Seeing that the lively banquet was completely silent, all the ministers were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help muttering softly: "Prime Minister Xiao?"

Afterwards, they all came to their senses, isn't this Prime Minister Xiao the mysterious prime minister they discussed before the banquet started?

Although the person hadn't arrived yet, everyone guessed the appearance of the prime minister, but they all guessed that the prime minister on the right was probably the same as the prime minister on the left at the banquet, and he had reached the age of knowing his destiny.

Until a white figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone couldn't believe that this young man who seemed to be just a young man could be the famous Xiao Youxiang.

"Chen Xiao Jiuge pays homage to the emperor." The white figure bowed to the high-ranking man with hands folded.

During the banquet, the man was dressed in white and stood alone, with a slight sense of alienation on his body.

But the depths of his eyes are so lonely, as if there is nothing in this world that he can miss.

Standing in this hall in white clothes, he is like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world, without a trace of secular impurities, and he is not disturbed by the world of mortals.

"This is the Prime Minister Xiao You." Looking at the magnificent man in the palace, the officials thought.

"Get up." The emperor looked at Xiao Jiuge and said, although he didn't express anything, but the officials saw the look of joy in his eyes.

When all the officials were obsessed with Xiao Jiuge's demeanor, no one paid attention, but that Prince Mu was already stunned on the seat.

Mu Yan smiled lightly, and thought: So this Prime Minister Xiao is actually him.

During the banquet, there was also a gaze following Xiao Jiuge closely.

As if feeling that gaze, after Xiao Jiuge sat down, he raised his head, and when he saw the owner of that gaze, his movements froze.

How could it be him?

Mu Yan, who was beside Xiao Jiuge, also saw the change in Xiao Jiuge's movements, and he followed Xiao Jiuge's gaze to look at the opposite side.

Opposite Xiao Jiuge, he saw a man in purple.

Although the man was sitting on the seat, there was a noble and evil aura around him that could not be ignored.

The man's ears were wearing a pair of stud earrings made of obsidian, his thousands of black hairs were casually hanging on his back, and only a few strands fell on his forehead.

The man in purple smiled evilly. He propped his chin with his right hand, looked at Xiao Jiuge opposite him, opened his lips, and said a silent word to Xiao Jiuge.

Seeing the man's mouth shape, Mu Yan knew what the man was talking about.

haven't seen you for a long time……

The man was saying this to Xiao Jiuge.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Jiuge, and Xiao Jiuge seemed to feel Mu Yan's gaze.

Xiao Jiuge withdrew all his thoughts, then smiled lightly at Mu Yan, and nodded his head as a signal to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan looked at the man beside him who looked like a banished fairy, and he opened his lips and asked softly: "I am very puzzled by a question, I wonder if Prime Minister Xiao can give me some advice?"

Xiao Jiuge quietly glanced at the man in purple who was opposite him.

Then, he turned his head and said to Mu Yan, "Excuse me, my lord."

Mu Yan looked at Xiao Jiuge and asked, "I still don't know why that white pear blossom is the dirty color in this world? Can the prime minister explain it to me?"

Xiao Jiuge was startled, and a wry smile could not help appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Prince Mu, if I say this, is this just casually saying that the lord is trustworthy?"

Mu Yan said: "The prime minister doesn't want to tell me the answer, so even if I don't believe it, I have to believe it, right?"

Xiao Jiuge raised his head, sighed softly, and looked at the man in black next to his seat.

A black robe can't hide his arrogance, can't stop his aura, at this time he is like the supreme person in the world, as if all rivers and mountains thousands of miles away would be subdued by him.

Looking at the man in black, Xiao Jiuge couldn't help but slightly opened his lips and asked, "Prince Mu, I have read nearly a few people and know what the world thinks, but for some reason, I... can't see through Prince Mu."

Mu Yan picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, as if he drank all his sorrows.

Turning his head, he looked at Xiao Jiuge and said, "Prime Minister Xiao, if you can't see through it, then don't read it, otherwise, you will be very tired."

"That's fine, sometimes it's really tiring to see through it." Xiao Jiuge laughed as if laughing at himself.

Then, he picked up the tea in front of him and drank lightly.

Mu Yan looked at Xiao Jiuge, and couldn't help but smile wryly, then poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

The banquet is over.

Everyone bowed their hands to Xiao Jiuge to say goodbye, and Xiao Jiuge responded one by one.

But Mu Yan, who was in the dark, saw it. When everyone left, the man in purple came to Xiao Jiuge's side, and seemed to want to grab Xiao Jiuge's arm, but Xiao Jiuge dodged to hide Passed all the actions of the man.

Because of Xiao Jiuge's movements, the man in purple froze in mid-air, and then withdrew his hand with a wry smile.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mu Yan knew that Xiao Jiuge must have a deep relationship with this man.

Prime Minister's House.

After entering the study, Xiao Jiuge said to the hidden guard behind him: "Ye Feng, you step back."

There seemed to be a voice in the dark answering: "Yes."

Walking into the study, Xiao Jiuge took out the tea that the servant had just brewed on the table, and poured it.

But he poured not just one cup of tea, but two.

After the tea was poured, Xiao Jiuge said to the dark side of the beam: "After following for so long, you must be tired. Come down and have a sip of tea."

There seemed to be a voice coming from the beam, and then a black figure jumped down, saying: "I don't know that the Prime Minister's martial arts are so advanced."

Even he can detect...

Xiao Jiuge said lightly: "It's just that your hearing is good, but I don't know why Prince Mu visited the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night."

Mu Yan said: "If this king says that this king came to the prime minister's mansion just to ask Prime Minister Xiao for a cup of sober tea, the prime minister can be trusted."

Looking at the indifferent but unruly man in front of him, Xiao Jiuge sat down on the chair, and replied with a chuckle, "I believe."

Mu Yan didn't expect Xiao Jiuge to answer like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

I could only sit awkwardly on a chair and drink tea, trying to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

Xiao Jiuge, who was sipping tea with his head down, raised his head and smiled lightly at Mu Yan, "Since Prince Mu has also drunk the tea, I wonder if I can play a game of chess with you, okay?"

Mu Yan frowned. He didn't know what Xiao Jiuge was planning, so he could only respond.

I saw Xiao Jiuge take out the chessboard, put it on the table and set it up on the table. Mu Yan held the black piece in his hand.

Mu Yan couldn't help sighing, "What a jade."

When Xiao Jiuge heard Mu Yan's praise, he just smiled lightly, and said, "Your Majesty Mu will invite you first."

He held the white ball in his hand, and his slender hands looked as white as jade against the background of the white ball.

"Then the king will not be polite." Mu Yan said.

With a crisp sound, Heizi fell, followed by Baizi.

For a moment, in the chess game, the white piece seemed to be placed randomly, but it seemed to be planning every step of the way.

Heizi seems to be pressing every step of the way, but upon closer inspection, he seems to be chased by the white man and has nowhere to run, every step of the way is robbed, and he can only watch the white man gradually eat the sunspot.

A quarter of an hour later, Mu Yan's sunspot was in a dead end.

Xiao Jiuge looked up at Mu Yan, who was sweating thinly on his forehead, and said lightly, "Prince Mu, you are impatient. You seem to be calm, and everything seems to be in your plan. Although you have a large number of elite soldiers, but But you don't know my plan, step by step, you stepped into my plan, and finally... you can't escape death."

Before the words were finished, a white piece landed on the chessboard, and with a crisp "click", the black piece in the chess game had no power to resist.

"Lord Mu, you lost." Looking up, Xiao Jiuge said.

"Who are you?" Mu Yan's voice had become cold, and there was already a dagger in his palm secretly on his sleeve.

Xiao Jiuge smiled lightly, and said while packing up the chess pieces: "Prince Mu thinks highly of me, I'm just a little prime minister, so put away the hidden weapon in your sleeve, I can't bear it."

"Prime Minister?" Mu Yan sneered secretly: "This king doesn't know, which little prime minister can know so much."

As he said this, Mu Yan had already put away the dagger in his hand. Since the hidden weapon had been detected, it was useless.

Xiao Jiuge shook his head: "I really don't know anything, all I know is this chess game, and I'm only talking about this chess game."

After Xiao Jiuge finished speaking, he started to play again, but he became the one holding the sunspot.

Looking closely at the chessboard, Xiao Jiuge actually retreated the chess game to the previous step before Mu Yan was upset, and he played against himself.

In the chess game, Bai Zi still plays without any rules, and is afraid to plan every step of the way, but at this time, Hei Zi has lost his panic, and actually fights with Bai Zi, deliberate and pressing every step of the way.

After the last sound, the sunspot fell, and the outcome was decided.

In the chess game, the sunspots did not fall into the calamity set by the white ones like before. Instead, they went step by step and led the white pieces into the calamity set by him, slowly eroding until the victory was decided.

After the round was over, Xiao Jiuge raised his head, looked at Mu Yan, who was already stunned in his seat, and said, "Prince Mu, do you know where you lost?"

Then Xiao Jiuge chuckled and rested his head on his right hand, as if changing into a comfortable position.

He raised his left hand lightly, then stretched out a finger, pointed at Mu Yan's heart, and said softly: "You didn't lose to your formation, nor did you lose to Baizi's strategy, let alone lose To the soldiers and horses, what you lost was your own heart, the heart of hatred and eagerness for revenge, you let the hatred blind your thoughts, and made yourself step by step into Baizi's calamity, and finally into the abyss."

Mu Yan cupped his hands and looked at Xiao Jiuge and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Xiao, for your reminder. Mu Yan has been taught, but Mu Yan still wants to know how the prime minister knew."

Xiao Jiuge smiled lightly: "My lord, you may be thinking too much, just like what I said before, I am just talking about this chess game, and have no other intentions."

Mu Yan frowned and said, "I finally know why the emperor trusted you and entrusted all the military forces in South Vietnam to you."

Xiao Jiuge shook his head, with the same polite smile on his face: "I'm just a little prime minister, how can I know what the emperor thinks, what I'm doing is just to help the emperor to make suggestions for the South Vietnam military. .”

At this time, Mu Yan couldn't ask anything when he saw it, so he stood up, cupped his hands to Xiao Jiuge and said, "I see that it's getting late, and I've been bothering you for a long time at the prime minister's mansion. Thank you for your hospitality."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yan got up and walked towards the door.

"You're welcome." A cold voice sounded behind Mu Yan.

Mu Yan stopped at the door of the study.

Turning around, he looked at the cold person in white clothes standing behind him, just like the one he saw at first sight, so lonely but with endless elegance.

Unable to help, Mu Yan asked: "If one day I become an emperor and sit on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, would you like to be my minister and accompany me?"

Xiao Jiuge was taken aback, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Afterwards, he only heard him say in a half-answer: "Prince Mu, I said before that I am just a little prime minister."

This seemingly half-answered answer also made Mu Yan silent.

Lifting his foot, he walked out of Xiangfu's study.

Xiao Jiuge turned around and returned to the chess table, but he didn't put away the chess pieces, but started to play against himself again.

At this time, he was still holding the white piece, but he didn't know who the black piece was.

In the chess game, Bai Zi presses hard at every step, sets up tricks, exhausts all strategies, every move pushes the Hei Zi into desperation, making the Hei Zi no way to survive.

But Heizi fled around without any rules. At the end of the chess game, that Heizi seemed to use all the chess pieces he could mobilize, and wanted to fight back when he was dying, but Baizi saw it through.

One step, the white piece makes the black piece lose all the pieces.

Until the last white piece falls, the game is settled, and there is no way for the black pieces on the chessboard to survive.

Xiao Jiuge lowered his eyes lightly, and the moonlight shone on Xiao Jiuge's body through the window, adding to Xiao Jiuge's coolness that did not belong to the world.

Looking at the chess game for a long time, I saw a very faint smile appearing on the corner of Xiao Jiuge's lips: "You are dead."

It's just that no one knows whether this "death" refers to Heizi who died under Baizi's plan, or if there are other intentions...
