Although the incident with Li Qingqian was over for now, Mo Xi knew that it was far from over.
Not to mention what people were guessing — what exactly did Madame Jiang say to Li Qingqian. Even the other details made Mo Xi feel that this was only the tip of the iceberg.
However, like he said, everyone had their own secrets, and so did he. Putting himself in Madame Jiang's shoes, he didn't want to look for trouble and ask about her past. Moreover, he still had Gu Mang's matter to arrange.
Previously, Jun Shang had said that whoever caught the real culprit first would have the right to monitor Gu Mang. However, Li Qingqian's obsession was dispelled by Madame Jiang's mysterious words in the end, and it had nothing to do with Xi He or Wang Shu. Jun Shang was very distressed about this, "Do I have to give Gu Mang to the Jiang Manor?"
The extremely wealthy Jiang Manor sent someone to answer, "We can't afford to raise him, and the landlord doesn't have any extra food, so no."
Therefore, Jun Shang thought that since Madame Jiang was invited by Murong Chuyi, then she should be handed over to Murong Chuyi.
Murong Chuyi's reply was only one word, "Poor."
Jun Shang was so angry that he fell backwards. These two families, one selling medicine and the other refining weapons, were among the wealthiest in Chong Hua. Now that both sides refused to accept Gu Mang, it was obvious that they didn't want to be involved in the fight between Wang Shu and Xi He. In the end, he had to be the one to offend others.
After careful consideration, Jun Shang finally gave an order to allow Mo Xi to bring the person back to his manor, and the "beast on the altar" finally moved to a new home.
Therefore, Mo Xi went to the Yue Manor to pick up the person.
When he arrived, he saw Murong Chuyi standing by the well railing, looking at the falling flowers with his hands behind his back. His white clothes were like the moonlight, graceful and elegant, but heartless.
Seeing him arrive, he glanced at him and didn't show any emotion. He simply said, "He's in the east wing's bedroom."
Mo Xi nodded and thanked him. Just as he was about to head to the east wing, he was stopped by Murong Chuyi, "Lord Xi He, please wait."
"What is it?"
Murong Chuyi pondered for a while and asked, "Has the Lord Xi He ever doubted whether Gu Mang has really lost his memory?"
"… Why do you suddenly ask?"
Murong Chuyi said, "When I went to see him last night, I heard him talking in his sleep."
This was not the first time this had happened. At that time in the Yin Prison, Gu Mang had also said that he wanted to have a home. Still, Mo Xi's heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to remain calm. "Is that so? What did he say?"
Murong Chuyi said, "A name. Lu Zhanxing. "
"…" Mo Xi clenched his fists and his meridians bulged.
Lu Zhanxing was Gu Mang's old friend. He was also one of the direct causes of Gu Mang's betrayal. Even though she knew that Lu Zhanxing only loved beautiful women, because his relationship with Gu Mang was too close, Mo Que had never had a good impression of this man. Now that she heard Gu Mang call out his name in her sleep, her heart couldn't help but stop, and her vision became a little dizzy.
However, he was usually very strong. Although his blood was cold, he still nodded and said coldly, "It's indeed suspicious."
"Although it may just be some remnants of his memory," Murong Chuyi said, "since you want to take him back to your residence, you should still be more careful. After all, he used to be an accomplice to the Burning Country. If he really pretended to be stupid and planned something else … then the trouble he caused will be far more difficult to deal with than the Li Qingqian. "
Mu Chuyi didn't need to say this. In fact, Mo Xi himself was also very concerned. Whether it was for the sake of Chong Hua or for his own selfish reasons, he wanted to find out as soon as possible.
Mo Xi, accompanied by Murong Chuyi, went to the east wing room. When they pushed the door open, they found that there was no one in the room. There was only a bamboo warrior standing by the bed in a daze.
Mo Xi's expression changed, "Where is he?"
The bamboo warrior raised his hand and pointed under the bed.
The two of them went over to take a look. Sure enough, they saw Gu Mang curled up under the bed and looked at them with a pair of blue eyes.
Seeing that they were looking down at him, he asked fiercely, "What are you looking at?"
Mo Xi, "…"
Murong Chuyi ordered the bamboo warrior, "Get him out."
Receiving the order, the warrior's joints cracked and he fell to the side with a thud, drilling into the bed. How could Gu Mang just sit there and wait for death? He kicked away the bamboo warrior's hand that was about to grab him and then quickly jumped out from under the bed. He supported himself with one hand and was about to run out. But before he could run two steps, he bumped into a solid chest with a bang.
Mo Xi said with a dark face, "Come back with me."
Gu Mang originally had a good impression of this person. But recently, he was either beaten up or tied up by him. When he met him, he was always unable to fight back. Even the curse mark on his neck was useless. Thus, he naturally didn't want to be controlled by Mo Xi. He glared at Mo Xi and raised his leg to kick him.
Mo Xi didn't even blink as he grabbed Gu Mang's ankle with one hand. The dark aura on his face became darker, "You've already kicked me like this once. Do you want to do it again?"
Gu Mang said, "Get out of the way."
His other leg flew into the air, intending to use the force to kick Mo Xi to the ground.
But who knew that even though he changed his next move, Mo Xi was still familiar with his movements. The moment he jumped into the air, Mo Xi had already dodged to the side and then raised his elbow to the side of Gu Mang's knee, dissipating most of his strength. Then, his movements were extraordinarily fast and ruthless. In the blink of an eye, Gu Mang was already on his shoulder.
Gu Mang was restrained and couldn't break free. But he refused to accept it and still shouted, "Let go of me — —"
Mo Xi's mind was already in a mess. What Lu Zhanxing? What real madness? Now that he saw Gu Mang resisting, he was even more furious. But because he couldn't vent his anger in the Yue residence, he suppressed it with a dark face.
But he still said to Murong Chuyi, "Do you have a tie?"
"I can't tie him up."
"Don't tie him up."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Seal his mouth."
Murong Chuyi: "…"
Naturally, Murong Chuyi wouldn't do such a thing, and Mo Xi couldn't let go either. Thus, they could only ask the Bamboo Warriors to help. The bamboo warrior raised his hand in a daze and stood in front of Gu Mang. He waited for Gu Mang to open his mouth, and the cloth wrapped around Gu Mang's mouth.
This method of binding was extremely erotic, but Murong Chuyi had no experience in bed, so he didn't feel anything wrong with it. He even said calmly, "Lord Xi He, rest in peace."
Therefore, when Mo Xi carried Gu Mang out, he was still completely unaware of the bamboo warrior's masterpiece.
It wasn't until he threw the man onto his carriage that he realized he was tied up like this. He couldn't help but be startled.
He subconsciously said, "You …"
Gu Mang couldn't speak at all, nor could he completely close his mouth. The coarse cloth was stuck between his teeth, and his hands were tied behind his back. His eyes were filled with anger, and he looked like he was about to die from anger, but at this moment, he couldn't scold or move. He could only lie in the carriage with his clothes disheveled, and look at Mo Xi as he gasped for breath.
Mo Xi's eyes suddenly darkened.
He couldn't help but think of some bad things, because his Senior Brother Gu had always been a very strong person. He wouldn't cry easily because of sadness, but in bed, it was a different matter.
Gu Mang's body had always been sensitive, and when he was strongly stimulated, he would instinctively cry.
In the past, he had helplessly told Mo Xi, "Don't think that I cry because I'm unhappy. In fact, I can't control myself …"
What he meant was, "Big Brother, I'm not crying because you f * * ked me, but because my body is weak."
At that time, Mo Xi held back his laughter and said, "Okay, I know."
Actually, he really liked to see Gu Mang cry in bed, especially when he was so stubborn and tried so hard to hold it in, but still choked with sobs. The ends of his eyes were long, his lips were soft, and tears rolled down his hot cheeks and flowed into his sideburns.
Every time at this moment, he would be sure that the fierce and fierce beast, his invincible Big Brother Gu Mang, also had a soft spot that he couldn't touch and couldn't bear.
Mo Xi used to be so affectionate and infatuated with his Senior Brother in bed.
He was so infatuated that even after so long, when he thought of Gu Mang at that time, he felt that he had already tasted the most extreme sex in the world, and from then on, he couldn't look at anyone else's face.
At this time, Gu Mang was just like when they were deeply in love, tightly bound by the cloth. His mouth was moist, his eyes were slightly dazed, and his blue pupils were wet like cumulonimbus clouds …
A storm was coming, and old desires were hard to dispel.
Mo Xi seemed to have been scalded by the steam, and suddenly turned his face away.
He was frightened by his own terrible desire, and felt ashamed — how could he be so obsessed with a traitor, and not forget?!
What he was doing now was not for lust, but for the sake of ending old hatred.
How could he have any desire for this body, and sink into it?
But a certain part of his body couldn't help but be so hot that it was almost burning. For so many years, ever since Gu Mang left, he didn't panic even in the face of beauty …
He couldn't help but recall the skin to skin entanglement and the hair to rub against each other.
In the past, Gu Mang was under him, being bitten by his earring, and bullied badly, but he was still unconvinced and said, "How could your Big Brother Gu Mang give in so easily? You can go deeper, but in the end, you always break down, choking and saying, "Junior Brother, you go in too deep, you're too big, I can't take it anymore."
It wasn't that he couldn't take it anymore.
It was that they were both tortured by each other to the point that they couldn't take it anymore, burning with fire and tormenting with love.
Even now, it was difficult to get rid of the lingering charm.
Mo Xi cursed silently, and simply picked up the soft pillow in the carriage and threw it at Gu Mang's face to cover it. He turned his head to look out the window.
They were silent the whole way.
When they returned to their own residence, the carriage stopped. The coachman outside said, "My lord, we've arrived."
Mo Xi originally wanted to drag Gu Mang down like this, but he lifted the soft pillow, glanced at Gu Mang, and quickly threw the pillow back.
He didn't want anyone else to see Gu Mang like this, not even the coachman. Thus, he sealed Gu Mang's unconscious acupoint, loosened the ropes, and then dragged him down the carriage with a dark face.
But unexpectedly, a cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Oh, Lord Xi He, you brought him back so quickly?"
Mo Xi subconsciously pulled Gu Mang into his arms, but then felt that something was wrong and pushed him away.
The Murong Lian held an opium pipe in his hand and looked in their direction with gentle eyes.
"…" Mo Xi suppressed the evil fire in his heart, took a breath, and said coldly, "What are you doing in front of my residence?"
"I'm just passing by."
"Then you can continue passing by. I won't accompany you."
"You —!" The Murong Lian narrowed his peach blossom eyes and gritted his teeth, "You surnamed Mo, let's wait and see! If you want to harbor this evil creature, you'll regret it! "
It was hard to say whether he would regret it or not, but the trouble was real.
Mo Xi had been thinking about how to deal with Gu Mang since he left the palace. It was impossible to let him live a comfortable life, but it was also impossible to throw him out to serve others like the Murong Lian. Thus, until he returned to his residence, Mo Xi still hadn't come up with a suitable solution.
In the study room, Mo Xi closed his eyes to rest. Coincidentally, one of his subordinates came in to change the candles, so he called out to him.
"Li Wei, don't go yet. I have something to ask you."
Although Li Wei was talkative and fussy, he had an iron loyalty. He was extraordinarily bold and always came up with novel ideas. He was also very meticulous in his work.
And sometimes, such as now, he was Mo Xi's inept military advisor.
"Master." The inept military advisor put the lampshade back in place and saluted, "Master, please ask. I'm all ears."
Mo Xi muttered, "What do you think … if a person pretends to be confused, what kind of situation would he be most likely to be exposed?"
Li Wei, "…"
Why don't you just say that you still don't want to give up and want to see if Gu Mang is faking it? Isn't this question obvious enough?
But everyone knew that Mo Xi was proud and arrogant. If his inner thoughts were exposed, this young general would be so angry that he wouldn't speak for several days.
Li Wei could only pretend that he didn't understand anything and said, "If he's faking it, he must be on guard all the time."
"Yes."
"This kind of person can't be tested deliberately. He's like an extremely cautious beast. He sniffs one step at a time. It's almost impossible for him to fall into a trap."
Mo Xi nodded, "Go on."
Li Wei suggested, "Since he's always on guard, why don't you let nature take its course and test him all the time?"
"… What do you mean?"
"Let him do more things." Li Wei's lazy little abacus crackled loudly in his mind, "Wash clothes, cook, wipe the floor, chop firewood, sleep, eat, bathe, and practice martial arts — in short, give him things to do. The more things he does, the more details he'll expose to His Lord. If he's faking it, it'll be easier for him to be exposed. It's like setting a trap. A beast can avoid it in time, but there are traps everywhere. He'll inevitably fall into them if he's careless. "
Mo Xi looked at him silently.
After a few moments of dead silence, Li Wei began to feel a little guilty. Could it be that Lord Xi He found out that he was too lazy to work and wanted to cultivate a capable assistant?
But at this moment, Mo Xi turned his face away and stood with his back to him by the window, "Okay, that's it. But I'm annoyed just looking at this person. Go and make the arrangements."
If it were someone stupid, they would definitely agree and say, "Okay, Lord Xi He, I'll make the arrangements right away." But the inept military advisor Li Wei was obviously not stupid.
He pretended to be ignorant to the end and said blankly, "Ah? Who is Lord Xi He talking about? Who are you going to arrange? "
Mo Xi came back to his senses and coughed dryly before saying, "Oh, I forgot to tell you."
Li Wei humbly asked for advice.
Mo Xi said, "It's Gu Mang. I've already brought him back and hit his unconscious acupoint. He's still … sleeping in my room. I don't care about him. Find a place for him to stay and find something to do. "
Li Wei was shocked at first. He thought, "There's actually a second person sleeping in His Lord's bedroom? Isn't he very mysophobic? " But after thinking for a while, he quickly figured it out.
His Lord had once fought a war with Gu Mang. At that time, the two of them were not famous people. Presumably, they didn't live well and had probably made do in the same tent. So now, it doesn't seem inappropriate for Gu Mang to sleep in His Lord's bed again.
After figuring this out, Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief. He secretly rolled his eyes and criticized, "Everyone knows that you and the Lord Wangshu had a quarrel and brought the beast back to the nest. Why are you still pretending to be casual here?"
But he pretended to be frightened, "Ah, it's, it's that Gu, Gu, Gu …"
Mo Xi said impatiently, "Yes, Gu Mang. When did you start stuttering? "
"Yes, yes, yes! Gu Mang! "Li Wei was simply the reincarnation of a drama master." Heavens, it's actually him! Who in Chong Hua doesn't know that he can fight? I'm afraid he's going to kill me! "
"…" Mo Xi said, "I've already placed a Howling Curse on him. If he has any fluctuations of spiritual power, I'll know immediately. You don't have to worry. Go."
Li Wei confirmed several times and thanked him profusely until Mo Xi's eyebrows were burning and his fingers were clenched into fists. Only then did he say obsequiously, "Yes, then I'll act boldly."
Mo Xi had already lost all patience. He waved his hand to chase him away, "Get out."
Li Wei immediately slipped away and began to arrange Gu Mang's life in Xi He's residence.
