Chapter Ninety-Eight, The Man Under the Mask

Wine and food are served non-stop, and the feast cannot end in a moment.

Of the nearly 100 visitors who gathered, there were only Xu Chongxiao and Mo Tingchi who didn't drink and eat.

Mo Dump Chi and Su Xinghe chatted in a whisper, and after leaving the cave, he simply said hello to everyone, but he didn't want Xu Chongxiao to leave the banquet and stand in front of Ink Dump Pool.

The conversation between the two was interrupted, and Mo Tingchi nodded at Xu Chongxiao, saluted, and said, "Is there anything wrong with Elder Xu?"

Xu Chongxiao's face was solemn and solemn, and said: "I heard that the Tubo national teacher Gu Mozhi has died, is this true?"

Mo Tingchi nodded, and said lightly: "Yes, I have already sent my subordinates to deal with this matter, and send Gu Mozhi's coffin to the Tubo Kingdom" It doesn't hurt or itch, it seems that this is an inconsequential trivial matter.

Xu Chongxiao continued to ask: "I heard that Gu Mozhi was killed by someone with a sword through the heart, he is strong in martial arts, looking at the Central Plains, few people are invincible, so it can be asserted that the person who killed him should be a master with a sword." ”

Mo Tianchi nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I have seen his body, and he was indeed pierced through the heart with an arrow, and there are not many such sword masters on the rivers and lakes." He raised his head, looked at Xu Chongxiao, pointed at himself, and said: "Although I am not a master of using a sword, I can be called an expert, even if I want to kill Gu Mozhi with a sword, it needs to be designed to be successful." ”

Xu Chongxiao nodded, he believed that no one in the rivers and lakes in the head-to-head duel could kill Gu Mozhi in one move, he opened the subject and said: "Some people suspect that the person who killed Gu Mozhi is Mo Gongzi of Mo Dumping Pond?"

The three of them talked quietly, so the only people who knew this sentence were Mo Tingchi, Xu Chongxiao, and Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe was horrified.

As for Xu Chongxiao, Mo Dumping Chi was very calm.

Mo Tianchi waved his hand to signal Xu Chongxiao to stop, and said with a smile: "Then I should thank everyone for their love, after all, it is not easy to make people in the martial arts recognize a person's swordsmanship." But either way, the matter is irrelevant. ”

"Oh?"

"In Mo's opinion, two things are more important than the death of Gu Mozhi!First, Helian Tieshu is dead, the importance of Helian Tieshu to Western Xia does not need to be said, Elder Xu should also be very clear, obviously Western Xia will be on the verge of dispersal when he knows about this. ”

"Second, when the son of heaven suddenly became seriously ill, this matter is also urgent, if the Son of Heaven is critically ill, then the Western Xia and Liao will have wolf ambitions and invade the Central Plains, and the world will be ruined at that time. ”

"Elder Xu, you are a person who understands things and knows the priorities, you should know which of these two things is more important. ”

Xu Chongxiao's hand trembled, the facts were there, and he couldn't refute it.

For the death of Helian Tieshu, the beggars have an unshirkable responsibility.

He took a deep breath, looked at the person in front of him who was most likely to kill Gu Mozhi, and suddenly bent down and bowed towards Mo Tingchi, a different color flashed in Mo Tingchi's eyes, but he didn't move, looking at Xu Chongxiao.

Xu Chongxiao leaned on his cane and asked humbly, "Young Master Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Tianchi shook his head: "Elder Xu has already done the things above the temple, then I won't do more, the only thing I can do now is to wait for this matter to be over and go to Dasanguan to find out the movements of Western Xia." ”

Xu Chongxiao nodded, and asked a few more words, and Mo Tingchi responded one by one.

After a moment, Mo Qianchi turned around and glanced at Su Xinghe, turned back to Xu Chongxiao and said, "Elder Xu, can you wait for a while, I will ask you for advice after I finish talking with Mr. Su about the sect." ”

The words are obvious, open the door to send off guests.

Xu Chongxiao nodded, turned around and left, a flash of anger flashed on his wrinkled face.

Su Xinghe glanced at Mo Dump Chi, who was still smiling, and said, "Do you know that you have offended this beggar gang big man just now?"

Mo Qianchi smiled and withdrew his gaze at Xu Chongxiao, glanced back at Su Xinghe, and said calmly: "So what? Do I need to rely on him to do things for me? Or do you think he will obey me?"

Su Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Even if he won't obey you, then he is also the most respected figure among the first beggar gang today." ”

Mo Dump Chi retracted the smile on his face little by little, and sighed softly: "It is precisely because he is the most respected and authoritative figure in the status of the beggar gang today that I did not perfunctory him! Mr. Su, do you know what kind of person he is?"

Su Xinghe shook his head and said, "You have a conclusion in your heart?"

Mo Tingchi nodded: "In my eyes, he is a person who is greedy for power but has insufficient skills and determination to take on the role of the leader of the beggar gang, in short, he is a person who can only lead the beggar gang into the abyss, but fortunately, this person has a lot of shortcomings, at least one advantage: he is not ambiguous in terms of right and wrong." ”

Su Xinghe's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and he sighed, "I understand." ”

Mo Tingchi smiled, "What do you understand?"

Su Xinghe said slowly: "I understand that Xu Chongxiao's existence is exactly the situation you need, maybe it can be said that the situation in front of you is what you expected, am I right or not?"

Su Xinghe looked at the ink pouring pool, but it was difficult to find a clue.

Mo Tingchi looked in the direction of the stone cave and sighed softly: "Actually, although Ding Chunqiu was hit by my sword, he did not die. ”

Su Xinghe frowned and said, "That sword you obviously stabbed him in the heart and pierced his body?"

Mo Dump Chi sat down on the boulder, plucked a piece of grass, and stabbed it fiercely at the waterfall that was falling from the side, and said softly: "Piercing the heart will definitely die, but not necessarily immediately, like this, can you see that I pierced the grass into the waterfall?"

The grass out, flies out, and falls into the waterfall.

The water fell without any waves.

Looking at the waterfall, he couldn't see the slightest trace of grass thorns, and suddenly, he looked at the ink pouring pool in a daze, and the ink pouring pool said with a smile: "It seems that you not only saw Ding Chunqiu wrong, but also saw it wrong, you really have no eyes!"

Su Xinghe took a deep breath and asked, "But it's because of the sword?"

Mo Tingchi glanced down at the sword and sighed, "If a person's sword is too fast, then even if he kills someone, if he doesn't look carefully, he won't be able to see the wound at all." ”

Su Xinghe shook his head, immediately denied this answer, and said, "That's not right!"

Mo Tingchi asked, "What's wrong!"

Su Xinghe said: "Your sword is drawn very slowly, so if you really pierce Ding Chunqiu's heart, Ding Chunqiu will definitely not live for a quarter of an hour." ”

Mo Tingchi smiled, "You're wrong. ”

"What did I do wrong?"

Mo Tingchi said lightly: "In my plan, Ding Chunqiu would not have died outside the stone cave, he should have died in the stone cave." ”

Su Xinghe was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Mo Dumping Chi gave a reason: "Because Ding Chunqiu's life and death is a very important part of my plan, a link that can make Wu Yazi, that is, your master, completely desperate." ”

Su Xinghe was silent, he knew the cruelty of the plan, and he was not ready to accept it.

Mo Tingchi glanced up at Su Xinghe, the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight arc, and asked a question: "After this matter is over, will you still stay in Wuyazi as before?"

Su Xinghe didn't understand why Mo Dumping Chi asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "No matter what, he is still my master. ”

Mo Tingchi smiled more happily, and asked again, "I believe your words, but what about your heart, will your heart still treat him the way it used to?"

Su Xinghe somewhat understood, "I'm afraid it's difficult to go back to the past." ”

Mo Tianchi sighed, glanced at the black hole behind him, looked at the black hole like a dormant beast, and said: "It is indeed difficult to go back to the past, just as Ding Chunqiu plotted against Wu Yazi at the beginning, when Wu Yazi chose to sneak attack and kill Ding Chunqiu to die, he was destined to be lonely in this life." ”

Su Xinghe didn't understand a little, but he understood everything, and he at least understood that Wu Yazi would have to pay the price for everything he did in the future.

The price, anyone who does something needs to pay the price, this price may not be immediate, but it is absolutely impossible to disappear, such as the cliff in the cave, such as Ding Chunqiu.

Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tong looked at Wuyazi.

Wu Yazi looked down at his hands.

There was blood on his hands, Ding Chunqiu's blood, he looked at the blood on his hands and laughed, but in his mind, he recalled the smile of Ding Chunqiu's successful conspiracy before he died, his whole body trembled, and his heart was full of fear.

For a long time, Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui withdrew their gaze from Wu Yazi.

The two of them looked down at the scroll in unison.

The painting scroll is in Li Qiushui's hands, the painting scroll is obtained from Wu Yazi by the ink pouring pool, and the painting scroll is handed over to Li Qiushui by the ink pouring pool

"The answers you want to know are in the scroll. Both remembered what Mo Pond had said when he left, but the scroll didn't open.

Neither Li Qiushui nor Tianshan Tong's grandmother immediately opened the painting scroll.

Li Qiushui looked up at the Tianshan Tong who looked like a girl, and her eyes flashed with apologies.

Tianshan Tong's grandmother looked at Li Qiushui who had removed her veil, and looked at the few knife marks that she had drawn with her own hands to disfigure her appearance, and there was guilt in her eyes.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

They looked at each other and smiled at each other, and they were also smiling bitterly and laughing at themselves.

Li Qiushui looked at Tianshan Tong, handed the scroll to Tianshan Tong, and said, "I don't care about that question anymore, senior sister, I'll leave this answer to you." ”

Tianshan Tong's grandmother glanced at the painting scroll, looked up at Li Qiushui, and sighed: "Can you expect a man who wants to kill you to like you?"

Li Qiushui smiled and said, "No matter what, we have to come here in vain, aren't we?"

Tianshan Tong smiled reluctantly, her innocent eyes were helpless, and she threw the scroll up.

The scroll soars into the sky, then slowly falls.

The scroll opens, and there is a picture of a beautiful woman.

At this time, Wuyazi had already come to his senses and yelled: Give me back.

And the man threw himself at the scroll.

Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tong waved their sleeves, and two strong and domineering true qi knocked Wuyazi away.

The scroll was rolled up and fell into the hands of Tianshan Tong's grandmother.

Li Qiushui looked at the calm Tianshan Tong, showed a playful smile, blinked, and said, "Senior sister, aren't you jealous of me? ”

Tianshan Tong nodded, but her innocent eyes flashed a mocking look, and said: "Yes, I am indeed jealous of you, I am jealous that the woman on the scroll is almost exactly the same as you, and I am jealous that your luck is too bad." ”

Li Qiushui restrained his smile and sighed: "It seems that my senior sister still remembers my little sister, yes, the person on the painting is my little sister Canghai!"

Tianshan Tong smiled and said, "When you brought her to the sect as a guest, how could I forget that I had a woman who looked exactly like you but had a completely different temperament! “

Li Qiushui asked, "What's the matter?"

Tianshan Tong's grandmother said: "You have no affection for Wuyazi anymore. ”

Li Qiushui glanced back at Wu Yazi, who had an angry face, and sighed: "Senior sister could think calmly just now and didn't attack me out of anger, so why not?"

Tianshan Tong's grandmother sighed, this is the case, the past love is now sobered up, how much is left?

Tianshan Tong's grandmother raised her head, a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes, she handed the scroll to Wu Yazi, and said softly: "Senior sister, what should we do with him?"

Li Qiushui put his hands on his chest, supported his chin, and said with a smile: "Is it okay to break his hands and feet?"

Tianshan Tong's grandmother nodded in approval.

The two stepped forward.

Wuyazi, who looked stunned and crazy, suddenly got up and flew backwards.

Apparently this man is pretending to be crazy and stupid.

Two pairs of bright eyes looked at the person in front of them with a smile.

This is the brother they have been fighting for for many years, and this is really a funny joke.
