I don't know if I feel something, or if I am now in Jianglin, Xiao Xiang, who has been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth.

"It's too early to pull out those inconsequential chess pieces at this moment, the saint is still a little anxious, he can endure it for so many years, why rush for a while, if he is worried about the people, he just needs to send someone to protect him secretly."

Hearing Xiao Xiang's words, the Shengshang's calm eyes suddenly rippled, but when he spoke, he regained his calmness: "It's not that I'm anxious, but I just let them mess around like this, I'm afraid it will damage my foundation... Yanbei is an important place for Qi and Jin, and there is no room for loss, not to mention that they are no longer satisfied with the land of Yanbei. ”

When Xiao Xiang heard this, he just picked up his own son again, and in the chess game in front of him, he played against each other.

The chess situation that changed several times, only between the right conversations, fell to his own side, and the place where he fell, Rao was the right person to meditate and think hard, and after several considerations, he never found it.

"It's... What do you mean? The saint spoke, with a hint of inquiry.

Seeing that Xiao Xiang didn't say anything, the saint pondered for a while, and said clearly: "This person is good at observing people's weaknesses, although back then... After the First World War, I didn't dare to act recklessly, but I coveted my heart in the Central Plains, and it never disappeared, how could I not know that he was secretly doing it in the matter of Yanbei, just..."

Of course, Xiao Xiang understood that the meaning of the saint in front of him was referring to the 80,000 elites in his hands, and the light breeze had already diverted the topic.

"The way of playing chess, don't care about the gains and losses of a few sons, if you want to uproot it, you need to wait for a while, Gordon is a son, it is very exquisite, but it's a pity that his brother is swaying and self-defeating, as for that person... Ahem. Xiao Xiang showed the king with chess, and halfway through his words, he suddenly coughed violently, wanting to hold up the wine cup in front of him to suppress the burning heat in his chest and abdomen, but the medicinal wine was about to enter his throat, but in exchange for coughing more violently.

"Poof—"

A trace of blood appeared in the wine cup, meandering in the medicinal wine, which seemed to show the old man's hanging posture.

After hesitating for a moment, he still got up, and the saint wanted to call Zhongqi, who was waiting outside the door, to ask the imperial doctor to come and see, but was stopped by Xiao Xiang's hand, at this time, Xiao Xiang's eyes were more tired, and his eyes were dull, but the hesitation of the saint was already in sight, and the old man spoke with exhaustion.

"Although I don't know why the Holy Lord wanted to release Wan Jun's military power and escort him to Beijing... Ahem, with him in Yanbei, Zong Yu'er may still be a little jealous, don't lose big because of small things, the people are important. ”

When it comes to Wan Jun, it seems to have touched the dragon's scales, and when it comes to the people, the saint is even calmer, but under this calm, there are implied waves, the saint who abandoned the chess game, and also learned from Xiao Xiang, twisted out the chess pieces from the chess jar, played with the fingertips, and under the flickering lights, it was even more difficult to see the mind of the Son of Heaven.

The chess piece that wandered on the fingertips, just like the people in the world, was played with by the layout, the saint looked at the chess piece, glanced at the old man, hesitated for a moment, and resolutely spoke.

"What Mr. has taught, there is no regret."

When the old man heard this, although his eyes were tired, he had recovered his previous posture, and said respectfully: "It is getting late, and the minister is already old and frail, and I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy." ”

Although the words are light, they contain the meaning of expulsion, the monarch's servants, since ancient times, if others see such courtiers to the Son of Heaven to expel guests, I am afraid that my jaw will drop in shock.

However, the Son of Heaven was not angry because of this, but the jade holding in his hand twisted rapidly, a pair of eyes looked at the old man's sick face, and said calmly: "Mr. has worked hard for me Qiyun, and has been at the border for many years. ”

When he turned around, the saint glanced at the blood that was gradually dissipating in the wine cup, and continued to speak: "I will send the Tai Hospital to wait in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if the gentleman needs any medicine, just instruct." ”

Hearing the words of the saint, the old man who had temporarily stopped coughing slowly raised his eyes, looked at the back of the ninety-five, stared for a moment, and slowly withdrew his gaze: "Thank you, Shengshang." ”

"Recently, I also heard some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, I don't know if Mr. has heard of it." After a few steps, the saint seemed to remember something again, and looked back and spoke.

Xiao Xiang finally calmed down the burning feeling in his chest and abdomen, how could the itching feeling arise again, and when he heard the saint speak, he raised his eyes and replied: "I don't know what the saint said." ”

Looking back at the teacher's gaze, the saint found that the teacher who was still confident in his talents, in those eyes, the light of the last resort, was already dim, perhaps because of the violent cough, the waist that sat straight and sat upright also bent down, without the bearing of talking and laughing in the past, and now he was just an old man in the twilight.

In an instant, the saint had an epiphany, whether he was afraid or uneasy outside the city, it was just because he still had the eighty thousand Qi Yun elites in his hands.

"It's not so much an anecdote as a person." The twisting jade holding in his hand paused and slowly spoke.

After finishing speaking, seeing that the old man was unmoved, he continued: "A young man with excellent martial arts skills, but he also likes to wear green shirts. ”

The words fell, but Xiao Xiang opened his mouth: "Shengshang, there is no coincidence or coincidence in this world, everything is doomed in the dark, just like this night, it is obviously the moon in the sky, how do you know that the next moment, will the snow cover the sky and block the moon." ”

When the saint heard this, he looked out the window, the weather was still cold, but it was almost the end of winter, Jiang Lin was located in Zhongzhou, not as snowy as the north, almost early spring, there would be no more snow, at this time it was the bright moon in the sky, and there was no trace of dark clouds to cover it... Fushu smiled: "What Mr. taught is that even if it is destined, it can't fight the sky." ”

At this point, the saint's words suddenly changed, and he went straight to the point: "Xiao Xiang, I need something in Xiao Xiang's hands." ”

"Eighty thousand Qi Yunerlang, it was the King of Yun who stayed in Shanhaiguan back then, in order to prevent the Huns from trampling on the people of my Central Plains again, he said..."

"What if... What did I exchange for the life of the young man in the green shirt? Without showing the slightest anger, his eyes were still as calm as water, and the saint interrupted his mouth.

"If you can't take his life, why change it."

The saint looked at Xiao Xiang in front of him, obviously looking sickly, but when he said this, he made his heart feel slightly cold...

When he was about to leave, his calm and waveless eyes glanced at the screen in the room, and then said to Xiao Xiang with a smile: "Rest early, and I will visit Mr. another day." ”

When I opened the door, what caught my eye was the back of Zhongqi Ricket, blocking the door, facing Zhang, Wu Erjiang, and the cardamom girl, but the three of them were blocked by Zhongqi and couldn't get closer.

Wang Yue'er hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting long live, but Zhang and Wu were the two of them, when they heard Xiao Xiang coughing outside the house before, they wanted to break into the door.

The door of the room was opened, and the old eunuch had already dodged away, Zhang and Wu couldn't take care of it, and they were about to break into the room, but Wang Yue'er, who was kneeling, pulled her cuffs, and although she was reluctant, she still knelt down with Yue'er's side.

With praise in his eyes, the saint glanced at Wang Yue'er, who was kneeling and kowtowing, and then turned to Zhang and Wu, his calm eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked sideways slightly, and said to Zhongqi beside him: "Chuan Zhi Tai Hospital, from today, send three imperial doctors to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and take care of Xiao Xiang." ”

"Yes." Zhongqi responded.

After giving these orders, the saint said no more, and left with his hands, and Zhongqi saw this, and hurriedly followed.

The emperor left on his front foot, and the three of them hurriedly got up and went straight into the room, seeing Xiao Xiang's frowns, and the medicinal wine in the wine cup in front of him had already appeared a faint red mist.

"Uncle Wu, Uncle Hude, take care of Grandpa Xiao, I'll go to the Tai Hospital..."

But I heard Xiao Xiang's slightly tired tone: "No need, it's just an old problem." ”

Zhang and Wu saw that Xiao Xiang didn't want the imperial doctor from the hospital to come to the door, and immediately persuaded: "Xiangye, how can this be done, in the past, it was just a little cough, today..."

Before the words fell, he saw Xiao Xiang's eyes move slightly, and turned to the two of them, the military order was like a mountain, there was no need to exit, Zhang and Wu suddenly knew what Xiao Xiang meant, and immediately shut up, not saying more.

Wang Yue'er still wanted to open her mouth to persuade her, but she heard Grandpa Xiao caress her beard and speak: "Yue'er, don't worry, this little problem can't kill your Grandpa Xiao, there are some things, Grandpa Xiao still needs to think quietly, you go and rest." ”

Without waiting for Wang Yue'er to speak, Xiao Xiang continued to speak: "Zhang Hude, Wu Fen." ”

"The end will be." Zhang and Wu immediately saluted accordingly.

"You two are working hard, go outside and be on guard."

"The last will obey." The two took the order and left.

Seeing that Grandpa Xiao had a serious expression and opened his mouth undoubtedly, Wang Yue'er had no choice but to bow and go out of the door.

When there was no one else in the room, Xiao Xiang's eyes turned to the screen, and then he spoke softly.

"What you think of him."

When the words fell, behind the screen, a person suddenly appeared, wrapped in a black robe, and his whole face was hidden under the hood of the black robe, silently, as if he appeared out of thin air, listening to Xiao Xiang's question, this person raised his head slightly.

"It's not like Huiwu... But..."The black-robed man stopped talking

Xiao Xiang knew his temperament, so he didn't ask, just waited for him to speak.

"I don't know how he found me." The black-robed man was unraveled.

"You mean, he found you in the house."

"Yes, and the old eunuch in front of the door also found me."

Xiao Xiang asked again: "Then the old eunuch is a master?" ”

The black-robed man truthfully reached: "I am inferior to him." ”

After finishing speaking, the black-robed man saw Xiao Xiang rubbing the corners of his forehead, and naturally saw the faint blood red in the lamp in front of him, under the hood of the black robe, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his feet moved slightly, only in an instant, he had come to Xiao Xiang's side, and put the cooled medicinal wine back on the stove.

Xiao Xiang was relieved, sighed slightly, and said, "Have you ever heard..."

The black-robed man didn't look up, he only concentrated on warming the wine in his hand, replacing the medicinal wine in the wine cup for Xiao Xiang, and replied, "I heard it." ”

"He can't be fine." Xiao Xiang took the medicinal wine and looked sideways to the north.

"I'm gone, and no one can protect you." The black-robed man's tone was indifferent, but the words he said were not indifferent.

Xiao Xiang stroked his beard and smiled, as if joking with an old friend for many years: "You... As you said, the skills of the old eunuch, you are here, I am afraid that you will not be able to protect me. ”

The black-robed man didn't know if it was a joke in Xiao Xiang's mouth, tilted his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and said: "Facing each other head-on, I'm afraid that I won't be defeated, if I fight with my life, maybe I still have a chance of winning." ”

Xiao Xiang put away his joking tone and said seriously: "You just have to rest assured that you go north and protect him for me, no one in Jianglin City dares to attack me." ”

The black-robed man nodded: "Okay, I believe you, it's just Gu... He didn't say that. ”

"Today is different from the past, if he knows the situation today, he will not have any objections." Xiao Xiang naturally knew who the "he" in the black-robed mouth was, and opened his mouth to dispel the worries in the black-robed man's heart.

"I left overnight."

Under the night, it was the bright moon in the sky, but the invisible clouds and mist rose, and the sky above Jianglin City in early spring slowly fell a trace of chill, which penetrated the night sky, and finally fell on the foreheads of passers-by at night, and then dissolved. Looking up at the sky, the man's calm eyes were full of surprise.

"When the moon is in the sky, how do you know if the next moment will be covered by snow covering the moon and blocking the sky." The man muttered to himself, and when he looked back, there were waves in his eyes, and he didn't know what kind of emotions were condensed in his eyes.

Stretched out his hand to wipe away the crystal of his forehead that had already turned into water droplets, and the jade holding that was originally held in his hand began to twist again, raising his hand to stop the rickety old eunuch who wanted to speak closely, and muttered to himself.

"The world is unparalleled... It's doomed, and you can't fight the sky... But I am already half a son of Shengtian. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
