"I am so wronged." Shen Zechuan said, "As long as something happens now, it must be done by me, Shen Lanzhou."

"Since you came out, there have been constant disturbances." Xiao Chiye said, "Xiao Fuzi, Guozijian, Pan Rugui, why are you inseparable from everything?"

Shen Zechuan laughed at himself and said, "Yeah, why are you inseparable from me? Don't you know the reason for this? Xiao Shizi picked me up in Chashi Tiankeng back then. already."

Xiao Chiye picked off the branches and leaves and said, "You wanted to steal your life from the dead back then. What is it like to live, you only know today."

Shen Zechuan's eyes were quiet, so quiet that Xiao Chiye realized that it was not real.

This man is very weird.

It was also at the banquet that day, as if every move had the meaning of "the past is gone". But on the snowy night five years ago, Xiao Chiye clearly remembered the look in his eyes when he bit him.

This is not real, it seems to be a bottomless abyss. The rushing hatred seems to have been smoothed out, making people have no idea where his bottom line is. The crowd humiliated him, but he bowed his head and smiled. Xiao Chiye's words of "impressiveness" were heartfelt words.

If a person were to be at this level, then the darkness under the stillness would make Xiao Chiye feel even more thrilling.

"What's it like to live." Shen Zechuan laughed again, "I was in Zhaosin Temple, and I felt it day and night. Now that I'm out, I feel that life is not easy. I cherish my life and am very afraid. But this crime requires I'll take care of it, and I'll pay for it. I only have one life, Shen Lanzhou, how can I get enough of it? I'm trying to please me in every possible way, not just that I hope that the second son and the nobles can raise their hand. Today, I want to explain, the second son, at least give me a reason. "

Hearing this, Xiao Chiye changed his mind. He has a keen sense of smell, and is always vaguely disturbed by Shen Zechuan's obedient cooperation. But Shen Zechuan doesn't eat hard or soft, no matter what he does, he can't ask the truth.

He didn't believe a word of Shen Zechuan's words, just like what Shen Zechuan said that night to play on the scene. Everyone is playing on the scene, so why be serious

But people can lie, but the trail of falling cannot. Qi Du has been mixed in the nine streams, and in all likelihood, he will be able to get something out of it. Shen Zechuan wanted to install people beside Li Jianheng, and he would never be a master. With him now, he can only be a bribe or servant.

There are problems inside and outside of Li Jianheng's matter. Xiao Chiye has slept less since he was chained to King Chu's boat.

"I'm playing with you, why did it turn into an interrogation?" Xiao Chiye changed the subject, blew the leaves, and sighed, "I heard that someone asked about you recently, and I was in the face of the King of Chu, so naturally I want to come. Just ask."

"You come and play with me once." Shen Zechuan said, "I'll sleep a night less."

"You can't say the same thing." Xiao Chiye said, "You have a difficult time, and I have a bad time. Let's turn the pages of the old things, and we can also clear up the past."

Shen Zechuan laughed and said, "Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in the six states of Zhongbo, and the second son wants to clear the past with me."

"The time is different." Xiao Chiye finally lost his branches, got up and said, "You are now benefited by the Hua family, but the Queen Mother has the green eyes, how can I dare to offend. The second son is often seen outside, so we can count as nodding. Is it your friend, Lan Zhou?"

Shen Zechuan just smiled and said, "Second Young Master is good to go."

Xiao Chiye mounted his horse, looked at him from above, and said, "When are you going to return the wrench to me, Lan Zhou? A broken wrench is not worth much, and it is reserved for me. If you don't return it to me, why is it like a treasure? ?"

"I'm wearing it on my body." Shen Zechuan said to Xiao Chiye, "It's just relying on Second Young Master's viciousness to ward off evil, why would you be willing to pay you back so easily?"

Xiao Chiye whipped his whip and said, "Don't you know? Your second son has a vicious spirit."

Shen Zechuan stood there and watched him leave, his smile faded, leaving an unpredictable cold silence. The setting sun slanted horizontally, and the orange glow reflected under his feet, spreading into the shadow of Xiao Chiye's disappearing back.

The night was full of stars, and Taifu Qi opened the newly drawn picture and showed it to Shen Zechuan.

"Although the East Palace in the past did not have the authority to order troops and horses on the border, it was familiar with the deployment of garrison troops in various places from the Ministry of War. This is Li Beida County."

"Back to Hongyan Mountain, west to Luoxia Pass, and east to Biansha Twelve." Shen Zechuan pointed at the Hongyan Mountains on the east side, "Autumn is about to enter, and the supply of Biansha cavalry pastures is insufficient, and there must be a critical Stealing things in the mutual market. Xiao Jiming is going to use his troops, why haven't he sent a document to Qidu for instructions these days?"

"Because the emperor is seriously ill." Mrs. Qi pondered, "This spring, Xiao Jiming also only passed on an essay. He must have eyeliner in Qidu. Since there is no essay to this day, he can only explain one thing. "

Shen Zechuan said in a low voice, "The emperor's life is about to end."

"Then who can sit firmly in Longting is the reason for Xiao Jiming to hold his ground." Mrs. Qi took out his pen, licked the ink, and circled around Libei, "The enthronement of the King of Chu is only good for the Xiao family, they The confrontation with the Hua family has been too long, and because of the Zhongbo incident, it has fallen to the disadvantage of being controlled by others, and now there is an opportunity to reverse it. Xiao Jiming will never miss this opportunity. "

"But Mr. also said that day." Shen Zechuan pointed at Xiedu, "The door of Xiedu is closed, and Xiao Chiye is Libei Proton. With the Queen Mother in his hand, what will Xiao Jiming do?"

"Since you mentioned this matter." Mrs. Qi lost his pen, "I have to tell you something else."

"Sir, please speak."

"As far as you are concerned, what kind of person is this Xiao Chiye?"

Shen Zechuan looked down at the map and said, "Sharp, smart, and don't like to follow steps."

"I think he is." Mrs. Qi rubbed her hair, seemingly unable to think of the right word for a while. After scratching his head, he lay on the small case and said mysteriously to Shen Zechuan, "I think he is an opportunity God gave to Li Bei, and he is a genius."

Shen Zechuan shook his pen and said, "Why did you say this, sir?"

Mrs. Qi immediately got under the case and dragged out his handwritten volume. Over the years, he felt old and forgetful, and wrote down many things on paper. He flipped a few pages with a "rush", then lay down on the case again, and pushed the volume to Shen Zechuan.

"This is the details that Ge Qingqing got from the Ministry of War. In the first year of Yongyi, eight years ago, Xiao Chiye was fourteen years old and followed Xiao Jiming to fight in the border sand. It was midsummer and Xiao Jiming encountered the border in the east of Hongyan. The three tribes of Sha were besieged, and their retreat was cut off. They were trapped in front of the Hongjiang River. It was less than three days before the reinforcements from the King of the North, and Xiao Jiming was imminent. However, the three cavalry of Biansha were flexible. The frontal attack is like an iron plate, but it is unable to respond sensitively to the back and forth chasing battle. If it drags on for a long time, it will only be Xiao Jiming's soldiers and horses who are tired."

Mrs. Qi took a few sips of wine.

"But on the third day and night, the sand on the frontier retreated like a tide. Because the food and grass they were heavily guarded by were burned, the fire spread from the center, disrupting the rear formation. Xiao Jiming took advantage of the situation to fight decisively and broke through overnight. The statement is terminated, and the follow-up details are all rumors that your master has spent a lot of time inquiring about. Guess how the food and grass under the heavy troops were burned? Ye Mo silently touched Gongdao from the water of the Hongjiang River and crawled in the foul-smelling mud ditch for half the night."

Master Qi touched his chin when he said this.

"For such a credit, Li Bei did not report it. Not only that, but when Xiao Chiye came to Yedu, he became an idle bastard - but can a bastard have such patience? Just think about it, under such circumstances , if he fails, the person who will die will be his eldest brother. However, he was able to lie dormant for two days, and just wait until Biansha's troops relax before setting off fire. During these two days, did he know that his eldest brother could be at any moment? Worrying about his life? Besides, the fire has not been put out, or the timing has not been fully grasped. One minute earlier, Biansha is strong, and one minute later, Libeishi is weak! He is stuck at that point. If there is no superhuman insight, he will How to do it."

Shen Zechuan seemed to be touched.

Mrs. Qi finally said: "And this kid is very wild. He only brought so many people to do this."

Master Qi stretched out two fingers and paused for a moment.

"Lan Zhou, I thought that Pan Rugui had transferred him to the Imperial Army to avoid troubles, but it was just a bad move. They thought that the Imperial Army was abolished, but what was the origin of the Imperial Army? Those were the military households who entered the Eight Cities with the emperor back then, the Eight Great Families. If they don't like it, they all rely on the emperor alone. But now the emperor doesn't want them anymore, these 20,000 people are the tools of no one, and if they really fall into the hands of a scoundrel, that's all, but it falls into the hands of Xiao Chiye... What reason does Xiao Jiming not dare to send troops to protect the King of Chu!"

I see!

What Shen Zechuan had been puzzled about before suddenly became clear.

He thinks that since Xiao Jiming left Xiao Chiye in Yedu, he should understand that this is a chess piece controlled by others. Either scrap or be cautious. If you are cautious, you shouldn't, and you shouldn't let Xiao Chiye and the King of Chu get so close, otherwise you'll be asking for trouble, and you have to wipe your ass in fear!

"The autumn cold in Qedu is fierce, we are weak and weak, it is better to avoid it." Qi Taifu was dry and said, "The queen mother has had a gap with Xi Guan because of the Guozijian incident, and she also has a relationship with the emperor. After a short period of time, in order to ensure that the power does not fall, the matter of the emperor’s heir is burning. If anything happened to the King of Chu recently, then the Xiao family will be empty. It seems that Xiao Chiye is eager to see you today, and he must have already started. But the queen mother is more alert. In order to make King Ning ascend the throne, she did not hesitate to kill the East Palace. Now, just in case, she will kill the King of Chu. Xiao Chiye wants to ensure the safety of the King of Chu. I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"Since the queen mother doesn't know how to use Xi Gu'an, Ji Lei is the only one left." Shen Zechuan's eyes were calm, "Jin Yiwei is as skilled as a cloud, and he starts cleanly."

"It's just a fight between dragons and tigers." Mrs. Qi said, "It's time for you to decide whether to pursue the King of Chu or follow the Queen Mother."

Shen Zechuan stretched out his hand and covered the map.
