Chapter 144: The Chessboard

"Well said!" Ye Yuanzhou couldn't help but praise, "Ye Mou has also felt sorry for himself in the past because of his background and experience, and I feel that it is really a little aggrieved to be this captain in Songzhou.

I'm really ashamed to be compared to your heart now! ”

Du Ruo hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you and I still talking about this kind of flattery that flatters each other!"

I just did what a Sima could do!

Let's talk about the national teacher, why did he suddenly say that he would leave? And you don't need a guard to follow, and you have to leave overnight? ”

"That's what I wonder about." Ye Yuanzhou also felt that with the current friendship between him and Du Ruo, it would indeed be funny if you were sitting here and you praised me, and I would praise you, so he brought the topic back to Yuwenque's matter, "I think there is an explanation, he should have some other purpose in Songzhou, but he was delayed by the unsolved matter of the cruelty in my body."

He didn't want anyone to follow, and left overnight, probably because he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, maybe he wanted to secretly visit something.

It's just that he can't trust you and me in this kind of thing? Why don't you even tell us the slightest bit? ”

Du Ruo pondered for a moment, got up and cautiously brought over a chessboard from the side, on which was a chess game that had been decided.

"...... this?" Ye Yuanzhou looked at the game of chess, a little puzzled by Du Ruo's intentions.

"This is the previous national teacher came to me and offered to let me play chess with him, we played two games, the first game he explored my chess path, and the two of us were in harmony.

This is the second set. Du Ruo said, "After playing this game of chess, I didn't let people move, just put it in the study as it was, and I would look at it every day and think about it."

Brother Ye, in your opinion, what can you see from this chessboard? ”

Ye Yuanzhou knew that Yuwenque had asked Du Ruo to play chess before, but he didn't expect Du Ruo to keep the chessboard and not clean it up.

He set his eyes on that game of chess, and carefully observed it for a while: "In this game of chess, the black qi looks murderous, and the momentum is very fierce.

White is a bit embarrassed and hasty, not so much a game as a constant pursuit by black, and careful defense. ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Du Ruo: "You...... Is it white? ”

Du Ruo nodded: "Yuwen Guoshi said that in the process of playing chess, although he said that he was murderous and the offensive was rapid, he also deliberately put a few flaws for me, but because I was tired of defense, I didn't notice it at all, and I couldn't seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory."

I've been thinking about this game of chess for the past few days.

On the second day of playing chess, the national teacher came to my house and talked with me about medical skills and medicinal materials, chatting very casually, mentioning some things, but I didn't care about it at the time, but after you were poisoned, I found out that those were all he was going to use on you.

So I think that the words and deeds of the national teacher seem to have a deep meaning, maybe this game of chess is not just about wanting to play chess with me, just like talking about medicinal herbs, all so that I can see something from it. ”

She pointed to the white pieces on the chessboard: "Do you think this white chess piece looks like our situation?" ”

Ye Yuanzhou looked at it silently, and said with a wry smile: "After you say this, it's really a bit similar." ”

"When I don't have anything to do these days, I'm thinking about this game of chess." Du Ruo said, "I think we have been playing exactly the same game of chess as I have played for a while.

I've always been tired of coping, in a passive state, and being led by the nose.

Regardless of the previous Hongyanlu case, at the critical moment, all the key witnesses were either killed or poisoned, and in the end, they died without evidence, and they just let the mastermind behind the scenes run away, and they didn't even dig out the identity of the other party.

After that, the saint sent us to Yuzhou to deal with the murderous mansion, and we can probably guess the intention of the saint, but since the night attack of the man in black began, we have always been very passive.

We have been busy preparing for when the other party will make a black move, ignoring an important question, regardless of the other party's intentions, at least one needs to be clear - who is their target? ”

Du Ruo's question exceeded Ye Yuanzhou's expectations, and he suddenly stopped him: "Isn't the target for people just us?" ”

Du Ruo shook his head: "I originally thought so, I thought that the other party was because of the Hongyanlu case, and he thought that we had hindered their plans and ruined their good deeds, so he wanted to pretend to be a ghost and wait for an opportunity to get rid of us."

But this game of chess by Yuwen Guoshi gave me some inspiration, and I calmed down and revisited the situation after the appearance of the man in black in the murderous mansion.

At that time, there were only three people there, you, me and Ye Long, after the man in black appeared, he also released smoke, Ye Long and I both inhaled smoke to varying degrees, only you held your breath more timely, and it was better than ours.

In that case, Ye Long could hardly help you much, if the man in black was coming for the two of us, who do you think would be easier for him to kill in the scene at that time? ”

Ye Yuanzhou didn't need to think about this question to be able to respond without thinking: "You." ”

"That's true," Du Ruo thought the same way, "the other party didn't choose to take the opportunity to kill me, but injured you with a quenched sword in the process of grappling with you.

Only you know the process of your fight with the man in black, so can you calm down and remember now, is the man in black in a posture that will definitely take your life, or something else? ”

Ye Yuanzhouzai carefully recalled the situation when he had a fight with the man in black that day, and the more he thought about it, the tighter his brows wrinkled: "Don't you say that I haven't thought about it yet, but now that I think about it carefully, this matter is indeed a bit strange."

Although the man in black was menacing, every move was not directly aimed at taking my life.

At that time, I only thought that he was not as good as others, so there was no way to hurt my life, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that this is not the case.

His every move and style seems to be rushing to seriously hurt me.

Now that I think about this clearly, I don't understand it, if the other party didn't want to kill me, he just wanted me to be injured, but he couldn't get out of it smoothly after hurting someone, and I killed him.

So what was his intention in doing so? ”

"Didn't you say before that some people may not want you to die, but want you to live better than die, so that you can use this to blackmail your father into submission!" Du Ruo reminded Ye Yuanzhou.

Ye Yuanzhou's face became gloomy: "Do you know what you mean by this?" ”

Du Ruo nodded solemnly: "I know, so I can only say it to you alone."

This matter is unfounded, just a guess of our own, so we can't mention it to anyone, we can only have an estimate in our hearts. ”
