With a "snap", Lu Zhanxing's cheeks were swollen and blood was seeping from the corners of his lips.
Mo Xi stared at him fiercely, his eyes were extremely red.
The voice trembled even more.
"Why do you make decisions for him? Why do you make choices for him? Do you know that if you are dead, his 70,000 comrades will be forced to die? You want to push him into the abyss. Lu Zhanxing?!" At the end, the sparks in his eyes burst into flames, almost angrily, "You don't want him to die, but have you really understood his heart?!!"
Lu Zhanxing's voice was also raised, his bloody lips and teeth opened and closed: "His heart is too high, sooner or later he will hang his life! What do you know?!"
Like two swords fighting each other, dragons and tigers fight.
"You were born with fine clothes and jade food, so the so-called setbacks are nothing more than a few broken things within your family! Have you ever experienced the feeling of powerlessness that someone else's displeasure can ruin your life? You know that Gu Mang has suffered from childhood to adulthood How difficult is it to live to this day?" Lu Zhanxing almost choked with anger and despair, "He's just a stupefied donkey, you loosen the lock and slave ring around his neck and change After fame and fortune, Lulai is regarded as the radish and cabbage hanging in front of his eyes, but has the facts changed?"
"He is still pulling and grinding for you with his blood and tears, but he is so happy like a fool..." Lu Zhanxing couldn't help raising his head, covering his eyes with his arms, and said hoarsely, "But the donkey is still Donkey, one day he's lazy, he's tired, he can't walk anymore, he can only let people slaughter his bones!"
When Lu Zhanxing said this, he took a deep breath.
"If he can't see clearly, I will let him see clearly in advance."
"If he understands but doesn't want to let go, I will force him to loosen ten fingers!"
"Since he feels that the old gentleman is kind to him, then I will wait. I will wait until the new emperor ascends the throne, and I will do this again, so that he and the old gentleman will not turn into enmity. I have nothing to do for him. Thoughtful?"
"...Lu Zhanxing..." Mo Xi felt like lava was boiling over the emotion in his throat, "You're a lunatic..."
"It's not me who's crazy, it's him." Lu Zhanxing lowered his hand, his eyes were still a little red from emotion, but the softness in his eyes had been stripped away, only Rujue remained, he stared at Mo Xi , "How crazy does Mang'er have to be to think that with his own power, he can change the entire Chonghua and even the entire Kyushu's view of slaves? How crazy and crazy must he be to think that there is hope for all this!"
Mo Xi said hoarsely, "You'd rather him lose the fire in his life than let him live as you wish?"
"What's wrong with Twilight Tuzhong? People are only a drop in the ocean, but he thinks that he is a mayfly that can shake the sky. You see, now he should know the ending himself - as long as the new prince touches his lips, his mirage will be destroyed. Destruction and collapse—at the cost of these 70,000 people, from now on, neither Gu Mang nor those poor and stupid slave monks will have to throw their blood for Chonghua!"
Lu Zhanxing said, the smile on the corner of his mouth almost twisted.
"Whose country will be guarded by himself. Young Master Xi and Jungui, please, please leave it alone, let this ridiculous army fall apart. We just think that it is better to die than live."
us? us
Gu Mang has said with a look of longing since the school days, hoping that one day he can change the day, and hope that the world can be changed even a little bit.
As long as he can burn a ray of light, he is willing to burn his body, skin and limbs.
Lu Zhanxing said that "we" just wanted to die rather than live. Why? !
Mo Xi seemed to be extremely angry for a moment, but his conflict with Lu Zhanxing today was so sharp that blood would splatter when he lost control. He didn't want to mess up the things in the time mirror, so he closed his eyes forcefully.
After a while, the violent flame of rage went out. Mo Xi slowly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes looked at Lu Zhanxing again.
Just as he was about to speak properly, Lu Zhanxing made another stab: "Xihejun, stay away from him, from now on I won't be able to accompany him anymore. hope of his life."
Mo Xi realized that he couldn't look at Lu Zhanxing's face any longer, and just glanced at the fire that had just been suppressed, and he could come up again. He turned his face away sharply, staring at the flickering candle next to him.
Lu Zhanxing said, "Don't lead him down this road again."
"..." Fingers clenched into fists, Mo Xi's eyes drifted away from the dim candlelight, and finally landed on the two dice Lu Zhanxing had been playing with before.
He didn't pay too much attention to the two dice, he was just too painful and angry, his eyes wanted to find a basis, and he wanted to settle somewhere.
He stared at the two throwing dice with red paint on a white background for a long time.
But after a while, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. The hairy feeling came up first, and then Mo Xi suddenly realized the problem!
His back was suddenly tense.
This dice...
This dice is made of red lacquer on a white background, carved from rosewood, and there is a very inconspicuous little lotus pattern next to the sixth point.
it is…
Gu Mang's wooden dice? !
Yes, Gu Mang used to like to play leaf cards in the army, and he also liked to gamble with ideas. At that time, he envied the Yue family and Murong family of the Mo family for having their own totem, so he ingeniously thought of one for himself.
The totem coat of arms he set for himself was a lotus flower. It was too ostentatious to engrave in other places, and it was a joke, so it was only engraved on the dice that he was playing with his brothers.
Lu Zhanxing also laughed at him at that time, saying that you are a manly man, what is the matter with taking a little red lotus as a mark.
Gu Mang smiled and explained that the lotus blossoms for seven days, although the time is not long, but the fragrance soaks the universe, what's wrong.
Afterwards, Gu Mang and Mo Xi made a private blood pact. They each had a lotus pattern on their necks, and they also used the totem that Gu Mang had set before.
After realizing this, Lu Zhanxing's voice seemed to be separated by a vast ocean. Mo Xi no longer paid attention to what he was talking about. His fingers were trembling, and he wanted to raise his hand to pick up the wooden dice on the table and take a closer look. .
"Xihe-kun."
"… "
"Let go of Mang'er."
Lu Zhanxing said, "If you really care about him and treat him like a human, then don't hang him and let him fight for you. Let him go."
Mo Xi's throat twitched, but he finally restrained his urge. After a few moments of silence, Mo Xi turned his eyes away from the dice with a pale face. He looked at Lu Zhanxing and said in a low voice, "... If you plan for him like this, you are really sure that he will follow the path you have paved for him. , from then on, the idle cloud wild crane has the rest of his life?"
"Then where else can he go?"
Mo Xi's dark brown eyes stared at Lu Zhanxing's face: "Have you ever thought that he might rebel."
Lu Zhanxing was really stunned for a moment, and then it was almost funny: "What nonsense are you talking about? Mang'er will rebel? Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
"Then don't you know that you are in his heart, and how much are the 100,000 monks in his heart?"
"..." Lu Zhanxing's face turned blue, he was silent for a moment, but still raised his head coldly with a ridiculous face, "He will never."
Mo Xi measured the emotion between his eyebrows bit by bit. All of Lu Zhanxing's reactions at the moment were in full view.
Lu Zhanxing said: "I know him. No matter what step he takes, he will never take this step... He... he... "
Mo Xi said, "Really? Haven't you heard of anything unusual about him during the six months you've been in prison?"
Lu Zhanxing took a step back, and there was some strange panic in his eyes.
really…
From this panic, Mo Xi saw that he seemed to know something that he didn't know.
Lu Zhanxing must be hiding some secrets.
In this extremely tense silence, Mo Xi suddenly asked without end, "Lu Zhanxing, have you met Gu Mang after you were imprisoned."
Lu Zhanxing looked up suddenly as if stabbed by a cold arrow!
Immediately, the blood faded, and he turned his face away immediately.
After a long while, he said: "...what is Xihe-jun thinking? Mang'er is now a culprit, how can he see me? I'm eager to catch up with him again. But... hehe." He laughed at himself He smiled, "In a dream, it's more realistic to have a dream."
"..." Mo Xi didn't speak anymore, but he had already seen the successive reactions of Lu Zhanxing after his question, and the color in the bottom of his eyes darkened.
He could almost confirm that within the past six months, Gu Mang must have met Lu Zhanxing.
But this way, this thing seems even more strange. As a deposed official, Gu Mang was stalked by the emperor's dark guards day and night. How could he have the opportunity to break through this densely guarded prison and go to Lu Zhanxing's prison
"I'll ask you one last time." Mo Xi said, "Lu Zhanxing, Gu Mang really didn't come here to find you?"
"… No."
"You really have no grievances at all?"
Lu Zhanxing said, "No."
Knowing that this is no matter how much you ask, there will be no decent answer to ask again. In the end, the two did not enjoy each other, and neither was able to convince the other, and neither made any concessions to the other. Mo Xi walked out of the cold sky prison cell.
Behind him, there was the sound of the clattering of the iron chain door lock, and the shackles and chains that had exerted spiritual power re-locked the cell where Lu Zhanxing was being held.
Before Mo Xi left, he turned his face and glanced at Lu Zhanxing one last time.
Lu Zhanxing sat in the dim halo of the soybean oil lamp, lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Just as he turned around completely, Lu Zhanxing suddenly raised his head again:
"Wait a moment!"
Mo Xi pursed his thin lips and looked sideways at Lu Zhanxing: "What?"
Lu Zhanxing gritted his teeth and said, "There is one more thing."
"… "
"Since you are here, I also want to ask you."
"you say."
Lu Zhanxing hesitated for a while, this question had been pressing in his heart for a long time, and it was about to rot. He also knew that if he didn't speak at this moment, he would have no chance in the future. So he gritted his teeth and finally said, "I've wanted to know for so many years. You... what and... "
Seeing his expression and listening to his words, Mo Xi already had some guesses in his heart. At this moment, he stood where he was, quietly waiting for him to speak.
"You treat him... You treat Mang'er... Are you really..." The content that you want to express is too hard to explain, and it is related to his own chief role partner. Lu Zhan is so cheeky, and he can't help but stammer. , "Are you..."
Mo Xi said, "Yes."
Lu Zhanxing seemed to have been punched by Mo Xi's own confession, and he had no words just now that Mo Xi's "yes" sounded even more dizzy.
After so many years from Rong, Lu Zhanxing has already seen the clues from some details. It's just that out of respect for Gu Mang in the past, he was embarrassed to ask directly. But if he didn't ask, it didn't mean he was stupid.
He had noticed Mo Xi and Gu Mang's eyes too many times when they looked at each other. Once or twice, he thought he was thinking too much, but many times, he couldn't convince himself that there was nothing between them. . Not to mention how many times he had seen Mo Xi waiting for Gu Mang to change the guard together, but after the two returned, Gu Mang's eyes were always a little red, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
Once, he even used the bonfire to see a red bite on Gu Mang's neck.
But guessing is guessing. When Mo Xi really stood in front of him and admitted this matter, Lu Zhanxing still felt a little breathless. He took a few steps back abruptly and sat on the stone bed, almost sullenly: "... Mang'er, he is a lunatic... He is such a good person, why does he have to get involved with you... "
Lu Zhanxing bowed his body, buried his face in his palm and rubbed it hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "Doesn't he know what his background is... Why... He has to fight for the most impossible thing... Lunatic... Really crazy..."
After a pause, Lu Zhanxing was almost exhausted: "Is it interesting to fly a moth to a fire? Why is what he wants in his life, whether it is a matter or a person, it is so... so..."
Adam's apple rolled, and two words fell from his lips.
"absurd."
In the shaking light and shadow, Mo Xi stared at him. After a while, Mo Xi said, "Don't blame him. What I have with him is not me who is arguing with him.
After saying that, he turned around, the black robe rolled over the green steps and disappeared into the depths of the long corridor.
It was night, and after returning to Xihe Mansion, Mo Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Finally, he sat up abruptly from the bed, put on his clothes and pushed the door.
He took a cloak to cover the outside, and went straight to Xinghualou.
Although it was inconvenient for him to appear in front of Gu Mang at this time in order to find out more truths buried in the past, he still couldn't help wishing to see Gu Mang more than eight years ago.
