"The beast of the empire is not a fool who has been used all the time."
When Mengze heard this, he let out a low voice, and said in surprise, "He knew it during the Dongting water battle?"
"Yes."
"Then, then... Could it be that he stabbed Big Brother Mo at the time and didn't stop me from taking the seriously injured him away, so that I could find out that Big Brother Mo's spiritual core had been eroded by the puppet pill?"
Murong Lian nodded and said, "Mostly so."
Meng Ze murmured: "It was precisely because I wanted to heal Big Brother Mo's spiritual core injury that I was able to realize that Big Brother Mo had been hit with a puppet pill, so I tried my best to strip it off, but I didn't take this matter away. I felt strange in my heart when I reported it to Your Majesty, but after several investigations, I realized that it was Your Majesty’s conspiracy…”
She turned her head and looked at Gu Mang, who was unaware of the so-called at the moment, her face paled: "So at that time, you... you did it on purpose..."
When Gu Mang heard her talking about himself, he was dumbfounded: "What? What is it on purpose?"
Mo Xi shook his head and said, "Impossible. I have read the letters between Gu Mang and Junshang. For the past five years, he has been passing information to Junshang. If he knew about it, why would he be willing to continue to cast a black magic spell on Junshang?"
"Then Fireball, do you think that in the early days of Gu Mang's letters to the emperor, there were a lot of secrets about casting the Liao Kingdom's black magic spell. But in the later stage, he often only provided secret reports on the military and national conditions, but rarely talked about the black magic. technique?"
"… "
After Murong Lian said this, Mo Xi recalled the letters he had read at that time, and it was true.
Murong Lian said: "Gu Mang is very clear that if he is exposed, Murong Chen will not hesitate to silence him, or simply give up his chess piece, and then order others to continue to search for secret techniques in Liao Kingdom. So he Even though he already knew what kind of person Murong Chen was, he still held back and wrote a letter to the Lord Xiu as usual."
"Just after the fight, he paid great attention. The letters he sent to the emperor rarely talked about the black magic. Even if he did, he only wrote some things that seemed to be very confidential, but were actually not of much use."
Mo Xi: "...how did you know so clearly?"
Murong Lian filled the tobacco pouch with shredded tobacco, lit it, and took a sip between his lips. In the light blue smoke he exhaled, he said solemnly, "Because these words were spoken to me by Gu Mang himself."
Mo Xi's face changed suddenly, "When..."
"The day before he was sent back to the city as a peace gift."
"!"
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Murong Lian slowly said: "...don't be too surprised, Your Majesty once entrusted the handling of Gu Mang to me. So the day before he returned to the city, I went out of the city by myself. Saw him privately."
"On his way back?"
"On his way back, right by the mallard water."
"… "
"Everyone thinks that Gu Mang was hollowed out by the Liao Kingdom, shattered his spiritual core, and took out two more souls, so he became the ghost at that time." Murong Lian paused, "Actually it's not. of."
"Liaoguo did destroy his consciousness in order to prevent Gu Mang from leaking secrets, but they did not destroy those memories that had nothing to do with Liaoguo's secrets. So, firstly, all of Gu Mang's memories were not destroyed by Liaoguo."
The ministers were horrified: "What?!"
"It's not Liao Kingdom?!"
"That's right. Second, it is said that Gu Mang's soul was taken away by Liao Kingdom, which is also false. Gu Mang's soul was not taken away by anyone, but was taken out by himself and made into it. Use it. He donated it himself, and has nothing to do with Liao Kingdom."
This sentence is even more shocking than the previous sentence. If the previous sentence is just a ripple, this sentence has become a huge wave.
Mo Xi took a step back, and his already thin lips were bloodless: "How... possible? Why is he... "
"Why did he do this, Your Majesty should be the clearest." Murong Lian glanced at Murong Chen, "Don't talk about that, we have a third thing to discuss—"
"Thirdly, Gu Mang's final memory loss was on the banks of the Fushui River. The erasure of all his memories was actually all thanks to our King Chonghua!"
Murong Chen's eyes were like vultures: "Murong Lian, how long do you want to confuse the public with your evil words?!"
Murong Lian said indifferently: "I knew you would say that. That's why you wanted to assassinate me before. There is no way, who would let the person you sent to give him Wangyousan..."
Murong Lian paused, then raised her peach blossom eyes and said, "It's me."
Murong Chen: "..."
"I have always regarded Gu Mang as a thorn in the flesh. After I found out that he had betrayed the country, I felt very ashamed, thinking that he had brought shame to Wangshu Mansion, and I wished he could get it. At that time, the emperor saw my mentality and secretly summoned me to come here. In front of the hall, tell me - Gu Mang is not actually a treason, but a secret agent."
Meng Ze said softly: "You know his identity as a spy, why do you still hate him so much?"
"How can it be so simple." Murong Lian sneered, "Your Majesty told me that Gu Mang went out as a spy back then, but he was halfway undercover. Gu Mang made a request, hoping that after returning to the country, he would let your Majesty help him. He became the head of Wangshu Mansion."
"... Gu Mangduan would not offer such a price."
"But how did I know then?" Murong Lian rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty caught my guard and told me that he did not agree to Gu Mang's condition. Gu Mang's request to replace me was rejected. Your Majesty refused, resentful in his heart, and finally the false betrayal turned into a true betrayal, and since then he has been working for Liaoguo to retaliate against Chonghua."
Chonghua knew that Murong Lian had bullied Gu Mang badly in the past. Your Majesty fabricated a lie, saying that Gu Mang was malicious and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bring down the former lord. This was only natural. matter.
As the head of Wangshu Mansion, what kind of mood would Murong Lian feel when she heard the news
Murong Lian said, "When I heard about this, I was naturally angry. But I also felt strange. Since Gu Mang has become a real treason, why did Liaoguo send him back as a gift for peace talks?"
Mo Xi glanced at Jun Shang and asked Murong Lian, "What did he say?"
"It's not leaking. It is said that he could not tolerate Gu Mang's behavior, so he secretly revised the book and gave it to the lord of Liao Kingdom, telling Liao Jun Gu Mang's original identity when he went to Liao, and said that Gu Mang had stolen a lot of Liao Kingdom's secrets to give to Chonghua. Liao Guo then felt that this person was double-sided and his mind was extremely unrighteous, and he could not continue to use it, so he sent him back."
Murong Lian took another breath and said, "Murong Chen told me at the time that Gu Mang was a man who was greedy for life and feared death, and before Liao Guo could arrest him, he had already sensed their intentions. Bao, Gu Mang once wrote a book to the emperor, saying that he had figured out the secret room of the Liao Kingdom where the blood beasts were concocted, and he saw the cubs of the blood beasts in it. He was willing to use the power of his soul to seal its power and secretly bring I would like to offer it back to the king, hoping to spare him not to die."
"I completely believed what he said at the time, and I hated Gu Mang to the extreme. In anger, I asked Your Majesty, do we have to agree to this traitor's request?"
"Your Majesty said to me that Gu Mang has been severely tempered by black demons. If he kills him rashly, he will turn into some kind of evil spirit that he has never seen before, so he must not do it like this. So he really agreed to Gu Mang. offer, and he wants me to do two things—"
"The first thing, he asked me to go to see him secretly before the escort of Gu Mang had entered the city, and asked him to hand over the soul box that sealed the power of the blood beast."
Mo Xi asked, "What about the second thing?"
"The second one. He gave me a pill, saying that Gu Mang came from a poor family and was a high-ranking man, so he can see how cunning he is by nature. Although he could not kill him because of the black devil's mutation, if he was wise and sane, he would definitely He will try to spread rumors with the people around him... prison guards, guards, etc. With Gu Mang's words, anything can be created, so he must destroy his consciousness and memory - this pill is for this purpose. After he made me get the blood beast soul box presented by Gu Mang, he immediately gave him the medicine pill."
Mo Xi listened, his fingertips sank deep into his palm, and as the truths of the past surfaced, the veins of the spider silk that Jun Shang had spit out were clearly visible, like a net of heaven and earth, trapping them in the middle.
Mo Xi whispered, "But after you met Gu Mang, didn't Gu Mang tell you the truth..."
"He did say a few words. Let me not put too much faith in your majesty or anything like that. But who do you think I would trust then?"
"… "
"What's more, when I saw Gu Mang, Xu was the guard who was in charge of escorting him and lynched him. His mind was blurred, there was a fresh scar on his chest, and blood was still bleeding out. He had no strength at all. Talk to me too much, and you've already fainted."
Murong Lian paused for a while and continued, "But there was one thing that really made me feel strange at the time, that is, he gave me another thing besides the soul box that sealed the power of the blood beast, so that I could do whatever it was. You must keep it well, and then find an opportunity to destroy it, and you must never let your Majesty know about it.”
Murong Mengze asked, "What did he give you?"
Murong Lian did not answer immediately, but looked at Murong Chen on the high seat.
"Your Majesty, you painstakingly asked Mo Xi to bring you another piece of bloody beast remnant from Daze City, so that you can refine your monster with a bird's beak and dog's body. It must be the blood that Gu Mang donated to you back then. Warcraft power soul box, you haven't opened it for so many years, right?"
He said and sneered: "Do you know why you can't open it?"
At this moment, Murong Chen knew that it would be useless to pretend, so Sen said coldly, "Why?"
Murong Lian let out a smoky haze and said lightly, "Because the soul box that Gu Mang forged with his own soul back then is different. He made adjustments himself, and to open it, he needs a key."
Meng Ze said in shock, "That's what Gu Mang asked you to keep back then?"
"That's right." Murong Lian said, "I kept an eye on it at the time, and I never mentioned this to anyone."
When Murong Lian said this, she almost looked at Murong Chen coldly.
"The soul box that Your Majesty has painstakingly obtained by himself can't be opened. It must have been through research for a long time and couldn't find a way. Fortunately, I am suspicious by nature, and I know that you are treacherous and slippery, so I didn't fully believe in you. In the next year, you should wash all Chonghua's people into wooden puppets."
Murong Chen clenched his silver teeth, stared at him, and burst into a long, cruel smile.
"Murong Lian... Murong Lian, so you didn't believe me or Gu Mang back then... Hahahahaha...!"
Murong Lian said indifferently, "Yes."
"Then who have you believed in your whole life?!"
Murong Lian said calmly, "I'm just like you, Murong Chen. We're both the kind of people who don't believe in anyone, but believe in ourselves."
As he said, his eyes were indifferent and alienated: "It's time for your farce to end. Let go of your big dream of unifying Kyushu. I have already destroyed the key that Gu Mang gave me."
Murong Chen couldn't stop laughing. After circling for a long time, he stared at Murong Lian with red eyes. Then his gaze wandered over one by one, from Mo Xi, to Gu Mang, to Murong Mengze... and even the group of ministers.
In the end, his eyes were like a ghost, and he said sensibly, "Murong Lian, do you think that after so many years of solitary research, you really didn't get the second solution. Can you open the power soul box sealed by Gu Mang?"
