Outside the gate of Luoyang City, there was a buzz of people. A group of dignitaries in silk silk were waiting eagerly. Opposite them, stood a group of ghostly people.
It is said that they are full of ghosts, but in fact there are no ghosts anywhere. Judging from their appearance, they are wearing black clothes with gold rims. They are all handsome young men, but when they stand there, there is a feminine energy that makes people feel...
I felt uncomfortable all over. Compared with them, the rough guys next to them were much more vigorous. These people were Jin Yiwei. They all came from the military and were very masculine.
The boy's hoarse shouts came from far and near, and everyone's hearts were raised. The living King of Hell, who had made Luoyang City uneasy for nearly a month, finally came back. I heard that he was a small-minded man. I don't know what he will do when he comes back this time.
Why take revenge?
"...The Marquis's car is two miles away and will be there soon!"
"Erli?" A fat middle-aged man screamed: "Isn't this right in front of you? What are you waiting for? Come on and start playing!"
The people next to me also shouted: "Hurry up and start playing. Do you still remember what the teacher said yesterday? If you can't remember, think quickly. Those who are shouting are counting on you. If the Marquis can't hear it, go back."
I’ll peel off your skin!”
When the people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang saw the faces of these people, they all showed disdain. Where did the self-righteous faces of these cheap scoundrels go when the Marquis came a month ago? They have to use all means to deal with them.
, if you are tough guys, you are still standing firm, why are you all giving in?
When it comes to this matter, it is not that he is not tough. The only tough boss in Luoyang City is the legendary Miss Lu. The people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang didn't want to go and disturb her.
But the problem is, I can’t find this person!
Everyone knows that there is such a person. Her shadow seems to be everywhere in Luoyang City. But this person cannot be found!
Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's fans could not find any trace no matter what method they used. This was almost impossible. At first, Dugujiu thought that these people were deliberately protecting Miss Lu, but after half a month,
After investigation, we came to the conclusion that they really didn't know.
Dugujiu also tried to send people to follow him, but unfortunately every time he followed, the connection would be inexplicably disconnected. He even went out on his own, but unfortunately he failed in the end. When he arrived near Beimang Mountain outside the city, he entered the forest with his front feet, and became dizzy on his back feet. No matter how he ran,
, in the end they could only run back to the edge of the forest, which was very evil.
Helpless, Dugujiu had no choice but to give up. Miss Lu didn't do anything, and it didn't interfere with Li Mu's plan. It was good that everyone was in peace. Dugujiu thought that even if there were problems, it wouldn't be too late to wait until Li Mu came to solve them.
He thought that Li Mu would come quickly after the coronation ceremony, but he didn't expect that it would take so long. Half a month had passed since the coronation ceremony, and Li Mu was late. During this period, there was a feeling of undercurrent in Luoyang City. On the surface,
There seems to be nothing unusual, but Dugu Jiu has learned that some people have secretly mobilized people to come to Luoyang. What their purpose is is not yet known. This makes Dugu Jiu very irritable. He has been working as a secret guard in Jinyi for a long time.
He looks at everything with a bit of malice.
"I saw it! The Marquis's car!" someone shouted, and Dugujiu also looked over, only to see an extra car roof on the horizon, and then, a flag on the roof of the car.
What? A flag?
Dugujiu thought he was dazzled, but when he saw the reactions of the people around him, he knew that he was not dazzled. A flag did appear with a huge word written on it.
"handsome!"
Everyone read it subconsciously, and only when they got closer could they see it clearly. There was a layer of paper stuck on top of the flagpole, and an arrow was drawn on the paper. The arrow pointed downward, pointing to Li Mu holding the flagpole below.
What does this mean?
Everyone looked at each other. In this era, the concept of "handsome" has not yet been formed. When people see "handsome", they only have one concept in their minds, that is, "handsome" in the military. But the handsome flag in the army is not enough.
Ah. A handsome flag is either a totem, such as dragon, tiger, leopard, lion, bear, etc., or it is a surname. For example, if Li Jing's handsome flag is thrown out, the armies on the opposite side will tremble. How can there be such a thing, a handsome character with an arrow, for fear of others?
It's like I don't know where I am.
"Brother!" Dugujiu drove his horse over and came to Li Mu. He was confused again. He saw that Li Mu was also wearing a suit of armor. There was also a big word handsome in the middle of the armor. He really didn't know who Li Mu was.
That makes sense.
"Good brother!" Li Mu saw Dugu Jiu, handed the flagpole to the person next to him, opened his arms and gave Dugu Jiu a big hug. After not seeing each other for many days, he also missed Dugu Jiu. Dugu Jiu felt a little unnatural.
He pushed Li Mu away and changed the subject: "Brother, what's going on with your flag?"
"This is an invention I made on the road." Li Mu took out a picture from his pocket, which was actually a picture of chess. But the picture he drew was a thirty-two-piece chess game from later generations. It was similar to the way it was played in the early Tang Dynasty.
Slightly different. The inheritance of chess can be traced back to the Warring States Period, when it was called Xiangxi. It evolved through the dynasties, with twelve and eighteen pieces, gradually increasing. The final version was in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Li Mu now came up with it.
It's a small step ahead.
Dugujiu had played chess before. Although there were some differences, the pieces of the chariot, horse, and cannon were all there, and he could recognize them. He just didn't understand why Li Mu had such a flag, and what was going on with this armor.
, looks really silly!
"This is for training soldiers." Li Mu explained with gestures: "Xiaojiu, think about it, if we set up a school field, draw my chessboard, and then let the two teams occupy one side each, and put on
If I wear this kind of armor and use a weapon to fight and kill——"
Dugujiu frowned and said, "Brother, how can you play with human life?"
"Oh, it's not that serious to play with one's life." Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Of course it's a dull blade, it's time to take the exam. As a general, he controls the overall situation, just like this chessboard, the two sides compete against each other to practice their skills, isn't it?
Is it good? The chess game is like a battlefield, brother!"
Dugujiu was born in a wealthy family, and naturally received military education. Li Mu's words were confused, but he understood. According to what Li Mu said, he thought about it and found that it could indeed have some effects. However, it was not without its drawbacks.
"Brother, I'm afraid it won't work. For example, if I use my cart to eat a horse, but my 'car' can't beat the 'horse' on the opposite side, how can this be calculated?"
"You deserve it!" Li Mu said with a smile: "Isn't this normal? The same is true when two armies are fighting. If you go to beat someone and you haven't beaten them before, do you still want them to commit suicide?"
Dugu was stunned. He didn't know how to proceed with Li Mu's words. Isn't it a game of chess? Isn't it a strategy test? Why does it sound a bit like the courage of an ordinary man?
"Then how to play this chess game?"
"It's easy. Just like you said, if you use a cart to eat my horse, if you haven't beaten me, then your cart will be gone, but my horse will still be there!" Li Mu looked like it was a matter of course, and saw Dugu Jiuyi
With a look of shock on his face, he patted Dugu Jiu on the shoulder and said: "Young man, don't let your imagination be limited by fixed thinking. Things in the world are unpredictable, so you have to adapt accordingly. Some people can turn the tide. Think about it, if
If a big man puts on a horse and stands there, how many carts can eat him?"
Dugu Jiu was stunned and didn't know how to refute it. It was just as Li Mu said, if Li Chongyi was a 'horse', it would be best for no one to eat the horse, because for sure, no one can defeat him.
Thinking about it this way, this game is really interesting.
The two brothers were chatting happily, completely leaving a group of people waiting around. Especially those who were assigned to play gongs and drums. It was neither good nor bad to knock. Knocking was afraid of disturbing Li Mu's conversation and causing trouble.
He was unhappy, refused to knock, and worried that his boss would take advantage of him. He was really in a dilemma.
"Hey, who are these?" Li Mu finally saw it and smiled: "Aren't these the thieves who stole my Shang Fang Sword? Why, are you finally willing to hand over the Shang Fang Sword given by His Majesty? You guys
Thief?" (anti-theft, refreshed after fifteen minutes)
Everyone looked at the Longquan Sword on Li Mu's waist and thought to themselves, no wonder someone who is a Marquis can tell such lies with his eyes open. I'm afraid there won't be anyone else in the world. In this situation now
, I definitely can’t defend myself. If I make it clear, I don’t want to be reasonable. I have no choice but to admit defeat.
"Master Hou, we are now convinced of our guilt!"
"Plead guilty?" Li Mu's face was full of surprise: "What's going on? I just lost a sword. Why are there so many guilty pleas? What do you mean? Are you colluding to put pressure on me? I want to come up with a law that will not blame everyone.
?Tell you, there is no way! I must investigate and find out which daring thief stole the Shang Fang Sword given to me by His Majesty. If you want to join forces to protect me, let me tell you, there is no way!"
Who meant this! Everyone was complaining in their hearts, obviously they didn't want to change the story. No way, everyone looked at each other, and the fat man who shouted the most happily stood up: "Master Hou, my surname is Cui, in Nanshi
We are engaged in silk and satin business. The Marquis has misunderstood. The crime we are talking about is not the crime of stealing Shang Fang's sword. Who dares to make up his mind about Shang Fang's sword given by His Majesty. What the little people are talking about is the failure of the Marquis last time he came to Luoyang.
Mr. Marquis has a lot of sins against you, please forgive me for waiting."
Everyone said in unison: "Please Lord Marquis, please have mercy and forgive me for waiting."
"Please Lord Marquis, please have mercy!"
"What are you doing!" Li Mu was very angry: "You are talking like this, do you want to put me in an unkind and unjust position? If this reaches His Majesty's ears, will you think that I am arrogant and domineering?" No.
When the fat man defended himself, Li Mu interrupted first and signaled to the young Eunuch Chen who was standing next to him: "This one is walking in the palace. Have you heard of Eunuch Gao who is beside your majesty? This is his godson, Xi.
Mr. Chen from the factory."
"Hey, who are these?" Li Mu finally saw it and smiled: "Aren't these the thieves who stole my Shang Fang Sword? Why, are you finally willing to hand over the Shang Fang Sword given by His Majesty? You guys
Thief?"
