Chapter 225: The Game of the Wise
"You are now the commander of the forbidden army, and my life is in your hands, if you can't do such things, come and see you!" Shi Hu commanded unceremoniously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, can you tell us the general situation of what Wechen has investigated? In this way, Wechen can know how to proceed......"
"Come forward!" Shi Hu beckoned to Wen Cang.
Wen Cang hurriedly walked to Shi Hu's bed, knelt on the ground, and carefully leaned his head over.
The night was dark and the wind was high, the two brothers of the Murong clan sat opposite each other, the dim candlelight reflected on the faces of the two, and there were more than a dozen attendants standing beside them, all of them were silent, waiting for Murong Jun's orders.
"What time is it?" Murong Jun picked up the candle flame and asked calmly.
One of the attendants hurriedly walked to the window, poked his head out to look outside, and said, "Return to Your Highness, it's almost time." ”
"Second brother, it's almost, right?" Murong Ke asked.
"Work in pairs, go out one after another, and don't make any noise!" Murong Jun put down the bamboo stick in his hand and looked at everyone.
"Yes......" everyone nodded.
"Wait!" Murong Jun suddenly stood up and said to the two people standing at the door, "I'll go over first!" ”
The two stood beside them and consciously made way for Murong Jun. Murong Jun was about to open the door, turned to Murong Ke and ordered, "Fourth brother, you are the last to go!" Keep an eye out for the forbidden army at the entrance of the inn! ”
"Little brother understands!" Murong Ke nodded.
At this time, it was the dead of night, Murong Jun walked out of his wing, looked around, and saw that there was no movement, so he gently walked to the wing room to the west.
Murong Jun gently pushed the door open, and by the moonlight through the screen window, he saw that a man in black was already standing in the room.
"The Second Highness is really punctual." The third child turned his face and said with a smile.
"We Xianbei people have always been punctual and trustworthy."
"Why are you alone?" The third child looked behind Murong Jun and asked with a slight frown.
"Wait a while, for the sake of safety, naturally you can't come together, so as not to be detected by the forbidden army outside."
"Your Second Highness is thoughtful and admired."
As soon as the third child finished speaking, the two heard a slight footstep outside, and out of instinctive reaction, the third child suddenly pulled out a dagger and jumped to the door with an arrow.
"Don't be nervous, it's my man." Murong Jun unhurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the third child.
At this moment, two squire-like men crept in.
"Your Highness!" The two men shouted in a low voice.
"Don't make a sound, wait for the others!" Murong Jun commanded in a low voice.
"Yes......" The two looked at the third child standing next to him, holding a dagger, and unconsciously approached Murong Jun, for fear that the person in front of him had bad intentions.
The third child is not a fool, of course he saw what the two attendants were, he couldn't help but sneer, took back the dagger and stood aside, and no longer looked at Murong Jun and the others.
Meanwhile, in a secluded house, Shi Jian was playing chess with Gao Shang, next to a pot of tea, two teacups, and a copper stove lit with sandalwood.
"How's it going?" Shi Jian suddenly asked.
"What is Your Highness talking about?" Gao Shangzhi stopped and asked.
"Naturally, it is a matter of letting Liu Rong carry the black pot."
"It's been arranged." Gao Shangzhi smiled slightly.
"That's good." Shi Jian said unhurriedly.
"I heard that there are several holy decrees in the palace today, I wonder if Your Highness has heard about it?"
"Oh? It seems that the king's news is not well informed enough, so tell me what the holy decree is. ”
"These decrees are actually for one thing."
"It's because of Lao Jiu, right?"
"Your Highness guessed right." Gao Shangzhi smiled and said: "King Qing was transferred to Li Cheng and Yunzhong Tuntian, and his military power was temporarily replaced by You Jian, the secretary of the military department. ”
"It's just two decrees, and there's more."
"Shi Yong went to Yanmen Pass to guard the pass, and Wen Cang took over the position of commander of the forbidden army."
"The old thing's arrangement is really painstaking! It's hard for him! Shi Jian paused and said slowly.
"I heard that this is not His Majesty's idea, but Liu Yuanzhi's!"
"Liu Yuanzhi?" Shi Jian was obviously a little puzzled about this matter.
"Not bad! After that morning, I heard that His Majesty had summoned Liu Yuanzhi in private, and since then he has been sick in bed, so the old minister guessed that Liu Yuanzhi should have said something to His Majesty. ”
"It seems that Liu Yuanzhi has completely become a person from Qingwangfu, and the second child is really busy this time, stealing chickens and rice, and sending the household to Qingwangfu."
"Your Highness, the old minister thinks that in this round, Qingwangfu and Yanwangfu have a draw."
"Oh? How so? ”
"Although the household department has returned to the Qingwang Mansion, the Yanwang Mansion has formed an in-law with the Xihuahou Mansion.
"My lord, you don't know Shi Zhan too well, although the Xihua Hou Mansion and the Yan Wangfu are good friends with Qin and Jin, it doesn't mean that the Xihua Hou Mansion has become a guest of the Yan Wang Mansion."
"Lao Chen can't figure it out, since the two families are going to get married, is it possible that they still have different intentions?"
Shi Jian shook his head, stopped the chess in his hand, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "It is impossible for the Xihua Marquis Mansion to easily participate in the party struggle, unless it is ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless they have been forced to have no way out, Yi Shizhan's temper, these things have nothing to do with him."
"Your Highness is right...... The old minister was taught. Gao Shang nodded in realization.
"Hmm~ My lord, don't just talk, your chess is about to become a dead end!" Shi Jian took a sip of tea, pointed to the chessboard and said to Gao Shangzhi.
"Huh?" Gao Shangzhi reacted at this time, took a serious look at the situation on the chessboard, and only slowly raised his head after a while, and said to Shi Jian: "Your Highness, you are the Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang, and you said a few words to the old minister, which distracted the old minister's attention. ”
"Hahahaha...... Tall man, the chess game is like a battle game, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, this can't blame me! ”
"His Royal Highness struck the west, and the old minister planted ......" Gao Shangzhi stroked his beard and laughed.
At this moment, there were suddenly two gentle knocks outside the door, followed by a man's voice: "Your Highness Qiqi, the Xianbei people have arrived." ”
"Your Highness......"
"My lord, you have to arrange the following things." Shi Jian commanded.
"Your Highness, rest assured!" Gao Shangzhi got up, pushed open a side door in the corner, and quietly walked out.
After Gao Shangzhi left, Shi Jian glanced at the figure outside the door and ordered, "Please come in, Your Royal Highness Murong Clan." ”
"Yes!"
When the man came to the courtyard, the two brothers of the Murong clan and more than a dozen subordinates were waiting.
"Second Highness, our Royal Highness King Ning is invited."
"Okay, lead the way!" Murong Jun nodded slightly.
"Second brother!" Murong Ke hurriedly grabbed him and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful! ”
"Don't worry!" Murong Jun smiled slightly, and after speaking, he followed the man towards Shi Jian's house.
Murong Jun walked to the door and knocked gently.
"Come in." Shi Jian in the room didn't look up, still looking at the chess game, and said casually.
The door was gently pushed open, and Murong Jun walked in calmly, seeing Shi Jian looking at the chessboard, he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ning is so interested. ”
"Are you still used to living in the inn?" Shi Jian has a white son in one hand and a black son in the other, playing left and right.
Murong Jun smiled, and said as he walked over: "No matter how good Zhao Di is, it is just a cage. ”
"Now that I'm about to get out of this cage, I don't know how His Royal Highness Murong Er feels?"
"A long drought is a rainstorm, that's roughly it." Murong Jun said, sitting cross-legged opposite Shi Jian.
"It's still early, play chess with me for a while." Shi Jian never looked up, and pushed Bai Zi to Murong Jun.
Murong Jun glanced at the chess game, frowned slightly, and said: "Bai Zi is already in a situation of passive defense, His Royal Highness King Ning is testing his chess skills?" ”
Shi Jian couldn't help but feel the same slightly when he heard this, put down the sunspot in his hand, then looked up at Murong Jun and said, "Playing chess is a game of the wise, isn't His Royal Highness Murong Jun interested?" ”
"It's naturally a blessing to be able to play against His Royal Highness King Ning! In this case, then I will accompany His Highness to kill time. Murong Jun looked at the chess game, thought for a moment, and then fell into a white piece.
