After nightfall, there were few pedestrians on the official road. Gu Xinglang and Xiaozhuang Xiaowei rode their horses at a rapid speed. The light of the stars and the moon above their heads was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and the north wind whistled behind them. ..
Xiaozhuang complained, "Why is the winter in Zhuque so cold?"
Xiao Wei said, "Shut up."
Gu Xinglang turned his head to look at the two brothers behind him, and when he looked back again, heavy snow had already fallen from the sky.
"It's snowing again!" Xiaozhuang still complained. Zhuque is located in the south, and Xiaozhuang never thought that Zhuque would have ice and snow in winter.
Gu Xinglang pulled up his thick cloak to cover most of his face.
Xiao Wei said to Xiao Zhuang, "It will take us forever to get to the Southwest Camp even if we don't eat or drink. Can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Xiaozhuang shut his mouth, not because he was afraid of Xiaowei, but because if he opened his mouth, the snow would pour into his mouth.
At this moment, Gu Xinglang suddenly pulled the reins, and the warhorse neighed, raised its front hooves into the air, and stood up all of a sudden.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei also hurriedly stopped their horses. The war horses, which were originally galloping, stopped suddenly, turned around several times on the spot, and then stood still.
"Be careful!" Gu Xinglang jumped off the saddle at this moment and reminded Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei were about to stop their horses, and when they heard Gu Xinglang's shout, they were about to do the same as Gu Xinglang and abandon their horses, when two streams of energy shot out from the dense woods beside the official road. Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei were hit by the energy and felt as if something was strangling their throats. They fell off their horses and passed out immediately.
"Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Wei!" Gu Xinglang turned around to rescue, but another energy force came towards him. Gu Xinglang had no choice but to hold the silver spear in his hand horizontally and use the spear body to block the energy force. He was not hurt by the energy force, but he could not withstand the force and retreated several steps back.
"Your martial arts are good," a man in a dark brown monk's robe walked slowly out of the dense forest, standing in a position that just separated Gu Xinglang and the unconscious Xiaozhuang Xiaowei.
Gu Xinglang put the gun behind his back, looked at the monk, and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask."
Mo Wen raised his hand and waved, and a lantern hanging on a tree branch lit up. The light was dim in the wind and snow, but it was enough to illuminate the small space under the tree.
Gu Xinglang glanced at Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei who were still lying unconscious, and then looked at Mo Wen in front of him, still with a blank expression on his face.
Mo Wen asked, "Go to the Southwest Camp?"
Gu Xinglang said: "I am not a prisoner, where can I not go?"
Mo Wen smiled and said, "It seems that you are not worried about your life."
Gu Xinglang said coldly: "Master Mo Wen, are you waiting here to take my life?"
Mo Wen looked at Gu Xinglang's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, nodded, and said: "A person with a heart as calm as thunder and a face as peaceful as a lake can be a general. Compared to your elder brother, you are born to be a general."
Gu Xingnuo was flamboyant and lively when he was young, but he did not have the calmness and indifference of Gu Xinglang. Looking at Gu Xinglang who was cold towards him, and thinking about Gu Xingnuo back then, Mo Wen suddenly sighed. The baby who was sleeping soundly in the cradle in the past has grown into a teenager. He wanted to turn a blind eye to the passing of time, but things in the world never go as he wished.
Gu Xinglang was not a talkative person to begin with, and now facing Mo Wen, he had even less to say. He just stood there looking for Mo Wen's flaws, while also making second-hand preparations, waiting for Mo Wen to make a move.
Mo Wen asked, "Was it Jing Mo's idea to ask you to go to the southwest camp to mobilize troops?"
Gu Xinglang was silent.
Mo Wen walked towards Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang stepped back, his expression still indifferent.
When Mo Wen saw him enter, Gu Xinglang retreated, and then he stopped again and asked, "Is it you Xin Jingmo, or Princess Linglong Xin Jingmo?"
Gu Xinglang's expression changed slightly, but he still didn't speak.
“Jing Mo,” Mo Wen said with a smile, “a man with wolfish ambitions.”
Gu Xinglang frowned. Is this person chatting with him now?
Mo Wen said, "Xinglang, why don't you come to my side?"
Gu Xinglang... Is this guy mentally abnormal? According to what his wife said, this guy actually has a hole in his brain, right?
Mo Wen raised his hand to brush away the falling snow on his shoulder and whispered, "You hide your thoughts very well. But Xinglang, Jing Mo will become the emperor in the future. He can use the kingdom as a betrothal gift. Can you give the kingdom to Princess Linglong?"
Gu Xinglang clenched his fists, but his expression remained unchanged.
"You can give it to the princess, Jiang Zhuojun and Zuo You can also give it to the princess," Mo Wen said, "They can even give more. A good daughter is always sought after. Xinglang, what you are relying on now is not that you and the princess have already been married, but that Yu Linglong likes you. Just think about it, how can a marriage certificate bind the hands and feet of a royal princess?"
Gu Xinglang remained silent.
"How many couples in this world can stay together forever based on love alone?" Mo asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang's lips moved, and he finally said, "You stopped me just to say this nonsense to me?"
"Nonsense?" Mo Wen laughed, his expression compassionate, and sighed, "Why don't you tell me what you want now?"
Gu Xinglang said: "I want the world to be peaceful."
"You want power," Mo Wendao said, "If you want to grow old with Yu Linglong, you must have the ability to keep her. Xinglang, let me ask you, what is the basis for you to keep Yu Linglong? Don't tell me about the marriage certificate. It is worthless to you and Yu Linglong."
Gu Xinglang was silent again. How could he keep Yu Xiaoxiao? Gu Shao didn't know.
Mo Wen looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "Everyone in the world has inner demons, and Yu Linglong is your inner demon."
"Shut up!" Gu Xinglang suddenly fired a shot, carrying Feixue, straight into Mo Wen's heart.
Mo Wen stepped back, and the tip of the silver spear brushed past Mo Wen's wide monk robe and pierced into the snow, making a crisp "clang" sound.
"I can give you power," Mo Wen said to Gu Xinglang, "I can even let you trample the whole world under your feet. Xinglang, only by being loyal to me can you keep Yu Linglong forever."
Gu Xinglang raised his silver spear, knocking up all the snow on the ground.
Mo Wen still chose to avoid Gu Xinglang's shot and did not make a move. His figure floated like a ghost in the wind and snow.
"You are just a monk!" Gu Xinglang asked Mo Wen in a stern voice.
Mo Wen chuckled and said, "Why do you have to deceive yourself?"
The lantern on the branch was swept by the force of the silver spear, the rope broke and fell to the ground, the candlelight ignited the outer skin of the lantern, but the fire was quickly extinguished in the wind and snow.
"Kill Jing Mo," Mo Wen said to Gu Xinglang, "How can a dead man compete with you for the person you love?"
"Prince Consort?" Xiao Wei woke up from his coma and shouted.
"You can come to me anytime," Mo Wen approached Gu Xinglang and whispered, "When there is no place for you in the world, the Eternal Life Temple can give you a place to live."
