Chapter 1 Layout

"A good marriage, a thread, the golden boy and the girl will meet today. The magpie chirped, the mandarin duck chirped, and the old man waved the red line in his hand. The beautiful scenery of the good day is now and now, and there is a good relationship in the city of Fengdu, a good relationship. ”

Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of Fengdu City began to sing a nursery rhyme. Today is indeed a great joy, because today is the time when the four princes of the dynasty and the daughter of the general tie the knot. The Taiping Pavilion will definitely not be calm today, and early in the morning there are servants who begin to lay out all the things that have been prepared in advance.

And in the study, Yan Shuiyao opened his sleepy eyes, he actually fell asleep here last night, maybe he was really tired these days, and as soon as he got up from the desk, a guard stepped forward and reported something to him in his ear.

Rubbing his head, his thinking was not very clear, but he still heard the guard's words very clearly, what he said was that Zhao Xu could not attend the wedding today, what did he say that the residual poison before had another attack, and he was unable to move, so let Li Fu take his place.

The old fox cursed secretly in his heart, Yan Shui Yao took the towel handed over by the servant, wiped his face, and rinsed his mouth. Seeing that it was not too early outside, Yan Shuiyao moved his neck, and Yan Shuiyao walked out of the study. At the same time, he ordered someone to invite Mo Yu and Mr. Wen.

The guests who came to the Taiping Pavilion today are completely different from the engagement banquet a few days ago, and the list of people who came to the Taiping Pavilion today is only the magnates in Fengdu City, the so-called magnates are not only the controllers of the power of Fengdu City, but also the nobles among these people. So there weren't many people this time, and there were only twenty-eight people on the list.

Although there are few people, this banquet will only be more luxurious than the previous ones, and only the most gorgeous appearance can hide the intrigues and tricks underneath. Yan Shuiyao looked at the list of guests, among this group of guests, a person's name was put first, and only this person's name deserved to be placed first.

"Has King Wuwei arrived?" Yan Shuiyao asked.

Standing beside him was Mr. Wen, who always had a shocked or expressionless face, leaning over and saying, "Back to Your Highness, an hour ago, the people who were arranged in the Wuwei Palace's Mansion came with the news that they had already left, and I think it's almost time to come." ”

"Okay, come out with me to meet this dying fox. ”

Han Yue really came with Yan Yun, although his current mood could not be seen on his face, but he should be unhappy. And he was the only one with a sword in his entourage, a sword that he would not easily leave. The sword is not easily unsheathed because it has not found a suitable opponent.

"Boy, why, it looks very unhappy!" Yan Yun didn't take a sedan chair, but chose to walk, although it was possible that their speed would slow down in the end, but he didn't care. Maybe he already likes to walk on his feet, and prefers to talk to the people around him while walking.

"It's okay, a story comes to mind. Cold Moon Nunu said.

"What's the story?" Yan Yun asked.

"Does the prince play chess?" asked Hanyue.

"Occasionally. "Yan Yun said.

Hanyue continued: "A long time ago, in a temple, there were two monks, an old monk and a small monk, the old monk was a chess addict, he liked to play chess very much, and often taught the little monk. Although the old monk is old, he has memorized the beginning of 300 kinds of chess games and the steps of each step in his mind, and the little monk follows him to learn, and naturally his chess skills are exquisite. Later, the two often played chess together.

One day the two were playing chess, and just when the old monk was about to win, he found that he was defeated by the little monk's strange soldiers on the side. This time, the old monk had a serious illness because of this, and he couldn't figure out why the little monk would arrange chess pieces there, but for the sake of face, he never asked, but his mood became more and more lost, and his interest in playing chess was gone, and he was thinking about the game of chess that day. The little monk didn't know what the old monk thought, and thought that he was just getting old. Until one day, the old monk was dying in the hospital bed, and called the little monk over and asked about it.

The little monk laughed after listening to it, it turned out that the reason why he would win was to take advantage of the old monk's contemplation, and gently moved the chess pieces on the side, but the old monk didn't see it, thinking that the problem that plagued him was not a peerless chess game, but just a prank, and the old monk finally died depressed.

When the little monk was packing up the relics of the old monk, he found that his room was full of chess games, whether on the paper wall or on the table. The old monk entered the chess game all his life, but he couldn't come out, and was killed by a small chess piece. So, the little monk swore that he would not be contaminated with chess pieces in this life, and burned the old monk's three hundred chess games with him, and went to accompany him. ”

After Han Yue finished telling the whole story, she found that Yan Yun looked at him with a smile, and sighed melancholy, "So, this life is like a chessboard, you must be able to tolerate any chess pieces in your eyes, otherwise, it will be easy to enter chess and difficult to play chess." ”

"You mean the old man is the old monk?" Yan Yun said.

"That's not necessarily, how can a man as eloquent and strategic as the prince be obsessed with illusions and can't get rid of it, it's just that this kind of thing is a game, it's about strength and luck, if the prince's luck is not good, it's hard to guarantee that you can't see the situation that the side chess pieces are changed!"

"Are you warning me?" Yan Yun's eyebrows curled, and a trace of anger condensed on his eyebrows, looking at Han Yuedao.

Han Yue didn't look at him, but looked at the sky, and sighed: "No, to be exact, it's reminding the prince." The chess pieces around you can see, but the ones outside may not be. ”

"Boy, you have something to say. Yan Yun laughed.

"Since it is for the prince to give advice, it is natural that you need to think about it more. Hanyue also smiled.

"No need, we're here!"

Standing in front of you is a large mansion full of luxury like a gold mine, and there are three big characters on the gate facing you - Taiping Pavilion. Although there were a lot of people here today, Yan Shui saw Yan Yun from afar, and walked over with a group of relatives, and at the same time, he naturally saw the cold moon beside Yan Yun, his face changed slightly, but he returned to his original state in the next moment, looking at Yan Yun and smiling.

"It is a great honor for King Wuwei to come in person. ”

"Nephew is polite, such a grand occasion is rare in Fengdu City, how can I not come and take a look. ”

"Lord Wang, please. ”

"Please. ”

Yan Shuiyao took Yan Yun and the others into the Taiping Pavilion, all the situations were on the verge of breaking out, and King Wuwei, a figure who was enough to stir the chessboard, finally entered the game.
