Chapter 212: Chess Game

Chu Buxiu came to the opposite of the man, sat down cross-legged gently, and did not speak.

After about a stick of incense, the man finally finished the chess game and looked up.

"Wechen see ......"

"Okay, okay, don't come to that, you're too lazy to say, I'm too lazy to listen."

Chu Buxiu said to Wen Jiang, who only moved his mouth but did not get up.

The latter smiled slightly, but did not explain anything.

Chu Buxiu unceremoniously took the wine jug on the table, poured himself a glass, and said:

"Xia'er, that girl has already arrived in the Central Plains."

Wen Jiang said "um", picked up the flask, and poured himself a glass.

Chu Buxiu touched the wine glass with the other party, raised his neck directly, and poured all the wine in the cup into his mouth.

Wen Jiang took a sip cautiously, and said while savoring:

"That girl has a stubborn temper, just like you, I have to find a way to help her cancel the marriage."

"And you helped her?"

Chu Buxiu took the flask again and poured himself a glass again.

General Wen nodded and said:

"Helped."

Hearing this, Chu Buxiu stopped drinking, and said with a strange face:

"You were the one who persuaded me to kiss at the beginning, and now you are the one who helps her, and you let you do it with good people? She is my only daughter, and if I had known this, I would not have agreed to this marriage. ”

Wen will continue to take a sip of the wine in the glass, and said in a flat tone:

"She is your only daughter and my only apprentice, I didn't mean to make you a villain, it's just that the current situation in the Central Plains is not as simple as you think."

"How?"

Chu Buxiu put down his wine glass, obviously this matter attracted him more.

"Would you like to play a game of chess with me?"

Wen Jiang suddenly changed the topic and talked about the chess game again.

Chu Buxiu was obviously used to the other party's way of speaking, and said:

"You know me, I've always looked dizzy in this black and white."

The other party had expected that he had already made four black and white sons during the conversation, and he still said calmly:

"The Central Plains has been a tiger's den in Longtan since ancient times, whether it is officialdom or the palace, there are all undercurrents, compared to this, I do prefer Donghan."

While speaking, Wen will fall four more sons.

"Within the dynasty, it is like a huge chess game, there is life and death, as long as there is a breath left, there will always be hope of turning the tables.

For more than ten years, I have not taught the princess anything but the truth that she still lives. ”

As he spoke, sixteen more sons.

Chu Buxiu frowned when he heard this:

"You mean that you want my son to die for the rest of my life?"

Wen Jiang glanced at him when he heard this, and continued:

"It's not a life-or-death story, but there's always some risk, but correspondingly, the rewards are considerable.

The dynasty seems to be more stable than it has been for more than 30 years, but in fact, it is about to change.

Today's emperor is far less decisive than his father and grandfather, and this kindness is bound to lead to disaster. ”

"That's why you asked that girl to take a few Kunlun slaves?"

"That's right."

General Wen nodded, and at this time a quarter of the chessboard was already occupied, of which Bai Zi faintly had the advantage.

"This could have been done by others, why did you choose Xia'er?"

Chu Buxiu asked again, obviously he was still worried about Chu Lixia's safety.

The strategist in front of him was still unhurried, and continued to explain:

"There will be no danger in this trip. In the capital, she is going to be a concubine, as long as she does not compete for favor, no one will harm her in a short time; As for the other side, she sent those Kunlun slaves out, and she could also save her life. ”

At this point, the entire board has been occupied, and white is about to be trapped by the last bit of black.

"Moreover, there is a more important purpose for this trip."

"For what purpose?"

"For Donghan, find a inheritance."

Hearing this, Chu Buxiu, the king of Donghan on the opposite side, flashed his eyes.

The matter of inheritance has only been mentioned by the court in recent years.

Chu Buxiu originally had a son and a daughter, who were born to his wife who died in childbirth before she died, and later her son also died, leaving only one daughter.

In the early years, when he was still in the prime of life, there were many voices in the court asking him to marry another one to extend the royal incense.

But he remembered his old relationship with his deceased wife and was unwilling to marry again, so the matter was delayed again and again.

After he turned 50, the voice of the DPRK and China changed from having another heir to the next successor.

After all, he is old, and at this time, I am afraid it is too late to regenerate.

Although everyone didn't say anything about this matter, they had already begun to stand in line in private, and several nephews who had been left behind because Chu couldn't bear it were naturally candidates.

Chu knew about these things, but he didn't plan to stop them, after all, his revenge back then had been avenged, and now there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

The reason why he agreed to send his daughter to the dynasty as an imperial concubine was because he didn't want her to be involved in the next battle.

It's better to be a caged finch for a lifetime than to die.

……

"What do you mean by inheritance?" Chu Buxiu spoke in a deep voice.

The white-clothed scribe still fell slowly, and said in a flat tone:

"Perhaps, the little prince, he didn't die back then."

After Wen Jiang finished speaking, he looked at Chu Buxiu with a shocked face on the other side.

At first glance, Chu Buxiu felt a little incredible, but the man in front of him could not lie to himself in this matter.

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start, and the man on the other side, who was not so much a prime minister as a strategist, continued:

"This is the information that my spies in the palace of the dynasty sent back, although I dare not say that I am 100% sure, but there are still eight or nine points.

When the little prince was hacked to death, no one knew the specific process, and no one could be sure that the body was the little prince's.

The reason why I let the princess go is also to increase the chances of finding the little prince. ”

Chu Buxiu's expression had changed from shock to excitement, and in the face of the backbone that had never bent the thousands of troops, he unconsciously bent a little at this moment.

He said in a deep voice: "If Mr. Ruowen can really help Chu find his son, I will use the power of the whole country of Donghan to avenge Mr." ”

Wen Jiang silently dropped the last word and did not answer.

At this moment, the chess game has been decided, and the white pieces, who were originally dominant, were completely angry after the last black piece fell, and completely turned into a pile of dead chess.

Wen Jiang had expected it, and instead of looking at this wonderful chessboard, he picked up his wine glass and quietly looked out the window.

……

The Lanjiang River is the junction of Donghan and the Central Plains.

Before the establishment of the Tarigan Dusi, it was also called the barrage, which means to intercept.

Twenty years ago, a commander named Chu Xiu came to garrison here.

The local soldiers only regarded him as a small commander with no ambition, and they did not expect him to be the prince of Donghan.

Because of his status, he didn't even deserve the royal family tree, except for getting a surname with the word "Chu" symbolizing royal power, he had nothing.

It was his most frustrating year.

First, he and his loving wife died in childbirth while giving birth to their daughter, and then their five-year-old son died under the knife in a power struggle.

He didn't want another accident with his only remaining daughter, so he offered to go to the frontier.

There is not a day when he is stationed by the barrage without pain, and the death of his wife and children has made this man who is still in the prime of life look tired.

Just when he thought that there was no one more miserable than him in the world, he found a man with serious injuries by the river.
