By the time the chief guard and his team escorted Jing Mo into the forest where Gu Xingnuo and the others were temporarily staying, half an hour had passed. When they reached Young Master Gu, Prince Jing was still coughing with his hands covering his mouth, apparently choking from the thick smoke from the burning of the medicine man in the open space.
Gu Xingnuo looked at Jing Mo sitting down next to him and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation outside?"
Jing Mo glanced at the haggard-looking Young Master Gu and shook his head, saying, "The great witches know how to get rid of the medicine man. We don't need to worry about the medicine man."
Gu Xingnuo asked again: "How many people died this time?"
Jing Mo shook his head and sighed, saying: "No matter how many casualties there are, we can't beat Mo Wen."
Gu Xingnuo asked: "How many medicine men did he get out?"
Jing Mo said: "If not a thousand, at least eight hundred."
Young Master Gu almost jumped up from the ground. If not a thousand, at least eight hundred? There was only one small village in this area, Beishan Village, with dozens of people. Where did Mo Wen get so many people from?
Jing Mo gently patted Gu Xingnuo's shoulder and whispered, "Lie down and don't move. No matter how angry you are, you have to think about your injury."
Gu Xingnuo said: "Why are there so many people?"
"Dead man," Jing Mo said.
"What?" Gu Xingnuo was unable to react for a moment.
Jing Mo sighed and said, "There is a cemetery nearby. According to the Great Witch, most of the medicine men this time are dead bodies."
“How could a dead body…” Young Master Gu originally wanted to ask how a dead body could become a medicine man, but after taking a look at his father who was still buried in the ground, he no longer needed to ask this question.
Jing Mo also looked at the person buried in the ground and asked Gu Xingnuo, "Did the princess do this?"
Gu Xingnuo said "hmm".
Jing Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Except for the princess, no one else can do this."
Gu Xingnuo remained silent.
Jing Mo also accompanied Young Master Gu in silence.
In the dark forest, the cry of a returning bird suddenly sounded, startling everyone who had been on edge.
The eldest brother ran to Gu Xingnuo with a few brothers and asked, "Master, I will take a few brothers to take a look."
"Go ahead, and be careful," Gu Xingnuo agreed to the boss.
Watching the boss and his men running deep into the forest, Jing Mo made small talk: "This is the first time I've heard birds singing since entering the Miao land. I always thought there were no flying birds here."
Gu Xingnuo said: "Xing Lang killed Gui Chen, can this be blamed on Mo Wen?"
Jing Mo fell back and sat against the tree behind him, smiling, "What a coincidence? I thought so too. Gui Chen brought 120 Xuanwu death warriors this time, and I left no one alive."
Young Master Gu said, "Are you sure it's 120 people?"
Jing Mo said: "I have interrogated him."
Gu Xingnuo thought for a moment and said, "Even if a few of them escaped, it's not a big problem. Gui Chen was a skilled martial artist, but he was killed by Jing Lang's broken neck. If I were the king of Xuanwu, I wouldn't believe such a statement."
"Well," Jing Mo said, "As long as we all speak with one voice, it is far from enough for Mo Wen to rely on a few dead men to speak for him."
"What will King Xuanwu do?" asked Young Master Gu.
Jing Mo said: "Emperor Shunyuan doesn't have the courage to go against Mo Wen, but as long as he doesn't follow Mo Wen wholeheartedly, then we should go to the Buddha and burn some incense."
Gu Xingnuo laughed, but there was no smile on his face.
Jing Mo pointed at General Gu on the ground and asked in a low voice: "Is this my uncle?"
"Yes," Gu Xingnuo did not hide it and nodded directly.
Jing Mo stared at General Gu on the ground for a long time. The relationship between Prince Jing and his father, Emperor Chongwen, was shallow, so it was impossible for Jing Mo to empathize with Gu Xingnuo and understand his feelings. So Jing Mo said directly to Young Master Gu: "I thought General Gu had passed away for many years. The one in front of me is not General Gu."
Gu Xingnuo didn't say anything. Jing Mo was right. The person in front of him was just a medicine man, but emotionally, Young Master Gu couldn't accept it at the moment.
Seeing that Gu Xingnuo didn't say anything, Jing Mo asked again: "Is his situation the same as Shanbei's?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "We will know this after the princess comes back."
Jing Mo sat there in a daze for a while, then suddenly asked Gu Xingnuo, "During the battle at Wangxiang Pass, are you sure that General Gu died on the battlefield?"
Gu Xingnuo was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, did you see the general die in battle with your own eyes?" Jing Mo asked.
Gu Xingnuo frowned and whispered, "When my father died in battle, Xingyan and I were not by his side."
"Where's Mr. Gu?"
"No," Gu Xingnuo looked at Jing Mo and said, "The person next to my father is Gu Li."
"Well," Jing Mo said, "Gu Lihai killed General Gu, and then surrendered to me, Zhuri. Oh, by the way, this battle has nothing to do with me."
Gu Xingnuo shook his head. Jing Mo was just a child at that time. Why would he go to the battlefield? "I know," said Young Master Gu, "You were still young at that time, the eldest prince."
"Aren't you and the second young master Gu the same?" Jing Mo said, "Grandpa Gu is a kind-hearted man. His two grandsons were still children, but he dared to let you go to the battlefield."
Jing Mo's words made Master Gu roll his eyes. How could Fengtian compare with Zhuri, which had many soldiers and generals? When the war started, which general in the Gu family army was not used as three people? He, Gu Xingyan, and Gu Xinglang, all of them had fought on the battlefield at a young age.
Jing Mo stood up, walked around General Gu who was struggling on the ground, and said to Gu Xingnuo: "Could it be that Mo Wen was the one who murdered the general?"
Gu Xingnuo's eyes jumped.
Jing Mo said: "Gu Li is now Jing Qian's right-hand man, and Jing Qian is Mo Wen's puppet. Do you think there was any connection between Gu Li and Mo Wen?"
Gu Xingnuo said angrily: "Why did Mo Wen want to harm my father?"
Jing Mo looked at Master Gu and said, "I have to ask you this. Why did you escape from the Eternal Life Temple?"
"I," Gu Xingnuo was speechless.
Jing Mo said: "Now Qinghui has also fallen into Mo Wen's hands. Is this just a coincidence?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "I saw the medicine man he kept in the back mountain. Just for this, is he going to kill my whole family?".miao笔ge.com Update Fast
"Medicine man?" Jing Mo said, "That's one reason, but I think there should be something else."
"I only saw the medicine man," Gu Xingnuo emphasized to Jing Mo.
Jing Mo said: "Did Mo Wen do anything to you?"
Jing Mo's eyes were full of meaning. Young Master Gu was furious and shouted at Jing Mo angrily: "What can he do to me?!"
"Oh," Jing Mo smiled and said, "I just feel that Mo Wen could have killed you, but he always seemed reluctant to do it. Have you never doubted it yourself?"
