The night in the mountains is refreshingly cool, the soil after the rain brings the fragrance of vegetation, from time to time there are a few crisp birdsongs, the hollow valley sounds, quiet, but quite a bit of the comfort and comfort of the landscape people.

Melting into the night, Mu Qingfeng stood thoughtfully outside the camp tent, there was a light in front of him, some of the soldiers were tidying up the housekeeping, some were sitting together drinking and chatting, and there were soldiers who took advantage of the night to practice secretly.

I felt a deep sense of helplessness, if it weren't for this expedition, they wouldn't have to leave their hometown and relatives, suffering from homesickness, and worrying about their lives.

Involuntarily, he touched the warm jade pendant on his neck, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that not far away, General Zhao led two generals to come together, and Mu Qingfeng invited a few people into the camp tent.

In Zhao Linrui's matter, General Zhao's face was somewhat unbearable, so he took the lead in opening his mouth, "The third prince, the matter of the dog, the minister is willing to accept the guilt for him." Zhao Linrui's decision caused the speed of the march that could have been accelerated, which was hindered, and the soldiers were injured as a result, delaying the plan of the march, but with a great sin, General Zhao knew the stakes of this matter. So he took this opportunity to plead guilty.

However, Mu Qingfeng looked at the person who came lightly, and the two generals who came with General Zhao also made a look of interceding for Zhao Linrui, which he disdained, Zhao Linrui's stubbornness got along today, Mu Qingfeng knew it completely, it was nothing more than that he felt that he was a useless person, and he suddenly wanted to see what Zhao Linrui would do after waking up.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and everyone was worried for a while, "The person who made the mistake is not you, and I just want to discuss the future march plan with you today, I have a proposal, in the future, there must be no more willful and reckless things in the army, and now the border is urgent, if we delay the fighter because of differences of opinion, how can you and I afford this sin." ”

"The generals have fought on the battlefield for Wu without hesitation for many years, and have made great contributions, even if I don't need to say more, you also understand the stakes, so this is not only my plea, but also the request of many relatives who are waiting for the triumphant return of all the soldiers. I don't want this to happen again because of our disagreement. ”

It can be heard that what Mu Qingfeng is referring to in his words is Zhao Linrui, but now it has embarrassed General Zhao. In front of his subordinates, Mu Qingfeng didn't save any face, his son's fault was indeed a fact, and he didn't have any right to refute it.

General Zhao's face was solemn, knowing that Mu Qingfeng would not let go of his son this time, but as a soldier, a soldier should not have any complaints, he gladly accepted it, no matter what he would do with Zhao Linrui.

The three of them calmly faced and walked out of Mu Qingfeng's tent.

Late at night, Zhao Linrui, who had eased up, although he was still drowsy, but he also knew that he had finally returned to the barracks, thinking of the past few days, and after calming down, he realized how naïve he was, because of personal grievances, he gambled with the lives of all the soldiers, and he was really ashamed of his own soldiers.

After thinking about it, he put on his robe, and his actions were somewhat unfavorable, and he was ashamed to see the guards outside the camp all night.

"General, why did you come out, the frost is heavy in the middle of the night, and your injuries have not healed anymore." The soldiers on duty, who had followed Zhao Linrui for many years and had deep feelings, now heard his concern, and a sour feeling surged on the tip of his nose.

"It's out of the way, it's a small injury, but you've worked hard." Zhao Linrui tried his best to suppress his choking. After speaking, he looked at the surrounding tents.

There were soldiers on duty outside each camp tent, and this night gave him the feeling that it was so long, and he saw that the camp where Mu Qingfeng was resting was still lit with candles. Although I was a little reluctant, I did something wrong after all.

The soldiers outside the door saluted the visitors, and after Zhao Linrui entered, Mu Qingfeng saw Mu Qingfeng alone holding a two-color chess piece, pondering the chess game, and did not realize his existence at all.

But when he stepped forward, Mu Qingfeng's calm voice came, "Zhao Gongzi, since you are here, how about playing a game with me?" ”

Zhao Linrui did not refuse, and generously walked to Mu Qingfeng and sat down, Mu Qingfeng put the black chess in his hand into the chess box, and raised his eyes to look at him with interest. Zhao Linrui didn't mean to back down.

"Please." Mu Qingfeng held the white chess in his hand and motioned for Zhao Linrui to go first.

Zhao Linrui fell into a son, and fell on the side, while Mu Qingfeng was a nearby son with a light cloud. The changes in the chess game are to maintain the offensive and form a thick flavor.

After several changes, I saw Zhao Linrui's face showing joy, and Mu Qingfeng still had a calm face, opening up his situation, no matter what Zhao Linrui's momentum was.

Zhao Linrui was tight everywhere, tense and ruthless, he knew that the chess game was like a battlefield, and there was no room for sloppiness, even in the face of a person with a noble status like Mu Qingfeng, he did not show half a bit of fear, and he tried his best to chase and intercept the chess game, so that Mu Qingfeng's layout fell into a passive situation.

However, before Zhao Linrui was proud for a moment, Mu Qingfeng made a jump to break the passive situation, and Zhao Linrui's painstaking efforts were torn apart by him in this way.

Zhao Linrui was not willing to lag behind, and continued to besiege, compared to the previous step by step, after this time, he was quite scheming to set a trap on Mu Qingfeng's chess road, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he never expected that Mu Qingfeng seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he could always save the predicament that seemed to be powerless to struggle, Zhao Linrui was vigorous all the way, brave and fearless.

Mu Qingfeng was not in a hurry, his expression did not change at all, and the chess game was controlled by him to show a harmonious atmosphere, one advance and one retreat, regardless of high and low.

Suddenly, Zhao Linrui's brows tightened, just because he realized that he was attacking too fiercely, neglecting his defense, and showing weakness. But Mu Qingfeng did not take the opportunity to take advantage of it. On the contrary, he fought against the most arrogant situation.

After several battles, Zhao Linrui had no place to continue to fight and attack, and wanted to turn around and consolidate his defense, but at this time, Mu Qingfeng did not let him get his wish, and locked on the weakest part of the other side's defense at a glance, and his eyes were full of gloom.

did not leave Zhao Linrui a chance to breathe, a few assassinations, Zhao Linrui's momentum was eliminated, Zhao Linrui's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and finally eased down, and saw Mu Qingfeng stabbing towards his chess quickly, like a thunderbolt, wanting to retreat, but found that the chess pieces that he originally thought were insignificant had become a deadly trap at this time, with a fierce killer in front and an inevitable trap in the back, for Zhao Linrui, there was no way back at this time.

Only then did he realize what kind of strategy the cold-faced man in front of him had.
