"Sit down, Mou'er. Su Yuanli pressed his palm, showed an amiable smile, and motioned for Su Mou to sit down.

Su Mou lightly lifted his robe, sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "It's rare that my father is so idle today, and it's really an honor to invite his children to come to this meditation pavilion to play chess." ”

Su Yuanli's backyard, walking through the long corridor of twists and turns, is a clear lake, there is a stone arch bridge in the center of the lake, connecting the two banks, and a pavilion is set up on the bridge, called Jingxin Pavilion.

Father and son were sitting facing each other on the pavilion, with a chessboard in between.

Su Yuanli's tone was long, and there was a hint of self-reproach: "Since your mother died, I rarely care about you anymore, it's really difficult for you all these years, Mo'er." ”

Su Mou smiled casually, and looked at the calm lake: "The prosperity of the Su family today is inseparable from my father's hard work, and I can now rely on the name of the Su family to be powerful and prosperous in Hedong City, and how dare I expect my father's care anymore." ”

Su Yuanli listened to Su Mou's indifferent tone, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he didn't dare to preachy and tough reprimand, which would only make the relationship between father and son drift apart, he could only sigh silently and shift the topic to the chessboard.

"Mou'er, you are in charge of the sunspots in this game, and the sunspots go first, please. ”

Su Mou nodded, no longer recklessly taking advantage of his tongue, took out a chess piece from the chess box and landed on the chessboard.

Da!

A crisp sound as clear as a pearl opened the curtain of the game.

Su Yuanli frowned: "Tianyuan? Mou'er is in a negative mood." He thought in his heart, and immediately smiled slightly: "It's okay, let's kill his sharp qi on the chessboard!"

Da!

Su Yuanli followed closely behind, and Su Mou fell again almost at the same time.

Da!

Su Yuanli was surprised, and then did not show weakness, the two of them came and went, their fingers moved, and in just a few minutes, they had already made one hundred and eighty moves!

As time passed, the chess pieces on the board fell more and more, the game began to become complicated, and the frequency of the two pieces gradually slowed down.

Da!

Su Yuanli dropped a white seed, ate Su Mou's large sunspot, spit out a mouthful of turbidity, and said with a smile: "Mou'er, you are going to lose this game." ”

Su Mou didn't think so, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "Father, don't be careless, it is still unknown who will kill the deer." With a movement of his fingers, he continued to fall sunspots.

On the chessboard, the sunspot held by Su Mou is like a sharp knife, straight into Su Yuanli's white, full of aggression.

And Su Yuanli's white son followed the rules, was orderly, and steadily "turned away" Su Mou's sunspot.

Su Yuanli smiled with a winning smile, and while he was not in a hurry, he asked, "Mou'er, who is the most likely to be my successor in the current situation of the Su family?"

Although it is a little inappropriate to discuss the heir to the future head of the Su family in front of Su Yuanli, the head of the Su family, Su Yuanli himself has already said it explicitly, what else does Su Mou have to take care of?

He was all on the chessboard, and replied lightly: "My eldest brother Su Da, the dragon among people, a genius in the sky, can be the heir of the Su family." ”

Da!

Saying that, Su Mou left a son.

Su Yuanli responded calmly and continued: "Although Da'er is a good talent, he has not been in the Su family for a long time, and he does not know the whole picture of the Su family, so it is difficult to entrust this important task for a while. ”

The corners of Su Mou's mouth were lightly raised, and then another son fell: "My second brother Su Xian, who is young and promising, is in charge of the Intelligence Department, is one of the six leaders of the Su family, and can be the head of the Su family." ”

Su Yuanli waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although Xian'er has a small achievement, he is too young, and with his qualifications, it is really difficult to command the entire Su family. As he spoke, Su Yuanli flicked his fingers, and another white son fell, blocking Su Mou Heizi's offensive line.

Su Mou couldn't, so he had to change his offensive line, put a cloth under the chessboard, and said: "Then Su Daoqing, as the ruler of the Ministry of Rites, is also one of the six leaders of the Su family, and his son Su Daoming has the quality of the sevenfold spirit at the beginning of the enlightenment, and is known as the first person after the eldest brother, he can be the head of the Su family?"

Now, Su Mou's answer is no longer as firm as before, but with a questioning tone.

Su Yuanli laughed when he heard this, and said in a tone full of disdain: "How can I not know the ambitions of Su Daoqing, Su Daoming, father and son, and the wolf?"

When my father inherited the position of the head of the Su family, Su Daoqing was promoted to the envoy of the Ministry of Rites, and now that I am the head of the Su family, he is still the envoy of the Ministry of Rites, and he is even above me in terms of age, maybe he will die in front of me one day, and he still wants to be the head of the Su family, what a fool's dream!"

Su Mou thought for a while and continued to guess: "What about Su Yi, Su Lu, and Su Qin, they are all one of the six radicals, can they inherit their father's family business?"

Su Yuanli seemed to hear a big joke, and laughed back and forth: "Su Lu and Su Yi are the henchmen who support your eldest brother Su Da and Su Daoqing respectively, as for Su Qin... Doing things for the family is also sincere, and when the Su family is in the general trend, he naturally has to follow the trend of inflammation and survive. ”

Among the people Su Mou proposed, they were already a group of people at the highest level of the Su family, but Su Yuanli was still not satisfied, and his meaning was already obvious.

"Forgive Mou'er for being stupid, if none of these people I just mentioned are in line with my father's wishes, then Mou'er really doesn't know what kind of genius the Su family can take on this important responsibility. Su Mou pretended not to know Su Yuanli's intentions, and slowly dropped a sunspot.

Now that the chess game has entered the final stage, the chess pieces on the chessboard have become a stalemate with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish them, and Su Mou and Su Yuanli's moves have also begun to become more careful, and they often have to think for several minutes when they drop a chess piece.

Since it was a game of chess between father and son, the time was not limited, and no one opened their mouths to urge them.

After Su Mou's fall, after a long time, Su Yuanli finally sorted out his thoughts on the chessboard, calmly dropped a white seed, looked at Su Mou, and said with kind eyebrows: "Today's Su family, only you with the qualifications of the Nine Spirits can inherit it!"

When Su Mou heard this, his hand holding the chess piece froze in mid-air.

There was a long pause.

He slowly put the chess pieces back into the chess box, and said with a serious face: "Father said that he was joking, in terms of age, he was only seventeen or eighteen, if it wasn't for the pampering of his father since he was a child and developed a bad habit, I am afraid that he would still be in the middle school class of the Spirit Academy at this moment."

In terms of qualifications, the eldest brother and the second brother and the six leaders, they are either young and promising, or they are old and calm, and they have all made great contributions to the Su family, and some are even my uncles.

As for my qualifications of the Ninefold Spirit, it is nothing compared to these, just my eldest brother, the Eightfold Qualification of the Enlightenment is not much different, how can he be virtuous. ”

Su Mou sincerely shirked, this is also his truth, compared to the vast world, how could he tie his hands and feet and let Su Yuanli be tied to the Su family?

"All fame, fortune, wealth, and love are just a beautiful path with winding paths on the vast life journey of the vast sea of smoke.

The path is charming, but if you don't get out, you won't be able to see the wonderful scenery on the road.

Taste the ups and downs, go through all kinds of life, and only then can you understand the wonder of life!"

Thinking of this, Su Mou's gaze became sharp, and he directly took out a black spot from the chess box and landed on the chessboard.

Da!

Luozi's voice was like an incomparably sharp sword, piercing Su Yuanli's heart.

What he said was also the truth, not only the guilt in his heart, but also the qualifications of Su Mou's Nine Spirits that were worthy of his dedication to cultivating, but Su Mou's refusal again made him sad.

"The general trend of the world, if you join for a long time, you will divide for a long time, how can there be an eternal dynasty, why should my father be obsessed with the Su family, according to your strength, why don't you put aside all the shackles, go out and go on a resume, and strive to break through the realm of the spirit god in your lifetime, and it will not be in vain to be a human being!"

Su Mou's bold words made Su Yuanli feel solemn.

He didn't expect that it was Su Mou, who was despised by the whole clan as a lackey of the Flying Eagle in front of him, to be able to say the transcendent insight that even Su Yuanli himself could not say.

This couldn't help but Su Yuanli lowered his head and pondered, and after thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

On the chess game, Su Yuanli fell into a white position: "I'm old, I just want to keep my hard-won family business safely." ”

"Ambition is not in old age, my father is in the prime of his life, why is he so shrunken. Su Mou asked tightly.

"You are still young, there are some things you don't understand, and when you reach my age, you will naturally understand. Su Yuanli said in a heavy tone.

Su Mou said indifferently: "In the final analysis, my father is still reluctant to give up the right to be the head of the Su family!"

Su Yuanli argued: "I just want to give you a strong backing! Let your life be better in the future!" There was a hint of anger in his tone, obviously blaming Su Mou for not understanding.

"But what you give is not necessarily what others want. Su Mou's tone was neither salty nor light.

"I think my eldest brother Suda thought the same way at the beginning, according to the strength of my eldest brother, if you want to be competent for any of the six parts, it is more than enough!

But his choice was to lead the caravan to the merchant outside, shouldn't my father think about the reason for this?"

Su Mou and Su Da have never met, but this sentence sharply analyzes Su Da's psychology.

Su Yuanli was stunned by what he said, the fingers of the chess pieces in the chess box were weakly released, and the chess pieces fell off.

"Yes, Da'er's ability can be used as any of the six radicals, why didn't he choose to be one of the six radicals and develop his power in the Su family nearby, which is very beneficial to the future competition for the head of the Su family.

But he chose the caravan and stayed away from the Su family. Is it really as Mou'er said, I have been cultivating him as the heir of the Su family since I was a child, but it is not what he wants?"

"Is everything I doing wrong? The Su family is a cage for Da'er that he desperately wants to escape. ”

Su Yuanli's heart was strongly impacted, in the Su family before, no one had said this to him, and he had never thought about it, because all the clansmen were obedient to him, including Su Da.

At this time, Su Mou slowly dropped a black seed, eating half of Su Yuanli's white seed!

On the chessboard, Kuroko is very aggressive, full of paranoia and madness, and his aggressive chess posture makes Kuroko suffer from crises, and if he is not careful, he may be surrounded by all whites.

Su Yuanli's Baizi is decent, like a calm mountain, immovable, but its weakness is also obvious, that is, blind defense and lack of offensive intent.

If you keep it for a long time, when there is only one white child left in Su Yuanli's chess box, there is finally a slight and imperceptible error in his layout, which is accurately captured by Su Mou.

The defeat is decided, this game of chess, Su Mou won!

The last sunspot fell, and Su Mou left the meditation pavilion.

Su Yuanli got up and looked.

Walking to the shore, Su Mou turned sideways slightly, half-turned his head, and said to Su Yuanli calmly: "Father, in fact, you are not wrong, but between people, they are not the same. ”

"There are some people whose mind you can control and put them on the path that you think is right, but there are some people that you can't control and who are born to be lonely walkers. ”

"I hope my father will understand this!"
