Volume 2 Chapter 112 The chess pieces turn to ashes
The breeze blows through the bamboo forest, and the sound of coolness makes people very comfortable.
The stone tables and stone benches under the bamboo forest are all made of overseas white jade, and the author is also very cool, and the game of chess on the table has entered the middle stage.
Pei Guogong and King Li Honglie were very concerned about this game of chess, and they also showed different expressions at the moment, which seemed to represent the different moods of the two at the moment.
Pei Guogong's brows were light, and although his eyes were aimed at the chessboard, his thoughts were actually elsewhere, so his white chess seemed to be at a disadvantage.
On the contrary, it is Li Honglie, the king of Ping, whose black pieces are in the upper hand, but he is frowning and seems to be facing a very difficult problem to decide.
Nanli Lao Zu, who was watching the chess next to him, was expressionless and silent, as if the chess game didn't care about his business, and it was normal for anyone to win or lose.
A gust of wind blew softly, and a bamboo leaf fell, tumbling and gliding, falling left and right! Pei Guogong looked up at the bamboo leaf and nodded.
"Thirty years ago, the head of the South China Sea Crazy Knife killed all his family members of 100 people, and embarked on the road of ruthless knife cultivation, but because he was too lethal, he committed public anger in the Nanzhou Immortal Cultivation World, was besieged, and absconded with serious injuries, and no one knew that he had a successor to reincarnate. ”
Pei Guogong stared at Li Honglie when he said this, this prince raised his head at this moment, closed his mouth tightly and did not speak, but his expression was gloomy.
Pei Guogong continued: "Who knows that his heir escaped after nine deaths, because he can't do anything to his family, don't kill him!"
"It's not surprising that the Nanhai faction often produces some ruthless people. Li Honglie said.
"But it didn't take long for this knife man to find another heir, this person's background is bizarre, both parents died, but his adoptive parents treated him badly and often abused him, so on the day of this son's sword technique, his adoptive parents' family was also wiped out!"
Li Honglie rolled his eyes and glanced at Pei Guogong, I don't know why the other party is telling him this?
"That He Wujian should be your nephew, right? Fifteen years ago, you painstakingly sent him to the side of the Crazy Knife Commander, and for this reason, you didn't even let go of your sister's family!
"What I did was for the sake of the country's righteousness, what did some small personal sacrifices count?" Li Honglie threw down the sunspot in his hand and said with a sneer.
"What a country's righteousness! The prince was ambitious when he was young, and he once heard that when you were a child, you thought about leading the Northern Expedition to recover the homeland of the Tang Dynasty in the north, and such ambitions are really not easy. ”
Pei Guogong lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Honglie, although the tea was a little cold, but this was his attitude, and he respected the ambition in Li Honglie's heart.
"Thank you Pei Gong. King Ping said.
Pei Guogong continued: "Wu Yuntong, the general of the sailor division on the outlying island, was originally the illegitimate son of a subordinate of your Yongzhou manor, but you were sent into the army by means of multi-party funding and support. ”
"Wu Yuntong has his own luck and hard work, and he can be regarded as living up to the cultivation of this king if he can come to this day. ”
"The origin of the three Yuan Qi Arrows on the day of the Flower God Parade must also be related to Wu Yuntong, right? Those wastes in the Ministry of War can't find this, but Luo Mingsheng of Qianniuwei has found some clues, if it weren't for me to press, I'm afraid that Qianniuwei would rush to the villa of your Pingwang Mansion!"
Pei Guogong looked at King Ping with a smile on his face, and then shook his head: "What a stupid move to assassinate the emperor, this is a stinky chess move." ”
"The emperor is mediocre, he actually likes men, I have no heirs in the Tang Dynasty, and this king really can't bear it!" Li Honglie said angrily.
Pei Guogong shook his head and said: "The emperor is indeed a problem, and the prince's worries are indeed reasonable, but taking this kind of means is disliked by the people. ”
"The foolish people know what a fart! Who is the emperor, they don't worry at all, what the old man thinks is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty, what does it matter if the people don't like it, when the new emperor implements the new policy of tax reduction and exemption, they will all say yes, and they will naturally be more sincere in support!"
"In this way, the prince seems to have a point!"
Li Honglie grinned and said, "Look, Pei Gong also said that I have a point, so I approve it?"
Pei Guogong shook his head again and said: "I don't approve of it, the reason is a few words, that is: the name is not justified!"
Ping Wang Li Honglie snorted coldly and stopped talking, and the two seemed to be arguing with each other, but Nanli Ancestor on the opposite side was still unmoved, squinting and seeming to rest.
"Over the years, the prince has been doing some things, for example, to win over the generals of the forbidden army, replace a large number of twelve guards to join your private army after retiring from the army, and then for example, to win over two jiedu envoys, from weapons and armor and other things to give you support, and even let him mobilize troops and horses to lead the Shen Tuhu of the Northern Army, today I am afraid that your private army has set off! The occupation of Nan'an City is also in your plan, right?"
Li Honglie said: "I know that Duke Wei and Duke Lu are all old foxes, so Cao Zhao and the others can't believe it, who doesn't know that you Pei Gong is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Tang Dynasty! But Pei Gong ......"
He leaned out and forced Pei Guogong to say, "What do you mean by having to lift all these things in front of me today?"
Pei Guogong drank the cold tea in his hand and said with a smile: "I just told the prince that you lost your chess!"
"Lost! Impossible! Now the situation at sea is under my control, and the emperor and his ministers on the island are my hostages!" Li Honglie roared.
Pei Guogong looked up at the sky, he saw that it was the southern sky, and said: "Is the situation on the sea? It should be over." ”
The situation at sea was indeed over, and when the black-clothed Taoist priest showed his magic and was frozen for thirty miles, the entire sea surface turned into a few feet of solid ice, and all the good ships were completely frozen and unable to move.
And the large number of forbidden troops and feather forest troops who had retreated to the docks of the island did not have to stay on the ship to be lambs to the slaughter at this time!
These people are infantry soldiers, and compared to the officers and soldiers on the opposite island, they are naturally not familiar with water, but they are brave on land!
On the contrary, the soldiers of those sailors were extremely powerful at sea on the ship, but they were no match for the forbidden army on land, and the tide of the battle was quickly reversed!
When the forbidden army and the Yulin army launched a large-scale counterattack, the sailors and soldiers made a mistake again, they did not jump off the ship in time to flee for their lives, but held on to the ship under the command of the general!
Then the outcome was easy to settle, when the forbidden army used fire to attack and several large ships caught fire, all the officers and soldiers of the naval division knew that the defeat was decided.
The battle did not last long, all the officers and men of the outlying island naval division surrendered, and dozens of officers under Wu Yuntong were either killed or captured, and the entire rebellion was assessed.
When the black-clothed Taoist priest lifted the ice sealing technique, the sea reappeared, and the emperor and the ministers boarded the dragon boat under the escort of the twelve forbidden armies and sailed towards the dock port of Nan'an.
Ping Wang Li Honglie naturally didn't know about this situation, he still felt that he would win and not lose, but at this moment, Nanli Ancestor, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke:
"The prince has lost! Your chess pieces have not worked! It is useless to keep them!"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, three black chess pieces flew out from the chessboard, and the three chess pieces were in key positions in the entire chess game.
"Puff puff!"
The three chess pieces in mid-air suddenly burst into flames, and under the magic spell of Nanli Old Ancestor, they burned here, and within a moment, they turned into flying ashes and landed on the stone table.
Looking at the chessboard on the table and looking at the entire chess game, Li Honglie's face suddenly seemed to be ashes, and then he glanced at Nanli Ancestor with a strange look in his eyes, this red-faced old man, but he didn't look at him at all.
"Lao Zu has been my old friend for many years!" Pei Guogong explained.
"I see!" Li Honglie smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Everything is in your Pei Gong's calculations, and sure enough, you are a chess master." ”
"No, my chess strength and computing power are not as good as my junior brother, I forgot to tell you that my junior brother's name is Zhu Mingxu, and he is currently in Dingnanguan. Pei Guogong said.
"In this way, Pei Gong has already made arrangements for the current situation of the entire Tang Dynasty, how can you arrange that uncompetitive emperor?
"Actually, Wei Ziyu's child is not guilty, what's wrong with him? Is it because he is good-looking? And this son's ability is really talented in the eyes of us old guys!"
Li Honglie snorted angrily again, Pei Guogong actually commented on Wei Ziyu like this, and he was even more angry.
“...... As for the emperor? I think that the method of the prince of Dingnan is not bad, if he is willing to have a child with Concubine Shu, won't the situation of my Tang Dynasty having no heir be solved?"
"You said that...... Li Jingtian: He is also involved?" Li Honglie said in surprise.
"You've sent someone to assassinate him several times, can't he still react?" Pei Guogong said with a smile.
King Ping raised his head and sighed, all the means he arranged seemed to have failed now, if Nanli Ancestor was arranged by Pei Guogong, then it seemed that he would have no way to survive today.
"Pei Gong, you have to understand, the matter of giving birth to a child is accurate, if the emperor gives birth to a princess, with his attitude towards women!
"At this point, the prince of Dingnan said it well, King Ping is a side branch of the royal family, but after all, he is also surnamed Li, your San Lang Li Jinglong's moral and intellectual character is simply very good, if you really want to establish an heir and have no choice, your San Lang will do it, so that you can also go on the road with peace of mind. ”
"That's all what the prince said? I can't imagine that he actually ...... Can you accept it?" Li Honglie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, he is also a side branch of the royal family, and they are all the same!"
