    Xu Fengnian stood up and put down his pen. He was only halfway through writing the letter sent to Fengxiang Military Town. He said hello to Yang Shenxing and left the desk empty. Gongmen's spiritual practice was as profound as that of Li Gongde's deputy governor. Naturally,  He promised calmly.

    Xu Fengnian asked the spy leader of the Fushui Room to go back to the execution room first, and led the woman in the curtain hat to the study next to the second hall's custody room alone. When he gently closed the door in person, the woman took off her curtain hat, revealing a pretty face.  Known as a charming face, she can make a simple study room shine, and her beauty will indeed make people feel amazing. Only Jiang Ni, who is beautiful and beautiful, can completely overwhelm her in this Jubei City.  Her head.  When Xu Fengnian saw the lips of the Fushui Fang spy, what popped into his mind was not the more natural word Dongyue, but the relatively unknown Dongyue. This was the real reason why Xu Fengnian was so cautious, and even  It can be said that this is a long and unknown wait. Xu Fengnian has been waiting for the day when the truth will come out even before he has inherited the throne. Back then, he rushed to Beimang alone as His Royal Highness, but he seemed to be at the end of the preemptive stage.  Luozi, even if the first heart-stirring battle in Beimang has come to an end, the second battle is already in full swing. It can still only be regarded as the middle game of this Spring and Autumn chess game. Only when this woman does it can the real ending begin.

    Everyone knows that in southern Xinjiang, Nalan Youci is more like a vassal king than Zhao Bing, the king of Yanchi. He is the only surviving strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is often accompanied by five personal maids of national beauty with weird nicknames: Fengdu, Dongyue, Xishu,  Three corpses and carriages, a total of five crosses.

    She was Dongyue, one of Nalan You's loving maids. Facing this young king with a different surname, who had the most military power in the Liyang Dynasty, she was actually calm and composed. She smiled and said: "Since the prince is so nervous, he must have known about the relationship between my husband and me in the early years."  It¡¯s the plan of those deceased friends, it¡¯s better this way, it saves me the trouble of talking.¡±

    Xu Fengnian did not sit down, but just stood near the ordinary boxwood desk. He did not bring a chair for her. The two of them just stood facing each other. He said straight to the point: "The chess pieces selected by my master include Xu Huainan, the king of the old North Courtyard.  Everyone inside is dead now, who is left on your husband¡¯s side?¡±

    The maid Dongyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a guess?"

    Xu Fengnian narrowed her red phoenix eyes with a gloomy expression.

    She turned a blind eye to this and tutted: "Nowadays, it is widely said in the Central Plains that it took ten years to cultivate Song Yushu, a hundred years to cultivate Xu Fengnian, and a thousand years to cultivate Lu Dongxuan. Your prince, your current performance is somewhat unworthy of the name."

    In the game of chess of the Nine Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period, Hong Jia's run to the north was the curtain of the Spring and Autumn War. It was both the ending and the first move.  Four scholars from the Central Plains who belonged to different camps tacitly joined forces to lay out the plan: Huang Longshi, the top three scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Yishan from Tingchao Pavilion, Li Yishan from Southern Xinjiang, and Yuan Benxi from Liyang Emperor.  Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the northern grassland cavalry went south to knock the pass countless times, causing trouble in the Central Plains. The Central Plains scholars and common people fled and migrated. They all retreated from north to south and then retreated. Later generations habitually praised it as the southward crossing in clothes, such as the one in the late Yongxi year.  "Liu's family was fortunate to Shu" and the "manna crossing to the south" after the fall of the Dafeng Dynasty. The Jiang family of Chu, the most powerful country in the Nine Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, could be regarded as the orthodox Central Plains inheritor of Dafeng's mantle at that time, because of that  Seventy-eight out of ten of the more than 300 aristocratic families who crossed Changganlu to the south moved to the Guangling River area.  However, the Hong-Jia North Migration, which was divided into two great migrations and two routes, was completely opposite. It moved from south to north. The first group of North-migration survivors was quite reasonable, and the three kingdoms of East Vietnam, Later Song Dynasty and Later Sui Dynasty  Most of the survivors moved into the Liyang and Gyeonggi areas either actively or passively. However, about half a year later, a larger-scale exodus broke out.  Western Shu, the most complex country, plus a few survivors of the Northern Han and Wei Dynasties, dozens of torrents surged northward, and finally converged roughly at Liangyouliangzhou on Beiliang Road and Hezhou on Lianghuai Road, almost  Just before Xu Xiao was massacred and granted the title of king to Beiliang, he managed to escape into Longyao Prefecture, Gusai Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty of Beimang.

    Among them, there were many key players who were deeply hidden. One time was Xu Xiao, who was named King with a different surname by the old emperor Zhao Li of Liyang at that time. He suddenly threatened to kill all the scholars in Western Chu and let the corpses of scholars in Western Chu  Block the entrance to the Guangling River.  Because the Battle of West Barrier Wall was so brutal, both the losing side's great Chu Jiangshi and the winning side's Xu Xiao were full of resentment, so when Xu Xiao was at the height of his power, he openly said these words in the temple of Tai'an City  Afterwards, not only the government and the public were shaken, but also the survivors of Western Chu, whose mountains and rivers were shattered, became more and more desperate. Xu Laizi made it clear that he would not even give them the chance to be a peace dog. What else could he do besides running away?

    Another time, Zhao Li's son Zhao Bing, who was supposed to have conquered the territory of Western Chu by virtue of his military exploits, was later the King of Yanchi in southern Xinjiang. Not only did he fail to go to the world-famous Guangling Road, he even failed to connect with Jing, who was dominating the hinterland of the Central Plains.  An Dao and Qingzhou have not yet been made. Zhao Li originally only intended to let this "most widowed" son go to Huainan Dao. He probably wanted to allow Xu Xiao to conquer Liang Dao in the north when it was a foregone conclusion that Xu Xiao would be crowned king.  Zhao Bing and Li Yang who are good at fightingXu Xiao, the only vassal king with a different surname, becomes a neighbor.  But in the end, Zhao Bing, who had once thought of going outside the Liangliao Pass, went to the most unexpected place in Southern Xinjiang, a place with a vast territory but a savage miasma. According to unofficial history, Zhao Bing, who was murderous, insisted on  He chopped off a thousand-year-old cypress in the prince's residence with a knife, and vowed to kill all the young men of the Southern Tang Dynasty who were taller than a wheel to vent his anger.  Just as Zhao Bing was on his way south, the Southern Tang Dynasty, which had never been very tenacious in resistance in the late Spring and Autumn Period, actually rebelled and killed thousands of Gu Jiantang's remaining soldiers. Zhao Bing originally wanted to deliberately fight with the new Guangling King Zhao Yi on Guangling Road to find someone.  Having fun, I had to suddenly speed up my horse's hooves and head south quickly.

    The third time was that Xu Xiao was the first to be crowned king and the last to be granted vassal status.

    The key player that the world had never thought about in the previous two times, the Liyang Emperor's half-inch tongue Yuan Benxi looked on with cold eyes, because he was happy to see the success. The Zhao family he was loyal to wanted to truly bring peace to the family and repay the peace to the world. He must let those "hundred-year-olds"  The wealthy nobles who had "a country and a family for thousands of years" "died by moving a tree" wanted them to obediently move to Liyang Gyeonggi under the eyes of the emperor under the threats and intimidation of the two vassal kings that were very likely to come true.  Just like the imperial examination scholars, "all the heroes in the world will be admitted to my Zhao family". At the same time, by avoiding future troubles, it can not only prevent the remnants of various countries who have lost their foundation from raising armies again, but also ensure that when Li Yang goes north to conquer the grasslands in one go, he will have no worries in the south.  Unfortunately, something unexpected happened at this time. Xu Xiao's army marched westward very slowly. They enjoyed the scenery along the way and even stopped in Jizhou for a full month. When Yuan Benxi and the Liyang court realized that something was wrong, they asked them to take charge of the situation.  Cai Nan, the most powerful general under General Gu Jiantang of the Ministry of War, who was stationed in Jiangnan Road, led his troops all the way, trying to intercept the torrent of survivors that suddenly gathered in the northwest direction, forcing them to turn around and move eastward into Tai'an City.  Due to the small size of the cavalry and the extremely unfamiliar terrain of the northwest, Cai Nan's army was ultimately unable to stop the mighty Spring and Autumn Relics.

    At that time, the Jizhou Han family, who had been guarding the border for generations to resist the horseshoes of the prairie, did not move their troops that time, which led to the subsequent tragedy of annihilation. The old chief assistant of Liyang, who was Zhang Julu¡¯s mentor and father-in-law, although he was not the same as  The Han family in Jizhou does have personal grudges, but to say that it was because of the old chief minister that a large family that had been loyal and loyal for generations was destroyed. This not only overestimates the weight of the scholar in the court who is nominally a scholar, but also underestimates the old chief minister.  The first assistant is a scholar, but the truth is that the Liyang court did not dare to show his anger to the Beiliang frontier army who was far away from the emperor, so it could only attack the Jizhou Han family on the side of the bed. In addition,  Taking advantage of the situation, Yang Shenxing, who was also a hero of the Spring and Autumn Period, led troops to Jizhou, and Cai Nan stationed troops at the border of Beiliang Road, trying his best to reduce the room for retreat of the Beiliang cavalry.

    In this game of chess, four counselors sit in all directions in the Central Plains, serving as national players, and work together to make moves.

    In the end, the person who needed to pick up the chess pieces from the chessboard was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Beiliang who went to Beimang inexplicably.

    In the study room, there was only a faint smell of books, and a man and a woman fell into a long silence.

    Xu Fengnian suppressed the impetuousness in his heart and said as calmly as possible: "Is the Prince Consort of Dongyue, Wang Sui, Nalan Youci's chess piece?"

    The woman's eyes widened, and the look of astonishment on her face was not fake. She asked curiously: "Did Mr. Li not mention it to the prince?"

    Xu Fengnian was shocked in her heart, but said expressionlessly: "No."

    This maid of Nalan Youci was so smart and sharp. She immediately understood the mystery and suddenly realized: "It turns out that when Mr. Li passed away, he had already regretted it."

    She tilted her head, "Since Mr. Li changed his original intention before he died and didn't want you to take on this heavy burden, why are you so persistent, my lord?"

    Xu Fengnian said bluntly and solemnly: "There are dead people everywhere in Beiliang, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"

    She glanced at the young vassal king who was holding the hilt of the sword with her left hand, and raised her eyebrows with an eager expression, "The Beiliang sword has always been called heroic and heroic by the Central Plains military strategists. The implication is that it is the best sword in the world.  Imitate Xu Dao, Your Majesty, can you borrow your slave to have a look?"

    Xu Fengnian sneered: "Can a dead man lift a knife?"

    She pretended to be frightened and touched her chest, "This is not a gesture of asking for help. No wonder my husband said that outside the northwest wall"

    There was a sudden loud bang.

    This beautiful and fragrant young woman was leaning against the door, her smooth and white forehead being firmly held down by a hand.

    There was blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and they looked at each other. At first, she had a sarcastic smile on her lips, but when she looked into the eyes of the young lord, there was a cruelty that she tried her best to suppress.

    On the line between life and death, she had no reason to remember that her husband once joked that he was so angry that scholars would like to chop off the sword-holding arms of all warriors in the world, and warriors would also like to chop off the hands of all scholars holding books.

    Just when she thought Xu Fengnian would let that secretWhen she was about to kill her even though she was buried in old papers, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then she saw the young lord's face suddenly change, turning into a clean and warm smile. He didn't care.  After covering up a disgusted glance at herself, she released her palm, pushed her to a wall with a wave of her hand, and opened the door gently. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, turned around, and saw a picture that even made her feel  Stunning face.  After the woman of the same age crossed the threshold, she immediately looked around. After seeing herself, she quickly looked at him from head to head, and then put on a coquettish look like I didn't see anything, and carried a pot of tea.  The woman who came over said calmly to Xu Fengnian: "Haha, Miss, you said you have a guest here, so I will bring you a pot of tea."

    The corners of Xu Fengnian¡¯s mouth twitched.

    Jia Jiajia Nizi, who was watching in all directions and listening in all directions, must have added that the guest was a beautiful woman.

    Otherwise, with the temperament of Jiang Ni, you are too lazy to care about whether Xu Fengnian study is here or Emperor Bei Mang.

    Jiang Ni seemed to have just discovered the living man stuck at the base of the wall. He raised the warm teapot in his hand and asked, "Girl, are you thirsty? Do you want some tea?"

    The maid Dongyue, who had wiped away the blood, deliberately closed her collar and bit her lip, as if she was still frightened. She was so pitiful.

    Jiang Ni¡¯s eyes widened immediately, and he secretly stepped on the instep of King Beiliang, twisting it hard.

    Dongyue saw that the poor vassal king who had his back turned to him seemed to take a deep breath, and then put his hand on the head of the peerless beauty. Compared with the palm on his forehead, it was much gentler. He  He smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? This aunt who is good at looking good comes from southern Xinjiang. She is Nalan Youci's personal maid. She came here to discuss business with me. We just discussed it and I didn't understand the importance.  I accidentally hurt her.¡±

    The little clay figurine glanced at the pale woman. Although she was still doubtful, the word "aunt" was very important, which made her feel relieved.

    She threw the teapot to Xu Fengnian and turned to leave.

    Xu Fengnian was holding the kettle in one hand and preparing to close the door with the other. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ni suddenly turned around and looked straight at him before taking a few steps. She asked angrily: "It's a hot day and the windows are not open. Why are you closing the door?"

    Xu Fengnian retracted her hand angrily and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't close the door."

    She curled her lips, turned around again, and said to herself in a low voice: "If there is nothing wrong in my heart, what if I just close the door openly?"

    Xu Fengnian sighed, shook his head slightly, turned around and put the teapot on the table, took out two white porcelain teacups purchased from the market outside Jubei City, sat down and waved to the maid Dongyue: "  Sit down and drink tea.¡±

    She hesitated for a moment, then moved a chair and sat across the table from the young feudal king.

    The two people had a disagreement just now, as if it had never happened at all. At this moment, the atmosphere in the study was calm.

    All this is due to the woman who brought the tea.

    She has some complicated thoughts.

    ?????????????? Now in the Central Plains, there are countless outgoing ladies in Liyang Tai¡¯an City, which is known as the best in the world, and they almost eloped to Liangzhou together just to meet Xu Fengnian. This is really not a gossip.

    "Life lasts only a hundred years, and a hundred years of cultivation will lead to Xu Fengnian."

    This new Liang King can be regarded as a successful person by taking an eccentric approach.

    She originally didn¡¯t believe that the romantic men in the world could be better than her husband, but after seeing it with her own eyes today, although she felt that she was still not as good as her husband, it was not much worse.

    Xu Fengnian leaned forward and poured her a cup of tea.

    The woman's mind was as deep as the sea. The maid Dongyue, who had previously been confronting the young feudal king, straightened her expression, did not pick up the tea cup, and said slowly: "Before leaving, sir, I told you that the chess pieces are not as important as listening to them."  Mr. Chao Ge and Mr. Li only had a clear understanding of each other. The two of them had not had any contact since they parted ways on the way to Tai'an City. My husband also said that because Mr. Li had some frank words about each other at that time, he guessed that Li  The identity of the chess piece chosen by Mr. Li, based on Mr. Li's caution, must be only Xu Huainan. In fact, Xu Huainan was indeed the most unexpected, and he succeeded in becoming the King of Beiyuan in Beimang. My husband also said that with Xu Huainan's  With a contradictory personality, this chess piece may not be able to persist until the end. Of course, Xu Huainan will never reveal the secret, at most he will choose to give up."

    Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "When Xu Huainan saw me by the bank of weak water, he could have lived, but the old man still chose to die. Probably because he was not optimistic about Beiliang's ability to defeat Beimang. Rather than being ashamed to face the Central Plains, he would  I feel sorry for Empress Beimang, instead of being disappointed, it would be better to be out of sight, out of mind and do nothing."

    Maid Dongyue raised the tea cup and took a sip slowly.?? said softly: "My husband said that his chess pieces are not as important as Mr. Li's, and there are more of them, exactly ten. However, twenty years later, most of them have died, three died of illness, two committed suicide, and many died due to illness."  There are two more people who were rebellious and were eliminated by the dead soldiers placed by my husband. Therefore, this trip to Beiliang was carried out by me, Dongyue, for my husband. As the prince had guessed before, Wang Sui was the most important person for my husband.  One of the chess pieces with great intentions, but this former Dongyue Prince Consort, one of the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period, is exactly the same as Xu Huainan, both showing signs of indecision. Compared with the other chess piece that also appears in my name, Wang Sui  Selfishness is heavier and harder to control.¡±

    Xu Fengnian was silent in thought.

    She said solemnly: "The other person, please remember, your lord, this person's surname is Wang Du, and he once called himself the Wild Old Man of the Mountain. The old man himself did not make much achievements in the Southern Dynasties, but his family has cultivated a man who should not be underestimated.  That young man, Wang Jingchong, is now Beimang Dong Nabo! And the Wang family absolutely loves the Central Plains, there is no doubt about it."

    Xu Fengnian frowned. Wang Jingchong, the fierce border general of the Southern Dynasties, was no stranger to the Northern Liang frontier army. This man is now leading his direct troops to Gusai Prefecture, responsible for blocking the Yu Luan Saber Cavalry that is advancing alone!

    Xu Fengnian suddenly asked: "The third remaining chess piece?"

    She shook her head and said: "For this person, my husband said that it is not yet time to use it."

    Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment and laughed at himself: "Do you have to wait until I defeat Beimang?"

    She said calmly: "Sir, if you didn't tell me, of course I don't know."

    Xu Fengnian did not embarrass the maid and stopped asking for details. It was an unexpected surprise to know the identities of Wang Du and Wang Jingchong.

    She stood up without finishing the cup of tea, "My husband finally said that Huang Longshi finally selected Zhao Zhu, the prince of Yanchi, as his destined emperor, which is why the southern Xinjiang army was able to move northward so smoothly. My husband hopes that the prince can guard the northwest with peace of mind.  If I succeed in the future and help Zhao Zhu complete the feat of incorporating the vast grassland into the new Liyang territory for the first time in history, I will definitely not treat the prince and the Beiliang frontier troops badly."

    Xu Fengnian laughed it off.

    Before she left, she blinked her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and whispered: "After talking so much about 'my husband said', I actually want to make a digression myself Your Majesty, you are more handsome than I thought."  "

    Xu Fengnian not only did not look proud, but immediately said angrily toward the window: "Jia Jiajia, you are not allowed to tell Jiang Ni this!"

    The confused maid Dongyue could only vaguely hear a burst of hehehe coming from outside the window behind her.

    Xu Fengnian reached out and touched his forehead, sighing.

    Ruined.

    The maid Dongyue picked up the curtain hat again and gave a blessing to the young vassal prince who was about to get up to see him off. She persuaded him in a considerate and gentle voice: "Your Majesty, there is no need to see him off."

    Xu Fengnian glanced at the teapot and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about drinking tea next time, I'll be lucky if I don't drink arsenic."

    She left with a smile.

    She walked out of the mansion directly and left Jubei City on horseback under the escort of the Fushui Fang spies. She looked back at the towering city wall and couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry. She didn't know whether it was for her husband or for  who.

    In the city, Xu Fengnian walked alone to the military building of the feudal lord, sat back down at Yang Shenxing's seat, and continued writing letters.

    He suddenly stopped writing and looked outside the room.

    In this secret meeting, Nalan Youci¡¯s maid indeed told a lot of truths, all of which were Nalan Youci¡¯s words from the bottom of her heart, but she may not be telling the truth and one lie in order to make a big plan.

    And he, too, has to have some truth and some lies.

    But these are nothing.

    What makes Xu Fengnian sad is that the haggard counselor who has been imprisoned on the top floor of Tingchao Pavilion for twenty years, such an unparalleled national scholar who cares about the world, actually doesn't even care about the ownership of the world for a student like him who doesn't live up to expectations.

    That man, despite his original nature, did not tell Xu Fengnian in detail about the chess game before his death. That chess game was planned by Li Yishan and was the most proud of his life.  Nothing was left behind, no last words or words.

    Why did you regret it on your deathbed?

    Xu Fengnian couldn¡¯t understand.

    After he finished writing the letter and handed it to the torture chamber, he took a pot of green ant wine and went to the roof of the tallest building in Jubei City, where he sat cross-legged and looked to the south.

    It is said that Master¡¯s hometown in the south is a small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are many stone arch bridges.

    Xu Fengnian did not drink. He lay down, holding the wine bottle, looking at the sky, with tears streaming down his face.

    ¡°Probably only when I secretly think of Xu Xiao and Li Yishan.

    This guy seems to have it all?The young feudal lord, who seemed to have everything to lose, cautiously felt that he was a little wronged.
