Zuo Yuansun arrived in Yanzhou on the afternoon of the third day, Gong Sicheng and him had an old schoolmate friendship, unexpectedly meeting him here, he was delighted and surprised. The joy is that as soon as Zuo Yuansun arrives, Conan Xubu's strange formation outside the city of Yanzhou is about to be broken. I am surprised that what method Ling Wang used to invite Zuo Yuansun to serve in the front of the army.
Zuo Yuansun's robes are leisurely, his temples are slightly white, and he still has a sharp and calm demeanor. When he meets his old friends, he briefly reminisces about the old relationship. He only says that he is here for Conan Xu, and he seems to have no interest in other things. Never talk about it.
Qing Chen has been confined in the tent by Ye Tianling for the past few days, and out of boredom, he calculates the eighteen rounds of the Qimen Dunjia every day. Bagua Jiazi, magic tricks and ghost possession, three wonders and six appearances, and nine palaces and yin and yang. Although she has achieved a little bit, she always feels that she has more than enough energy in some places, so Zuo Yuansun just met Ye Tianling and others. So she invited her to the account to ask for advice carefully.
Zuo Yuansun was not in a hurry to answer her question, and asked: "I heard that the princess and Conan Xu had a contest for a while, and Conan Xu's array was destroyed, and he was almost defeated?"
Qing Chen thought of being at Hengliangdu that night, and still felt lucky. He shook his head and said, "It can only be said that I was so broken that it was Conanxu's zither. At that time, King Zhan was there to help. Now the formation outside Yanzhou City is still that of Nayang Dun. In the third round, Conanxu no longer used the zither to control the formation, and the formation was completed, and every step was clever, so I couldn't do anything."
"Conan Xu is proud of his talents. He has always boasted that his qin skills are unrivaled in the world. He uses the qin to defend the formation because he believes that no one can match him on the lyre. It is more important for the princess to defeat him here than to break his strange formation. It can disturb his mind." Zuo Yuansun drew a long sword casually, drew a nine palace map on the ground, and laid out Conan Xu's Yang Dun three rounds to defend Yanzhou.
Qing Chen watched intently, and asked casually, "Sir, you seem to be very familiar with Conan Xu?"
Zuo Yuansun lowered his eyes halfway, and the long sword in his hand drew a deep mark "shua". The person who is cited as a confidant is also the only enemy in this life who I hate to the bone."
Qing Chen was taken aback, and apologized, "Mister seems unwilling to mention this person, I took the liberty to ask more."
Zuo Yuansun smiled slowly, raised his eyes as the spring and autumn passed, the original deep hatred was lost in a moment of silence, like a river with thousands of sails, calm and calm: "Why did the princess say this, I and Conan Xu The grievances and grievances involve King Rui, and I usually don’t want to bring them up, because I’m afraid that someone will cause trouble, so it’s not impossible to tell the princess. Back then, I was an aide in King Rui’s mansion, and Conanxu was a young man who was famous all over Jiangzuo. People knew that I, the grandson of Zuoyuan, must know Conanxu He came to Yige to visit me. We talked about world affairs by candlelight, and our words were very speculative. It was too late to see the truth. Because I admired his talent, I recommended him to King Rui. King Rui used him very much, and he also Helping King Rui wholeheartedly, the host and guest had a great time. Unexpectedly, not long after that, he began to encourage King Rui to contend with the Emperor of Heaven. King Rui also had resentment against the Emperor of Heaven for some things, so he really planned big things. My persuasion was ineffective, but instead Therefore, he was separated from King Rui. What he planned for King Rui at the beginning could be regarded as flawless, and there was no guarantee that things would fail, but he never thought that everything was ready, and he would actually inform King Rui of treason on the eve before the incident. More than 400 family members were all questioned and imprisoned. Afterwards, the Emperor Nian pleaded with the Queen Mother and exiled King Rui to Hakka. However, Conanxu secretly bribed the officials who were escorting him, and put King Rui to death halfway. Now that he is helping Yu Cheng rebel, the concubine already knows about it. My Zuo Yuansun made the mistake of making such a friend in my whole life, and I really hate it."
Zuo Yuansun's story of grievances was unremarkable when he said it, and it sounded like nothing more than a few words of embarrassment. However, the old master is in trouble, the best friend is turned against him, he is in prison, his ambition is lost, and the past is like drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or not.
Qing Chen furrowed his brows lightly: "From what you said, this man is a capricious, disloyal and unrighteous villain, but when I listen to his piano, I have a kind of lofty mood and extraordinary momentum, which is puzzling. "
Zuo Yuansun said: "At the beginning, I also thought that the Qin heart is like this, and the human heart is natural. Who knows that after all, you know people, know the face, but don't know the heart. It can be seen that the things in this world that you think you know are often the most wrong, especially the human heart."
Qing Chen said: "If Conanxu can be captured alive, then I should ask him why he betrayed his friend and betrayed his master. Mr. Zuo, I have been thinking about the mystery of the three rounds of Yang Dun for a long time."
Zuo Yuansun nodded and smiled. When it came to marching troops, his eyes naturally showed the kind of self-confidence: "What Conanxu learned was the book of the earth in the Qimen Dunjia. He found a new way in the Jiugong Bagua, independent Opinions often make people feel troubled at the first glance, and they dare not act rashly. The more they deliberately try to figure out the changes in his formation, the more they will fall into it. In fact, no matter how he arranges, the ever-changing changes still remain the same." He used The long sword in his hand pointed to the Nine Palaces in front of him: "Houfeng Chuangqimen has 1,080 rounds, which are actually 18 live disks, that is, nine rounds of yang escape and nine rounds of yin escape. Nine rounds of yang escape are followed by six Yi reverses the three wonders, Yin escapes the nine bureaus and Liuyi follows the three wonders. No matter how talented Conan Xu is, he must match this number. In front of him, Jiaziwu is in the third house of Zhen, so it can be inferred that the other eight houses According to the distribution, this formation is the third round of Yang Dun, does the princess know why he uses this round?"
Qing Chen raised his eyes and asked, "Please enlighten me, sir."
Zuo Yuansun said: "Qimen is determined according to the cycle of 24 days, and it is formed by matching Bagua and Luoshu. According to the number of Luoshu, the number of Jukan in the winter solstice is one, so the winter solstice and Shangyuan will be a game of Yang Dun, and the winter solstice is Xiaohan. As for the great cold, the heaven, earth and human elements are one, two, three, and at this time it is the great cold and the upper element.”
"So Conan Xu used the three rounds of Yang Dun, then the Shangyuan will be exhausted next, how about the Zhongyuan?"
"Shangyuan is certain, if the number of rounds advances to the sixth house, the Zhongyuan is obtained. Yang escapes forward, Yin escapes reverse, great cold, spring equinox three nine six."
"Based on this, the Dahan Zhongyuan will be the ninth round of Yang Dun. What do you mean, Mr. Conanxu's next battle will be the ninth round of Yang Dun?"
Zuo Yuansun nodded slightly: "Just like flowers bloom and fall in four seasons, peach blossoms cannot bloom in winter, and winter plums cannot bloom in summer. Conan Xu cannot maintain the three rounds of Yang Dun in the middle of the great cold."
Qing Chen's eyes lit up: "In this way, Jiaziwu will move from Zhensangong to Lijiugong during the Great Cold and Zhongyuan, and the gap between the shifting palace and changing positions is an opportunity to break the formation."
Zuo Yuansun said: "That's exactly the case, but Conan Xu will not easily show his weakness to others. If my prediction is correct, he will pass through the Central Palace and send it to the Second Kun Palace to confuse the enemy."
According to what Zuo Yuansun just said, Qing Chen was calculating the eighteen rounds of Qimen Dunjia one by one. Suddenly, he felt enlightened, as if he had entered a wonderful world. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Mr. .”
Zuo Yuansun smiled deeply, and said calmly: "The closer a friend becomes an enemy, the more terrifying it is, and Conan Xu knows the same about me."
One session is three yuan, five days per yuan, and the next day is the Great Cold Zhongyuan. The army secretly deployed soldiers and horses, Zuo Yuansun and Gong Sicheng discussed in detail and decided to command, waiting for a good opportunity. Qing Chen naturally didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity, so he slipped out of the military tent while Ye Tianling was away.
Mingzhi was on duty as a guard, and when he saw her come out, he had a bitter look on his face: "Phoenix Lord, let His Highness know, this subordinate will definitely be punished."
Qing Chen looked at him sideways, smiled crookedly, and made a whispered gesture: "He won't come back for a while, even if I come back, I'm fine, can he deal with you by military law?"
Mingzhi smiled wryly and said: "Shenjiying is different from Mingyi Building. If His Highness says a word of military law, the subordinates will have to stand next to each other."
Qing Chen said with a smile: "You don't see it this time, he asked me." Turning around, he handed something to him: "I just learned this formation from Mr. Zuo, you have thought it through carefully , he will still rely on you when he marches and fights in the future, how can he punish you?"
Ming Zhi continued to smile wryly, Qing Chen Shi Shiran walked up the side of the barracks to a high place, not far away, and met Eleven who was staring at something on the snow in front of him, pointing at him slantingly with a long sword Standing in a trance.
Qing Chen quietly stepped forward to take a look, but there was a picture of gossip drawn on the ground, she asked with a smile: "What are you thinking, when did you become interested in the five elements and gossip?"
Eleven heard her footsteps and knew it was her, without looking back, he said, "I'm thinking about the gossip, one is yin and the other is yang, complementing each other is natural, and there is no disadvantage. Even if the solitary yang does not grow, and the solitary yin cannot thrive, there will be some deviations in the end, do you think this is the truth?"
Qing Chen knew the sound, hesitantly said: "Did they have another dispute? Are you caught in the middle?"
Eleven turned around and smiled at this time: "No, the fourth brother is still the fourth brother. Although the landslide does not change his face, the seventh brother is still the seventh brother. He is gentle and elegant, but the more he looks at him, the more uneasy he feels."
"You never said such things, what happened today?" Qing Chen walked slowly to his side.
"Tired." Eleven was still smiling, and Qing Ying flashed his long sword into its sheath, picked up the golden bow, and aimed at the arrow target a hundred steps away, "Although brothers are still brothers, they are not the same as before."
Eleven squinted slightly, looking up at the clear and cold sky. The sky is very good, the cloudless blue is connected with the snow in the vast mountains, and the eyes and hearts of the people are clean and clear. In just a few days, the wind, snow and severe cold seem to have lost their previous vigor. From Xishu to northern Xinjiang, winter is coming to an end, and occasionally I feel a warming breeze in the air. Such a breath.
The Sanchuan River rushing down passes through Nanliang Valley and flows far away to Yanzhou City. At this time, ice waves and snow waves cover the wide river surface, and dense forests with icicles hanging on both sides of the river stretch continuously, like a still painting of suet and white jade, but it makes people feel the snow on the branches melts and the ice The water flowing under the layers is rushing and slow, quietly breaking the ice and snow, and talking endlessly. The sunlight seems to be able to reflect the flowing water through the ice color, and the soft sound of the cane is faintly heard.
Qing Chen stood by the river, the sky was still cold, and a cloud of white mist suddenly enveloped her eyes, she turned her head and smiled: "Eleventh, let me ask you, they are all the sons of the emperor, what they think, Haven't you thought about it?"
Eleven seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then he showed a heroic smile. He raised his eyebrows at Qing Chen: "Only you can ask this kind of question, and only you can ask me to answer it. But all men have ambitions." Aspirations, not to mention being born as a prince, what he has heard and seen since he was a child is extraordinary, how can he not have such ambitions in his heart? There is nothing better than fame and wealth in the world. In the Dazheng Palace, facing the seat that thousands of people look up to, sometimes It's impossible not to think about those things, it's just that we do something and don't do it. We princes are the key between the royal family and the official family. The Su family is different from the Feng family and the Wei family. Indisputable. Mother and concubine are weak-tempered. They never wanted to crown the harem, but they have been loved by the emperor for more than 20 years. The twelve brothers are domineering and domineering. They have caused so many troubles in the sky, but the emperor has repeatedly indulged him. This is because The Su family is noble, with no party and selflessness. Therefore, in the eyes of my father, in the court, every word of the Su family has weight, and no one does not value the Su family."
"What about you?" Qing Chen asked: "You are with fourth brother all day long, won't the emperor also use you in the same way?"
Eleven thought for a while and smiled: "Since you ask that, I might as well tell you a secret. I have been pestering my fourth brother to play with me since I was a child, but my father ordered me to go."
A gust of wind blows towards the face, as if a spring day in the Dazheng Palace is expected to be chilly. Under the eaves of the dragon pillar, I stood in front of my father, who looked at the back of my fourth brother Xiu Ting in the distance, with a complicated expression: "Che'er, you might as well get closer to your fourth brother from now on."
Although he agreed, he felt a little bit reluctant in his heart, the fourth brother didn't talk much because of his boring temper. However, from then on, he always went to Yanxi Palace to look for his fourth brother, and Lianchi Palace, where few people went, also became a little angry because of the frequent walking of the mother and concubine.
The real respect for the fourth brother was the spring hunting that year, when the fourth brother shot and killed a white-fronted tiger alone without guards.
When he was hunting a tiger, he followed secretly, and suddenly the beast pounced on him. He was so frightened that he didn't know how to hide. The fourth brother threw himself to protect him, but his arm was bloody.
The fourth brother dismissed the injury, and shot three arrows in a row with his backhand. He didn't know whether the tiger was dead or alive, but he was only shocked by the fourth brother's archery skills.
Afterwards, the fourth brother was carried back to the camp. The fourth brother injured his arm and tore his robe in a mess, and was punished by his father, but when his father reprimanded them, his eyes were clearly full of admiration and pride.
The tiger was carried up by the guards, and the huge monster was so eye-catching among the many pheasants and roe deer, just like the indifferent expression of the fourth brother, who was proud and arrogant, and the youth's admiration sprouted from then on. And when the beast came to his body, the elder brother sacrificed himself to save him, the feeling of that moment seemed to remain in the deepest part of his heart, and the warmth of the fourth brother was only at this time.
However, the fourth brother was still unsmiling after all. When he went to Yanxi Palace the next day, the fourth brother was standing in the back hall wearing a slender white robe, holding a sword in his left hand, and his right hand was still hanging by his side, unable to move. When he turned around and saw him, he said indifferently: "Practice!" If you are not good at archery, don't follow me to avoid trouble."
Eleven lazily stretched his muscles and bones, raised his hand and drew the bow, and hit the arrow with one arrow. A pleasant smile flashed in his eyes. For so many years, whenever he bent his bow and shot an arrow, he always felt that his fourth brother was watching him.
Qing Chen was very surprised when he heard Eleven's words. The Emperor of Heaven clearly turned the entire Su family into a backer secretly, giving it to Concubine Lian and Ye Tianling. But there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart, and she couldn't help asking: "You and fourth brother are well, is it just because of the emperor's order?"
Eleven raised his hand and nodded at her: "Sige Brother is the only one left in your heart after you marry him, so think about everything for him first."
Qing Chen raised his phoenix eyes and smiled lightly, the words in his eyes were taken for granted.
Eleven said: "At first it was like that, but then I got close to fourth brother from the bottom of my heart. You are kind to fourth brother. He doesn't say it on the surface, but he remembers it in his heart. He will pay you ten, one hundred or even more I don’t know how many things my fourth brother has taught me. If there is anyone I can admire since childhood, he is the only one.” When he said this, seeing Qing Chen’s happy face, he couldn’t help laughing: “You are hopeless! "
Qing Chen calmly said, "Yes, you don't need to save me! Are you the only one allowed to worship Fourth Brother?"
Eleven smiled: "Of course I'm not the only one. In fact, even the seventh brother respects the fourth brother very much." He shot another arrow: "You said that the emperor reused me because I did not harm the country in everything. What's more, although some things are clear to you and me, they are all hidden from my father after all."
Qing Chen beckoned him to bring the bow and arrow. She tried to draw a bow and set an arrow, but the golden bow was hard, and she had no strength in her hand, so she struggled to draw it, "Let me tell you a secret too, what the fourth brother thinks in his heart, and what he is going to do, the emperor actually knows Before he left, he played chess with the emperor for a few days, and he played all these frankly."
This time, the 11th National Congress was taken aback: "How is it possible? This is not the fourth brother's habit of acting."
The pattern of the flying dragon on the golden bow reflected the sunlight, and Qing Chen smiled quietly: "I encouraged him to do this. Do you think the emperor really can't understand everything? The emperor is someone who has been there, and it is clear under the sun." It’s not wise to walk around at night in black. It’s useless for officials, the support of hundreds of officials, and military power at the border. There is only one person in the celestial dynasty who can decide the outcome of the matter, and that is the emperor. King Qi was deposed as the eldest son, but King Ming held a heavy army overnight. Their reputations were ruined because the emperor had disappointed them greatly. King Zhan had a queen in the middle palace, officials from the clan behind him, officials and people in the government and the public who were worthy, and he acted flawlessly, but he was too powerful. The emperor was old Yes, he loves his son, but he is also wary of all of you. At this time, the fourth brother wants to rectify the administration of officials, control his relatives, enrich the treasury, stabilize the border, and expand the territory. He wants to tell the emperor. Between father and son, everything can be said frankly. The fourth brother he sees in the eyes of the emperor is just like himself when he was young, not to mention that he doesn't even have a mother and concubine, so he makes the emperor feel at ease."
Hearing Qing Chen's clear words on Eleventh, he looked at her in a daze, and sighed: "Fourth Brother at least has you, and with you, even if you have nothing else, I don't regret it."
Qing Chen shook his head, his mind was far away: "I was given to him by the emperor, just like I was told you when I was a child, because he has nothing, because the emperor loves this son. But he can talk to me about some things, but he is a man. Many times you need a brother by your side, even if I have a heart for him, I can't replace your brother."
Eleven said: "That's right, just like today's words, I can tell you, but I won't tell fourth brother." Seeing that Qing Chen was still trying to pull the golden bow, he laughed at her and said: "You Save your energy."
Qing Chen said unconvinced: "Caiqian can bend a bow and shoot an arrow, why can't I?"
"What kind of bow did Caiqian use, and what kind of bow is mine?" Eleven continued to laugh.
Qing Chen glanced at him: "Caiqian? Be honest, who do you think Yin Caiqian is now?"
Eleven leaned to the side leisurely, with a clear smile: "She, she is a child, the kind of willful child that is rare among us people, but she will change one day, Tianjia Shizu, There is no place for children."
"So you think she's a novelty now?" Qing Chen set up an arrow and said eleventh: "That's right. Hey, you can't do this, draw the bow with both hands and arms in opposite directions at the same time, and end at the same time. You have to use inertia and arms The natural force, the arrow must be steady on the string." He corrected Qing Chen, but saw Ye Tianling walking towards this side.
Ye Tianling made a silent gesture to Eleven while walking, walked lightly to behind Qing Chen, and held her hand with his arms around her. Qing Chen was taken aback, Ye Tianling lowered his head and smiled at her, and easily helped her draw the golden bow fully, and raised his eyes to the distant archery target.
Qing Chen followed his line of sight, led by his arm, shot an arrow, hit the target, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is still amazing!" Unexpectedly, Ye Tianling looked at her with raised eyebrows, with a smile that was not a smile, she Suddenly awakened, he hurriedly said: "Walking around can circulate blood, which is good for health. I didn't know it when I came out."
Ye Tianling said expressionlessly: "If you don't know, you should be punished. You don't have to excuse him. I have ordered him not to work here anymore."
Qing Chen's bright eyes widened: "There is no such reason!"
Seeing her like this, Ye Tianling couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, can't I send him to protect Mr. Zuo?"
Qing Chen was speechless for a moment, Ye Tianling looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes: "You feel better, so it's okay to go out for a walk. But I heard that you threatened Mingzhi, saying that if he dared to let me know that you are sick every day If you sneak out, tell me about the private sword competition between him and Chang Zheng, is this really the case?"
Qing Chen muttered: "I'm so useless, I told you all this myself."
Eleven couldn't help laughing early, Qing Chen raised his eyebrows and glared at him: "Laugh! You can help me say something!"
Eleven waved his hand: "Help you run on the fourth brother. After thinking about it for a while, you will come to trouble me again, so I won't ask for trouble."
Qing Chen turned her head angrily, but when she saw the enemy soldiers outside Yanzhou city moving slowly, entering the central palace, a smile flickered in her eyes: "Conan Xu has changed his formation!" Pass down the military order and act accordingly.
