"Lu Wenhan, Lu Wenhan, in vain, you usually say that the battle group has a big temper and can't hold your breath, why did you drop the chain when it came to a critical time?" said the old man who played chess.

"What the emperor said is, hehe, we don't have the same knowledge as him, come to the emperor and I will accompany you to play chess. Huang Zhanqun smiled and leaned in.

"Don't, I'm afraid you'll smash my chessboard!" the old man stopped.

"Hmph!" Lu Wenhan was not convinced, this stupid big man actually said that he didn't have the same knowledge as himself, if it weren't for the emperor's own reasoning, he would have to reason with him.

While Lu Wenhan was thinking, the old man who played chess shouted: "Qianhan, come and sit down and play chess with me." ”

“...... Be. Originally, Lu Wenhan wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he sat silently opposite the old man and started the game.

After half ringing;

The old man looked at the messy white son on the chessboard, and was killed by his own sunspot without even a little blocking power.

"Alas, your heart is already in turmoil. The old man shook his head and stopped falling.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is really worried!" Lu Wenhan cried with a sad face.

"Question, do you remember the experience of the three of us along the way??" the old man found a topic.

Lu Wenhan recalled:

"If the old minister remembers correctly, at the beginning, the emperor was in exile among the people, and I met a depressed me, and a reckless man who was made difficult by the officials, and the three of us denounced the corruption of Sichuan at that time and a series of policies of the government and the opposition, and also expressed our opinions unashamedly.

Afterwards, the emperor died, the emperor ascended the throne by mistake, the emperor promoted the two of us, and then after studying the two of us to know that their ideas were quite naïve at that time, after which I was in charge of the government and the main army, and assisted the emperor to come up with a series of reforms, so that there was today's Sichuan country. ”

"Were there any ministers in the court who opposed the reform at that time?"

"Naturally, there is. Lu asked.

"Is it much? strong?" said the old man.

"At that time, the opposition was fierce. Lu asked.

"The three of us have traveled all the way, how difficult have we been?"

"Countless. Lu asked.

"Let me ask, among those difficulties, what is the light death?"

"I can't remember much. Lu asked.

The old man asked, "Let me ask you, if you can save the lives of the three of you this time, what choice will you make?"

Lu Wenhan looked at the old man and solemnly arched his hand: "The emperor is all over the world, and the lives of the ministers are not a pity." ”

The old man laughed heartily when he heard this, raised his hand and took out a sunspot from the chess box, and put it in the middle of the chessboard: "Haha, since that's the case, that's enough, look at it! ”

On this day, the three of them played happily, as if they had returned to the feeling of their youth, and the three of them played until dusk, when the two ministers returned to their mansions, and the old man returned to the imperial study to work overtime.

"Your Excellency. ”

Lu Wenhan returned to the mansion and came to the place where birds and beasts were raised in the backyard, at this time, a graceful woman with a white sand mask put down her work and bowed to Lu Wenhan.

Lu Wenhan nodded as a gesture, and then took out a note and handed it to the woman: "This is for His Royal Highness Qianming, you choose the fastest bird and send this letter to His Highness Qianming as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. The graceful woman answered, put away the note and turned to leave.

(Your Majesty, you can sit and play this game of chess in the world with peace of mind, but the minister can't do it, the minister is old, he can't do it, no matter what, the minister can't see the Sichuan country die in his lifetime, even if there is no immortal ancestor in the Sichuan country, the minister will do his best to let the mountain country survive.) ）

Lu Wenhan turned around and walked back to the study of his mansion, looking at his back, he felt quite awe-inspiring.

......

On the other side, Lu Xiaoyao and his party, including Yu Wenlei, went out of the mountain country.

"How far is it from here to the next country?" As soon as he came out of the mountain country, Lu Xiaoyao took out another chicken leg and gnawed it from there.

"At our rate, we should be there in about five days. Yu Wenlei thought for a while.

"I think there's a river nearby, where do we go from?" Lu Xiaoyao said after identifying the nearby terrain.

"There is a Qingshui River, but there are water thieves nearby, once a month, no matter how much you get, you will never come back a second time, it is extremely difficult, and if you take the waterway, the journey will be slow for two or three days. ”

Yu Wenlei tried to dispel Lu Xiaoyao's thoughts.

However, Lu Xiaoyao shook his head: "It's okay, the itinerary is slow, let's go by the water to meet an old friend of mine, as for the water thief, don't worry." ”

"Wang Zu. Lu Qianming hesitated and called Lu Xiaoyao, but then looked in the direction of Sichuan and seemed to feel something, and said firmly:

"Wang Zu, I have been looking for you for more than a month, I want to ask Wang Zu what his plans are, instead of rushing to the mountain country, he will find another way to go to the enemy country, Qianming is puzzled and begged Wang Zu to inform the reason. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao glanced back at Lu Qianming, took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Let me ask you, where does the crisis in Sichuan come from?"

"From that enemy country. Lu Qianming said without thinking.

"Then we are going to destroy that enemy country now, is there still a crisis in Sichuan?" Lu Xiaoyao asked again.

"Naturally, I didn't ...... What?, destroy the enemy country?" Lu Qianming originally replied honestly, but he didn't realize Lu Xiaoyao's meaning until halfway through the conversation.

"Are we the only ones who can be destroyed?" Lu Qianming questioned after a moment.

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Xiaoyao's mouth turned up and chuckled: "Naturally, you can't destroy it!

Besides, let me ask you, even if we return to Sichuan and defeat the enemy army now, will the enemy country really want to destroy us, and will not send a second or third wave?

Lu Qianming thought about it carefully, it was really that reasonable, from the very beginning, there was a non-ending game on both sides, and the people of the First Empire came to attack and were defeated, if they didn't find a way back, how could they convince the public?

Therefore, only the energy can continue to send troops until the defeat of the Sichuan and other allied countries, or the enemy country no longer has the strength to attack, and the Sichuan country on his side cannot be defeated and is not allowed to worship, otherwise the country will be ruined and lost.

So in the end, either the Sichuan State and other allied states died, or the First Empire died.

"It is worthy of Wang Zu, who has thought so thoroughly from the beginning. Lu Qianming said secretly, and then nodded:

"It's Qianming who is stupid. ”

Boom~

A chestnut knocks down.

"Since you know you're stupid, don't talk. Lu Xiaoyao took a sip of wine and staggered in front:

"Let's go! I can hear the sound of the river flowing, and the three of you will have a little competition on the way! Whoever goes to the river first to get a boat out, I will give him a chicken leg to try. ”
