At this time, King Huai was very calm. He sat on a stone platform surrounded by soldiers, fiddling with chess pieces in his hands. He had been focusing on the chessboard in front of him. The endgame formed on it was the final endgame between Liu Yu and Meng Chuliang. In this endgame, both sides seemed to have a chance, so King Huai was also lowering his head and thinking about something.

Liu Yu did not expect to see the enemy's leader, a hero, in such a situation. If King Huai came to him, there was only one explanation to him, that is, he already knew his true identity, and the leaker was probably Liu Liniang.

Liu Yu searched Liu Liniang's figure in the crowd, but found nothing.

"This is His Highness, King Huai, please salute."

When he arrived at the stone platform, Zhou Ying reminded him.

Liu Yu pretended to be very frightened and bowed to salute. King Huai was originally intoxicated by the chess game. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw a man who looked like a man from the north standing not far beside him. He smiled and nodded, but he did not have the airs of many heroes.

"Little brother, please."

King Huai gestured at the front of the stone platform, meaning that Liu Yu would sit down. The stone platform was very smooth, and he could only kneel cross-legged or kneel on it. Liu Yu pretended to be respectful and said: "The people of the grass dare not."

"Why do you have to be polite? Don't think of me as a king. I am just an ordinary chess friend. When I see such a wonderful chess game, I feel itchy. Then I will come out and meet you and make friends."

King Huai said it easily, but Liu Yu didn't think things would be as simple as he said.

It is obvious that he is not a good person to be able to stop him at Shuixi Gate so accurately and bring so many officials. Tonight, the assassination incident occurred in the Huai Palace. Will this Huai King be counted on him?

Now Liu Yu is also considering. Once King Huai knows his identity, will he kill him? As the current right-hand man of the new emperor, he has killed him, but the relationship between the court and King Huai is very delicate. It is the time when the court envoys enter Huai. Once Liu Yu is in trouble, it means that both sides completely break up. It is not realistic for King Huai to suppress the news.

"A Caomin dares not make mistakes in front of the King of Huai." Liu Yu said, "Camin's chess skills are still far from that of Meng Xiangguo. Today is just good luck and smooth chess."

King Huai laughed and said, "Brother, you are not only good at playing chess, but also quite modest. You can play so many moves, and you can keep it firmly without any leakage. You can think about three steps in each move. If you are not a master, you may not be able to play chess in the world."

As he said that, King Huai took out a chess record, and Liu Yu glanced at the firelight of the torch. However, it was the whole chess record of the afternoon. Meng Chuliang could remember exactly what was happening, and it was rare.

King Huai sighed and continued: "I originally met the opponent of the game, and I really wanted to play with you to find the feeling of playing against the masters. Unfortunately, you are in a hurry to leave, but you are going back to the north?"

Liu Yu replied: "This is exactly what happened when you go back to the King of Huai. There are some things in your family in the north that you must hurry back and handle, and you cannot stay in Huai for a long time."

The Huai King's face regained a little majesty and said, "I know that there is a guy in the north who is very restless and always wants to fight against the Turks. I guess it's just that little brother, you heard the news that the war is going to start there. When the war begins, your business will come. Is this right?"

"His Royal Highness Huai is talking about the Marquis of Dingguo?"

"Yes, it's this old guy. He is about the same age as me. When I was in the capital, I saw him very stubborn and had a stubborn mind. No matter what he knew, a few cows could not come back. This time the court sent him to pacify the Turks. Do you think he would give up if he didn't make a name for himself?"

Liu Yuxin said, there is a reason for this!

Now King Huai Shiyou knows his identity, but he is talking nonsense here. It is obvious that he wants to tell him, don’t expect your father to come back to save you! The Marquis of Dingguo will not hit the wall and will not look back. The border army has been divided outside the battle for this civil war.

"The decision of the imperial court and the marquis of Dingguo is beyond the reach of the people."

King Huai smiled and said, "Yes, you see, I'm talking nonsense when I meet opponents. In fact, I just want to say that you should go back to the north as well. As the border war begins, your business opportunities will come out. When the north settles down and you have less business, you will come to Huai and I will play chess with you."

It is obvious that the provocation is made.

Liu Yu's heart became furious, and the King of Huai was a little too arrogant.

King Huai continued to think about the chess game in front of him, and did not speak, Liu Yu was not leaving or staying. At this moment, the river bank became lively again, and a graceful figure dressed in military uniform escorted a young man over. When he arrived in front of King Huai, the woman pushed the tied prisoner forward, and the young man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The king is merciful. The villain is blinded by lard. Please be merciful. The villain will definitely atone for his sins."

The woman was Liu Liniang, and this young man Liu Yu had never seen her. Seeing that the young man was wearing beggar clothes, he obviously wanted to make up and wanted to get out of Jiankang City, which was that he offended King Huai and wanted to escape and ascend to heaven.

Liu Liniang looked calm at this time, looking unattainable, and she didn't see any charming expression. Not only did Liu Yu feel surprised, but even Zhou Ying, who was beside him, did not expect that Liu Liniang would appear in front of him again in this way. Zhou Ying didn't know Liu Liniang's true identity at all.

"Wenliang, little brother, are you surprised?" King Huai smiled and looked at Liu Yu and Zhou Ying, "Actually, Li Niang is not the weak and unpretentious woman in front of you, but a heroine. Even compared to the famous female general of the Dashun Dynasty in Chang'an City, she is not inferior at all. Haha, do you think it is very different from what you saw before?"

Liu Yu hurriedly put away his eyes looking at Liu Liniang when he heard the voice, but Zhou Ying looked at Meng Chuliang with a calm expression in confusion. Meng Chuliang said, "Go back and tell you."

King Huai's eyes turned to the young man kneeling on the ground and shivering. The merciful reincarnation on his face disappeared, and he changed into a cold face, even a little cold.

"Shaoyi, I once valued you very much. There are so many descendants of the Lu family, only you are a talented person. Your grandfather once said to me like this." King Huai seemed to be sighing, and changed his subject, "Did you spread this hatred on me after your Lu family suffered a disaster and began to feel unjustly?"

"The villain dares not!" said the young man still lying on the ground.

"Don't dare?" King Huai sneered, "If you don't dare, you dare to leak the information from Huai land and help them assassinate me. Do you know what a crime this is?"

The young man just kowtowed blindly. Maybe King Huai was very kind on weekdays, and he also hoped to use such a way of being brave enough to admit his mistakes to win King Huai's understanding.

As for the Lu family, Liu Yu had heard of it before. The Lu family was once one of the three major families in Huai land, but later due to the rise of the Zhou family and the Yun family of the other two major families, the Lu family gradually lost power. Later, although the Lu family paid a lot of tribute to the Huai land, the land was occupied by the King of Huai, and the head of the Lu family also committed suicide. Later, because someone rebelled by the Lu family, the Lu family was removed from the list of wealthy families in Huai land.

This young man named Lu is probably the only remaining bone and blood of the Lu family. According to King Huai, the assassination tonight is likely to have something to do with him.

King Huai sighed and asked Meng Chuliang, "Brother Meng, what do you think this person should be dealt with?"

"kill!"

Meng Chuliang said coldly.

King Huai sighed: "I owed the Lu family at the beginning, and Shaoyi did not intend to put me in danger this time, so it would be better to spare him once. Wenliang, what do you think?"

King Huai turned to Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying is now a little confused about the intention of King Huai, and he still follows King Huai's words: "What the king said is, it's better to keep him a life to see what he wants."

"Yeah." King Huai nodded, not knowing whether he agreed with Zhou Ying's statement or nodded subconsciously, "The crime of death can be spared from the crime of living. Little brother, if you are a business person, what should you do if you are a traitor who is traitor who is traitor in the inside, what should you do?"

Liu Yu didn't expect that as an outsider, King Huai would ask him for his opinion.

Liu Yu said respectfully: "The people dare not discuss the affairs of military and national affairs!"

"What a man who dares not argue, you are right." King Huai sighed, "Everyone should know his identity, what he should do, and what he should not do. It's like a minister, you must have the heart to serve the king and know that you should make peace and stability. Look at him, have you done this?"

No one answered the question of King Huai.

King Huai turned his head, continued to look at the chessboard, and shouted: "Cut!"

Then the man surnamed Lu was dragged down by someone, and a silly pig-like howl came from afar.

The Qinhuai River under the night was a bit desolate. Even though there were many people here, because of the existence of Huai King, you could only hear the sound of the wind. Huai King thought for a while and said, "Little brother, go back to the north. Go back and play this game with Meng Xiangguo. I expected that although this game can last from the beginning to the endgame, you will still lose in the end. Believe it or not, you will know if you look back."

When King Huai spoke, he was like a wise old man who was making a conclusion on a game that had not yet decided on his winning or losing. But Liu Yu knew that the outcome of this game was still in the 50% or 5% of the chess, or in other words, King Huai’s words were pointing to him in another way to the battle for the world.

This game of chess is like a portrayal of the battle between the court and the King of Huai. The court lost its car at the beginning and was at a disadvantage. After that, although he fought to the endgame, he was still unable to make a comeback. This is what the King of Huai should mean.

King Huai looked at Liu Liniang and said, "Liniang, you can help me deliver the guests. There are many checkpoints on the waterway outside the city. If you are not there, I am afraid that this ship will not reach the big rivers, so go and go back quickly."

"Yes!" Liu Liniang respectfully accepted the order.
