In the inner courtyard of the palace, Tianji was still sitting alone in front of the chessboard, looking at the game of chess that had just been played, stunned, and never spoke. Moon Shadow and the princess on the other side glanced at each other, both of them were a little puzzled by the fact that Tianji had always maintained such a state. In a moment, Moon Shadow finally opened her lips lightly and asked softly, "Strategist, you've been staring at this chessboard for a long time, I don't know what you're thinking?"

Tianji frowned, stared at the chessboard, and said lightly, "I'm just waiting for the Holy Lord." "Holy Lord?" Zhao Yuyan frowned and asked, "Didn't the Holy Lord just leave for more than an hour? Could it be that he came back so soon?" Moon Shadow was also puzzled, knowing that it would take half an hour for the Lu Dao Palace's palace to travel from the prison in the capital, and this time and forth, plus there must be some delay in the prison, would the Holy Lord finish the work so quickly?

Tianji finally saw the last step of the game, he slowly closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and finally raised his head contentedly, and sighed to himself: "He still keeps, hehe, he can see far farther than me, and he can see clearly, but he is always on guard against me, are you really as I think?" Tianji's strange words made the two girls beside him stunned, not understanding the meaning of this holy gate thinker in front of him, is there anyone more intelligent than him in this world?

After all, Moon Shadow has deep roots, and when the beautiful woman saw that the person who was thinking about her thoughts was so out of shape, she couldn't help frowning, and asked eagerly: "Strategist, what's wrong with you?" Tianji heard the soft words, that is, he came to his senses, shook his head lightly, chuckled, and took the question of the second daughter just now: "Don't you think that there is no problem for the Holy Lord to go, it is just our wishful thinking, and Gu Xiang will not let us get our wish?"

Zhao Yuyan pursed her lips and replied with some disapproval: "The military advisor is worried about the sky, the emperor is a virtuous king, and he is extremely powerful in the court, and he can already faintly suppress the saint, can Gu Xiang, a courtier, dare to resist the holy lord?" Tianji sneered, glanced at Zhao Yuyan with some disappointment, and sighed: "Although Yuyan is the princess of the dynasty, she knows very little about the imperial court, and the partisan struggle between the DPRK and China is a political struggle, not the intrigue of the harem that you are familiar with, and there are too many things to think about." Although you are smart, you are still immature in this politics, no wonder you are not as good as Nangong Wan'er now. ”

Zhao Yuyan, who was still smiling a little, after hearing this special name, her starry eyes were slightly wide, her mouth was moving, and her eyes were full of fierceness, obviously she had a considerable hatred for Wan'er. Tianji was not interested in what this woman was thinking, but turned his head, stared at the moon shadow who was looking at him with a little shyness, and continued: "The Holy Lord's martial arts are undoubted, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the entire rivers and lakes, but in the court, it is not possible to kill whoever you want, and you have to think about the impact of doing this, otherwise the Holy Lord would have already killed the Quartet and ascended to the supreme position, and Gu Xiang has this energy."

Seeing Tianji, Moon Ying looked at her with a smile, knowing that his gaze had been discovered by him, he couldn't help but flush his cheeks even more, lowered his eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "Gu Xiangzhiwei, the little woman has also heard of it for a long time, and the folk are even more divine, does he really have such great energy?" Tianji shook the feather fan lightly, thinking of the old man standing at the top of the court, he also said with some respect: "Gu Xiangzhiwei, I'm afraid it's even stronger than what you've heard, do you know why the Holy Lord of the Dao is delayed?" It stands to reason that the prestige of the Holy Lord has long been formed in the court, but the reason why he did not do it is that Gu Xiang is alive, this old man not only has a very high prestige in the court, but also has a very high reputation among the people, and he has all the mysterious power of the royalist faction, and the Holy Lord will not take risks unless it is foolproof. ”

"Then this time......" Zhao Yuyan pressed the boredom in her heart slightly, but thought about what was happening now. Speaking of which, these sons were arrested in prison and had something to do with her, if it weren't for her strong instigation, they wouldn't have come to Jiangnan in groups, and the young master of the Gu family would not have died, so the woman felt a little guilty in her heart.

What kind of character Tianji is, he naturally knows what this beautiful woman thinks, shook his head lightly, and did not say anything, but said in a deep voice: "If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that Gu Xiang is the idea of the four gates of the capital, and he is already in control of the east gate, it must be the south gate or the north gate, in this way, the royalist faction can make the power of the power and influence half of the capital."

"Do you have to compromise?" Moon Shadow was a little depressed, thinking that she was devastated by seeing that the Holy Lord she worshipped had something she couldn't do. Tianji looked at the girl with red lips slightly pursed, and couldn't help but be a little funny, that is, he stretched out his big hand and climbed on the girl's fragrant shoulder, feeling the smoothness of the girl's snow skin a little, and he also smelled the virgin fragrance that was permeating the surroundings, and suddenly felt refreshed, chuckled, and then bowed his head and said: "Compromise? Hehe, a slight compromise in politics is not a failure, maybe in exchange for a rich return in the future." After that, Tianji had already withdrawn his big hand, and the tension in the heart of the touched beauty had also eased, but he still felt a little disappointed about losing the man's touch.

Tianji didn't know what the beautiful woman was thinking, but took out a token printed with "Yu" from his cuff, and then, he stared at the token, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Zhao Yuyan is the princess of the current dynasty, so she is naturally familiar with the things in this palace, so she already recognizes it, and said with some surprise: "Military advisor, this is the command token of the four gates of the capital? Could it be that the military advisor is waiting for the holy lord just to give him this? Do we really want to hand over the control of the gate?"

Tianji turned his head, looked at the princess with an unwilling face on her pretty face, smiled lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, this is no way, the Holy Lord is under a lot of pressure, and the elders of those gentlemen are all exerting pressure on the Holy Lord." If the Holy Lord can't bring back a few sons in a short period of time, I'm afraid that the Holy Lord's prestige will also be hit. Hehe, what's more, it's just a matter of handing over the token, we can still mix in with my Holy Gate disciples among the guarding soldiers, and when necessary, we can naturally take back control" While speaking, Tianji raised the crystal clear jade card, which emitted different colors of light through the sunlight, and in an instant, this ancient pavilion was full of fireflies, and it was very beautiful.

After a while, Tianji's heart moved, there was a slight smile between his eyebrows, he raised the teapot and took a sip of fragrant tea, and then seemed to take care of himself and said: "Look at your gray face, I'm afraid that you will be troubled by Gu Xiang, Holy Lord" Moon Shadow and Zhao Yuyan were shocked when they heard Tianji's words, and the next moment, they turned their heads almost at the same time, and they saw that there was really a man standing not far away, not the Holy Lord, who else would it be?
