In the post station near Langfeng Town, it was noon, but the hall was still dark.
Langfeng is not considered a big place, so the post station is also very dilapidated, but at this time there are more than a dozen war horses wearing excellent harnesses in the stables of the post station. The innermost wing of the post station was held by layers of hands, and it was silent inside, with only the occasional sound of reading a sentence or two.
Just after noon, a young man rushed into the wing room in a hurry, he was the one who fell on the Yunqing chessboard yesterday.
"Aunt Huangfu, I'm back!"
He opened the door and came in, looking a little excited, and ran to the desk as soon as he entered.
Sitting in front of the table 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 could be seen that she had undergone meticulous maintenance. She was wearing a soft armor, her short hair reached her ears, and she was reading a book with frown, muttering something.
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw him rushing in, she scolded: "What aunt, there are only soldiers in the army, why are you here, uncle and nephew!"
Her eyebrows were thick, her eyes were like stars, and when she scolded her, she had a feeling of calmness and prestige.
"There are only a few of us here, and we can be called an army?" The young man was a little disdainful, but he immediately said after seeing his aunt's face, "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 or so people as an army, then these dozen or so people will also demand themselves according to the standards of an army, but if you regard them as an army A bunch of jugglers, and they'll never be an invincible army!"
Huangfu Chu's head drooped, but he recovered quickly: "General, have you heard me, I was almost caught by the lackeys of the Hunjun this time, but I also met a strange person because of it!"
General Huangfu frowned, and then skipped over the strange thing: "How did you almost get caught? Did you run to the town again?"
"This..." Huangfu was stuck for a long time, hesitating, "My martial arts was taught by General Zuo himself, so it's natural to deal with those officials..."
General Huangfu slapped the table and stood up, and the thick bamboo slips on the table jumped: "If you are good at martial arts, you can do whatever you want regardless of military orders? Also, that General Zuo is just a lackey. Will you teach you your skills sincerely?"
Huangfu was silent at first, not daring to speak anymore.
"The blood of our princes has been infiltrated by the Gaya family for thousands of years. They lured us into a life of licentiousness with beauties of jewels. They neither teach us how to read nor teach us how to manage the country. Isn't it just to treat us as Raising pigs and dogs, let people praise Hunjun for his generosity?" General Huangfu walked up to Huangfuchu, she was small and slender, but she had an indescribably intimidating aura, "We can't go on like this, we should join forces with other The blood of the princes, to restore the glory of the past!"
Huangfu Chu nodded vigorously, he said: "General, I know I was wrong."
General Huangfu's expression softened a little, and she said: "What did you want to say earlier?"
Huangfu let out a long breath, and then carefully talked about his experience: "I was chased by those lackeys, and ran into a dead end in a panic. I wanted to jump from a tree, but I accidentally fell down. .”
"Get to the point." General Huangfu said.
"I landed on a chessboard. When I fell, I glanced at it. The game was actually a well-behaved Moling chess game, which is quite different from what is said today!" Huangfu Chu said quickly.
General Huangfu frowned. Most of the literati now think that chess is a small way and don't bother to delve into it. But when Moling Jiange had a deep impression of this vast land, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were all loved by the world. At that time, Moling chess skills were also widely spread, and even today there are chess records handed down, so what Huangfu Chu said may be just a hermit who admired Moling chess, it is not a strange person.
When Huangfu saw her for the first time, he didn't think much of it, so he hurriedly continued: "General, the chess player saved me, and when he was parting, he told me 'If you are inconvenient, you can rest here for a while', she probably meant you. !"
The emperor has used decoctions to control the blood of these princes for many years. Their blood is full of poison, and life and death cannot be controlled by themselves.
In recent days, the blood of the princes has added new members, and the emperor's mausoleum has been expanded more and more frequently. This is usually a sign that the blood of the princes will be buried. General Huangfu's name is Liuxian, she is the eldest daughter of Huangfu's family, several brothers couldn't bear the poison, either became stupid or died young, she pretended to be crazy for more than forty years until this year. But seeing that Emperor Gaya is going to attack his stupid brothers again, how can she bear it!
A few days ago, Emperor Gaya went to the palace of the imperial mausoleum, and the eyeliner in the imperial capital was also slightly reduced. Huangfu Liuxian simply took people out of the imperial capital without doing anything, and ran directly to the east. The Cangjiang area was originally the fiefdom of her mother country, and the descendants of the earlier courtiers could not be found. 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 died suddenly one after another. Only then did Huangfu Liuxian feel that the shadow of the Emperor Gaya was still hanging over them all the time.
She still seemed quite calm: "What can you tell from such a sentence?"
Huangfu Chu hurriedly said: "I haven't finished! I hid outside the town all night, and I couldn't help but want to ask her in the morning, but at this moment, I found that the person went to Langfeng Mountain! She went to Fengjiang In the Boneyard where Hou once lived, a stone tablet was dug out from the ground, and a tablet was taken out from the bag! Guess who is on that tablet?"
At this time, Huangfu Liuxian felt a little strange, and she asked: "Could it be the Marquis of Fengjiang?"
"The tablet says He Qingqiu, Mo Ling's senior!" As soon as Huangfu Chu said this, the general's face changed suddenly.
"Is this strange person a disciple of Mo Ling?" Huangfu Liuxian asked.
She misunderstood, Yun Qing didn't know how to write on the tablet on the Beichuan mainland, if ordinary people pay homage to He Qingqiu who has a title, most of them have to write Fengjiang Marquis on the tablet. However, as a cultivator, Yun Qing was thinking about his sect, so he added the words of Mo Ling's ancestors in front, so that at first glance, it seemed that the person who set up the tablet was a disciple of Mo Ling.
"It's not just that!" Huangfu Chu said with his eyes shining, he rubbed the corner of his clothes and said, "The more mysterious thing is yet to come! She poured wine as a sacrifice, and when she sprinkled the wine, it was like talking with an old friend Generally, I heard her say..."
Huangfu coughed at the beginning, then lowered his voice and said: "Huangquan has been eating wind and drinking dew for more than 20 years, let's have a drink with sir after you have obtained the Dao."
The general felt that although the content of this story seemed to be made up, it should not be so true with Huangfuchu's level, she said: "It's been more than twenty years since I ate the wind and drank the dew... That guy, no, that hermit really said so ?”
"Yeah, she looks like a girl, definitely not fifteen years old! What are you talking about drinking with He Qingqiu, senior Mo Ling!" Huangfu Chu looked like he wanted to cut his head open for the general to see, "I said Everything is 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 someone behind her?"
"I think the general should go and have a look. There are so many people who died these days. Even if that person is just playing tricks, we can't wait to die here!" Huangfu Chu insisted, his face still had a youthful look. He is passionate and immature, but he also has the stability and tenacity of his youth. He is in the last years of changing the world.
Huangfu Liuxian looked at her nephew, and felt that an unreliable road was better than no road, and she finally made up her mind: "If you want to die, you have to die with the faint king. How about this? I'll go find that person, and you stay here..."
"Let me accompany you! General, you have never practiced martial arts, in case you are caught..."
"You stay here." Huangfu Liuxian looked at him fixedly, "I'm over forty years old, even if I die, it's not an early death. You are the future of the Huangfu family, so you can't take risks."
"I..." Huangfu Chu still wanted to argue.
"Military orders are like mountains!" Huangfu Liuxian dropped these four words, put on an ordinary coat and walked out the door.
She walked like flying, and soon left the station and walked towards the small town. Her complexion was dark, similar to those peasant women who worked in the fields every day. She wrapped a rag around her head to slightly conceal her appearance. The entrance of the town was not guarded at all, and the soldiers were having fun at night. If it wasn't for the order from the superior, where would they be free to work
Huangfu Liuxian sighed in his heart, "The country is about to perish", and then walked directly into the town.
She walked in along the alley that Huangfu had mentioned, and at the end of the alley, she saw a big mulberry tree with dense branches, but the leaves fell to the ground in the autumn wind. There is a stone platform under the tree, with nineteen vertical and horizontal ink lines drawn on the stone platform, it is a simple homemade chessboard.
Huangfu Liuxian slowed down, she saw the girl in front of the chessboard.
There is half a game of chess on the chessboard, the black pieces are aggressive, the white pieces are in the middle, and the black and white are fighting together. At first glance, it seems that the black pieces should have the upper hand. But in the blink of an eye, the chess situation changed, the white pieces started to work from the corner, and directly connected with the large white in the center, the black pieces were cut off at the middle, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
The girl seemed to be arguing with someone, and her voice was very calm: "Sir, if you don't let me win another game, I won't play again."
Xu Wutong smiled politely, and then dropped a piece on the edge of Yunqing's black chess dragon's neck: "If you can't afford to lose, you shouldn't play with me in the first place."
Dalong 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: "Things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Before I met Mozun, 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, and he had nothing to say for a while, so he just copied the chess record. After writing like 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 with me?"
Seeing that the girl was blind, Huangfu Liuxian thought she couldn't find him, and was planning to observe secretly for a while, but he didn't expect her to stop him. As soon as she heard Yun Qing's question, she immediately thought of that Marquis of Fengjiang. According to legend, when Emperor Wu asked him to leave the mountain, he only asked Emperor Wu a word.
"Would you like to play a game with me?"
Later, Emperor Wu persuaded people with the way of chess, and He Qingqiu came out of the mountain to establish the country for him. His great achievements cannot be erased no matter how many generations of Gaya emperors.
Now it's Huangfu Liuxian's turn to have the same problem, and she suddenly feels like "the wheel of history is rolling forward", the only thing that worries her is...
She has never learned Moling chess, what if she loses
Huangfu Liuxian didn't know that Yun Qing, who seemed to have a plan in mind, was also thinking about how to smooth things over in case of losing.
