Chapter 485: A Parting Move
Shen Taisui laughed lowly and said, "If you want to embark on the road that belongs to the king, you must learn to face the situation of nine deaths, enjoy the process of nine deaths, and let the enemy be in fear of nine deaths. β
Chu Xianzhao smiled bitterly: "I have never been to Sunset City, although I am very curious, but I am even more afraid. β
Lu Kui obviously wanted to continue the long talk with Chu Xianzhao, but Chu Xianzhao was in some problems now, and even because he was confused about the future, he said that he would think about it carefully, and left after a long bow to the two.
Lu Wei looked at his back when he left, his eyes showed very complicated emotions, and after he left, he said slowly to Shen Taisui: "Now that Shen Bo is in the position of the governor of Guhe City, the merchants of the Northern Regions have brought a wide variety of commodities, not only wood and pig iron, but also many things we need will flow into Luoyang City unimpeded, if it weren't for Shen Bo sitting in Guhe City in the past few years, it would be difficult to carry out the next plan." β
Shen Taisui glanced at the still steaming pieces of mutton in the pot, and smiled: "It's been difficult for you in the past few years." β
"Shen Boyin resigned from the old man on the surface, but in fact he was secretly demoted by the emperor to Guhe City as the governor, and my father was assassinated by the queen mother because of the prime minister's injustice. Lu Wei said: "I think we all have the same hatred and enemy. β
"What do you think the little emperor's purpose is to let the princes enter the sunset?"
Lu Kui thought for a moment and said: " Qingguo only dragon cavalry can be called invincible, but now Yinguo has the capital to confront the dragon cavalry, an ironclad army that can appear in the sky, so that Daqing can not occupy an absolute advantage in the air, a hundred flying dragons and dragons to kill the scene of ten thousand cavalry army, will never appear in Yinguo iron cavalry again, so this time the little emperor let the princes enter Beijing The purpose is to get the princes' army, only to get the princes' army, can have a chance to fight against Chu Xiaohua, maybe one day, tens of thousands of cavalry from the northern region will pass through the land of Shuyue Tiannan Road and appear in the southern continent, for the Northern Expedition eighty years ago died in the Daqing dragon flame of the ancestors of the revenge, The outbreak of war is bound to come, but it will happen on the side of Nanlu, but even if the princes are willing to send troops to aid the Daqing royal family, they still can't save this dynasty on the verge of collapse, Nanlu will fall into the chaos of war, and no one can be spared. β
Shen Taisui rubbed his hands and said with emotion: "Cherish the present, no one dares to say that after five years, their eyes must be open." β
Chu Xianzhao found Ying Liyang and said, "When are you going to go to Heiyi City?"
Ying Liyang changed into a plain dress today, but she is still a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, even if she sees her at first glance, it still makes Chu Xianzhao's heart ripple, seeing Chu Xianzhao's eyes are stupid, the corners of her mouth are slightly hooked with a slender arc, pointing to the chessboard in front of her, and softly: "Accompany me to play a game of chess first." β
"Backgammon?" Chu Xianzhao said a little puzzled.
Ying Liyang was stunned,
He laughed: "In my opinion, Go is the most capable chess game that can deduce the real battlefield, you grew up in the palace, you won't even know how to play Go, right?"
Chu Xianzhao pulled the corners of his mouth a little embarrassed, as the prince of a country, he had to learn Lile riding piano and chess calligraphy and painting since he was a child, this game of Go should be the worst skill he has learned, and he rarely played chess with Emperor Yin, and he let him lose ten of his sons, but he still nodded and said, "Then play a few games." β
Ying Liyang handed him a box of sunspots, obviously seeing that he was not familiar with chess, although it was the black one who went first, but the one who went first would have a great advantage in the chess game, but the black chess player had to count a few more pieces for the person holding the white chess in the end, even so when the final calculation of the victory or defeat, the person who held the black was still taking a big advantage, Ying Liyang held his cheek with his right hand, and said softly: "The one who holds the black goes first." β
Chu Yizhao was a little panicked in his heart, but he still put on a posture of sitting upright, picked up a dark black flag, and gently placed it in the center of the chessboard.
Ying Liyang looked at the sunspot that had fallen Tianyuan, glanced at him without being salty, and didn't say anything.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the rules of Go knows that Go focuses on the layout of the corner first and then the edge. And then to the middle of the development, and the beginning of the game to fall Tianyuan's move is extremely reckless, undoubtedly the march will directly push the camp in the center of the battlefield, there is not even a sergeant guarding the camp in all directions, and even in some chess games, everyone looks at it is simply a deliberate move, so the chess game has reached the middle stage, ten of the ** is going to collapse, if you really want to start Tianyuan, it means that you are very confident in your chess strength, although ten thousand soldiers are not afraid.
It was obvious that Chu Zhaozhao was not the latter, and he saw Ying Liyang pick up a white jade chess piece and land on the edge of the chessboard in a decent manner.
Chu Xuanzhao was obviously a little unfamiliar with his skills when he first started to fall, but with his brilliant chess strength, he was still immersed in the chess game in the end, and the speed of his fall became faster and faster, with a sense of decisiveness to kill, and even the spirit of seeing death as home, like a general who would constantly order the army to attack the city, how aggressive.
Ying Liyang always had a smile on the corner of her mouth, in the face of Chu Xianzhao's jade-like attack, she seemed to be both rigid and soft but did not lose her wrists, it seemed that she was pressed by Chu Zhao's step by step, but in fact, every concession was preparing for the final finale.
Chu Xianzhao's bravery really couldn't hold up in the middle of the chess game, and his aggressive posture quickly turned into the end of a strong crossbow, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his head, and the chess strength of the two was too different after all, the more they reached the stage of black and white, the gap in strength and the unimaginable speed were widened, and the offensive that had just begun to destroy the withering and decaying was like a mud cow entering the sea, and the army in his hands was forced into a desperate situation step by step by Ying Liyang, and every time he fell, he had to think for a long time.
It wasn't until Ying Liyang finished the last step that Chu Xianzhao felt that his heart suddenly cooled, and he didn't think about it at all
When the last chess move to Yingliyang will fall there, it is simply a sword that pierces the clouds and slaughters the great dragon, so that he has to admit defeat.
After being silent for a long time, Chu Xianzhao had to admit defeat after throwing the sunspot in his hand into the chess box, but his eyes never moved off the chessboard, and he said softly: "Another game." β
Ying Liyang's head was tilted, and the corners of his mouth were tilted again, like a waterfall and green silk falling on his left shoulder, and he said, "I'm going to be separated from you for a while." β
Chu Xianzhao's shoulders trembled suddenly, and his voice was a little incredulous: "Separate...... Why?"
They had made a promise that only death could separate each other, and at this time, he heard Ying Liyang say that the two were going to separate, so he didn't react for a while.
After Ying Liyang saw his reaction, the smile on his face became more and more gentle, indicating that Chu Xianzhao really took the matter between the two of them to heart, and two shallow pear vortices appeared on his face, and he did not return to Chu Xianzhao immediately, giving him a little time to ease up, and after considering his words by the way, he said softly: " Daqin's road to recovery is so long, the strength of just the two of us is far from enough, we need an army and a fleet, Shen Sanqian will accompany me, and after you leave, we will set off, how the situation will change in the future, even I am not sure, but you and I will definitely have a strong army, and you need to go to the sunset to understand our enemy, the more you know, the better, you will get a great opportunity in that city, believe me, just as I believe in you. β
After Chu Xianzhao listened to Ying Liyang's words, his eyes drooped slightly, and his expression was dark.
Ying Liyang put his hands on his cheeks, blinked his eyes repeatedly, and looked at him like a little girl, and his calves under the skirt swayed.
Chu Xianzhao couldn't tell how he looked at the woman in front of him, if he was just infatuated with her appearance and figure, but he didn't have too much of the ** between men and women for her, although the two had the experience of living and dying together, but the two didn't know each other for a long time, and even the feelings were difficult to describe with unforgettable feelings, but he described her unconditionally, just as she did not hesitate to block the heavenly calamity curse for herself.
A Heavenly Tribulation Spell thrown from the hands of the immortal shot into Ying Liyang's chest like an arrow from the string, but it also invisibly penetrated Chu Xianzhao's body, tightly entangled the fate of the two of them in everything, death can be broken, death can be divided.
If he hadn't held the hilt of Tai'a's sword when he fell from the clouds, then he wouldn't have met Ying Liyang, because he would have died a long time ago.
It wasn't Tai Ah Jian who chose him, it was Ying Liyang who chose him.
He owes him one life, no, two.
And when the two crossed the sunrise sea by boat, Ying Liyang said something that made his heart yearn, she said that they always had to try, for the sake of their descendants to insist on doing the right thing, even if this matter seems wrong to everyone now, just for a thousand years later, the sun can sprinkle every inch of the world
Earth.
So Chu Xianzhao believed her, believed in her every word, and believed that the two of them would stand hand in hand on the wall against the ancient gods in the future, living and dying like a real king.
Now there are too few things he can do for her, but at least Luoyang City has given him a glimmer of hope, it is said that the spear of the rebel disappeared in the sunset city, and there is another divine soldier named Ten Directions Annihilation is also in the sunset city, which makes him see hope again, he not only wants to take the army back to Yinguo to fight to the death with Chu Xiaohua, but also to get the spear of the rebel to reverse the fate of the catastrophe for Yingli Yang, this idea has become a seed buried in his heart, and now he finally sees the time when the seed sprouts.
But now Ying Liyang can't go to the sunset with him, which makes him feel even more stunned, like a child abandoned on the side of the road, looking at the bustling flow of people, he just wants to cry.
There was silence between the two for a long time, Ying Liyang stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Chu Xianzhao's eyes, and said softly: "The emperor of Great Qin never sheds tears, only makes his enemies kneel and beg for mercy, I hope you can be stronger than him." β
Chu Xuanzhao finally raised his head and said softly: "Accompany me to play a game of chess, we don't have much time to get along." β
Ying Liyang stretched out his hand and stroked the green silk on his sideburns, nodded slightly, and said, "Why don't I hold black this time, and you hold white?"
The implication is that I attack, you defend.
Chu Xuanzhao said with a calm expression.
After the two exchanged chess boxes, Ying Liyang picked up a sunspot and gently dropped it to the center of the chessboard, just like in the previous game, Chu Xianzhao raised Tianyuan, and let Chu Xuanzhao attack.
This time, Chu Xianzhao changed the chess style of the previous game, no longer pressing inch by inch like the previous game, but wandering on the edge, imitating the vertical and horizontal hooks of Ying Liyang, and once again there was an extremely tragic entangled chess game, but this time it was Ying Liyang who led the thousands of troops to attack, and Chu Xianzhao could only become a ranger army in the corners, occupying the four corners of the chessboard one after another, trying to curb Ying Liyang's first-mover advantage.
This game of chess took much longer than the previous game, and every time Chu Xianzhao was silent for a long time before he fell, and Ying Liyang did not hesitate to suppress Bai Zi, making Chu Xianzhao suspect that she didn't look at the situation on the chessboard at all, but she was still so easy.
Until one hundred and fifty hands have passed, Chu Xianzhao has survived the middle stage with great difficulty, but Ying Liyang's advantage is still undiminished.
During the period, Ying Liyang had already put water several times, as long as Chu Xianzhao could see the heresy during the period, he would be able to turn the tables and save himself from a desperate situation, but he fell deeper and deeper, as if he didn't want this chess game to end, his purple eyes were red, and there were already precursors of going mad.
Chu Xianzhao was in a daze all the time, and the memories of the past were like watching flowers, he fell from the sky with the Tai'a sword in his hand, and inserted the dagger into Queen Yan Mang with one hand
's chest, and finally watched the rain of arrows fall on Hua Youyue's body, making him dazzled, not knowing which moment to seize.
In Chu Xuanzhao's eyes, the world seemed to blur, and the chessboard in front of him turned into a huge vortex, sucking his soul into it, leaving him in the midst of an extremely tragic battlefield.
He was stunned to find that the chess game in front of him had disappeared, and there were blazing flames in all directions, and the black and white cavalry sped through the fire bushes beside him, the halberds in their hands stuck into each other's chests, and the mouths let out a hideous roar, and the eardrums would burst at any moment in the shouting of killing.
When he looked up at the sky, he was also shocked, the wyverns gathered into a red wave like a swarm of locusts passing through, the fire on the battlefield was brought by them, and they were engaged by demonic iron knights, and the extremely long flow of qi flames rose from behind them, rushing and falling again and again.
When Chu Xuanzhao realized that he had gone mad, more memories that did not belong to him emerged from his mind, like a person in the dream realm dreaming again, walking towards a deeper dream, no matter what, he couldn't open his eyes, he tried to awaken his inner strength, trying to use Wang Xi to break through this misguided mirror, but the peak battle with Emperor Yin exhausted all the Wang Xi in his body, no matter how hard he tried, Wang Xi still did not respond to his call, at this time he was like sinking to the bottom of a very deep lake, longing for someone to reach out and grab him at this time, but he still couldn't wake up, letting his body sink into deeper darknessγ
But he laughed out loud in the darkness of unknown whereabouts, and since he couldn't get rid of it, he simply let it go and look at the deepest part of the darkness in his heart, what really existed?
Vaguely he heard something, and no matter how hard he tried to run towards the source, it grew fainter and fainter until it was completely gone.
In the deepest part of the darkness, only Chu Xianzhao was left alone.
Then he opened his eyes, and found that he saw a red-clothed and green-shirted sword fighting on the city wall, how shocking the picture of the sword qi rising and splitting the wall and slashing stones, and also saw countless dragons falling from the sky, and mad women in red robes and crowns laughing on the throne, constantly chanting the words of burning them, burning them, and seeing thousands of white-sailed ships moving forward on the boundless sea, and the word "Qin" was written on the flags without exception.
Finally, he saw a small courtyard with fine snow, a child with purple eyes like him reading aloud Confucian and Taoist classics, and a graceful young woman in a cloud robe kneeling on a bamboo mat, holding a pipa in her arms, inadvertently caressing the strings with her hands, looking up at the tiger-headed child, and he was grateful.
Chu Xianzhao burst into tears, and just wanted to reach out to touch this picture, but a soldier in black armor landed in front of him from the sky, blocking between him and the small courtyard, like a mad beast, raising the knife in his hand and rushing towards the mother and son in the courtyard.
Chu Xianzhao was stunned, and subconsciously touched the sword behind him, but he didn't have any weapons, he screamed and pounced on the black-armored soldier, pressing him to the ground, opening his mouth wide and biting his neck fiercely, splashing black blood as deep as ink.
I can't let you hurt them! I want to live! I want to go back to Yinguo with thousands of troops and horses! I will kill all the people who stand in my way!
The next moment, there was a clear sound of falling children in his ears, and Chu Xianzhao seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, looking at the graceful beauty in front of him in a trance.
She was holding her hand and landing the chess pieces in his hand on a certain position on the chessboard, Chu Xianzhao wiped her face, found that her face was full of tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Liyang, I saw it-"
A finger as tender as spring onion pressed against his lips, and between the two of them, Ying Liyang Tankou said lightly: "Don't tell me what you saw, and don't tell anyone, it will ruin our next layout." β
After Chu Xianzhao wiped away the tears on his face with both hands, he burst into a smile and said, "It's a good dream." β
Ying Liyang smiled when he heard this: "That's good." β
Chu Xianzhao stared at the chessboard tightly and immediately took a deep breath.
Her last chess piece that ended the game was simply a hand of genius, turning the white pieces on the entire chessboard into an indestructible army in an instant, and together with the seemingly idle and useless pawns in her eyes, she also became a fierce general standing with a sword raised at this time, instantly reversing the previous weakness, like a god stretching out his palm from the clouds to crush an army, a real move to put death and survive.
If you look from the direction of Yingqiyang, the black chess pieces on the chessboard quietly pose a "Qin"
Just as Chu Xianzhao saw the huge Qin characters on the banner in his hallucination.
On the boundless sea, countless Great Qin winds rose and headed north.
"No matter what you see, I will go to Heiyi City with Shen Sanqian, and when the time comes, we will meet in Luoyang City, the king breath on your body now is silent, don't fight with people casually, if you are really bullied by others, you will fight to the death, if you really can't fight, just wait for me to bring the army to find you, I will personally help you kill him, don't reveal your identity, if you are slaughtered, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to return to the country." β
Chu Xianzhao said: "Although I can't use Wang Xi, but I still have swordsmanship, I can only see the moves, if Wang Xi is here, I will directly enter the palace of Emperor Daqing and slaughter all those who stand in our way, which is much easier." β
The corners of Ying Liyang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't hold back a laugh and said, "Are you sure you can rush in and kill them all?"
"I've killed both the emperor and the empress, even the usurper, and I don't mind killing a few more. Chu Xuanzhao's expression didn't look like a joke at all.
"I agree, there is no need for a person who has killed one emperor to be afraid of another.
Ying Oak Yang Shen
Holding a cold sunspot like jade in his hand, he was facing the setting sun in the distance, and said: " Originally, I wanted to go to Sunset City with you, but now we have to divide the army into two ways, I will finally send you a big truth, from ancient times to the present, there are many people who have the identity of emperors in all dynasties, except for the person who opened up the territory at the beginning and paid homage to the prime minister can be called the real emperor, his descendants can only be called the successors, and the only thing that most of them can wait for is to be cut off by the new king, and the new king's throne is washed with the blood of the old king, this is the fate of the continuous change of dynasties, it is a fateful thingγ If you want to be an heir, pay attention to a vertical arch and rule, if you want to be an emperor, pay attention to a judgment of the situation, but this is not what I expect from you, because what we really need is not the emperor, but a more powerful person than the emperor. β
"A more powerful figure than the Emperor?"
Ying Liyang stuffed the sunspot into his hand, helped him clench his fist, looked into his eyes and said word by word: " The person who can really lead us to defeat the ancient gods can be the emperor, but the premise must be a hero, now there is your father's whistling mountain tiger in the northern region, and there is a large group of animal emperors and princes in the southern continent that we are not familiar with, if they fight, I am afraid that not only the world will be disrupted, but even the sky will be chaotic, if you and I can step out of a bloody road in the southern continent and conquer them all, it is not so difficult to deal with your father, because you are his son, and you win if you win, and you win if you lose. β
"But I want to win. β
Ying Liyang finally took a deep look at him and said, "I also hope that you can win, because if you win, we will win, and if you lose, we will also lose." β
"To be honest, I'm really worried about you and going to Black Empire City. β
Ying Liyang showed a gentle smile and said: "Don't worry, we need to be separated for a while, during this time I will solve the affairs of the army, and you go to see what the princes want to do when they go to Sunset, don't worry, I will die in Heiyi City, and you don't die in Sunset City, I will appear when you need me the most, don't die." β
Chu Xianzhao knew what she was thinking, and sighed in her heart, Ying Liyang showed a gentle smile that reassured him, and said, "Don't worry, we won't die, we will all live." β
As the twilight faded and the city was already lit up, the two of them were lying on the railing, looking down at the huge ship outside the city.
Ying Liyang stretched out his hand and smoothed the white hair on Chu Xianzhao's forehead, looking at him in the distance, only to feel that his mood gradually settled down,
