Chapter 182: The Chess Game
Except for the two half-burned remnants and the Heavenly Dzi, there was nothing else to prove what had happened last night. However, there are obvious traces of treatment here, and the entire village has been burned to rubble. Even the burned houses have been torn down, and the land in the village has been turned up, apparently to cover up the traces of last night's fighting here.
Hundreds of people searched for two or three more hours, but nothing special was found other than what they had found before. In the process of searching, the king of Huainan sent someone to find the pavilion chief here. After inquiry, I learned that this was a village built by a group of displaced people a few years ago, because most of these people were sinners, and it was too close to the royal capital. Half a year ago, these displaced people were moved away by the government, and there has been no one living here for half a year.
This small place has been passed back and forth like a sieve several times, and there is no point in looking for it any further. At that moment, he went to Wu Mian and Huainan Wang Xiao Liu Xi to discuss, and finally decided to leave a hundred people to continue to search here. The rest of the people will keep the King of Huainan back to Shouchun City, and as long as they find something here, they will be sent to the Huainan Palace.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Rensan had already woken up from a hangover. The little guy was also surprised when he heard what happened last night. And the envoys of the two teams also sent people to report to the king of Huainan, because there were important people in the two teams who died violently, and they all decided to return to the dynasty (country) early to resume their lives. However, these people have all benefited from the king of Huainan, and after they go back, they will pin the reason for the violent death of their envoys on the heads of the other party's envoys.
Accompanied by Wu Mian and Gui Bu Gui, Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, personally sent two teams of envoys out of Shouchun City. After the two teams of envoys left, more than half a month passed, and nothing unusual happened in Huainan Palace. And the white-robed man and Guangren's two factions seemed to have evaporated from the world, the white-robed man had just arrived, and he sent people from Huainan Wangfu to Fangshi's sect to inquire, and after inquiring, he learned that Dafangshi had contacted Guangyi and Guangyi to go out more than a month ago. He hasn't come back yet, but there is no change in the natal talisman that these people left in the sect, at least it proves that the person is still alive.
In the following world, the Huainan Palaces were safe and sound, and the Huainan King Xiao Liu Xizhi's Mansion was very strict, and no one dared to talk about the misfortunes that happened here with the two teams of envoys. After living for a while, Wu Mian began to feel bored again. Fortunately, one after another, the treasures of heaven and earth found in various places were sent to the Huainan Palace, which allowed Wu Mian to find a way to kill time.
Now after the battle between the white-robed man and Guangren, even if he doesn't die, he has no time to care about this, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui discussed it, and asked Xiao Liu Xi to find a piece of feng shui treasure outside the city. Later, a large mansion was built here, and when the last two heavenly and earthly treasures arrived, they refined the elixir of immortality here.
After the house was built, Xiao Liuxi, the king of Huainan, also went to congratulate him. He also allocated a hundred gold from his palace and gave it to Wu Mianhe to make alchemy. On the same day, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Xiao Rensan stayed here, and Xiao Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, returned to the palace with the monks and guards he had recruited.
After returning to the palace, it was getting late, and Xiao Liu Xi did not go back to his bedroom. Instead, he withdrew from the attendants who were with him and went to the study alone. The scale of the study room of Huainan Wangfu is also one of the best among the princes and kings, and there are tens of thousands of books in it.
After Xiao Liu Xi came in, he lit the candle with a fire sickle. Then I found a few books that I was interested in, and read them by the light of the candlelight. I had just finished reading this volume, and I was about to continue reading the next volume. Xiao Liu Xi's eyes flickered, and a figure had already appeared in front of him.
Xiao Liu Xi was stunned by this figure, but after an instant, he returned to normal. Putting the book in his hand in its original position, the figure opposite him couldn't help but speak first: "You are only ten years old now, and you have such a high city, in a few years, will even I have to calculate it?" ”
The person who spoke was dressed in a white robe, and his head was tightly hidden in the cloak. It turned out to be the white-robed man who had been missing with Guangren for a long time - asked the lord of the heavenly building, and Liu Xide, the king of Huainan, did not have a frightened expression on his face, and after looking at the white-robed man, he said: "The landlord, you are laughing, no matter how young this king is, it is just a chess piece in your hand, the landlord, it is a person who plays chess, when can the chess piece decide the overall situation?" However, this king is also a little curious, and you disappeared with Dafang Shi Guangren that day. I don't know where that generous master is now? ”
"That's not for you, Your Royal Highness the King of Huainan, you don't have to worry about it." After the white-robed man laughed, he continued: "This time I came to tell you that I told you before that I would participate in the Seven Kingdoms and put things on hold together. Wu Wang Liu Bi can't make a big deal, what he is doing now is too ugly, so he simply asked him to explore the way for you, no matter whether it succeeds or fails. It's not bad for you......"
Liu Xi seemed to have known that the white-robed man would say this, and he didn't show any expression on his face at the moment, and after sitting on the seat cushion and bowing to the white-robed man for a while, he smiled and said, "Landlord, I still don't understand." Why did you choose me instead of my father in the first place? One is the former King of Huainan, and the other is a five-year-old child. No one would put their money on this five-year-old child, right? ”
"Because your father doesn't have the emperor's order, becoming a prince is already his limit. Forcibly dragging him to the emperor's throne will only miss my big thing. The white-robed man said slowly, and after finishing speaking, his eyes were fixed on the ten-year-old King Huainan in front of him. After watching for a long time, he continued: "According to the path I have arranged for you, you will become the emperor of this dynasty before the age of forty. But don't think you're a little clever and take it upon yourself. When the time comes, you can't do it, Emperor, be careful to put your life and your children and grandchildren into it......"
The last few words of Xiao Liu Xi broke out in a cold sweat, and at the moment his body arched, he lowered his head and said to the white-robed man in front of him: "Liu Xi doesn't dare to assert himself, everything is based on the landlord's arrangement." As long as the landlord in Huainan country says a word, the subjects of the whole country will work hard......"
"Are you scared? Now you look too ugly......" The white-robed man looked at the cold sweat on Liu Xi's face, and after a pause, he suddenly laughed weirdly, then stood up and walked towards the outside of the study. As he walked, he said, "After Wu Mian's pill is refined, ask me for one." I also want to see what kind of immortal elixir Xu Fu has refined......"
As he spoke, the white-robed man had already walked to the door, but he didn't stretch out his hand to push the door, he took a step forward directly and passed through the wall in front of Liu Xi. Before leaving, leave the last sentence: "How far can you go this time......"
The moment the white-robed man left the study, Xiao Liu Xi, the king of Huainan who had been sitting, suddenly fell. He shivered violently, as if he were smoking a sheep crazy. He didn't get up from the ground with all his strength, and after a while, Liu Xi gave up the struggle and said loudly to the waiter waiting outside: "Someone! Hurry up! Call the doctor to ......"
At the same time, Gui Bugui and Wu Mian were having dinner in their new house. After Xiao Rensan drank a glass of wine, he said to the maid behind him: "Sister Luthos, this small pot of wine is finished, please go and get another pot." Today is a day of great joy, let's have some good drinks to celebrate. Bring me the jar of wine that my brother King Huainan sent me today, and I want to taste the salty ......."
"This can't be done" The little maid named Green Pothos shook her head a little embarrassed, and after glancing at Wu Mian and Wu Mianhe, who were eating at the same table as Xiao Rensan, she said: "The two masters said that from today onwards, you can only drink one liter of wine a day." Master, this is all for your own good, we have an old saying here, children don't grow up when they drink......"
