General Chu

Once out of the palace, there will be no protection from Emperor Zhou, and Xu Liwenyuan is guilty of a crime, so it is not easy to say that he wants to investigate, and it is difficult to move an inch.

The two were walking aimlessly on the road, Mo Wen suddenly said, do you have any clue?

Xu Liwenyuan looked back at him with a smile on his face.

"black market."

The two said in unison.

Since someone stole the copper that Chu State originally wanted to pay tribute to, he had to sell the stolen goods as soon as possible. If he didn't sell it and keep it in his own hands, it would be a crime of treason if he was reported by his own people.But to be honest, it is difficult to sell such a large amount of copper. Even in the black market where there is never a shortage of buyers, few people dare to touch things that are related to the lifeline of the country.

The two pretended to be vendors selling Shu brocade and stood guard in the most prosperous area of ​​Haojing for ten days, coercing and luring them before they learned who was selling copper on the black market.

The two took advantage of the heavy morning fog and went deep into the house to find the copper with the seal of Chu, confirming the authenticity of the news.As a result, as soon as he walked out of the long alley, Mo Wen faintly felt that something was wrong.

Xu Liwenyuan was standing in front of the small vendor at that time and took out two copper coins to buy two newly baked osmanthus cakes to try.Someone came quickly, grabbed him and walked to a secluded place, whispering as he walked, don't look back.

Behind him was a murderous assassin who didn't know when to follow, Mo Wen led the people to dodge left and right, and finally got rid of the person behind him.I didn't know when I entered a yard overgrown with grass.

The path where the footsteps came from is now full of waist-deep weeds. Mo Wen chose to enter through the back door where the rotten wood was paved, because he was afraid that his lightness kung fu would attract too much attention.

It was very embarrassing for the two of them to roll and crawl all the way.

Xu Liwenyuan leaned his left hand on the dusty Guanyin statue, breathing calmly.Above his head, a shining silk thread hangs down from the Guanyin statue, and a small spider slides down tremblingly along the thread, and falls into the broken hair on Xu Liwenyuan's forehead.

Mo Wen looked at the spider facing the light, and felt that such an unlovable creature looked like an angel at this moment. He stretched out his hand to catch it by mistake, but twisted two strands of Xu Liwenyuan's hair, and the spider disappeared. Even his best eyesight didn't help.

The midday sun was too hot, shining in through the irregular windows, forming scattered bright spots on the ground.Xu Liwenyuan's face was pressed against a bright spot, and his whole body was burned uncomfortably, but he didn't have time to think too much at that time, he just watched Mo Wen quietly, watching Mo Wen pinch some of his hair Suddenly stopped, not knowing what happened.

The two were very close, and Mo Wen could clearly feel Xu Liwenyuan's body temperature, as well as his heart beating faster because of running, but Xu Liwenyuan himself couldn't tell why his heart was beating so fast.After a long silence, Xu Liwenyuan tentatively asked, Mo Qing?Can something happen?

Mo Wen hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the man in front of him suddenly grabbed his wrist, both of them were taken aback, and then Mo Wen was stuffed with a kraft paper bag, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside was still steaming.

"We were running for our lives just now." Mo Wen frowned slightly for emphasis.

"Yes, I was running for my life, but the lonely king felt that he would not die, otherwise Mo Qing wouldn't really protect me."

Mo Wen faintly felt that something was wrong, his eyebrows were clustered together, but he was never an eloquent person, he could only be defeated in front of this gangster's logic, he opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

One night in the ruined temple, Xu Liwenyuan leaned against the Buddha statue and shivered from the cold, and secretly made up his mind that he would never worship gods and Buddhas again.While tossing and turning, he turned his head and looked at Mo Wen who was beside him with his eyes closed. The moon-white gown was especially obvious in the darkness, and it wasn't just the gown that attracted people's attention.

Xu Liwenyuan leaned over in a strange way, holding his breath and blushing his cheeks just to see Mo Wen's eyelashes clearly.

He doesn't think he is ugly, he grew up listening to everyone's praise, although there are a lot of exaggerations in it, but not to the point of alarmist, until he met Mo Wen, he didn't know that there is such a thing in the world. Such an arrogant and cold person who doesn't care about everything, it would be fine if that's all, but it didn't take long for Xu Liwenyuan's cognition to be subverted, because the person in front of him actually became gentler as he got along with him, that kind of irresistible and refreshing tenderness.

The son is like jade, and should be the last pen of poor historians.

"Does it look good?"

"Ah? What?" Xu Liwenyuan leaned back on the pillar in a hurry, pretending nothing happened, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Mo Wen didn't even show signs of opening his eyes, he looked sideways at Mo Wen, and said softly, "This is an orphan." It was the first time Wang left Tianliang City, and it was the first time when he looked up and saw something other than tall beams when he was bored.In the past, every day was a gloomy cloudy sky.

As he spoke, he leaned sideways on Mo Wen's body. Mo Wen straightened up to look at him and asked, is it cold?

Xu Liwenyuan thought that Mo Wen must be very sleepy after running around all day, but at this moment the person in front of him had a pair of black pupils shining, and he didn't know if he was awake quickly or he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Mo Qing, the people of Chu were also the masters of the Central Plains, and they followed King Wu to defeat Zhou and eliminate the remaining party for him, but His Majesty turned a blind eye to our achievements and only thought that the people of Chu were barbarians, and wanted to get rid of them quickly." After a while , and said, Mo Qing, fight for the world with the lonely king, even if you want the lonely king of the country in the end, you can give it up, as long as you accompany me to the end, as long as the final outcome is the unification of Haiyan Heqing.

Xu Liwenyuan was originally a little shorter than Mo Wen, but at this moment he was lying half down, with lowered eyebrows and eyes. At that moment, he was so fragile that he seemed to cry at any time as long as Mo Wen shook his head.

So Mo Wen nodded and said in a low voice, okay.

I didn't know which sentence to answer, I just nodded and said yes.

We always strictly guard the distance we get along with restraint and courtesy, but some things change unconsciously, such as the expired medicine in the drawer, or the heart that crossed the line in the chest.

In the early morning of the next day, before the morning fog cleared, a stall selling breakfast was set up in front of the gate of the imperial city, and Xu Liwenyuan was the first customer.The boss made him a bowl of hot chaotic soup, and when he served it, he added a steamed bun, saying that he hadn't seen such a handsome young man for a long time, and he treated him as a friend after breakfast.

Xu Liwenyuan nodded and smiled shyly.

The boss thought it was interesting, so he sat down and had a chat with him, saying that Hao Jing is not safe recently, and a handsome young man like you should not come out for a walk often, I heard that Zheng Hou was not framed, and he was so angry that he searched the streets and Chu Zi's age A similar young man.

Xu Liwenyuan still smiled shyly, noncommittal.

Separated by a wall, Mo Wen was standing in front of the stone steps of the main hall facing thousands of imperial guards alone.There were already many soldiers lying on the ground moaning and screaming in pain, and less than half of them were uninjured.

Everyone took a step back when he got closer, and when he approached the gate, everyone saw that there was no way to retreat and shouted at him: who is coming, and what is his intention?

Mo Wen held a sword in his right hand and a food box in his left, and said calmly, I'm here to deliver something to His Majesty.

Everyone was trembling and preparing to swarm up to crush Mo Wen into meatloaf, when a faint voice came from the hall: Let him in.

Don't ask to step in.Behind him, where the food box passed, there was a trail of blood dripping down.

The imperial guards followed Mo Wen with weapons in their hands, but Mo Wen stopped in the middle of the hall, casually threw the food box in his hand up, the lid shook open, and there was a bloody head inside.

The person in charge glanced at him and asked, the fifteen-day period, and now that the deadline has not yet come, you are threatening Gu with the head of Zheng Guochang Shi, are you really not afraid that Gu will order to erase the title of Chu?

The frozen expression on Mo Wen's face loosened at that moment, he said with a shallow smile, Chu is remote and full of poisonous pythons, it is not really as easy as it is said to destroy Chu.He paused, then said, today is the 12th day, I came here to say that I found the person who hid the tribute copper.As for how to make a decision, it is up to His Majesty to decide whether to cover anyone among them.

Speaking of being as straightforward as him, even if you really want to protect someone, it may not be so easy, Zhou Tianzi looked at him leisurely, and said tentatively, come to Gu's side, and Gu will let you be the great general protecting the country.

"Humble and fearful."

"Are you terrified? Hahahahaha, you are so terrified that you dare to enter the palace with your head in your hands? Where are you going to let the lonely imperial guards lose face?"

Mo Wen remained silent, bowing his head slightly in a humble gesture.

"Gu is the master of the world, isn't he a little Chuzi? Some things will never change in this life. I was born in Chudi and raised in Chudi. I am a Chu person through and through."

Zhou Tianzi looked at Mo Wen and suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, so he sneered, is it the king's land in the whole world, and the people of the four realms are the king's ministers, are you talking about Chu people?

Mo Wen's face was pale, but the next moment he was in front of the emperor.Mo Wen's boots stepped on the table in front of the emperor. He turned around and said lightly, the one who stepped on my feet last time was the dragon robe, this time it was the dragon case, and I don't know what will happen next time. But I hope Your Majesty will remember that my patience is limited, and these three thousand imperial guards cannot stop me.

Zhou Tianzi finally put away his playful expression, stared at him darkly and said, yes, I will just give you an explanation, but General Mo, you should also remember that you are not alone, you can protect yourself and you can protect yourself. Do you win the people of the world?Don't threaten Gu with death, if Gu dies, he will bleed a hundred steps.

Mo Wen came down from the desk and walked out of the hall step by step surrounded by the imperial guards.Leave a sentence behind him, Your Majesty, what the people want is peace and stability, and what the ministers want is also, if you don't want chaos, the world will not be in chaos.

"Really? You are still the one who is looking forward to the next year's pilgrimage by Chu Zi's side."

"See you next year."

Don't ask casually.At that time, none of them could have imagined that they would not have to wait for a pilgrimage at all when they met next time, and between them, someone would eventually die at the hands of the other.Heroes cherish heroes, but one mountain cannot contain two tigers.
