"You won't let me eat," Gu Mang said, emphasizing each word. "I. Am. Hungry! "
Flames flared up. Gu Mang waved his hand and cast a spell — the Murong Lian's pupils suddenly contracted!
In the nick of time, a sand enchantment suddenly rose from the ground, setting off a shockwave that knocked the Murong Lian over and blocked Gu Mang's flames.
"Cough, cough, cough!" The Murong Lian coughed as he climbed up from the ground. He wiped the dust off his face and immediately turned around to see Mo Xi standing not far away, controlling the protective enchantment.
"…" The Murong Lian brushed the dirt off his body and said eerily, "You threw me on purpose?"
Mo Xi said, "Go back. You're no match for him."
The Murong Lian's thin lips moved. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard an ominous cracking sound. The thick protective enchantment was torn apart in an instant! Sand and sand fell everywhere. A bayonet surrounded by black smoke broke through the last layer of the enchantment and headed straight for the Murong Lian!
This bayonet was —
Mo Xi's heart went cold.
This was … this was the MCMAU that Gu Mang had summoned on the Dongting Lake battleship years ago, the one that had stabbed him in the heart!
However, MCMAU was the same as Shenwu. Both required Gu Mang to chant a spell to summon it! Logically speaking, after Gu Mang lost his memory, he should no longer have the ability to summon this murderous blade, not to mention that his spiritual nucleus was shattered. But now, why …?!
Before he could finish his thoughts, the bayonet had already broken through his protective enchantment and struck him like lightning.
Mo Xi was familiar with Gu Mang's methods. He turned his head abruptly and shouted at the Murong Lian, "Dodge to the left!!"
The Murong Lian was stunned. The bayonet was supposed to be thrown to the left. Normally, he should dodge to the right. Why did Mo Xi ask him to dodge to the left?
It was this moment of hesitation. It was too late for him to dodge. The bayonet went straight for the left, but suddenly turned to the right at the last moment like a cunning snake! Seeing that the Murong Lian was about to be hurt, Mo Xi rushed over and pushed the Murong Lian away.
The bayonet entered his abdomen and blood splattered!
Everyone's expression changed. "Lord Xi!"
"Lord Xi, how are you?!"
However, Mo Chime could not hear the voices of the others.
He took a deep breath, and his hand landed on the hilt of the knife. With a fierce tug, he pulled out the bayonet, and blood immediately dripped onto the ground.
He raised his dark eyes and looked into the distance. Amidst the flying sand and stones, Gu Mang was still releasing a strong spiritual current. The wind from the battlefield many years ago seemed to blow back at this moment, accompanied by Gu Mang's brutal gaze and the bloody bayonet in his hand.
At that time, Gu Mang had said to him —
"As a general, as a soldier, as a person, one cannot be too sentimental about old friendships."
"You and I are brothers. This is the last thing I can teach you."
Mo Xi suddenly wanted to laugh, but in the end, his laughter was filled with deep hatred. Hahaha, he had almost died once at Gu Mang's hands. What was this small wound in his abdomen compared to this?! Mo Xi gritted his teeth. He stood up straight and a fierce red wave condensed in his palm. He walked step by step towards Gu Mang.
Gu Mang obviously felt the hostility on his body. When Mo Xi approached, the spiritual current around him exploded again. But Mo Xi only used one palm to break his light formation, and it exploded with a bang.
The cultivators who were fighting at the side were stunned. "Ah! It's too, too scary … "
"The Mo family's bloodline is really powerful …"
Someone muttered, "But Lord Xi He is so good at fighting. How did Gu Mang stab him in the heart back then?"
Hearing the last sentence, the Murong Lian couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. He looked thoughtfully at the two men who were at loggerheads with each other.
On the other side, Gu Mang was about to make another killing move, but before he could even form a seal, he heard Mo Xi's angry shout, "Come! Summon!! "
A scarlet snake whip whizzed through the air.
Mo Xi wrinkled his nose and his expression changed. He shouted angrily, "Gu Mang! Do you really think that I won't fight with you for the rest of my life?!! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Ran stabbed towards Gu Mang like lightning. The snake whip tore through the wind and snow, and fiercely lashed out! Gu Mang couldn't dodge in time. His shoulder was injured by the whip, and blood spurted out in an instant. Gu Mang looked at his wound. His violent and muddled mind seemed to clear up a little. He shook his head and subconsciously took a step back.
"Stop right there!"
Gu Mang: "…"
"Where else can you go?" A hoarse voice sounded. Lai Ran tied Gu Mang up! Mo Xi released the hand that was covering his wound. His hand was full of blood, and then suddenly — he grabbed Gu Mang's neck!
Mo Xi said angrily, "You're not stupid at all!"
"You can still summon this magic weapon! You remember the incantation. You're still used to fighting like before. You clearly remember everything! "
Gu Mang was choked until he couldn't speak. His pale face slowly turned red, and his fingers moved with difficulty.
Mo Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Speak! What do you want to do by coming back to Chong Hua?! "
"…"
Gu Mang raised his arm and covered Mo Xi's fingers that were choking his neck with trembling hands. Blue eyes met black eyes. The black eyes were filled with endless fire, but the blue eyes were wet. Gu Mang couldn't breathe. He was afraid that he would be strangled to death like this.
"I …"
Mo Xi said angrily, "Speak!"
The surrounding people were frightened and didn't dare to say anything. But at this moment, a rush of horse hooves suddenly came from afar. Someone shouted loudly,
"Lord Xi He! Please be merciful! "
"Hey —" The female officer who rushed over reined in the spirit horse and jumped down. She knelt on the snowy ground and exhaled white air, "Lord Xi He, please be merciful!"
Then she bowed to Mo Xi and the Murong Lian respectively.
"Lord Wangshu, Lord Xi He, His Majesty has heard about this and has sent me to arrest the criminal Gu Mang!"
Mo Xi couldn't see anyone else at this moment. He couldn't hear anything.
In the end, it was the Murong Lian who turned around and asked, "What? Where are you taking him? "
"Lord Wangshu, His Majesty has ordered me to bring him directly to Chong Hua Palace. After His Majesty heard about this, he has already summoned the best medical officers in the territory. They are now in the palace, waiting for Gu Mang's second consultation. "
As she spoke, she glanced at Mo Xi's hand that was holding Gu Mang's hand and immediately added, "This is a serious matter. You must not kill on your own!"
Mo Xi didn't even look at her. He was still staring fiercely at Gu Mang's face, "…"
The female officer knew that he was ruthless. Who knew what he would do on impulse? She couldn't help but remind him, "Lord Xi He!"
Mo Xi still didn't say anything, as if he was trying to endure something. After a while, he suddenly let go of Gu Mang's hand and let him kneel on the snowy ground. He turned around and looked at the wind and snow in front of him.
The female officer finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again, "Thank you, Lord Xi He, for your understanding."
In the heavy snow, Mo Xi stood with his back to everyone with his hands behind his back. He didn't say a word.
But when the female officer went to pick up Gu Mang who was kneeling on the snowy ground, he turned his face slightly and said in a low voice, "Stop."
"What are your orders, Lord Xi He?"
Mo Xi said, "I'll go with you."
"…" The female officer was stunned for a moment. She said, "When Shennong Terrace is doing a diagnosis, there can't be too many high-level cultivators present to avoid spiritual fluctuations. Even if you go, you can only wait outside the hall first … "
"Okay." Mo Xi still didn't turn around. His tone was frighteningly hard. He said word by word, "Then I'll wait outside!"
Since he said so, the female officer couldn't say anything else. Gu Mang was brought back to the Chong Hua Palace by the female officer first. Mo Xi also followed.
After about two hours, the palace suddenly sent out a messenger snowy owl, urgently summoning all the important officials to come and listen to the discussion.
It was late at night. Almost all the important officials were dragged out of their beds by this imperial edict. The most unlucky one was Elder Yu of the Sky Bearing Terrace. He was having fun in a brothel in the north of the city. At the critical moment, a fat bird suddenly smashed a hole in the window. The fat bird shouted, "Wah wah wah wah! Jun Shang has ordered! Jun Shang has ordered! All first-rank officials, please hurry to the throne room to listen to the discussion of Gu Mang's case! "
Elder Yu immediately wilted. He got up and put on his clothes while cursing, "Wasn't his case closed long ago?! Why is there suddenly another matter?! "
"Aiyo, Daren, don't be angry." The amorous woman got up from the couch and helped him put on his clothes, "Since Jun Shang summoned us so urgently, he must have his reasons."
"Bullsh * t reason! It's so late at night. He just doesn't want us to rest! "
The woman reached out her soft hand and tapped his lips. She smiled languidly, "Daren, you can't say such things. Be careful that the walls have ears."
"What are you afraid of? I'm just saying it in front of you. " Elder Yu rolled his eyes, "The current Jun Shang does whatever he wants. It's not the first time he's summoned us in the middle of the night. He's young and vigorous, but doesn't he think about us old bones? Can we withstand such a disturbance? "
The woman said softly, "Daren, what are you talking about? You're always so firm and fierce when you're here, making people feel so good. Hee hee, if you're old, then what am I? "
These words couldn't be more fake, as if the one who just wilted wasn't Elder Yu. However, Elder Yu was quite used to it. He chuckled and pinched her pink cheeks. Then, he kissed her neck and said, "I'm going, I'm going. Little darling, I'll come find you again tomorrow."
The woman giggled and sent him out of the door. Naturally, she acted as if she didn't want him to leave. But when the door closed, her face immediately fell. She spat, "Old thing, a soft spear head. You look like a dead toad that has been soaked in feces. If it weren't for you having so much money, this old lady wouldn't bother to serve you."
After saying that, she immediately went behind the screen to take a bath and change into a clean set of clothes. Then, she sat in front of the dressing table and began to dress herself again.
She had stayed in this brothel for many years and was no longer young and beautiful. However, she was good at work and was willing to endure. She also tried her best to serve the customers. She never showed the slightest discomfort to the customers, so many old customers still liked her name.
"Those young girls' minds are too active. Although they don't say it, they can see it in their eyes. Yu Niang, you're still the best. You're sincere."
Every time she heard Elder Yu say this to her, she would laugh in her heart.
She wasn't sincere, but after mingling in this kind of place for more than ten years, her face had long been covered with heavy makeup that couldn't be removed. Her eyebrows, her eyes, her smile, even if she hated it to death in her heart, she would never let others see any emotion.
Otherwise, what could she use to compete with those fresh and tender bodies?
She looked at the bronze mirror and carefully repainted the lips that were kissed by Elder Yu. Then, she took a piece of lip paper and pressed it on a thick red color. She sat and waited for the second customer to open the door.
She didn't have to wait too long before the sandalwood door opened with a creak.
Yu Niang hurriedly put on her warmest smile and looked up to welcome the guest: "Young master, you …" Her voice came to an abrupt stop when she saw the face of the guest. After a moment, her bright red lips opened and suddenly let out a shrill scream. "Ah ah — —!!!"
The person in front of her door was actually a bloody man!
This man was wrapped in bandages, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were stained with scarlet. Among them, there was a sticky eyeball stuck on the nail of his left hand. He looked at her and said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't scream."
After that, the man slowly walked in, raised his hand, and stuffed the eyeball into his mouth. He swallowed it in one gulp and chewed twice before it fell into his stomach.
After eating the eyeball, he seemed to have obtained some kind of elixir. His face revealed a very comfortable expression. He licked his lips and slowly turned his eyes to look at the pale Yu Niang.
"A pot of tea."
"… …"
Seeing that Yu Niang didn't respond, his tone became more impatient: "Give me a pot of tea!"
What kind of tea is this!
Yu Niang was scared out of her wits. She fell from the embroidery stool and trembled all over. She wanted to step back, but her hands and feet were cold and did not listen to her.
After trembling for a while, she let out a shrill scream as if she had lost her mind. She staggered to get up and run out of the room: "Help! Help me — — there's a ghost … … there's a ghost!! "
She thought of Elder Yu who had just left. At this moment, she felt that Elder Yu was tall and powerful from the bottom of her heart. She quickly hysterically shouted: "Elder!! Elder Yu!!! "
She banged the door open and staggered out.
Strangely enough, the man who ate the eyeball did not move at all. It was as if he didn't care about her running out. His blood-stained lips opened, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He sneered.
"Elder — —! Ah ah ah!!! "
Yu Niang ran to the edge of the stairs and saw the situation below. Her legs went soft and she fell down with a plop. She could no longer get up.
From the first floor … … to the wooden steps … … unknowingly, it was all, all corpses … …
Only the center of the brothel's hall was still surrounded by three or four prostitutes. They were all scared out of their wits and huddled together. Their beautiful faces were full of tears.
And the first rank official — — Elder Yu of the Sky Bearing Terrace was actually lying on a table downstairs. His eyes were only left with two bloody holes.
Yu Niang shook her head repeatedly: "… … No … … No … …"
Why did the Imperial Army not notice such a big commotion?
Why, why did she not hear the screams of the people outside even though she was clearly in the room, separated by a wall?
As if seeing through her thoughts, a voice behind her slowly said: "In this world, Chong Hua is not the only country that has its own secret technique. I want to prevent others from hearing the commotion, there are many ways. "
Footsteps were heard.
The man wrapped in bandages walked out from the shadows. In his hand was a flower and bird peony patterned teapot. He raised his head and poured half of the tea into it. Then he took a sip and threw the teapot away.
With a bang, it was smashed into pieces!
"You don't have to be afraid. I won't kill you for the time being. " The man slowly walked over and grabbed her hair. He slowly walked down the wooden steps and threw her and the four or five surviving girls together. Then he pulled out a chair and sat down in front of them. His bloodshot eyes looked at them one by one.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth: "All of you. Look at each other's faces. I'll give you all the time it takes to burn a stick of incense. "
After that, he raised his hand and slammed the brothel's door shut.
Then he waved his hand again. From the corpses on the floor, three people stood up, including Elder Yu. They staggered and walked towards the center of the hall.
Yu Niang was the only one who could still speak. The others looked like they were scared out of their wits.
"You … … you … … you … … what exactly … …"
"You want to ask, what exactly do I want to do?"
The man finished her sentence for her and then sneered, "Didn't I say? I'll give you all the time it takes to burn a stick of incense. I want you all to look at each other's faces. "
"Then, then … … what?"
"Then?" The man carelessly touched his chin and pondered. For a moment, he didn't say anything.
It was as if her simple question had stumped him.
At this time, the three corpses he summoned were close. The eyeless Elder Yu stretched out her hand and pulled Yu Niang's arm. Yu Niang screamed: "No! Don't touch me!! Don't touch me!!! "
"Did you scare the girls?" The man said slowly and turned to look at Elder Yu, "Old thing, why do you still remember to touch them even when you're dead."
Elder Yu raised her head and made a gurgling sound, as if she was trying to explain something to the man.
However, the man only snorted twice and raised his hand. Suddenly, a black gas rushed out and hit Elder Yu's forehead. Elder Yu instantly collapsed to the ground, spasming and convulsing. In the end, he turned into a pool of blood.
"So long-winded, so annoying."
The other two corpses seemed to have sensed something. Their footsteps became stiffer, and their movements became more cautious. They slowly walked over and finally carried six chairs. They carefully placed them beside the brothel girls, and then made a bowing gesture.
The man opened his mouth and said: "Please sit."
— — If he wasn't covered in blood and had just committed so many evil deeds, his tone could be considered polite.
"What, do you need people to help you?"
Although the girls were scared out of their wits, in fact, they still listened to every word he said. It was just that their whole body seemed to be frozen. After a long time, they recovered and quickly climbed up and sat on the chairs one by one. No matter what, they didn't want this bandaged man or the two corpses to touch them.
Yu Niang choked: "You, you are … … who … … who are you?"
"No hurry." The man said, "When you do as I say and answer a few questions, I will let you know."
After a pause, he said: "Oh. That's right. By the way, let me remind you girls, don't expect anyone to save you. I have cast a barrier spell on the door. No one will be able to detect it for a while. "
After he finished speaking, he slowly turned his head and looked at the closed door of the brothel. Then, he licked his lips. The scarlet red in his eyes deepened. Finally, he smiled: "Then, shall we begin?"
Just as the bandaged man said, perhaps it was because the Fallen Plum Garden had attracted the attention of the imperial guards tonight, or perhaps it was because his secret technique was too powerful, but for the time being, no one knew that such a thing had happened in the north of the city.
Chong Hua Royal City was still peaceful for the time being.
The first-rank cultivators in charge of various important positions came in front of the royal staircase one after another. Mo Xi had been waiting outside for a long time. After the Murong Lian came, he chose to stand beside him outside the throne room.
In the wind and snow, Mo Xi's side profile appeared even colder. The Murong Lian glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the front and softly sneered:
"Lord Xi He, you've really been waiting in this heavy snow?"
Mo Xi didn't say anything. He silently let the snow cover his shoulders. The Murong Lian paused for a while. When he didn't get a reply, he spoke again:
"Speaking of which, let me ask you something. You were so angry outside the Fallen Plum Garden before. Was it because you think Gu Mang isn't stupid?"
Mo Xi closed his eyes. A faint dark aura crept up his face: "…"
The Murong Lian was not tactful at all. He continued arrogantly: "But based on my understanding of you, I suspect that if no one stopped you, you would really strangle him to death?"
"…"
"You …"
Mo Xi suddenly turned his head and said angrily: "Murong Lian, are you done being annoying?!"
The snowy night was quiet and solemn. Lord Xi He's sudden anger shocked all the cultivators present. They all craned their necks to look at the two of them.
The Murong Lian was humiliated. His face turned green and white. Just as he was about to say something, the vermilion lacquered door opened. The official who came to deliver the message came out and bowed to the important officials.
"Senior Immortals, His Majesty invites you."
The Murong Lian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "You with the surname Mo, just you wait!"
Mo Xi strode forward. The bayonet at his waist flashed, leaving the Murong Lian behind.
