In the afternoon, the sky is clean and dust-free, the sun is bright and warm, and the capital finally ushered in a warm spring in the true sense after the continuous heavy snowfall. Suddenly, the birds fly north, and the flowers are blooming in spring, which makes people particularly comfortable in this quiet afternoon.

In the backyard of the palace, the spring mood is stronger, a scene of purple and red, birds singing and flowers, but a few people sitting in the octagonal pavilion in the middle have no intention of enjoying the spring scene. King Yin and Tianji sat on both sides of the stone table, a chessboard was placed on the stone table, and both of them stared at the black and white chessboard, playing nervously. The woman on the side has bright eyes and bright teeth, the cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty. This woman is Zhao Yuyan, the princess of the dynasty.

On the other side, there is a woman who is childish and childish, with moth eyebrows and man's eyes, fairy appearance, and Chu Chu moving, it is actually the moon shadow Erxuan who has not been seen for a long time. Now she adds fragrance to her red sleeves, pours tea and tastes tea, and her expression is indescribably focused, and she has a quiet beauty. Moon Shadow's personality is changeable, and she often shows a sense of brutality when she gets along with the heavens in private, but in front of people, especially in front of King Xian, she seems to be extremely blue-hearted, and even the princess of the current dynasty who is also outstanding can't help but fall for her temperament.

The chess game has reached the final stage, from the chess surface, it is undoubtedly the Xianwang who has the advantage, and his onslaught is almost overwhelming, just cut off the long dragon in the corner of the Tianji, then the Xianwang can win. Therefore, King Xian's heart also calmed down, raised his head and looked at the heavenly machine with an ancient complexion, and chuckled, just turned his head to admire the amazing face of the delicate girl. Tianji looked at such a virtuous woman, his eyes were flickering, and suddenly, he seemed to see the bright moon with the best temperament in the world.

But the years have passed, the beauty is not there, and it has only increased a little ethereal and melancholy, and the virtuous king came back to his senses, looked deeply at the seemingly delicate woman, sighed lightly, and moved his gaze to the chessboard.

The seemingly contemplative heavenly machine was actually already confident, and the corner of his eye had already seen all this, and he knew that the woman had already been seen by the scorching eyes of King Xian. Tianji is a little self-deprecating, but also a little sighing, such a delicate girl can't escape the shackles of fate. Today's Tianji is a little sentimental, not only sympathizing with the fate of the moon shadow, but also sympathizing with the princess's suffering, in his opinion, the only thing that can change all this is to change the dynasty, but he never thought that the virtuous king is just a person who is obsessed with power, where will change the fate of these women who have been regarded as tools. Rao is himself, and under the strategy, he will inevitably sacrifice too many people. The desire for power is the cause of this chaotic world.

Zhao Yuyan had just received the news that the young master of the Gu family had died for him, although he was a little surprised, but it was nothing more than that, and the young master of the Gu family was just a tool for them to reach the pinnacle of power. She looked at the chessboard in a daze, knowing that it was close to the end, but what surprised her was that it was the Holy Lord who took the initiative, not the heavenly machine that had always been strategic, could it be that her imperial uncle had always retained his strength?

Moon Shadow lowered her eyebrows and helped them pour fragrant tea, ignoring the changes on the chessboard, because Tianji told her that when she saw the Holy Lord, she only needed to show her best side, and she didn't need to pay attention to the rest, if she was valued by the Holy Lord, then her status in the Holy Gate would be even higher, so that she could better help him Tianji. In fact, this woman has never been keen on those ethereal powers, but when she heard Tianji say that she could help him like this, she suppressed her true character and showed her most beautiful image, but she didn't know that Tianji's original intention was to let her get the favor of the Holy Lord, because only in that way, the Holy Lord and her double cultivation would be of great help to the Holy Lord's martial arts. Yin and Yang Gong originally requires a man's true emotions to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and vice versa.

Seeing that Tianji made another move, King Xian smiled in his heart, and said to himself: "Do you still want to resist?" He was not in a hurry, he lowered his head and took a sip of fragrant tea, that is, he stretched out his hand and put the sunspot on the neck of the white dragon, and in an instant, the sunspot cut off the dragon. Then, King Xian raised his head, smiled, and said, "Strategist, you lost" After that, he didn't wait for Tianji to answer, he stretched out his hand and climbed on the lotus arm of the moon shadow who had been sitting upright, which shocked the figure of the beautiful person, that is, he lowered his head, but the afterglow of the corner of his eye was like a gaze cast by Tianji for help.

Tianji's face remained unchanged, and when he heard King Xian's confident words, he looked at the chessboard in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head, stared at the happy Tianji, and said, "Holy Lord, that may not be" "Oh?" King Xian sneered and shook his head slightly, in his opinion, Tianji was just unwilling to admit winning or losing.

Tianji saw that King Xian didn't think so, and he didn't care, but pinched up a white piece and put it in the empty space in that corner, such a drop not only surprised Tianji, but Zhao Yuyan on the side was a little surprised, and some wondered where Tianji's confidence came from, but Tianji is a person who never says big things, but this step is obviously a dead move, so how to turn defeat into victory?

King Xian stared at the move taken by Tianji, and said suspiciously: "Military Master, this is obviously a dead move, isn't it a joke?"

King Xian was a little confused, not understanding what the heavenly machine was doing, and asked: "Strategist, you are so ......" Before he could finish speaking, his words came to an abrupt end, because he had already seen that the white chess pieces that had fallen into death were actually connected and formed, and there was a new way out. This chess is alive

Zhao Yuyan looked at Tianji with some surprise, and then, she laughed at herself, if it weren't for Tianji's ability, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the ability to be the crown of this shadow guard. King Xian raised his head and said with some frustration: "The talent of the military advisor still impresses me, I think that Tianji has always retained his chess strength, let this king, until the last half of the eyes to win, it can be regarded as giving this king face." ”

Tianji shook his head lightly, raised the teapot and took a sip of tea, that is, he said: "People say that chess is like life, I use a game of chess to observe you, trying to understand what I doubt in my heart, this is not a let, but I have a purpose." ”

"Oh?" King Xian's face changed, he looked at the chessboard with low eyebrows, and said suspiciously, "I don't know what the Daoist military master is wondering about."

Tianji turned his head, looked at the courtyard where spring was getting stronger, and said softly: "For example, why would the Holy Lord let the Ye family grow big in the rivers and lakes?"

King Xian chuckled lightly and sighed: "This king lacks opponents, so he needs to train a few opponents to fight with this king" Tianji sneered, shook his head lightly, turned his head, looked at King Xian deeply, and sighed: "It's okay, I hope the Holy Lord won't let me down."

Without waiting for King Xian to answer, Tianji raised his eyebrows and said, "Is he back?" King Xian sighed lightly and said, "Yes, he is back, it seems to be even more powerful than before, and I am looking forward to the big battle at that time." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to take a little longer. Tianji sighed slightly, staring at the sparkling pool of clear water in the courtyard. "Why is that?" said King Xian, furrowing his brows.

Tianji looked at the appropriate Xianwang, and felt a little funny in his heart, with his intelligence, he could naturally think that Xianwang was afraid that he had already known about the upcoming events, but the master didn't want to say, so he naturally didn't want to ask. Tianji still replied: "I watched the sky yesterday night, and found that the emperor star was shifted, and the star was disordered, which is a great omen, and I think that something big will happen in this north, so that the holy ancestor worship ceremony will definitely be canceled." We still have to plan ahead. ”

King Xian bowed his head and said: "The affairs of the Holy Gate have always been the sole responsibility of the military division, and I am very relieved that you do things, but this time, I was taken aback, I don't know why you want to demonstrate to the Ye family?"

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Tianji has long been accustomed to this, I saw that he was not panicked, still sipping fragrant tea, as if thinking, for a while, he suddenly said: "Is the Holy Lord talking about the actions of the Holy Gate Killer Group the day before yesterday? This is my mistake, because the Holy Lord ordered me to go and teach the Dongfang family a lessonδΈ¨I don't think it can be delayed, that is, I sent all the members of the Holy Gate Killer Group, and planned a beheading operation, and successfully killed the Dongfang family master." Besides, I think that since we have helped the Ye family so much, why should we tell them that we sent someone to send Dongfang Shuo's head over. I don't know what the Holy Lord of the Dao cares about, isn't it because I didn't do well?"

King Xian was speechless for a moment, so he had to bow his head and taste the tea silently. Tianji chuckled and asked, "It seems that I was really wrong." I thought the military advisor wanted me to kill the Dongfang family in an instant. ”

"It's good to destroy the Dongfang family, but this demonstration is a bit reckless, if it arouses Ye Meng's anger, I'm afraid that my Holy Gate will also encounter a fierce blow next. King Xian wondered.

Tianji raised his head, stared at King Xian, and said in a deep voice: "Master, don't talk about me, I didn't agree with this matter in the first place, if we don't care, it is natural that the Dongfang family will take refuge in us, then Ye Meng is not worried." But if we intervene, it is tantamount to invisibly doing the Ye family a great favor, is it also wrong for me to use the heads of the people we killed to deter them? So what about you who have been helping the Ye family invisibly?"

"Presumptuous" King Xian rose sharply, his clenched fist creaking. Although Tianji is dissatisfied, he has fundamental respect for King Xian, and when he saw King Xian rise in anger, he knelt on his knees, but his head was still stubbornly raised. When Zhao Yuyan saw this situation, she was shocked, this was the first time she had seen the quarrel between King Xian and the military advisor, and she knelt down in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Huang, don't be angry, so as not to hurt He."

Moon Shadow saw that King Xian was furious, and Tianji was still so stubborn, for fear that King Xian would be unfavorable to Tianji, so he turned his body, leaned against King Xian's body, and bowed his head and whispered softly in King Xian's ear: "Holy Lord, don't be angry, let the slave family pour tea for you, okay?"

Tianji slowly stood up and glanced at Moon Shadow with some appreciation. At that moment, he seemed to think of something, so he turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuyan, and then said loudly: "Holy Lord, we are afraid that we will die in the Jiangnan plan." The young master of the Gu family died in Jiangnan, and the sons of the rest of the families were all escorted back to the capital by Gu Xiang. No matter who pleads, he won't let anyone go, I'm afraid he's waiting for your will. ”

King Xian's heart moved, and he wondered: "How did this young master of the Gu family die?" "It is said that he was killed by Ye Jiuzhong's move...... Tianji said solemnly. After saying this, Zhao Yuyan's body trembled, and she suddenly raised her head, looked at Tianji in a daze, and said suspiciously: "Really?" Tianji bowed slightly, his face full of deep meaning. Yuyan Qiao's face flushed, and she lowered her eyebrows and thought, as if she thought that this Ye Jiuzhong killer was related to herself, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this woman like this, King Xian couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this swift was afraid that he would fall in, he thought about it a little, and said: "This old man Gu is really willing, his grandson was killed, but he is the same as a person who has nothing to do, it seems that General Ye Qing does have a close personal relationship with him." ”

Tianji sighed, and asked, "The adults of several families have come to ask you, I don't know what you mean?"

"Huh...... I want to come to Mr. Gu to bring me to the army, I can only give face, go in person, military advisor, prepare a sedan chair, without further ado, I will go to the capital prison now. King Xian said in a deep voice.

Tianji knew that King Xian had said this, so he chuckled and said, "I have already prepared." ”

King Xian was speechless for a moment, so he had to bow his head and taste the tea silently. Tianji chuckled and asked, "It seems that I was really wrong." I thought the military advisor wanted me to kill the Dongfang family in an instant. ”

"It's good to destroy the Dongfang family, but this demonstration is a bit reckless, if it arouses Ye Meng's anger, I'm afraid that my Holy Gate will also encounter a fierce blow next. King Xian wondered.
