Mo Li

August [-]th is approaching.

Mo Zhan still couldn't find a single trace of Ye Gucheng, the people he sent were all gone, and even Ye Qingxue's whereabouts were unknown.On the first day, Mo Zhan still speculated about various possibilities, but on the second day he gave up such a futile act—he would know what Ye Gucheng wanted him to know, but if Ye Gucheng didn’t want him to know something, He must have found nothing.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Baili Su and A Yu brought people to prepare various moon cakes, preparing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival one day in advance, and go to watch the battle at [-] o'clock on August [-].

Gu Jue was injured, but suddenly became in a hurry, and walked in a hurry every day.

On the evening of August [-]th, A Yu stopped Gu Jue who was about to go out with a sword, "If you go out again tonight, I will kill you!"

Gu Jue smiled wryly, moved the sword around his neck a little, and said, "Okay, I won't go out."

A Yu stopped with satisfaction, "Okay, help me pack up. A Su and I prepared a lot of mooncakes and wine. This is my first Mid-Autumn Festival in the Central Plains. Although A Su explained that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but They have something to do, so today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gu Jue smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll help clean it up, and you can just wait and eat."

A Yu shrugged at him, and went to help Baili Su prepare various dishes.

The only idler, Mo Zhan, was sitting at the table in the courtyard. Gu Jue brought a few jars of wine over and sat down next to Mo Zhan, "Brother Mo, come and help me too."

Just as Mo Yan was about to get up, A Yu's cold eyes were like knives on Gu Jue's body, "What are you doing sitting there? Didn't you ask you to help carry the wine? What a powerful master, it takes half an hour to rest for moving two jars of wine Glancing at Mo Zhan, he said disdainfully, "I need help from others to move a few jars of wine, you are a little girl."

Gu Jue smiled wryly and begged for mercy: "I didn't ask anyone to help me, I just had a few words with Brother Mo."

A Yu said coldly: "After the wine is moved, how many words can't be said?"

Gu Jue had no choice but to suppress his desire to talk to Mo Zhan first, and piled small wine jars the size of a palm on the stone table in the courtyard.

The two girls cook for themselves, and it's not ready yet.

Gu Jue uncovered the mud seal of the wine jar, took a sip, and drank the extremely strong wine in one sip, it was hot from the lips and teeth all the way to the bottom of the throat and heart.The burn on his throat from the scalding water happened just right, Gu Jue covered his neck and coughed in a low voice, "Hiss, what a strong wine." He drank two sips of herbal tea, suppressed the burning sensation, and said, "Don't let me go!" Brother, the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, why don't we wait until the sixteenth day of the eighth month to enjoy the full moon?"

Mo Yan sipped lightly in a small cup and said, "Brother Gu, there is something in your words."

In the decisive battle on the [-]th day, although Mo Zhan didn't know what the decisive battle was covering up, he knew that after the [-]th day, he would no longer have the leisure to look at the moon.

Gu Jue smiled and said, "Brother Mo, guess what?"

Mo Zhan glanced at him, and said softly: "Brother Gu likes to play charades, so please forgive me for being hard to accompany."

Gu Jue said with a leisurely smile: "Brother Mo, just wait and see. On the [-]th, I will invite Brother Mo to drink and watch the moon."

Mo Zhan mused to himself: Although Gu Jue's words were a lot of rogues, there are [-] out of [-] things he said that were not lies.Since he said drinking and admiring the moon at sixteen, it means that at sixteen, he still has that leisurely drinking and admiring the moon—if it wasn’t for Gu Jue’s overconfidence that he felt that the fifteenth decisive battle could achieve his goal, then what was the fifteenth? Neither will happen.

"Let's talk about it at sixteen." Mo Yanwu said indifferently.

Gu Jue smiled and said suddenly, "Brother Mo, how long has it been since you saw City Lord Ye?"

Mo Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to speak, a burning smell rushed into his nostrils.He glanced at Gu Jue, Gu Jue shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly at him, then turned his head and said with a bright smile: "Ayu, what did you cook? It smells pretty good."

A Yu was dressed in white and cold, turning a blind eye to Gu Jue's bright smile, and said to Mo Ran: "Ah Su and I are definitely incomparable with the chef's skills." As he spoke, he put the two plates in black Things are on the table.Baili Su walked behind A Yu, carrying a sealed food box, "Second Young Master, are you hungry?"

Mo Yan looked at it for a while but couldn't see what was on the plate, so he shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

A Yu looked at Gu Jue coldly.

Gu Jue's expression remained unchanged, he took a piece of black square food with his chopsticks leisurely, ate it, nodded and said, "It tastes good."

A Yu nodded to Baili Su, and Baili Su opened the food box, and there were several dishes of delicious color and fragrance.A Yu helped Baili Su put the dishes on the table, with a rare smile in his tone, "Since you think that tastes good, then you can eat that. of."

Gu Jue dug a hole by himself and buried himself, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Ah Yu, I'm your own brother anyway."

A Yu said coolly: "Really, I don't remember that I have an older brother."

Gu Jue sighed, and A Yu smiled secretly, her eyes and eyebrows were bright and lively.

A round of rounding moon hangs in the sky, Mo Yan is not interested in admiring the moon, Gu Jue is a person who doesn't like romance, and A Yu doesn't know much about the culture of the Central Plains. On the pot, Du Bailisu watched the moon while sipping lightly. By the time it was midnight, her pretty face was flushed from drinking.

"A Su, A Su." A Yu snatched the wine glass from Bai Li Su's hand, "Don't drink it."

Baili Su looked at A Yu with drunken eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't drink anymore."

A Yu said: "Then, why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

Baili Su nodded obediently, "Okay."

Gu Jue also said: "It's getting late, it's time to rest." He got up, his footsteps softened, and he sat back on the stone bench, pressed his forehead and frowned and said, "Ah Yu, help me, it seems that medicine and wine have something to do with each other. Come on, I'm so dizzy."

A Yu panicked, Gu Jue always concealed his injuries and pains behind an indifferent smile, and now he bluntly said "dizziness".She didn't care about Baili Su who was drunk, she supported Gu Jue with both hands, and said softly: "Would you like to sit down for a while, will it be better if you take a break, I'll make sober tea for you, does sober tea conflict with medicinal properties?" ?”

Gu Jue held A Yu's wrist, "Help me back to the room, it's windy in the yard."

A Yu helped Gu Jue back to the house, and told Mo Ran, "You send A Su back, and I will take care of her later."

Mo Yan nodded, beckoned for a maid, and sent Baili Su back to his room.

A Yu took care of Gu Jue to sleep, and then went to Baili Su's room to take care of her, but saw Baili Su sitting by the window drinking alone, with large and small wine jars rolling around in the room.At this time, the moonlight in the sky was cold, and she was sitting quietly by the window in a pink and white dress, which seemed a bit desolate and desolate.

"A Su," A Yu called out hesitantly while standing at the door.

Baili Su turned her head and smiled slightly, "Ayu, let me tell you something."

A Yu said "Yes".

Baili Su smiled and said, "I'm an orphan. When I was young, I was in Wuhuan Pavilion with my master and drank wine like water."

A Yu said: "Then you were pretending to be drunk just now? Why?"

Baili Su smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, Su, it's late, and I'm not drunk anyway, so you should go back to your room early to rest."

A Yuwei was a little hesitant, but seeing that Baili Su's eyes were bright and he didn't look like a drunk person, she nodded and said, "Okay, drink less."

Baili Su nodded with a smile, watched A Yu go out, and then continued to drink slowly.

Suddenly there was a very slight sound of footsteps in the yard.

Baili Su frowned, and looked out sideways in the dark——Gu Jue came out of the room in night clothes, probably because he was confident in his lightness skills, or maybe it was because he came and went in a hurry these days and went out in the middle of the night It was also a common thing, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings, and disappeared into the courtyard in a few flashes.

Baili Su has always been instinctively wary of Gu Jue. From the first meeting to now, she has the illusion of being controlled by others when walking in front of Gu Jue.

At this time, this feeling is the clearest.

Baili Su thought for a while, turned around and put the box that was about the same height as her back on her back, and followed Gu Jue from a distance.

Gu Jue went all the way to the study room hidden in the dungeon, and waited for a moment, when he remembered the sound of very light footsteps.Gu Jue raised the corners of his lips silently, turned on the mechanism, and stepped into the dungeon.

The lights in the dungeon were dim, and Baili Su was approaching the depths of the dungeon step by step. Several narrow tunnels blocked in front of him. Each tunnel was no more than one person high. They were all made of fine steel, and it was difficult for ordinary experts to draw marks on them.

"Miss Baili, stop here." Gu Jue appeared from one of the tunnels.

Baili Su took a step back, pressed his back tightly against the box he was carrying, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said with a sweet smile: "Young Master Gu doesn't seem to be surprised that the little girl came here."

Gu Jue smiled and said, "I deliberately lured you here, so it's no surprise."

Baili Su put his hands on the lock of the box, and said with a smile: "Then what is Mr. Gu leading me here for?"

Gu Jue approached Baili Su, "Miss Baili is so smart, why don't you guess?"

"Don't come here!" Baili Su shouted: "Gu Jue, don't come here!" After a pause, he said again: "I know you are good at martial arts, and I am not your opponent. But you really think that I will follow you alone , there is nothing to rely on?" She said, turned around, leaned sideways on the side of the long box, and looked at Gu Jue coldly.

Gu Jue paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Miss Baili, don't you guess?"

Baili Su laughed and said, "Guess Mr. Gu's purpose, or my fate?"

Gu Jue smiled and said, "Let's guess all the girls in Baili."

Baili Su buckled the trigger, and three bone-penetrating nails flew out of the long box.Gu Jue had been prepared for a long time. He dodged sideways, avoiding the hidden weapon, and pressed towards Baili Su with his palm.Gu Jue's palm changed, and his sleeves rolled up, wrapping around Baili Su's sword.Baili Su returned the sword with his backhand, but Gu Jue did not dodge. When his sleeve was cut by the soft sword's edge, his wrist rested on Baili Su's throat.

Baili Su took two steps back, leaned against the wall, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Jue who was close at hand, "Why don't you do it?"

Gu Jue frowned and paused, with a trace of worry in his heart, staring at Baili Su closely.

Baili Su let go of the soft sword and put it on the wooden box.

Hearing a "squeak" sound, Gu Jue felt a bit of coolness in his mind, let go of Baili Su, jumped back, and retreated at the entrance of the tunnel.As for the place where he was standing just now, a stream of light passed by, and the bluestone land had already collapsed for three points without sound.

Gu Jue looked at the long box in front of Baili Su with lingering fear.

Baili Su flicked open the lid of the long box, and out of the box flew out a guzheng that looked like iron, not iron, wood and not wood. The guzheng slammed straight at Gu Jue. Resounding in the dungeon, Gu Jue took a few steps back and didn't stop until his back touched the wall made of fine steel.He frowned, coughed a few times, and said with a smile, "What a powerful guzheng." Although he didn't know what was in the box, he could tell that it wasn't Baili Su who was powerful, but Guzheng.

Baili Su turned around to catch the guzheng, and sat cross-legged on the ground, "The worst is yet to come."

As he spoke, his left wrist was hanging in the air, his right index finger hooked on the strings, and his left wrist was suddenly pressed down, dragging the music into three folds.

As soon as Gu Jue heard the music, his head became dizzy. He knew something was wrong, so he dodged into the tunnel made of fine steel.

Baili Su played the guzheng, and the melodious sound of the guzheng echoed in every tunnel.

Gu Jue clutched his forehead and walked deep into the dungeon, but the music lingered like silk thread, no matter how Gu Jue dodged, he couldn't escape the noise.Distraught, he slapped his palm on the wall hard, causing the steel wall to echo with a "buzzing".

Suddenly, the echo of "buzzing" intensified, mixed with a hoarse roar.

Listening to the hoarse roar, Gu Jue felt his forehead swell more and more. He tried his best to identify the direction, walked to the tunnel entrance, and pressed the switch.

After a sound of "zaza", the tunnel was gradually hidden underground, replaced by an empty bluestone slab.

Standing at the end of the stone slab, Gu Jue looked at Baili Su with a strange expression, and he didn't know whether his tone was more emotion or worry, and he sighed with a smile: "Miss Baili, if you and I really die here You should remember to chat with me more on Huangquan Road."

Baili Su pressed ten fingers on the strings of the guzheng, and looked at Gu Jue suspiciously.

Gu Jue smiled wryly and said, "At this point, if I try to deceive you with lies, that would be too ridiculous." He pointed to a place behind him where a hoarse roar came from, "Ah Yu told you, An old senior with profound and unpredictable martial arts is imprisoned in this dungeon?"

Baili Su remembered—A Yu had indeed told her that the stone prison was built to imprison a senior in Jianghu—she erected the zither, leaned on the wall and slowly stood up, "That's him?"

Gu Jue nodded, "That's him."

Baili Su said: "Who the hell is he?"

Gu Jue smiled wryly, "You still can't figure it out right now?"

Baili Su looked at the stone prison suspiciously. The stone prison was made of refined steel, and only a netted iron door tightly bound by iron cables was used for ventilation.Through the ventilated place, Baili Su saw in the stone prison an old man with gray hair. The old man was trapped by the steel bars as thick as a baby's arm, making it difficult to move an inch.

"He can't move..." Baili Su muttered, then stared at Gu Jue in a daze, and said, "He is..."

Gu Jue nodded with a wry smile and said, "That's right, it's him."
