Chapter 42: Zhenlong Chess Game
"Sir, I have been feeling unwell for the past few days, but the imperial doctor can't see any clues."

Zhao Xu's face turned pale and he looked a little sloppy when he walked.

Guo Yu held his hand to feel the pulse, and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty has been poisoned."

"Poisoned." Zhao Xu said angrily with a clear expression on his face, "I thought about it in private, maybe they were plotted against, but I didn't expect them to act so boldly."

Zhao Xu understood what was going on in an instant, "It seems that those people still can't sit still after all."

The Empress Dowager's body was getting worse and worse every day, and maybe one day she would drive west, and the little emperor would be in charge.

Now Zhao Xu has almost made it clear that he does not agree with their old-fashioned way.

So it's not surprising that they were targeted. It can almost be concluded that those old school ministers sent people to poison him, and even his own grandmother, the Empress Dowager, may not be able to get away with it.

"Your Majesty, let me detoxify you first." Guo Yu helped Zhao Xu to sit down, and immediately detoxified him.

Zhao Xuzhong is a kind of chronic poison, the toxicity is not strong, it takes a period of time to accumulate before it breaks out.

So it's not difficult to clear them up. With Guo Yu's skill, they were all completed in just a quarter of an hour.

"Your Majesty, although the toxins in your body have been cleaned up, they have already caused considerable damage to your body, and may even affect your lifespan."

Guo Yu gently stroked the beard accumulated at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became dark, "But you don't have to worry, my master once created a wonderful skill called Nine Suns Magical Skill.

It has miraculous effects on strengthening the body, curing poison and wounds. Your Majesty can take a little time every day to meditate and practice.

I believe that after a few years of hard work, the body can be restored to its original state, even better than before, and it will also help to prolong the offspring. "

With Zhao Xu's physical condition at this time, it is very easy to be infected with diseases, and the children born are also very easy to die young.

If no adjustments are made, it is inevitable that his lineage will become extinct in the future.

"Mr. Zhao Xu will keep in mind Mr. Zhao's advice." It's about his own life, so he dare not be careless in the slightest.

Especially in terms of heirs, he has not yet had a child, which has become his heart disease.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is critically ill now, and I'm afraid she won't last long."

Seeing that Zhao Xu's complexion finally returned to normal, Guo Yu said earnestly, "But it is precisely the most dangerous time, when all kinds of open and dark arrows are bound to come one after another. You need to be careful at all times."

"I also have this concern. A lot of strange things have happened in the palace recently, and it seems that they are all directed at me."

Zhao Xu looked helpless, "It seems that I have to be more careful in the future, otherwise I may be plotted by them again one day."

……

Time passed quickly, and it was mid-February before we knew it.

Recently, a large number of martial arts figures have appeared in Henan, gathering in one place in a mighty manner.

"It's time to go."

Guo Yu knew that the Zhenlong chess game was about to begin, so he packed his bags and left Kaifeng with four of his confidants.

The Deaf and Mute Valley is a valley in Henan where Su Xinghe lived in seclusion after his defeat to Ding Chunqiu.

Because Guo Yu was afraid of missing the time, he took Lin Chong and others to hurry, and finally arrived at the Valley of the Deaf and Mute on the eighth day of February.

At this time, the game of chess has already begun, and a young man is sitting face to face with an old man to start a game.

"So it's the third brother." Guo Yu couldn't help chuckling.

"Sir, did you say that this young master is your third younger brother?" Lin Chong who was next to him heard it, and looked at Duan Yu curiously.

"Well, he is my sworn brother." Guo Yu nodded and explained softly to the four of them, "He is called Duan Yu. He is the only son of Duan Zhengchun, the Southern King of Dali Town. He has been traveling around the Central Plains recently."

"It turns out that they are the children of the Duan family." The four of them exclaimed in amazement.

On the way here, Guo Yu had already briefed them on the various forces in the Jianghu, which was a preliminary understanding.

Now that they saw with their own eyes the crown prince of a country, the only heir to the Dali Kingdom, hanging out with a group of Jianghu people, the four of them still couldn't believe it.

You must know that people in the officialdom never look down on Jianghu people who lick blood at the edge of their swords, let alone work with them.

So Lin Chong and the others couldn't help but look strange when they saw such a wonderful royal family like the Duan family in Dali.

"Guo benefactor, you are here too." Suddenly a young monk appeared beside Guo Yu and greeted him in surprise.

"It turned out to be Master Xu Zhu." Guo Yu turned his head and looked, several Shaolin monks had come to the valley, one of them was Xu Zhu.

"It seems that the master has already read the scripture I gave you." Guo Yu cast his eyes, and a very pure zhenqi faintly appeared in Xu Zhu's body, obviously he has already learned the Yi Jin Jing and has a good internal force.

"The donor's scriptures are indeed extraordinary. The young monk feels full of energy after reading them on weekdays. He has gained a lot." Xu Zhu didn't know that what he was practicing was an undisclosed secret of Shaolin, so he just thought it was an ordinary Buddhist scripture.

"It's good to be able to help the master a little, and I will feel at ease."

Guo Yu knew in his heart that Xu Zhu was actually not interested in Taoist martial arts.

When Guo Yu was apprenticed to his master in the previous life, Xu Zhu had such a great adventure, after a hundred years of cultivation, it still can't be regarded as a great achievement, it can only be regarded as normal.

At that time he thought, if he switched to Buddhist martial arts, Xu Zhu might achieve even greater achievements.

Therefore, by chance, Guo Yu passed on the Yi Jin Jing and Shen Zu Jing to Xu Zhu, hoping that he could walk a different path.

Of course, the most important thing is that now that Guo Yu has come to this world, he cannot just watch Wu Yazi come to a dismal end.

After all, he is also his ancestor, so it is impossible for him to remain indifferent.

"Second brother, you are here too." At this moment, Duan Yu had already finished playing chess, and he was not at all depressed after losing.

Seeing Guo Yu and others standing there, excitedly rushed to Guo Yu's side.

"Third brother, I also heard that there is a rare chess game here, so come and have a look."

Guo Yu was also very happy, "I didn't expect such a fate to meet you here."

"Yes, second brother..."

While Guo Yu, Duan Yu and others were reminiscing about the old days, heroes from all walks of life in the world have gradually rushed to the valley.

Murong Fu, Ding Chunqiu, Jiumozhi and others are among them.

"It's very lively here!" Guo Yu couldn't help but be speechless.

Almost all the heroes of Tianlong's younger generation came here to participate in the grand event, so it is not exempt from such elegant things as playing chess.

"Second brother, don't you plan to play a game?" Duan Yu urged Guo Yu to enter the arena.

"Don't worry, after Murong Fu is done playing, I'll try it." Guo Yu saw that Murong Fu had already started a confrontation with Jiumozhi on the field at this time, and after counting, his expression became extremely hesitant.

Later, under the charm of Ding Chunqiu, he fell into a magic barrier. If Duan Yu hadn't helped him, he would have almost committed suicide on the spot.

"My lord, Guo Yu, I have met you sir."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Guo Yu brushed his robe slightly, stepped forward and sat down on the stone bench calmly, picked up the chess piece and confidently dropped it.

He knew the solution of Zhenlong's chess game in advance, so naturally he directly killed some of his pieces.

"Wow!" Immediately, everyone in the field looked at him with expressions like they were looking at a fool, and Su Xinghe cursed even more.

Guo Yu ignored it and continued to settle.

Gradually, everyone realized that things were different, and they all stopped talking and focused on Guo Yu's chess game.

"Haha, haha..." As time passed, Su Xinghe got up and laughed wildly, "It's broken, it's broken, the Zhenlong chess game arranged by Master has finally been broken."

Hearing this, everyone in the arena was discussing, some people shook their heads at the chess game without saying a word, some people looked at Zhao Xu with a look of surprise, and so on.

"Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so consummate in chess besides martial arts."

However, Guo Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Brother, I just read similar chess records before, and they are all the work of predecessors."

Guo Yu already knew the solution, if he still can't solve the Zhenlong chess game, his chess skills all these years are not for nothing.

"My lord, please come in with me."

Su Xinghe took Guo Yu to the three wooden houses without any doors.

Of course Guo Yu understood what Su Xinghe meant. He smashed the wooden board with a swipe of his hand and naturally found the entrance very easily.

"Without my Ding Chunqiu's consent, none of you can get in." Ding Chunqiu in the crowd finally realized that something was wrong, and blocked Guo Yu and Su Xinghe with his palm.
