded suburban river beach.

Gu Mang didn't know why, and rubbed his red wrist: "What's the matter?"

Murong Lian didn't answer him immediately, but walked back and forth by the river beach.The moonlight shone on the sparkling lake water, reflecting on Murong Lian's pale face. Murong Lian looked quite agitated, his clothes were slightly open, and underneath were overlapping bandages - he also suffered a lot in the previous battle The injury, so much so that after these days, he is still a little mentally sluggish.

The silk shoes creaked and stepped on the gravel beside the tidal flat, and after walking around a few times, Murong Lian stopped.

He stared at Gu Mang, raised his hand and took a few mouthfuls of Life Like a Dream, and said dryly, "I have a question. I want to confirm with you."

"..."

Take two more sips.

He raised his peach eyes and stared fiercely at Gu Mang: "But before I say anything, let me ask, how much of your fucking memory has you recovered?"

Gu Mang said sincerely: "...It has recovered several percent before. Now there is probably no more than [-] percent left."

Murong Lian seemed to choke for a moment, and then his face became more gloomy: "Then do you still remember Aunt Ni?"

Gu Mang shook his head, before he could shake it twice, Murong Lian sternly stopped him.

"Shaking your head! You still remembered her when you begged me to give you a kit two days ago, you kid, give me a clear answer before answering!"

"... I seem to remember two days ago, but I can't remember clearly now."

Murong Lian cursed secretly, and said angrily: "At Wangshu Mansion, you were asked to tell me the truth, but you pretended to be crazy with me, pretending to be crazy. Well, this time you're really stupid again, fuck! What's the use of you? "

After finishing speaking, he kicked the stone cursingly.

Gu Mang said helplessly: "What exactly do you want to say to me? You can't just come and scold me, right?"

Murong Lian said angrily: "Nonsense! Of course I came to see you for something, otherwise do you think who would want to see your face?"

Gu Mang touched his mask, convinced that his face was completely blocked by the mask, and it was simply Murong Lian's unreasonable trouble.

Gu Mang said, "Then you can continue."

Murong Lian opened his mouth, but no sound came out.After repeating this several times, he turned his head away cursing, walked to the edge of the beach, took two deep breaths of Floating Life Like a Dream, and then spat it out violently.

Surrounded by pale green, Murong Lian looked gloomy and said, "I have something that you told me when your mind was still clear. I wanted to ask you to confirm it again."

"..."

"But at the time, I thought your words were too absurd, and I didn't really believe them. Until these recent situations happened."

Gu Mang slightly opened his eyes wide: "Huh? I told you something?"

Murong Lian snorted.

"Did you only tell one person?"

Murong Lian snorted again.

"When?"

Murong Lian snorted again, and replied, "It was when you were just sent back to Chonghua."

Gu Mang looked at his figure immersed in the reflection of the lake, and was a little dazed: "Really? But I should have been confused at that time. I still have a little bit of memory. Before I was sent back to the city by the Liao Kingdom, they re-destroyed the over my memory."

Murong Lian gasped and said, "If they can really destroy your memory completely, why do you still have such an impression?"

Gu Mang: "..."

It seems to make sense.

Murong Lian said: "Listen to me, the next thing I want to tell you is when you returned to the city, you told me yourself. At first I felt that you were very scheming and hated Chonghua There are too many, so I don't want to believe your instigation. But now it seems..."

He lowered his eyelashes and shook the ashes from the ashtray.

The soot fluttered in the wind like flecks of residual snow.

Murong Lian thought for a moment, as if he was making a final decision, finally he raised his head and his eyes fell on Gu Mang's face.

"What you said may not be false. It's just that there are some contents. I still want to collect evidence with you. Are you—"

Before he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly pierced diagonally!

Murong Lian was startled instinctively, and raised his palm to deploy a protective barrier, only to hear a crisp sound, a sharp arrow attached to the wood and water spirit flow shot from the dark forest, directly hit the barrier, and exploded violently !

"boom!!"

After all, Murong Lian has been weak for a long time, and the previous injury has not healed, the barrier has crumbled and cracked under this blow, and shattered into powder.He fell all of a sudden on the rocky beach, choking out a mouthful of blood.After only one confrontation, Murong Lian knew that this person was far superior to him in strength, so he didn't have time to make a second defense, so he immediately reacted and said sharply to Gu Mang: "Run away!!!"

Gu Mang was shocked!

The surrounding forests were like ghostly shadows, and the rustling sound of assassins passing by could not be heard above the branches, leaves and treetops. Murong Lian took a breath and said, "Run away! What are you doing here?!"

"But you-"

A voice that was obviously distorted by illusion suddenly came out from the depths of the dense forest: "Mr. Wang Shu, you don't have to rush him to escape. No one will hurt him."

Murong Lian said solemnly: "What are you?"

"Hehe, do you think I'll tell you?" The voice laughed as sharply as a night owl, "The emperor's palace, the blood of the royal family, there is such a naive and ridiculous person like you, Murong Lian, you really opened my eyes .”

Murong Lian bit her blood-stained lips, and suddenly raised her hand to form a defensive barrier, motioning to Gu Mang, "Run!"

"joke!"

With a bang, the barrier was suddenly shattered following the opponent's sneer.

"Do you think that with your frail body and Gu Mang's damaged body, which one of you can escape?"

"However, Murong Lian, you can rest assured. I'm only going to kill you. As for him—" the man's laughter pierced his eardrums like spikes, "If I kill him, who will replace you? Apologize for your death?"

"Don't worry, your death will not be painful or embarrassing, but it will be very valuable."

"Come on, let's do it!"

The shadows of the assassins who were wandering around in the forest suddenly jumped out, and more than a dozen black-clothed monks held bows and arrows, and stood on the top of the fir forest, besieging them like a pack of wolves.

The leader was a man wearing a gold-rimmed black cloak. He swept up and stood lightly on the top of the tallest tree, with a bright moon on the sky behind his back.

Gu Mang looked up at the group of assassins, and wanted to raise his hand to summon Yong Ye, but his body couldn't stand any black magic at all.At that moment when he was chanting, a sharp pain suddenly exploded in his head, and then he knelt down on the ground suddenly.

Eyes shaking, ears buzzing, in a trance, Gu Mang heard the black-clothed assassin coldly order:

"Put Murong Lian to death on the spot."

"Fire arrows!"
