Shaking his head almost invisibly, Sima Rui's lips moved slightly before he had time to say anything, but he heard a voice like a warbler's cry: "Father, in fact, the starling brother is not preparing this birthday gift!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew it in their hearts.

The ninth princess has always valued these princes the most, and it seems that she is going to relieve the siege for King Yue, but I don't know what the birthday gift prepared by the ninth princess on behalf of King Yue will be?

However, Sima Chun's expression became as deep as frost, and his eyes flashed with horror and anger as he looked at Qingyun.

Sima Yue looked up at Qingyun, his face was filled with emotion and self-blame, and he let Jiu'er worry again.

Sima Rui and Sima Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Jiu'er came forward, and the eighth brother would be safe, but they were also curious about what Jiu'er was talking about.

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip of wine, Li Feixue's expression was calm, and she knew that the Ninth Princess would not sit idly by and watch King Yue being bullied and ignore it.

Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows, and his heart was surging with vinegar.

"Oh?" Emperor Huiwen glanced at Sima Chun, are you so eager to control the dragon for nine days? It's a pity you're not a real dragon! blink of an eye to look at his beloved daughter, his face was already full of love: "Then Jiu'er tell me, what kind of birthday gift is the eighth child preparing?" ”

Clear eyes swept over the people who looked at him with curiosity, and the most stubborn fell on Sima Yue, nodding at him without a trace, Qingyun then turned his eyes and looked at Emperor Huiwen and said meaningfully: "My father didn't know, when I was in Jiuyuan County, the starling once told his son, his father's birthday was imminent, and the starling wanted to prepare a special gift for his father, but he didn't think about what to give for a while. ”

"Military chess?!" Emperor Hui Wen and the others had more and more surprise on their faces: since ancient times, there had only been Go, and they had never heard of any military chess.

Qingyun glanced sideways at Green Amber, and Green Amber immediately left, leading the two purple-clothed guards back to the open space in the middle, and Green Amber reached out to open a brocade box about two feet wide and four feet long that the two of them were carrying.

On a chessboard carved from a pair of crystal clear white jade, there are thirty-two white jade figures the size of a green pearl fist, and their costumes are different, whether it is the form of movement, or the rhyme of the eyebrows and eyes, and even the small accessories on the clothes are clearly carved and visible, looking lifelike.

"This is the military chess that Starling conceived in that battle." Qingyun explained: "The chessboard is divided into two with the river as the boundary, and each side of the battle has a general, two lieutenants, two military divisions, two knights, two archers, two chariots, and five ordinary soldiers. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and Sima Yue and those generals were even more excited and ecstatic.

Mo Xuan narrowed his eyes, and the secret voice came into Qingyun's ears: "For the sake of King Yue, you have to work hard. He didn't know anything about military chess.

Hearing Mo Xuan's sour voice, Qingyun was slightly stunned, and also replied in a secret voice: "He is my brother." ”

"What about me?"

"You're my love!"

The gloom in Mo Xuan's eyes suddenly vanished, and a charming smile rose at the corner of his lips.

Peeking at the smile on Mo Xuan's lips, Qingyun secretly slandered himself: Vinegar jar, even this cares! But she forgot that she didn't tell Mo Xuan about it.

"The starling told his son his thoughts, and the son thought it was very good, so he ordered someone to find a skilled craftsman to create this military chess, but the starling wanted to give his father a surprise, so he offered a jade Ruyi first, and then the son took out this birthday gift to his father, but I don't know if the father of Lu Dao felt that it was an unexpected joy?" Qingyun said with a smile.

Knowing that her brothers were secretly dealing with Lin Bingquan because of her, she was very moved, and learned that the starling had forgotten to prepare a birthday gift because of this, so she thought of the chess that Bingying had said, and she had an idea, so that people prepared this military chess as a birthday gift for the starling to his father, but it was just completed due to the tight schedule.

"Okay, good, the eighth is really bothered!" Emperor Huiwen smiled and nodded.

"My father thinks it's good, in fact, the starling also thinks that his father works hard day and night, and he usually has nothing to entertain, but now with this military chess, his father can also relax in his spare time, and later the son and the starling will demonstrate the method of playing chess to the father."

"The old eight filial piety is commendable, but I think the most rare thing is that your brothers and sisters work together, this birthday gift, I like it very much!"

Glancing at Sima Chun, whose complexion had changed, Qingyun took Emperor Huiwen's arm and said meaningfully: "Father, the starling is filial piety, and he has made outstanding contributions in the pacification of civil strife, shouldn't the father reward the starling for encouragement?" ”

"What reward does the eighth want?" Emperor Huiwen patted Qingyun's hand, then turned his eyes to look at Sima Yue.

Sima Yue was still immersed in the ecstasy of seeing the military chess, and only came back to his senses after hearing Emperor Huiwen's inquiry, looked at Qingyun with a smile on his face, and secretly looked at Li Feixue, lowered his head and said: "Erchen, Erchen wants to ......" but didn't say what he wanted for a long time.

Looking at Sima Yue, who was so excited that he couldn't speak, Qingyun sighed secretly, then let go of the hand holding Emperor Huiwen's arm, and knelt on both knees: "On behalf of the starling, the son asks for a favor from the emperor!" ”

"It doesn't matter if Jiu'er has anything to say, there is no need to make this big gift." Stretching out his hand to help his beloved daughter, Emperor Huiwen glared at Sima Yue deeply with a little reproach, this old eight, usually speaks straightforwardly, why does Jiu'er have to come forward at this time?

"Thank you, Father!" Qingyun returned to Emperor Huiwen's side, glanced at Li Feixue without a trace, and said with a smile: "My father also knows the way, the starling has loved to study the art of war since he was a child, and dreams of becoming a general who protects his family and defends the country. ”

Emperor Huiwen's eyes sank slightly: "Jiu'er can you know that the royal ancestor is not allowed to control the military power so as not to cause trouble to Xiao Wall?" ”

"Erchen knows the way." Qingyun nodded heavily: "But Erchen firmly believes that the starling brother does not have a trace of the heart of the Sima family!" ”

After listening to Jiu'er's words, Sima Yue was extremely moved and happy in his heart, and said loudly: "Erchen swears that there is no harm to the Sima family in this life, otherwise heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

Since ancient times, the weight of the oath has been well known to those present, which shows that King Yue has an open heart.

Sima Rui and Sima Qi looked at Qingyun, and their eyes were shining with scorching light.

Unexpectedly, Jiu'er would take this opportunity to fulfill the eighth brother's wish for many years, which was really unexpected to them.

Seeing that Emperor Huiwen was still hesitant, Qingyun thought for a while and said: "The Shenrui Battalion has always had strict military discipline under the command of General Situ, and it is loyal and patriotic. Would Starlings be willing? The latter sentence is for Sima Yue.

"The minister is willing!" Sima Yue said loudly.

Emperor Hui Wen looked at Qingyun and asked in a voice that only she could hear, "Can Jiu'er think about it?" ”

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the glow in his father's deep eyes when he looked at him, Qingyun nodded anyway.

"Since Jiu'er has asked for this grace on your behalf, I will grant you permission to go to the Shenrui camp in three days." Emperor Huiwen stared at Sima Yue majestically for a moment and said, "But you have to remember the oath just now, otherwise you will live up to Jiu'er's good intentions, do you understand?" ”

"Erchen thanks his father Emperor Longen, Xie Jiu'er is complete!" Today, a long-cherished wish has finally come true, and Sima Yue is so excited that he can't help himself.

Looking at the ecstatic Sima Yue, Qingyun was also full of joy: "Since my father has already given the starling brother to go to the army for training, why don't you give the 'Tianque Sword' to the starling brother as well?" First, the starling can always keep in mind the teachings of his father, and second, I hope that the starling will defend the territory with the sword given by his father, protect the peace of my Jin country, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

When the words fell, everyone was shocked and inexplicable.

Originally, the emperor violated the ancestral system and obeyed the nine princesses to allow King Yue to join the army, which had shocked them, but they didn't expect that the nine princesses would still want the emperor to give the ancient sword to King Yue, how could this not make them shocked?

Sima Chun's face was already so dark that he could wring out water, staring at Qingyun tightly, he couldn't believe that she would defend King Yue so much, and even said that he would move his father to break the ancestral system.

Sima Yue looked at Emperor Huiwen and Qingyun with a look of ecstasy.

It is said that the 'Tianque Sword' and 'Snow Clothes' are the treasures of the ancient god of war, the silver hilt is inlaid with seven sapphires arranged into the Big Dipper seven stars, the sword body is glowing with blue cold light when it is out of the sheath, especially the heat can be worn through the iron, and the cold can be turned into ice, the ancient god of war is relying on it to cross the battlefield, invincible.

Sima Yue is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, and understands that with his fiery and straightforward temperament, it may be more suitable to use a sword halberd, but Jiu'er asked his father to give him the 'Tianque Sword', hoping that he can be trained to be calm and restrained in the army.

Because Jiu'er once said that if you want to become an invincible and invincible general, you must not only be familiar with the art of war and tactics, but also know how to apply what you have learned, from the overall planning and strategy to the specific means and deployments, which requires the general to maintain a sober and alert mind at all times, resourceful talents, and a calm temperament in case of trouble, which are all his defects.

"You kid!" Emperor Hui Wen smiled and gently scratched Qingyun's little pretty nose: "That's it, just according to what you say." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Leng Yi, Leng Yi immediately left, and after a while, he came back with a long brocade box and handed it to Sima Yue.

Holding the brocade box in both hands, Sima Yue was so excited that he almost forgot where he was, and a bright smile like stars appeared on his handsome face, until Sima Rui coughed lightly, he came back to his senses and said in a loud voice: "The son will live up to his father's expectations, serve the country with enthusiasm and loyalty, and never let the enemy step into the territory of my Jin Kingdom!" ”
