Easter eggs

"Can I sit next to you?"

Mo Xi's fingertips trembled slightly, and the wine in the glass cup almost didn't spill out.

He turned his head as if in a dream, but the person he saw was not Gu Mang—of course it couldn't be Gu Mang. Mo Xi, who came back to his senses, almost sneered in his heart, what was he thinking.

The person who spoke was a thin-faced man in Tsing Yi, who sat on a wooden wheelchair due to inconvenient legs and feet, with plain cold clothes on his shoulders and a thin light green blanket on his knees.The low-hanging tung flowers by the terrace were falling and resting on his blanket, but he didn't flick them off, and the petals were blown away by the wind, but he didn't try to hold them back, as if he didn't care about anything.This man's demeanor is very light. It's hard to tell whether this lightness is because of his restrained temperament or because his body is too weak.Or both.

Jiang Yexue.

Mo Xi almost immediately matched him with the person in his memory.

This person is his old friend in the article, and also Yue Chenqing's elder brother, but Jiang Yexue was expelled from the Yue family long ago because he insisted on marrying the criminal minister's daughter. He used to be such a powerful character with such a noble background, but now he is living a very poor life.

Yue Chenqing didn't recognize him either.

Under the moonlight, a slight smile appeared on Jiang Yexue's pale face: "Mr. Xihe."

Mo Xi stood up straight and nodded: "Elder Qingxu."

Jiang Yexue smiled and said: "It's too noisy inside, I guess you can't stand it, you will definitely come to the stage to blow air, there is nothing wrong."

Although in "Forbidden/Book", the two of them knew each other when they were studying in the academy, but as Mo Xi, this was actually the first time he saw Jiang Yexue himself in a real sense.

Mo Xi said: "If you want to find me, just send someone a message, why bother to come out by yourself. The injury on your leg does not show the wind and cold, I will take you back."

"It's okay, it hasn't hurt for a long time." Jiang Yexue said, "I came to thank you. Chen Qing is young, playful and ignorant, thanks to you for taking care of him these two years."

When Jiang Yexue was expelled from the mansion, Yue Chenqing was still young, but when he grew up, he said that he couldn't remember much about his childhood.The relationship between these two people is very lamentable now. Under the influence of his father, Yue Chenqing has never looked down on this humble elder brother who is as cold as a cicada and an ant, but Jiang Yexue has cared about the brotherhood and has been silently thinking about him.

Mo Xi was silent for a while, then said: "Your brother is young, it's not a bad thing to be playful. What's more, he has grown a lot after being away for two years."

Jiang Yexue smiled softly: "Really? Didn't he make trouble for you?"

"..."

Thinking of Yue Chenqing's indiscriminate virtue, Mo Xi felt a headache for a while, but seeing Jiang Yexue's weak but concerned appearance, it was really hard to say anything, he just said: "It's just a little, but it can help a lot."

Jiang Yexue sighed and nodded: "Okay, that's good."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yexue said, "Xihe Jun has been away from the country for a long time, so there must be many things that happened in the imperial capital that are still unclear."

He is very understanding.

"The hall is too noisy, and I don't want to go back for a while. If Mr. Xihe wants to know anything, just ask me." Jiang Yexue said, "There are endless words."

"...I don't have anything in particular I want to know." Mo Xi turned his head and looked at the imperial capital, where thousands of households fell into the stars, "I don't have any relatives or friends in the city."

Jiang Yexue looked at him, not in a hurry, but nodded gently.

After a while, Mo Xi coughed lightly, and really started to ask: "Have you been okay all these years?"

"Good."

"Where is your majesty?"

"he's great."

"Where is Princess Mengze?"

"Alright."

"Cultivation Academy?"

"good."

Mo Xi: "..."

Jiang Yexue's eyes were filled with some indeterminate colors, and Mo Xi had a weird feeling, as if Jiang Yexue knew that these were not the main points he wanted to ask, so he didn't answer so seriously.

"Is there anything else you want to know?"

"Gone."

But after a while, Mo Xi drank the last bit of residual wine in his cup, looked at the bright night, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Where's Gu Mang?...how is he?"

Jiang Yexue looked at him as if sighing, "Oh, you finally asked him."This time it's not just two or three words, but Jiang Yexue thought about it for a long time, and said, "How is he doing? Sorry, I haven't been to that kind of place, so I don't know the specifics. But it shouldn't be very good."

Mo Xi was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment, he frowned and asked, "Where is it?"

Jiang Yexue didn't expect him to have such a reaction. She opened her eyes slightly and was stunned: "You don't know?"

"What do I know?"

Jiang Yexue: "..."

Neither of them spoke again.There was a sudden burst of lively laughter in the main hall, and drunken men and women were projected between the window grilles, and the figures overlapped and messed up.

Mo Xi came to his senses suddenly, and opened his eyes wide: "He couldn't have been sent—"

"...He has been in Luomei Bieyuan for two years. Chen Qing didn't tell you?" Jiang Yexue paused and said, "That's Wang Shu Jun's place, and you know, Wang Shu Jun hates him. "

Luomei Bieyuan... that is...

Set this prompt sound: [brothel ah].

Needless to say, he had guessed it from his conversation with Jiang Yexue.

Mo Xi was dumbfounded.

Ever since he melted his soul, Mo Xi had envisioned a lot of what would happen to Gu Mang.

At that time, he didn't know what the punishment was waiting for Gu Mang in this world. He imagined that if Gu Mang was locked in the sky prison, he might go over and take a look, and then say a few words sarcastically.If Gu Mang became a useless person, he would not sympathize with him, and maybe even trip him up a bit.

Even if there was something soft between them, after so many years, the hatred has accumulated too deep, and they can no longer reconcile.

In the real world, the last time Mo Xi saw Gu Mang was lying on the rescue table and being pushed into the operating room. The red light was on, just like Gu Mang's blood on his shirt.

That was the last farewell he and Gu Mang had never quarreled with.

Mo Xi's imagination is very lacking, he can only shine from reality into fantasy, so the only situation he ever imagined that he can drink a pot of wine with him calmly is similar, in the cemetery, Gu Mang lying in the , he stood outside, and he might still talk to him as before, and put a bunch of red peony flowers transformed from spiritual power in front of the bluestone tombstone.

But from a long time ago, Gu Mang was good at bringing all kinds of surprises to Mo Xi.Mo Xi never thought that even this time it would be the same——

Luomei Bieyuan.

Mo Xi was tormenting these four words in his heart, he thought of these four words over and over again, trying to get a little bit of comfort out of it.

But in the end, he found that he was just doing a futile act, and he didn't get any pleasure from it. On the contrary, he felt disgusted and angry.

He didn't know where his nausea and anger came from. Isn't this something that should please everyone?

"Mr. Xihe, are you alright?"

"..." Mo Xi propped his elbows on the railing, he wanted to bend his fingers, but they were extremely numb.He turned his head to look at Jiang Yexue's facial features, but felt indescribably blurred.

There were dizziness in front of my eyes, and cramps in my stomach.

Gu Mang was sent to Luomei Bieyuan.

It has been two years.

what is that placeBrothel and Moon Field!Old Echinoderms can buy hotbeds of tender flesh there, a house full of ugly and foul sacrificial places, a place of rot.Over a period of time, the flesh and blood of the people sold can be exhausted, the warm-tempered people go in beyond recognition, and the hot-tempered people go in and die.

They sent him there?

No, it's not them who should be disgusted, but Gu Mang himself... Is Gu Mang crazy to write such a story?What does this represent?What does it allude to?It was said before that Gu Mang hid many unspeakable secrets and unwillingness in the book - what is his unwillingness?

I would rather sell my flesh and live like mud than die, right? ! !

Mo Xi felt that he should laugh wantonly at this moment, this is the right way, and it is in line with the bloody hatred between the two of them in people's eyes, so he really twisted his lips and teeth to try to pry out some comfort.

But the last thing that came out was a sneer of "ha", which fell from between Sensenbei's teeth thinly.

It seemed that the handsome face under the sun when we first met flashed before my eyes again, with black eyes smiling at him: "Can I sit by your side?"

It seemed that the bright appearance of the young man Gu Mang flashed again, lively among a group of friends, he turned his head and blinked at Mo Xi, the tails of his eyes were very long and slightly upward, and then he opened a gentle arc and smiled genuinely.

He also remembered those memories of Gu Mang in this world——

There is a grinning and glib tone: "Come on, I am currently serving in the army and voting for the king, and I will be promoted in the coming year to make my fortune."

There was an angry cry from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood: "Come on, let's go, all those who are not completely dead, cheer up for me! I will take you home!"

And persistently knelt in front of the Golden Temple to ask the king not to bury his soldiers hastily: "I want to ask the pharmacists to identify those corpses... Please, this is not a useless effort, every soldier's tombstone should be First and last name, Your Majesty, I don’t want any brothers who won’t be able to return home in the end.”

"What they want is not Ai Rong, but a person who should have a name."

"It's their dignity."

Gu Shuai's words were like cold rain falling, and Mo Xi didn't know how sincere Gu Mang was when he said these words, or just a few beautiful words casually typed on the keyboard.He didn't know, but he just felt a splitting headache as the sentences trickled back into his memory.He couldn't help but increase his forehead with his hand, and covered his face under the shadow of his hand, which was icy cold.

The heart is clammy.

Jiang Yexue said: "Mr. Xihe... are you alright?"

No one answered, and after a long time, a voice with no emotion could be heard, cruising out of the shadows calmly: "Okay. Why is it not good."

Mo Xi murmured: "I really hate him..."

Jiang Yexue looked at him and sighed: "Actually, if you feel bad, it's not surprising."

The copper bells on the eaves are tinkling, and the slender bright yellow tassels are dancing in the wind.

"You two names have always been mentioned together in the past. You practiced spells together in the Cultivation Academy, went to the battlefield together, and were sealed together later." Jiang Yexue said calmly, "Now, you are still High above you, but he has already fallen into the dust. After so many years of being on par with each other, what people say is the double jade of the country, but now you are the only one left. I don't think you will be happy. And there is..."

He paused, then turned to look at Mo Xi.

"Mr. Xihe, he was also your friend."

Mo Xi hung down his thick long eyelashes, and replied after a while: "I was blind when I was young."

"After he betrayed the country, you still believe in him for a long time."

"Yes. I'm quite blind." Mo Xi said, looking at the cup in his hand, there was still a smear of wine in it, glowing with scarlet blood, he no longer wanted to continue this conversation, "The wind is blowing. Qing Xu Elder, let's go back to the main hall."

A few days after learning of Gu Mang's whereabouts, Mo Xi has been very irritable.

He originally wanted to restrain this emotion that he shouldn't have, but as time went by, his irritability continued unabated.

Mo Xi knew that he had a heart disease.

Only Luomei Bieyuan has that potion of heart medicine.

Finally, one night, when it was dark, a carriage with heavy night veils slowly drove into the holy city to the north of the imperial capital, which only monks could enter.

Mo Xi sat in the chariot and drove to the depths of the holy city. He closed his eyes and closed his eyes. Even though he was the only one inside with curtains falling around him, he still kept his back straight. His handsome face was almost extravagant. There is no expression on the face, and it is so cold that it is daunting.

"Master, the place is here."

Mo Xi didn't get out of the carriage directly, but raised the curtain and glanced out from the shadows.

It was the busiest time of the night market in the holy city. Two rows of extravagant Nine-Nine-Hanmei lanterns and candles were lit with spiritual power outside the courtyard across the street, reflecting the bright red plaque hanging high - Luomei Bieyuan.

"The dawn wind is frosty and clearer than snow, and once it falls into the dust and mud."

It is different from the usual cosmetic shops, a large part of them are prisoners of war obtained by the Chonghua Kingdom, their spiritual cores have been abolished, and they have become prisoners and molesties since then.

"Master, do you want to go in?"

Li Junlei: 【Attention, Mr. Xihe will not be willing to go to Luomei Bieyuan, this behavior will deduct 5% of the role restoration value. 】

It's not that Mr. Xihe doesn't want to go, it's just that he doesn't want to be seen going.Mo Xi said in his heart angrily, if you want to deduct it, you can deduct it, anyway, I have a recovery rate of 77%.

[It makes sense, modify the judgment method, deduct 5% of the degree of reduction if people see you when you enter Luomei Bieyuan, and add 0.5% of the degree of reduction if you enter Luomei Bieyuan without being seen. 】

"..."

This is the reason why Mo Xi still only has a recovery rate of 70.00% after two years. Li Junlei's deductions are three and five points, and the extra points are added at [-].

Seeing that Mo Xi hadn't responded, the coachman asked timidly, "Master, do you want to go in?"

Mo Xi said, "Go through the back door."

The carriages and horses stopped at the back gate of Luomei Bieyuan.

"You go back, you don't need to guard here."

After giving instructions to the coachman at the mansion, he stood on the spot and looked at the terrain several times, then tiptoed, skimmed the corner of the eaves, and sneaked into the night without a sound.

Before coming here, he had seen the filing drawings of Luomei Bieyuan, so it was not difficult to find the residences of the young ladies and gentlemen. Soon, he came to the flower pavilion in the side courtyard.Put on the cloak, enter through the main entrance like a normal guest, and walk through the rows of rooms with vermilion-lacquered doors closed.

"Qin Cai, maidservant of Wanku Fire"

"Blood Rain Left Army Deputy General Tang Hulu"

"Blood Rain Left Army Female Officer Ji Roufan"

There is such a small wooden sign hanging by each door, on which are written the former states, official positions, and names of these people in detail. The guests find the most suitable catharsis object.

If there are guests looking for pleasure inside, the name on the sign is red, and if there are no guests inside, the words on the sign are black.

For these men and women in Luomei Bieyuan, their smiles, flattery, sex, and even the lives of each of them are clearly priced.

Mo Xi glanced at it, and the hem of his clothes fluttered. He walked through rows of corridors. The sound insulation here is not good, and the movement of men and women in the room is really vivid. Faster and faster - where is Gu Mang?After walking through dozens of rooms, I still didn't see the sign.

Went up to the second floor and searched again.

Finally, at a remote corner, Mo Xi stopped.

A dark wooden sign with thin handwriting.

"Chonghua traitor Gu Mang"

In the entire other courtyard, there is the only card with the word "Chong Hua" on it.

Mo Xi's gaze seemed to be extremely heavy and heavy, and it fell on the small sign. At that moment, something seemed to be ignited in his black eyes, burning darkly.But that light quickly went out.

He raised his hand, and when his knuckles were an inch away from the door, he stopped again.

He suddenly realized that the words on Gu Mang's card were red.

have a guest.
