The night was deep.

Yi Shuihan sat alone in the small courtyard.

He couldn't understand that yesterday was still in the clouds, but today he fell to the bottom, and his life was so impermanent.

But today, everything is thanks to Chu Yi.

As soon as he thought of Chu Yi, Yi Shuihan hated him to the core, and he couldn't wait to peel the skin and cramp, eat meat and gnaw bones. If it weren't for him, how could he have landed on such a field?

The teacher was disappointed, and he was reduced to a woman to comfort him.

This is a fact that he cannot accept.

For Mu Qing, what he wants is that women worship and look up to him and respect him. As for affection, it was his reward for his pity on her.

He knew very well that if Mu Qing could go to Kyoto, he would definitely become a woman of some dignitary, and if he was lucky, he could enter the palace and become the emperor's woman.

When Mu Qing flies on the branches and becomes a phoenix, when he enters Kyoto in the future, he can obtain more resources through this secret relationship with Mu Qing, and his progress is just around the corner.

Women are like clothes, changing one and another, there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

If he loses this time and can't go to Kyoto, then wouldn't the investment in Mu Qing over the years be wasted.

Thinking of this, Yi Shui was unwilling. Since this is the case, it is better to harvest in advance, have her body first, and let her completely become a plaything in the palm of her own hand, in case of change.

What he can't get, others can't think of. A hint of coldness flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes, and the murderous intent in his heart suddenly rose, Chu Yi would die.

As for what Han Yu said to him before about treating his opponent, especially the sentence "Your understanding of Chu Yi is still relatively superficial." If one day you have to make a choice, you have to think about it yourself before you make a decision."

At this time, he had already been carried away by anger, lost his former rationality, like a beast on the verge of madness, and only killing was left in his mind.

Where did Mu Qing know these dirty thoughts in Yi Shuihan's heart, she only thought that the man in her heart must have been depressed when she suffered such a blow. She risked gossip to see him, regardless of her honor, but he coldly refused.

She only felt that Yi Shuihan was very strange tonight, and the strangeness made her feel scared.

The previous Yi Shuihan was empathetic and reasonable, thinking what she thought and doing what she wanted, so that her girl's heart fell into it without any warning, and she couldn't extricate herself.

But she knew that if there was any ambiguity with him at this time, it would greatly affect his future. Therefore, she will not make any excessive demands on him, she just hopes that it is enough to stand quietly beside him and watch him.

"Miss, this Yi Gongzi is too ruthless. You came to see him kindly, but you didn't appreciate it, and you made you look good. The personal maid is angry.

Mu Qing comforted himself: "Yi Gongzi lost twice, and he was hit hard, and he had some emotions, which is normal. Xiaoqing, from now on, you must not say anything bad about Yi Gongzi. ”

Xiaoqing said unhappily: "Miss, a big man, he can't resist such a blow, and he still expects him to do something for you in the future?" You also know the master's thoughts, if Yi Gongzi doesn't take the initiative to fight, you still want to get together with him, and there is no door." ”

This sentence speaks to the heaviest worry in Mu Yu's heart.

Mu Wansheng wanted to send him to Kyoto to become an important guarantee for his political career. Therefore, he would never let his daughter marry a poor scholar like Yi Shuihan, even if he was a protégé of Han Yu of Xiangshan Academy.

Mu Qing sighed softly a few times, did not speak, couldn't help the corners of his eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell.

For some reason, she has a feeling of being born like duckweed, and she doesn't know where her future path lies.

Her fate is all in the hands of her father.

She wanted to break free, but she was afraid. Originally, when she met Yi Shuihan, it was like a light in the darkness, giving her a direction to move forward.

But when I met today, I felt that this light seemed to be gradually dimming.

Women's hearts are the most sensitive. She had already sensed something wrong from Yi Shuihan's attitude and tone towards her, but she didn't want to think about it.

She kept telling herself that it wasn't like this at all, that it wasn't like that at all. However, the past is vivid, and the reality may not be as she wishes.

The next morning, because of the great change yesterday, a lot of soldiers were arranged around the martial arts training ground, and the flow of people entering the venue was strictly controlled.

In the stands, Yao Guangping sat on a mahogany chair, and the deans of the nine academies sat down in turn.

Han Yu's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be affected by yesterday's two losses. But obviously, today's atmosphere is a bit serious, and everyone present is waiting for Yao Guangping to speak.

Yao Guangping looked at a middle-aged man in a green shirt on the competition stage and nodded. The man in the green shirt comprehended, and his eyes swept over Yi Shuihan, Xu Bo and other nine people one by one.

"Today's test subject is the Omitted. According to the rules of the competition, the nine of you are divided into two groups, one for Jin and one for Chu. Each group elects a representative who is responsible for strategizing and facing the enemy. ”

Soon, the nine young people on the stage formed a four-person group headed by Yi Shuihan, who was Chu. On Xu Bo's side, there are five people headed by him, who are Jin.

After the preparations were done, the man in the green shirt took out the exam questions and handed them to Yi Shuihan and Xu Bo respectively.

The main content of the exam question is that in the Warring States Period, the Five Kingdoms were powerful. Among them, the lord of the Jin State rectified internal affairs, developed production, and the national strength of the Jin State became stronger and stronger, so he wanted to become the overlord of the five countries. The head of the Five Kingdoms, the State of Chu, was extremely opposed, so he planned to wage war against the Jin State to dispel its idea of hegemony.

In this context, the Chu-Jin War could not be avoided. Therefore, this strategic evaluation is based on the comprehensive evaluation of winning or losing the war and the performance of the process.

In other words, the top three players are selected by the winning side, and the losers will not be able to qualify for the top three even if they perform well.

Therefore, the questions of this year's examination also shocked everyone present.

Yi Shuihan looked at Xu Bo and said calmly: "Young Master Xu will teach you more." ”

Xu Bo said indifferently: "Young Master Yi, please give advice." ”

So, two groups of people each sat down at their desks, writing coping strategies. On the other hand, Xu Bo just sat there and looked at the exam questions carefully. The content of the exam questions is very concise, and there is not much information revealed, which can be summarized in three points:

First, the five countries are divided, led by the Chu State, and no one has the ability to eat the other;

the second is that the lord of the Jin State is obscure, rectifying the internal system, the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the ambition is also expanding;

The third is that the state of Chu is the head of the five kingdoms, and the national strength is strong, and it wants to teach the Jin state a lesson through war, so that it can defend it in peace.

But there was one tiny detail that Xu Bo noticed. That is, there was a private promise between the lord of the Jin State and the king of Chu: if there is a war, he will retreat.

Therefore, this war is not a full-scale war of annihilation or national protection, but a local provocation war, the purpose of which is to demonstrate the strength of all parties and achieve the effect of deterring the other four countries.

The ultimate purpose of war is clear, so the way of fighting war is also exquisite. Xu Bo summed it up as a "twelve-character policy": the least loss, the least time, and the greatest effect.

After figuring these things out, Xu Bo was already confident.

Let you wind in the southeast and northwest, and you must not relax in the green mountains.
