Chapter 144: Chess Pieces
Nameless returned to Xichu in a carriage, he was helped into the palace gate by lightning, and he still had a sad face on his face and didn't like to talk to people, lightning asked him a question, and he would not say more than ten words in a sentence.
"Alliance leader, we have arrived in Xichu."
"Hmm."
On the contrary, this made Lightning even more worried, but he didn't know what to do, after all, he couldn't guess Nameless's mind.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, the king of the south and the prime minister were already waiting there.
King Nan and the prime minister looked at each other, and neither of them wanted to be the first to speak, but King Nan opened his mouth.
"Mr. Nameless, the king has asked the two of us to wait for you here, and the king is waiting for you in the main hall at this time, and please get up now."
Nanwang looked official, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Nameless thought to himself, maybe something is going to happen again, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong.
Nameless walked up, but Lightning followed but was stopped by the Prime Minister.
"Little Brother Lightning, our king said that only Mr. Nameless will go alone, you and I will go to have some fasting and rest for a while, and wait for Mr. Nameless."
The prime minister stretched out his hand to stop the lightning, spoke with a pleasant face, and led the way to the lightning.
The two of them divided into two ways like this, Lightning followed the prime minister, and Nameless followed King Nan to see Su Xiao.
On the way, Nanwang asked some parents about their shortcomings.
"Who is Mr. Nameless? It doesn't look like a Western Chu person. โ
Nanwang walked to the road as if he suddenly asked casually.
"I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I am not in any country."
Nameless replied lightly, he always felt that King Nan must have the intention of King Nan to ask like this.
"Oh, that strange Mr. Unknown has such a dusty temperament, it turns out that he is a fairy-like character, and there is no place for you."
Although Nanwang was complimenting Nameless, the unclear meaning in his eyes became deeper and deeper, such an old fritter who had been in the court and the opposition for many years must also be a treacherous and cunning person, although he looked so amiable and polite on the surface, but no one looked down on what calculations he had in his heart.
Nameless didn't respond, just continued to follow King Nan, he knew that King Nan was testing him, testing whether he was loyal to Xichu, but he was born nameless and had no feelings for any country, and even said that he didn't belong to any country.
Nameless is just a person, if the new king of Western Chu is not Su Xiao, and even if Western Chu is defeated in the future, it has nothing to do with him, he will only hang high, it is not his business, maybe there can be a trace of pity, but it is just some painless sympathy.
The whole palace is also big, and I haven't found the main hall after walking for a long time.
"Mr. Nameless, what are you doing when you go out of the palace this time, if you go out to play, I will also recommend to the old man where it is suitable for sightseeing."
King Nan stroked his long white beard and talked about the topic again, his tone was calm and a little warm.
"Just to see a friend."
Nameless still didn't show too much emotion, said very little, and covered his heart from time to time along the way, and his heart was still stuffy and a little painful.
"Mr. Nameless, what do you think of our Xichu?"
Nanwang didn't care how cold the person on the other side was, he still talked to himself, and his speech was still kind.
"Great rivers and mountains, the country and the people."
Nameless can be summed up in just a few words.
This is indeed the current situation of Western Chu, but this is only on the surface, because of this great rivers and mountains, the country and the people's peace, so Western Chu will be regarded by Sheng Guo as a thorn in the flesh and even meat on the sticky board.
"That's just a thing of the past, the current form of Xichu is not good, if Xichu is really so good in the eyes of Mr. Nameless, can Mr. Nameless be willing to stay here?"
Nanwang smiled when he heard this, that smile was a little more sad, he still showed a little meaning, he knew that now Xichu needed to be nameless, and even Shengguo needed it.
Nameless is a genius who is both civil and military, and he is also a must for the use of soldiers, and he is also the top master in the rivers and lakes, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the people he can summon are all the people in the rivers and lakes.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so these people may become Xichu's hole cards.
"If you go or stay, it depends on the king's wishes."
Nameless can feel the heart of the Southern King who is worried about the country and the people, but he can't guarantee anything, after all, his opponent is Yelu Nanfeng, and Xichu's opponent is the wild wolf Shengguo of Mobei, and no one knows who the winner of this battle is.
The main hall has arrived.
Nameless was helped by the king of the south to walk up the high steps one step after another, the king of the south can be said to be one person under ten thousand people, but now such a person who can be regarded as a powerful person can support a person in the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as able to stretch and bend.
"Mr. Nameless, go in first, and the old man can only accompany you here."
King Nan helped Nameless to the door, and had to retreat.
"Thank you."
Nameless clenched his fists and thanked King Nan, and then entered the door, catching a glimpse of Su Xiao fiddling with a few chess pieces.
When Su Xiao looked up and saw that Nameless had come and didn't speak, and lowered his head to fiddle with the chess game that had been arranged, Nameless stood in the distance and felt Su Xiao's coldness.
Nameless leaned against the wall and walked next to Su Xiao, looking at the chess game in front of Su Xiao, the chess game was very chaotic, the chess game was divided into two sides, the white chess was divided into white chess, and the black chess was divided on the other side, and the entire chessboard was placed together.
This is a chess game, it is obviously black and white.
"Master, you said this chess game is messy, right?"
Su Xiao finally spoke, but he asked a question knowingly.
"It's not messy, it's not a chess game."
Nameless frowned.
Su Xiao stretched out his hand and took out a black piece and swapped it with a white chess piece on the other side, and the original white piece was thrown into the urn containing the chess piece.
"Why do you think there's a black piece mixed in this white chess piece? Master, you know what I mean, right? โ
Su Xiao obviously didn't mean to drink, he took the chess game as an example, he was the white chess piece and Yelu Nanfeng was the black chess piece, and the black chess piece mixed into the white chess piece refers to "nameless".
"You've confused Master, Master doesn't understand, Master also has a lot of things he doesn't understand, you say? Xiaoxiao. โ
Nameless pretended to be confused, and reached out to touch Su Xiao's head, completely ignoring that Su Xiao was already a high king, but Su Xiao tilted his head and dodged.
"Lone thought you would confess to Lone, nameless."
Su Xiao's face was full of vigilance, his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he stared coldly at Nameless.
Su Xiao called Nameless this time, and called him by his name, he was really no longer an apprentice who followed Nameless, he was the king of the world.
Nameless listened to those words and froze directly, how could they be so alienated from each other......
"Nameless, you came out of the door of Xichu, do you think Lone won't go to find out where you went? The people at the city gates everywhere are not blind, they can see that you are going to Shengguo, if you guess well, it is the invitation of Yelu Nanfeng. โ
Su Xiao pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at the nameless white and long neck.
Nameless held his breath and remained motionless, without the slightest struggle, if he died in the hands of Su Xiao, it would not be impossible.
"Nameless, why do you look like you're going to die? You know that Yelu Nanfeng and Lone's blood feud are deep, why do you have to insist on going? Didn't you say - will you help me well? โ
Su Xiao became more and more excited as he spoke, and the sword had already cut off some of the skin on the nameless neck, and there were already blood stains and scratches.
"But I can't help ......"
Nameless didn't have any struggle, he didn't regret saving Yelu Nanfeng, if he didn't save it, he would really regret it.
"Lone knows that Yelu Nanfeng is your nameless best brother, best friend, confidant, and relative, what about Shi Fengyue? What about Yun Xuehua? How can they not be lonely friends, confidants, good brothers and even relatives? When you say this, what about the lonely sister? What about the soldiers of Western Chu? What about the people of Li in Xichu? โ
Su Xiao threw down the sword in his hand, and with a wave of his sleeve, he pushed down the chess pieces on the chessboard, and all the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard fell to the ground.
That question, accompanied by the moistness and redness in the eyes of the young king, resounded throughout the entire hall.
"Xiaoxiao, the teacher has nothing to do with him anymore, and he just went to say goodbye, and now the teacher will do his best to help you, and there is no second heart."
Nameless wiped his tears for Su Xiao in distress, but the stubborn young king's tears never fell.
Su Xiao pushed Nameless away to a distance, and with a slight panic, he raised his sword again to face Nameless, who was his former mentor, he and Nameless were going to come to this point after all.
"Hehe, no two hearts? When you step on two boats, you lose Lone's trust in you, do you think you really can't do it without Lonely? What a joke. โ
As if he had heard some big joke, Su Xiao sneered and raised his eyebrows, never even looking at Nameless.
The nameless words were heard very clearly, and his face was crossed with horror, helplessness, disappointment, sadness, and pain, maybe he never thought that one day even Su Xiao would come to this point with him.
"Lonely used to care that you liked you, but now it's gone, the more you care about you, the more you like you, the more you feel that Lonely can't do without you, if you help your friend stab Lonely in the back that day, then Lonely really regrets it."
Su Xiao said sneering words and picked up the wooden comb he carried with him, raised it in front of Nameless, and threw it to the ground as he spoke.
Nameless is no longer as calm and calm as before, he can no longer turn a blind eye, which is the wooden comb that was thrown away, it is obviously his heart that has been lost.
"Do you care so much now? HahahaโMaster, we may not really be able to go back. โ
The knife in Su Xiao's hand was still being raised, and his body trembled with a smile, and at that moment it seemed to be back to the former Su Xiao, but the next second it became the lonely and suspicious Emperor Wen of Western Chu.
"How could I? Xiaoxiao, listen to my explanation......"
Nameless didn't want to give up his relationship with Su Xiao, he wanted to explain, he wanted to reveal his heart, but Su Xiao obviously didn't want to hear it, and his words were interrupted by Su Xiao before he could finish speaking.
