Ziyang City, the residence of the King of Shu, Lu Yiping is playing chess with the King of Shu.

The two of them fell like flying.

The King of Shu smiled and said: "Yiping, your chess skills are much stronger than last time, you played two games, but you only lost one and a half of this king." ”

The two have finished two sets, each winning one game, Lu Yiping in the first game, and the third son in the final game, while the king of Shu, who was the first in the second sentence, won four and a half sons.

Since the last time Lu Yiping accompanied the King of Shu to play chess, the King of Shu played chess with others again, and the outcome was no longer based on the game, but on the sub.

As a result, there are many people who are willing to accompany the King of Shu to talk about a few more games, and the King of Shu's chess skills seem to be even better, and he has the posture of sweeping the Bazhou chess world.

Lu Yiping twisted a white piece in his hand, looked up after the chessboard was settled, and said, "It was the king who let his ministers go." ”

The King of Shu laughed and said: "It's not that this king let you, but because this time it's because this king is a little uncertain!"

Lu Yiping hurriedly got up and leaned over and said, "I am willing to solve problems for the king!"

The King of Shu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, sit back, and then go on, didn't the king say, you and I will play three games first." Yiping, you don't know, this king found that this group of scholars in Ziyang City is good at chess, and they used to play chess with this king, always indecisive, grinding and chirping, and now playing chess, the fall is a lot faster, but compared to you and me, it is not a small difference. ”

While speaking, the king of Shu fell again, Lu Yiping's eyelids jumped, the king of Shu's chess skills have improved, and he has learned to set traps, but the means of digging pits are not very clever, he can see it at a glance, how can the ministers in the city who are proficient in the way of the game not see it?

The King of Shu coughed lightly and reminded: "It's all three breaths!"

Lu Yiping smiled embarrassedly, and after his son settled, he said: "How can your subordinates be compared with the king." ”

Seeing that Lu Yiping didn't see the ambush he had set up, the King of Shu felt a little proud in his heart, picked up a sunspot and fell quickly, and said: "Yiping, although the king's chess strength has improved a lot, but you are not bad. ”

Lu Yi's flat skin was slightly red, but fortunately, there was no one watching the game today, otherwise he would really not be able to sit still.

Without thinking, he casually picked up a white piece, pressed it on the chessboard, looked up and smiled: "The king is too famous, and the subordinates are just a little faster." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the King of Shu frowned slightly, but the sunspot in his hand had not fallen for a long time, seeing Lu Yiping looking at him, the King of Shu smiled embarrassedly, and hesitated for a moment on the chessboard with two fingers, and finally chose a place to fall, and said in his mouth: "Yiping, you just made this fairy hand, but it broke the game that the king had worked so hard to set up." ”

Lu Yiping was stunned for a moment, looked down at the chessboard, he really wasn't led by the nose of the King of Shu, but if he said that he broke the game of the King of Shu with one son, it would be a little premature.

Goodbye to the position of the king of Shu, Lu Yiping sighed in his heart, this king really learned chess too seriously, so serious that he couldn't be flexible at all.

At least he Lu Yiping still knows something, when Dong Shixian told him these chess principles, he put the way of martial arts into it, and he generally understood these chess principles.

Whether it is practicing martial arts or learning chess, except for the talent factor, no one can come up to be a master, and it is necessary to study hard and study this way to reach the highest realm.

Lu Yiping, who only regards the game as a pastime, naturally does not make moves on the chessboard as freely as punches, but he understands these chess principles.

He knew in his heart that the King of Shu was also just playing chess to have fun.

There are two kinds of happiness for those who seek happiness, one is to seek physical and mental relaxation, and the other is to seek the happy feelings brought by desire.

The reason why Sima Xiangle was abolished back then was because of excessive indulgence and wanton behavior, and those who were in such a position were the disaster of all the people.

Lu Yiping also knew that it was because no one was willing, and no one dared to seriously talk about chess to the "famous" Shu King of a state, after all, the game was just a pastime, and it was far less useful than having more advice on family and state affairs.

Twisted Zi pondered for a moment, and Lu Yiping was surprised: "Your Majesty, if you don't say it, I really haven't seen it, it turns out that this is a bureau set up by you, but it was broken by your subordinates by mistake." ”

After saying that, let it go, as for the victory or defeat, let it be fate.

The King of Shu did not continue to twist the child, and said with a smile: "This is unintentional, speaking of the assassination of the niece in the last life, isn't it also an accident like a fairy's hand?"

Lu Yiping saw that the King of Shu had no intention of playing, so he put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess jar, nodded and responded: "Thanks to that accident, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to sit here and play against the king with peace of mind now." ”

The game he carefully set up was disturbed by Lu Yiping's indiscriminate play, and the king of Shu was really not interested in continuing to play, and put the black spot in his hand back into the chess jar, he said: "No, no, it's because the king's heart is not stable enough, and he is out of standard!"

Lu Yiping said with a smile: "Why should the king be too modest, if it weren't for the king's words, his subordinates actually didn't see the mystery of this game." ”

The King of Shu shook his head and sighed: "A chessboard, in the hands of you and me, have such variables, the general trend of the world, turbulent, unpredictable, and unpredictable. ”

Lu Yiping, who was cleaning up the chessboard, said while picking up the chess pieces: "I have a king in Bazhou, so it can be seen on a sunny day, and everything is fine." ”

The King of Shu smiled and said: "Yiping, you have a good shot, although this king is not a flatterer, but such good words are in his ears, and he is also in a good mood." ”

Lu Yiping smiled and said: "That's because the king knows people with his eyes and knows what kind of person Lu Yiping is. ”

The King of Shu stood up and said with a smile: "Yiping, do you know what this king admires about you the most?"

Lu Yiping, who had already packed up the chessboard, also stood up and bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, but Your Majesty knows what the king doesn't like about Your Majesty!"

"Oh?"

The King of Shu smiled, "Let's hear it!"

Lu Yiping said seriously: "The king doesn't like his subordinates to tell lies, not only does he not like his subordinates to tell lies, but whoever tells lies doesn't like the king." ”

"Haha, hahaha!"

The King of Shu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, pointed at Lu Yiping and said: "Okay, you Lu Yiping, this king admires you the most, dare to tell the truth!"

Lu Yiping muttered in his heart, it doesn't count when he plays chess.

The king of Shu took two steps and said: "This king summoned you over this time, there is indeed something important, and there is going to be a soldier near Liangcheng!"

Lu Yiping was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

The King of Shu waved his hand and said: "Yes and no, it's about to fight, but it's not really fighting!"

Lu Yiping was confused.

The King of Shu continued to Lu Yiping, who showed a puzzled look on his face: "Not long ago, this king received a secret letter from the King of Xiliang, in which he clearly stated that he intended to take Tibet west and asked me to cooperate with him in a play. ”

"Acting?"

The King of Shu nodded and said: "There is a Tubo horse in Gaoyang City, this is not a secret, when the king found out that there were Tubo people and horses in Gaoyang City, and he also scolded Shangguan Lao Pifu, I didn't expect him Shangguan Qingyun's move was a plan to confuse the enemy." In the letter, he made it clear that he would reveal the whereabouts of the Tibetan people to our people and give us a chance to ambush the Tibetan people. ”

Lu Yiping frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be a Liangzhou scheme?"

The King of Shu said with a smile: "After all, we are our own family, Tubo is just a foreign race, with my understanding of his Shangguan Qingyun for so many years, this matter should be true." ”

Lu Yiping thought for a while and asked: "This Tubo army is far away in Gaoyang City, if the King of Xiliang wants to annex Tubo, why don't you do it directly, and why do you need to borrow my Bazhou's hand?"

The King of Shu smiled slightly: "This is where I look at him Shangguan Qingyun, for more than ten years, he Shangguan Qingyun has not been idle, he sent troops to help the current Tubo King Zalu Duojin to unify Tubo, the Tubo King regards him Shangguan Qingyun as a brother, and at the moment, he Xiliang is still helping Tubo." Yiping, think about it, if Liangzhou hadn't played the banner of the Qing monarch at the beginning, my Dajin would still be the original Dajin Dynasty, would he dare to borrow the hand of Liangzhou?"

Lu Yiping nodded and said: "That's true, but since the king of Xiliang is helping Tubo, why does he meet with his soldiers?

The King of Shu sighed: "This is Shangguan Lao'er's most clever place, I even suspect that he has a master around him to help him with his affairs, Yiping, if you want to annex Tubo, it is not enough to attack by force, otherwise it is stronger than the period of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, and it is also necessary to really incorporate the Tubo Xiongnu and other barbarians into my Central Plains rule." In addition to the geographical advantages, the living habits of the Hu people are different from those of our Great Jin, but why do the Hu people want to offend my Central Plains? It is because in their eyes, the things of my Central Plains are much better than their Hu people, but if they are willing to help the Tubo people, teach them, send the products of our Central Plains to Tubo, and then exchange them for the products of Tubo, so that the Tubo people can see that they can get what they want without having to fight and kill, and no one wants to fight and die!"

Lu Yiping was silent for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, why did King Xiliang need to destroy the men and horses in Gaoyang City?"

The King of Shu smiled and said: "After feeding the tiger, it has the strength, what should I do if it bites you back?" Therefore, its claws still have to be cut, and this whip should also be whipped a few times!"

Lu Yiping thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that my Bazhou is going to take the blame for Liangzhou." ”

The King of Shu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Since Xiliang wants to complete this unfinished foundation of his predecessors, how about I Fan Jingtian help him?"

Lu Yiping knelt on one knee, arched his hand and said, "The king is noble!"

The King of Shu picked up Lu Yiping, smiled and said, "Isn't it here again?" It's enough to say good things once, but it's not beautiful to say too much." ”

Lu Yiping asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what should I do?

The King of Shu nodded and said, "Yiping, in addition to guarding Pingnan City, you must also be ready at any time to respond to Yunshang City!"

"Cloud City, the king means Jingzhou?"

The King of Shu walked to the table and sat down, motioned for Lu Yiping to sit with him, and continued: "Since the accident of his niece in the last life, this king has been on guard against Jingzhou, Yiping, think about it, if Liangzhou is pointing at Tubo, then I have no worries in the west of Bazhou, what do you think he Xie Liangchen will think? Besides, what happened last time, I'm afraid it wasn't that simple." ”

Lu Yiping poured a cup of tea for the King of Shu, and then poured himself a cup for himself. After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates also think so, but this Jingzhou, do we defend or fight?"

The King of Shu was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea first, put down the tea bowl, he shook his head lightly and said: "This matter will be discussed again, and it will not be too late to discuss it after the matter of Jinliangcheng is over." ”

Lu Yiping understood what the King of Shu meant, if Bazhou made the first move, he was afraid that the charge of rebellion would fall on the head of the King of Shu, after all, in this world, the surname is still Sima.

The King of Shu then asked, "Has the person who saved his niece have investigated clearly?"

Lu Yiping nodded and said: "It is a small young man, named Yuan Xi, and his teacher once lived in seclusion in Tianyu Mountain in my Pingnan City, and only when he went down the mountain did he encounter the attack on the little girl, so he took action. ”

The King of Shu was stunned, "You mean it's a teenager?

Lu Yiping smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed Yuan Xi's doing, I have personally asked him, and I have also tested his martial arts, speaking of shame, don't look at Yuan Xi's year is only seventeen, but this martial arts have chased after his subordinates, and I only have a slight upper hand in fighting with him." ”

The King of Shu was stunned and said, "It can be so powerful? Who is his teacher? Can you know this person from the Qingyun Sect?"

Lu Yiping shook his head and said: "I'm ashamed, after the Yuan Xi went down the mountain, his teacher also left Tianyu Mountain, as for his whereabouts, I don't know, I have written a letter to ask the master, and the master doesn't know the origin of this person's footsteps." Na Yuanxi went up the mountain with his master since he was a child, but he only knew that his master called himself a mountain monk, and the internal skills he learned were funny to say, called high and profound internal skills. ”

The King of Shu laughed loudly: "It's a very loud name, presumably his master doesn't want to reveal his details." ”

Lu Yiping nodded and said: "That's true, but the king can rest assured, Yuan Xi is a frank person, acting brightly, and attaching importance to affection, not a small person." ”

The King of Shu looked at Lu Yiping and always felt that something was wrong.

Lu Yiping saw the King of Shu looking at him, and hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, it is the negligence of your subordinates, this Yuan Xi has now been put under my command, and I have not had time to report to the king." ”

The King of Shu smiled: "It's just a subordinate, and you don't need to report everything to me." ”

Lu Yiping wanted to speak and stopped.

The King of Shu glanced at Lu Yiping and said, "You're making an old mistake again, aren't you?"

Lu Yiping said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates came to Ziyang City this time and brought Yuan Xi as well. ”

The King of Shu glanced at Lu Yiping, who was weak and picked up the teacup.

The King of Shu smiled and said, "So, do you want to reuse this person?"

Lu Yiping smiled embarrassedly, "The king's eyes are like torches, but his subordinates promise that this person is up to the task." ”

The King of Shu said: "In this case, if this king doesn't see this Yuan Xi, won't you Lu Yiping say something from the bottom of your heart?"

Lu Yiping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are sincere!"

The King of Shu laughed and said: "A good word of sincerity, then the king will see this Yuan Xi, what kind of ability can you value it so much!"

Lu Yiping sighed in his heart, if it wasn't for his precious daughter, why would he be so anxious!

The King of Shu took a sip of tea and asked casually: "How old is the niece of the world?"

Lu Yiping said: "I didn't expect the king to remember it so clearly, the little girl is just sixteen this year!"

The king of Shu smiled and said: "You got a daughter very late, so this king remembers it more clearly, this king is a little surprised, why don't you want more?"

Lu Yifang looked embarrassed.

The King of Shu laughed, patted Lu Yiping on the shoulder and said, "Based on this alone, you are not as good as this king." ”

Lu Yiping hurriedly added some tea to the King of Shu, and the King of Shu had two sons, the eldest son Fan Jiangong and the younger son Fan Liye.

I have no children under my knees, but I can't take this stubble.

The King of Shu took a sip of tea and said: "Next time I come to Ziyang City, bring my niece to visit, this king remembers that the last time you brought her to the palace was five years ago!"

Lu Yiping sighed secretly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, my daughter is very stubborn, she doesn't look like a daughter at all, the female worker doesn't know anything, she will dance with a knife and a stick every day, and her subordinates are ashamed, so they don't take her out anymore." ”

The King of Shu laughed and said: "This king remembers that Xiao Guan Ju cried my karma in the palace. ”

Lu Yiping felt that it would be better to have an extra game with the King of Shu.

"It's the subordinates who teach their daughters no way!"

Seeing that Lu Yiping's face was a little unnatural, the King of Shu patted Lu Yiping's arm and said, "What are you nervous about? Is this king such a grudgeful person? Speaking of which, this king really likes the character of his niece!"

Lu Yiping sighed: "Your Majesty, if she wasn't so playful, how could the previous assassination happen, and now her subordinates only let her stay at home, and she is almost at the age of leaving the cabinet, and it is not like to go out crazy all the time!"

The King of Shu smiled: "I'm afraid that my niece won't be able to sit still!"

Lu Yiping smiled bitterly: "The king knows the little girl very well, and it doesn't hurt to sit still and wander around the city, in this Pingnan City, if his subordinates can't even protect their daughters, they can't bear the armor on their bodies." ”

The King of Shu nodded and said, "It's better to be careful, a few days ago, Ye'er also mentioned your little Guan Ju." ”

Lu Yiping was puzzled: "How could Xiao Shizi mention the little girl......?

The King of Shu smiled: "It's not that karma holds grudges, it's just that this young man has a bit of a competitive heart." The two masters of Qingyun Sect are in the palace, Ye Er is different from Gong'er, he doesn't like to study, he has been martial arts since he was a child, and this king is reluctant to send him to Qingyun Sect, besides, in order not to have an accident in the future, this king can't send him to practice martial arts, so let Wei Shuai find a master with good fists and feet to deal with karma. ”

Back then, Lu Guanju cried the little prince of the palace, but Lu Yiping became famous, and all the subordinates of the King of Shu knew that Lu Yiping, who had just become the guard of Pingnan City, gave birth to a good daughter.

And Lu Yiping didn't know why Lu Guanju fought with Xiao Shizi Fan Liye, just as a child's fight, and now I heard the King of Shu talk about Xiao Shizi's boxing, and he seems to understand a little.

The king of Shu continued, "When Ye'er practiced boxing in the courtyard, he was bumped into by Xiao Guan Ju, so he said something casually, Ye'er was not convinced, so there was a matter of Ye'er being beaten and crying, speaking of which Ye'er cried not only because he was beaten and lost face, but also because he felt that the king had deceived him and did not find a real master for him to teach him. ”

As for what Lu Guanju said, Lu Yiping didn't have to think about it.

Lu Yiping's mouth opened, and he had to say another sentence after holding it for a long time: "It's the subordinates who teach their daughters no way!"

The King of Shu glanced at him and said: "This is a sentence against his heart, this king is not here to go over the old accounts with you, this is not the two masters of the Qingyun Sect in the house, Ye'er finally seized the opportunity, recognized one of them as a registered disciple, practiced for a while, and consciously grew a lot, no, with a little ability, I remembered the loss I ate when I was a child, and then I mentioned Xiaoguan Julai." ”

Lu Yiping said casually: "Then he still can't beat it!"

The King of Shu coughed lightly, Lu Yiping came back to his senses, hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty means, yes, yes...... The king forgives sins, but his subordinates have no way to teach their daughters!"

The King of Shu glanced at Lu Yiping helplessly and said, "Do you think this king wants to give a royal order, ordering you to teach your daughter at home every day?"

Lu Yiping's mind flashed into his mind, and he changed the topic and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know who are the two masters of the Qingyun Sect from the palace? Who does Xiao Shizi worship as his teacher?"

The King of Shu smiled: "It's Jia Nanfeng, the deputy head of the Qingyun Sect, and his disciple Ning Kai. ”

"I didn't expect it to be Uncle Jia who went down the mountain in person, I have some impressions of this Ning Kai, but I don't know it, when I went down the mountain, he should have only been under Uncle Jia's door for a short time. ”

The King of Shu nodded and said: "This king never thought that Qingyun Sect would order Master Jia to go down the mountain in person, it seems that the parties of the gates attach great importance to this deer cutting building, but unfortunately no one has been able to find out where this deer cutting building is hidden." ”

Lu Yi's face was heavy, and he nodded and said: "This matter is really tricky, after cutting the deer building and assassinating King Lu, it disappeared again, so that people can't find out." ”

The King of Shu sighed and said: "This river and lake is still too free, when I established the Great Jin Dynasty, Taizu was still too merciful to the various sects, and there have been more and more people with unique skills in the past hundred years, and it is inevitable that there will be some people with unscrupulous intentions, forget it, don't talk about this, this matter is just some whining now." ”

Lu Yiping nodded, and then said: "Since it is my master elder who is in the palace, I should pay a visit, Your Majesty, I don't know if it's okay?"

The King of Shu smiled and said: "Why shouldn't this be? It just so happens that you sent someone to call the person named Yuan Xi, and it just so happens that Master Jia is also here, just so you can let him try where Yuan Xi is from!"

Lu Yiping said with a smile: "This is very good, Your Majesty will send someone!"

Yuan Xi didn't expect the general to bring him to Ziyang City, and after arriving in Ziyang City, the general went to the palace, and he waited in the post house.

Yuan Xi wanted to go out for a walk, but Lu Yiping asked him to wait in the post house, and he had to meditate and practice in his room because he was bored.

In addition to practicing, you also have to think about someone.

In the end, it became a practice of thinking about a certain girl.

That's when there was a knock on the door.
