The well-prepared chess game was quickly broken, and others heard about it, but they didn't think about the reason, and the first feeling was that the person who set up the chess game was really not capable, so it would be broken so quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With such a level, to challenge a foreign master, no matter who is in his heart, this momentum will be attenuated a lot, and it will also become a burden for Jiang Yi, when he adds additional pressure.

So the best choice is undoubtedly to retreat again, at least until Chen Zhi arrives in Linyi before making a decision.

When Jiang Yi heard this, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Since I have already hit the road, there is naturally no reason to retreat, not to mention that I still got a letter of help when I went north this time, if I am afraid and don't go, then what kind of person will I become?" ”

When Jiang Hu heard this, he already understood his young master's plan, sighed secretly in his heart, and responded.

And just like that, the convoy headed north.

Time passed, and when evening fell, Chen Zhi's convoy settled in a village and town.

"Rest in this town for one night, and before noon tomorrow, you will be able to arrive in Linyi." Zuo Qing made an introduction for the first time, and then the team dispersed.

This village and town is not big, but it is not far from the official road, and the travelers and merchants do not know how many, so there is no shortage of inns, and even many households will build their own houses and vacate a few rooms, especially when the number of people who come and go every year, take them out to give people accommodation, in order to earn some money and goods.

Recently, because of the Xingtan Debate, the Wang Family Literary Association, etc., there are so many people coming and going from the south to the north that this town has already been overcrowded, and when they arrived, there were no empty guest rooms at all.

It's just that as soon as they heard Chen Zhi and others report their home, many people took the initiative to let out the room, Chen Zhi and others couldn't be too cheeky, and after some negotiations, they took two rooms, planning to sleep in one room, and after one night, they would go on the road again.

Then, there was an endless stream of visits, and when the entertainment was over, the night was already late.

"It's really not a good thing that this reputation is too big, Brother Chen, I finally understand why you practiced martial arts and boiled your body diligently before you set off, it turned out to be to deal with such a scene."

When he returned to the room, Liu Gang breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the seat, if the Liu family members saw it, they would inevitably count him down, saying that he had no manners.

However, Liu Gang was really tired at this time, because those who came to visit were more chaotic than Kaiyang County, and it really took a lot of energy.

"Brother Liu, no matter what you say, it's just incidental, Brother Chen is the master, you see that he still looks calm and relaxed, but you have become like this, I think you really picked a time to work hard." Lu Ying shook his head slightly, and as he spoke, he knelt down and sat down, his posture was standard, but if someone stood behind him, he could see that his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Chen Zhi and the others also sat down at this time, and a few people were about to say something, so they slept peacefully, and the newly joined Zuo Qing, Zhou Yan, and Lu Jing were not here.

But before he could speak, there was a quick knock on the door.

Then, without waiting for Chen Zhi and the others to react, the door was pushed open, and a person came in.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and they all recognized it as one of Zhao Xing's servants, and then they all became puzzled, because this person was quite stable in the past, but now not only did he push the door recklessly, but there was a trace of panic on his face, and when he came to the house, he didn't even care about greetings, so he came to Zhao Xing's side and lowered a note to go over.

Zhao Xing took it with a puzzled face, took it away and took a look, his face changed immediately, and even sweat flowed down his forehead.

Other people looked at him, they were all puzzled, on weekdays, Zhao Xingke was Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, at this time, because of a note, his expression changed drastically, and the content of it made people curious.

However, Zhao Xing didn't say it, and it was not easy for others to ask.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing didn't mean to hide it, and directly handed the straight jump to Chen Zhi, and then looked at the person with a solemn expression, and whispered: "Everyone, the king of the East China Sea has gone to Kim Yong City." ”

"What Kim Yong Cheng?" Liu Gang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, followed by a pang in his heart, then his eyes widened, and finally he gasped, and the whole person was stunned in place.

The reaction of the other people was not as strong as his, but their expressions changed greatly, and even Chen Zhi frowned after reading the content of the note, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Kim Yong City, a small city in the corner of Luoyang, the imperial capital, was originally nothing special, but now all the royal families who have lost power will be relocated to live inside, and now there are several concubines and queen mothers living in it, the most famous of which is the abolished prince Liu Qi.

The deposed prince was the eldest son of the first emperor, who was later deposed and renamed King of Hejian, but he never returned to his fiefdom and lived in Kim Yong City.

Therefore, this Kim Yong City is a cold palace for the royal family.

As the son of Xuanwu, the king of the East China Sea is naturally a royal family with strong roots, and he entered Kim Yong City, and the political significance of this can be known regardless of whether asked.

Tao Ya came back to his senses from his surprise, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice, "Why is it that all of a sudden, the King of the East China Sea will enter Kim Yong City?" Something is too wrong, he is the king of the East China Sea, but he is in power! Is this news true or fake? ”

Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "I only have such a note here, but when I left Beijing, I agreed with my family that once there is any major event, I will send the news as soon as possible, but the detailed content will definitely not be written on it to prevent extraneous branches, judging from the marks in my heart, it is not fake." ”

"Such news is enough to shock the court, I don't know what it represents." Even Lu Ying, who didn't have much thought in his career, showed worry after hearing the news.

Tao Ya frowned and said: "During this period of time, all kinds of news can be described as surging, first Wuxiang Hou led the army to the north, and then was suddenly removed, and then Wuxiang Hou returned to the court, and now the military affairs in the north do not know what happened, but the court first broke out such news, or this kind of thing, alas, ......"

Liu Gang suddenly said: "Since it was after the Marquis of Wuxiang returned to the dynasty, the king of the East China Sea suddenly entered Jin Yong City, is there any connection between these two things?" Brother Zhao, I don't know if there is any news related to Wuxianghou in your news? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed, and their eyes fell on Zhao Xing, who could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and said: "These are just speculations, if you want to say what you have to say, you really can't say, you can only continue to wait for news at the moment." ”

Chen Zhi asked at this time: "Then Brother Zhao, are you going back?" ”

Zhao Xing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This matter is just to inform me of this, let me pay attention here, whether I go or not will really have no impact on the overall situation, so I don't have to go back." ”

Chen Zhi smiled: "That's it, this court matter is far away in the sky, and it has little to do with us, so don't take it to heart, or think about the upcoming cultural meeting, this is the top priority." ”

He saw a few people frowning, so he comforted them.

"Actually, I have learned something recently, before the king of the East China Sea, there were not two princes who were in power, and now one has returned to the fiefdom, and the other is also in Kim Yong City, but the change in the court, I am not aware of it in Pengcheng, so it can be seen that the changes in this court will not affect the place."

The prince mentioned in Chen Zhi's words was not made up, and when others heard it, they were slightly relieved.

However, Chen Zhi, who said these words, was not at ease in his own heart.

"The current changes can only be regarded as coups and d'état, which do not affect the localities on the surface, but the changes in the court will inevitably bring about the recurrence of policies, and this impact will not emerge immediately, but it will definitely eventually affect all parts of the regime."

When everyone fell asleep and blew out the lights, Chen Zhi was still thinking about it.

"Besides, from what I know so far, there have been several political changes in the last few years, which is not a good momentum, and now it is only political subversion, and if it develops into a military battle in the future, it will not be a fun thing."

With this thought in mind, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the convoy restarted in the send-off of the townspeople, and the interest of everyone in the car had decreased a little, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

Zhou Yan and Lu Jing didn't know why, so they had the heart to ask, but because the relationship was not enough, they didn't dare to speak rashly.

In this atmosphere, the convoy finally drove into Linyi.

As soon as you enter the area, the villages and towns along the way seem to be in order, and even the farmers who work in the fields seem more relaxed than in other places.

"It is worthy of being the foundation of the Wang family, and it already has a bit of Jiangnan atmosphere."

Seeing such a scene, the solemn atmosphere in the car faded a little, and Lu Ying even commented on it.

Walking forward, the crowd is also dense, compared to Kaiyang County, but there is no such lively taste, but a little more indifferent, and the pedestrian is even more unhurried.

In addition, there are many people who look like they have practiced kung fu walking on the streets.

"I'm afraid these people are rangers and the like, right? Descendant of the Mohist branch. What Liu Gang noticed was these practices, because in Kaiyang County, you can hardly see this kind of character, but there are many gathered here.

Zuo Qing on the side explained: "The Wang family has a lot of advocacy, so the atmosphere in the territory is relaxed, so this kind of ranger also often comes, and now there is a cultural meeting, of course they will not miss it." ”

"Interesting, it's an eye-opener again." When Liu Gang heard this, he showed an interested look.

As a result, before the convoy entered Linyi City, there was a sudden commotion behind the convoy, and a group of people rushed over, shouting as they walked: "Defeated!" Defeated! Jiang Yi, the son of one word, lost two games in a row, and now he can't stop the way of the little prince of the Huns, get out of the way, the little prince has gone! ”

This group of people surged like a violent wind, and in the blink of an eye, the shouting words entered the city, making Tao Ya and the others look at each other.

"Jiang Yi, defeated?"
