Wangchuan Tower

By the time Mengdie came with a freshening up, Gu Shiyan was already sitting in front of the desk, his neat robe hanging down to his ankles, and he was going out after a simple tidying up, and he was going to the chess academy today to answer Mr. 's questions.

Chess to be edicted, the so-called "edict", that is, the holy edict, to be edicted is still waiting for the order, in the Hanlin edict is not ranked, the chess academy is not gorgeous, but with the black and white between the changing situation is generally cleverly arranged, it can be seen that there are people here to care. When Gu Shiyan arrived, Tian Yuan was already waiting for him in the pavilion, and the snow was thick last night, and he was still sitting in a light robe, with the right amount of fragility and tenacity that made people feel detached. Gu Shiyan also took off his cloak, and sat down after receiving the other party's signal, his back was straight, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he was humble.

The white world is white, the people are black, Gu Shiyan is dark, white, and preemptive. The conventional layout, both sides are not surprisingly quick to settle.

"Young people are vigorous, heavy on the middle and light layout, and the fierce victory is certainly hearty, not far away, looking at the overall situation, and it can be sustained." "It is said that life is like chess, playing a wonderful game is grand and long, making a mistake is abandoned, and the chess is dead. Tian Yuan is not only the teacher of the chess academy, but also the teacher of the emperor.

Gu Shiyan is a smart person, and he immediately understood the deep meaning of the teacher's words. "Whether it is the children at the entrance of the village, or the prime minister and the king, they must understand the stupidity of the group, and if they are more refined, they may be able to understand that they must give up in times of crisis, but unfortunately some people don't even understand who is the first to start, and it is not surprising to lose."

"Punch the master to death, maybe one day I will be defeated by an inconspicuous person at a chess booth under which tree?"

"It's unknown to beat the master, but some things are a foregone conclusion." Tian Yuan's heart was determined by this, and outdated ideas suddenly sprouted. "Maybe I've been stranded in this lake for too long, forgetting that the sky is high and the sea is wide."

With a rare expression of warmth, Gu Shiyan was a little overwhelmed. Tian Yuan got up and walked to the lake, Bo Xin was silent like a forgotten jade, "We'll see you again, I don't know which chessboard it is." ”

Gu Jue's actions are fast, and today there will be a twist and turn in front of the saint, but it seems to be throwing a stone into the sea, the Shence Army is always paying attention to the twists and turns in front of the emperor, Gu Jue's is not pressed, and he didn't expect this road to pass. Gu Shiyan followed Tian Yuan to wait for the holy car in the Ganlu Palace, he thought that there were still some days, but he didn't expect that today he would directly start the hand-picking of the chess edict, which was also Tian Yuan's farewell.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Tian Yuan and Gu Shiyan knelt down separately to greet the holy driver. "Sir, please." The emperor personally picked up Tian Yuan, and at the same time motioned for Gu Shiyan to get up. "Li Zhao can't stand it."

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, there is nothing to stand it. This uninvited came, it was Weichen who had a request, and asked the emperor to fulfill it. Tian Yuan wanted to worship again, but Li Zhao hurriedly stopped.

"Weichen's chess skills have not improved for many days, and his days in Hanlin are really boring, and I ask the emperor for permission to leave the palace and gather new knowledge." Li Zhao looked at Mr. 's firm eyes, knowing that no matter how hard he decided, it was useless, and he didn't want to get involved with him over trivial matters. "Of course you can, but I'm worried about the safety of my husband, so I asked the inner chamberlain to prepare the accompanying items."

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, just go out to study and experience, it is not appropriate to be extravagant for Weichen, Weichen is no longer Hanlin to be edicted, let the villain arrange it himself."

"One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, then according to Mr. will."

The entrance to the palace.

The plain carriage is not conspicuous among the celebrities of the scattered families. Gu Shiyan wanted to say something, but a thousand words turned into speechless. The vermilion wall is far away, and the eaves are high, like the remnants of a dangerous cliff.

Mengdie handed over the letter, saw that he was distracted, put the letter on the side of the plate, and got up to leave. The envelope is wordless, and a Qingwei private seal is diagonally on the seal.

When I opened the letter, it was Gu Jue. Today, I haven't heard of any abnormalities in the Shence Army, and it's useless. With a quick scan of the letter, he threw it into the stove and watched it turn to ashes, at which point he would finish the sorbet.

Mengdie was about to lead people out of the car, but when she opened the curtain, there was no one inside, and the morning court clothes were neatly folded in the place where the son was sitting just now, and she was relieved to see that the small dish was empty. After pretending to meet the pile of clothes, Mengdie came out and rewarded the coachman, "You go back first, my son-in-law is asleep inside, and when the time comes, I will ask the little maid in the yard to send you the car." The coachman looked at Mengdie's face, looked like he understood, and walked away with a smile. Mengdie is not a little girl, so she naturally knows what this person is thinking. I took out a burden from under the seat, carefully put away the son's official uniform, and went home with the food box.

From a distance at the intersection, I saw Hong'er looking anxiously, "Why are you waiting here?" Hong'er was about to take over the burden, and Mengdie stuffed the food box in her hand into her hand first. Sister Mengdie, Lord Guogong is here and says that she wants to talk to her son. Hearing this, Mengdie quickened her pace, "You put away the food box and come to the study to find me." Hong'er nodded, but it was just a food box but the whole formation was like a big enemy, Mengdie looked at the girl's back and was stunned, and accelerated towards the study.

"Gu Guogong is good~" I saw a little girl with eyes behind Mengdie, Gu Guogong was puzzled, "What about Yan'er?" Mengdie's face was sad, "Yu Guogong, Gongzi entered the palace today, coinciding with Lord Tianyuan's study tour, Gongzi said that he wanted to go together, and the slave couldn't persuade him......"

"Study tours? The New Year is coming soon. ”

"Gu Guogong, don't worry, the son is also reluctant, and I ask the slave to hand over this chess book to you." Mengdie hurriedly handed over this month's chess book to her relatives, so she coped with it.

"Sister Mengdie, did Childe really go out to study? It's cold. Hong'er was holding the bowl, and it began to snow outside the window again. Mengdie was piling up a small mountain of meat, sandwiching a cabbage leaf, a mouthful of happiness, seeing that Hong'er was not serious about eating, she sandwiched a piece of plum cabbage and meat to her: "Don't worry, Childe is more powerful than you think." ”

It was dark in the afternoon, and snow began to fall in Chang'an. Snow, snow non-stop.

"Shut up the stall!" Xiao Er put away the cloth shed supported by the roadside, and then turned around, the stool and bowl were empty, and when he touched the money, he put the bowl in the steaming pot, and washed it home with hot water.

There are fewer and fewer people on the streets, and everyone is hurrying.

The nameless official road, a white horse stepped on the snow and came quickly, but the snow did not hide the people, but the appearance of the people did not come. With a long and narrow cry, the horse stopped sharply, and was overtaken by the wind and snow, and when the front hooves hit the ground, the hat was covered with snow.

The two of them were relatively speechless, and there was a chill in the murderous aura, and there was always someone who couldn't hold their breath first. A crossbow bolt flew out of the wide cloak, and the snow didn't affect his accuracy, and the arrow pointed at the center of his eyebrow.

"Bell!" The whole body of the arrow is made of King Kong, maybe it was too late to clean it up in a hurry, maybe it was also the master's life and death spectrum, and the tail of the arrow was dyed dark red with blood.

Without giving people time to breathe, three arrows were sent out again, and the target was still the man in white on the road. Damn the snow, there is no one on this road. Suddenly, the calf seemed to be caught by iron tongs, and the whole person fell under the horse. Three more arrows along the hand, "Poof! Burst! Burst! "Hammer into the snow.

There was only one vacancy, and he turned behind him, his feet were in the middle of his legs, and the man in black knelt in pain. Neatly found the crossbow quiver on his arm, swept it down his arm, and fell to the ground with the flesh on the back of his hand, and was kicked to the side. The horses had already run away in frenzy, and the snow was black and white twisted together in the white expanse.

Seeing that the most competent weapon had been removed, the man in black was in a mess, and he actually received three palms with a gap in front of his chest.

Gu Shiyan finally touched the dagger on the inside of the man's boot, and immediately stuck it in the mouth of the person in front of him, crushing the wrist bone one after another. The fingertips tipped the thirty-seventh mark on the ring, cutting off the two old ones, and crunchedly straight there.

"You're in luck." Now they are still running on the road, and those who are not for themselves are poor people. Gu Shiyan took off the leather box on his chest with a dagger, "I don't know your name, I won't kill you." The dagger left its mouth, and the snow fell to cover the bloody face, and the new one came out and washed away the old snow, like a fish that had just been unloaded from a net, and finally ended itself.

Accustomed to this kind of scene, he opened the box, and a jasper key was embedded in it, and only the ball of red spikes floated in the wind. Peel off the conspicuous lines on the leather case and close it away. The man in black was lying on his back in the snow, his legs folded back, his clothes didn't look special, and he only took out half a lifecard with no words from his waist, and there was no antidote. Gu Shiyan dragged him off the road, the snow did not stop, and the top priority was to find the antidote as soon as possible.

Night, late at night, Wind and Snow Mountain Temple

The temple is very small, and Gu Shiyan nests in the corner of the door. The clothes on his shoulders were removed, and the hidden weapon had been submerged in the flesh, like a very thin needle, and the shoulder socket seemed to have a red mole. Fang Cai only cared about looking at the contents of the box, and only felt a little tingling. Gently caress the wound and there is no foreign body. Close your eyes and breathe to feel the changes in your body, the final blow of a dying person should not be so calm.

Gu Shiyan leaned against the wall, the box was on his waist, and it was very easy to lose temperature when he fell asleep in such weather. Watching the north wind cross the dilapidated threshold and blow the prayer flags, the Buddha's face is smiling, and the dark light floats. The heavier the snow outside, the more reassuring it becomes, and now it's like a secluded sanctuary.

Calculate the footsteps, this trip is to inspect the goods tonight, wait for a long time, tomorrow must be found along the road, this place should not stay for a long time.

Tie your belt tightly, get up, and look around and see if nothing is missing. Suddenly, the idle clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone silently into the small temple, quenching on the little broken snow, and the ground was full of pearl salt. Seeing that God, a figure gradually appeared in this silver pool, Gu Shiyan held his breath and stood sideways in the shadows, looking at the slowly enlarged figure. The sound of stepping on the snow gradually became clearer, and carefully distinguished, the footsteps of the people who came were vague, but the steps were brisk, and the respite of the trek poured into the small temple with the wind and snow. A good Assassin never takes the initiative to preset the depth of an enemy, and it is matched by a lot of patience.

He didn't move, and neither did she.

That's right, it's a man who came, and it's tall on the street, but his thin body immediately halves his momentum. What is on the back, wrapped in felt cloth, and the bottom bamboo strip reflects the moonlight, so it can be clearly distinguished that it is a book. It's really the best sanctuary within a few miles.

He walked in straight and walked in, knelt on the ground with ease, kowtowed to the nameless god, and slowly cleaned up the snow on his body. Standing in the moonlight, Gu Shiyan couldn't see his face clearly, like a kapok tree scattered in the wind, and many white broken cotton danced in the moonlight.

As it sounds, this person's martial arts skills are not high, and if you are bold, this person is a nerd. The nerd didn't notice that in this small temple, apart from him and the Nameless God, there was another, right next to the door, and the nearest one was only an arm's length away.

The felt cloth was removed and spread under the offering table, but the offering cloth had long been rotten and could not block the wind through the hall, so he found a prayer flag hanging on the nameless god and barely covered it. Stuff the book under the table first, then tuck yourself in.

The moonlight is shining, which is definitely generous on a snowy night, and seeing that there is gradually no movement under the table, it is a good time to leave.

As a qualified Assassin, even a high-class Assassin, he definitely maintained a consistently high standard when it came to sneaking out of the Mountain Temple. This is the indiscriminate punching of the old master, Gu Shiyan's shadow just flashed in the door frame.

"Girl, stay."

Gu Shiyan's figure was blown cold by the wind blowing through the hall, and he turned around, and finally saw the face of the person under the hanging prayer flag by the moonlight. The moonlight also shone on the face of the nameless god, with the smile of all beings, holding the sword in both hands, and looking down on this subordinate.

"Amitabha, only when you and I have never seen it tonight."

The man was in a hurry, and when he got up, his head hit the offering table hard, and the already tattered mortise and tenon made a screeching sound.

"The girl stays, how can there be any reason to let the girl leave." Since he was at his own expense, the man dragged the book out from under the table, turned around to confirm that the person was still there, and re-laid the prayer flag that had been half collected, "What's more, there is no shelter in the vicinity of the wind and snow outside, if the girl does not dislike it, she can come to this case to take refuge." ”

Looking at the person looking at him at the door, he was a little at a loss, this girl was dressed in white, and it was obviously not appropriate to lie under the table where she had slept in.

"Wait a minute, girl, I'll help Veda Bodhisattva wrap around the prayer flag and leave." I took out a smooth branch from the inside of the table, and rehung the prayer flag, "It's not good, it's not good to be occupied by the ghost." ”

Words are always faster than the brain, and by the time you realize that something is wrong, the words are already finished.

"Take care, girl." The man straightened upright, put the book back on his back, and bowed his head and left.

One didn't ask anything, the other didn't say anything. The man lowered his eyebrows and turned sideways to go out, but the book behind him hit the door frame, bringing his body inward, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

Okay, it's not safe here.

When I looked back, I couldn't see the small temple.
