Chapter 198: Chess
So he felt that the days were very dull, even more plain than water.
But he heard the sound of the armor behind him, and the footsteps were very hurried.
His own soldiers hurried over with ugly faces, clenched their fists and saluted: "General, the scout has come to report that there are traces of the sudden people in the north." ”
Bai Congyun turned his head suddenly, his eyes flickered, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "How is this possible?" ”
……
……
Outside the East Palace, it was not the Southern Wu Forbidden Army that was on strict guard, but the Northern Tang Army.
They didn't protect Ji Ruhai, but imprisoned him.
Ji Ruhai's world has always been very small, this palace, the huge Jinling, is everything to him, he is the prince, he can't travel around the world like Ji Ruhai, this is his life, pitiful, not pitiful.
Now, his world is even smaller, just limited to this piece of East Palace, and it doesn't take too long to get from this end to that end.
Qionglou, so the cage.
No one served him, except for the three meals a day sent in by the soldiers of the Northern Tang Dynasty, there was not a single palace maid or eunuch in the entire East Palace, and he was left alone.
He didn't quite understand why Li Zenan didn't come to kill him, but he felt some kind of humiliation, and he thought, maybe Li Zenan despised him enough not to think that he could make any waves.
Nowadays, he doesn't have to do anything every day, he doesn't have to worry about all aspects of Nanwu, except for looking at the scenery of the deserted East Palace, there is nothing else.
Life is really a pool of stagnant water, and I am really a salted fish.
Now, he sits there, with a chessboard, black, and white on the table, all controlled by him.
The sunlight reflected the slender figure into the door.
The man, he's coming.
With a smile on his face, Li Zenan looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Ji Ruhai's head did not rise.
"Play chess." He said.
"Looks like you're doing pretty well." Li Zenan gracefully came to the opposite side of him and knelt down, as if to be his opponent.
"Do you really think so?" Ji Ruhai still didn't look at him.
"Many people have experienced something like you, and they will always have a psychological breakdown, although you are a little depressed, but it is quite bland, which is indeed rare." Li Zenan stared at the chess pieces on the table, as if thinking about the next step of black and white.
Ji Ruhai finally raised his head and glanced at him.
"When I'm in a bad mood, I play chess alone."
"A lot of people want to be winners in life because that makes them feel like they've achieved something, just like you, Li Zenan."
Li Zenan smiled: "Who is not like this?" ”
"So I play chess alone, in this case, black is me, white is also me, whether black wins or white wins, then the winner will be me."
"It's boring enough." There was a faint mockery in Li Zenan's voice.
"Do you think I'm making a fool of myself?" Ji Ruhai looked at him very seriously.
"Isn't it?"
"This is the attitude of life, many times, people need such an attitude, and like you, the ambition is too big, and one day you will stumble."
"Thank you for your warning," Li Zenan picked up a black chess, "In this situation, I will accompany you to play chess." ”
Ji Ruhai sneered.
"After playing this game of chess, you can leave the East Palace, this is not the place you should stay."
Li Zenan said this sentence as if flutteringly, and dropped the black chess.
……
……
"I've lost." Li Zenan looked at the chessboard and set the black pieces aside.
"No, you won." Ji Ruhai seemed to be a little distracted.
Li Zenan smiled: "Yes, you lost, I won." ”
"Why didn't you kill me?" Ji Ruhai asked.
"Want to hear the truth?"
"Of course, even if the truth is a little ugly."
"Because in my eyes, you are not a threat."
"It's really ugly."
"Yes."
"What are you going to do with me after you move out of the East Palace?"
"I'll arrange a palace for you, and you can live out the rest of your life in it."
The topic came to an abrupt end, and the big men of the two big countries seemed to have done everything they could, at least between them, there was no need to do anything else.
Li Zenan stood up and walked outside.
"With your current strength in my Great Wu land, it will be extremely difficult and dangerous to annex cities further south." Ji Ruhai seemed to be speaking bluntly.
Li Zenan paused.
"You don't have to worry about this, and now, this is already my Datang land."
He crossed the Zhumen and walked out.
"General!"
He heard that the soldiers who were imprisoning Ji Ruhai outside the East Palace were saluting someone.
Sure enough, General Weiyuan's figure appeared in front of him.
It's just that it seems that this famous general who has made great achievements this time has a very bad face.
"What's wrong?" Li Zenan raised an eyebrow, realizing that something might not be good.
"Your Majesty, the northern Xinjiang is here, and Ashina Qin is making a comeback."
Li Zenan was stunned.
……
……
"Hey, girl, what are you thinking?"
The seventeen-year-old boy sat on a white horse, and asked the beautiful woman who was slightly distracted outside the window as he lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking like a disciple who was molesting women.
Li Xiyun glanced at him and raised her eyebrows: "You look like you're in a good mood?" ”
"I just saw that you were in a bad mood, so I had to find a way to make you happy." Guan Kuo replied honestly, his joy faded, and the rest was a little sorrowful.
Li Xiyun didn't seem to want to say anything more to him, so she didn't say anything else about it.
Li Zenan was the talker, the soldiers of the Northern Tang Dynasty sent them out of Jinling, and they didn't have any other thoughts, the five Changliu palace guards and the remaining palace maids were a lot, but anyway, after coming out of the Changliu Palace, there were only so many old people left, and there was a faint sadness around them.
"I still want to know, how the hell did you get out?" After a long time, Li Xiyun still asked.
"It sounds like you don't want me to come out, are you willing to die in it?"
These two people seem to always have endless fights together, and no one knows if their eight characters are offended.
Fortunately, Li Xiyun didn't want to pursue anything with him, so she just glanced at him lightly.
Guan Kuo felt bored.
"I don't want to talk to you, mainly because you don't understand it."
"Do you know such an institution as the Southern Wu Secret Mansion?" He asked.
Li Xiyun shook the show's head.
She is a woman in the palace, and she knows a little about political things, but she doesn't know much.
"So I don't know how to tell you, in short, the Nanwu Secret Mansion is a very powerful secret agency in Nanwu, almost omnipotent, and was suppressed by Li Zenan, a dog a few years ago......"
