In the inn near Langfeng Town, it was noon, but it was still dark in the inn. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
Langfeng is not a big place, so the post station is also very dilapidated. However, at this time, there are more than a dozen war horses wearing fine harness in the stables of the post station. The innermost wing of the inn was held by layers of hands, and there was silence inside, except for the occasional sound of reading.
Just after noon, a young man rushed into the side room in a hurry. He was the man who fell on the Yunqing chessboard yesterday.
"Aunt Huangfu, I'm back!"
He opened the door and came in, looking a little excited. As soon as he entered the door, he ran to the desk.
Sitting in front of the case was a dark-skinned woman. She was about forty years old, but her skin was smooth, her shoulders were round, and her fingers were long and strong. It was obvious that she had been carefully cared for. She was wearing soft armor and had short hair that reached her ears. She was frowning and reading a book, mumbling something.
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw him rushing in, she scolded: "What aunt? There are only soldiers in the army, how can we have aunts and nephews!"
Her eyebrows were thick, her eyes were like stars, and she had a sense of calmness and authority when scolding.
"We only have a few people, can we become an army?" The young man was a little disdainful, but when he saw his aunt's face, he immediately said, "General, I found a strange person this time!"
General Huangfu put down the book in his hand and said sternly: "Ah Chu, if you regard these dozen people as an army, then these dozen people will also demand themselves according to the standards of an army. But if you regard them as A bunch of jugglers, they will never become an invincible army!"
Huangfuchu's head drooped, but he quickly recovered: "General, do you listen to me? This time I was almost caught by the Hunjun's lackeys, but I also met a strange person because of it!"
General Huangfu frowned and ignored the strange man's matter: "How did you almost get caught? Did you run into the town again?"
"This..." Huangfu was stuck for a long time and hesitated, "My martial arts skills were personally taught by General Zuo, so I can naturally deal with those group of officials..."
General Huangfu slapped the table and stood up. The thick bamboo slips on the table were all shocked: "You are good at martial arts, but you can ignore military orders and do whatever you want? Also, that General Zuo is just a lackey of a fool. Do you think he is really good at it?" Will I sincerely teach you my skills?"
Huangfu was as silent as a cicada at first and did not dare to speak anymore.
"The bloodline of our princes has been infiltrated by the Gaya family for thousands of years. They used jewels and beauties to lure us into a life of debauchery. They neither taught us literacy nor taught us how to govern the country, just to treat us as Raising pigs and dogs so that people can praise the generosity of a foolish emperor?" General Huangfu walked up to Huangfuchu. She was small and delicate, but had an indescribable aura. "We can't go on like this. We should unite with other people. The bloodline of the princes will return to its former glory!"
Huangfuchu nodded vigorously and said: "General, I know I was wrong. "Elegant * Wen * Yan * Qing * First * Hair'"
General Huangfu's expression softened slightly, and she said, "What did you have to say before?"
Huangfu let out a sigh of relief, and then cautiously spoke of his experience: "I was chased by those lackeys and ran into a dead end in a panic. I wanted to jump out of the tree, but unexpectedly I fell down. ."
"Tell me the important point." General Huangfu shouted.
"I landed on a chessboard. When I fell, I glanced at it. The game was actually the regular Mo Ling chess technique, which was quite different from what was taught today!" Huangfuchu said quickly.
General Huangfu frowned. Nowadays, most scholars think that chess is a minor thing and disdain to study it. However, when Moling Jiange was still deeply impressed by this vast land, chess, calligraphy and painting were all well-known in the world. At that time, Mo Ling's chess skills were also widely spread, and chess records have been handed down to this day. Therefore, what Huangfuchu said may be just a hermit who admired Mo Ling's chess skills, and he was not considered a strange person.
Huangfu didn't take her seriously when he first saw her, so he hurriedly continued: "General, the chess player saved me, and then told me before leaving, 'If you are inconvenienced, you can rest here for a while.' She was probably referring to you. !”
The emperor has been controlling the bloodlines of these princes with decoctions for many years. Their blood is full of poison, and they cannot control life or death at all.
In recent days, new members have been added to the bloodline of the princes, and the emperor's imperial mausoleum has been expanded more and more frequently. This is usually a sign that the bloodline of the princes will be buried. General Huangfu's name was Liuxian. She was the eldest daughter of the Huangfu family. Her brothers couldn't stand the poison and were either stupid or died young. She pretended to be crazy for more than forty years until this year. But seeing that Emperor Gaya was about to attack her stupid brothers again, how could she endure it!
A few days ago, Emperor Gaya went to the imperial mausoleum and the palace, and the number of informants in the imperial capital was slightly reduced. Huangfu Liuxian simply took people out of the imperial capital and ran directly to the east without doing anything. This Cangjiang area was originally a fiefdom of her mother country. It was not known whether the descendants of the earlier ministers could be found again. Huangfu Liuxian wandered in this area for a long time with such a small hope. But in recent days, some of the personal guards she brought had died suddenly. Only then did Huangfu Liuxian feel that the shadow of Emperor Gaya still shrouded them all the time.
She still seemed quite calm: "What can you tell from such a sentence?"
Huangfuchu said hurriedly: "I haven't finished yet! I hid outside the town all night. In the morning I couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to go find her and ask her. But then I found out that the person had gone to Langfeng Mountain! She went to Fengjiang At the burial ground where Hou once lived, a stone tablet was dug out of the ground, and a tablet was also taken out from the bag! Guess who is on that tablet?"
Huangfu Liuxian felt a little strange at this time, and she asked: "Could it be the Marquis of Fengjiang?"
"What is written on the tablet is the ancestor of Mo Ling, He Qingqiu!" As soon as Huangfuchu said this, the general's expression suddenly changed.
"Is this strange man a disciple of Mo Ling?" Huangfu Liuxian asked.
She had misunderstood. Yun Qing didn't know how to write the tablet on the Beichuan continent. If ordinary people were to worship someone with a title like He Qingqiu, they would probably have to write Marquis of Xinjiang on the tablet. But Yun Qing, as a cultivator, was thinking about his sect, so he added the words "Senior Mo Ling" in front of it, so that at first glance, it would seem that the person setting up the memorial tablet was a disciple of Mo Ling.
"It's not just that!" Huangfuchu said, his eyes dazzled, he rubbed the corner of his clothes and said, "The even more mysterious thing is yet to come! She poured wine as a sacrifice, and when she poured the wine, it was like talking to an old friend. Generally, I heard her say..."
Huangfu coughed for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "I have been drinking dew from Huangquan for more than 20 years. Let's have a drink with him after he attains the great path."
The general felt that although the content of this story seemed to be made up, it should not be so true at Huangfuchu's level. She said: "I have been dining on the wind and drinking dew for more than twenty years... That guy, no, that hermit really said that. ?”
"Yes, she looks like a doll, definitely less than fifteen years old! How about having a drink with Mo Ling's ancestor He Qingqiu!" Huangfuchu looked like he wanted to cut his head open and show it to the general, "I said They are all real, more real than real gold!”
He couldn't see Xu Wutong, so he naturally thought that Yun Qing was talking to the tombstone.
"Less than fifteen?" Huangfu Liuxian frowned, "Is there anyone behind her?"
"I think the general should go take a look. A lot of people have died these days. Even if that person is just pretending to be a ghost, we can't wait here to die!" Huangfu Chu insisted, with the traces of his youth still remaining on his face. He is passionate and immature, but he also has the stability and tenacity of youth. He is in his final years of changing the world.
Huangfu Liuxian looked at her nephew and felt that an unreliable road was better than no road at all. She finally made up her mind: "If you want to die, you have to die with Hunjun. Let's do this. I'll go find the man and you stay here..."
"Let me accompany you! General, you have never practiced martial arts. If you are seen..."
"You stay here." Huangfu Liuxian looked at him steadily, "I am over forty years old. Even if I die, it will not be considered an early death. You are the future of the Huangfu family, so you can't take risks."
"I..." Huangfuchu still wanted to argue.
"Military orders are like mountains!" Huangfu Liuxian said these four words, put on an ordinary coat and walked out.
She walked quickly and quickly left the inn and walked towards the small town. Her complexion was dark, similar to those of peasant women who worked in the fields every day. She casually wrapped a rag around her head to slightly cover her appearance. There was no one to guard the entrance of the town. The soldiers were having fun at night. If it wasn't for the orders from above, where would they have time to serve
Huangfu Liuxian sighed in his heart, "The country is about to perish", and then walked directly into the town.
She walked along the alley that Huangfu had mentioned at the beginning, and saw a big mulberry tree at the end of the alley. The branches were densely branched, but the leaves fell all over the ground in the autumn wind. There is a stone platform under the tree. Nineteen vertical and horizontal ink lines are drawn on the stone platform. It is a simple homemade chessboard.
Huangfu Liuxian slowed down and saw the girl in front of the chessboard.
There is half a game of chess on the chessboard. The black stone is aggressive and the white stone is in the middle. Black and white are fighting together. At first glance, the black stone should have the upper hand. But in the blink of an eye, the chess situation changed. The white piece started working from the corner and directly connected with the large white piece in the center. The black piece was cut off in the middle, and the army was defeated.
The girl seemed to be arguing with someone. Her voice was very calm: "Sir, if you don't let me win a game, I will never win again."
Xu Wutong smiled politely, and then placed a piece on the edge of Yunqing Black Dragon's neck: "If you can't afford to lose, you shouldn't have played with me in the first place."
The dragon was dismembered in an instant, and the tragic situation was exactly the same as the previous two days.
"Sir, when did you learn to be sarcastic..." Yun Qing was helpless. She took the chess record and began to write down today's game.
Xu Wutong still smiled: "Birds of a feather flock together, and people divide into groups. Before I met the Demon Lord, I was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others verbally."
As soon as Yun Qing saw him smiling, he thought of the saint of humanity, and the pressure suddenly increased. For a while, he had nothing to say, so he had to copy the chess records. After writing this for a while, she suddenly raised her head and said loudly to the woman not far away: "Would you like to play a game of chess with me?"
When Huangfu Liuxian saw that the girl was blind, he thought she couldn't detect him and was about to observe her secretly for a while, but he didn't expect that she actually called him. As soon as she heard Yun Qing's question, she immediately thought of the feudal lord. Legend has it that when Emperor Wu came to seek him out of the mountains, he only asked Emperor Wu one sentence.
"Would you like to play a game of chess with me?"
Later, Emperor Wu persuaded people with his chess skills, and He Qingqiu came out to rule the country for him. His great achievements could not be erased no matter how many generations of Gaya emperors.
Now it was Huangfu Liuxian's turn to face the same problem. She suddenly felt like "the wheels of history are rolling forward". The only thing that worried her was...
She has never learned Mo Ling chess, what if she loses
Huangfu Liuxian didn't know that Yun Qing, who seemed confident, was also thinking about how to smooth things over if he lost.
