Not far from the Snow Jade Pavilion, almost as far as the eye can see, there is a slightly low-key mansion, the plaque hanging on the red lacquer door is only simply engraved with the word Ji Mansion, but it is such a mansion that does not see the slightest luxury and luxury, there is no noise of carriages and horses in front of the door, no matter how big or small the officials, they can only dismount and slow down when they pass by, and some people in the army will even silently march and salute every time they pass by, not for anything else, just because this is the first general of Siyue's mansion to bow down.

There is no house guarding the door in front of the Ji Mansion, and the gate is generally hidden, but there are not a few visitors throughout the year. Similarly, compared with the wives and concubines of other adults and countless slaves, the Ji family can be said to have two sleeves, and the hostess does not have one now, and even the slaves are only three. Three men in one line, an honest and responsible groom, an old woman with impaired mobility and a lively girl in her twenties-eight-year-olds, this seems to be all of this great general's mansion.

In a quiet study in the courtyard of the Ji family.

"Da!", "Da!", Ji Lingsheng, who was still at ease in the Snow Jade Pavilion half an hour ago, was sitting on the side at this time, watching the two of them play chess in front of him with trepidation, compared to the calm atmosphere of the two chess players, Ji Lingsheng looked like a little daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, although he had something to say, but he still didn't ask questions.

"Ling Sheng, do you know why I called you over?" the old man with gray temples lifted his opponent's airless disson from the board, and then looked at the chessboard and asked.

Ji Lingsheng shook his head blankly, uncertain, "Then do you know why you are waiting?" The old man's voice sounded again, "Grandpa, you always say that I am too anxious, and you want me to learn to calm down and control anger, so it must be because of this that I am waiting on the side."

The old man nodded imperceptibly, and then asked, "Then do you understand this game of chess?"

Ji Changfeng looked at Ji Lingsheng quietly, and the other person also looked at Ji Lingsheng with interest. Ji Lingsheng was a little dazed, although he was told to go to the study to see the old man and his father as soon as he returned home, and when he entered the house, he saw the two people who had already entered the finale. But it shouldn't have been too late, so I had to flatten my ass and sit aside and wait, as for the game of chess on the table, I really didn't look at it at all, and my mind was full of rhetoric and excuses.

In the face of such a "problem" of the old man, he almost blurted out in a daze, but fortunately he was exposed to the old man's ears and eyes since he was a child, and was dragged on a few rounds from time to time.

I saw Ji Lingsheng put on a serious face and began to comment in a decent manner.

"Grandpa, you have been opening and closing the offensive to constantly pull out the advantage, and strive to eat most of your father's sunspots in one go to win, on the surface reckless and greedy, but in fact, you will be accompanied by a clever and sharp secret hand after each attack to consolidate the advantage, you can be the first to slay the dragon, and you can retreat to defend the river, which can be described as both offensive and defensive. And the father obviously saw this, so just the opposite of you, the father used the step-by-step, steady and steady tactics to gradually eat away the advantages you have established, obviously the father's unchanging strategy has been effective, destroying most of the advantages you have established, it seems that victory is in sight, but I think it is not so simple, the old man, you must also have a good move, although you are surrounded by chess pieces only the power of the remnants of chess, but if you form a situation with the other half, the father has no choice but to attack, but then the foundation has been eaten clean by you, unable to return to the sky, the outcome of this game has been determined Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy！”

The old man is actually not good at chess, he has two hands in the march and battle, and he is not strong enough in elegant playthings, even if Taoguang has been obscure for more than ten years, he is not much better than Ji Lingsheng's stinky chess basket. On the contrary, Ji Xuan is a good hand in this, Ji Lingsheng often sighs that if he can have half the demeanor of his father when he was crisscrossing the nineteen paths, then there may be a reason to get close to the little princess. The old man and his father play chess, and it is generally a scene where the father still struggles with a few hands, and there are very few wins, and Ji Lingsheng also knows this, but doesn't he have to shoot the official?

Hearing Ji Lingsheng's outrageous talk, and finally he didn't forget to pat the two sycophants, the old man's eyes that had experienced half a life of wealth and wealth revealed a smile that could not be hidden, and finally he couldn't help laughing loudly, the sound shook like thunder, even his usually serious and rigid father Ji Xuan, hearing his serious nonsense, couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Being laughed at by the two of them, Ji Lingsheng was a little embarrassed to say more, and after laughing, he looked like nothing had happened in a blink of an eye, and his cheekiness was really thick.

"Then grandpa, why did you call me here?", Ji Lingsheng finally couldn't bear to ask.

Ji Changfeng was silent for a while and said, "Ling Sheng, follow me into the palace tomorrow." Ji Lingsheng was obviously a little surprised by this answer, and after being stunned for a while, he said again: "Okay!", there was a slight excitement and joy in his expression, Ji Changfeng also smiled when he saw his reaction, and sent him away without giving him a chance to ask, Ji Lingsheng did not force him to stay, and went out in high spirits, and his excited back revealed the thoughts in the young man's heart.

Looking at Ji Lingsheng's back, Ji Xuan smiled and sighed, looked at Ji Changfeng, who was looking at Ji Lingsheng's back with a warm smile, and asked earnestly: "Father, won't this really be inappropriate?" ”

Ji Xuan frowned and asked again: "Then what should I do with that girl then? That girl's city government scheming is not under her old son." ”

The old man showed a gangster spirit from the army and the ruthlessness of everything on the battlefield, and said sternly: "After the fall of the tiger of the royal family, she still has to be obedient, what tricks can she play without the tiger skin banner of the royal family?"

Ji Xuan seemed to want to say something, the old man waved his hand, and didn't want to waste time on this topic, in the old man's somewhat pedantic prejudice, the woman who stood behind the glory of the man and taught her husband and children, in this river and lake where men are inferior to women, is destined to not be able to make many waves, at least until now, there has been no plagiarism of the old man to take a straight look, and the old man's opinion has never been slapped in the face.

"It's been sixteen years, and Ling Sheng is also sixteen!", Ji Xuan's words changed sharply, and he let out a long sigh, with a complicated expression on his face.

Ji Changfeng glanced at Ji Xuan, who was sad, sighed, and finally didn't say any decent condolences.

"Father, what do you think of Ling Sheng?" Ji Xuan put away his emotions and looked at the old man, Ji Changfeng frowned, and asked, "Which side do you mean? If you are arrogant, let me do it, and if I can't bear it, I will be the same as you." ”

"Do you think Ling Sheng can continue to cultivate, or how far can he go on this path?", Ji Xuan, who shook his head, asked thoughtfully.

Ji Changfeng laughed, obviously interested, and then said with a straight face: "This kid, if I can concentrate on cultivation, I don't have to worry about it for so many years."

Ji Xuan stood with a smile and waited quietly for the following.

Ji Changfeng's face was helpless when he mentioned this headache grandson, but his eyes were full of love, Ji Xuan did not disturb the old man's reminiscences, but just smiled and listened to the old man replay the past: "Ling Sheng, this child has been smart since he was a child, the same as when you were a child, but his temperament is much more stubborn than you, he doesn't like to endure hardship, but he is also unwilling to suffer a loss, and I only have such a grandson, I am willing and happy to let him ...... by his temperament."

Ji Xuan didn't want to stop his father when he mentioned his grandson, he liked to watch his father talk about his son's joy, and he also hoped to understand his son from his father's chatter.

"Ling Sheng, this kid is very arrogant, but it's a pity that his qualifications are only barely able to cultivate, I have a lot of soldiers with me, and I have a lot of enemies in the court. Those old guys can't get used to me, and they can't do anything about me, they can only think about how to think of Ling Sheng's jokes, and I'm not rare to deal with a group of mortals. Don't look at Ling Sheng who has no heart and lungs all day long, he was more crying than you when he was a child, and it was uncomfortable to look at my baby grandson, and I was not a taste. Fortunately, that rabbit cub's ability is not small, relying on me, an old guy, to be lawless in the imperial city, that Tang Xueyuan is not a self-proclaimed clear stream, he once scolded me for his high achievements after drinking, and he also removed Qin Xiaozi from the military to disgust me that year, why did his son let Ling Sheng fight so much that he couldn't find his teeth in the past two years?" Ji Changfeng said this, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Thinking about Ji Lingsheng's actions, Ji Xuan smiled, and said with a smile: "That group of old guys can't find a place to spread the fire in their hearts, this rabbit cub is quite clever and knows how to borrow power." ”

Ji Changfeng laughed and said loudly: "Could it be that my grandson Ji Changfeng can still let others bully him?"

······

When the father and son of the Ji family talked very happily, in the east of the imperial city, a group of huge palaces rose from the ground, and the palace looked at each other from afar, there was a tendency of intrigue, the outer wall of the whole mansion was simple and unpretentious, but the interior was magnificent, like the most luxurious palace in the world.

At this time, in the main hall in the center, there were three people standing in the hall, two of them were hunched and standing under His Royal Highness, and one of the lean men clenched his fists and replied respectfully: "Lord Wang, Ji Lingsheng is not unusual, but the tiger in the palace seems to have been observing the movements of the prince in recent years."

The last person stood on the top of the steps, and the appearance of a noble man seemed to be monstrous, but he did not speak. This same-sex prince who was tied up by the emperor in the imperial city for 20 years has a clear face, and his appearance can vaguely be seen that he was handsome.
