The emerald chessboard has black and white stones, the sound of falling stones, criss-crossing, and all the worlds in the ten directions appear in the game.
A long sigh of regret sounded in the emperor's chamber of the Dayao Palace. General Ou Suiliang of the distant country looked unwilling. He was stubborn but didn't know how to save the defeat. After thinking for a long time, he finally lowered his hanging hand and gave a thumbs up to the nine-five-year-old king opposite.
: "Your Majesty's chess skills are getting better and better day by day, and now they have reached the level of perfection. In the end, I will no longer be your Majesty's opponent."
"It was you who taught me how to play chess back then. It's a pity that you were so obsessed with war that you gave up thinking about it. This gave me the opportunity to defeat your master." Yaohuang took the tea and smiled lightly, "Suiliang, if you have the chance, you should fight with me.
Jing'er and Xuan'er play two games to see if their chess skills can be your opponents."
"Your Majesty, the drunkard, is not interested in drinking. On the surface, he said that he would let the general test his chess skills, but in his heart, he wanted to see which of the two princes is better from the general's chessboard. Such an important task is really too much for the general."
Emperor Yao laughed loudly: "What a good Ou Suiliang you are. How many years have passed since I came to the throne. Everyone around me has become mute and deaf. Only you have a clear gut. You can't even say anything."
I don't even have to turn around, but I only believe in you and I can only trust you. Who makes you the little bug in my belly who knows everything?"
"It's not easy to be an official, and it's even harder to be a bug. Even the generals hid in the military camp and were captured by His Majesty. It seems that the generals will have to stay with Your Majesty for the rest of their lives." General I shook my head helplessly, "
However, the important task entrusted to you by Your Majesty this time is really difficult to handle. The two princes each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the general does not know everything they do in front of and behind the scenes. If he starts to investigate, he is afraid of alerting others and causing confusion.
Your Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince’s idea.”
Under the wrinkled eyelids, a gleam of light flashed in the deep eyes. Yaohuang paused for a moment to swallow his tea, and then spoke in a low tone: "I don't want to do this, but Yu'er is useless. He is obsessed with landscapes, flowers and birds, and games all day long.
It’s just about having fun, but in the East Palace, he is still messing around with women, even Jin Zhaoyi...that is the woman I love, and he dares to touch her." He put down the tea cup hard, and a few drops of clear tea overflowed from the cup, reflecting the clear water droplets.
Emperor Chuyao frowned: "Since he has no intention of becoming emperor, I won't force him to do so, so as not to blame me for any misfortune caused by the disobedience of the princes below. Now among the princes, Xuan'er and Jing'er are undoubtedly the most outstanding, even though they are everywhere
Be careful to hide it, I see their cleverness and intelligence, and it is difficult to decide who is more suitable to be the prince. Suiliang, you have known me for many years, and our love has already surpassed that of a monarch and a minister. I hope you can also help me make suggestions.
If this matter is not handled well, I will not be able to rest in peace even if I die!"
"Your Majesty, your dragon body is in good health, why are you talking about life and death? Who to appoint or not depends on your Majesty's words. If there is any dissatisfaction, let them fight. The winner will be the king."
"You are still so straightforward and tough." Yaohuang smiled bitterly and entertained himself with the chess pieces on the board, "These two children are my favorites.
He is not good at what he does, but he is smooth and steady in his treatment of others. He has a lot of important things in the world on his mind, but he always has a ruthless spirit. Jing'er has been living outside for ten years, and his character is somewhat peculiar because he has been used to toleration, but when it comes to sharpness and talent, he is still above Xuan'er.
If the two brothers get into a fight, it will involve countless others, or else the world will be in chaos."
General I understand that Emperor Yao is worried, and he also understands that Emperor Yao complaining to him does not really need his advice. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. After all, it is the position of the emperor. Emperor Yao must have already made up his mind about who should sit, and he cannot be allowed to act haphazardly.
Guidance.
Sure enough, when General I was silent, Emperor Yao smiled lightly and tapped the emerald chessboard. General I looked down, and the black and white glazed chess pieces clearly displayed a word, who will replace Yi Chenyu as the prince, criss-crossed.
The overall situation of the chessboard has been given.
"That's... okay. I just hope that he won't kill each other after he succeeds to the throne. By the way, when will Your Majesty plan to issue an edict to the world?"
"After the Pinghuoluo River Khanate unified Zhongzhou." As if he saw the day when all the people of Zhongzhou came to worship, Emperor Yao's eyes lit up with a strange luster, and his eyes wavered slightly, "At that time, I entrusted the throne to that child, and then
Stand up for the world and no longer care about anything, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and enjoy your old age peacefully with Yun'er."
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and countless of them have been favored. However, in the heart of Emperor Yao, the only true love in his life is Concubine Jing.
"When I seek my career in my position, join the royal family, and sit on the dragon's throne, I have to do many things. I owe too many people in my life, and I have suffered enough from the golden birdcage. The day I can be freed will be considered complete.
. Suiliang, what are your plans? You have not renewed your relationship since my wife’s death, and you only have one daughter. I know you love your daughter, why not show her to Jing’er?”
General Ou was stunned and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Xue Yu is still young, and besides, the seventh prince already has a princess..."
"You feel sorry for your daughter because you are afraid that she will be wronged as a concubine." Emperor Yao's eyes were venomous, and he could tell at a glance that General I was sincere. He sighed and smiled, "Don't worry, you have made great contributions to me in conquering the world.
I will never mistreat the apple of your eye. When she gets married, I will issue an imperial edict and make the girl named Bai my concubine and Xiao Xueyu my concubine. How about that?"
"Your Majesty is trying to embarrass the general!" The general took a breath, and the general smiled bitterly, "The seventh prince and the princess have a deep love for each other. Besides, the princess is proficient in military skills and helped me with my long-distance expedition. I have made meritorious deeds. Instead of reward, I will surrender."
What does her identity mean? After all, she is the princess of Zhao Kingdom, and her adoptive father is the famous General Bai. Please think twice before taking action."
Emperor Yao smiled meaningfully, and the white chess piece on his fingertips fell into the game, making a sweet crisp sound.
"Don't you understand? Because of this, she cannot become Jing'er's official concubine."
Far away from the border of the imperial capital, the Yaoguo army, which had been stationed in place for two days, finally set off again. However, the target was not the Dabang Highlands, the residence of the Jolo River Khanate, directly north, but an area slightly to the east.
.
The investigation of the tunnel was carried out for two full days. At first, the investigation was very slow, almost digging and rummaging inch by inch. On the afternoon of the first day, Bai Qige thought about it for a long time and proposed that the tunnel could be investigated by seepage. Xiao Baishan ordered people to bring five large barrels of lake water from a distance.
Sprinkle pieces on the ground one by one, and soon the tunnel entrance will appear in front of you - the area of Hongqueyuan is almost made of gravel, with a thin layer of soil on top. When water is poured on it, it will quickly seep into the ground. Wherever there is a tunnel entrance,
There will be square dents in the places where the wooden boards are separated. The reason is that the loose soil structure allows the surface soil to seep deeper through the gaps in the wooden boards with water.
Using the ingenious method proposed by Bai Qige, the soldiers of the distant army quickly cleaned up the area and found a total of forty-six tunnel entrances and exits. Then Yi Chenjing gave an order and a large amount of grease, gunpowder and tacks were tied on all entrances and exits.
, once someone pushes the wooden board, it will cause the fire breakers to rub and catch fire, which will ignite the grease and wooden boards. The gunpowder cans piled next to it will also explode immediately.
For the next two nights, there were constant sounds of explosions and flames rising repeatedly.
"The princess's clever trick was to detect all the entrances without any effort. And with the trap set up by the general, those barbarians will only be burned to ashes if they try to sneak attack through the tunnels!" Liang Gong followed the two men happily!
Side, I have been nagging about what happened in the past few days since I set off.
"General Liang, are you thirsty? If you are thirsty, drink more water and talk less. It's cooler in the back. Don't always be an eyesore in front." Not far behind, Xiao Baishan winked and teased loudly.
Liang Gong's face turned red, and then he realized why there was no one else around. It turned out that everyone had hid aside beforehand, leaving only Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige driving together.
"Look at me..." Blushing and slapping his forehead, Liang Gong hurriedly slowed down his horse to distance himself, and before Yi Chenjing's face turned completely dark, he flashed to the rear. Now everyone in the three armies knew about the general.
He and the princess were inseparable, and no one would come over to join in the fun unless absolutely necessary. This was also thanks to the foreign businessman who accompanied the army, Ning Xizui.
"I've warned you before..." Bai Qige squinted her eyes and glared fiercely, furious.
That day, Yi Chenjing said he was too tired and insisted on holding her to sleep for a while. Unexpectedly, Ning Xizui barged in just half an hour after Liang Gong led the way. Liang Gong was a rough man who was born in the army, and he was usually not carefree.
As a etiquette habit, Yi Chenjing reminded him several times to announce before entering, but he forgot about it. It was the same that day, so the two people hugging each other on the couch fell completely into Liang Gong and Ning after the curtain was opened.
Cherish the sight of drunkenness.
What's worse is that Liang Gong is a person who talks nonsense after drinking too much. That night, Ning Xizui took out two jars of Ningxiang wine and invited Xiao Baishan and others to drink...
"It doesn't matter, they can just say whatever they want." Yi Chenjing didn't care, and still went her own way, "You are my wife, how many times do I have to tell you before you remember? It is natural for husband and wife to sleep together. They laugh because they are envious of each other.
In contrast, someone who quietly breaks into someone else's camp and 'happens' to have a banquet with a few generals has an ulterior motive?"
The finger was pointed at Ning Xizui again. This seemed to have become a habit that Yi Chenjing enjoyed endlessly. As long as Ning Xizui was there, there was no one else worth hating in his eyes.
Who asked Ning Xizui to invite Bai Qige for a drink? Who asked Ning Xizui to sit next to her and talk and laugh? Who asked her to ignore him when Ning Xizui was drunk?
You deserve it if you ask for it.
"Where are we going? Why not continue marching directly to the north?" Bai Qige changed the subject and looked at the vast plain ahead.
"Boss Ning, whom you regard as a confidant, said that there is an isolated mountain less than twenty miles ahead. There are springs and long rivers under the isolated mountain. The entire stream of ravines and ravines in Hongqueyuan comes from there." Yi Chenjing raised her finger and pointed in the distance.
A vague black spot, "Did you see it? We will be there if we walk for a while. I want the three armies to have a good rest for a day, wash off the dust and bad luck on their bodies, and start the journey clean."
Bai Qige shook her head helplessly: "With 200,000 people, I don't know how many teams we need to divide into to wash them all. I'm afraid it will be dark after the quiet."
"How can a man who joins the army be as procrastinating as you think? Don't worry, I will have someone separate a piece of water for you. You can rest for as long as you want." After thinking for a moment, Yi Chenjing turned his head and glanced at Bai Qige strangely.
, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling, "Don't worry, I won't peek."
