Yu Wu

Chapter 154 Hostage

Seeing this, Murong Lian was afraid that he might make a mistake before the battle, so he tightened his grip on the bag in his palm, and said to Mo Xi: "Huoqiu, don't be fooled. He was seriously injured just to send this Qiankun bag back, if you take it back Hand it over, he will hate you to death when he wakes up."

Mo Xi was silent for a moment, but said: "If I don't hand it over, I can hate myself to death."

After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, a blazing flame shot out from the wall of fire, burning Murong Lian violently.Murong Lian let go of the pain, and the universe pouch containing the remnant soul of the blood monster was wrapped in spiritual fire, and quickly flew into Mo Xi's hand.

"Mo Xi, you—!"

Murong Lian was both angry and shocked, angry because of his attitude, and surprised because he was willing to choose the latter between the important responsibility of the state and the life of his brother.

For any general, this is a big taboo and a big mistake. Once a certain general puts his personal emotions above everything else, it will inevitably bring irreversible consequences to the army and even the country. Mo Xi has been in the army for many years , he will not fail to understand this truth.But how did he—

Before he could finish his thoughts, the mighty wall of fire was extinguished, Mo Xi fell from the top of the fire wave, and his military boots with iron sheets stepped on the scorched land.

Under everyone's surprised or blank eyes, he held the kit in his hand and walked towards the national teacher step by step.

The national teacher withdrew the dagger, strangled Gu Mang with one hand and strangled his neck, and spread it out to Mo Xi with the other: "Leave it to me."

"You give him to me first."

The national teacher seemed amused by his words, lowered his head, licked his white teeth, and grinned with a deep smile: "Mr. Xihe...you are really too young to have experienced any irreparable mistakes Choose." He smiled, drooping his black eyelashes, "It seems that you are quite well-behaved, let me remind you a little bit?"

"..."

"When the person who is extremely important to you is in the hands of others." The national teacher's fingertips barely scratched across Gu Mang's neck, and whispered, "Any conditions that others give you, you'd better accept them all. , unless you are not so concerned about his life and death."

After a short pause, the national teacher held Gu Mang closer, his eyes gleaming with infinite malice.

"Come."

He lifted his chin.

"Give you one last chance. Give me the Qiankun Sac."

This time, even the soldiers who didn't know it understood somewhat, their Lord Xi He seemed to want to exchange something extremely important to Chonghua for the life of the man in the hands of the national teacher.But if you understand it, you can understand it. Many people are completely overwhelmed. They fought such a cruel battle with lightning, and how many robes became bones by the Wuding River, but Xihe Jun actually wanted to... for one person... Do all sacrifices obliterate sacrifice? !

The national teacher stretched his fingertips: "Quick."

Mo Xi walked up to the national teacher under the watchful eyes of everyone, remained silent for a while, and handed the Qiankun pouch forward——

But at the moment when the national teacher was about to touch the kit, Mo Xi's eyes suddenly turned hard, and he shouted sharply: "The array is open!!!"

The reason why the national teacher dared to let him get close was because he had been watching Mo Xi's every move. He knew that if he wanted to attack, no matter how subtle it was, there would definitely be a sign.Therefore, this command was completely expected by him, and the national teacher immediately raised his palm and opened the formation, blocking a colorful and flowing defensive barrier between himself and Mo Xi.

He smiled sweetly: "Thinking about me? You're still so close..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his side!Before he could react, dozens of faint blue lightsabers suddenly exploded from around Gu Mang's body, which he was tightly holding onto—

Lotus Sword Formation!

The guardian sword array that Gu Mang and Mo Xi left on each other when they were young and in love obeyed Mo Xi's order and exploded in an instant! !

Such a short distance, and being so caught off guard, no matter how good the national teacher's agility is, there is no way to dodge it. In an instant, the blood flew, and the blood splashed directly on the battlefield...

The crowd exclaimed!

Mo Xi took this opportunity to break the state teacher's barrier with one blow, and snatched Gu Mang back into his arms.Knowing the master of the sword array, the moment those sharp-edged lightsabers touched Mo Xi, they turned into countless glittering and translucent feathers, fluttering and scattering.

Amidst the flying feathers, Mo Xi flew back to the front of the Chonghua army with the Qiankun pouch in one hand and Gu Mang in the other.

"Senior brother." Mo Xi pressed Gu Mang's face lightly, and murmured in a barely audible voice, "It's okay..."

The national teacher is also really amazing in strength. After playing the piano non-stop to summon the soul, fighting against Gu Mang's ultimate move, and consuming so much energy, he still prevented the sword array from harming him in time.

He was only punctured in the shoulder, dripping blood dripping down, but he didn't take it seriously, a pair of falcon-like eyes gleamed with madness and sharpness.

"Okay...Okay! Hahahaha—" He laughed long and hard, his lips and teeth lined sharply, "I never imagined that such an upright person as Mr. Xi He would use such a vicious trick! You really can't be fooled by appearances! "

But how could he say that?Not only did Mo Xi not intend to donate the Qiankun bag, but he also successfully rescued the kidnapped servant. The Chonghua cultivators in front of the battle were all relieved, and many of them felt ashamed because of their speculation about Mo Xi just now. The impatient little monk cursed at the national teacher:

"Shut your mouth! You are not as good as others, and you still say that we, Mo Shuai, are vicious and vicious. How shameless you are!"

"You're not vicious when you hold hostages and threaten them?"

"that is!"

As a medicine repairer, Mengze immediately ordered her subordinates to bring Murong Lian and Murong Lian's guards over for treatment, while she herself walked to Mo Xi's side and said in a low voice:

"I'll take care of his injuries."

Mo Xi was worried about Gu Mang's injury, and it would be best to have her take care of it, so he nodded and said, "Thank you."

Meng Ze ordered his left and right to support Gu Mang to the front of the red feather formation, and the medicine practitioners began to stop the bleeding and heal his injuries.Mo Xi looked at Gu Mang several more times, then turned his head, and was about to give instructions to the herald, when the national teacher suddenly sneered.

"Hahaha, yes, what you said is correct, Xihe Jun is upright and upright..."

He used the technique of sound amplification, and the eerie reverberation could not stop hovering over the battlefield.

"But do you guys know that you, Lord Xi He, who has been passed down from generation to generation, would let a filthy traitor wear a mask as his valet?"

There was a silence in the camp, and then gradually there was a commotion like ripples.

The national teacher smiled maliciously, and he said to the people on the battlefield:

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? The pillar of your country, the sage and gentleman, coaxed you to live and die for him, but at the same time, he was secretly entangled with traitors and rebels. He even left an intimate relationship with each other. Blood Pact Seal."

A little monk couldn't hold back and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

The national teacher smiled lightly and said: "Oh, I am the most honest person, I never talk nonsense."

"If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him to take off the mask of this valet to show you—look at this man with your commander Mo's mark on him...is it the former commander you hate so much—Gu Mang?"

There was an uproar!

The national teacher is a person who knows the priorities as soon as he knows the priorities. He has already exhausted too much spiritual energy.After leaving these words, he waved his plainclothes, flew into the sky with his elite attendants, and flew into the night. The truth is ordinary, echoing in front of the battle for a long time.

There was a dead silence among the three armies of Chonghua.The battalion led by Murong Lian was a newly formed army, and they didn't have any direct feelings for the "former commander" Gu Mang, so they were mostly just stunned.Mo Xi's northern border army had many people's expressions changed drastically, and they stood swaying in place, and Murong Mengze's Red Feather Camp reacted most violently.

The monks in this battalion were all from aristocratic backgrounds, and many of their relatives had died at the hands of Gu Mang. When they heard that this masked valet was an enemy, they immediately lost control.

"Mr. Xihe! Is what he said true?!"

"Who is this person!!"

One of the monks in charge of healing Gu Mang happened to have a deep hatred for Gu Mang, and he raised his hand to take off Gu Mang's mask. The ground hit his fingertips!

The monk raised his head suddenly, but saw that the one who stopped him was none other than Murong Mengze standing beside him.

"Princess……?!"

Mengze said: "If the commander-in-chief's servant is equipped with a mask, his identity will be kept secret. Except for the commander-in-chief himself and the king's order, no one can take it off without authorization."

The other party said emotionally: "If he is really Gu Mang, what can't be done?!"

Mengze said solemnly: "But what if he wasn't Gu Mang."

Yaoxiu: "..."

"Are you listening to that Liaoren's few words, so you want to go against the boss?"

"But--"

Mengze said: "Take it down!"

"Yes!"

Stepping forward from left to right, he took the arrogant Yaoxiu out of the army formation.

Even with the protection of the princess, Gu Mang's mask was not removed under the noses of the three armies, but whether or not this layer of mask is removed does not mean much.

Mo Xi is a decisive person, and he doesn't like to have misunderstandings with others, let alone such a misunderstanding that shakes people's hearts.If it wasn't Gu Mang's face that was covered by this mask, according to his temperament, he would definitely remove the guard's mask to calm the turmoil.

But Mo Xi didn't.

So almost everyone understood that there was only one reason why he didn't do it——

Because what the national teacher said was correct, the person under the cover was Gu Mang.

The battle was won, but the morale of the army was weakened. Although Mo Xi's military exploits were majestic, no one dared to make a fuss on the surface for the time being, but rumors and gossips in the dark were endless.Those who were suspicious of the relationship, those who whispered and cursed, those who speculated on their intentions... all of a sudden, it was like a whirlpool and an undercurrent, surging among the monks.

There has never been a single victory that made Mo Xi exhausted like this.

Liao Kingdom withdrew its troops from Daze, and monk Chonghua re-entered the city. Instead of returning to the court immediately, he led the army to help the people renovate their houses and resettle the refugees in Daze City.He walked among the broken bricks and tiles after the war, but he was not as admired as he was before, and all around him were secretive glances.

But Mo Xi didn't feel any discomfort because of his situation.

He has experienced such a life long ago. He has already understood the coldness and warmth of human relationships when he was seven years old when his father passed away. What's more, the situation of stepping on the low and favoring the high at that time was far more serious than it is now.

He was just feeling extremely depressed and sad because of what others said about Gu Mang - he could tell people's hatred and loathing for Gu Mang from their eyes and whispers.But he held the truth in his hand, but could not testify in court.

"How is he today?"

Daze was broken, and the barracks were in chaos. Mo Xi had been leaving early and returning late these days, unable to accompany Gu Mang.He didn't dare to entrust Gu Mang to other people for treatment. The person who stayed by Gu Mang's side these days was Murong Mengze.

Mo Xi told Mengze all the secrets that could not be shared with others.Regarding the fact that Gu Mang was an undercover agent, Mengze was also shocked when he found out, and then felt very guilty because of his previous attitudes towards Gu Mang.It is also for this reason that Mo Xi is willing to let her stay with her for treatment these few days.

Seeing him coming back, Mengze raised his head with a haggard look: "There are no big things for now, but I can feel that because he released the black magic trick, his sanity has been eroded and he has become a little out of control... I don't know if he can suppress it." how long."

Mo Xi closed his eyes: "At the beginning Liao Kingdom sent him back because he knew that his situation was getting more and more dangerous, so he didn't dare to stay, didn't dare to kill, and didn't know what would happen to him after he was completely swallowed by the black demon, so Only then did he conceal the truth and throw him back to Chonghua as a hot potato."

Mengze: "..."

"Let's not talk about that." Mo Xi sighed, "Has he woke up today?"

"I woke up, but my mind was not clear all the time. After drinking some medicine, I fell asleep again."

"..."

Mo Xi's throat was bitter, and he was silent for a while and said, "His memory...is it almost impossible to keep it?"

"I can't tell." Mengze said softly, "But when he was awake, I talked to him for a while, and he generally still has some vague impressions. Brother Mo, don't be too pessimistic."

Mo Xi saw that there was gray under her eyelids, indicating that she hadn't slept well in the past few days, so she said in a low voice, "Mengze, thank you."

"I am a medicine cultivator. It is my duty to practice medicine and treat people. There is nothing to thank."

Mo Xi shook his head: "Thank you for not minding what I said to you in the military tent."

Mengze was silent for a moment, lowering her soft face like a pear blossom soaking in the moon, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Those words... I don't have anything to mind. After all these years, I have always understood that you don't like me, it's just... It's just that when you really hear that you have someone you like, it's somewhat difficult."

"……Feel sorry."

Mengze was silent, still looking down at his toes, and said for a while: "You don't have to apologize to me. Things like feelings are originally something you can't force. It's me who should say sorry. Impulsive, said a lot of inappropriate things, taught Brother Mo to see my jokes, and made you embarrassed."

She paused, bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry for you."

There are only a handful of countries in the mainland of Kyushu that can give status to female cultivators, and Chonghua is not one of them.But even so, Murong Mengze can still be honored as one of the three gentlemen of "Jie Ding Hui" with an exception, which shows that she is unusual.Although she also has children's affair and a weak attitude, she can always understand the truth in the end.

Mengze raised his face, a little reluctantly, but also tried his best to smile.

"Brother, if you are willing in the future, just... tell me your ideal person. Even if... there are all sorts of problems, I think if you like... it will not be wrong."

Mo Xi didn't speak, looking at her soft eyes.

There have been too many rumors in the army recently, and many people have already started to spread that he and Gu Mang had an affair long ago.These words have already reached his ears, he doesn't know how much Mengze has heard.

But he didn't know what to say to Mengze. She had done a lot for him these years, and he had given him all the thanks, words, and promises he should say.

Only love cannot be given.

The two of them have come to this point, and it is really a dead end. No matter how much apology and gratitude Mo Xi has in his heart, he has exhausted it, and it is meaningless to mention it again and again.

So in the end, he only said seriously: "Okay."

After a pause, he said again: "It's getting late, and you've been tired all day, go back and rest, I'm here to watch him."

Mengze's eyes were moist, she looked at Mo Xi, then glanced at Gu Mang behind Mo Xi, seemed to hesitate to speak, but finally gave a low "hmm", turned and left the military tent.
