Because of his contribution in the treason case, Xuan Fei's grounding order was lifted.
Mingwei went to Xuandu to watch him.
The two were playing chess in the pavilion of the observatory.
"Speaking of which, we haven't talked about the stars in detail yet," Xuanfei said.
Ming smiled and said, "Master Imperial Master, are you going to tell me their origins?"
"I'm asking about you." Xuanfei glanced at her, "What is your relationship with those people?"
"What's the relationship?" Mingwei paused.
"I'm not blind." Xuanfei said bluntly, "That man's mystical skills clearly come from the same source as yours. Moreover, he said his name is Mingxiao? This surname is not common."
Mingwei just smiled.
"Isn't the life master lineage a single inheritance? Why do you feel that it is everywhere?"
"I don't know why." Mingwei said, "This mystery may not be solved until we clean up the Star Palace."
Xuan Fei shook his head and said, "However, it seems like they and you are doing the same thing."
"How to say it?"
"You discovered the hidden Emperor Star and planned to help him ascend to power to avoid possible troubles. And they are looking for me."
Mingwei silently placed down the chess piece and thought about this sentence.
"What's interesting is that you all gave up on the ruling royal family. Don't you think it would be easier to pick one of the existing princes?"
Before she could speak, Xuan Fei blocked her with words: "Don't tell me that the three princes are not good. Although the eldest prince and the second prince are not good, it's not that Prince An cannot be taught. Can you tell me why?"
Ming smiled and said lightly: "Maybe it's because we all know that it was the wrong choice. My choice is okay, after all, he is the real direct descendant, but they chose you... A dynasty that has been overthrown
, there seems to be no precedent for regaining the country, right?"
"The Han Dynasty...well, well, the situation is completely different. The new dynasty has been in power for decades, and the previous dynasty still wanted to restore it. It was basically a daydream." Xuanfei nodded, agreeing with her statement.
"So, I can't help but doubt their intentions." Mingwei said.
Xuanfei quietly blocked Dalong in her corner and said, "Of course it's more secure to have it in your own hands."
Mingwei was absent-minded and continued to think: "They can't open an exit from you, so they should change their target. Who will they look for?"
Xuanfei said: "I think we might go south."
"South?"
"Yes. The royal family of Qi State is small, and the powerful families have also declined in the war. There are too few choices. When they choose people, they must have some foundation, right?"
Mingwei nodded and continued to make moves.
Seeing that she wasn't paying attention, Xuanfei made a feint in the middle of the chessboard and continued to block the big dragon.
"It's different in the south. There are many aristocratic families there."
However, Mingwei remembered the white paper she found in Mingsan's secret room. When Mingxiao led a raid on Xuandu Temple, his men once dropped a parchment, thus deciphering the secret of the circle on the white paper.
"No, their main target should be in Qi." Only one of the points circled on the map is in Southern Chu, and the others are in Northern Qi.
"Why?" Xuanfei was surprised.
Because the dragon spirit is in Northern Qi.
Ming slightly frowned, feeling a little strange.
In that map, the Northern Qi side is obviously much more detailed than the Southern Chu side. Did the person who made the map only cover half of the mountains and rivers?
Or is it that the other party prefers Northern Qi?
She didn't consider Nan Chu's side at the beginning because of the legacy of memories from her previous life, so what was the other party's reason for?
Could it be that the other party has the same vision as Master?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xuan Fei coughed lightly and clicked on the chessboard: "You are going to lose."
Mingwei looked down and saw that her big dragon had been killed by him unknowingly, leaving a large area of empty space on the chessboard.
"Oh." She responded, Luozi.
Xuan Fei had a smile on his face, it was rare to win against her for a while, and he felt very comfortable.
Just as she was about to raise her butcher knife and collect her remaining soldiers, her smile suddenly froze.
Her big dragon was killed by him, but the big dragon on the other side of him was also trapped. The move just now connected her originally scattered chess pieces together, blocking his way back.
"When did you..." Xuanfei shouted in surprise.
"While you were busy killing people here!" Mingwei nodded.
Xuan Fei wanted to ask, wasn't she absent-minded just now? Seeing her half-smiling expression, he could only swallow the words back dejectedly.
Forget it, don't humiliate yourself.
"No more, let's go here today." Mingwei lost interest and put the chess pieces back into the chess box, "I'll go take my cousin home."
...
Ji Xiaowu sat in the front of the carriage, eating melon seeds and talking to her: "Hey, you are nineteen after the New Year, and you still haven't made an explanation?"
Mingwei in the carriage replied: "What do you mean?"
"Are you pretending to be stupid with me again?" Ji Xiaowu spat out the melon seed peels, "Of course you're talking about Prince Yue's Mansion."
"It doesn't matter what he said." Mingwei said, "Why does my cousin always keep an eye on this matter? Could it be that he can't bear to leave me?"
"Hey!" Ji Xiaowu shouted, "can you look good? It didn't matter before, but now you have a family, and you still talk like this and tease everyone you see!"
Ming smiled and said: "I also had an engagement before!"
"That was me before... forget it, I won't bother you." Ji Xiaowu put his hand in and said, "Give me another hand."
Mingwei poured some broad beans for him.
Ji Xiaowu didn't mind it either. He ate whatever was given to him, biting broad beans.
"The lanterns will be released at Changsheng Temple tomorrow. Do you want to go play?"
"Cousin, are you asking me out?" Mingwei nodded, "The moon is above the willow branches, and the date is after dusk. It's very romantic!"
"You..." Ji Xiaowu rolled his eyes, "I promised Zhu'er that I would take her to put out the lanterns. I just asked you by the way."
"oh!"
"...What's with your sorry tone?"
Mingwei said: "Cousin, you are my ex-fiancé."
"so what?"
"You took the initiative to terminate the engagement."
"yes!"
"My despised ex-fiancée hurts my self-esteem! If my cousin can't forget her after breaking off the engagement, thinking about it day and night, and regretting it, then I will definitely be very happy."
"Bah!" Ji Xiaowu was defeated by her shamelessness.
Mingwei laughed.
After a while, Ji Xiaowu asked her again: "Are you going or not?"
Mingwei said: "Of course."
Ji Xiaowu was satisfied, and after eating broad beans for a while, he suddenly thought of a question: "Where is that guy? He didn't date you?"
Mingwei said: "My cousin is so smart, let's come with him."
Ji Xiaowu's mood just got better, and he fell to the ground again. He said with a face: "We have already made an appointment, why are we here to join in the fun?"
Ming smiled and said: "You want to go out, and I want to go out too. Isn't it just convenient? You said so yourself."
All right...
Ji Xiaowu thought about what he said and found that he could not refute it. But he made up his mind to separate from them when they arrived and never look at them being sticky! (To be continued)
