Chang'an City, General's Mansion.

Chen Leng was preparing supper in the kitchen, and Cha Ye helped him to help him. The two children were playing in the yard. Xiao Shenning ran over to provoke Xiao Shenji. Come and chase me. Xiao Shenji glanced at her and continued to look at the ants under the tree. Xiao Shenning ran over and touched her again. It was still the same saying "Come and chase me, but Xiao Shenji was too lazy to glance at her.

Now Xiao Shenning became curious and squatted beside Shen Ji and asked, "Brother, what are the good things about ants?"

Chen Ji pointed to the seemingly circling ants and said, "Look, do these ants look like a group of soldiers."

Xiao Shenning curled his lips and said, "I'm all messy, I don't know what's wrong with you. I look at everything like a soldier."

This sentence made the old dean and Mr. Shen turn their heads at the same time. The two of them were sitting in the yard playing chess. One of them was sophisticated and calculating, and the other was a stalemate. When they heard Xiao Shenning's words, they had a deep meaning in their eyes.

"What a pity."

The old dean put the chess piece in his hand back into the box, shook his head and said, "No matter how you go, you will be a draw, you won't go."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "It's a pity that sir, it doesn't seem like the chess that you and me are destined to be a draw in this game."

The old dean smiled and shook his head: "You know."

Mr. Chen said, "I know, so I feel a pity, but some things can only be done with a pity."

The old dean nodded and said, "It's still a pity."

Mr. Chen said: "Lengzi is a person who knows how to advance and retreat."

The old dean said: "He knows how to advance and retreat on the battlefield, but most of the time he usually just retreats, so where can he advance?"

"But he has been moving forward all the time."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "I have never stopped."

The old dean asked a little unhappy: "What if no one gave him a goal?"

He looked to the kitchen, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid he's a very good cook at this time."

Mr. Chen said: "That's not bad."

The old dean suddenly understood and said with some regret: "So that's it."

Mr. Chen understood what the old dean meant, but he didn't feel any regrets or regrets.

He said while packing up the chess pieces, "I understand what sir mean. Mr. means that some of Leng Zi's character follows me. I am a person who is not radical most of the time, but who can retreat if you can, and who can avoid if you can."

The old dean said, "Actually, Your Majesty has some thoughts. Because Leng Zi retreated, even Your Majesty feels frustrated. Your Majesty thinks it has been pointed out very thoroughly, but Leng Zi will always take a step back at the critical moment."

The old dean looked at Mr. Chen and said, "If he doesn't retreat, it might be better."

Mr. Chen said: "That depends on what's going on."

The old dean opened his mouth and finally held back the words that were almost broken, because these words were meaningless when they were pointed out. Not only were they meaningless, they would also make people feel cold and even cruel.

However, His Majesty really had a time when he hoped that Leng Zi would do something. Leng Zi might not have figured it out, but he couldn't take that step.

"I understand."

Mr. Chen looked at the old dean and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Although my Majesty and I don't have as much time as my Majesty, the time when I play chess with Your Majesty is the most special time."

The old dean carefully thought about the meaning of Chen Xiaosong's words, and then understood it after a moment.

Chen Xiaosong means that when he played chess with Your Majesty in Yunxiao City, the Western Shu Road, was the most unsatisfactory and last resort in His Majesty’s life. At that time, His Majesty’s chess path was definitely different from the current chess path.

The old dean thought about these things, so he suddenly realized.

"Sure enough, I'll follow you."

He looked at the kitchen again, and for no reason, that thought came to his mind again.

"Your Majesty always says that Lengzi is the person who looks the most like him."

The old dean looked at Mr. Chen and said seriously: "How come what you taught is not like?"

Mr. Chen raised his mouth, which was very meaningful.

"The food will take a while, why don't we go out for a walk?"

The old dean picked up the crutch, and Mr. Chen quickly helped him: "Okay, I'll go out for a walk with Mr.

The two of them walked slowly outside. The old dean must not be able to walk too fast, so Mr. Chen kept holding him.

"Do you think Leng Zi guessed what His Majesty asked him to do at that time?"

The old dean asked.

Mr. Chen nodded and said, "He has never been a stupid person. He really can't do some things. If he doesn't know, it's okay. If he knows it, how can he do it?"

Chen Xiaosong said this, and the old dean understood that Chen Xiaosong understood His Majesty’s thoughts during that period. Even Chen Xiaosong understood, how could Chen Leng not understand? Maybe he really just couldn’t do it.

"Your Majesty once handed over all the cases about Li Changze to Lengzi for a while, and even excluded Han Huazhi, and even took Han Huazhi's sect to leave Chang'an. At that time, Lengzi understood."

Mr. Chen said as he walked, "How could Your Majesty personally issue an order to kill Li Changze? That is Your Majesty's son, but Your Majesty knows best that Li Changze is the hidden danger of Daning. His mother plans too many things, like wormholes one by one on a big tree. But no matter how many of these wormholes are, it is not scary, and there is no need to worry. As long as Li Changze dies, these wormholes will be repaired by themselves."

These words were already said clearly enough because he knew what the old dean meant by asking him to go out for a walk, and he wanted to explain some words clearly.

The old dean sighed and said, "It would be great if Lengzi was a little cruel at that time."

"not good."

Mr. Chen looked at the old dean and said, "That's not Lengzi, the one that His Majesty likes."

The old dean was stunned.

He thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense, I think of it superficially. I think of the first level, but I can't think of the second level."

The first level he thought of was that His Majesty hoped that Chen Leng would get rid of Li Changze, because Li Changze wanted to kill Chen Leng more than once, and Chen Leng had 10,000 reasons to kill Li Changze. If Chen Leng had done it at that time, His Majesty would certainly not deal with him.

This layer is already a bit cruel.

The second floor that the old dean thought of was even more cruel. The second floor meant that if Chen Leng really killed Li Changze, His Majesty would wake up. It turned out that Chen Leng was so cold that he could do it. If His Majesty felt that Chen Leng was so cold that he could do it, then

"fine."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

The old dean said, "It's pretty good, yes."

"So Lengzi is still the same Lengzi."

Mr. Chen said: "Everyone says he is stupid, but he is not stupid, he has never been stupid."

The old dean nodded: "I'm stupid."

"Sir, you're not stupid either. Sir, just think it's a pity."

Mr. Chen said: "Mr. I thought of it. At that time, even I was hoping that Lengzi would find a way to get rid of Li Changze, but Lengzi never did that, and I felt a pity at that time."

He paused for a moment, as if thinking about something.

"But later"

Mr. Chen continued, "Mr. and I have that idea because Mr. Chen and I have regarded Leng Zi as His Majesty's son and as a member of the Tian family from beginning to end. However, Leng Zi doesn't do it because he never regards himself as a member of the Tian family. He sees it thoroughly more thoroughly than us, and this is how he really knows advancement and retreat."

The old dean stopped and asked Mr. Chen: "So you taught so many places like His Majesty that Lengzi was deliberately.

Mr. Chen did not answer directly, but asked back: "If it doesn't look like it in the bones, can I teach it?"

He helped the old dean and said, "Stay going."

The old dean said: "Yes, keep going, just keep going."

He suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help asking: "Have you ever thought that Your Majesty knew that Li Changze was not a suitable crown prince, so he eventually deposed Li Changze. So those who secretly supported Li Changze really think that even if Li Changze succeeded, would he be a wise king?"

Mr. Chen said: "I never reason with gamblers."

The old dean said: "They are not ordinary gamblers."

He glanced at Mr. Chen: "Will they have other plans?"

Mr. Chen thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can't think of their unique picture for the time being. What is the picture?"

The old dean looked back at Chen Ji, who was squatting under the tree in the yard and still looking at the ant. Mr. Chen looked at him with his eyes and suddenly thought of something, and then his face changed involuntarily.

Gyeonggi-do, Shicheng.

Xue Huayi sat in the study and was stunned for a while. This was a rare thing. He rarely stopped and thought in his mind. It was so empty.

I don't know how long it took him to take back his thoughts from this hollowness, and then I realized that it was almost dark, and he had been sitting here in a daze for two hours.

Geng Yuan came in from outside and looked at Xue Huayi. Xue Huayi said, "If you have anything, just say it."

Geng Yuan said: "I received news that Li Changze moved to Laishui County. Soon after, a village in Qingba County was affected by the spring flood season, he left and rushed there to help the victims."

"That was a small disaster."

Xue Huayi frowned and said, "It's just that half of the village has flooded, and no one has suffered casualties. What can he do when he rushed over? It's not close, so he can delay it casually, and it will take a month to go back and forth."

He looked at Geng Yuan: "I want to know who he met and did in Laishui County."

Geng Yuan said: "There is already news."

He explained in detail what Li Changze had known to have done in Laishui County, and Xue Huayi suddenly stood up: "His trump card."

Geng Yuan asked: "Then, how should we deal with it, sir?"

"He doubted me."
