Chapter 112: The Wind Rises
The cold wind howled outside, but the inside of the house was as warm as spring. Sandalwood was drizzling, and there was silence in the study, except for the occasional sound of snow falling on the trees outside the window.
Li Guichen sat on the edge of the chessboard and dropped a piece on the chessboard. I saw that the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were entangled, and the two sides were evenly matched, and the battle was fierce. One wrong step will be a catastrophe.
"Buckle up."
The door was suddenly slammed, and the voice of a maid was heard outside the door.
"Your Highness, the senior girl is here."
"Huh?"
Li Guichen frowned, slightly puzzled, it was getting late, why did she come.
"Enter."
He casually threw Bai Yuzi into the chess basket and looked towards the door, and a shadow came around behind the screen.
It was Shi Caiwei.
She came in a hurry, and after entering the house, the cloak had not yet been taken off, and the whole person was gathered in the pink cloak, which looked particularly delicate.
Li Guichen's eyebrows stretched, with a slight smile on his lips, he had already reached her in three or two steps, waved away the maid, and personally took off the cloak for her.
"It's so late, why are you here?"
Shi Caiwei's face was not very good-looking, her lips were pursed, and she did not answer Li Guichen. Instead, he sat down on the chessboard and set his eyes on the remnants of the game.
"Zhi Niang has a way to break the game?"
Shi Caiwei, nicknamed Zhiniang.
Li Guichen also walked up to her, and when he saw her eyes falling on the chessboard, he asked.
"It seems that black and white are evenly matched, but in fact, the winner has been decided."
Li Guichen's face sank, and he listened to Shi Caiwei continue: "Baizi seems to be equally divided with Heizi, but if you look closely, it has been defeated, and Heizi has taken advantage of the general trend. Shiroko seems to still have the power to resist, but the allies have already rebelled, and the neutral forces have defected to Kuroko. Next, the enemy will definitely be attacked on the back, and the situation will not be good. ”
"What's going on?"
Li Guichen closed his eyes and pondered for a while before asking.
"Jiaye intends to form an alliance with Li Fuxian, and in the form of in-laws. Jin Feng Yulu seems to be neutral, but now it seems that the people behind Wang Yunlin have chosen Li Fuxian. ”
"It can't be!"
Li Guichen already knew about Princess Jiaye, but it was impossible for Princess Jiaye to turn against her now, and as one of the three major forces in the capital, Jin Feng Yulu had always been neutral, how could he take refuge in Li Fuxian, no matter whether it was Li Fuxiansheng or Li Guichensheng in the future, he would definitely not be allowed again.
Jin Feng Yulu has been able to be safe and stable for so many years, because they definitely do not favor anyone or take refuge in anyone. Defecting to Li Fuxian, they are bringing about their own destruction!
"Why can't it?"
Shi Caiwei asked rhetorically: "Now that you are trapped in every square inch, how can you fight with Li Fuxian?" Shunhua, the general trend is no longer under your control. ”
The silence in the room was terrifying, and Shi Caiwei looked at Li Guichen seriously.
Whether it is the support of Emperor Li Yaoshen, the power in the army, or the forces in the rivers and lakes, Li Fuxian has the advantage. And Li Guichen seems to be brilliant and has a huge force behind him, but in fact, all he has is the support of the court's civil servants, and these people are vulnerable in front of the army.
They were doomed from the very beginning.
"You know better than I know who Gaye is. She only values interests, and now in her eyes, Li Fuxian is the person who is most beneficial to her. ”
In fact, it is not difficult to guess Princess Jiaye's thoughts, she chose Li Guichen at the beginning, and naturally Li Guichen brought her greater benefits. Now, Beirong's defeat is like a mountain, and she must see Li Fuxian's face.
And Li Guichen, a former ally, was in decline in the competition with Li Fuxian, so she had the idea of anti-water early on.
For her own interests, she may even have the intention of betraying Li Guichen after entering Beijing. It's just that I didn't expect Wei Yuxiao to disappear suddenly, which also made Princess Jiaye have other plans, so she gave up her previous plan.
This plan is that Da Zhou and Beirong will become in-laws, and the person she chooses is Li Fuxian.
In the Great Zhou royal family, the only marriageable people are Li Fuxian and Li Guichen. And Li Guichen has a marriage contract, Princess Jiaye is absolutely unwilling to be the smallest, although Li Fuxian has a crown princess, but the time of Wei Yuxiao's disappearance is too coincidental, looking at the current situation, there is a chance that she will not come back. It just vacates the position of the crown princess, and Li Fuxian already has an heir, so he doesn't have to worry about the heir.
This plan is a win-win result for Li Fuxian and Princess Jiaye, and it is their interests that are maximized, so Princess Jiaye will definitely not give up this plan, and Li Fuxian has no reason to refuse at all.
Unless......
Wei Yuxiao is back.
But there can be no surprises.
"As for the golden wind and jade dew, I have seen it with my own eyes today. Wang Yunlin has already chosen Li Fuxian. ”
Although they couldn't find out who the owner behind Jin Feng Yulu was, Jin Feng Yulu chose this path.
"The worst thing may be that the golden wind and jade dew are Li Fuxian's."
After Shi Caiwei said this, her face became more and more pale.
None of them are stupid people, these things have made them understand that now that they are really gone, they are under the enemy, and the hope of victory in the end is extremely slim.
Almost, there is no doubt about defeat.
Li Guichen stared at the chessboard, looking calm, of course, just looking calm.
He was too proud, too complacent.
Opinionated.
"No, Zhiniang, maybe it's not that bad."
I don't know how long Li Guichen was silent, he suddenly looked up at Shi Caiwei, his eyes were clear, his vision was sharp, there was no bit of weakness due to the blow, and he didn't slump and doubt himself.
Well, he's here.
Shi Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her cheeks, which had been tense, eased a lot, revealing a light smile. What she was most worried about was that Li Guichen would collapse and defeat himself after learning about this.
He's been smooth sailing, he's never been hit so badly, and maybe this time, it's a better thing for him.
Even if he loses in the end, Li Guichen has the possibility of recovery.
Shi Caiwei didn't know that she actually said a prophecy.
"I want to hear about it."
"We still have a trump card in our hands."
Li Guichen smiled at her and motioned to come closer. Shi Caiwei didn't twist either, and obediently got closer. Li Guichen only said one sentence in her ear, but Shi Caiwei's eyes widened and her face was full of surprise.
"That's it...... Does he know? ”
"I don't know."
Li Guichen sneered and said, "Even if he knows, he is troubled by Wei Yuxiao's news, and he has no time to care about anything else." ”
"Hmph."
Shi Caiwei's face suddenly sank, and she suddenly stood up, her tone was cold, and she said, "Since you have a countermeasure, then I'll leave." ”
"Huh?"
Li Guichen took her hand, a little confused, "Why is this good person angry?" ”
"Your Highness is too worried, how dare I be angry."
Shi Caiwei's dead duck has a hard mouth, and she can't take a single step when she leaves.
"Oh, then I can make soy sauce when I look at this little mouth."
Li Guichen vaguely guessed the reason why she was suddenly angry, but he deliberately teased her.
"You! Hum! ”
Shi Caiwei rarely behaved like such a young daughter, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, tease you!"
The haze between Li Guichen's eyebrows was swept away, he laughed, and suddenly said very solemnly: "I have nothing to do with her." ”
"Hmph, who cares about you."
Shi Caiwei glanced at him, her beautiful eyes flowed, but she didn't have any anger.
"It's getting late, I'm going back."
"I'll send you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Shi Caiwei smiled, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.
"Let's go."
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the white snow covers the filth in this prosperity, and also covers the ups and downs under the prosperity, and no one knows who will have the last laugh.
The northwest land is the first place to usher in the wind and snow, when it comes to the cold winter wax moon, the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, thousands of miles of ice, and only silver and white are left in the vast world.
Approaching the New Year, the camp made an exception and hung red lanterns, and there were many big brothers in the barracks who didn't know anyone, so the matter of writing couplets was all handed over to the military advisor Baili Rongxi.
"Strategist!"
Baili Rongxi wrote down another couplet, rubbed his extremely sour wrist, and wrote from morning to night, but he finally finished writing.
He didn't look back, and he knew that it was Wei Yufei's kid who came.
"You're here for a good time."
Baili Rongxi walked aside and cleaned his hands with cold water, and said, "Go, send these couplets to them." ”
"Huh? So much! ”
Wei Yufei was a little dumbfounded, he was holding a tray, the tray had wine, meat and vegetables, but it was very rich. He found a place to put down the tray and said, "Is this a copy written for each battalion?" ”
Baili Rongxi glanced at him, and a few big words were clearly written in his eyes, otherwise.
"I don't know who gave me these troubles."
Baili Rongxi didn't have a good airway, and suddenly Wei Yufei was very weak.
It's not the trouble he caused, he made a bet with Gu Hai, the bet is that the loser has to listen to the person who wins, it is obvious that he lost, Gu Hai's request is to let Baili Rongxi write couplets for each battalion.
"Ahem, Qi Chang, Zhao Si. Go, send one pair of these to each battalion. ”
The big ones make the smallest, and the small ones call the smallest.
After Li Fuxian returned to Beijing, in this military camp, Baili Rongxi was the biggest one, and Wei Yufei was the most talented, the latest up-and-coming genius. Therefore, in the army, it is really called sideways. Of course, Wei Yufei is not arrogant, but has a good relationship with other people, is very skilled, wars, and kind, and it is difficult to make people hateful.
Who doesn't know General Wei Yufei yet.
Qi Chang and Zhao Si are still under his command, and they have been mixed into the position of deputy generals.
Baili Rongxi called him, and he instructed these two people.
The two of them were not annoyed, and walked out with the thick two stacks of couplets in response, but Wei Yufei still had a mouthful, "Qi Chang, you look at it, don't stick it upside down!" ”
"Got it!"
Qi Chang stumbled, his head was full of black lines, did Wei Yufei think that everyone was him, he didn't even know the pros and cons.
Baili Rongxi couldn't help but be full of black lines, and couldn't help but think of Wei Yufei's dog-crawling words, as well as his terrible poems.
"Yufei."
Before he opened his mouth, Wei Yufei, this kid, seemed to have understood what he meant, and put the good wine and food on the table with great diligence.
"Big brother! Big brother has worked hard! Big brother, you eat, I'll go see the training of the soldiers! ”
"Stop."
Baili Rongxi let him go before he had a ghost, he looked at Wei Yufei's frozen back, and said slowly: "You come here." ”
"Army, military division ......"
Wei Yufei wants to cry without tears, what is he called, he can't live if he does his own evil!
