Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 116 The Old Fox's Speculation
On the palace of King Qin, night has fallen, and the people have lit the lights, and in the lights, the palace of King Qin is even more majestic than the palace.
Candles were also lit in Hanshan Zhai, and Xu De and Feng Tianshou sat opposite each other, with a game of chess in front of them. I don't know if it's because of the shrinkage of chess skills, this time, Xu De actually had the upper hand faintly, and Feng Tianshou almost killed himself with several bad moves.
Two scholars waited outside the door, and the bold maid stepped forward to tease the two young men, who were no more than ten years old. The two scholars had crimson faces, but it was difficult to leave. The laughter of the maids "giggles" can be heard in the cold mountain fast.
Xu De held a chess piece in his hand, and finally did not fall, but threw it back into the chess basket, and said to Feng Tianshou: "You have something to hide from me, so absent-minded, tell me." ”
Feng Tianshou also held a chess piece in his hand, and when he saw Xu De open his mouth at this moment, he also put down the chess piece and said, "Ye Qing has come to the capital." ”
"I know that." Xu De smiled, "There are still people who send people to assassinate him, but that bastard, the snake-like kung fu doesn't seem to have declined in the slightest." Xu De remembered that the spy came to report the time, and when he talked about the terrifying wound on the man's body, the memory of fighting with Ye Qing when he was young was vivid.
As we all know, there are red horses in the north, old foxes in them, and green snakes in the south.
There is only one red horse in the north, and there is only one old fox in Tianjing, so people habitually think that there is only one green snake. In fact, there has never been more than one green snake.
A green snake sang in front of the stage, giving advice to the king of Guangnan and seizing the country. The other green snake is hidden behind the scenes, dominating the most elite forces under the command of the Guangnan Palace, and doing some unsightly things for the Guangnan Palace. It's just that over the years, the green snake in front of the stage has become more and more famous, and the green snake under the stage has become more and more hidden and inconspicuous.
However, this does not mean that the hidden green snake is not deadly. Just like a snake, the more venomous this creature is, the more it likes to hide in the shadows and give a fatal blow.
Xu De's mind turned and said, "Don't tell me, that person was sent by you, I don't remember that there is a No. 1 hidden weapon master with a lancet by your side." Xu De said, his eyes moved from the chessboard to the window, the night sky in the distance was bright, and tomorrow must be a sunny day.
Feng Tianshou's brows furrowed, and he said, "That person was naturally not sent by me, the prince should know that my old Feng is not stupid." ”
"And what are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering, why, Ye Qing came to Tianjing City, and Liu Xian's position as the prince of the world has become more stable." As he spoke, Feng Tianshou shook his head, stroked his beard with his hand, and said, "It stands to reason that even if it is not the internal actions of the Guangnan Palace, Ye Qing's trip should also warn Liu Xian." ”
Thinking of Feng Tianshou's speculation a few days ago, none of them have become a fact these days, although Xu De is a little embarrassed in his heart, but he is still more happy, after all, no one will think that he has less trouble.
Xu De saw Feng Tianshou's appearance and said: "You are also embarrassed, and it is normal to miss occasionally, the old thief of the king of Guangnan is scheming." Xu De actually described the king of Guangnan with tricks, but he forgot that he was surrounded by Feng Tianshou, an old fox who has always been famous for his tricks.
Seeing that Feng Tianshou was still babbling to himself, Xu De shook his head and said, "I think you are a demon." As he spoke, he got up, picked up the teapot, leaned on it with his left hand and tested the temperature, it was still hot, so he poured himself a cup, didn't drink it, turned around and poured a cup for Feng Tianshou.
Xu De put down the teahouse, took a sip of the teacup, and said "ah" comfortably, these days, no one came to trouble him, he lived very comfortably, and the strings of the whole person have been loosened.
"Lord Wang." Feng Tianshou's voice suddenly sounded.
"How, figured it out."
"I have a bigger guess."
Xu De put down the teacup and looked at Feng Tianshou's face, only to see Feng Tianshou's face flashing with a strange brilliance, this is a state after completely seeing through the obstacle, although I don't know if it is correct, but at this moment, in Feng Tianshou's heart, the world can no longer hide his riddle.
Seeing this, Xu De sat down opposite Feng Tianshou again, and said, "Tell me, I want to hear what you think." ”
Bursts of tea mist floated from the teacup in front of Feng Tianshou, and the aroma spread on the small chessboard, Feng Tianshou did not drink tea, but pinched a chess piece in his hand, and said: "Lord Wang, do you know why Ye Qing came to the capital this time, and Liu Xian's position was more stable?" ”
"Why?"
"Because the king of Guangnan doesn't care about how Tianjing City is." Feng Tianshou's eyes looked unusually bright in the light.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Zizhu City is at the southernmost point of Dahan." As he spoke, Feng Tianshou stretched out his hand, swept all the chess pieces on the chessboard to the ground, put a chess piece in front of him, and said, "This is Zizhu City, this is the lair of the old man of the King of Guangnan." ”
The jade chess pieces were falling on the ground, constantly making crisp sounds, just listening to the sound, he knew that it should be broken a lot, but Xu De didn't care, as if he couldn't see or hear at all, looked at the chess pieces that fell in Feng Tianshou's hand, and said, "Go on." ”
"According to the temperament of the king of Guangnan, he is satisfied to be a soil emperor in the far south, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all. He still has hundreds of thousands of Guangnan troops in his hands, and the Guangnan army is still there one day, no matter who the master of the court is replaced, he can sit back and relax. Feng Tianshou paused, took a chess piece from the chess basket, put it in front of Xu De, pointed with his finger, and said: "King Guangnan doesn't care about Tianjing City, but there are people in Tianjing City that he cares about. ”
"Who? Liu Xian? Xu De had a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's Liu Xian."
"But in the past few years, or even more than ten years, when did the King of Guangnan show his love or protection for Liu Xian?"
"That's the best protection."
Xu De reacted in an instant, sometimes, deliberately keeping a distance is the smoothest protection.
"So, Cheng Ranxuan is dead." Xu De muttered.
"Exactly." Feng Tianshou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Think about it, if Cheng Ranxuan dies, can the King of Guangnan blatantly stretch his hand to the north that he has never cared about without fear of being suspected." ”
Xu De nodded.
"So, I'm sure that the old thing has something wrong with his body, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry, throwing the power in his hand on Liu Xian's shoulder, a wind thorn, enough to protect Liu Xian under the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops, and return to Zizhu City."
"So, Cheng Ranxuan was also killed by the King of Guangnan?"
"No, the murderer is someone else. It's just that the king of Guangnan guessed the movements of this group of people, and sent Cheng Ranxuan to hit the muzzle of the gun first, and this murderer should be standing behind Liu Xian, Liu Xian is just a puppet in his hand. ”
Xu De thought carefully about Xu De's words before and after, indeed, in this way, many things will be solved, and the question of why Liu Xian was not removed from the position of his son as Feng Tianshou speculated is easy to figure out.
"Can the King of Quang Nam send the Wind Spike all the way to the north so covertly and strongly, who do you think that person will be?" Xu De asked.
"Song Qingshu, it can only be him."
"Could it be that the other sons of the king of Quang Nam have seized power?"
"Impossible, although there are many heirs of the prince of Guangnan, Liu Xian is already the only one who can stand on the stage."
"You say." Xu De paused, the corners of his mouth curled, "Will Ye Qing be in the same group as Song Qingshu?" ”
"The two of them were at odds on the surface, and they were stopped by the king of Quang Nam for several battles."
"But it's hard to say how privately." Xu De smiled: "Moreover, the relationship is not good on the surface, and it can also provide a cover for the private correspondence between the two of them." ”
"Let's see Ye Qing's next performance in the capital." Feng Tianshou put down the teacup in front of him, it was already empty, Xu De got up, and asked the maid who was laughing at the scholar by the door to rest first and make a pot of tea for herself.
Before Xu De could sit down, Feng Tianshou spoke again: "Lord Wang, I thought of a more interesting one." ”
"How interesting." Xu De sat down.
"It's a hundred times more interesting than you."
"Tell me."
"The person the eldest princess is relying on, will it be Song Qingshu."
Xu De suddenly gasped and sat up straight. To be honest, he had never considered any entanglement between the royal family and the Guangnan Royal Mansion before, but if someone borrowed the power of the Guangnan Royal Mansion, but did not use the name of the Guangnan Royal Mansion, even if he and Feng Tianshou did not see it for a while, it was normal.
"I remember you said before that the eldest princess seems to have a problem."
"At that time, I was only 60% sure, and now, I am 80%." Feng Tianshou took a white piece from the chess basket in front of Xu De, placed it next to the chess piece representing Tianjing City, and said, "Someone is waiting for us to sweep the barricades in front of us and grab our things." ”
"They're not going to play now?"
"Maybe it's not enough strength." Xu De thought carefully about the reason why he forced the king of Guangnan to go north, and then spoke: "Maybe their main battlefield is not in Tianjing, but in Zizhu City. ”
"It's a pity that Zizhu City can't poke his eyeliner in." Xu De sighed and stretched out his eyeliner to Zizhu City, he had been trying for several years without success.
"Even if he is blind, our current goal is very clear, and we don't have to care about how great Zizhu City is." Feng Tianshou looked at Xu De's face and said, "Lord Wang, you need a master to watch Ye Qing, or rather, monitor him." ”
"Li Tie?" Xu De subconsciously said that he was now the strongest person in martial arts around him.
"He can't go, as in the capital today, the situation is treacherous, and he can't tell where someone wants to plot against the prince. I have one person recommending. ”
"Who."
"My coachman, old Mo."
"Don't wait?" Xu De said the full name of the coachman Lao Mo, thought about it, concealed the assassination, tracked and escaped, this person is definitely the first in Beijing.
"Lao Mo is definitely up to the task."
"What else is there to arrange besides this one?"
"Send more people to guard the Eldest Princess's Mansion."
Hearing this, Xu De squinted and smiled: "You are too nervous, what can you do with that woman's family." There were thirty men in the camp. Every day you go in and out, remember to be clear, flies can't fly in. ”
"Thirty is not enough," Feng Tianshou shook his head: "If it is fifty, it may be enough." ”
"Okay, so be it." Xu De got up and went to the door to pick up the teapot, and said, "I think you're just too nervous." ”
"The Eldest Princess's Mansion has been too quiet lately...... Abnormal. Feng Tianshou began to whisper to himself again.
