In Chang'an City, Li Jiancheng Fuzhong. Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing sat opposite each other, and above the middle desk between the two of them, there was a chessboard. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Go chessboard was 17 longitudinal and horizontal, and it became 19 in the early Sui Dynasty, and the Li family used the rules of this dynasty. The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard have occupied more than half of the positions, and the two sides are deadlocked, and it seems that they are evenly matched, but if you look closely, you will find that the situation between the two sides seems to be as stable as Mount Tai but is actually very dangerous, no matter who takes a wrong step, it is difficult to recover

Back to the decline. The two sides want to decide the winner, either in a few hours, or in a moment. Although the Li family is said to be a noble family with military achievements, since Li Yuan's generation, they have admired Jiangnan culture, and the children of the family will inevitably be affected. No matter how hard Li Yuan tried to maintain the family style of a military general, he asked his disciples to ride horses and practice martial arts, open bows and arrows

, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which the southern scholars are better at, are still gradually becoming the preferences of the children of the Li family. Li Shimin and Li Yan are the part of the family that maintains a better family style of military generals, and they are all interested in bow and knife martial arts, and they are not interested in these Jiangnan playthings. Li Jiancheng, the eldest son in the family, imitated his father everywhere, including for these miscellaneous

The taste of learning is also the same. When it comes to the art of war and martial arts, he is not as good as Li Shimin, but if he uses a chessboard instead of a battlefield, he asks himself if he will win. Li Jiancheng is very interested in the way of tattooing, and whenever he has leisure, he finds someone to play with him. As the head of the Li family, it is a great honor for him to be able to play against him, and it can even be regarded as a kind of honor. There are not too many people in the family who have this qualification

, in addition to his own brothers, he is a very powerful subordinate who has this qualification. Li Jiancheng's favorite opponent was Xie Shufang before, and for a period of time, it even reached the point where it was difficult to sleep without competing with Xie Shufang for an hour every day. After all, he is a child of Jiang Zuo's Xie family, and his attainments in the way of piano and chess are indeed not Guan

These warriors can be compared. Emperor Wu of Liang was good at playing, so that Yun Pin set the chess score, and gathered the southeast Go players to a place to compare and high, according to the different chess strength of each person, awarded different grades, from one to nine as the southern officialdom at that time. The Xie family was not declining at that time, and they were also very interested in this way, and did everything possible to recruit good players for their own use. The Jiupin chess players were more than 20% enveloped by the Xie family, and there were even more national players in the first rank. The chess paths of these people were also compiled into a book by the Xie family, and taught to their children and grandchildren as part of their family studies. Xie Shufang's family history is not only a martial arts, but also extremely exquisite in chess, so he is regarded as a good opponent by Li Jiancheng and does not want to miss it. He was able to become a confidant of the building, which is on the game of Go

The ability is also not small. But not long ago, Li Jiancheng suddenly changed his mind, and no longer played against Xie Shufang, but often looked for Liu Wenjing as an opponent. Since Liu Wenjing fell out of favor with Jiancheng, she has not been qualified to be called to play chess with Li Jiancheng for a long time. This change made the others around Li Jiancheng wonder, and they all speculated about what means Liu Wenjing used to return to the world. Only Liu Wenjing knew in his heart that it was not that he had done anything extraordinary, but that Xie Shufang had done it

was so bad that Li Jiancheng lost patience with him. Parrot Continent failed to intercept Xu Le and his party, lost the five-tooth warship later, and even the last elite unit of the Xie family was completely lost. As soon as the news was delivered to Jiancheng, Xie Shufang's fall from grace was already doomed. In the final analysis, in troubled times, strength is respected

, The Xie family's family background has declined, and the identity of Jiangzuo Xie's children can only be regarded as icing on the cake, and the reason why Xie Shufang can be valued is mainly by his martial arts and strength in his hands. If Xu Le is successfully killed, then the losses of these parts will be worth it, and the completion will not only make up for the losses of the Xie family, but also regard Xie Shufang as his right-hand man. But the problem is that he failed to get things done, but instead damaged the upper part of the water

As much as possible, Jiancheng will naturally not show mercy to his subordinates. You must know that in the original plan to build, this group of people and horses on Parrot Island was a strange army, and once the Li family's army crossed south, this group of people and horses could take the opportunity to respond. It can not only help the Li family cross the river smoothly, but also help build a territory and expand the territory, establish martial arts, and fight

Li Shimin was caught off guard. Now that even the soldiers, horses, and warships have been wiped out so silently, but Xu Le still arrived in Jiangdu safely, and he naturally can't get out of his heart. Xu Le is not a fool, he can definitely guess who is plotting against him. If he died, he naturally had nothing to say, and now that the Xie family is dead, this matter will not end so easily. Xu Le even dared to fight Chai Shao for the sake of his subordinates, and this time he was in danger

Some victims, naturally they will not let Li Jiancheng go. It is conceivable that when Xu Le returns from Jiangnan, Li Jiancheng will inevitably face a battle of right and wrong. Of course, Li Jiancheng is the head of the Li family, so he will not be afraid of Xu Le, a fighting general. But as soon as he remembered that Xu Le swept firewood on the battlefield and threw Dou Fengjie above his head to Mingzhu in front of the banquet, Li Jiancheng's heart couldn't help but tremble. for no reason

provoked such a high-level and bold opponent who killed people without blinking for no reason, Li Jiancheng naturally hated Xie Shufang to the core, but he was alienated and did not punish him, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. If Xu Le's revenge in the future is a long-term concern, then the exposure of the entire layout is a near-term worry. The relationship between the families is intricate and intertwined, you have me, I have you, although it is convenient for each other to communicate with each other, but in

When it comes to confidentiality, there is a huge obstacle. What's more, if Li Yuan wants to seize the world, he naturally will not close his eyes and listen, and he has already opened his ears and eyes to inquire about the news as early as when Jinyang was dormant. The matter of Parrot Island is too big, it is murder and arson, and there is a five-tooth warship, even if the Xie family wants to cover up the news in every possible way to prevent outsiders from knowing, and wants to hide it from others and even Li Yuan, it is all wishful thinking. It's in Li Jianchengde

At the same time as the situation in Parrot Island, the report about the cause and effect of the whole incident was also sent to the case of Pei Lian, the mastermind under Li Yuan. As Li Yuan's close friend and confidant, Pei Lin has been managing those scattered eyes and ears in place of Li Yuan in recent years. When the military situation came up in various places, Pei Lin screened it first, handed over the information that was most closely related to the Li family or the most important to Li Yuan, and took care of the rest. Otherwise, just the gathering from all over the country would be enough to make Li Yuan anxious, and nothing else could be done. It was precisely because of Pei Lian's diligence and loyalty in this regard and his proper handling that Li Yuan was made

Trust him as an arm. Unlike most of the staff and subordinates in the family, Pei Lin and the children of the Li family did not have much friendship with each other. He always put himself in the position of Li Yuan's confidant and personal friend, did not participate in the fight between the children of the Li family, and never thought about making friends with anyone in advance. Although he takes some care of Li Jiancheng on weekdays, and he is a little unpleasant to look at Xu Le, these do not involve personal grievances. Li Jiancheng is good at socializing on weekdays, and most of the children of these families who defected to Li Yuan are kind to Li Jiancheng

。 is the older generation of civil and military generals, and most of them have dealings with Li Jiancheng, but Pei Lin is an exception. The mastermind of the Li family has always cared for Li Jiancheng, but he is not kind, and the two get along very happily and can't talk about friendship. In the face of this kind of delicate old fox, Li Jiancheng couldn't find a way, knowing that the other party had no intention of getting involved in his brother's dispute

It's useless to woo yourself. On weekdays, he doesn't deliberately embarrass himself, but if something really happens, he can't count on Pei Lin to cover up anything for himself. It's like this time he designed to attack Xu Le to seek Li Shimin, which eventually led to Xu Le's envoy to Jiangdu. Pei Lin didn't say anything about these things in his eyes, but instead fueled Xu Le to drive Xu Le out of Chang'an. But he would never approve of poisoning Xu Le halfway, let alone cover it up for himself. In this regard, Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing's calculations are the same

I didn't know how many people went, and they all wanted to borrow Yang Guang's hand to kill people and put the blame on Yang Guang's head instead of not knowing the so-called water thief. Li Jiancheng originally won the game because he ignored Liu Wenjing's warning. Now it seems that it is a big mistake, not only did he lose a shadow in vain, but also offended Pei Lian. With this Uncle Pei's character, my father must have gotten the news from there

。 The reason why I didn't have a seizure is that I don't know if I want to make a big thing small, or wait for a thunderous blow. Liu Wenjing knew in his heart that the reason why Li Jiancheng was alienated from Xie Shufang and reconnected with him was that he hoped that he would think of a way to break the situation for him. For Li Jiancheng, the biggest threat at the moment is not Xu Le, but Pei Lian. After all, he and Pei Lian

used to be close friends, even if they are now estranged, at least they can guess Pei Lian's methods and strategies, and can make suggestions for Jiancheng to try to resolve the crisis. In fact, during this time, Liu Wenjing was also considering another owner. Although Jiancheng has the status of the eldest and acts like a family son, his ascension to the throne in the future will be of great help to the Liu family to revitalize the family business. But this man is too frivolous and not thoughtful

Quan, he is also a little mean to his subordinates, and he is not like a man. If you follow him, you may not be able to achieve your wish. But now Li Jiancheng took the initiative to see the summons, and put on the appearance of Corporal Lixian, which made Liu Wenjing's heart shaken again. More importantly, it is still hostility towards Xu Le. Although there is no direct conflict between the two, and there is no stakes, Liu Wenjing never forgets the scene when she and Xu Le first met. A young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, with a few companions

Immediately dared to go straight to the clouds to seek justice from Liu Ying, and relied on his own strength to beat Liu Wuzhou's generals all over. Such sharp teenagers will naturally get ahead in troubled times, but their appearance often means a threat to the family. Liu Wenjing remembered the teachings of his ancestors, in the past, the world was in turmoil, and it was countless such sharp teenagers who destroyed their own foundation and lifeline, making the Liu family decline and the world changing. Such people must not be kept! Although that old friend Pei Lin didn't say it, he was afraid that he would think so in his heart, so he let Xu Le go to Jiangdu. Even Liu Wenjing vaguely felt that Li Yuan, who took care of Xu Le as a nephew, behaved very strangely in this matter. It is said that with his intelligence, he will not fail to see the intentions of these people, but he let all this happen, what is the intention behind this, it is really worth pushing

Knock. He can turn his back on Li Jiancheng and vote for a new master, but before that, he will eradicate Xu Le first. It is not only to remove a misfortune for the world in the future, but also a temptation for Li Yuan. Moreover, if his expectations are not bad, Li Yuan also has an extreme situation at the moment

The important thing to do is to take care of Li Jiancheng's side. If he can combine the two things into one, maybe he can make Li Yuan pay more attention to his talents. If this is the case, it will naturally save a lot of hands and feet. Both for public and private, Xu Le ...... The world can't tolerate you, don't blame me!
