Chapter Ninety-Five: The Chaos Chess Game
Seeing the figures of the two of them gradually disappear, he turned around and walked in, and this time, Mu Xiu followed him in. Seeing Li Yiqian pick up the pen, Mu Xiu helped to sharpen the ink on the side.
"You go, let the people of the Dragon Emperor quietly send this letter to Gongsun Ce, he will naturally know what to do when he sees it."
After writing it, Li Yiqian gave the things to Mu Xiu, and he knew what to do. Mu Xiu took the letter and walked towards the secret passage of the Qiangong.
Lan Guo envoy's office, in Gongsun Ce's room. Looking at the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him, even if there was no one else in the room at this time, Gongsun Ce did not panic in the slightest, because he was holding a token in his hand, and the Emperor of Huaguo said that it was exclusive to his people.
"What did the Emperor of Huaguo ask you to come to find Lone?" Gongsun Ce looked lazy, and did not sit upright, just half-leaned back in the chair and asked casually.
"The master said that you will know it naturally after reading this letter." With that, the man in black handed over the letter.
Gongsun Ce opened the letter, but it didn't say any useful information, just asked him to meet in the wing room of the teahouse. Gongsun Ce thought about it and agreed: "Go back and tell him that Lone will go to the appointment on time." ”
Hearing his words, the man in black bowed and left, just like when he came, leaving no trace.
After Li Yiqian received Gongsun Ce's reply, his heart was much more steady. This time, they mainly took advantage of the time difference of information, as long as the matter was settled before the reception banquet, then this is a sure fact, and there will be no more accidents.
After lunch, Shen Shi arrived quickly. Li Yiqian changed his clothes, simply changed his appearance, and took Wen Lin out of the palace from the secret road. The destination is clear, it is the teahouse.
"You're here, and the guests are already waiting for you." When the shopkeeper saw Wen Lin, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Are you ready for what I want?"
"It's all in the room as you commanded."
"You go get busy, let's just go up by ourselves." Li Yiqian motioned for him to ignore them, and walked to the door of his fixed box with Wen Linjing, "You stay outside and don't let anyone in." ”
Then he knocked on the door, heard the sound of an invitation to enter, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as Li Yiqian entered, he saw that only Gongsun Ce was sitting there in the room, holding a book in his hand that he didn't know what it was. While sipping tea, read a book. Hearing that he didn't put down the things in his hand, Gongsun Ce glanced at Li Yiqian lightly, and then focused on the book in his hand again.
Seeing that it was a stranger who came in, Gongsun Ce didn't feel strange, if he could see him with his real identity at any time, Emperor Hua probably wouldn't let people secretly send him a letter. So it's normal to see him go out at this moment.
"Prince Ce is really interested, it seems that the tea in this teahouse is very much to your liking." Li Yiqian was not annoyed when he looked at his attitude, not saying that he had locked him up for so long before, just saying that he would not be angry with him if he asked for someone this time. Besides, even if the two of them are now in a cooperative relationship, it is understandable for Gongsun Ce to vent the grievances he suffered at the beginning, it is better than stabbing him in the back on key matters.
"Lone doesn't know how to taste tea, but I just heard the shopkeeper here say that this is a unique tea in Huaguo so I drank two more cups. Huahuang will not even be reluctant to let this little tea be used alone. Gongsun Ce said with some yin and yang weirdness. He just couldn't swallow the breath he had at the beginning, although cooperating with Li Yiqian would bring him great benefits, but the two parties were on an equal footing and voluntarily signing the agreement was very different from being coerced to sign the agreement, especially for a person of his status, it was simply his shame.
Moreover, only a few days after he went back, Emperor Hua had a secret conversation with him in private, and it is very likely that he had asked for himself, so wouldn't it be sorry that he was locked up for so many days if he didn't get his grievances out at this time. Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce felt more and more that his approach was advisable.
"How so? If the prince likes it, when you leave for Languo, I will have someone prepare some for you to take home. Li Yiqian seemed to know Gongsun Ce's thoughts, so he didn't get too moved by his words, just smiled and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Li Yi was as stable as Mount Tai, Gongsun Ce also knew that he was a little unreasonable. At that time, they were already on the opposite side, and Li Yiqian's people didn't treat him badly after they caught him, but they just restricted their freedom. Later, after they reached an agreement, Li Yiqian even relaxed his supervision a lot. Come to think of it, he doesn't have so many complaints.
Besides, Li Yiqian's attitude just now is already obvious, I'm afraid he won't take anything he says to heart. In that case, why bother to say more, make yourself angry in vain. Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce put down the book, looked at Li Yiqian, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "I don't know what the Emperor Hua has to do today to find Gulai?" ”
Li Yiqian was not surprised that Gongsun Ce could figure these things out so quickly. He was able to endure in the hands of Gongsun You for such a long time, and he was able to come to Huaguo, not only by luck, but also by this person's scheming and temperament.
"There's something that the prince needs to help with." Li Yiqian knew that Gongsun Ce's side was not clean now, and there must be people watching Gongsun You, and not appearing in front of them for a long time might arouse suspicion. didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly said the purpose of the trip.
After Gongsun Ce heard his words, he glanced at Li Yiqian with some ridicule. "I didn't expect Huahuang to be such an infatuated person, and he would rather lie and deceive the world for the sake of his sweetheart."
After being the emperor for so long, Li Yiqian has long become moody. Being joking about this kind of thing by him, even if there is some shame in his heart, he hides it very well. "If one day the prince meets someone he wants to be with for the rest of his life, he will naturally be able to understand my feelings." Li Yiqian said this with a smile on the corner of his mouth, different from the polite smile on weekdays, this smile carried obvious happiness.
Gongsun Ce scoffed at this, not that he didn't believe that there was true love in the world, but that the environment in which he lived didn't allow him to think about it, both in the past and in the future. In the past, he was just Gongsun You's confinement, and he didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing. In the future, he will be the emperor of Lan Kingdom, and at that time, it is even more unlikely that he will be desperate for one person.
But at this time, Gongsun Ce obviously didn't expect that there is a word in this world called accident, which will change the trajectory of many people's lives. He would never have thought that one day, he would give up everything he originally had at his fingertips for the sake of one person.
Li Yiqian didn't say much about Gongsun Ce's disdain, because love is "like a person drinking water, knowing the warmth and coldness", and it is useless for others to say more.
"Is it possible that the prince of Ce has thought of any chess game that is difficult to crack?" Li Yiqian was not in the mood to talk to Gongsun Ce about his heart today, so he quickly ended the topic and asked him about business.
Gongsun Ce lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "Emperor Hua can solve the chaos chess game?" ”
"Chaos?" Li Yiqian thought about it and shook his head. Although he has gradually begun to learn the things of those literati after his rebirth, he is still much worse than those literati families. Coupled with Huaguo's atmosphere of emphasizing military force for many years, what he can learn is also a minority. So this kind of method that can be called a famous endgame of the previous dynasty, he naturally doesn't know. And the people of Lan Province have always had a preference for these strange things, and it would not be surprising to say that they have a secret of how to solve this endgame.
"Legend has it that the Chaos Chess Game was left by the two great Confucians of the previous dynasty, and there are very few people who know how to crack it. Presumably, there are many people in China who know about this chess game, but those who know how to break the game should count it on one hand. "It's not that Gongsun Ce looks down on Huaguo, but it's true, even Li Yiqian, the emperor, has nothing to refute.
"Will you break?" Li Yiqian looked at Gongsun Ce curiously.
"Of course. There is a record of the royal family in the Arashi Kingdom, which I saw when I was a child, and I studied it for a while. Seeing that he was finally able to suppress Li Yiqian, Gongsun Ce was secretly proud in his heart.
"In this case, then there is the prince of Lautze." Li Yiqian bowed his hand to him and expressed his gratitude.
"Emperor Hua is serious, since you and I are an alliance, then there is no need to scruple so much." Gongsun Ce also knew what kind of situation he was in at the moment, so he didn't talk nonsense, he directly took the chess pieces that were put aside, and set up a chaotic chess game casually. In a few moments, he was set up. After that, he was not in a hurry to break the game, but watched Li Yiqian explain the key points of breaking the game.
"Because the chess moves of both sides are irregular, completely arbitrary, hence the name Chaos. The key to predicting this situation lies in the word 'break', taking a long-term plan, breaking and then standing. It is like a phoenix nirvana, reborn from the ashes. Seeing Li Yiqian thinking thoughtfully about his words, Gongsun Ce waited quietly.
"Please." Li Yiqian figured out the meaning of his words, but he still needed time to practice it in specific operations. At this time, I can only write down this method of cracking first, and then savor it after returning to the palace. Fortunately, maybe it's the reason for the superposition of the memories of the two lives, and his memory in this life is surprisingly good, even if it's not unforgettable.
This time, Gongsun Ce was not as casual as when he set up the formation before, and every move was very slow, as if he wanted Li Yiqian to better understand the intention. Li Yiqian watched as the number of chess pieces on the chessboard increased, and the situation on the chess board became more and more distinct, completely losing the "chaotic state" at the beginning. His eyes grew brighter and brighter.
When the last son was settled, Li Yiqian came out with three "wonderful" words. It's really worthy of the endgame posed by the great Confucians of the previous dynasty, and it really can't be cracked by people like them with average chess skills.
