In the city of Weirong, Jiang Cong, the king of Qin, had red eyes and white temples, and he was alone in the political hall looking at the northwest strategic map, stunned.

He had expected today's situation, but he never regretted it, not that he wanted to rebel, but that his good brother forced him to rebel. The third king, King Wu, just met with himself and the messenger of the eighth child, in fact, the purpose was not to collude with anything, but to show the emperor's younger brother to express his dissatisfaction with being monitored all year round. But this younger brother is good, he directly sent someone to kill his third brother, even his nephews, and they were all exterminated.

If you don't rebel, you will die, and if you rebel, you can still make a profit, do you still need to choose? But now it seems that that there is so little hope.

Taizu can only establish the Holy Court to determine the world, and he already attaches great importance to the existence of the Holy Court, but he still underestimates the ability of the Dark Division. It is really not an empty word that the secret agents are pervasive, and all their layouts have no secrets at all in the eyes of the emperor, and they are all easily resolved.

"Lord Wang, the enemy army has arrived in Jinping, and it is only half a day's journey from Weirong. A figure came behind King Qin, who was his most relied on confidant Liao Ke, but the words he said made his heart fall to the bottom in an instant.

After a while, he asked weakly, "Isn't there any movement on King Jin's side?"

"Back to the prince, according to the report of the spies, a city wall protrudes from Changmen Gorge, and a strange weapon is set up on it to defend the city, which is very powerful, as if it is ...... It seems to be Mr. Wei's amazing cannon, and the Northern Army will not be able to break through for a while and a half. Liao Ke replied stubbornly, he knew the power of the amazing cannon, Wei Lansheng showed them as soon as he came, even if the King of Jin did not remember the loss of soldiers and wanted to break through in a short time, it was impossible, and if the loss of troops was too much, he would not do anything when he came here, he could only send food to the imperial court.

Jiang Cong laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hey, the eighth child is just in time to collect the body for this king." ”

"Lord Wang......" Liao Ke shouted in a complicated mood, wanting to persuade a few words, but he couldn't say anything, even the prince had this idea, which shows how low the momentum has become, how can he confront the court like this.

Jiang Cong waved his hand: "This king just sighed with emotion, and gave the order to go down, shrink the troops, and wait for help." ”

......

In Jinping, a neatly arranged group of soldiers on the official road surrounded a two-story building car driven by thirty-six divine horses and marched towards Weirong City.

The yellow scarf curtain hanging down on the building car indicated that this was the car of the Great Zhou Emperor, Emperor Zhou stood on the building car, took the northern military newspaper handed by the eunuch with the army, unfolded a glance, outlined a trace of arc at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "Old Seven, are you still waiting for the Eighth Emperor? Unfortunately, he can't help you." ”

......

The afterglow of the sun poured over the sparsely shaded Prison Mountain, showing a sense of decadence.

Chen An pointed out, and pointed out a scorch mark on a withered yellow leaf.

Song Shou remained silent, stretched out his hand, and a dead leaf near his left was peeled off a layer of keratin, revealing a little white below. Chen An's chess strength is far worse than Song Shou's, and he can only be regarded as a beginner, but chess is like life, even if Chen An fills his own dead end, he will not be entangled with Song Shou for half a point. This kind of ruthlessness makes Song Shou win, and it is extremely uncomfortable to win.

Suddenly, the two of them seemed to feel something, and they turned their heads to look at the northwest, where a straight column of smoke reached into the sky, staining the sky gray.

"Alas, the tide is over. Song Shou turned his head and looked at the chess game on the ground, not knowing whether he was sighing at Chen An or King Qin.

"Now that the general trend is gone, Brother Song still won't stop?"

A Qingyue voice came from the mountain road, Song Shou was not the slightest surprised by this, just shook his head and smiled: "Lord Tingwei is really caring about his subordinates, and he must escort him even if he ignores the battlefield of Weirong." ”

Chen An also turned his head to look and saw that the person who came was Xu Qian, and then made a chest salute to the Holy Court: "I have seen Lord Tingwei." ”

Xu Qian nodded at him first, and then said to Song Shou: "Brother Song has said it, I just haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you very much, so I put down everything and rushed to meet you day and night." Besides, Xu is still self-aware, knowing that he is just His Majesty's eyes and ears or even a sharp knife, and he will never be able to be the spear and halberd that expands the territory. ”

Xu Qian was originally Song Shou's boss, but no matter before or now, he didn't dare to pose in front of Song Shou, so he could only use humility. It is true that he is not here for Chen An, he has only one purpose for this trip, and that is Song Shou.

Every grandmaster is a very dangerous person, and if you can't think about it, it's a disaster, especially Song Shou, an existence that is only one step away from the true innate nature, which must be included in the monitoring of the dark division. Therefore, after Xu Qian received the information that Song Shou's actions were abnormal, he immediately rushed over non-stop.

"Yes, if everyone in the world knows it, where do all these troubles come from in the world. Song Shou seemed to be quite touched by his words, and sighed. "The day has passed, and the old man has taken the first step. This sentence was said to Chen An.

"Brother Song, slow down. Xu Qian called out to Song Shou and said with a smile: "In fact, this incident has nothing to do with Brother Song, why should Brother Song hang the hanging card and abandon the imperial court. ”

Chen An raised his eyebrows, the head of the Tiance Mansion, the title of prime minister of the military, and the military power in the world, although he knew that it must be a false title, but this glory even moved him when he heard it.

Song Shou turned his back and shook his head: "You don't have to test me anymore, there's no point." After speaking, he didn't give Xu Qian a chance to speak again, and his figure swayed slightly and disappeared on the top of the prison mountain.

Xu Qian looked at the direction of Song Shou's departure, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes. What he said just now was indeed a lot of temptation, because even the emperor had to beware of the grandmaster's inability to think about it.

Of course, these are not all lies, if Song Shou agrees, what harm can there be in giving him the false title of Zhengqing of Tiance Mansion, it should all be a Buddha to offer. But Song Shou didn't have any nostalgia at all, and his heart was very strong, so it seemed that he really didn't have the idea of avenging his brother and going against the court. It's just that he walked so chicly, but it touched Xu Qian's heart, whether to pursue the ethereal innate avenue, or continue this day of dominating the world.

"My lord," Chen An's soft call interrupted his musings.

He turned to look at Chen An, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he had figured out something, the whole person was completely relaxed, and said with a smile on his face: "You have done a good job this time, and when the northwest is completely pacified, you will definitely be rewarded by the emperor." Be prepared to take the lead. ”

Chen An was stunned at first, but soon he inexplicably remembered the words "the bird is hidden with the bow".

Xu Qian has been running the Holy Court for more than ten years, and he is indeed a bit of a meritorious person, as for whether he will cover the Lord or not, it depends on Emperor Zhou's thoughts, but in any case, the position of the Holy Court Lieutenant will not continue to sit. This has nothing to do with the emperor's mind, it is a matter of the Great Zhou system and the ancestral family law.

The person who took over the seat was most likely Chen An, because he had risen too fast, and he had no foundation and could only rely on Emperor Zhou, and he was now the head of the Blood Division, only one step away from Tingwei, so it was logical to ascend to the throne.

Chen An's face was complicated, and he was also entangled in the question that Xu Qian had just been entangled, whether it was the power of the world or the innate martial arts.

The power of the world is at your fingertips, and the martial arts are inherently ethereal, and there has not been a real innate existence for hundreds of years since the previous dynasty, which makes people wonder if the innate is just a beautiful legend, and it is really not worth giving up for an illusory legend.

Chen An's gaze swept over the fallen leaves that he and Song Shou regarded as chess pieces, scattered all over the ground, which made him think in frustration that it might only be a chess piece in the hands of a chess player.

Suddenly, Nangong Yao's figure appeared in his mind, which reminded him of the proposal to go to sea, and his frustration was slightly reduced, and he was slightly excited, he may not be able to get rid of the fate of the chess pieces, but he can get out of the chessboard as soon as possible.

Qu Qingyu in the distance saw the old man who even his uncle was afraid of leaving, so he cautiously approached Chen An.

Chen An saw her coming, and his heart moved, although he and Xu Qian tacitly knew many things, but he still wanted to prove that if there is revenge, he must take revenge, and if he has kindness, he will naturally repay his kindness. So he said bluntly to Xu Qian: "She is an orphan of the Qu family. ”

Xu Qian naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and chuckled: "It turned out to be the child of the Qu family, what do you call it?"

"Uncle. Even his mother clan knew that Chen An was even more sure that he intended to take him into the Dark Division to protect him nearby.

Now that the dust has settled, Xu Qian didn't want to hide anything, and said with a little emotion: "The people who respect the doctor are benevolent, and there are countless living people, even if there are many people behind him who are willing to lend a hand." It's a pity that I was a humble person back then, and the only thing I could control was the dark division and a guard, which made you suffer a lot. But what is gratifying is that you are a genius and can achieve what you are today. ”

Chen An did not ask about the cause and effect again, but bowed deeply to the end. The Holy Court ten years ago was different from the Holy Court ten years later, at that time, the Third Division of the Holy Court was still the world of Ren Zhongxu's brothers, and Xu Qian was able to save his life in the Dark Division, even if there was a factor of darkness under the lamp, it would definitely take a lot of effort. It's like when he first met Ren Zhongxu, with his performance, I am afraid he didn't know that there were fish that slipped through the net back then. To this extent, it seems a bit incredible from Chen An's current vision.

Xu Qian didn't stop Chen An, let him bow down, and then said with a smile: "Song Shou doesn't interfere, Ren Zhongxuan is dead." The past follows the wind, what should end will end, don't dwell on the past, you should also adjust your mentality to meet the future. This is because he was afraid that Chen An's obsession would have demons, so he deliberately advised.

Chen An's heart was flawless, and he was really obsessed with it at the beginning, even if he became a grandmaster, he couldn't let go, but with the fight with Gu Jianping, Leng Qingqiu, and Song Shou, he gradually realized that he was no longer entangled in this, and quickly adjusted his mentality. Wen Yan just smiled indifferently and said, "It belongs to the province." ”

Xu Qian nodded: "Then let's go, the emperor is still waiting for you in Weirong." ”
