Lou Jing is drinking in the study, he has almost stayed at home in the past few days, there is no way, this time is too sensitive, Bi Shu is inciting the wealthy family of Qi to put pressure on the King of Qi, in order not to anger the sensitive and fragile Han Qi, Lou Jing no longer dares to contact Bi Shu easily.

The old housekeeper suddenly came in and reported: "The head of the family, Bai Mogang, the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, has just submitted a letter and wants to see you." ”

"Bai Mo has already arrived in Linzi? Now the situation is even more complicated. Lou Jing muttered a few words softly, and then instructed the old butler, "You just said that Benxiang is sick, and he is too sick to meet guests." ”

"Whoa." The old butler bowed and exited the study.

Seeing the figure of the old housekeeper go away, Lou Jing sighed lightly and said, "Alas, since Bai Mo has arrived in Linzi, it seems that it is impossible to hide like this anymore, and it is time to make a choice." "Lou Jing is definitely a clever politician, and he knows very well that if he wants to curry favor with both sides of Chu and Han, the final result can only be abandoned by both sides.

Therefore, Lou Jing must make a choice.

At the same time, Qi King Han Qi was frowning at the table full of cases.

These swords are all on the wealthy families of Qi, or the words are jīlie, or the tone is euphemistic, or the direct load, or the clouds cover the fog, but all the sittings only express one meaning, that is, the Qi State should join the Hezong Alliance of the Chu State, and must not join the Lianheng Alliance of the Han State, otherwise it will bring disaster to the Qi State.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and then Zhao Xi's figure had already entered the side hall.

In the Battle of Surabaya, the 150,000 Qi army was wiped out, and almost all the heavy generals in the army such as Xue Ou, Cheng Hei, Lu Qing, and Xu Zhang were killed.

The monarch and the ministers saluted, and Han Qi said: "General, the Han envoy Bai Mo has arrived in Linzi, and I am worried that the Chu envoy Bi Shu will collude with the state minister to his detriment, so you have to send people to closely monitor every move of the Chu camp and the state minister's mansion, and the standing army inside and outside the city must also be ready at any time in case of emergency." ”

Zhao Xi was taken aback and said, "Bi Hui really dares to stab white ink in Linzi?" ”

Han Qi snorted sullenly and said, "General, you think, if Bai Mo dies in Linzi, then our Qi State can only follow the Chu State to the dark, isn't that reasonable?" As for whether the prime minister will collude with Bi Shu, this is just a few speculations, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and you can only be safe if you are prepared, you go. ”

"Well, I'll go back and prepare." Zhao Xi waved his way and took the order.

The chess table has been set up in the Sanli Pavilion in the east of Linzi City, Bi Shu is dressed in white and sits on the left side of the chess table, which is looking at the nineteen chess tables in the vertical and horizontal directions, and I don't know what to think, but Hu Yan is constantly wandering around the pavilion, and his mouth is constantly ordering something to the little colonel of the Heavenly Wolf Wei who is accompanying him.

Taking advantage of the moment when Hu Yan walked into the pavilion, Bi Shu persuaded: "Hu Yan, don't waste that matter, the Sanli Pavilion is a vast wilderness within a radius of several miles, and there is no way to hide people at all, it is useless to let the Heavenly Wolf Guard bring a crossbow, Zhou Guanfu and the Han army hussars will not let your people approach the pavilion, in short, it is impossible to assassinate Bai Mo here." ”

Hu Yan said: "Anyway, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I will have to try it in the end." ”

Bi Shu said: "If you want to try, then try, but I have to warn you, don't get too hopeful." ”

Hu Yan turned around and walked out of the pavilion again, and asked people to dig ten pits not far from the pavilion, and then buried the hand crossbow, and asked the Heavenly Wolf Guard to move the turf from a distance to camouflage the traces, and then returned to the pavilion with a cruel smile, with these ten hand crossbows, if Bai Mo dared to come, then don't think about going back alive. …,

Bi Shu could only smile bitterly, Hu Yan thought that he could kill Bai Mo with a few crossbows, that was really naïve, but this guy is right, no matter what, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, since he is here, don't think about going back to Guanzhong alive, and the descendants of Guigu should also decide the winner.

As soon as Huyan was ready, the Heavenly Wolf Guard came to report that Bai Mo was coming!

Bi Shu and Hu Yan raised their heads when they heard this, and sure enough, they saw that more than 100 Han horsemen had poured out of the east gate of Linzi, and the leading member of the Han army was the champion Hou Zhou Guanfu.

In the face of the surging Han army hussars, Hu Yan waved his hand suddenly, and the wolf guard guarding outside the pavilion flashed out of a passage like a wave, and the Han army hussars rode straight in, Zhou Guanfu did not pull the reins of the horse until the stone steps of the pavilion, and the red dragon horse under the crotch suddenly neighed sadly, and the front hooves stood up.

Strangled the red dragon horse, and blocked the hussar behind him, Zhou Guanfu's eagle-like gaze fell viciously on Bi Shu, who was sitting on the left side of the chessboard, under Zhou Guanfu's gaze full of strong hatred, Bi Shu instantly fell into an ice cave, and he shivered, and an inexplicable chill rose sharply from his heart.

Of course, Hu Yan would not watch Zhou Guanfu threaten Bi Shu, and immediately stepped forward half a step to block Zhou Guanfu's sight, and said with a cruel smile: "Zhou Guanfu, what the hell is pretending to be garlic in front of the old man, just your eyes are big or what?" Hmph, a few months ago under the Tiger Prison, you were considered a fast runner, but this time, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky. ”

Zhou Guanfu was unwilling to show weakness, and immediately said with hunger: "If it weren't for that stupid tiger under the Tiger Prison, you skinny wolf would also want to win the old man?" Dream on! Although Zhou Guanfu wanted to kill Bi Shu to avenge his father, he also knew very well in his heart that as long as the evil wolf Huyan was there, he would not want to get his wish.

Hu Yan smiled and said, "The old man is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, what about your prime minister?" ”

"The prime minister is behind." Zhou Guanfu turned over and dismounted, and said coldly, "But before the prime minister comes to the appointment, the old man has to check this pavilion and the surrounding grass first, but don't follow the way of some villains, hum!" ”

Hu Yan confidently disguised himself well, and said, "Since you can't fucking believe it, then please." ”

Zhou Guanfu immediately took more than a dozen Han army hussars and began to carefully inspect the pavilion and the grass around the pavilion, Hu Yan was used to being a trap on the grassland, and disguised the ten earth pits where the crossbow was hidden without any traces, Zhou Guanfu checked for a long time, and did not find any soil pits, and saw that Zhou Guanfu returned in vain, and the corners of Hu Yan's mouth bloomed with a cruel smile.

However, Zhou Guanfu's next words immediately made Hu Yan angry, Zhou Guanfu said: "Skinny wolf, let your people and the old man retreat to a hundred steps, except for the prime minister and your general, you can only leave you and me!" ”

Hu Yan said angrily: "Why should the old man listen to you? "Withdraw all the Sky Wolf Guards to a hundred paces away, and the hand crossbow buried in the dirt pit is still a fart? He had to stay by the general's side, and he didn't have a chance to get the crossbow at all, not to mention that for him, the crossbow was obviously not as good as the Dumb Moon Sword.

Zhou Guanfu said suddenly: "What, skinny wolf, you shouldn't be afraid of me, right?" ”

"Afraid of you? Joke! Hu Yan was furious when he heard this, pulled out the dumb moon sword and forced Zhou Guanfu, Zhou Guanfu also took off the double iron halberd from his shoulder, and hit each other arrogantly, making a "bang" sound.

"Huyan!" Seeing that the two of them were about to merge again, Bi Shu had no choice but to stop it. …,

Hu Yan had no choice but to put the sword back into the sheath and retreat to Bi Shu's side, and when Zhou Guanfu retreated to a hundred steps away with the Han army hussars, Hu Yan also ordered the Heavenly Wolf Guard to retreat to a hundred steps away, until only Bi Shu and Hu Yan were left in the pavilion, Bai Mo finally appeared, and then walked into the pavilion under the escort of Zhou Guanfu.

"Senior brother, don't come to harm?" Bi Shu sat up on his knees and smiled.

"Senior brother, it's always been good, huh?" Bai Mo knelt down and sat down at the table to make a return salute.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed out loud at the same time, although the two of them are their own masters, although he is likely to divide the victory and defeat in the future, but at least at this moment, both of them only have the joy of reunion after a long absence.

After Bai Mo entered the table, Bi Shulang laughed loudly: "I said that I was going to feast on my senior brother, but my junior brother only prepared a table of chess, with neither wine nor meat, should my brother blame my little brother for being stingy, right?" ”

Bai Mo said with a smile: "Wine and meat are enough, chess is enough." ”

Then Bai Mo found that the chessboard in front of him was a little abnormal, and after a closer look, there were nineteen slots in each vertical and horizontal directions, and he was stunned at the moment and said: "Senior brother, this chessboard seems to be a little different?" ”

Bi Shu smiled slightly, and said implicitly: "Senior brother doesn't know, but this is my king's initiative, my king once said, the chess table is as all-encompassing as the world, only 17 vertical and horizontal grooves, the pattern is too small, so each plus two grooves has become 19 vertical and horizontal grooves, only this change, the chess table has added infinite changes, does the senior brother feel that the momentum is much magnificent?" ”

Bai Mo's heart was slightly cold, but Bi Shu's words implied that the King of Chu was outstanding, but Bai Mo naturally would not weaken his momentum in words, and shook his head with a smile at the moment, and said: "As the junior brother said, the chess table is like the world is all-encompassing, and the so-called Vientiane has certain rules, and the King of Chu has changed it without permission, which is a little arrogant." ”

"Whoa." Bi Shu waved his hand and said, "The so-called rules are used to break, there was no change in the past, how could the soldiers of Qin swallow the six countries?" Now without the revolution of my king, how can I be strong and sweep all the princes? Senior brother is trying to change in Guanzhong, I'm afraid he won't be held back by the old bad rules, right? ”

"The words of the junior brother are still so sharp, and the younger brother is willing to bow down." Bai Mo smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, then let's play against each nineteen slots, the little brother is the senior brother, and the etiquette should be the first." As soon as the words landed, Bai Mo moved the chess basket containing the white pieces to himself, and according to the rules at this time, white came first.

"Hey, as a senior brother, you should be polite and let your junior brother be." Bi Shu knew the importance of holding the white first, and unceremoniously snatched back the chess basket containing the white pieces...... ）
