The capital is covered with snow.

And because it was dark, the snow everywhere seemed even colder, as if it was like a man-devouring beast.

In one house, brightly lit, a middle-aged man and a young man sat opposite each other.

On the table in front of them, there was a chessboard, the chess pieces were in black and white, and it was obvious that the battle was at its most intense.

"You say, someone wants to compete with me?" The middle-aged man gently dropped a sunspot, and then looked at the man in the suit on the side.

When the man in the power suit heard this, his face showed indignation, and he said, "Yes, that madman named and competed with you, I don't know what to do." ”

"Who is he? Is it a member of the Grandmaster League again? Hearing this, Mo Qiubai continued to look at the chessboard in front of him, and asked nonchalantly.

"He calls himself Li Si, not a member of the Grandmaster League." The man in the suit replied.

Hearing this name, the young man opposite Mo Qiubai frowned slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Sensing the young man's expression, Mo Qiubai frowned, waved his hand, and let the man in the suit go out, then looked at the young man and asked, "What, Zhang Gongzi, do you know this person?" ”

"Yes, speaking of which, he also lived in the same yard as me." Hearing the inquiry, Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, and then took off the white piece on the side and landed on the chessboard.

"Oh?"

Mo Qiubai was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he groaned and said, "How about I let him live when the time comes?" ”

His martial arts at this time are no longer what they used to be, even the Dao Sword Han Feng can't make a few moves under him, so he doesn't care much about the people who come to the door.

According to his thoughts, if he wanted to kill this man, he wouldn't need a single move.

"No, you don't." Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Didn't you enter the palace this time and prepare to be the dean of the Martial Academy?" In this case, this person might as well stay at the banquet after the test. It just so happens that the people of the Grandmaster Alliance are not coming now, isn't it just right for you to take him to Liwei? ”

"This ......" Hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Mo Qiubai couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling, how could this person even calculate his friends?

Seeing his expression, Zhang Yuan smiled and lowered his voice: "All this is for the benefit of the son." ”

Then he paused, tapped his index finger on the chessboard twice, and said, "It's your turn." ”

Hearing Zhang Yuan's goodness, Mo Qiubai also came back to his senses, continued to look at the chessboard, and immediately frowned.

Then, with a sigh, he said, "I lost." ”

After saying that, he threw the chess pieces into the chess jar.

"I conceded." Zhang Yuan smiled and said.

Mo Qiubai waved his hand, then groaned, and said, "Thank you Zhang Gongzi for your plan this time, the matter of the Martial Academy is almost complete." ”

"Cheng?" When Zhang Yuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's too early, do you remember the squire of the military department we saw last time?" ”

"Oh? What happened to him? Mo Qiubai frowned and asked suspiciously.

According to the last time he saw it, the squire of the military department should have become a puppet of himself and others, how could there be an accident?

Moreover, this time it was done, and it was also a credit to the squire of the military department.

"Look at it." Zhang Yuan smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Mo Qiubai.

After taking the letter, after Mo Qiubai opened it, his brows gradually wrinkled tighter and tighter, and then he slapped the table angrily and said: "This person is simply a beast, how can he even do it to his wife and children." ”

Then he took a long breath, looked at Zhang Yuan, felt a little uneasy, and asked Chi Chi, "Then what should we do?" If he fights back, we will inevitably be wanted by Wei, have you sent someone to protect his brother's wife and children? ”

At this time, he could only pin his hopes on Zhang Yuan.

"Not really." Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and then said: "But you don't have to care about this, as long as this Xiong Shilang is dead, after all, he has already done his job, isn't he?" He has no value now. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled: "What's more, his death will only be good for us, there is no harm, we will push his death to the Grandmaster Alliance, but it will be easier to promote the plan of the Martial Academy." ”

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Mo Qiubai thought slightly, and then a cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, this Zhang Yuan was afraid that when he was calculating the squire of the military department, he had already calculated this step.

The death date of this Xiong Beiyuan has long been set.

However, although it will be Xiong Beiyuan who died this time, he still couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, the depth and viciousness of this scholar's scheming were the only ones he had seen in his life.

And at this time, Zhang Yuan slowly stood up and said, "This matter will be handed over to you, after all, this kind of thing can only be done by you." And you don't want me to do this kind of thing as a weak scholar. ”

Speaking of the back, there was already a joke in his tone.

This made Mo Qiubai relax a lot.

Zhang Yuan's words also reminded him that this scholar was just a powerless person in the final analysis.

If he wants to kill Zhang Yuan, he only needs one move, so he doesn't need to be so defensive against this scholar.

It was at this time that Zhang Yuan walked up to Mo Qiubai, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't worry, you are different from him, he is not a son himself, and his personality is two-faced, so I have always wanted to treat him as a disposable tool."

And you are the confidant of the son, and you will be of great use in the future. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed faintly and laughed at himself: "Of course, it is understandable that you are guarding against me, people who know my ability to calculate people are afraid of me, but this is also my way of survival, if I can, I also hope to have a friend who can make friends." ”

Between the tones, there was a sense of loneliness.

Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Mo Qiubai was also silent, although he had peerless martial arts, but when he met this person, he would also have defensive thoughts in his heart.

Therefore, it is natural to guess what kind of life Zhang Yuan has lived in the past.

At this time, he felt sympathy for Zhang Yuan in his heart.

"Okay, I'll go back, don't forget the matter of Xiong Shilang." Zhang Yuan sighed, waved his hand, and walked out of the room.

Looking at Zhang Yuan's figure gradually moving away, Mo Qiubai's eyes gradually deepened, and then he looked at the chess game in front of him, picked up a chess piece, and said in a low voice: "You'd better not calculate me, otherwise I will kill you." ”

The words are low, but full of murderous intent.

At this time, the chess pieces in his hand gradually cracked.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

And it was at this time that there was a knock on the door.

Hearing this knock, Mo Qiubai was slightly stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

After speaking, a man in a strong suit cautiously walked in from behind the door.

"Why are you back again?" Looking at this man in a strong suit, Mo Qiubai frowned.

When the man in the strong suit heard this, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "It's the matter just now, I saw that the person was still there, so I didn't say the whole thing." ”

"Oh?" Mo Qiubai was a little strange, then groaned, and said, "Then you tell me the truth about the matter." ”

Hearing Mo Qiubai's words, the man in the strong suit breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, before Li Si left, he said that he came for your son's business. ”

"My son's business?" Mo Qiubai was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly. Then he glanced at the man in the suit and asked in a deep voice, "Then did he say anything specifically?" ”

Hearing this, the man in the suit shook his head and said, "That's not true." ”

Seeing the man in the suit say this, Mo Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief, then he nodded, looked at the man in the suit, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in this matter, and you will go to my housekeeper to receive 50 taels of silver later." ”

"Thank you, Master." Hearing Mo Qiubai's words, the face of the man in the power suit was full of joy.

"Alright, you can get out." Mo Qiubai waved his hand, his face full of appreciative smiles.

Hearing Mo Qiubai say this, the man in the suit nodded, and then left respectfully.

After the man in the suit left, Mo Qiubai's smile gradually converged, and he said to himself: "Li Si......"

Then he slammed it hard, and the chess pieces in his hand were immediately pinched into powder by him and fell from his hands.
