This kind of thing of repaying grievances with virtue has always been unpopular in the Xia Kingdom, no one here misinterprets the phrase "repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances directly", and even, not only the Xia Kingdom, including the whole world, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the court, the people living in this land are accustomed to being simple and direct, if you hit me, I will fight back, or even more ruthlessly, if you want to kill me, I will kill you.

Therefore, it is actually a very normal thing for Gu Qingci not to choose to compromise and not choose to compromise under the pressure of his own people, when Xia Guo made a final decision and even moved out of Mr. Wuji, Yang Zhengming and Qi Hui and that faction may end here, unless Emperor Xia wants to use them again one day.

Because Mr. Wufeng never interfered in the government, the reason why Emperor Xia would consider Mr. Wufang's thoughts everywhere was really out of respect for the prestige of Mr. Wufang, and now Emperor Xia let Yang Zhengming rest, maybe, really rest until he dies of old age.

At this time, the people in the court couldn't help but look at Gu Qingci, they found that this Gu Qingci was really a declining god, as long as the person who offended him, it seemed that regardless of his identity, the result was not very good, Ma Dongyang was in front, Yang Zhengming was in the back, although Yang Zhengming's matter had nothing to do with Gu Qingci, but the reason for correcting it was because of him.

Emperor Xia and Mr. Wufeng have the same thoughts, which Yang Zhengming will never be able to turn over, but Gu Qingci is actually very helpless, he didn't think about dealing with Yang Zhengming, it is normal for the court to quarrel endlessly, but this Yang Zhengming was too unlucky, and he just bumped into the muzzle of Emperor Xia's gun.

Of course, this also reveals a piece of news, Emperor Xia may really have to make a big move, he wants to stabilize the court, and those high-ranking and powerful ministers may become a burden to him, so it's time to come down.

It can only be said to be a coincidence, so coincidental that Gu Qingci happened to meet.

Gu Qingci didn't seem to feel the various eyes coming from all directions at all, squinted slightly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please follow the rules!"

At this moment, the sound of busy footsteps sounded at the door of the main hall, and Xiao Yi quickly ran to the side of Emperor Xia from outside and whispered a few words.

Emperor Xia slowly raised his head, looked at the courtiers, and said slowly: "Regarding the assassination of Lantian County, I have my own decision, Gu Qing will stay, and the others will retreat!"

No one figured out what was going on, but they all left one after another, only Gu Qingci was still standing in place.

Soon, everyone was finished, Emperor Xia slowly walked down, walked in front of Gu Qingci, and said slowly: "The Grandmaster Gu Qiao of Linyuan Cave Heaven is here, and he is playing chess with Mr. Wuji, and he asks to see you, well, what do you think?"

"Grandmaster!" Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized in his heart, Xiao Yu is the heir of the seven mysteries in the world, Linyuan Dongtian, and now he is about to fold in the Xia Kingdom, it is strange that Linyuan Dongtian is not in a hurry, and a grandmaster is here, which is enough to give face to the Xia Kingdom's court.

Of course, in addition to giving face, it is not an act of pressure, Gu Qingci was silent for a while, and asked, "The minister just wants to ask, Your Majesty, your position." ”

Emperor Xia smiled slightly, patted Gu Qingci on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Yu is the heir of Linyuan Cave Heaven and the Seven Mysteries of the World, which is very important to Linyuan Cave Heaven, and as for you, ......"

Emperor Xia pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "If you compare Great Xia to a sect, you are also the seven riddles of the world in my Great Xia, and from the perspective of the country, Xiao Yu is a concubine, and you are my county in Great Xia, and you are my hero of Great Xia." ”

"My position, that is, let go and do it!"

Emperor Xia's voice was very flat and not loud, but it seemed to be sounding on the ground, and every word fell on Gu Qingci's heart, although he understood that Emperor Xia valued his potential and some political language, but he still had a trace of emotion in his heart.

Gu Qing straightened his shirt and solemnly arched his hand: "I, Gu Qingci, will die without regret and be born as a Great Xia person!"

............

In the imperial city, in the heart of a lake, there is a pavilion, there are two people, a white robe of Mr. Wuji, and a blue-gray robe of the ancient bridge, both of them are full of white hair, sitting opposite each other, wisps of sandalwood slowly rise, in front of a chessboard.

Guqiao changed his previous appearance, slowly fell down very seriously, and said softly: "Fifty years ago, I had the honor to meet you, Mr., and I was impressed by Mr. at that time. ”

Slowly twisting up a white child, Mr. Wufeng smiled slightly: "Old, we are all old, now the world no longer needs our old bones, we are old, but the rivers and lakes are still disturbed, and the excitement is still the same." ”

Guqiao shook his head and said helplessly: "Yes, this river and lake is still our time at that time, but it is no longer our era, for the sake of the sect, my old bones have to pull down my face to beg you, sir." ”

Mr. Flawless fell, looked up at the lake, the breeze gently rippled, circle by circle, but at the moment Mr. Flawless looked over, as if a calm face wrinkled, he said slowly: "It's over, you guys are in the line of fire this time, I'm angry." ”

"I know," Furuhashi nodded, "That's why I had to go down the mountain myself." ”

Mr. Wufeng sighed and said: "It's still the same sentence, this is no longer our rivers and lakes, they are all young people, what is going on, it can't depend on me, as for whether to give you face, I don't count." ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Wufeng suddenly said: "Eh, I'm afraid this game is going to be a draw again, let's change another game." ”

"Good!" Furuhashi nodded.

The black and white pieces on the chessboard slowly floated and were retracted in an orderly manner, and the chessboard was restored as good as new.

............

In the Pavilion in the middle of the lake, the two grandmasters talked about the game.

Gu Qingci saw the silhouette of the ancient bridge from a distance, with a clear appearance, a simple Taoist robe, and a pair of cloth shoes, just like an old Taoist priest who cultivated himself, facing off against Mr. Wufeng on the chessboard, both of them were confident, elegant in demeanor, and dusty in temperament.

Gu Qingci knew very well that these two old men were first-class masters in the world, don't say that ordinary people are probably high-powered officials in front of these two people, and they all have to be respectful.

Come to think of it, there is no one in the world more than these two.

Gu Qingci restrained his mind and approached respectfully, just as the battle between the two world's top grandmasters was in full swing, concentrating on the game, no one paid attention to Gu Qingci.

However, when Gu Qingci looked at the chessboard fixedly, an indescribable emotion came to his heart, pursing his lips, not knowing how to describe the mood at this time, or only saying that silence is better than sound at this time.

He has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although he is not very proficient in chess, but he also knows that the real masters of chess should be immersed in the sea, subtle, condescending, or surprising and ingenious, or rigorous layout, one step is ten steps, and the murderous spirit is complete.

Especially when two masters play chess, they should be more imposing.

But the two in front of him, chess skills ...... It's just a mess, messed together, but the two of them are still inseparable from each other, and from time to time they also tout a wave of business, "Don't go to waste chess and don't hit the air, this move is wonderful!" "Chess is a little sharp in a difficult place, and Mr. is like the finishing touch!" "Miao Miao, this step is murderous, and one son is ambushed on all sides......"

Gu Qingci looked at it for a while, and his face couldn't help but twitch all the time.

It wasn't until a long time later that Mr. Wufeng sighed slowly, raised his hand and refused to let go, and said, "If this son goes down, I'm afraid there will be a draw again!"

Gu Qingci's eyes widened, and he looked confused, is there a tie in this chess?

However, Gu Qingci couldn't help but speak, the two had already tacitly accepted the chess pieces, and Mr. Wufeng looked at him with a smile and asked, "Qingci, you have been watching us play chess for so long, how do you feel?"

Gu Qingci couldn't help but twitch his cheeks, and said with a smile: "The students watched the two of them play chess, and they were refreshed, well, they felt a lot of emotion, but it was difficult to explain, it was difficult to finish!"

Mr. Wufeng said lightly: "It's no wonder, the two of us have played chess all their lives, they have never tasted defeat, today there is fate, I thought I could divide the victory and defeat, but they are also invincible, alas, it is a pity, it is a pity, I will meet a good talent, chess meets an opponent, but there is not much time, it is a pity!"

Guqiao also took care to say: "It's a pity, Lao Dao has never played chess all his life, and he has never been so happy as today, rare, rare!"

Looking at the two old men with infinite emotion, Gu Qingci felt a little panicked in his heart for a while.

After a long time, the two great masters finally came out of the difficulty of finding their confidants and the thousands of emotions when they met.

It was only then that Mr. Wufeng noticed that Gu Qingci was still standing, pointed to the stone bench, and said, "Sit down!"

Gu Qingci arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Mr. Wufeng waved his hand and said, "This Dao Master, do you know him?"

Gu Qingci stood up, bowed and saluted: "Junior Gu Qingci, I have seen the predecessors of Guqiao. ”

Guqiao smiled and said, "No need to be polite, why are young people nowadays so straightforward, no temperament, not fun." ”

Gu Qingci smiled faintly and did not speak.

There was a sudden silence in the air, and for a long time, Gu Qiao slowly squinted his eyes at Gu Qingci, and said softly: "Why don't you speak, shouldn't you ask me?"

Gu Qingci smiled and said, "Why do juniors ask, since it is the seniors who come to look for me, they will naturally say something if they have something, and they will naturally leave if they have nothing to do." ”

Guqiao pursed his mouth and muttered: "It's boring, you kid is very bad, I have to ask my old man to speak, then okay, since that's the case, I'll go straight to the point, I want you to let Xiao Yuhe's stinky boy who is not angry!"

Gu Qingci already knew why the ancient bridge came, so naturally he would not be surprised, and said lightly: "I'm afraid that the younger generation will touch the wishes of the seniors, Xiao Yuhe sent someone to assassinate me in front, and I am a cautious person, and I can't do anything to repay grievances with virtue!"

"But he didn't send someone to assassinate you!"

Without waiting for Gu Qingci to ask, Gu Qiao explained it and said: "Actually, Xiao Yuhe didn't know anything about your assassination from beginning to end, and he didn't know about it until the end, when your Xia Kingdom surrounded the embassy.

But there is no way, and I don't know what the stinky boy did, he was so prodigal and unruly at the beginning, and then after meeting the princess of the Yan royal family, it was like losing his soul, and he was desperate to marry the princess, and now it's okay, for the sake of that princess, he went to bear this matter alone, alas......"

Gu Qingci didn't doubt the truth of what Gu Qiao said, there was no need to doubt it, and there was no need to tell a lie in terms of Gu Qiao's identity, and besides, Gu Qingci had a relationship with Xiao Yuhe, and with Xiao Yuhe's attitude of protecting his wife, it was normal to do this kind of thing.

However, Gu Qingci still shook his head and said: "Senior, even if he didn't do it, so what, he came out and took it by himself, his own choice, even if he was kneeling, had to go, could it be that just because he was taking responsibility for others, I had to choose to settle the matter?

"Yes, yes. Guqiao said: "Naturally, I can't just let you put it down with such a sentence, don't say that you don't agree, I'm embarrassed myself, what's more, Mr. Wufeng is still here, I can't beat him." ”

Gu Qingci looked at Mr. Wufeng thoughtfully, and Mr. Wuqi smiled slightly, passed the voice, and said: "The ancient bridge is here, Xiao Yuhe is afraid that it is really not so easy to kill, don't look at this old guy with an indifferent appearance, but for the inheritance of his Linyuan Cave Heaven, he is afraid that it is possible for him to die in this capital." ”

Gu Qingci frowned, and before he responded, Mr. Wufeng continued: "Of course, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will support you, this old guy dares to fight, and I dare to fight him, not to mention that this is Chang'an City, and it is not the turn of Linyuan Cave to come here to be presumptuous." ”

Gu Qingci secretly pondered for a while, and said: "Senior Guqiao, what I, Gu Qingci, am fighting for is not my life, but a breath, Xiao Yuhe and I have no grievances, but I almost died, if I want to let go casually, this is simply impossible." ”

Guqiao smiled faintly and said: "I'm not a person who can negotiate, before I came, the royal family of Yan Kingdom and the bottom line of Linyuan Dongtian told me, and I will say it directly, I will go to the Gu God Sect for you, and declare to the whole world, if anyone has the idea of beating your brother Liuli Golden Silk Gu, I will greet them one by one, to ensure that your brother is not bothered by the matter of Liuli Golden Silk Gu, you can rest assured and boldly walk the rivers and lakes." ”

"In addition, Xiao Yuhe will be grounded for five years, not out of the Linyuan Cave Heaven, and also, in half a year, my Linyuan Cave Heavenly Sword Shrine will be opened, and you can get a place to enter, this is the compensation condition of the Linyuan Cave Heaven, and the compensation condition of the Yan royal family is that they will not participate in the battle for the Black Domain for ten years, and at the same time, there is some basic money, and the leaders of the Three Kingdoms Imperial Court will not participate in the competition. ”

Gu Qingci frowned, and said: "I have seen the sincerity of Linyuan Dongtian, but the Yan Kingdom Imperial Court is completely insincere, it's not that I'm arrogant, why don't Xiao Yu come out, I'm afraid I'm here, this black domain is fighting, and there is nothing to do with him Yan Kingdom." ”

Guqiao touched his head with a headache and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Gu Qingci said lightly: "Meng Qi, she provoked this matter, and she should give me an explanation of the most!"

Furuhashi nodded and said, "What do you want?"

"In addition to the above conditions, add one more article, degrading Meng Qi to a commoner, and he will not be allowed to enter Handjing, the capital of Yan Kingdom, for the rest of his life, let alone go to Linyuan Cave!"

Guqiao pondered slightly, nodded and said, "But!"
