Mu Zhufeng sat in front of the table with a solemn face, his fingers tapping on the table one after another, it could be seen that he must be very anxious at this moment. And the man standing across from him was one of his heartfelt men, who also kept his head down and snorted without speaking.

Mu Zhufeng really asked him to be angry when he thought of what happened this afternoon, and this afternoon the prince suddenly ordered him to enter the palace, and he thought that he had something important or planned to explain, but when he opened the door, he saw the prince's solemn face.

"You're here?" The prince's tone was very bad, there was a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and Mu Zhufeng also had a bad premonition, so he only nodded lightly and closed the door.

The prince turned to sit on the chair, and then motioned for Mu Zhufeng to sit opposite, and on the table between the two of them was a chessboard, on which there were already some pieces in pieces.

"Why don't you come and accompany this king to finish this game?" The prince looked at Mu Zhufeng with a white chess piece between his fingers, and there was an unpredictable charm in his eyes.

The other party is not a person to deal with, Mu Zhufeng hurriedly shirked: "If you are not talented, how can you play against His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"It's okay, just entertainment." I only heard a click, the white chess had fallen, and Mu Zhufeng knew that now he couldn't escape.

Could it be that the prince called himself over just to play a game of chess? How can it be that simple......

Although Mu Zhufeng is a military general, he has been more or less involved in calligraphy and painting from Xiaoqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, although his skills are not exquisite, but he knows a little bit about it. Throughout the first game of chess, the black son was surrounded by white pieces, and it seemed that there was no chance of winning, and it was a dead game.

However, in fact, there is a hidden breakthrough, as long as the sunspots are placed here, swallowed up little by little, and then surround the whites, you can win. But every step must be taken right, if you take the wrong step, you will be regained from the white son.

Click, click, one by one chess pieces on the chessboard, I saw that there were only a few sunspots at the beginning, and now most of the chessboard has become its world, but the white pieces look a lot more pitiful, a small lump curled up in the corner, looking like someone to be slaughtered.

It seems that I have won, and playing chess is like killing the enemy, and it is very pleasant to win. It's just that Mu Zhufeng ignored the prince opposite, and it was really difficult to see a pole in his face at this moment, and the whole person trembled a little.

"Smack!" He swept the board away, and the pieces on it were scattered all over the ground. At this time, Mu Zhufeng noticed the prince's expression, and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake: "The prince forgives his sins!" It's because I'm too carried away, that's it, that's ......."

"Got carried away? I think you're getting carried away! The crown prince walked around Mu Zhufeng, who was kneeling on the ground, and his resentful eyes always stayed on him, "What, but go out and win the battle?" How do I remember that Xie Yutang is not you, what are you excited about? ”

The prince's eyes were interested, and he looked like he wanted to see through Mu Zhufeng, but Mu Zhufeng didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't dare to look into the prince's eyes at this moment, and he could also imagine how much resentment he should have in the eyes of the other party.

Playing chess is just an excuse, I'm afraid the prince has suspected that he has been disloyal to him for a long time, but he has never said it. But what happened on the battlefield before was just an accident, and it was my own mistake.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, listen to my explanation......"

"Explain?" The crown prince ruthlessly interrupted Mu Zhufeng's words and said in a playful tone, "Explain what? Explain how he rose to become the main general? Explain how you helped Xie Yutang regain his father's trust? ”

The prince's scolding echoed in his ears, which was really annoying, but Mu Zhufeng couldn't say anything, so he had to remain silent throughout the whole process, and simply didn't say a word.

After the prince finished venting, he gave an order to Mu Zhufeng: "Okay, if you want to prove your sincerity, you will definitely not be able to rely on your mouth." If you can do anything to regain my trust, this king can continue to believe in you, so you can go. ”

"Yes, retire next." He pinched a cold sweat, but he also felt unhappy in his heart, after all, if it wasn't for an accident, how could he be robbed of the limelight.

This is not the worst, on the way he heard many eunuchs and maids talking about him. It's good now, I was not a person inside and outside by the prince, I lost face, where can I feel comfortable in my heart?

What's more, the other party finally gave himself a problem, so that he could show his heartfelt intentions to him, and the meaning of these words was clear - kill Xie Yutang.

"This plan will be implemented sooner or later, so it's better to put it on the agenda now." Mu Zhufeng's tone was very absolute, and he had already made up his mind to take Xie Yutang's life.

However, his subordinates did not agree very much, and persuaded him: "General, please think twice, now that General Xie is the time to be popular, if you do it now, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous!" ”

"So what, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?" Mu Zhufeng's face was ugly, "If I don't do it again, the prince will take me under the knife." Also on such a cusp, who is more important to me or his life? ”

"Let's wait a few more days, it's such a hot potato, the general can't help it!"

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind." Mu Zhufeng's unwavering expression made his subordinates give up and continue to persuade him, "Go and activate them, let them complete the task as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"They? General, don't you want to send them yet......"

"No, this must be done as quickly as possible, and the cleaner it is handled, the better."

Of course, Mu Zhufeng is not a role that everyone sets up, in fact, in private, he has a few teams of Deadpools in reserve, in case he needs to work for him. Now is this kind of critical moment, how can you relax your vigilance, with the role of Xie Yutang, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to move him casually. This time, he is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, he wants Xie Yutang to completely disappear from this world.

"Yes." After receiving the order, his subordinates left the study, Mu Zhufeng got up and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the sky outside was dark and oppressive, and the moonlight could not be seen. Mu Zhufeng also didn't know when the moonlight would shine on him again.

On the outskirts of the capital, the lotus pond is full of lotus flowers, and on the Jiuqu Bridge, Yan Mar happily turned around twice with her skirt. The sun shone on her face, and it was delicate. She leaned on the edge of the bridge, her fingers tapped the surface of the pool, layer by layer of ripples, accompanied by koi jumping out of the water, a picture of a beautiful lotus pond, everyone who saw it would be fascinated.

Yan Mar's eyes seemed to be on the pool surface, but in fact, he glanced at Xie Yutang on the side from time to time. Xie Yutang sat on the stone bench, looking ahead with empty eyes, obviously absent-minded.

After all, he didn't take the initiative to take Yan Mar out to play, a few days ago, he finally planned to rest for two days, but somehow his father summoned him, and criticized himself and said: "How can you snub your new wife, I gave you a holiday just so that you can take her out to play in the mountains and rivers, you kid don't give me laziness!" ”

Xie Yutang had no choice but to be oppressed by the emperor, so he had to bring Yan Mar out again. He wailed in his heart, Your Majesty, it's better for you to let me go to war than to take this woman out to play.

What's more, now Xie Yutang is depressed all day long because of Chi Wan's affairs in his heart, and he can't even eat much, so how can he come to the nature of touring the mountains and rivers.

Yan Mar pouted, she got up and took the initiative to sit next to Xie Yutang, one hand intentionally or unintentionally reached into Xie Yutang's hand, trying to hold it, but was dodged by Xie Yutang's spirit, took the initiative to sit away a little, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Mar ran her fingers around her hair and said, "The husband accompanied the concubine out to play, but the husband was absent-minded, how could the concubine have fun?" ”

Seeing that Yan Mar took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, the whole person leaned softly on Xie Yutang, which made Xie Yutang straighten up and had a pimple, so he had to agree to her request: "Okay, okay, can't I go with you?" ”

Only then was Yan Mar happy, she stood up with Xie Yutang, and began to walk slowly, admiring the beautiful scenery around her.

"Look, this lotus flower is really beautiful, pink and yellow, and the pond is all over the place, it's really moving." Yan Mar looked at Xie Yutang diligently, hoping to talk to him more. Who knew that the other party still ignored him, thinking about his own thoughts, until Yan Mar stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously in front of him, he relieved himself and said, "Good-looking, good-looking." ”

What, was this man really hooked by the one named Chi Wan? Yan Mar looked down at herself, her beautiful figure, peerless appearance, and she could speak well, and she was also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I really don't know what it could compare to the one named Chi Wan.

The two of them walked like this, and suddenly, Xie Yutang heard a commotion and seemed to have footsteps. Having experienced the battlefield, he quickly raised his vigilance, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and watched left and right.

"What happened?" Before Yan Mar could react, he only saw no less than ten black-clothed people suddenly rushing in from all directions, each holding a bright dagger in his hand, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

"Run!" However, it was too late to escape, and the men in black surrounded them, and they had no way out. In a hurry, in order to save Yan Ma'er's life, Xie Yutang unceremoniously pushed her into the lotus pond behind with one palm.

Yan Mar screamed in shock, and then with a pop, the whole person was drowned in, and there was no sound after a few grunts.

Xie Yutang's eyes were staring at those black-clothed people, and one hand had already touched the dagger that he usually carried with him, ready to start a war at any time.

"Who are you?" Although he knew that he would not get a response, Xie Yutang still asked this question.
