"Heart-suppressing grass?"

Inside the Pharmacist's Mansion, Jiang Fuli put down the scroll in his hand, raised his almond eyes, and looked back and forth at Gu Mang, who was still carrying a fish basket and drenched all over his body: "Who did you ask for? Mo Xi or Murong Lian?"

"It's Murong..." Chu Yi hadn't uttered the words yet. Thinking of the other party's request to him before he lost consciousness, Gu Mang thought that a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since he nodded, he must do what he promised, so Changed his words, "I won't tell you."

Jiang Fuli narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know what that is?"

"I know. A cure."

"It can cure diseases, but it can also harm people." Jiang Fuli said, "Heart-suppressing grass is a half-demon and half-mortal flower seed. Although it has the effect of paralyzing and analgesic, its toxicity should not be underestimated. There are mountains of piles in the warehouse, but they are not valuable items, so it doesn't matter if I give them to you, but..."

Gu Mang raised his hand and said, "I promise not to poison it."

Jiang Fuli sneered: "Poisoning? Now I'm in Chonghua, if you dare to do anything under my nose, I respect you as a man."

Gu Mang asked curiously, "Then what are you doing?"

"However, if you ask me about the mind-suppressing grass, I will tell your master Xi Hejun."

Gu Mang thought about it, and thought that Murong Chuyi was in a coma at the moment, and his life was at stake. He would just explain this section to Murong Chuyi clearly after he saved the person.

So he fully agreed, and followed Jiang Fuli to the warehouse to get the herbal medicine. After Jiang Fuli had fried it, he immediately returned to the depths of Peach Blossom Lake with the medicine pot in his arms, and found Murong Chuyi who was still lying there.

Murong Chuyi looked very weak, there was no blood on his handsome face, his skin was cold to the touch.Gu Mang picked him up halfway, unscrewed the spout, and poured the concoction into Murong Chuyi's mouth bit by bit.

This process was not easy. Although Murong Chuyi was unconscious, he would cough from time to time, drank half of the concoction and choked on half, and muttered something while frowning.

Gu Mang heard him calling his sister for a while, and chanting Yue Chenqing's name for a while, his expression was always in pain.

Although Gu Mang didn't have any deep friendship with him, he was soft-hearted after all, so he patted his head and coaxed him.

"elder sister……"

Gu Mang said, "Sister is here, be good, be good."

Murong Chuyi said: "Chen Qing..."

Gu Mang said, "Yes, yes, I am that little white bird, fourth uncle, be good, come on, drink up all the medicine left."

In the end, Murong Chuyi's pale lips trembled, as if trapped in some kind of nightmare, he grabbed Gu Mang's sleeves, his eyes rolled uneasily under his closed eyelids, and his long eyelashes resembled black swallowtails. Butterfly wings trembled.

"no, do not want……"

"what?"

"You..." Murong Chuyi's entire hand was convulsed, and the tendons on the back of his slender hand were tense, "You bastard...how could you...you..."

Gu Mang was startled, and touched his nose aggrievedly: "I'm obviously helping you, why are you still swearing so fiercely?"

Murong Chuyi was still sleepy in a nightmare, his knuckles were getting paler and paler, and suddenly he let out a low and hoarse moan, as if he had suffered pain and humiliation in his dream, and the tips of his closed eyes were a little red.

"Evil...beast..."

Gu Mang looked at him for a while, then sighed: "Who are you scolding? Your sister or the little white bird?"

But Murong Chuyi naturally wouldn't answer him, and Gu Mang stayed with him for a while longer before his babbling and nonsense gradually subsided, and after about an hour of burning incense, Murong Chuyi stopped talking.The medicinal juice of the heart-suppressing grass began to take effect, his expression gradually calmed down, and his frowning brows finally loosened little by little.

Gu Mang half-hugged and half-dragged him, placed him on a dry place on the stone platform, laid him flat, made him lie down more comfortably, and then sat beside him bored, resting his chin and saying, "Oh, the grass is all there. When you finish eating, when will you open your eyes?"

"..."

After waiting for a while, Murong Chuyi still closed his eyes tightly, but he did not wake up.

Gu Mang sighed, resting his chin, looking back and forth at Murong Chuyi's appearance.

This Murong Chuyi is indeed a rare beauty. She is elegant and handsome, with a radiant spirit. Gu Mang doesn't read much, so he can't describe why. Immortal spirit, that temperament is really like the dragon girl in the painting book, with wide sleeves and snow falling in the world, in a word, beautiful.

Add two more words, it's eye-catching.

So Gu Mang looked at him patiently with his chin resting for half an hour.

After half an hour, no matter how much he watched, he couldn't watch anymore. Gu Mang turned his head and asked Fandou: "Do we really want to keep guarding him like this? I don't mind...but the princess is still at home waiting for me to give it to him." cooking fish."

Fandou: "Wow, woof!"

Gu Mang nodded and said: "You're right, the dragon girl is an outsider and the princess is an insider, so let's catch the fish first, anyway, the grass has already been fed to him, if he can't wake up, it's not our fault. "

"Wang Wang!"

So Gu Mang continued to go down to the pond to catch fish.

The three fat-headed grass carp caught by Murong Chuyi before fell down due to a water drill, and all the three fat-headed grass carp caught disappeared. The next luck was not particularly good. After searching around for a long time, only a few thorny grass carp were caught. Chai thin little fish.

Seeing the dusk sinking in the west and the smoke rising from the kitchen, Gu Mang couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Unexpectedly, after working for a long time, he got nothing. He stood in the lake leaning on a net, and the setting sun floated on the sparkling water like the rouge washed by the sky.

"It shouldn't be." Gu Mang sighed, "Doesn't it all say in the book that good intentions are rewarded? Why did I save Xiaolongnv with good intentions, but no fat fish came to my door to repay my kindness?"

Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a cold and jade-like knocking voice behind him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Mang jumped in shock, and took two steps back while turning his head: "Are you finally awake? Why did you come and go without a trace?"

It was Murong Chuyi who came stepping on the water and Lingbo, his expression had returned to normal, he didn't look like he was weak and passed out just now.

Gu Mang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This heart-sedating grass is quite effective. It only took half a day, and you are already well."

Murong Chuyi let out a soft snort, and skimmed onto the shore lightly. His phoenix eyes swept across Gu Mang's body. Seeing that Gu Mang was still wearing wet clothes, he lifted his fingertips slightly, and the golden light floated.

When the light dimmed, Gu Mang touched his dry clothes in surprise and joy, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, you are really a kind person."

Murong Chuyi didn't talk nonsense to him, but asked: "Are you here today to catch fish?"

"Yeah, my princess is sick and he can't eat, so I just want to catch some fresh fatty fish and cook him a dish." Gu Mang rubbed his nose, "The whole family needs to help each other."

Murong Chuyi frowned slightly: "Princess?...Princess Mengze?"

Gu Mang waved his hands again and again: "It's Princess Mo Xi."

"…………"

It seems that this ferocious beast who lost his mind and memory didn't mean to be mean, and called himself "Little Dragon Girl". After all, even Mo Xi, an iron-blooded god of war, was nicknamed "Princess" by him.

Murong Chuyi looked away from Gu Mang expressionlessly, stood by the lakeside with his hands behind his back facing the wind, and said, "Come ashore."

Gu Mang went ashore with his net bag in his hands without knowing why.

Murong Chuyi asked: "What kind of fish do you want?"

Gu Mang still didn't understand why, but answered very honestly: "Mandarin fish."

"A few."

"The more the better."

"Too much waste." Murong Chuyi said, "I think the five are almost enough."

"?" Gu Mang asked curiously, "What are you going to do? Help me catch fish?"

The word "打" is really a bit embarrassing to Murong Chuyi, an idiotic immortal. You must know that this is a master craftsman who even Yue Juntian can't predict the depth of his skills.

I saw Murong Chuyi flicking his wide sleeves, a silver arrow pierced through the air, the arrow traveled very fast, and disappeared without a trace in the peach blossom pond, and when it hit the water again and returned to the shore, the silver arrow shot out. The arrow has stretched to ten feet long, and five fresh and plump mandarin fishes are strung on it.

Gu Mang opened his blue glazed eyes slightly, he looked at the fish, then turned his head to look at Murong Chuyi, expressing his inner reverence in a simple and rough word for a while.

"Hold……"

It's no wonder that he forced out all the dirty words that Gu Shuai loved to say. It's really... how dare he work hard for a long time, how could it be better for Murong Chuyi to flick his sleeves and snap his fingers?

With a slight movement of Murong Chuyi's fingertips, all the fish entered the bamboo basket behind Gu Mang, while the silver spiritual arrow disappeared.Murong Chuyi said: "If there is anything else you want, let's talk about it together."

Gu Mang shook his head, staring at the handsome man in white clothes facing the wind in the golden afterglow.

He is a straightforward person, whatever he thinks in his heart, he will say what he says, so he said: "No wonder the little white bird admires you so much."

Murong Chuyi frowned slightly: "White Bird?"

"It's Yue... Yue... Yue Nasha." Gu Mang hugged his head in distress, "Oh, I can't remember his name again."

"Yue Chenqing?"

"That's right! That's him!" Gu Mang clapped his hands and laughed, "No wonder he likes to run after you, brother, you are so amazing! You whoosh, whoosh, how to catch fish, can you teach me too?"

"..." Murong Chuyi sighed lightly, and said, "Spread your hands."

Gu Mang did so, and Murong Chuyi conjured up a handful of silver needles out of nowhere and put them in Gu Mang's palm.Gu Mang asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Listen to the sound arrow." Murong Chuyi said, "I gave you fifty pieces. The size of this arrow can be changed at will, and you can follow orders. Is it enough for you to catch fish?"

Gu Mang was overjoyed, and thanked again and again: "Enough is enough! You are so rich! And you are a good person!" After speaking, he carefully put the silver needle into the Qiankun pouch, and then carefully put the Qiankun pouch into the skirt of his clothes, It's like a puppy trying to hide its bones.

After hiding, he said again: "Thank you, good man!"

"..." Murong Chuyi is not used to people thinking that he is a good person. All along, the people of Chonghua think that he is not humane, just a Chonghua idiot who is almost fanatically pursuing the way of refining weapons.Because of this, his expression was a little stiff and unnatural, he was silent for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "What you have seen today, don't tell anyone, especially Yue Chenqing, don't tell him."

Gu Mang nodded, but said again: "It's easy to say, but there is one person who can't hide it."

"Who?"

"Mo Xi." Gu Mang said, "Pharmacist Jiang said that Heart-Suppressing Grass can also be used as poison, so I asked him about this herbal medicine, and he would definitely tell Mo Xi."

Murong Chuyi thought for a moment and said: "It's okay. I will explain it to Mr. Xihe first, and you don't have to worry about this matter. You just have to remember not to tell the third person."

"Then what if Mo Xi asks me first?"

"You can answer truthfully."

"Okay." Gu Mang agreed, and after agreeing, he couldn't help asking: "Is your body okay now?"

"It's okay, Peach Blossom Lake was suppressed enough in the past, but today it happened by accident."

"Oh... but you have this problem... Little White Bird and they don't know?"

Murong Chuyi said indifferently: "I know some, but not much. In fact, it's not a big problem, but Yue Chenqing has been asking the bottom line, and I don't want to talk to him, so please keep it a secret."

There are too many loopholes in this statement, and the reason for keeping it secret is too far-fetched, only a fool would believe it.

But there is not much difference between Gu Mang and a fool, so Gu Mang believed it, and sincerely raised his hands with Murong Chuyi to swear that he would never tell this matter.

After bidding farewell to Murong Chuyi and returning to the residence, it was already dark.

Standing at the door, Li Wei stretched his neck and looked around. When he saw him coming back with a twilight draped over his shoulders, he couldn't help feeling happy and angry, and hurried forward and said, "What's the matter with you? Did you go fishing or raise fish? You came back so late! "

Gu Mang took off the back basket and showed it to him, and said with a smile, "I caught five fat fish. If I have time, I can use the kitchen."

Living in Xihe Mansion for so long, Gu Mang has never handled fish, but he remembers how to do it.In the fragments he has recalled, he has cooked many fish dishes.So Gu Mang thought about his memory of cooking ingredients, and quickly picked out a few dishes and put them in food boxes.

After leaving the kitchen door, seeing Li Wei waiting outside, Gu Mang asked, "Is he still in the study?"

"Yeah, I went into the study right away, and I haven't eaten anything."

Gu Mang held the food box and said, "Then look at me. I'm the best at coaxing Junior Brother."

Li Weixi said: "Oh..."

Oh, after a while, Gu Mang felt that the address in his mouth was wrong, and rebelled again, so he said a stern "Huh?"But Gu Mang had already carried the food box to the end of the corridor.

The lamp flowers flowed silently, the copper table lamp oil accumulated in the pool, and the candlelight streamed on Mo Xi's cold, hard-lined, angular side face.

Although the war in the northern border has subsided now, it is not a long-term matter after all. The two-year truce between Liao Kingdom and Chonghua was a last resort. The two powers are fighting to weaken each other. Now each of them can see the intentions of other countries around them. , if it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that the fisherman will gain benefits in vain.

So the truce is the truce. In fact, the two countries are still competing with each other. The comparison is whoever recovers first and whoever recovers has more vitality.Your Majesty has been paying attention to the actions of the Liao Kingdom all year. The report in Mo Xi's hand was collected by Chonghua's dark guards. The content involves many monsters and species in the Liao Kingdom. The content is informative and quite bloody. , Mo Xi frowned.

While reading the detailed annotations of a kind of flower left by the demon seed "Flower of Eight Sufferings and Everlasting Hate", suddenly the shadow of the lamp flickered, Gu Mang pushed the door open and walked straight to his desk.

"Junior Brother Mo, it's time to eat."

"..." Mo Xi raised his eyes and said, "Just let it go. Besides, don't call me that. How many times have you been scolded? Why don't you have a long memory?"

Gu Mang didn't listen to him.

You can't reason too much with him when dealing with this person, it's best to confront him head-on.Gu Mang pretended to be deaf and dumb, opened the food box, and took out the dishes inside one by one.

Mo Xi frowned and said, "What nonsense?"

Gu Mang said: "I don't mess around, you read your book, I eat my meal, and I give you half of it."

"...you want to have dinner with me?"

Gu Mang blinked: "Didn't you use it together?"

"..."

In the hall before, although the two had eaten at the same table, it was different from eating dishes from the same food box after all.

Gu Mang imitated the tone in his memory, and said, "Oh, I can't help it. There's nothing to eat in the kitchen, so I can only rub you. You can do good deeds, Mr. Xihe. You have a lot of adults, so share half with me. OK?"

Seeing that Mo Xi was quite speechless, he tried his best to add fire.

"And today's dishes are all made by me, so you are not afraid that I will poison you in them? So I will eat first as a respect, and I will give you a taste of poison, so that you can eat happily and rest assured."

Mo Xi stared at him and said, "What are you talking about?"

But let him go.

So Gu Mang happily placed the prepared four dishes, one soup and one simple meal on Mo Xi's spotless red sandalwood desk.

The dishes are still hot and smelling fragrant. Although they are just home-cooked stir-fries, not as delicate as the chef's cooking, they smell good and the color is refreshing and attractive.

A plate of crystal meat, the meat slices are thinly sliced, the elbow skin on the edge is soft and soft, and it is served with Zhenjiang vinegar with grated ginger.A plate of stir-fried green lettuce with lotus root, tender water chestnut and green lettuce are smooth and delicious, and the vegetable juice is fresh and tender.Another plate of braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, the crispy and tender tips of the bamboo shoots are wrapped in thick and fragrant sauce.The soup is simple. I just cooked a bowl of bamboo fungus and mushroom soup, with a few green leaves that are about to drip, and a few slices of fresh ham. It is a beautiful soup that nourishes the stomach.

And what came out of the last cage food box was a plate of sweet and sour mandarin fish.The fish is served with finely chopped shredded ginger to avoid the fishy smell. After steaming, the boiling oil is poured, and the fragrance bursts out, so that the edges of the fish skin are crispy and yellow, and the fish fat is tender. At this time, it is poured with thick syrupy vinegar sauce Cover the body of the fish, put it down with chopsticks, the white and clear fish meat and curdled fat tremble slightly, wrapped in sweet and sour sauce...

"It's delicious." Gu Mang shook his chopsticks with great joy, not showing any face to Mo Xi, who was reading with downcast eyes, "All the meat from the fish's belly is mine."

After eating like this for a while, seeing that he really wanted to use his chopsticks to clean up the least thorny and tenderest part of the belly of the vinegar fish, Mo Xi finally couldn't help closing the bamboo slips, and raised his hand to pinch Gu. Mang's wrist.

Gu Mang's cheeks puffed up: "Why?"

Mo Xi stared at him, unceremoniously snatched his chopsticks from his hand, took the bowl of his own rice next to him, and put the piece of fish back into his bowl.

Although Gu Mang secretly smiled inwardly, he had a look of exasperation on his face: "Why did you rob me?!"

Mo Xi returned the chopsticks to him angrily, and picked up his own pair: "How about it? Do I wait for you to finish eating, and I will gnaw your bones?"

When he said this, he took a bite of the fish meat. His white teeth and gnawing ruthless movements coupled with the ambiguous words "gnaw your bones", inexplicably made Gu Mang who was facing the table shudder. .

Break your bones, swallow your blood...

Such a forcible posture and gaze caused Gu Mang's brain to throb with pain, and some memories of limbs intertwined flashed vaguely, as if there were strings clasped around his forehead, as if he was eager to tell Gu Mang——

Yes.Once upon a time, it was this seemingly indifferent man who, with his white teeth and cold teeth like a wild beast, took his bones and blood as his own, and ate him to the stomach...

He looked at Mo Xi's handsome face, from the high nose bridge to the thin and sexy lips, he was caught off guard, and his heart skipped a beat twice.

This kind of perception made Gu Mang faintly feel that something was wrong in his heart. It was hot and uneasy, like a handful of fire resurgent from the ashes of the firewood, and like a cluster of tender new buds, which were blown by the spring breeze in April. Xu slowly uncovered.

He suddenly recalled the memory of the night of the weak crown. At that time, Mo Xi's lips pressed against his. It was such a soft touch, but it made him tremble in his memory...

But Mo Xi didn't notice Gu Mang's strange gaze, he concentrated on eating the fish, his pale lower lip was stained with some sauce, and he licked it inadvertently.

Just at this moment, Gu Mang's heart was burning hot, and he felt an inexplicable impulse and primitive desire - he actually wanted to go up to him, and lightly touch Mo Xi's cheek and lips.

He didn't even understand what this desire meant, he just instinctively felt that there was a fire in his chest, and only by doing so could he calm down his impetuousness.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, like a young animal probing for danger, he carefully explored, and quietly approached Mo Xi, who didn't know it...

The author has something to say:

Gu Mangmang: Master, what are you looking for? ? ?

Mo Xi: The weak crown gift you gave me before.

Gu Mangmang: What do you want that for?

Mo Xi: Show it to yourself, I believe you can learn by yourself.
