Mo Xi raised his hand to interrupt him: "... When did I sleep with your niece?"
"You, you don't even recognize me!" Uncle was furious and pointed at Mo Xi's nose, "Wow, everyone says that Xihe-Jun is a gentleman, but I think you are a beast! Recognize someone, and punish your woman's cousin, you, you, you are just a white-eyed wolf!"
He shouted vigorously here, but the expressions of the few people next to him were different from each other. The guard who admired Mo Xi looked like he was going crazy, while the other two people who spread rumors were trembling. Gu Mang was wearing a face covering, so he couldn't see his expression at all, but he was still indifferent.
As for Mo Xi himself, he sat on the chair in the military tent, folded his hands on his knees, stared at this person for a while, and said, "Mengze is kind to me, I will look at her face and call you again. Senior. Senior, I don't know who told you such absurd things, but I tell you now, Mengze is very innocent and has never had an affair with me."
"Bah! You're a liar, don't pretend to be a serious person here in neat clothes!"
Mo Xi suppressed his anger and said, "Although I am alone with Mengze in the central army tent, I have no intention of overstepping. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
"Who told you about the big tent of the central army?" My uncle raised his thick eyebrows and looked contemptuous, "Do you still want to do something to my niece in the big tent of the central army? Rogue! I'm talking about noon! You're in your own tent - oh, I'm too embarrassed to talk about you, you know what you've done to Mengze!"
Mo Xi: "..."
Gu Mang: "…"
Seeing that Mo Xi's face changed slightly and he didn't say a word, his uncle was a little proud. He bared his teeth and sneered, "You're right? Are you still quibbling this time?"
"Xihe-kun, I was in the Chiling camp, and I heard that your northern army is very strict, and you have never been mistaken by women. Today, it seems that you are just daring to do it! Alas, it's a pity that my The stupid niece is blind, and others look down on her, but she looks down on you, a wicked person with a human face and a beast heart, and she has been defiled by you..."
Relying on his age and status, his words became more and more mean, Mo Xi's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips, but Gu Mang couldn't listen anymore.
"It's not over yet?"
"What are you?" Cousin looked at him several times and rolled his eyes: "Oh, just a bodyguard, actually came to teach the royal family a lesson, huh, it's a strange story in the world!"
After speaking, a string of sneer, neither Yin nor Yang, emerged from the throat.
Before he could finish laughing, he heard Mo Xi say, "You are right."
"At noon, I did have a private meeting with someone in the tent."
Everyone was shocked! Every pair of eyes turned to Mo Xi.
The uncle was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, look at it! Look at it! I'm not wrong at all, right? Little Fireball, it's nothing to know Mu Shaoai, and you don't violate it. Anything about military discipline, as long as you—"
Mo Xi interrupted him.
"Waiter."
The valet seemed to be unable to turn around, and responded with extremely complicated emotions: "Yes."
"Remember the mistakes of my private meeting and participate in the punishment of the emperor."
"… Yes."
Before Mo Xi could finish his words, he leaned back on the chair, slender fingers crossed, and then said word by word: "Besides this, let's remember the rumors spread in front of the three-person formation of Chiling Camp, and join them together. ."
"?!" The cousin's eyes widened, "Mo Xi, you, what do you mean? You have already admitted your actions, but you still say I'm waiting to spread rumors, you, you, you, why are you! "
Mo Xi stood up, his eyes that were as cold as glazed beads stared at him, and looked at him coldly.
"Because that person is not Princess Mengze."
"!!!"
If Mo Xi admitted that he had an affair with someone earlier, it was horrifying, then after those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the military tent was like a bow and crossbow that had been smashed, and it suddenly shattered.
The rest of the people didn't need to say anything, even Gu Mang opened his blue eyes wide and stared at Mo Xi in amazement.
Mo Xi walked to the uncle, stretched out his hand, raised his fat face, and whispered, "I really have endured you for too long."
"Since the day Mengze rescued me, for nearly ten years, you have made up every day, and every word is false, and today it has been passed to me directly. Senior, I just want to ask you - is it interesting?"
"… "
"It is said that I have a relationship with Mengze, and that I have a relationship with Mengze. Do you think that as long as you talk too much, I will really marry her, or because you think you understand me better than myself?"
"Over the years, I have respected Mengze and am grateful to her. I have said it countless times before and after, but no one listens to me. You listen to the wind and it is rain, and I can only say that I am ready to marry her at any time."
Mo Xi paused: "Meng Zeruo really married into the Xihe Mansion, is it good for her or for you?"
The uncle's face gradually turned yellow, his eyes dodged and said: "Xihejun, what are you talking about..."
"Ask you." Mo Xi said in a sensible manner, "You are dedicated to building momentum, and even slandering the innocence of your own niece. You are very clear about what your Murong family is doing. Why bother to ask me again."
"You... you..." Uncle's fat lips like pig intestines trembled for a while, and his eyes rolled around. But also because of a guilty conscience and can not say more words.
Mo Xi straightened up and closed his eyes a little sullenly.
Just when he was about to end the conversation, the uncle suddenly thought of a new place to stand, raised his eyebrows and shouted anxiously: "Mo Xi, you... you, you, you don't need to make up other reasons! I see you, you. He's a cold-hearted person!"
"… "
"Meng Ze and you were childhood sweethearts since childhood, and there is no guessing between the two, who didn't know that you were interested in her?"
Mo Xi's phoenix eyes widened. In this dispute, he was at fault, disgusted, angry and tired, but he was not at a loss. But the uncle's words almost shocked him.
He almost choked for a while before asking, "...Why did I have an interest in her?"
My uncle said: "If you didn't have an interest in her originally, why did she hurt herself so much in order to save you during the Dongting Water War? Since she was able to treat you like that, it must be because you treated her well, otherwise who wouldn't? Do you want to do this for others for no reason? Do you want to say that Mengze is self-indulgent?!"
Of course, Mo Xi couldn't put the sentence "self-indulgent" on Mengze in order to clarify himself. Seeing that he was silent, the uncle became more and more energetic: "Now that she is broken and she is old, you can't look down on her, and you are eager to draw a clear line with her. Everyone says that Xihejun is a kind and righteous man. My gentleman, it turns out that you are not only not a gentleman, but also a despicable and shameless person!"
The last eight words were rhythmically and loudly, and there was silence in the tent for a long time, when someone suddenly caressed him.
"Awesome, are you finished, brother?"
My uncle turned his head and saw that it was the little guard beside Mo Xi who slapped his hand. He couldn't help but say angrily, "Why is it you again? They said that you are not worthy of talking to me!"
Gu Mang smiled and said, "I didn't plan to talk to you either, I just wanted to ask if you're comfortable talking."
After saying that, he turned his head to the guard and said, "Brother Lao, take this senior down, find a tent and lock it up and keep it under control. It doesn't mean anything, it's just that the senior's tongue is like a lotus flower, and the statement is too brilliant. Let him go out and shout like this, we don't have to fight this battle, just convict Xi Hejun directly."
The guard was still immersed in the shock of "Xi He Jun actually had a private meeting with someone in the tent" and couldn't extricate himself. "
Before Mo Xi could speak, he heard his uncle shout: "The surname is Mo! What can I do even if you shut me down at the moment? If you have the ability, you can tell the whole Chonghua that you have a new love, don't say that we support Murong. With ulterior motives, let's see how other unrelated people will judge you! I tell you Fireball, if you lose Mengze, you are morally corrupt! As for whoever climbs up on you in private, she is—"
It's what he didn't have time to say. Mo Xi suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his throat. Mo Xi's strength was extremely strong. Although he didn't intend to hurt this person, he was still in a fit of rage, but he still held him by the throat for a while, almost out of breath.
Mo Xi lifted him from the ground with one hand, stared at the blushing face and said, "...I suddenly remembered."
"Senior, your name is Murong Lie, isn't it?"
Murong Lie was pinched off the ground by him, his feet were kicked, and he rolled his eyes like a pig's liver and stared at him.
"It is rumored that when Xianwangshu insisted on not marrying Mrs. Zhao as his wife, there was a hundred officials' advice. Among them, the one with the most harsh words was a distant relative named Murong Lie."
"—is that you?"
"Woo... woooo...!"
Mo Xi's black eyes flashed with icy luster, obviously he had endured to the extreme, and he said every word: "From Xianwangshu, to me. Senior, you are really like a day for thirty years, every moment. I'm worrying and working hard for other people's marriage. But the younger generation may disappoint you, Mengze is like a sister to me, even if I become a shameless person in the mouth of the heavy Chinese, I will never marry her as a wife."
Murong Lie was almost crushed to death by him, his eyes rolled white and he was panting, watching the two nobles of the Chiling Camp around him, shaking like chaff.
Seeing that pinching again would really kill him, Mo Xi's slender fingers loosened, and Murong Lie suddenly fell back to the ground like mud, clutching his red neck and gasping for breath.
"Senior may have benefited from Xianwangshu, but I remind you today. Xianwangshu is Xianwangshu, I am me. What happened to him more than 30 years ago will not happen to me. Repeat. Chonghua has no shortage of Xian Wangshu." Mo Xi paused, "There is also no shortage of Mrs. Zhao. You can rest assured."
After speaking, he waved his hand slyly and ordered his valet to suppress him and the other two rumor-mongers.
After waiting for everyone to retreat, Mo Xi raised his hand and resumed applying the barrier in the tent.
Gu Mang looked at him worriedly from the side: "Mo Xi, although he is in a hurry, it's not that there is no way to get around it. Why do you need to admit truthfully what happened in the tent at noon?"
Mo Xi glanced at him and said, "I didn't just admit it to him. I also told Mengze."
Gu Mang was startled: "What did you say?"
"Say I already have a crush."
"… "
"I told her before, and she doesn't believe it. But I probably noticed something recently, so I know that I didn't lie to her." Mo Xi said, "You don't have to think too much, this kind of thing can't be hidden sooner or later. I have to attack Daze City again, I still have some files to look at, you should rest early."
Gu Mang looked at his deep brows with a somewhat stubborn expression, his heart was messy and sour, he couldn't help sighing: "Oh, what are you...why..."
Mo Xi set up the last barrier and turned around and said, "I am willing."
"… "
Gu Mang sighed and said nothing. He walked up to hold his head, was silent for a while, and touched his forehead.
Late at night.
Gu Mang was not sleepy. Mo Xi was reading the file. He was eating snacks and reading the memoir he had written. After reading it for a while, he suddenly closed the volume and said, "Mo Xi."
Mo Xi raised his head from the scroll, raised his hand to hold a silver spoon, and lit the candle: "What's wrong?"
Gu Mang said, "I suddenly thought of it, I forgot to ask before, what happened to Xianwangshu and Mrs. Zhao that you and that Muronglie mentioned... What happened to them?"
Mo Xi's eyelashes twitched lightly, "Mrs. Zhao is Murong Lian's mother, don't you have any impression of her?"
"I don't remember it very clearly." Gu Mang said, "And I had very little contact with her. She didn't like to talk a lot with people. When she was alive, she didn't control her servants much, but she always treated Murong Lian. It's very strict, the most common thing in the mansion is that she won't let Murong Lian do this or that, it's all according to her will."
After a pause, he smiled embarrassedly: "But she looks pretty good."
Mo Xi said, "Mrs. Zhao is indeed outstanding in appearance. She used to be one of the most beautiful women in Chonghua. Back then, she was ordered to marry Xian Wangshu by the late monarch... that is, Murong Xuan, Murong Lian's father. Her talent and looks are impeccable. The family background is also the same as Xianwangshu's family, but Murong Xuan had a relationship with another lowly woman at that time, so he didn't want to marry her, and the scene was very embarrassing."
Gu Mang scratched his head. Although he did not remember these rumors, he could indeed deduce some past entanglements between Mrs. Zhao and Murong Xuan from other memories, so it was not surprising.
He tentatively asked, "Then why did Murong Xuan agree to marry her?"
"The situation is stressful, and there are various other reasons." Mo Xi shook his head, "It's been a long time, there have been rumors, and there are all kinds of rumors. Why are you thinking about this all of a sudden? "
Gu Mang said, "Well... because I remember a person who is also a slave of Wangshu's residence. When I was young, she took care of me very much. I always thought that she might be the girl Xianwangshu once liked—"
Mo Xi said, "It won't be her."
Hearing his categorical veto, Gu Mang was a little surprised: "Why?"
"The girl Xianwang Shu likes is an ordinary citizen from Lin'an, not a servant."
Gu Mang put another piece of mung bean cake into his mouth, his cheeks bulged slightly, and his long black hair hung down gently on his cheeks: "Ah, since she is not a slave, why can't she marry Xian Wangshu?"
"Because even if it's not a slave, the status is too different, and the girl seems to have been injured before, and I can't remember her background. I don't know the specifics, but I have heard many different opinions. Said that Lin'an belonged to Yue Juntian's fief, and the people were all under the jurisdiction of Yue Juntian, but Yue Juntian and Xianwangshu had always had a bad relationship. After knowing that he was in love with a Lin'an girl, he encouraged his party members to go to the emperor together. Advice, accusing the girl of being an undercover agent of Liaoguo, and finally forcing the girl to leave Xianwangshu." Mo Xi put down the scroll, he has always disliked such gossip rumors, and when he listened to others, he was very disgusted. More and more embarrassed.
He paused for a while before continuing: "But there is a more popular saying that Yue Juntian did not say that she was an undercover agent of Liao Kingdom, but sent someone to inquire about her origin, and later learned that she was She used to be a prostitute in a brothel, so she reported it to Your Majesty, so it is natural that a Lin'an woman would not be able to enter the Wangshu Mansion and become Mrs. Murong."
He rubbed his brow bone with a headache and said, "That's about it, there are many other sayings, I don't remember them. But most of them have something to do with Yue Juntian, saying that he spoiled the marriage in the end. Yes, he felt that the girl was a commoner of his own fief, her origin was unknown, and she was unwilling to take responsibility, so he was always opposed to their marriage."
Gu Mang saw his helpless gossip, which looked funny and pitiful, so he hurriedly walked around and pinched his shoulders for him, lying on his back and coaxing, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it if I can't remember. ."
"Sorry. If you're interested, I'll go to the bookstore next time to buy you a strange anecdote..."
Gu Mang hurriedly said, "No, no."
Ask Mo Xi to buy the strange news? Don't make it difficult for other people's small business, the shopkeeper should think that he is here to seal up the book stand.
The two chatted and chatted, and the night passed like this.
The matter of Mengze, although there are rumors in the army that he has gone privately, but the situation is urgent, and the military discipline of the Northern Army is much better than the other two battalions, so most of the rumors are only circulated in Chiling Camp and cannot be lifted for the time being. What waves come.
When dawn broke the next day, Chonghua launched a second siege against Daze City as planned.
