Red Sandalwood Palace in Sunset City.

"What? Chu Xuanzhao ran away, how could this be?"

Empress Zhao stood up in disbelief in the face of the emperor's younger brother who came to visit her, and walked back and forth in front of him several times, Emperor Daqing looked at his sister with burning eyes, and the people behind the scenes sat silently in a place where the emperor could not see.

Emperor Qing showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "Sister, you are simply too godly, Chu Xianzhao escaped from marriage on the day of the wedding, and the news of Chu Xiaohua's father and son cannibalism has spread all over the world, he is now completely betrayed from the Yin country, although the widow does not know what you did in the Northern Regions, sister, but it can cause such a consequence, this is much more cost-effective than killing Chu Xianzhao, instead of arousing the anger of the people of the Yin country, it is better to use their disappointment to inspire the confidence of the princes, and it can be regarded as pulling out a thorn in the flesh." ”

Empress Zhao's face was a little strange, for the series of bizarre things she saw after using the power of the Eastern Emperor Zhong to kill thousands of miles to the Northern Regions, planning to kill Chu Xuande, she didn't reveal those things to anyone after she was brought back by Zhang Xuande, and she asked from Zhang Xuande's mouth, it turned out that his so-called going to the Northern Regions was to cut off the resurgence of the Great Qin luck, lest this once the only dynasty in the world grow stronger and suppress the luck of the world dynasties again, and the person he wanted to kill was the Great Qin princess who woke up from the mausoleum, but unfortunately because Chu Xuanzhao failed。

It wasn't until that moment that he understood what the mausoleum that Chu Xianzhao took him to was, it turned out to be the legendary Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, since he could take himself to the Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, he must have gone to that Great Qin Princess, which made her wonder what was the relationship between the two of them?

No matter what reason Chu Xianzhao went to find Princess Daqin, that woman's strength was simply higher than the sky, and the moment she opened her eyes, she hit herself hard, throwing her into the bottomless dark river of mercury, if she hadn't escaped by relying on the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, she would have been poisoned in the dark river a long time ago, and she happened to meet Zhang Xuande and was brought back.

Mercury is a hundred times more toxic to Wyverns than ordinary people, which is a secret that the Zhao royal family cannot be announced to outsiders, because this is one of their greatest weaknesses.

With dragon blood, she was naturally tortured by the mercury dark river, and the imperial doctors were helpless against this poison, and finally Zhang Xuande came forward to take her to the purple gold lotus pond on Longhu Mountain to soak for three days, during which he fed her the golden pill secret medicine every other hour to wash away the mercury toxicity in her body, and it can be regarded as picking up a life.

When the Queen Mother learned about the mercury poison in Queen Zhao, she almost went crazy, and took a group of elders in the family to visit Queen Zhao on the bed, and scolded her daughter in front of everyone, asking her to make it clear how the poison was in her body, but Queen Zhao didn't say a word and didn't say anything, anyway, you scold, the palace is too lazy to pay attention to you old people who sit and eat and wait for death

After I couldn't get off the stage, I was completely angry now.

When Empress Zhao returned to Hongtan Palace with a full of doubts and grievances, she was extremely angry with Ge Ping, and even thought about taking off his head, so that she took the Eastern Emperor Bell to kill Chu Xianzhao and almost killed herself.

Ge Ping's face was calm, and she told her that in a month at most, Chu Xuanzhao would leave the Yin Kingdom to send a dose of cool powder to the Daqing Dynasty.

If Chu Xianzhao was still in Yinguo a month later, he would not have to pick up his head, and he would have cut it off and sent it to her with his own hands to apologize for his crimes.

Empress Zhao looked at him with half-belief at that time, but when she thought of the miracles that Ge Ping showed her, it was difficult not to let her believe this man, thinking that if Chu Xianzhao was still happy in the Yin Kingdom, she would let Ge Ping's blood stain the lotus pond of the Red Sandalwood Palace with her own hands!

However, a month later, her emperor's younger brother personally came to visit her sister in Hongtan Palace, and by the way, he also brought the news of Chu Xuan's rebellion from Yinguo, which surprised her and at the same time subconsciously glanced at the side of the rosewood curtain, only to feel shocked in her heart, and her mouth was speechless.

Emperor Qing said in ecstasy: "Now Chu Xiaohua is a big loser, what bullshit is in the world, so many people can't stop Chu Xianzhao from summoning a person, so let him escape easily, if you kill him, this is called joy!"

Empress Zhao held her breath as she listened to her brother's words, not daring to say more.

After the two brothers and sisters had spoken for a while, she personally sent her brother away, and after dispersing all the maids and closing the door of the temple herself, she walked to the rosewood curtain with awe, as if the people behind the wooden curtain were sitting like gods.

She gently lifted the curtain and saw Ge Ping and his student sitting opposite each other, in front of him was a huge ivory chessboard, the master and apprentice were playing chess, and Empress Zhao did not make a sound to disturb them, just watching quietly.

Ge Ping's unreasonable move could completely convince Empress Zhao, and by mistake, Chu Xuanzhao completely betrayed the Yin Kingdom, which caused a psychological blow to the people of the entire Yin Country that was deeper than killing him.

There are colorful butterflies in the forest, occasionally flapping a few wings, and the wind will not be strong every day.

Empress Zhao suddenly remembered this poem she had read when she was a child, and at that time she thought that the person who wrote this poem was really whimsical, how could the breeze blowing on the wings of a butterfly cause a hurricane?

Until now, the butterfly that she had entered the Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum with Chu Xianzhao by mistake, had only inadvertently flapped her wings, and finally triggered a hurricane that swept through the Yin Kingdom.

According to the information they obtained, the dispute between Chu Xiaohua and Chu Xianzhao almost destroyed half of Lin'an City, and Chu Xiaohua was severely injured by Chu Xianzhao and is still unconscious, so the urgent need for Yinguo Tie to ride south in the near future is finally solved, all thanks to this man who is playing chess with his apprentice.

Ge Ping does not seem to be in the way of Go, but is very interested in this kind of chess, which is very popular among the common people, and when he lived in the Hongtan Palace, he spent most of his time playing chess with this apprentice, and rarely talked to Empress Zhao.

Empress Zhao found someone to carve a pair of red and black flags made of ivory for their master and apprentice to entertain, under them is the Chu River Han realm, can hear the roaring sound of the river, they continue to move the flag to start quickly, from time to time there is a snap, one by one chess pieces are thrown on the side of the golden tray, on the battlefield, it is a bloody corpse.

Ge Ping pressed his index finger on the "pawn", looked at his dead chess pieces that were far higher than his disciples, and said with a relaxed face: "The pawn is a good chess piece, loyal and comes and goes freely, you can go how you want, but unfortunately you can't jump up because of the slower road, and it is not a good chess piece compared to the rook and the gun, and you will often fall into a dilemma and become a real dead pawn in front of the horse." However, the pawn who crosses the river can not turn back, once the river is jammed like a car, as long as it is a pawn who crosses the river, the same can kill the other party's handsome and become the real king, maybe so many chess pieces, it will not be it that can really kill the "handsome", but the pawn still goes straight forward and rushes to kill the blood river, never looking back, this is the way of the pawn. ”

After that, he stuffed his last chess piece into Helian Yuannian's hand, looked at his bare chess surface, and suddenly lost interest, so he admitted defeat.

Helian Yuannian looked at the chess board silently, holding the chess piece that the teacher had just handed over, with the word "pawn" engraved on it.

Empress Zhao listened to Ge Ping's words, smiled, and said: "Presumably Mr. Ge Ping has heard the conversation between this palace and His Majesty just now, although Mr. Ge Ping's chess skills are mediocre, but the trick of forcing Chu Xuan to take away from the Yin Kingdom can only be done by people who are in the world, how should this palace thank Mr. Ge Ping for pulling out this thorn in the flesh for my Daqing?"

Ge Ping modestly replied: "Her Royal Highness the princess's affairs are my business, then the thorn in the flesh of Her Royal Highness the princess is naturally also my flesh thorn, and the decisive victory in the strategy is thousands of miles away, and soon the war between the northern region and the southern continent will begin, and I can only choose to wait and see, since the chess pieces have been put down, there is no such thing as regretting chess." ”

The smile on Empress Zhao's face was still warm, and she said, "Does Mr. Ge Ping regard this palace as a chess piece in your hand?"

"I am just a "pawn" in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess who can be discarded at any time, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is the "general", or you are the chess player, if a chess piece fails to do what he should do, he will be abandoned to death by the chess player, which is a catastrophe. ”

Empress Zhao covered her mouth and laughed, and exclaimed: "Even if this palace is a "general" on the chessboard, then Mr. Ge is also a "scholar" around this palace, how can this palace abandon the closest person around him?"

Ge Ping's tone was still relaxed: "If I fail, I will apologize for my sins with death."

It's not a difficult thing to do. ”

Empress Zhao's pair of charming phoenix eyes glanced at Ge Ping lightly, and said: "This palace is a very protective person, as long as it is the people around the palace, from female officials to slaves who sweep the floor, only this palace has the right to decide their life and death, if other people's dogs touch the people of this palace, this palace will let the master sleep with his own dog." ”

"Sleeping together?" Ge Ping didn't understand what she was saying.

"I can't wake up, that's the kind of sleep. ”

The two of them laughed together, and it was Empress Zhao who was the first to accept the smile and said: "But Chu Xuanzhao is still not dead, although this thorn in the flesh has been pulled out, it still exists, how can we guarantee that he will not be pierced to us again in the future?"

Ge Ping said: "I can only count that Chu Xianzhao will leave the Yin Kingdom, but I didn't expect to leave in such a way, it is also a bit unexpected for me, Her Royal Highness the princess don't worry, since Chu Xianzhao dares to make a move to betray the Yin Kingdom, then he must have a huge unwillingness and anger in his heart, and told the whole world that he will not accept Chu Xiaohua's orders, and may even become an enemy of the Yin Kingdom instead of Daqing, and Her Royal Highness the princess has one less opponent." ”

"Mr. said that if he leaves Yinguo, where should he go next?"

"I guess he will come to the Southern Continent, now there is no place for him in the Northern Regions, now he no longer needs Her Royal Highness the Princess to worry, just an abandoned son, now Daqing has temporarily left his eyes from the Yin Kingdom, falling on his own princes, Her Royal Highness the Princess should persuade His Majesty to suppress the power of the vassal states with iron and blood, and get the army in their hands to prepare for the upcoming war, so that you can have a chance to defeat the Yin Kingdom and dominate the world. ”

Ge Ping gently took the "will" on the chessboard and handed it to Empress Zhao, who took the "will" handed by the man and held it firmly in her palm.

"As the descendants of the "Dragon Empress" Zhao Yao and the "Dragon King" Zhao Gongming, the palace and His Majesty should have the ambition to dominate the world, and I also hope that Mr. Ge Ping can help the palace. ”

Empress Zhao played with this ivory chess piece, was silent for a while, and said, "This time, let Chu instantly summon the matter of leaving the Yin Kingdom...... It's good, but Hongu is still a little worried......"

"Oh?"

Empress Zhao said faintly: "A person like Chu Xianzhao is not a pawn, he is a real king, and the woman in the phoenix robe is also ...... The pawn who crosses the river is like a car, so what kind of thing can the king who crosses the river do?"

Ge Ping didn't give the answer she wanted, just looked down at the chessboard under him, silent.

If you don't want to be chosen by fate to choose your own move, you can only choose to become a chess player of destiny and play this incomparably grand chess that seems to reach the end of the world.

——

On the surface of the river, an extremely faint light pierced through the morning mist, creating a ripple of light and shadow on the surface of the river.

After the long ship left the black harbor and sailed along the Chengxu River, the big ship bypassed the river center belt with the fastest flowing water, which was considered to have left the Yin country, and then quietly passed through the Shaohanchong area, and there was a day and a half of the river journey to reach the land of Yanmang, and then take the carriage to Huangyungang and finally cross the sea to Nanlu.

The river is cold in the morning, giving people the feeling of sailing between the glaciers, the big ship slowly drifts along the wind direction on the river, after a summer thunder, the sky suddenly rains heavily, the sleeping sailor and the helmsman wake up, several people hurriedly put down the sails, stabilize the boat on the river to prevent being blown by the wind and rain, and wait patiently for the morning rainstorm to pass.

Ying Liyang looked at the rainstorm outside the cabin and slowly opened his eyes, without the laziness and sleepiness of the morning girl, the eyes reflecting the storm were so clear and bright, his eyes looked at everything around him like a knife, and he did not let go of any suspicious signs, and then looked at the sleeping boy wrapped in a woolen blanket on the bed, and his heart relaxed slightly.

The so-called god is full of sleep, full of anger and does not think about food, this princess of Daqin, who has lived in the world for three thousand years, has never shown any sleepiness in front of Chu Xianzhao, she can even sit on the roof of the inner room of the weeping eagle with her eyes open when Chu Zhaozhao is sleeping, and watch the stars in the sky until the rising sun covers up their brilliance, and she is still full of energy the next morning.

The bumps on the river did not make her feel any discomfort, as for after she saw the flying armor of Yingong, she did not dare to let Fusu become so eye-catching to go to the land of Nanlu, it was safer to take a boat, especially now that Chu Xianzhao was so seriously injured, there was everything he needed to recuperate and heal in the cabin.

I have to say that the man named Guo Yu not only forged the healing plaster he brought, but even helped Chu Xianzhao forge the passage documents, allowing them to evade several warships patrolling the sailors and successfully send them out of the Yin Kingdom.

It was only now that Ying Liyang was really relieved, thinking that he had finally left the territory of the Yin Kingdom, Chu Xiaohua had no ability to threaten the safety of her and the young man beside her for the time being, thinking of this, the corners of Ying Liyang's mouth flashed a trace of helplessness, she originally wanted to let the Great Qin Qi Luck attach to Chu Xianzhao's body, so that his strength could be raised to an energy level, which would be beneficial to him and harmless, and he would occupy the Yin Kingdom and the Great Qin Qi with one person.

The matter of luck is unpredictable, and even she can't say whether it is good or bad to inoculate Daqin's luck on the Yinguo Qi Fortune Pillar, but what Ying Liyang didn't expect is that at least let Daqin's luck be wrapped around the Yinguo Qi Pillar like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it also makes the so-called Yinhuang eager to cut it off quickly, and would rather kill his own son than cut off this lifeline.

Is Daqin really that annoying?

Obviously, they are the only ones who have unified this world, but now they have become street rats, and they have to flee to the southern continent with him to make him safe for the time being, where there are people who can protect him.

She gently gathered the woolen blanket on Chu Xianzhao's body, but this slight action made him open his eyes, and a hint of brilliance appeared in his dark purple eyes.

Chu Xianzhao asked with difficulty, "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've slept for two days and two nights since we got on the boat. ”

Chu Xianzhao coughed lightly twice as he listened to the sound of rain outside the window, his face was not as pale as before, but there was still no blood on his lips, but the qi in his body was still as thin as mist.

The place on his chest that was pierced by Emperor Yin's arrow now forms a terrible scar, but fortunately, Princess Daqin has taken care of her carefully these days, and indirectly used the qi machine to guide out the blood congestion in his body, boiling medicine every night to feed him to drink medicine, eating and drinking Lazar all need her help, Chu Xianzhao thought in a trance that he had returned to the days when he was sick and was taken care of by Su Changyan when he was a child.

It was very warm in the cabin, and a stove was placed under the bed, Ying Liyang squatted down and turned the charcoal with iron tongs, Chu Xianzhao suddenly said: "There is something I want to tell you, I don't seem to feel the king's breath in my body." ”

Ying Liyang's hand holding the coal trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word.

Once Wang Xi is extinguished, it means that it is difficult to wake him up in this life, and he no longer has the power of the king who shocked the world, and it also means that the magic taught to him by Ying Liyang will also fall silent, and his strength can be said to be more than seven out of ten compared to the past.

Chu Xianzhao squinted his eyes sideways, exhaled a breath of turbidity, closed his eyes and fell into contemplation, not wanting to pursue the stakes, blindly being distracted would only add trouble to himself.

This time he fought head-to-head with the emperor's father, and Chu Xianzhao could be said to have used all his kung fu, but the result was still defeated by him.

Chu Xuanzhao worked hard to shoot out the arrow that caused him not to be ordinarily damn, so that the Moxing Wang Xi in his body was directly entered by his father's Lian Zhen Wang Xi and conquered from head to toe, and from then on, he could no longer feel the existence of a little bit of Wang Xi, maybe it was gone, maybe it was silent, in short, there was no way to condense it now, and even the qi in the body was even more thinly scattered in the internal organs, and he could only rely on the qi in Princess Daqin's body to help him heal his injuries, and even leave a little bit in his body, and if he left too much, it would cause him trauma, but if it goes on like thisI don't know how long it will take to return to its heyday.

When their ship arrived at Huangyun Port, even if they set foot on the land of Yan Mang, compared to the last time they came to Yan Mang, the scene was extremely bleak.

He suddenly remembered that Princess Yan Mang and the Lotus County Lord, the last time they left Rest City seemed to be a year ago, and he didn't know that little princess was now

How's going, if she knows how miserable she has become now, maybe it can give her some comfort, isn't it, after all, he killed her mother with his own hands.

Although Yan Mang retains the original name of the country, his status is already a vassal state under the banner of the Yin State as well as Xilin, as far as he knows, his father sent a person named Zheng Zhilong to serve as Yan Mang's protector, and plans to let his brother be the prince of Yan Mang in two years.

Chu Xianzhao is not worried about that little princess Yan Mang, since she chooses to bow her head and be a man, then naturally no one will embarrass him, let her live well, and live an extremely nourishing life, it is good to be a mascot in the hearts of Yan Mang, in comparison, her current situation is much worse than her, even when Yan Mang was fighting, Chu Xianzhao also had someone to take care of his daily life, he didn't study these skills on how to survive, fortunately, there was Yingyang in front of him, from the time after he got on the boat, Princess Daqin almost stayed by his bedside, every time Chu Xianzhao woke up, he could see her sitting on the edge of the bed looking at himselfEither you are watching the scenery of the river from the railing of the deck.

The news from Yinguo's side was completely closed to Chu Xianzhao, and he might not have until Yan Mang's side had the opportunity to hear about the consequences of his defection abroad, on the one hand, he didn't want to go to Yan Mang to seek shelter from Chai Yanyu, and he didn't want to go to Shuyue to cause trouble for Tantai Tranquility.

He himself knows very well that as long as he doesn't die, his father will definitely not let him go, and if he takes the initiative to find them, maybe his father will be unfavorable to them.

Now that he is really a mountain and a river, when will he be able to step out of the doubtful road and see a spring.
