The truth is cone-hearted

"Teacher, I'm trying to fulfill one of your wishes."

Liang Jingmo hung up the phone and muttered to himself dreamily. He looked up at the gray mold-stained ceiling in a daze, and his mind seemed to return to the bloodstained room.

He remembered the teacher's last words. In the last meeting between the two, this man only entrusted him with one last thing besides saying goodbye - let him take Xiang Nanxing away from there and not go back.

Liang Jingmo thinks that he is not a good student, at least not the obedient kind. While agreeing, he has secretly decided that he must return to Xifeng in the future and complete the unfinished business of the teacher. Xiang Nanxing is an indispensable link on the road to this goal, so naturally he has to bring it. But now that his use value has come to an end, it doesn't matter to Liang Jingmo whether he stays in Xifeng or not.

If what he said just now could drive him away from the center of this whirlpool, it would be regarded as an explanation to the teacher. He thought, but there was some opposite expectation in his heart.

At that moment, the closed door was impolitely pushed open from the outside.

"Hey, the call is over?" The person who came pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought it was a whispered chat, but it turned out to be in a daze." ”

Liang Jingmo snorted, turned his head and looked at the other party coldly. "No kidding, 'Abyssal' dude." He said mercilessly, "Aren't you standing by the door before pushing it?" How thick a wall can be for your ears, you hear all what I say. ”

"Abyss" Xu Wen smiled and did not deny it. It's just that his eyes flickered while he smiled, as if he had found something intriguing in Liang Jingmo's expression.

"No more gossiping." He waved his hand, "You've been on the phone for a long time, do you want to continue the meeting outside?" ”

"Go on. At least tell them about the alliance. ”

Liang Jingmo rubbed his slightly aching temples, and was about to stand up, when he raised his eyes to see Xu Wen, but sat down again.

"There's something I want to ask you while there's no one else." He said lightly, "I used Luo Lun's line to indirectly place an order for the Nangong family, and entrusted them to intercept Jiang Le and his party, you did it, right?" ”

Xu Wen still had a smile on his face. "Why did you suddenly think of this?" He asked rhetorically.

"I just thought of it, and after thinking about it, I feel that you are the most suspicious, so I will try to ask." Liang Jingmo was still rubbing his temples and didn't raise his head, "As far as the result is concerned, the final result of the Nangong family's entry this time is to increase a reliable combat force for me, Nangong Tai made a special trip to bring people here but left alone, it doesn't look like he wants to complete a murder commission, but more like he is here to carry out the handover of the head of the family, and send people to Nangong Wang by the way." In this way, the person who entrusted the killer at the beginning was not only not malicious, but also a master of long-term planning and on our side. Not only is he very familiar with the Nangong family, but he also has a good relationship with Nangong Wang, who betrayed the Nangong family before, and only in this way can it be possible to coordinate in the middle and resolve the grievances between their father and son. ”

"At the end of the White Night Festival, the teacher once said to me, let me stay away from Xifeng and don't come back, otherwise he will send a killer to kill me even if he dies. He said this in a joking tone, but the details match what happened later. Before, I thought he was talking about the part of the training on the ship, but it wasn't until Nangong Wang appeared to save the scene that I finally confirmed that this was the teacher's strategy. ”

Xu Wen smiled: "Then you still say it's me?" ”

"You're the executor." Liang Jingmo said, "Contact the Nangong family in advance and instigate Luo Lun, who deserves to die, to place an order...... Somebody has to do these things. I originally thought that this person was Nangong Wang, but in that case, you wouldn't dissuade the two hosts sent by Jiang Le to help me in advance. You sent them away, obviously knowing that the killers of the Nangong family would come early in the morning, for fear of internal attrition between the two sides who distrust each other, and even accidental injuries. The person who can know this information in advance is the one who was entrusted by the teacher to carry out this plan. ”

Xu Wen grinned, which can be regarded as admitting. "So what? Are you going to thank me? He laughs.

"I do have to say thank you, after all, ......"

"It's early." Xu Wen waved his hand, "I told Lao Meng before, and he and I just take what we need in this matter." I don't care who he wants to support, I don't take sides, I just choose the best position to watch, and occasionally do something, just to see where things will go. ”

He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I don't want you to say thank you for what I did casually, but if I stab you in the back one day, I hope you don't hate me either." ”

Liang Jingmo looked at his serious face and suddenly burst out laughing. He clutched his stomach and smiled and bent over, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and laughed so much that tears were about to come out.

"Is that funny?" Xu Wen looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Or do these words make you think of yourself?" ”

"He is worthy of being a master who can read people's hearts." Liang Jingmo gave a thumbs up, "You, you obviously have a position but you have to say no, you have to say that you have to stab someone." If I had to say that, I had just stabbed someone in the hardest way possible. ”

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I hope the other party doesn't hate me too much." ”

On the one hand, there was laughter, but on the other hand, the atmosphere was as oppressive as a tomb. Jiang Liang gathered the people he trusted, announced the temporary alliance with Liang Jingmo's side, and began to arrange people to prepare for infiltrating the palace. Only his voice could be heard during the whole process. And Xiang Nanxing had been sitting on the side with a blank expression, not having the slightest reaction to what Jiang Liang said.

The others were not surprised that he was present at the meeting, but they were secretly surprised by his absent-minded state. A few people noticed that the girl sitting next to him was just as absent-minded as he was. When others were in a meeting, Nangong Qian kept holding Xiang Nanxing's hand tightly, trying to warm up these cold hands with the temperature of her palm.

She couldn't think of anything else she could say except to do it silently.

The truth I heard a few minutes ago is still thrilling to look back on.

"Meng Chuanbai is dead."

Jiang Liang's expression was calm when he said these words, just like the indifference he had at the White Night Festival after hearing the results of the victory and defeat. Nangong Qian felt Xiang Nanxing's body shake slightly, raised her head, but saw that he was still holding a calm face, and asked, "What I want to know is what happened in the room at that time." ”

"At the same time as we started the game, the 'Shogun Battle' also began. At that time, there was a 'teaser' duel between Meng Chuanbai and Huang Lao. Jiang Liang said, "Their chips are blood, and the losing side in each round will be drawn a certain amount of blood until one of them completely falls." ”

Xiang Nanxing's face suddenly turned pale. Jiang Liang looked at his reaction and nodded.

"It's the same as you think. In the game you and I were playing, the blood bags were from the other side of the game. Jiang Liang said, "Huang Lao and I are both Type A, you are Type B, and Meng Chuanbai is Type O." In other words, I can afford all the blood supplements, and you can only choose the ones from Meng Chuanbai. If he wins too much, resulting in too much Huang Lao's blood in the replenishment blood bag, your side will most likely die of hemolysis. ”

"So he had to lose, keep losing, and fill those refill bags with his own blood. But if he really loses all the way to the end, even if he can let you survive, it will lead to the final defeat of the White Night Festival. So at the last moment of the game on our side, Meng Chuanbai over there gambled all the chips at one time and wanted to turn the tables in one fell swoop. ”

Jiang Liang sighed: "As far as the result is concerned, he made the right bet." ”

"Wait, that's not right." As soon as Xiang Nanxing opened his mouth, he found that his voice was extremely dry, "Since he won this never-ending game in the end, why did I see Huang Lao coming over to announce the result?" ”

"Because after the winner was decided, he did one thing." Jiang Liang said, "He snatched the blood vessel that originally belonged to Huang Lao and took it to his side, and even the host on the scene couldn't stop him from doing it." So although he was the one who won, he was the one who died in the end. ”

"Why would he do that?"

When Xiang Nanxing raised this question, he already had a faint answer in his heart. Recalling Liang Jingmo's previous words, a blood-stained room seemed to emerge in front of him, and in it sat a middle-aged man who had taken off his mask and was letting his blood pour into the duct. Xiang Nanxing couldn't remember his appearance clearly, so in his imagination, this person could only have a vague face, but Xiang Nanxing knew that his appearance at that time must be deeply engraved in Liang Jingmo's heart and would never disappear.

Those hatreds and anger were born in that scene.

"Maybe you don't know that those two were masters and apprentices, and Meng Chuanbai didn't want Huang Lao's life from the beginning. Since someone has to die, that's the best ending for him. Jiang Liang replied, "Instead of Huang Lao dying in this game, on the one hand, it is to repay the kindness of the teaching many years ago, and on the other hand, he also evokes Huang Lao's compassion with his own life, in exchange for the other party's promise." ”

"The promise is," Jiang Liang said word by word, "Huang Lao vouched with his life that Xifeng would never make a move on his son." ”

"He's done that." Xiang Nanxing muttered, "This is really ......"

"Can't believe it?" Jiang Liang sneered, "When you say this kind of thing, do you think you really know him?" Do you remember what you were in prison for in Xifeng? ”

Xiang Nanxing nodded. The blood-soaked hotel had been his nightmare for a long time.

"The number of people alive in the hotel is zero - this is what Meng Chuanbai announced in that 'war of stealing the country'. You didn't end up in prison, you died there. Jiang Liang said, "He overestimated the extent to which Huang Lao was unscrupulous in the face of a strong enemy, and after learning that you were arranged by Huang Lao to that hotel, he gave up the gamble like crazy, chased back the killers dispatched, and rushed to the end of defeat with all his might." This failure not only means that all his plans for the 'war of stealing the country' in the past ten years have failed, but also points to his death. ”

"In order to save your life, he put his life on the line at that time. What he later did in the White Night Sacrifice was to use his life in exchange for fighting out of the siege again where he thought it was worthwhile, nothing more. ”

He finished speaking, but he did not hear an answer from the other side. Xiang Nanxing's hands became cold from that moment on, and at the same time, his emotions and reactions were frozen. He nodded blankly and turned to sit down in a chair in the corner. He just sat there, letting Jiang Liang, who was not far away, hold a meeting, and when the meeting was over, his lowered head never raised even once.

Nangong Qian stayed on the side in vain, to no avail. This killer girl is not good at words, and she is helpless against Xiang Nanxing's depression. Occasionally, the latter looked up and responded with a wry smile of reassurance, but the smile only made her sad.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Le, who was supposed to leave with the crowd of people who had dispersed, silently made a decision.

"I want to ask you for time." She leaned behind her and said, "Let me be alone for a while, okay?" ”

"Of course, 'Princess.'" The maid behind him replied indifferently.
