"General!" Zhao Yan pushed the car over and shouted with a smug face, the empty on the opposite side that had been killed by him was only one one-legged horse, but he still had a cart and a horse on his side, and this time he found an opportunity to checkmate the other party to death.

"I lost!" Although he has extraordinary chess skills, he can only admit defeat in the face of this situation.

"Haha~, don't be discouraged, let's have another game!" Zhao Yan said with great interest, but the smug expression on his face couldn't be hidden, being able to defeat the extraordinary chess skills of the void also made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Flutter~" Seeing Zhao Yan's proud appearance, Yan Yuru, who was cooking tea on the side, couldn't help laughing, thinking that if it weren't for the eldest brother who let Zhao Yan have a car, a horse and a gun, with Zhao Yan's poor chess skills, I am afraid that he would not want to win the eldest brother when he is old.

Zhao Yan and they have been locked up in the underground palace for almost ten days, after Xu Dezu talked with Zhao Yan and Likong in the main hall last time, he arranged for the three of them to live in a side hall, and there are several small rooms connected to the side hall, usually the three of them live in their own rooms, and they can move freely in the side hall, which is also a very generous treatment.

The days of being imprisoned were really boring, and it happened that Zhao Yan found a pair of chess in the side hall, so he played chess with the empty every day to pass the time, but it was a pity that he was a stinky chess player, but the empty chess skills were extraordinary, and the result was that every time he was abused by the empty, finally today Zhao Yan let the empty let go of half of his chess pieces, and finally won a game.

"It's empty, last time Xu Dezu said that he would arrange a safe place for us, and he wouldn't let the court find it, where do you think he would arrange us?" Zhao Yan asked while playing chess.

"It's hard to say, the power of the Yin Hades Division is very huge, not only has many strongholds in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also has a lot of power in the Liao State and overseas. But I think the biggest possibility is overseas. At this time, Sora also replied calmly while placing the chess pieces.

The so-called Yin Hell Division, that is, the name of the mysterious organization in Xu Dezu's hands, Zhao Yan also learned from Kong. It turned out that the Yin and Underworld Division was originally the Imperial City Division of the Southern Tang Dynasty when the country was not destroyed, and later after the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed. The Imperial City Division protected Li Yu's three sons and fled to the people, but because they had not seen the light, they were renamed the Yin Ming Division, and they have always taken the restoration of the country as the biggest goal.

"Oh? Why overseas? Zhao Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, and the chess pieces in his hand also stopped.

"That's a long story." At this time, he also stopped and sighed, "The king of the county also knows that we are the descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, thanks to the kindness of several ancestors, even after the destruction of the country. There are still many people who want us, which also makes the main force of the Yin Ming Division in the south, and later the Yin Ming Division in order to survive, they started the business of sea trade, and as a result, a large area of land was found overseas, so many people in the Yin Ying Division mentioned that they could build a country overseas, but it is a pity that most of the people are still nostalgic for their homeland, and they also think that the Central Plains is the foundation of the world, so this mention yì did not get the tongguò. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and then added: "However, although the overseas state-building is not clear. However, the large tracts of land and resources overseas still attracted the attention of the Netherworld, and in the previous decades, the Netherworld Division had established a considerable amount of power overseas. There are pirates and maritime merchants, and there are tens of thousands of ships in their hands, so it can be said that even if the power of the Netherworld on land is destroyed, they can flee overseas and seek opportunities to make a comeback, so it seems to me that we are likely to be sent overseas in the future. ”

"With such a lot of power overseas, it's no wonder that Xu Dezu is so confident." Zhao Yan also exclaimed when he heard this, he just asked Zhao Shu to pay attention to sea trade some time ago. Princess Dening had just rushed to Guangzhou, but she didn't expect Xu Dezu and others to start paying attention to the sea decades ago. It's a pity that this power can't be used by the imperial court, otherwise Princess Dening and them will be much easier.

"Actually, for overseas forces. I also have my own plans, do you remember the last time I said that I had already made a choice? At this time, he suddenly spoke, but at this time, his face showed a little helplessness.

"Of course I remember, you said that you have made a choice, and you will not make my second sister sad, but I didn't expect that a few days later, there was a tragedy of being slaughtered in your Xiangji Temple." Zhao Yan nodded at the moment, and at this time he vaguely guessed the empty thoughts.

"Yes, I did make a decision at that time, that is, to find a way to make up for the identity gap between myself and the princess, and the only thing that can do this is to have a strength and identity that is enough for the Great Song Dynasty to face, and the only thing that can help me do this is the overseas power in the hands of the Yin Underworld." He said again, he didn't intend to say these words to anyone, but his plan had failed, and if he didn't say it, he was afraid that he would never have a chance again.

"So you are going to plot against Xu Dezu, and then take over the power in his hands, and then develop the sea power in a different way, and even establish a country overseas, and then propose to the Great Song Dynasty as a fanguo." Zhao Yan then spoke, and he had already guessed all the plans of the empty air.

"Yes, since my mother committed suicide because of that person, there has been no father-son relationship between me and him, plus his methods are too cruel, I don't know how many innocent people have died at their hands, although I am already a monk, but after all, I am also a descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I can't watch him use the power left by the ancestors to do evil, so I have long had the idea of understanding this matter with my own hands, the secret path in the meditation room of Xiangji Temple has also been prepared for him a long time ago, but I have not made up my mind, It wasn't until I met you that day that I finally made a decision, but unfortunately I failed because of a traitor around me. When Sora said the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Big brother, even if that person is not in a hundred ways, but after all, we are children, you can really kill ruthlessly...... Kill him? Yan Yuru said in a trembling voice when she heard this, no matter how much she hated Xu Dezu, she still couldn't treat him as an enemy.

"Hehe, Yuru, don't worry, I don't want to kill him, but I want to design to capture him and force him to hand over the power of the Yin Hell Division, so that I, as the only bloodline of the Xu family, can naturally inherit the position of the leader, and then put him under house arrest overseas, so that although there is no freedom, I will definitely not treat him badly, and I will even give him a pension in the future!" Sora explained with a smile at this point.

"It's a pity that the two of you are too careless, and Xu Dezu has arranged spies around you, otherwise we wouldn't have to fall into this situation." Zhao Yan also shook his head and sighed at this time, but thinking about people like Xu Dezu, they are also a little pitiful, they actually want to arrange spies to their own children, and they are always calculating their own children, what is the meaning of such a person living?

Hearing about the traitor, Likong and Yan Yuru also sighed, being betrayed by people close to them, this feeling was really uncomfortable. But at this moment, I suddenly saw that the door of the side hall was opened, and then Yin Niang and another woman came in with a tray to deliver food, and after putting down the meal, Yin Niang asked the woman to leave first, and she served food to Zhao Yan and them.

"Yin Niang, why don't you have chili peppers today?" Zhao Yan smiled and took the meal handed over by Yinniang and asked, every meal he had was not spicy or happy, and Xu Dezu ordered that he should not be treated badly, so Zhao Yan specially told that every meal should have dishes made of chili peppers.

"Don't blame the county king, during this time, there are more and more people eating chili peppers in the capital, and the chili peppers are only sold in Shangshui Village, and sometimes they have been robbed before they are sent to the vegetable market, and today our people really failed to grab the chili peppers, so we can only grieve the county king!" Yin Niang immediately apologized cautiously, if Zhao Yan was not satisfied, it was likely that the leader would be blamed, and they would not be able to afford to be guilty at that time.

"Haha, I didn't expect chili peppers to be so popular, this is my negligence, you will try to prepare as much as possible in the future, if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, anyway, in a few years later, it is estimated that you can find chili peppers all over the world." Zhao Yan smiled again when he heard this, and seeing that he was not to blame, Yinniang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Zhao Yan beckoned Kong and Yan Yuru to eat together, but just after Kongkong had just taken over the rice bowl, Zhao Yan suddenly pointed at him and asked Yinniang with a smile: "Yinniang, last time your leader said that he would send a woman to Kong, why hasn't there been any movement until now?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan suddenly mention this matter, even with his empty concentration, he couldn't help but snort coldly. Yinniang almost laughed out loud when she heard what Zhao Yan said, but she quickly covered her mouth, and when she saw that Kong was not to blame, she replied: "King Qiyu, I heard that someone seems to have mentioned yì to the leader, Master Likong is the son of the leader after all, and at least he has to hold a decent wedding, so now the dungeon is full of lights and is preparing for the wedding!" ”

"Wedding?" Zhao Yan also showed a surprised expression when he heard this, and Yan Yuru next to him did the same, only the empty snort was a little disdainful, as if he was not surprised by the wedding.

"Who is the bride and what does she look like?" Zhao Yan asked again at this time, he wanted to know what kind of woman was in Xu Dezu's eyes who could be paired with Kong?

"We don't know about this, it is said that the bride was set by the leader himself, but no one has seen it, and it is estimated that only the leader himself knows." Yin Niang also replied with a frown at this time.

"It's strange, the wedding is already being prepared, and the bride hasn't been announced yet, what is this Xu Dezu doing?" Zhao Yan also frowned when he heard this, Xu Dezu always seemed to play cards out of common sense. (To be continued)
