Ning Gu

Zhaoxing's mountain wind lifted Xie Wuling's sleeves, he remembered the saying "go back when you're tired", and with his heart in mind, he approached Fufeng City step by step for the camp.

At that time, the heat of summer came, even in a sparsely populated green hill like Xianshan, it was unavoidable.

Xie Wuling stood in front of the door of the Sutra-Depository Pavilion, tied up his blue silk with his blue ribbon.It was only after wisps of breeze swept over the back of his neck that he slowly took a breath.

It's like going to hell, and being blown back to life by the mountain wind.

He shook his head left and right before going to the meditation room that he had agreed with his master. The moment he opened the door, what he saw was the graceful prince and grandson in fine clothes and jade crowns.

If it hadn't been mentioned in those letters that the duke of this country is the title of prince, and that he needs to take the title of a single-character fief; and that "Yong" is located in the capital, which is the most honorable, Xie Wuling would have thought that his title of "Duke of Yong" was that of the sage Seeing his son's grace and luxury, he chose this word at will.

Thinking of this, Xie Wuling smiled self-deprecatingly.He looked up at the man who seemed to be immersed in his own world, and didn't notice that he pushed the door, so he made up his mind.

Although he wanted to go to Fufeng, and he could clearly see the master's intention of letting this person stay in the meditation room, he was still a little timid after all, after all, the person he was facing was the prince and grandson, and his purpose was not like he did in the market place. It's all small talk.

He wanted to really try to figure out what Wang Sun meant, and then get what he wanted, he was panicked, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

Xie Wuling's hand that pushed the door paused, just about to step back and leave, when he saw his senior brother Huixuan standing outside the courtyard door with his hands behind his back, beckoning him to go in.

He clenched his fists and made a comparison to Huixuan from the air. When Huixuan smiled, he also melted away.

Only then did he put his mind to one side, turned around and took a step with his hands behind his back, approaching the case in two or three steps, and found that this Yong Guogong was sitting on the couch, looking down at the endgame.But seeing that he frowned, it must have been studied for a while, so he has not taken the sunspot in the chess basket for a long time.

Xie Wuling stood by his side for a long time, seeing that he hadn't made any other moves, then he pinched his hand and landed on the endgame, and solved it all at once.

Then he met Yong Guogong's surprised eyes, but it was only for a moment.

What Xie Wuling didn't know was that before he came, the abbot had already said a word to Yong Guogong: "The person who can solve this situation is the person the Duke is looking for; if the Duke solves the situation before that person comes, it will be the person who will be found." , up to you to use."

So he came, and this son fell on the place where Yong Guogong hesitated for half an hour.

Duke Yong was shocked, surprised that Zhao Xing gave him a young child, surprised that this young child was a little bit more courageous than him.

He had heard his grandfather talk about the first half of the lives of Abbot Zhaoxing and Huixuan, and he thought that as long as he hired one of them, he would be in control.He had this plan, but he couldn't find a reason to ask his father to leave Beijing.

Finally, his mother and concubine obtained the grace to allow him to leave Beijing to relax, but he didn't want to be preempted by the powerless Zhao Zuo.

But fortunately, the news from the spies in the capital said that Zhao Zuo returned to the capital alone.

But now that Duke Yong is going back to the capital, he will definitely not be single.Zhao Zuo can't bring him into the capital now, no wonder his elder brother wants to keep it for himself.

In a game of chess, there are two ends of moves, each with its own ulterior motives.

"Thank you..." Yong Guogong Zhao Xiu met this person's eyes, recalled his words that day, and changed his words again, "Little Master Pingzhi, why do you keep looking at me, but my appearance is not right?"

Zhao Xiu didn't think too much about the person in front of him. After all, he had a smooth life and didn't want anything, even the crown prince would be in his pocket in the future.

Others, I'm afraid they have no guts to snatch it.

But this character, Zhao Xiu had to say, was extremely attractive.At least he looked more interesting than the young man in his house who was in a mess.

Since it was this Xie Ping who approached blindly, it should be regarded as a favor, and it can't be blamed on him, Zhao Xiu.

"It seems that you are missing something." Xie Wuling raised his eyebrows again, his peach eyes were full of smiles, which made Zhao Xiu feel that the mountain flowers of Zhaoxing were blooming, very intoxicating.

"Oh?" This kind of scene always makes me feel a little familiar, those Chuguan geisha like to strike up a conversation like this.Zhao Xiu's heart was clear, so he could play with him in his free time, "Then what's wrong?"

"It's bad... I won a game of chess." Xie Wuling saw that all the ladies in Yangzhou treated others like this, so naturally he could only follow the example and copy it.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiu lowered his head and looked at the board, the chess board that Xie Wuling solved just now, the move is not too difficult, and for those who are behind, it should be said that the situation is very good.He raised his hand and dropped his hand, and said casually: "Little Master, please."

Xie Wuling sat on the other side of the couch, lowered his eyebrows, and remained calm.

In the past three days, he desperately read the manuscript, except for the novice who came to deliver some meals every day, he read it every day when he woke up, until he fell asleep.

After reading most of the notes, his understanding of the overall situation of the court is still in a state of disarray, but he has a glimpse of the general situation of the imperial family and the many balances and controls of the emperors of the last two dynasties through the letters of these counselors.

The master's letter also said: "The emperor married Jiang as his queen, and he used his strength to fight."

Presumably, he used the influence of the mother's family in front of him to restrict the Fufeng clan at that time, preventing one family from being dominant.

However, she did not admit that the Jiang family was the first to give birth to the prince. The eldest son is naturally the most beneficial position for her Jiang family, but it is not considered as the person sitting in the ninth or fifth position. good thing.

Although the mother clan of Concubine Zhen Wang and other concubines are slowly infiltrating Fufeng, it is still too difficult to control the deep-rooted Jiang clan over the past ten years.

Xie Wuling flipped through the notebooks, including his master's, his master's, and his senior brother's... The moment he closed the last notebook, he felt that the longing for Fufeng City was secretly filled with frightening emotions. Bloody and rainy, the temple in this prosperous age is full of crises.

Another piece was added to the chessboard, Duke Yong's brows became more happy, and the white piece rose up.

"Helping relatives is like feeding wolves." The last sentence in the brother's handbook was this sentence, and Xie Wuling read this page of yellow pages for a long time at that time.

Looking at the present, the Holy Majesty raised a pack of wolves in this hunting ground and wanted to bring down the old wolf king. Unfortunately, the old wolf king's power has been intimidating for many years, and how can it be disintegrated overnight?

Xie Wuling could guess this point, how could the Holy One not know.

Therefore, this person who sits in the ninth and fifth position and is in charge of life and death knows better than anyone that what he needs is a helper, a helper who can break this stalemate, preferably a dog that will not become a disaster.

When the wolf is taking a nap and the wolves relax their vigilance, you can bite off the neck of the wolf with one blow, and then pretend to be a wolf and hold the pack.

And that support, after these people had figured out the situation in the temple, was preempted by the Wang family.

The chess piece that Concubine Zhen has kept for 20 years can finally be put on the table at this time.

It was Zhao Zuo who won the honor of leaving the palace and building a mansion without reaching the crown.

For the people in the ninth and fifth positions, Zhao Zuo has no mother family behind him, even if the concubine Zhen treats him well, he is not his own.

As far as the Wang family is concerned, there is no mother who knows his temper. Zhao Zuo grew up beside Concubine Zhen since he was a child. Concubine Zhen can be regarded as his half mother. Forget the kindness that Concubine Zhen has given him in the past 20 years.

What's more, this kind of favor was obtained by asking for the kindness of Concubine Zhen's birthday.

The gift of birth and birthday is not precious to a deep palace woman like Concubine Zhen, but to a prince like Zhao Zuo, it should be precious enough to be able to go out of the palace to build a mansion, and not be trapped in this heavy world up.

But the most unexpected thing is that the people around thought that Zhao Zuo would become a forest bird in the early stage, so he was shot by an arrow, and his life was sacrificed in this political whirlpool, but Zhao Zuo was like a forest sting, crouching and disappearing.

Others can't grasp him at all, and they can't tell him anything good. He seems to be a mediocre master.

It was exactly like this that the old wolf king couldn't sit still anymore, he united his wolf clan forces, put pressure on that high position, and got the position of the eldest son of the country, and even coveted the word "Yong".

"Little master, it seems that it will be difficult to win the cultivation today." Yong Guogong straightened his sleeves and casually laid down a son.

"Really?" Xie Wuling frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied.

In fact, Xie Wuling is familiar with this chess game, he and Qi Zhisheng saw this endgame on the cold mountain in Gusu, it was under the thatched hut of a hermit, the hermit sat alone under the eaves, sighing again and again, When he met Qi Zhisheng, he became curious.With this curiosity, he saw the endgame.The hermit was embarrassed for most of his life.

He kept it in his heart and gave it to his senior brother and Master Miaofa. In the end, Master Miaofa solved the situation all by himself.He also said with a smile: "That man can't solve it, it's because he is too greedy, it's obvious that if he makes this move, he can play chess, and he is talking about a hermit, obviously he just can't let it go."

"But if this piece falls, the sunspot who solves the game is doomed to lose."

"No, just play chess. If I lose, I will give you the blue booklet that you have been asking for." Huixuan sat next to Miaofa, squeezed the sunspot from the palm of Miaofa, and followed Xie Wuling to play chess.

"Even so, if Xiao Ling'er wins, the Daoist will treat you to a drink."

When Xie Wuling heard it, his heart turned cold, and he thought that he couldn't win today?After thinking about it, he put his sleeves high, and with the momentum of a big fight, he followed suit.

At that time, he was a latecomer. Looking at this good round, he should have won the game, but he was defeated by Huixuan's subsequent efforts to turn the tide.

He couldn't figure it out either.

But Huixuan pointed to the child under Miaofa and said, "Success is here, and failure is also here."

The words were very profound, and when he saw the chess game again in this meditation room, he was still puzzled.But when he counted and made moves according to Huixuan's method, he suddenly became clear.

That one shot broke the game, he should have thought that he handed himself over to someone else, but in fact he used his body as a bait.When the sunspots are settled, the whites are eaten, and the sweetness has arrived. When people's hearts are satisfied, they naturally ignore the overall situation.This is also the so-called "authority fan".

But for the person who makes a move and lands a sunspot, he becomes a setter, a spectator on the sidelines.He slowly introduced Baizi into his hunting circle, pressed on step by step, and then choked his throat with one stroke, making people breathless.

"I lost."

Xie Wuling deliberately dropped the sunspots between his fingers on the edge of the chessboard, leaving the back path that should have been blocked to Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu saw that his brows were gloomy and dejected, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, you didn't solve that problem well just now."

Xie Wuling nodded and thanked him for his words of consolation, but the cloud of sorrow was still frowning: "It's Pingzhi, after all, he is not as good as senior brother. If senior brother plays this game of chess..." His voice was deliberately silenced, "It will definitely not end like this. "

When Zhao Xiu heard that he said the word "senior brother", he was startled. He looked for Wang Shuo, but he didn't want Wang Shuo to become Zhao Zuo's helper.

But now he doesn't think so anymore, he added: "What do you want? This king can reward you, so you don't have to be so unhappy."

"I once heard someone say that the flowers in Fufeng are beautiful."

"This king can't bring the flowers of Fufeng." After Zhao Xiufang said this, he saw the light in Xie Wuling's eyes dim.He hurriedly said: "However... it should be possible to bring a friend to Fufeng to enjoy the flowers."

Xie Wuling's eyes lit up again, Zhao Xiu naturally accepted that appearance with a smile.In the next few days, Xie Wuling played several chess games with Duke Yong in this Zhaoxing Meditation Room.

When they returned to the capital, Zhao Xiu replaced the carriage he had taken when he came here and replaced it with a horse; he also called his entourage to find a horse for Xie Wuling, and hired someone to lead the horse for him, and then he led him with him. Go to Fufeng.
