Chapter 538: Phoenix Star

Day and night struck, and the people standing outside the cave waited for a long time, and even mosquitoes came out and took a few bites.

The more there is no movement inside, the more anxious the people outside become.

The most anxious thing is Kuwu, but Pang Hai looks calm.

I sat for a long time, and even my waist was sore, and I didn't see Emperor Chu come out.

The moon is rising, as Pang Hai said, the stars hold the moon, and the stars tonight seem to be brighter than before.

Hearing Pang Hai say that just now made him very curious about the stars, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't see a clue.

I just feel that the stars are a little brighter than usual tonight.

"Divine doctor, we mortals can't see anything of these mysterious things."

Pang Hai deliberately put the word mortal a little heavier, as if to imply that the Qingdao man was just a mortal, and there was no difference from him.

Kunai chuckled and glanced at Pang Hai's crotch.

Being looked at like this, Pang Hai's old face turned red.

"I'm a little different from Grandpa Hai, don't compare Grandpa Hai with me."

Ku Wu smiled, Rao is Pang Hai, who has been a eunuch for more than 20 years, and his face is red.

Isn't the biggest difference between him and Ku Wu the difference between many roots and few roots?

"Xiao Yuanzi, you have been arching for a long time, hurry up, if this waist is broken, who will serve me?"

Kunai glanced at the motionless Xiao Yuanzi, who had been in this position for several hours, sweat on his forehead, sweating profusely, and even his clothes were wet.

"Yes, that's what the doctor said."

After that, Xiao Yuanzi got up slowly, but he felt pain when he got up after holding his posture for too long, and his waist was not straight.

The whole person seemed to collapse, but he was still smiling.

Although he smiled reluctantly, Kunai was very satisfied with him.

If you can't even endure this hardship, how will you do great things in the future?

The door of the stone cave opened, and Emperor Chu's face was tense, as gloomy as the sky a few days ago, and the haze was dim, like a storm was coming.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

When the two saw Emperor Chu coming out, they stopped bickering and hurriedly greeted him.

Pang Hai followed Emperor Chu's side, and he didn't get close.

Seeing Emperor Chu's worried appearance, he knew that the content of the conversation made Emperor Chu worried, if it was a happy event, Emperor Chu would never have this expression.

"Go back to the palace."

Even his favorite kun didn't pay attention to it, and waved his hand.

Pang Hai raised his throat and shouted loudly: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

The night was dark, and only the stars in the sky were still shining, illuminating the road.

The group of people, with lanterns in their hands, walked down the mountain cautiously.

For fear of bumping into the sedan chair, Kunai followed the sedan car.

It is difficult to walk at night, especially on the way down the mountain, and it is possible to accidentally bump into it.

It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to get down, and now they can realize it.

Inside the cave, the scavengers slowly walked out and looked up at the star that accompanied the emperor star.

The star that had been dim a few months ago was now so dazzling that it overshadowed the light of another phoenix star.

The world is changing, and it's really unpredictable.

It's only been a few months, and I don't know what Fengxing has experienced?

For the first time in several years, there were two phoenixes and two stars in the Chu State, and it was no wonder that the Chu Emperor looked gloomy.

"Tribulation, this is all the calamity of the Chu State."

The scavenger sighed as he put one hand behind his back and touched his beard with the other.

The little guy on the side only understood the word calamity, but he didn't know what these two words meant.

Before he could ask, the scavengers turned and walked towards the cave.

With a twist of the mechanism, the cave slowly closed.

But in the inside, it is still bright, because the moon shines on it.

The blood on the stone plate had turned dark, and the scavenger sighed.

The lantern shone on the ground, and the courtyard of the Yang Mansion was quiet, but the house was lively.

Liu Zixun looked at Xiao Changge, who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, and chuckled.

"I heard that the concubine of the Xiao family, Banmuzi, won the prince, why don't you play a game with this young master today? If you win, Master Ben will order someone to send you back to Beijing and reunite with your family. ”

Liu Zixun had a chessboard in his hand early and was eager to try.

Xiao Changge looked at the person in front of her, which reminded her of Tang Moshu.

This person is somewhat similar to Tang Moshu, but there are also some dissimilarities.

She couldn't figure out what the man's temperament was for the time being.

In the afternoon, he looked like he wanted to kill her, but in the evening, he jumped up and prangled her like a child.

"If you can't play this chess, the young master must send me back, this gamble is meaningless to me."

Xiao Changge looked at Liu Zixun directly and said bluntly.

Indeed, no matter whether Xiao Changge plays this game of chess or not, he must ensure Xiao Changge's safety.

Xiao Changge promised that he would help him become a colt, and he knew how to get into Yongshuo's eyes based on her appearance, so he couldn't move her.

On the contrary, as long as she has the slightest loss, he guarantees that he will not have the slightest chance of being a colt.

To put it bluntly, this banquet is for the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Qi, as long as there are people from these three kingdoms, then he will not have the slightest chance.

He only learned about what happened on the water slope today, and only then did he know that Chu Yu almost overturned the entire Wen water slope in order to find Xiao Changge, and if she sent Xiao Changge back safely, Chu Yu would owe him a personal favor.

Shuangli, why doesn't he?

"If there is no interest, even if you win, it is not fun."

"And what do you mean?"

Liu Zixun raised his eyebrows, listening to Xiao Changge's words proved that he had a chance, but he didn't know what to gamble on.

"If I win, promise me one condition."

Xiao Changge's expression turned cold, and even his expression became a little serious.

"On what terms?"

"This long song hasn't arrived yet, I'll tell you when I think of it."

Xiao Changge's eyes turned, and the light in his eyes was like a fox all the time.

Liu Zixun didn't believe it, she didn't think of it for the time being, she must have thought of something when she said this.

"Do you want Prince Ben to promise you a condition? If he asks for the land of my Liu State and the throne of my Liu State one day, this prince will not be able to give it. ”

Liu Zixun squinted and half-jokingly.

"I'm just a weak woman, what's the use of asking for this? Liu's land is not as big as Chu's, the throne, although I have some interest, but I am a girl's family, the girl is the emperor, since ancient times, not only has no precedent even if she wants to be, who wants to serve a woman in the ministers? ”

Xiao Changge said coldly, there was some allusion to Yang Zhaohua in his words.

As a woman, she aspires to serve the court, and wants to enter the court as an official, but she is a daughter.

She wrote a bloody letter to the emperor to create a woman as an official, but she was regarded as a joke and was ridiculed and spurned by thousands of people.

She was full of poetry and books, full of economy, wise and brave, but finally put down her sword and married Liu Guo.

It's just a woman who was suddenly divided into county lords, who was ridiculed and spurned when she was in Chu State, and went to Liu State as the daughter of a high-ranking official and nobleman who was not comparable to Liu State.

But Yang Zhaohua was able to win the favor of Emperor Liu, and he was able to become the queen to share the burden for Emperor Liu, and then gave birth to Liu Zixun, the prince, which shows that Yang Zhaohua is powerful.

It's just that this power is buried by those colored eyes because of those public opinions.

If the first emperor could set a precedent for women to be officials, then Yang Zhaohua would definitely be no worse than those men.

Liu Zixun clenched the chessboard, and his expression changed suddenly.

"You also made such a bet with the prince of Chu last time."

"Yes, Chu Yan's loss is because he didn't take me seriously, otherwise he should be able to see the trap I set."

The trap set by Chu Yan was not ingenious or powerful, but Chu Yan ignored this at that time, so she won half of it.

Her chess skills were taught by Chu Yan, and if she really played, she would not be able to win against Chu Yan.

If she was asked to repeat the trick at that time, she would definitely not be able to deceive Chu Yan.

"Did you know that your bet is more important than losing the pearl jade?"

"Could it be that His Highness is afraid of losing? Before His Highness started, he thought about losing, so there was no need to play this game of chess. ”

Xiao Changge turned his head slightly, his eyes reflecting Liu Zixun's raised eyebrows.

The white clothes are fluttering, but they are less steady, and he still needs to be tempered.

"It's His Highness who says he wants to play chess, how can he get less benefits if he wants to play chess? If Changge loses, Changge can also promise the prince a condition, as long as it is not against morality, what he can do, Changge can agree. ”

Seeing Xiao Changge say it so lightly, it was as if he was completely sure.

Originally, Liu Zixun still had some confidence, but when he heard Xiao Changge say this, he didn't even have the confidence to win.

This writing alone made him shake.

Asking a person who is about to become an emperor to agree to him a condition is like giving up the jade seal to someone else.

He is the crown prince, the future son of Liu Guo, and he can't agree to other people's conditions so easily.

Chu Yan is stupid, he is not.

Seeing Liu Zixun's hesitation, Xiao Changge seemed to know what the result was.

Liu Zixun didn't know how long he thought about it, and after weighing left and right, he felt like retreating.

"I..."

When Liu Zixun wanted to find an excuse not to gamble, he saw that Xiao Changge had fallen asleep.

It seems that he knew that Liu Zixun would not gamble.

Breathe smoothly and fall asleep.

Liu Zixun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a big man wants to save face, and if he retreats on the spot, it will only make Xiao Changge look down on him.

Xiao Changge fell asleep, which can be regarded as giving him a step.

He just remembered that the prime minister boasted about how divine the game of chess played by Xiao Changge and the prince of Chu was so curious.

He is interested in dancing knives and guns, and has always only listened to others play and dance for these pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings, but he rarely goes into battle himself.

However, Xiao Changge was too good at sleeping, and he slept in the afternoon, and he fell asleep again in just a few hours.

"Young master, the carriage is ready."

He knocked on the door of the butler, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he pushed the door and entered.

Seeing Liu Zixun's back, he said softly.

"What the hell are you doing there?"

Liu Zixun was in a panic, there was no one to be angry, and when someone knocked on the door, he wanted to vent his anger.

"The old slave is afraid of disturbing the good things of the son and the red-sleeved girl."

As he said this, the smile on his face became more obvious.

Liu Zixun's expression was cold, and his expression changed greatly.

"Old Dynasty, don't forget the purpose of this son's visit to Chu this time, not to mention that this person can't afford it, she is Xiao Changge."

The name of the concubine of the Xiao family is not only known to people in Chu State, but also to people in other countries who know that this person exists.

Although the second lady of the Xiao family is beautiful and is one of the four beauties of the Chu Kingdom, Xiao Changge's reputation is not small.

That rumor left over from a long time ago is even more alarming.

There is Xia in the east and Chen in the south, but the daughter of the Xiao family is not allowed.

He used to think it was mysterious, but now that he listens to it, he believes it.
