Chapter 245: Undefeated

This game of "Luoyang Chess", there are many entrants, and after decades, it is time to settle the winners.

It's just that the people who laid out the original layout have quietly gone away, leaving behind only the improvisation of the latecomers, with many variables. At this time, the situation in Jiuyuan is unpredictable, and the temples and rivers and lakes of the Later Tang Dynasty, which seem to be calm, are already full of mountains and rains.

Gao Chengying rode a jujube red horse and walked beautifully. She didn't feel that she was sure of victory, but she was a little worried.

Her titular master, Kumo from Wuliang City, was waiting for an opportunity at Yangming Mountain, thirty miles outside Luoyang City, but at this time the opportunity still did not show any signs, which made her fall into a cramped and uneasy situation.

Gao Chengying subconsciously shook the whip in his hand, and the jujube red horse snorted lightly, or was worried that if he accidentally displeased the owner, the horsewhip would fall heavily on the horse's buttocks.

Gao Chengying suddenly clamped the horse's belly and raised the whip heavily. The red steed was in pain for a while, and after letting out a neigh, he shook off his hooves and began to gallop. Gao Chengying's personal guards also moved, and it seemed that they had a tacit understanding.

Gao Chengying didn't know why, and suddenly made up his mind. Since serving as the commander of the forbidden army, after many experiences, I have always realized a truth, that is, if there is continuous decision, there will be chaos afterwards. No matter what the others in this "chess game" think, Gao Fu will definitely make the first move and seize the opportunity.

The moonlight in the dark night converges into a river, sloping down, illuminating the way away. Gao Chengying has no way out, this is her only chance, if she fails, she will be doomed.

Because, this is also Ayah's expectation. This is also the only way to rescue A-Niang.

She's not emotionless, she's just not good at expressing and confiding. The softest place in the heart will only be exposed to vanity in the dead of night, after being alone and unguarding himself.

This may be the sorrow of being an elder, but if it is like a hidden exhibition, maybe I will live a happier life.

But all of this will gradually come to an end from now on. Because, this temple will belong to their Gao family, and the so-called head of the Gao family, who is now "showing up", will also be trampled under his feet.

This is also the person Gao Chengying can't rest assured of, Gao Yunzhong. This person, who is the same as Aya in appearance and conversation, but is not Aye, is no longer willing to be just a "marionette", he wants to break free from the shackles and turn against the guest.

Although he had mentioned to Aya countless times that he had to be on guard, Aya always smiled and didn't speak. Where in the world can there be two identical leaves, but they are just an illusion deliberately created by someone.

But the real head of the Gao Mansion needs to hide in the shadows to strategize, which is a "dark chess" that has to be taken in one step, and it is also the hope of living to death. If this uprising fails, then the Gao family will have the possibility of making a comeback.

But that Gao Yunzhong, would he really be willing to be a substitute ghost?

Gao Chengying was a little upset, and unconsciously felt that the movements in his hands were a little worse, and the jujube red horse under his crotch neighed again, a little confused, and ran faster. When Gao Chengying looked at the top of the famous mountain from afar, he seemed to see a person standing in the wind, full of spirit.

But when she looked back at Luoyang, the capital city that was gradually moving away, she seemed to see a person, on the high platform of the deep palace, looking into the distance by the railing, waiting for the long-lost bloody rain.

Gao Chengying felt a little uneasy for no reason, she tried her best to control herself, but she still unconsciously looked at the impenetrable Luoyang behind her.

…………

The eastern capital of Luoyang, Ziwei Palace, outside the Zhengying Palace.

The night wind and the moon are falling, and all that cannot be taken away is the sad past and the devastation of the present.

At that time, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, used his third son, and now the lord of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunqing, wearing Mingguang armor and a sword at his waist, standing against the wind. When he looked into the distance, it seemed to meet people's eyes, and a trace of complex emotions flashed, but there was no longer any true feelings.

The chief eunuch Wang Qi stood ten steps away from Li Cunqiao, his hands folded on his sleeves, and he bowed to wait.

Not long ago, I just received a tip-off that the local officials of the counties around the Tang Dynasty were slaughtered. Those Jianghu sects that have been enveloped by the Later Tang Dynasty have also been poisoned. After Li Cunmiao learned the news, he didn't have much emotion, but just ordered Wang Yi to gather the garrison in order to be safe.

Li Cunmiao is worthy of being a handsome and talented general, although he has taken off his armor for many years, but when he puts on the Mingguang armor again, he is also as high-spirited as he was back then. It's just that the people of the year, walking, scattering, and passing away, will always add a little sigh to the past.

Now that this game of chess is nearing the end, then make a desperate bet and fight to the death.

When the chief eunuch Wang Qi came to present Li Cunqing, he "stopped" to two places and met two people. One is naturally Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Building, Wang Qi wants to know if he is also in the bureau and how to act.

But Nalan did not have any changes, and the elite in the building also went according to the rules and was not affected in any way. This move made Wang Itch confused, but he didn't know how to speak. In the final analysis, the relationship between the two is "mutually beneficial", and while sharing interests, they also use each other.

Nalan stood on the second floor, looked down at Manager Wang, who was hesitating in the courtyard, and took the lead in opening his mouth to solve his doubts, "Manager Wang, you can rest assured." Now that you have made your choice, you will not do anything else now. ”

Manager Wang nodded silently when he heard this, but he was still a little uneasy.

Nalan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Manager Wang, although he is reinstated, Mingyue Lou will not interfere in this matter, of course, he will only stand by." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, showed a long-lost smile, and after saluting with his fists, he turned around and left.

Not long after Mr. Wang left, the old man came out of a shadow, and was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Nalan speaking, "Don't be impatient, but you just want to get away with it." ”

"What do you mean, landlord? Wang Itch will definitely not believe it all? So what about the lord Li Cunqiao's side? "Old Ru is still a little worried.

Nalan didn't directly answer the old man's question, but asked rhetorically, "How did I do the things I was assigned?" ”

The old man immediately bowed down and said, "It's all done." ”

"I'm curious, what kind of expression did Li Yanyun have when she saw that human head?" Nalan asked with interest.

The old man didn't have any extra words, and replied respectfully: "I wasn't surprised, but I just sent someone to accept it." ”

Nalan suddenly lost interest, and didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, but turned around and walked to the wing room on the second floor, leaving a sentence, "Keep an eye on the Gao family's mansion, if there is any change, report it at any time." ”

The old man hugged his fists to receive his life, but as everyone knows, his back has been soaked in cold sweat.

When Nalan actually asked a question, he had already expected that the old man did not obey the order, but "returned to Zhao" with the two women. This is understandable, if Mingyuelou loses this game of chess, there is really no need for him to be sent to death with him.

Nalan returned to the table and continued to wipe the long sword, and the cold light of the sword body burst out, shining brightly.

The old man didn't dare to linger any longer, and walked quickly towards the door, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy. When he was ordered to go to the secret prison in the building, he didn't have any dissent, but when he sent the two women out of the Mingyue Building, he had a plan.

Obviously, these two women knew the inside story and told a shocking secret at the same time.

This secret could not be believed by the old man, and when the two women revealed their identities, the old man was shocked beyond measure. The knife raised in his hand could only be put down slowly, and he had to put it down.

Ru Lao had to plan for his own back road, which undoubtedly violated the instructions of Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Mansion, but he had to. Because the Confucian elder can't see through it, then since this is the case, there is absolutely no reason to make a desperate bet, and it is not an exaggeration to protect himself.

The two women not only made a verbal promise, but also gave the old man a token that if the Mingyue Tower collapsed overnight, they could come to the palace to seek refuge. The old man took out a simple object from his sleeve, which was the finger bone of a beast, and rubbed it repeatedly, and his mind was uneasy.

…………

After the chief manager left, he felt a little relieved, and hurried to the bedroom of the five princes non-stop, and told all the news he had gotten. Although the fifth prince is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is in the emperor's family, and he has already made a decision.

In addition, Manager Wang had intended to win over before, and he knew the benefits, so he also began to plan slowly, just waiting for an opportunity. Now, the time has come, but I don't know what the lord of the country should do?

If it is successful, it will naturally be able to be ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but if the matter is revealed......

The faces of the five princes were cloudy, but the chief eunuch Wang Itch was in his chest. He knew the temper of the lord of the country, Li Cunqing, and naturally knew that Li Cunqiao would not take a detour, and he would definitely make a lonely bet. At that time, when all parties are seriously damaged, they can seize power in one fell swoop.

The fifth prince listened quietly to the words of the chief manager of Wang, and did not nod or shake his head. He had another plan in his heart, that is, if the matter was revealed, he would put everything on Manager Wang and find out the relationship thoroughly.

Therefore, he can't promise too much, and that's the plot.

Chief Wang naturally didn't know what the five princes were thinking, so he only said that this prince was his puppet, and when he was in power, he would be able to call the wind and rain.

Everyone's motivation is not pure.

When Chief Wang appeared ten steps away from Li Cunmiao, he reported all the information he had learned, and of course concealed the secret meeting with Nalan and the five princes. Li Cunmiao was already wearing Mingguang armor and waiting.

Manager Wang suddenly chuckled in his heart, although he was prepared, he still couldn't help but lose some of his temper. Fortunately, the night was thick, and Li Cunmiao's mind was not on him, and he did not show his feet.

Li Cunmiao still looked at the capital of Luoyang from afar, and after a long silence, he said: "How can this great river and mountain be eternal!" ”

Wang Yi heard the mystery, but he was so frightened that he was silent. Li Cunmiao didn't turn around, but his tone was cold, "Manager Wang, what do you say?" ”

Mr. Wang's body did not move, and cold sweat flowed on his back, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "The lord of the country is wise and martial, and he will definitely be able to dominate the rivers and mountains for thousands of years." ”

Li Cunmiao suddenly laughed, laughing very arrogantly, without any previous forbearance and concealment, and asked loudly: "Wang Itchy, how dare those thieves mess with my rivers and mountains?" ”

Mr. Wang fell to his knees with a thud, trembling, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Cunmiao continued: "The territory of the Later Tang Dynasty stretches for thousands of miles, but I still can't see the scenery of the Nine Shadows, the waves of the angry sea are turbulent, I don't know if I can ride a horse and run wild in my lifetime and unify the Nine Abysses!" ”

Li Cunmiao didn't continue to pay attention to Wang Yi's trembling, but sighed softly with emotion, maybe he was also a little helpless. As the lord of the country, there are too many helpless and ambitious ambitions, and he has to solve the immediate troubles first.

Therefore, in this game of chess, you can only win, not lose.
