Chapter 142 The Nightmare Is Hard to Get Rid of ([-])

Mo Li, who has always been silent and cold in front of others, is undoubtedly fragile at this moment. However, this rare moment of vulnerability is unbearable to criticize.

Forcibly tearing away the wound in his heart that seems to be firmly engraved on the heart like a brand and seems to be forever indelible, for him, it is undoubtedly more cruel and ruthless than the punishment of death. The tragic past scenes are the beginning of fear. The original, but lifelong guilt.

Cang Hao looked down at the black head unconsciously resting on his lap, with a deep look in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly: "At the beginning, this king went to Nanyue Prime Minister's Mansion for you, Shu Tong and Shu He brothers People are not in the plan."

After the words fell, Mo Li's body vibrated slightly, as if hesitant and hesitant, but he didn't speak in the end.

"If this king hadn't known in advance that Shu Tong had defended you in every possible way, 11 years ago, there would only have been two more corpses in the prime minister's mansion that was full of fire."

"Master..." Mo Li raised his head, moved his body back a little, his uneasy expression showed that he didn't seem to know the inside story of this.

"The matter of the Mohist family is an inevitable result of the power struggle, and no one can avoid it, but in the end it was the Cang family who defeated the Mohist family. Therefore, how can this king allow the remaining blood of the Mohist family to fall into another country?" Cang Hao relied on Sitting on the chair, his expression was a little distant, and the picturesque and cold eyebrows were reflected in Mo Li's eyes, which was still unattainable and noble, but, for him at this time, there was a little more precious warmth.

Mo Li said in a low voice: "Isn't the master always doting on Shu He?"

Except at the beginning, he and Shu He suffered a lot because of being extremely unruly, so they were terrified of their master and never dared to act recklessly.For a long time afterwards, anyone could see that the master spoiled Shuhe so badly, as long as he didn't do anything too much, he would indulge him in every possible way. He secretly rejoiced that the guilt towards Shu Tong made him restless, and that Shu He could get his master to look at him differently. He was sincerely moved and happy for Shu Tong. How much he hoped that Shu He would be compensated for what happened to Shu Tong. Although such compensation , not from him.

"Although Shu Tong has gone through hardships, his temperament is exceptionally persevering, which is not comparable to ordinary people. Shu He is flying freely and has a youthful heart. This king is also happy to see him. It is not entirely because of you that you dote on him." Thinking of that extremely arrogant and unrestrained The red-clothed boy, Cang Hao's mouth slightly curled up, and he turned his head to look at Mo Li, with a rare tenderness in his tone: "Since Shu Tong is willing to protect you, I think it must be willingly, no matter what the reason, the thing has happened , What's the point of worrying about it afterward?"

Mo Li lowered his head, and said with difficulty: "It's not to worry about, those pictures... are like maggots on the tarsus bone, all the pain and humiliation, and the lives of those fifteen innocent teenagers... I am the culprit..."

Cang Hao said indifferently: "You don't know the grievances of the previous generation, so how do you know that what Lian Nanfei said must be true? Mo Li, I understand that you were young at that time and had no power of judgment when you fell into a dangerous situation , but now that you are a general in the army, if you think about those meaningless things, it may only mean that the harsh teachings I have given you these years are meaningless. If this is the case, I will either give up , otherwise, we can only use some special means.”

Give up, or use special means, and Mo Li's handsome face, which has just recovered some blood, turns pale again. He can't afford these two choices.

"It's been 11 years, even if it's miserable, those past events can no longer be a reason for you to go to the dead end. Mo Li, this king will definitely not condone this aspect."

The last sentence made Mo's heart sink, and he immediately had an ominous premonition.

"Moon Xiao."

Yue Xiao, who had been waiting outside the door, came in after hearing the order, and turned a blind eye to the mess on the ground, and calmly glanced at Mo Li, who was kneeling beside the master and bowed his head silently, lowered his eyes, and covered his eyes. Worried among them, he bowed and said, "Master."

Cang Hao looked at him and said: "Order someone to prepare another portion of the meatball."

"Yes."

"Master." Mo Li raised his head and looked at Cang Hao, his voice trembled slightly, as if he realized something, his face was almost transparently white.

"The imperial dining room is not too far away, and it probably won't take too long to prepare a meal. The time is limited. If you can't bear it, you can say it now. The king will not force you."

Mo Li didn't dare, it was too difficult to say weak words, and he didn't know what the consequences would be if he said it, but all the muscles in his body tensed inch by inch, and all the blood on Junyi's face disappeared.

The waiting time seemed to be very long, but it came in the blink of an eye. After Yue Xiao brought out the same plate of nine-piece assorted meatballs, Mo Li's expression was close to collapse.

Seeing this, Yue Xiao also felt heart-wrenching pain, but he had to do this, he would not allow Mo Li to torture himself like this for the rest of his life, even with a sense of guilt that didn't need to exist.

Putting the plate and chopsticks on the coffee table on Cang Hao's right, Yue Xiao took a few steps back, knelt down quietly, and said in a low voice: "Today, thanks to Master's rare warmth and pampering, Yue Xiao dared to arrange this As soon as it comes out, this behavior is too out of bounds, please punish me, master."

Cang Hao said: "When did you see the clue?"

Yue Xiao said: "In the first three years, Yue Xiao was in charge of their meals, and they often ate together. Because of the relationship between Mo Li and Shu He's martial arts training and growing their bodies, the master ordered them to pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables. At that time, Jiyue Villa had just started. In addition to being busy, the meals are also simple. There are two fixed meat and two dishes for each meal, and meatballs and the like are rarely served on the table. Later, on a whim, Yue Xiao learned a skill in a restaurant, using glutinous rice, fresh meat, and lotus root Made a simple plate of pearl balls, thinking of adding something to the two of them, Shu He was overjoyed, and ate a few in a row, but Mo Li didn't even look at it. At that time, he only said that Mo Li was scared by his master , he only focused on martial arts and literacy, and didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to eating. Later, after cooking more times, he found that he didn't seem to be keen on the carefully made meatballs, and he never looked at them. As they grow up day by day, Xiao Cai gradually realized that something was wrong, every time there was food like meatballs on the table, Yue Xiao would quietly pay attention to Mo Li's expression, there was unconcealable disgust and panic in his eyes, it was not simply dislike, Yue Xiao saw it in his eyes at the time, secretly startled, and secretly remembered it in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to tell the master."

"In order to avoid unforeseen consequences, in the next few years, as long as Mo Li is present, Xiao will avoid serving meatballs on the table. The master has a keen mind. Although he only occasionally has dinner together when he is free, as long as there is Then once, the master will definitely notice it, and only by avoiding it completely can he hide it from the master safely.

"Xiao and Shu Tong are about the same age, and I feel sorry for his tenacious character, which is several times stronger than ordinary people. I always want to get closer to him. Once, I asked him about Mo Li in private. He was silent for a long time until night Only then came to Xiao's yard and said a word.

"He said that it was Shu Tong's nightmare, but it was Mo Li's nightmare. Don't mention it again."

It was Shu Tong's nightmare, but it was Mo Li's nightmare... When he wakes up, the nightmare can disappear, but the nightmare is always lingering in his heart, lingering, unable to stop, let the mind be bound tighter , until suffocation.

"Shu Tong said that it was a beast living in Mo Li's heart. Unless he released himself, no one could help him. But after more than ten years, Xiao only saw that Mo Li became more and more silent, and that things in his heart were never right. People said. That night, countless officials were punished, and the empress and Murong's family were also overthrown. It is expected that the great revenge will be avenged, and those who have committed all these crimes have already received retribution. Mo Li will let go, so today Taking advantage of Master's good mood, Wan wants to take this opportunity to let Mo Li completely get out of the entanglement of the nightmare."

A long narration contains a lot of fear and helplessness, even calculations. This is the only secret that Yue Xiao dares to hide and not report when he has been by Cang Hao's side for more than ten years.They were too young at that time, and the deep-rooted fear of Cang Hao made him dare not tell this secret, and he didn't dare to guess what it would bring to Mo Li after speaking.Concealment, at the time, was his only choice.

However, the only choice may be that Cang Hao will definitely not allow it.

The people in the side hall next door were drinking, and they obviously had a lot of gambling. Excited shouts came clearly, especially the fourteenth and Yixiu's loudest shouts, occasionally mixed with Su Mo's wanton and proud laughter. Cang Hao said lightly: "Let's join in the fun."

Yue Xiao was silent for a while, feeling a little surprised and uneasy, but finally said nothing, respectfully: "Yes."

Let it go, turn around and retreat.

Cang Hao casually picked up the white jade plate with dragon blue and white pattern on the coffee table, and quietly looked at the nine plump and round balls on the plate with his deep eyes. Quietly glanced at Mo Li, whose face was already pale, and handed the whole plate of meatballs to him, but her cold and soft voice was an unquestionable order, "Mo Li, eat all of it, the past, the king will not blame the past. Otherwise, including Yue Xiao, Shu Tong, and even Shu He who didn't know, this king can only end them with death. This king will not allow anyone to know that, as a descendant of the Mo family, your body, There is such a fatal or even untouchable weakness."

"Master..." Mo Li's body was trembling, his lips were trembling, his expression was gone from the usual coldness, now he only saw a face full of panic and paleness.

Cang Hao looked at him with gentle eyes: "I don't want to use coercive means to force you on this matter, but since you can tell the cause and effect of the matter, Mo Li, after eating these, it shouldn't be difficult."

Mo Li lowered his eyes lightly and fell into a painful silence. If he had had ten courages on weekdays, he would never have dared to act so hesitantly in front of his master, but tonight...

Thinking back on those scenes that have been far away for a long time... Mo Li was suddenly stunned. Looking back now, he thought that he would still be in great pain. However, it was a long time after all, or after the narration just now, he broke free from the nightmare unconsciously entanglement.

"Mo Li." The master's clear voice rang softly in his ears, like the bright and warm sun at noon in winter, Mo Li trembled slightly, but suddenly felt surrounded by boundless warmth.

He raised his head and looked at Cang Hao, the admiration in his cold eyes could not be ignored, he said softly, "Yes, Mo Li obeyed."
