The Generalissimo's Mansion.
Wen Lianmu no longer played with the chess pieces. He sat cross-legged in front of the chess table and looked out the window.
He didn't want to admit that the outcome of his chess game had been decided, but he had to face it.
Looking away, Wang Yiwu, who was sitting opposite him, was still practicing with his eyes closed. Under the calmness, the undercurrent of military evil and blood energy made him sigh more than once.
In terms of his cultivation talent alone, Wang Yiwu is indeed the most terrifying person he has ever encountered. Moreover, he has abnormal self-discipline and hard work, and is never satisfied with his strength.
Sometimes Wen Lianmu had to admire him. He knew very well how much Wang Yiwu valued the matter that Chongxuanzun told him. If nothing else, just "capture" him from the army would cost a lot of favors.
However, faced with the sudden deterioration of the situation, even he was upset, but Wang Yiwu was still completing his daily practice calmly.
Looking down at the big dragon on the chessboard where the white piece was about to be slaughtered, he suddenly wanted to reach out and mess up the chess piece, but with his wisdom, of course he understood that this was meaningless.
How did this game of chess get to this point?
At that time, after luring Jiang Wang away with a "fake news", he "cut off" one of Chong Xuan Sheng's arms and immediately launched an all-out attack.
Jiang Wang is not only the person Zhongxuansheng trusts most, but his strong strength and certain reputation are enough to help Zhongxuansheng deal with many things that are difficult for him to take care of.
Now that he is gone, Chongxuan Sheng really can’t find anyone who can take charge of his own affairs and is absolutely reliable. The identity of the Fourteenth inherently determines that it is impossible to take charge of the overall situation, and he is not good at it. As Chongxuan Chu Liang
Sheng and Chongxuanzun's common cousin, it is not convenient for them to intervene directly.
During the time when Jiang Wanggang left, Chong Xuansheng was indeed a little tired of coping with the difficulties.
When the situation was great, the Jubao Chamber of Commerce suddenly collapsed.
Overnight, hundreds of shops closed and countless properties were divided and sold.
He had anticipated the collapse of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce and secretly contributed to it. As an "ally", he could naturally get the most meat during the collapse of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce. He was invited to preside over Zhongxuan Zun
The remaining business is not satisfied with just defeating Zhongxuan Sheng, but to expand this power to demonstrate Wen Lianmu's ability. It also allows him to earn enough capital for Linzi this time.
But the Jubao Chamber of Commerce collapsed too suddenly, much earlier than expected by all parties.
When a landslide occurs, a chain reaction is inevitable. The Jubao Chamber of Commerce collapsed too quickly. Along with its nominal ally, the forces related to Zhongxuanzun, now represented by Wang Yiwu, were also affected, and their own situation was in chaos.
Wen Lianmu stabilized the situation immediately with extremely superb skills, but he never expected that Su She would make such a "stupid" decision.
When the situation of the Chamber of Commerce was so difficult, he actually gave up external resistance and turned around to stab him and Wang Yiwu. He directly cut off many cooperations with Zhongxuanzun and broke the contract in various ways that hurt both sides... Such impulsive actions!
As an undoubted smart person, he should have an overall view of the situation. He should try every means to unite his allies and struggle for survival. How can he immediately fall out with them just because they took two bites of meat? Even if he is crazy, he should distinguish priorities.
, kill Zhongxuan Sheng first!
Wen Lianmu was good at manipulating people's hearts, and he consciously pushed Su She in that direction.
But Su She was probably driven crazy and collapsed, and his "stupid" choices repeatedly shocked him.
After stabbing his ally and leaving him and Wang Yiwu scrambling for a while, this man actually gave up all the struggles of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, and then ran alone outside Linzi City to ambush Jiang Wang, intending to assassinate him, and did such a reckless thing
act!
Despite this, Wen Lianmu still tried his best to "cooperate". He immediately asked Wang Yiwu to mobilize the back-up force left by Zhongxuanzun and use Zhongxuanzun's influence in the Chongxuan family to prevent Chongxuansheng from inviting Shenlin.
level combat power.
Chong Xuan Sheng was forced to lose blood in Su She's madness. Either only one Jiang Wang died, or more died.
Jiang Wang's ability to survive under such circumstances and counterattack to kill Su She was indeed beyond his expectation.
Su She's strength is probably not as strong as imagined.
It doesn't matter, it's just another round of offense and defense. Wen Lianmu is not afraid of the match.
But Hell Wumen suddenly launched an assassination in Linzi City, and the people under Zhongxuan Zun were suddenly involved in the revenge of the remnants of Yangting, which caught him completely off guard.
What does it mean when the house leaks and it rains all night?
Bei Ya happened to be responsible for this matter.
Zheng Shangming's gang had done it first, and Beiya Captain Zheng Shi didn't sell the face of the Marshal's Palace at all. It would have been good if he didn't "frame" them personally. There is no reason to absolve them. Now he has the emperor's order.
He was in a posture of pursuing and fighting fiercely.
What's even more difficult is that this is ultimately a matter under Chongxuan Zun. Although he personally handed over the responsibility to Wang Yiwu, Wang Yiwu was unable to mobilize the power of the Grand Marshal's Office to provide support. In the same way, Wen Lianmu
There is no reason to mobilize military forces.
Officially, Zhongxuanzun's power can still only rely on the relationships left by Zhongxuanzun.
After all, the fact that Chongxuanzun was trapped in Jixia Academy was equivalent to them binding one arm and fighting Chongxuansheng with one hand. Otherwise, how could we say that Chongxuansheng's move was a stroke of genius!
Because of this inherent weakness, after Wen Lianmu was invited by Wang Yiwu, he immediately chose to pursue and fight fiercely. He wanted to use a storm-like offensive to defeat Zhongxuan Sheng Wuxia and protect his own vital points with offense.
.
But Chong Xuan Sheng survived, and saw through his traps several times. He was forced to transfer Jiang Wang away through conspiracy, and then faced off with strength. This was the choice he came up with the greatest chance of victory after careful consideration.
However, it still failed to succeed.
Even today, it can be declared a failure.
Because of the incident involving the remnants of Yangting, the Chongxuan family also gave up support for Chongxuan Zun's forces and took back a large amount of family business.
Only some businesses that belong to Zhongxuanzun are still surviving.
In the face of Chong Xuan Sheng's foreseeable fierce offensive, it was difficult for Wen Lianmu to have confidence that he could sustain it.
There is always a winner or loser in a chess game.
Wen Lianmu comforted himself in this way.
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Yiwu didn't know when he had finished practicing.
"What else can I think about?" Wen Lianmu smiled bitterly: "I was thinking about how the people under Zhong Xuan Zun got involved with the remnants of Yang Ting. Was it because he was trying to hold back Xuan Chu Liang from attacking Yang? And
Why are you so unwise to act now? Are you thinking that Zhongxuan Zun won the glory of his peers? Why did the Chongxuan family give up like this? There are so many things on my mind that I can’t even figure them out."
Wang Yiwu was silent for a while: "Azun has nothing to do with the remnants of Yangting. Before the Battle of Qiyang, he didn't think that the fat man could really become a threat to him. As for 'giving up', with his talent, the Chongxuan family only needs
If he is not a fool, it is impossible to give up on him. It is just those old guys taking the opportunity to make self-righteous beatings."
"If you can confirm that Chongxuan Zun was not involved in the matter, then it can be inferred from the results that this matter must be a frame-up by Chongxuansheng. But he did it perfectly. I can't find any clues in a short time, and Beiya has another
It is absolutely impossible for him to cooperate with us... At this point, we can only let Zhongxuan Zun come out and find a way to prove his innocence."
At this point, Wen Lianmu shook his head bitterly: "Look at what nonsense I'm talking about. I'm really lost."
In order to force Chongxuanzun into Jixia Academy, Chongxuansheng almost risked the entire harvest of the Battle of Qiyang.
If Chong Xuanzun could come out easily, why would he need to think of a solution here?
There was no trace of frustration on Wang Yiwu's face. He asked, "Is there no good news at all?"
"There are only worse things..." Wen Lianmu said tiredly: "Not only was Chongxuan Sheng cracking down on those businesses, but the Osawada family was so crazy that they actually got involved."
"Didn't the benefits promised to Tian Huanzhang be given to him? Or is he just too greedy?"
"None of them." Wen Lianmu shook his head, a little bitterly: "Do you think I will take advantage of all the benefits and do everything to the extreme? Provoking Zheng Shi and offending Bao Zhongqing are all choices based on weighing. Although I failed,
But they are all within the acceptable range. As for attacking the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, I want to get more capital and more resource advantages to suppress Zhongxuan Sheng. Su She suddenly went crazy... It really caught me off guard.
At this time, how could I use Tian Huanzhang in vain?"
He sighed: "It's Tian Anping. No one knows why he's crazy. Maybe it's just because we contacted Tian Huanzhang?"
Wang Yiwu didn't know what to say to Tian Anping, the notorious "madman".
"Anyway, that's it." Wen Lianmu said.
"What else can I say?" Wang Yiwu spread his hands: "A Zun trusted me, but I ended up like this."
He tapped his heart: "It's not very comfortable here."
"I'm sorry." Wen Lianmu said, "I made many mistakes."
In fact, they were all eager to attack, and the mistakes naturally left after the offensive was resolved. But Wen Lianmu would never comfort himself with this.
Wang Yiwu waved his hand to stop him from blaming himself: "I asked you for help, and I still have this responsibility."
"So." He asked again: "Is there really no other way?"
"Perhaps..." Wen Lianmu said, "You can ask Military Master Chen for advice. Or, you can ask him, the Military God."
The military advisor he was talking about was Chen Zeqing, Jiang Mengxiong's eldest disciple. As the military god of the Qi Dynasty, Jiang Mengxiong was known as Chen Zeqing's successor and Wang Yiwu's successor.
Wang Yiwu shook his head: "It concerns A Zun, and Master will not help me. As for Senior Brother Chen... he is a talented person who plans the country, and his wisdom is not used for this kind of thing."
Even though he was very frustrated, Wen Lianmu couldn't help but rolled his eyes feebly. You really can't speak. My intelligence is only suitable for this kind of thing, right?
But after all, he wasn't in the mood to care. He just grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them on the chessboard.
Wang Yiwu then understood that this game of chess had come to an end.
