The corridor of Tianjiansi is a rare building in the world. It is long, dark and completely closed, with only candlelight on both sides for illumination.
It is said that the meaning is that although it is dark during the long night, it will be bright when there is a lamp.
Xia Xianyin walked through the long and dark corridor and came to the door of Da Siming's mansion.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to knock on the door, but suddenly hesitated, and her hand stopped only half an inch away from the door.
"Come in." But at this moment, Yin Wujiang's hoarse voice suddenly came from the door.
Xia Xianyin was stunned for a moment, not daring to think too much. She lowered her head and opened the door.
Da Siming's palace was very bright, very different from the dark corridor. The moment he opened the door, Xia Xianyin was a little uncomfortable with such bright light. She blinked subconsciously. It took a while before she got used to it.
.
The bright sunshine shone from the top of the hall, shining on the old man wearing a white gown. At that moment, the old man's figure looked like an immortal.
There is a huge crystal stone inlaid on the roof of Tianjiansi's main hall. It was something that the late emperor obtained from Yingzhou in the East China Sea in the early years. This stone is extremely precious. Someone once proposed to carve it into the shape of a dragon and place it in the Divine Palace.
In front of the palace, it showed the majesty of the emperor. However, the late emperor said that the sky is a sacred object and should be used only for observing the sky and observing the stars, so he rewarded it to the Tianjian Division. It is said that sitting in the palace at night, through the crystal stone, even if there are dark clouds,
In warm weather, stars can also be seen through the spar.
At this moment, Yin Wujiang was sitting under the spar, with a chessboard in front of him.
White stones and black stones alternated between each other, and the old man played chess alone, with a serious look on his face, and did not turn his head to look at Xia Xianyin who walked through the door.
Xia Xianyin has been with the old man for many years and has probably figured out his habits.
Yin Wujiang likes to play chess, but he doesn't like playing chess with others. He only likes to play chess with himself. This is a very strange habit, but Xia Xianyin does not dare to ask more questions or disturb him.
She stood there like this for half an hour. The old man finally frowned and hung the last piece in the air. He thought about it for a while and then took it back. Then he looked back at Xia Xianyin and asked
: "I heard that you are planning to cancel the marriage?"
Xia Xianyin lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "Yeah."
"I heard about the matter of the Eternal Life Palace. In the eldest princess's memorial, it seems that Prince Li also had a lot of credit. Does the fact that you regret this marriage have anything to do with him?" Yin Wujiang asked again, with a calm tone,
It was difficult for Xia Xianyin to guess the likes and dislikes in the other person's heart from his words.
She didn't dare to say anything more and just lowered her head when faced with Yin Wujiang's questioning.
Yin Wujiang didn't get a response, but he wasn't angry. He smiled and said: "I have missed so many hidden stakes in the nine divisions of the three prefectures of Wuyang City. This Crown Prince Li's acting skills are pretty good.
"
Xia Xianyin's heart froze, and she suddenly realized that this might cause trouble for Li Danqing. She hurriedly said: "Master! I just don't want to marry Ying Li. This matter has nothing to do with Li Danqing."
"Do you know why I like to play chess by myself?" Yin Wujiang asked Xia Xianyin without commenting.
Xia Xianyin was stunned and shook his head honestly.
Yin Wujiang said: "You have worked in the Tianjian Division for so many years, what do you think the responsibilities of the Tianjian Division are?"
Yin Wujiang smiled: "Eradicate evil and evil? Then most of the people in Wuyang City should die."
"The Tianjian Division is the mirror in His Majesty's hand, it only helps His Majesty distinguish the true from the false.
.”
"True or false?" Xia Xianyin was a little confused.
"The Wuyang Dynasty has three prefectures and nine divisions, twenty-eight holy mountains, and nearly a hundred counties. If we want to see their good and evil one by one, who can do it? For His Majesty, he wants to make sure that it is just these
It's just whether people are sincerely loyal or not. It doesn't matter what they do or what they want. As long as it's useful, it can be used. If it's no longer useful, then of course those who deserve to be killed will have to be killed."
Xia Xianyin's heart moved: "Just like Li Mulin, right..."
Yin Wujiang raised his head and glanced at Xia Xianyin: "My child, Li Mulin is different. He was General Tiance and your Majesty's brother. He died in the hands of the Liao people. These things are facts and cannot be questioned. You
Do you understand?"
Yin Wujiang emphasized the word "undoubtedly" very strongly. Xia Xianyin's body trembled, and he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly lowered his head.
Fortunately, Yin Wujiang was just tapping and had no intention of going into details. He continued: "But the true and false in the human heart are as difficult to distinguish as good and evil. The old man has been able to sit in the position of the chief commander of the Tianjian Division for so many years, and every day
It's like walking on thin ice. If you want to understand other people's thoughts, the best way is to become them, see and think from their perspective."
As he said this, the old man picked up the chess pieces again and placed them again.
"How their chess moves are made, and why they move the way they do. Only by becoming one of them can you understand and see clearly."
When Xia Xianyin heard this, he seemed to have some understanding, but for a moment he couldn't grasp the point. He could only lower his head and say: "Disciple has been taught."
But the old man saw through Xia Xianyin's doubts. He shook his head and sighed: "You are really not a good apprentice."
"Disciple is stupid." Xia Xianyin responded quickly. Facing this old man, she couldn't explain why. She instinctively felt afraid. Every time she was alone, she was trembling with fear...
The old man looked at the frightened Xia Xianyin, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he looked away.
"The Ying family has won His Majesty's favor over the years. You and Ying Li are getting married. No matter how you look at it, you are the one who has gained the upper hand of the Ying family."
"You have to think about why the Ying family decided on such a marriage and what they wanted."
"Only after you understand this can you know what the Ying family will lose after destroying this marriage and how they will take revenge."
"If you don't understand these things, then you are not breaking off the engagement, but looking for death."
Although Xia Xianyin was a little timid when facing the old man, she was not stupid. After the old man's words reached this point, Xia Xianyin naturally understood that the other party was trying to nudge her.
At that time, she hurriedly raised her hands to the other party and said, "Disciple, I understand! Thank you, Master, for your teaching."
But the old man waved his hand: "This marriage was decided by me. Now that you have ruined the marriage and the Ying family is in trouble, I can't protect you. You have to face it yourself."
"Now that I have made my decision, I have naturally made preparations. Master, please rest assured." Xia Xianyin nodded and responded.
"That would be great," the old man said, and then he said nothing more.
There was silence in the door. Xia Xianyin couldn't stand the dull atmosphere and was thinking of finding a chance to leave.
But at this moment, the old man who was playing chess suddenly paused, turned his head and looked at Xia Xianyin and said.
"correct."
"There's one more thing."
"That Prince Li seems to have encountered some trouble recently..."
"The kind that will kill him if he's not careful.
The trouble of my life.”
…
"Is this Holly City?"
"It looks a little more prosperous than our Gale City..."
Eight days later, all the men and women of Dafengyuan, old and young, came to Holly City in full force.
It was midday, the crowds in Holly City were surging, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets. It was indeed much better than the deserted Windy City.
But even though this was true, Liu Yanzhen lamented that he still received a blank stare from Li Danqing.
"In the face of a powerful enemy, you must not increase the prestige of others or destroy your own ambition." Li Danqing, who was walking in front of the team, said with a straight face.
Seeing Li Danqing's solemn expression, Liu Yanzhen stuck out his tongue, rarely talking back to Li Danqing. Tomorrow they would have to fight against the royal family of Fu Jian, and as Zhang Qian was now the acting dean of Yangshan, such an important competition
Naturally, it had to be held in Dongqingyuan, so everyone arrived here one day in advance.
Li Danqing did not hide his secrets. He found an opportunity these days to tell everyone about Sun Yu. Along with the troubles they had to face behind this, they first had to fight against the Fu Jian royal family.
, Zhang Qiancai had no reason to stir up trouble.
And then going to the Gate of Star Glory, it is very likely to be sniped by Zhang Prisoner and the mysterious force that killed Sun Yu, and they have to find a way to get the secret of Haoyang Wall before Zhang Prisoner. The whole process is unpredictable.
A little flaw.
If anything goes wrong in any link, at least Dafengyuan will be dismissed, or at worst everyone present will lose their lives.
Everyone also understood the importance of the matter, so they practiced harder and harder these days. Now walking on the streets of Holly City, everyone was high-spirited and full of momentum.
Under the momentum of everyone's unity, Liu Yanzhen also secretly felt that he was wrong and walked into the crowd dejectedly. But at this moment, Li Danqing, who was walking at the head of the team, suddenly stopped. Everyone was stunned, secretly thinking that Li Danqing
What important discoveries did Danqing make?
"What's wrong? Dean?" Xi Wenjun asked with a frown.
But they saw Li Danqing pointing his finger not far away. Everyone turned around and saw many girls in green shirts and thin clothes standing in front of a richly decorated restaurant. They were all dressed up and stretching out their snow-white arms to attract customers.
"The Zuixian Pavilion in Dongqingyuan is a masterpiece. It's a pity that I had important things to do and didn't have time to exchange my practice experience with the girls here. Now that I think about it, it's a pity. Anyway, the competition only starts tomorrow, so it's not as good as Liuxiang
Give me a hundred taels of silver and let me, the dean, go in and have a good life..." Li Danqing said seriously.
As Li Danqing said this, he suddenly noticed several cold eyes falling on his back. Li Shizi was instantly alert and changed his words: "It's so cool to get some information! Those Fu Jian barbarians probably couldn't resist the temptation of these girls.
Yes, I decided to use my body to feed the tiger to find out the details of those guys for you!"
"Ouch."
As soon as he said these words, Prince Li was hit hard on the head by Lord Xiwen.
Li Danqing suddenly ceased his activities...
With his head hanging down, he was thrown to the back of the team by everyone, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.
…
"Prisoner Zhang! Don't go too far!"
"You are still just an acting mountain master! Are you so eager to flatter your master?"
The group had just arrived at the entrance of Dongqing Courtyard when they heard Yang Tong's angry curses.
