Chapter 50: There is a strange array
"Because you hate it."
Who told you Yue people to do that?
"We are the envoys of the Yue country, and you Anguo people should be courteous."
"Courtesy, yes, it's okay to write an IOU." Su Yansheng's charcoal pen flew up.
The Yue people took the IOU and looked at it: "Why is it 10,000 taels!" β
"You will only be charged 5,000 taels in cash, and 10,000 taels will be charged for IOUs. Tong Su is not bullied, if you don't accept it, get out of the way, the next one. β
The man had no choice but to sign his name.
After several Yue people had passed, an envoy from the country was very worried.
They don't have the financial resources to cross the country, and the treasury will not reimburse them for this 10,000 taels.
He took Su Yansheng's IOU, saw that only five thousand taels were written on it, and entered the chessboard with great gratitude.
In the end, only Feng Jiaxian, He Caizhang and Yang Qiong were left.
Yang Qiong and He Caizhang thought about it several times, but Su Yanshang did not allow it.
Feng Jiaxian saw that He Caizhang actually begged Su Yansheng, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
Su Yanshang finally sent Qi Yunyu over and put the charcoal pen into his sleeve pocket.
"Why didn't you write it?" He Caizhang said nervously.
"There's no more paper." Su Yanshang spread her hands, "I can't write an IOU." β
With that, she easily walked onto the chessboard.
"Hey...... Come back - how can you do that? Seeing that Su Yanshang really didn't care about them, He Caizhang turned to Feng Jiaxian and smiled awkwardly, "Cousin, let's rely on ...... It's up to you. β
Feng Jiaxian really wanted to refuse, or just let her fall into the swamp. Before I could think about it, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
The three of them turned around, only to see a horse coming in the thick fog, and the handsome face of the prince of Shinkoku became clearer and clearer.
Feng Jiaxian was almost crying with joy: "The son-"
Then, a few more people appeared behind Qi Yuncang, it was the chess god and King Ning and others.
"Nine-Star Chess Formation?" Qi Yuncang spoke slowly.
"Yes, the prince is well-informed, and this is indeed an ancient nine-star chess array. They're all waiting over there. Feng Jiaxian roughly told Qi Yuncang the news of how they got together and that everyone else had passed smoothly.
She believed that with Qi Yuncang's knowledge, he might guess that the person who stayed behind was the one who was in charge of the chess game and let everyone pass first.
"I've really exhausted myself, the world has come at the right time, whether we can go over or not depends on you." Feng Jiaxian looked weak and wanting to fall.
The chess god Alin had also heard of this ancient chess formation, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes in this Qingluan Mountain.
He glanced at Feng Jiaxian: Will the defeated men be able to solve the ancient endgame? He didn't believe it.
"What should Miss Feng do next?" Arin wanted to make things difficult and temptation.
Feng Jiaxian turned around with difficulty and looked at the endgame in front of her, she had never seen this game, and it was impossible to quickly think of a way to break the game at this moment.
She leaned slightly against He Caizhang's body, her hands against her temples.
The chess god snorted coldly.
At this time, Qi Yuncang spoke: "Fifty-two." β
Yang Qiong was the first to react and ran over directly. She knew that it was Qi Yuncang who won the chess god Alin that day.
Sure enough, it went smoothly and reached the other side.
Qi Yuncang got off the horse, solved a few endgames, and helped the people on Anguo's side to pass, and the Yue Kingdom had a chess god, so naturally he didn't need his help.
When they arrived at Xiaoshanbao, everyone had already walked a short way forward, only Feng Heng was waiting for Feng Jiaxian, there was no horse to walk, they didn't go too far.
"This doesn't seem like the hill we fell on." A noble lady said, feeling a little desperate in her heart.
"Looking from the other side, I thought it was a small hill, but I didn't expect it to be so high."
They walked down a small hill and went down a small slope, and they have been slowly going uphill all the time.
"I feel like we've been passive all the way through, and we've been being dragged by something to get to the next place." Feng Hengdao.
After walking for a short time, the scenery is becoming more and more beautiful, the forest before is dominated by green plants, but here it is the flowers all over the mountains and fields are in full bloom, the ancient trees are bent and vigorous, and the rattan is bent and entangled, which makes everyone a little excited.
"Why don't we camp here first, it's so beautiful here, there must be something special to have a good meal here." There is a noble lady who proposes.
"If you can find your way back, if you can't find it after dark, you don't know where to rest for the night."
A scoop of cold water was splashed, and the mood of relaxation when I saw the beautiful scenery was gone.
Suddenly, a stone tablet appeared in front of him, and when he walked in, where was the stone tablet, it was a tombstone, and it read "Feng Changning Tomb" on it.
Su Yanshang stopped suddenly, and his heart was shocked. Her mind went blank.
That year, she fell off a cliff with the dead baby she gave birth to, and after being reborn, she found that everyone seemed to know that Feng Changning was dead, and thought that she had left the capital because of her retirement.
Some of these people really didn't know she was dead, but the murderer knew that she was dead and pretended not to know.
She thought that her body must have been eaten by wild beasts at the bottom of the cliff, and no one would bury her, but there was her tombstone here, and there were not many weeds on the grave behind the tombstone, so someone must have swept the tomb during the Qingming Festival.
Su Yanshang didn't suspect that Feng Changning here was another person with the same name and surname, because her heart was hurting! She believed it was telepathy.
Su Yanshang immediately knelt down and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The same five thunders hit the top, as well as Qi Yuncang and Yi Lingyun.
"Sister-in-lawβI don't know, I don't know she's ...... When did this happen? Why does no one know about the Yi family? Yi Lingyun's eyes were red.
At that time, his mother said that his sister-in-law went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, but she couldn't ask which Zhuangzi it was, and then she heard her mother say that the eldest brother had divorced her.
But where to find such a good sister-in-law? The eldest brother actually divorced his family.
He also knelt down and knocked his head deeply a few times.
Qi Yuncang didn't expect that the Feng family had passed away, when he received the letter of reconciliation sent by the other party, he signed it, and went to Biansai soon after, he didn't think about what would happen to her, and he didn't even think about that person - a woman who was full of scheming, vicious methods, and unfilial, why should he think about it.
But his own brother and Feng Changning's cousin looked so sad, even his brother was sad for her, and he was really a person who was used to buying people's hearts.
The other people who saw the tombstone were a little curious, but they didn't know Feng Changning, and they were discussing it, and they were also startled when they saw the two of them kneeling down.
Qi Yuncang didn't kneel, he left directly, and the others followed one after another.
Although the deceased was the biggest, she made the Yi family restless when she was there, and his mother didn't know how many illnesses she had, and she almost killed his flesh and bones, but fortunately, she wrote a book and left, and she didn't have to be buried in the Yi family's ancestral grave.
Qi Yun saw his boss bow down more and more, he also knelt down and kowtowed three times, without asking anything.
The three of them got up and walked in the direction of the crowd.
After walking for a long time, everyone can no longer see the beautiful scenery in their eyes, hunting and eating at noon, and continuing to move forward in the afternoon. Soon they came to a waterfall.
"Look, cousin, there's a piano." There is a bed of lyre on a stone platform jutting out next to the waterfall.
Everyone knows that Feng Jiaxian is the first noble girl in the capital.
A dark glint crossed King Ning's eyes.
This was it, and after this waterfall was the place he was looking for. He hinted to his subordinates.
One of the Vietnamese people jumped to the piano and sat down to pluck.
This operation made people in other countries stunned, and those who didn't know thought he was good at performing, and Qi Yuncang, who was quite knowledgeable, said: "It is said that the sound of the qin master Qi back then could make the water of the waterfall flow backwards, or make the water curtain change, and when the water curtain is opened, people can pass through it." β
Listening to the unbelievable, even if he has internal strength, it is impossible to do it, unless he has the blessing of the formation.
Formation-Thinking of that earth chessboard, he felt that nothing was impossible.
"So powerful? What's Behind the Water Curtain? β
Qi Yuncang didn't know that there was a treasure in the legend.
He glanced at Yue Guo, it turned out that he was really here to hunt for treasure, no wonder he proposed to go to Qingluan Mountain.
But it's just a legend.
"This mountain lies here, and in addition to going directly over the mountain, we can only hope that there will be a cave behind this waterfall or something, so that we can pass through." Qi Yuncang said.
Looking up at the towering peak, everyone wanted to give up, and they all set their eyes on the piano.
"So you have to let the curtain open. Jiaxian, the Yue people can't do it, I have to have you. Yang Qiong said.
The confidence of playing chess has been ravaged again and again, and finally there is something that makes her dominant.
"But I can't fly." She looked at Qi Yuncang, her eyes full of Qiji.
King Ning's guards grabbed the other party's shoulders, borrowed the strength of the mountain rocks, and jumped to the side of the piano in two clicks, and got the violinist down by the way.
The violinist knelt down in front of King Ning as soon as he came: "The string sound is completely inaccurate, the sound of the water is too loud, and I can't tune it." β
"What a crap!"
A dark glint appeared in the eyes of the violinist of the Yue Kingdom.
Feng Jiaxian almost wanted to vomit, but found that it was not Qi Yuncang who took her, but a male guard, and her face was blue and purple.
King Ning smiled evilly.
Feng Jiaxian sat down by the piano, worried in his heart. She had also heard of this legend, but she didn't believe it, but now she really encountered this scene, how could she not believe it.
Can it really make a difference in that waterfall? But what to play?
She plucked a string and snapped, and the string broke.
Her heart sank.
Feng Jiaxian stabilized his mind, plucked the string again, and broke another one.
"What's the matter, the strings seem to be broken!" The noble lady who focused on the piano platform discovered Feng Jiaxian's abnormality.
The violinist of Yue Guo hooked his lips.
After that, from the first string to the sixth string, Feng Jiaxian broke it with one pluck.
The Yue Guo pianist secretly mocked: When he found out that something was wrong just now, he quietly broke six strings with internal force, but ordinary people couldn't see it.
You must not let King Ning appreciate others.
Feng Jiaxian retreated violently, almost falling to the ground, and the person was already sweating.
"Tianxiang, can you fly? Take me up. Su Yanshang said.
He Caizhang looked at Su Yanshang coldly: "You go up?" What do you go up for? I can't play the piano. Now is the time when human lives are at stake, so don't make trouble. β
Jun Tianxiang wanted to draw He Caizhang, but Su Yanshang stopped him: "Don't pay attention to her, go up, just throw it here directly when someone owes it." β
"You-"
Jun Tianxiang flew to the stone with Su Yansheng.
King Ning's eyes flashed. This woman can always refresh his cognition, every time she does something, he looks forward to it, compared to Feng Jiaxian's white lotus that is kind on the surface but actually insidious, this peony with thorns on the surface and rich on the inside is much more interesting.
Feng Jiaxian hadn't reacted when he saw Su Yanshang and the others.
"Cousin, please get up." Su Yanshang said to Feng Jiaxian, who was stunned.
