Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

That day, Gong Jiuqing asked many things, all about his childhood.The people around him, what happened, his relatives, and the current situation of Tianji Village.

The former Xu Mo still knows a little bit, but he really doesn't know the current situation of Tianji Village.

"I went down the mountain very early, lurking beside Cang Nuan. Do the math, it must have been eight years..."

"Eight years..."

Xu Mo smiled helplessly, and said: "Master is the wise man in the village and he is also the inheritor. Every year, smart children are selected in the village as disciples, and the people in the village are most proud of their own children. Chosen. And you are the smallest of us, and the wisest."

"Then what about my brother? Gong Qiuli... What kind of person is he?"

Xu Mo touched Gong Jiuqing's head like a big brother, and said, "Do you still have a grudge against him?"

Gong Jiuqing shook her head and said, "It's just that there are some things... I still can't figure it out."

Xu Mo said with a smile: "Your brother has always been the strongest among us. When you were young, you were very good at fighting. Most of you were bullied because he beat others, and then others bullied you for revenge. Yours." Thinking of this, Xu Mo laughed happily.

"At that time, your brother was very defensive. Whoever hit you once, he would pay you back double. Originally..."

"What was it?"

"Originally your brother's position was yours."

"What do you mean?"

"Nan Hui's chess is very dangerous. Because it wants to stir up the hatred between Gu Moqian and Gu Haizhi. Among the two big men, who do you think will be the most unlucky in the end? None of us are willing to go, I would rather go Going further afield, I don’t want to be Nanhuiqi.”

"Then he..."

"The chess piece chosen by master was actually you."

"I?"

Xu Mo nodded and said, "You were still young at the time, but Master insisted on doing so. Thinking about it now, he may have planned everything. Your brother knew that you didn't like revenge, and he didn't want you to suffer, so he went instead of you. I didn't expect..."

"Master uses a chain meter."

"Yes, without your brother in front, how could Gu Moqian be obsessed with you? After hearing this, do you think Master is cruel?"

Gong Jiuqing nodded, and said with some disappointment: "In my memory, Master has always been very kind. He taught me all the knowledge. He told me what is the general trend of the world and what is great love."

Xu Mo shook his head and said, "These should all be imagined by your self-consciousness."

Gong Jiuqing said with blurred eyes: "It's not like this? But I remember what Master said so clearly. He told me that people's hearts are unpredictable, but human nature is inherently good. He told me that a certain scholar should put loyalty first and take The common people is the overall situation."

Xu Mo smiled helplessly: "I guess something like hypnosis will let you go to a world you want to believe in, and form a truth you want to believe in."

Gong Jiuqing was very disappointed, because when he recalled what his master said just now, he clearly remembered that his master had said a lot to him, but in the end he found that what his master said were all from books.

In other words, Xu Mo was right.Perhaps these memories are all memories that he is willing to believe, so these words are not actually what his master said, but what he likes in the book.And in his own subconscious, he regarded him as his closest relative and said to him.

"Xiao Jiu, maybe it's God's will. The matter has come to this point, you and I can't go against God's will. The only thing we can do is to try our best to save those innocent people."

"Did you figure it out like this at the beginning?" Gong Jiuqing looked at Xu Mo and asked.

Xu Mo looked at Gong Jiuqing's clear eyes and said with a smile, "Yes."

"Can you be specific?"

Xu Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How should I put it? The change did not happen overnight. It may have started from the snowstorm in the north of Tongcang at the beginning of the New Year in Tongcang that year. At that time, Cang Nuan You are still just a prince, and I am just a counselor under him. He took me and was ordered to lead the army to relieve the disaster. But along the way, the officials intercepted him and asked for bribes openly so that he would not cause trouble for you.

That corrupt official was the confidant of Prince Tong Cang at that time, and he was ordered to find fault with Cang Nu'an.I was very annoyed at the time, but I didn't expect Cang Nuan to be even more annoyed, and immediately executed the corrupt official.Do you know the consequences? "Xu Mo asked with an excited tone.

Gong Jiuqing knew that Xu Mo didn't really want him to answer, so in order not to spoil his interest, Gong Jiuqing shook her head.

Xu Mo smiled happily and said: "After that person died, the crown prince was very happy, and even reported to the first emperor of Tongcang. We were halfway for disaster relief, and the first emperor ordered us to go back. But Cang Nuan He actually resisted the order and disrespected it, and didn't take the blame until after we finished the disaster relief."

Gong Jiuqing smiled and said: "It shouldn't be just this simple." Gong Jiuqing didn't believe it, but such a simple reason changed a person's deeply held thoughts.

Xu Mo said with a smile: "Actually, what really made me feel different was the victims of our disaster relief. I saw the devastation everywhere, those refugees ate bark to survive every day, and those mothers who had no milk used their own Blood feeds swaddled babies."

Listening to Xu Mo's description, it is not difficult for Gong Jiuqing to imagine the desolation at that time.

"I will never forget the expressions and eyes of those refugees when they saw us, the longing and awe, fear and despair, prayer and pain. Obviously we just brought some dry food, but they seemed to see the savior. At that moment, I suddenly thought, if our enemies are the Five Kingdoms, then what does it have to do with them?"

Xu Mo looked at Gong Jiuqing, as if he wanted to hear Gong Jiuqing's answer.

However, Gong Jiuqing didn't have an answer either.

Gong Jiuqing shook her head and said, "In this world, the thing that cannot be measured right or wrong is war."

"Hey……"

"However, if you firmly believe in your own beliefs, then it is right."

Xu Mo thought for a while, and said: "Yes. I just want to protect Tongcang now." Having said that, Xu Mo smiled again, and said: "Speaking of Tongcang, I realized it later. Treat him as my country."

"Master Gong's contribution to Tong Cang is no less than your Majesty's. If you do your best, you will naturally care more than others."

"Then what about you? Nan Hui? Or Tong Cang?"

Gong Jiuqing was stunned, then shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, maybe I don't want to help anyone. The only thing I want to do is to end the war as soon as possible."

"Well, that's fine too. When the war is over, it's the same as being a wandering wild crane."

Gong Jiuqing also nodded, and said: "Yes, I hope so." Speaking of this, Gong Jiuqing's mind suddenly brightened, and said: "I came up with a good idea, which can help Cang Nuan use Take back Tongcang as quickly as possible."

Xu Mo's eyes widened, and he thought to himself: Why is there such a big gap between people who have the same thing from primary school?

But then he smiled with relief, maybe in this world, the only person who can compete with Master is Gong Jiuqing.

"In that case, we ask His Majesty to discuss it together."

"it is good."
