Bastards

When Cui Yu's heart was agitated, Yang Xuan had already started to tell the story slowly. Now that he had made a decision, he would not hesitate any longer.

Of course, the identity is related, and the details of this trip will still not be disclosed. He is still waiting for Cui Yu to guess with his own ability. He only said that because of some objective problems, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and he must not show himself in front of others, otherwise he will be killed. disaster.

"But don't worry too much, there are very few people outside who know me."

Cui Mata glared at him, knowing the danger and dare to play like this!

Seeing that Cui Yu's complexion finally changed, Yang Xuan was slightly satisfied. He sat upright, with his arms resting on the side of the chair, his sword-like eyebrows raised and his eyes settled down. When I was there, I was in danger and my life was in danger."

Cui Yu continued to stare at him, with the attitude towards the savior, now he knows he has woken up!

As if seeing the emotion in Cui Yu's eyes, Yang Xuan's lips twitched: "Those who don't know are not guilty, you are so wise and generous, you will definitely not blame me, will you?"

Cui Yan narrowed his eyes and nodded with some difficulty.This brat started shaking when he didn't pay attention!

"Let's talk about my situation." The premise was casual, and Yang Xuan quickly got to the point, "My itinerary this time is very confidential, and I have made detailed arrangements for everyone who knows, but I have 20 personal attendants. I encountered interception and pursuit almost every time. It was expected, so this ghost must be among the 20 people..."

These people have been with him for a long time, and their loyalty is obvious. Yang Xuan never thought that anyone would betray him.At the beginning of the fight, the enemy was fierce, and he didn't have time to think in this direction. It wasn't until he was ambushed several times that he felt that something was wrong.

At that time, the situation was already very dangerous, and it was not sure who the insider was. No matter whether he followed the established route or re-planned the route, as long as there was this person by his side, he would still be ambushed until the other party succeeded.

He made a decisive decision and withdrew alone when he was blocked again, cutting off contact with everyone.But the people around him are very familiar with his behavior and habits, and they are quite capable in following his tracks, so he still hasn't been out of danger.

What's even more unfortunate is that he accidentally slipped down a cliff while avoiding the enemy and hit a heavy rock on the back of his head. He also lost part of his recent memory.This inner ghost image is even more confusing...

It was at this time that he met Cui Yu.At that time, he was the most suspicious and had the most murderous intentions, so when we first met, he wanted to kill Cui Yu.Cui Yu's words shifted his focus. He realized that even though he was as strong as him, he was still invincible in a dangerous situation alone. It was better to mix in the crowd and narrow down the target.

Fortunately, he has a lot of medicine on him.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if he can't see' the prince, he still has a lot of channels to get a lot of secret medicine in his hands, whether it kills people or saves lives, the effect is amazing.

He poisoned Cui Mata's master and servant in order to control him.

He also used good wound medicine to make his seemingly heavy and terrible injuries heal in a few days.

……

After going through a series of crises, he finally crossed the Weishui River and reached the boundary of Chang'an. Yang Xuan successfully found the subordinate who had been arranged to stay here in advance. After a bloody night, he devised a method to lure ghosts before he had time to rest.

He hates to grind and grind the fights of ghosts and ghosts the most. Now that he is free to toss, and since his whereabouts are a mystery, almost everyone is looking for news about him, so why not share it with them!He doesn't have the patience to hide and seek with those people!

He released his exclusive mark, let Jiachen and his personal guards carry it, divided his whereabouts into several directions, and threw them out one after another.

Only the twenty personal attendants know the exclusive imprint and changing law of this trip, he only needs to send someone to guard and see where an ambush appears to intercept him, and he will understand.

Those who are loyal to him will come to look for the mark when they see it, and if they can't find it, they will be anxious, and they may foolishly send a message to their companions, saying that the master may be in danger again and come to rescue him.Of course, the people who accompany him are rarely so stupid. If the situation develops like this, many people should have already guessed the reason and will be more cautious.After confirming his loyalty, the private guards will appear, and if he shows his handwriting, nothing will happen.

When the inner ghost sees the imprint, it will definitely sell it. Where the imprints are gradually concentrated, there will be a secret siege!

There is a slight time difference in the middle, and more than half of the people can be tested.If the inner ghost is too clever, he will be bound to others at any time... In other words, find a chance to cause some danger and separate the attendants one by one.

For the sake of the authenticity of this fishing plan, Yang Xuan even left in the dark one night, traveled a hundred miles at night, went to a certain spot to light up his face in person, attracted the attendants to come, and went back for a hundred miles, returning to the village before dawn. Thank you guest house.

After hearing this, Cui Yu was very shocked, but also a little distressed, and his eyes were quite complicated: "...I'm sorry for you."

Among other things, the last one is farther than two marathons!Even if he knows martial arts and has good physical fitness, it doesn't mean he won't be tired. If he can survive now, there must be something wrong the next day, but he didn't notice that Yang Xuan lost his composure at all!

Yang Xuan took a sip of tea calmly, and his eyeliner, like Mo Ran's, slanted up with his movements: "What are you thinking about? The horse I'm riding."

Cui Mata: ... Well, he was stupid.

But this method is indeed very good. If there is no accident, the inner ghost will definitely be caught!Cui Yan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and he recognized Yang Xuan's behavior, timing, method, and details, all of which had been thought of, and it would be impossible for someone else to do it better.

Yang Xuan casually flicked the non-existent dust on the corner of his sleeve: "The scope has been narrowed down to three people, maybe tonight, I will be able to find out who he is." His expression and words were full of pride.

Cui Yu couldn't help but hit the nail on the head: "But you can successfully catch the inner ghost, but you may not be able to catch him."

Since you are an inner ghost, you must be deeply scheming and be careful in everything. Even if you are besieged with the enemy who bought the news, you will not stand "bravely" in the front, and you must stay far away, and you can run away if there is any trouble.

It is even more impossible to show up again if you feel exposed.

Yang Xuan narrowed her eyes: "So I will—"

"So you will do whatever it takes, even if you turn the inner ghost's place upside down, you have to catch him and kill him." Cui Yan frowned slightly, and his dark eyes turned sideways, "Is that right?"

Yang Xuan pursed her lips tightly: "Beside me, no one can betray me!"

"Even if this is at all costs, it may make you lose everything?" Cui Yu sneered, his voice was serious, as if there were ice shards, "If you make too much noise, you will be exposed, and your strength will not be hidden. And——you As I said, once you appear, you will be killed, this time, it may not be behind your back!"

Judging from the current situation, although there are quite a few people who want to kill Yang Xuan, the Holy Majesty on the Dragon Throne is certainly not.Even if he wanted to change the crown prince, the emperor had to find a good time and think about the reasons. Before that, Yang Xuan had to live well.The emperor didn't want to kill him, so all other people's actions were in the dark.If Yang Xuan exposed himself, the emperor would be frightened and angry at his son's power, how could he tolerate it?Coupled with the actions of all parties, Yang Xuan will really have no way out when the time comes.

Originally, there was a long and dangerous journey in front of him, walking on the tip of a knife, but now he is actively courting death?

Cui Yu really wanted to give Yang Xuan a hard knock on the head: "What is going on in your mind?"

Yang Xuan squeezed the teacup tightly with her fingers, but didn't speak.

Cui Mata sighed deeply.

Looking at Yang Xuan's expression before, he had a bad guess, and it turned out to be true.Although Yang Xuan is smart and knows how to use tricks to catch people, it is really inappropriate to use force and use his own strength to arrest people regardless of everything.

After all, he is still young, full of energy, and immature.

"It may not be as serious as you think," Yang Xuan still insisted, "I'm very strong."

Cui Yu's hands were really itchy this time, and he couldn't help but knocked on Yang Xuan's head: "Yes, you are very strong, but this matter, there is no need to take such a big risk."

Originally, he deliberately forced Yang Xuan to speak because he was worried. Now, of course, he has to help clean up the mess. Cui Yan lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, listen to me. Find out who the ghost is, If you fail to win a round in a private fight, you will order all your subordinates to return, and you must not act rashly, and leave the follow-up matters to me."

"here you are?"

"Of course, don't you believe me?" Cui Yan nodded his forehead, the corners of his eyes slightly slanted, and a red mole between his brows made him look more mysterious, "Young man, strategy."

……

Here Cui Yu and Yang Xuan had a heart-to-heart talk, Xie Wen in the front yard tidied up and went out for a stroll—he was a guest.

It was too late to see Cui Yu's note last night, it was rude to disturb each other during the night visit, Xie Wen tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep all night.Regardless of the conversation before or the note this night, he felt that Cui Yu was unusual, and he felt a little excited in his heart, which inspired a very beautiful premonition, as if the future was bright and the flowers were blooming...

See you in the morning, sure enough!With a few words, Cui Yu asked a few innocuous questions, and then made a suggestion.It's very simple, but after careful consideration, it must be effective, why didn't he think of it himself!

If I can really get back my grandfather's Moyu chessboard...

Walking to the street, Xie Wen smiled and put on a good face, no longer wandering in thought, concentrated his energy, and walked towards his destination.

The Li family has a small banquet today.

The Li family in Huaishu Hutong in Chang’an is not the famous Li family in Longxi. This Li family was a small family that cultivated land four generations ago. Later, they raised a scholar. .With knowledge and vision, the father of a scholar devoted all he had to train his son and attract nobles. The parents of this generation can finally be a petty official.

The Li family is good at drilling, which is different from businessmen's drilling. They know how to measure, play the brand of farming and studying, expand their social network, marry relatives, and expand their social network... Because they are knowledgeable and interesting, they are very capable of doing things, and they are quite popular with some aristocratic families. Officials are favored, so even though there are no high-ranking officials in the clan, life is not bad.According to this development, as long as there are no major mistakes, the Li family will definitely get better and better, and it is not certain that it will become the object of others' curry favor.

The Li family is all about socializing, and hosting banquets is a common thing. There are large and small banquets every month, and they can always invite all kinds of guests.

Xie Wen relied on his status and never participated in such a small banquet, but today...

"Hey! Look at who I'm looking at, thank you fifth son!" The third son of the Li family who heard the message from the porter early greeted him with a smile on his face, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. !"

Xie Wen was in a better mood when he saw that it was Li San who received the black jade chessboard gifted by his grandfather who greeted him, and now he didn't even have to look for it!

"Today's small banquet in your residence, is it presumptuous of me?" He smiled brightly and was extremely satisfied.

Li San was even more flattered: "Thank you, Fifth Young Master, for what you said! You took the time to come here, it really shines!"

"Brother Li, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Xie Wu."

"This... how can you be so rude..." Li San smiled almost showing his gaping teeth, "Then you will be impolite, I want to thank you, Fifth Brother!"

……

Xie Wen's gestures are all aristocratic demeanor trained in childhood, smooth and flowing, full of beauty, coupled with a constant smile and a suitable speech demeanor, as long as he wants to, he can talk and laugh with anyone, like a spring breeze.Li San is one of the best communication skills of this generation, even if he tried his best to remind himself not to pass, don't be disrespectful, he still couldn't help being light-hearted, his face was slightly red and his eyes were slightly watery, looking at Xie Wen, he almost forgot who he was.

The topic changed several times, and it was normal for it to fall on the Moyu chessboard.

"You are lucky. The black jade chessboard is really good, especially for summer." Xie Wen smiled calmly, with a calm demeanor, and he didn't feel any distress for his own things at all, as if he had seen too many similar good things, and this one couldn't be ranked Number.

Li San touched his head and smiled: "It's also the old man's love."

"My hands are itchy and sitting is boring, brother Li, would you like to talk with your hands?"

Li San was not hypocritical, and immediately called the boy to ask his wife to open the warehouse and bring the precious chessboard.

Of course, it is not easy for women in the inner house to meet outside men, so the third wife found out the chessboard and asked the housekeeper to deliver it in person.

The chessboard was wrapped with a soft brocade lining, and there was a fine wooden box outside. Li San happily opened it, and Xie Wen watched quietly, with the same expression, until Li San removed all the packaging and took out the Moyu chessboard.

Xie Wen looked at the chessboard and was suddenly startled.

His changes were too obvious, Li San could not have noticed it: "Thank you Fifth Brother, this chessboard..."

Xie Wen didn't answer, he just looked straight at the chessboard with a solemn expression. After a long time, even his voice became tense: "This chessboard, can I take a closer look?"

Li San was puzzled, his heart was beating suddenly, and he led with one hand: "Thank you, Fifth Brother."

Xie Wen sat upright with his hands tied, took out his brocade handkerchief and wiped his hands, then approached respectfully and carefully touched the chessboard... After a long while, he smiled, and congratulated Li San with a slightly excited expression: "Congratulations!" Brother Li!"

Li San was a little baffled, and felt even more guilty in his heart: "Brother Xie...why did you say that?"

"I thought your grandfather gave you the black jade chessboard in the library at home, but I didn't expect it to be this one!" Xie Wen was very excited, "Look at this ink line! This corner! This chessboard! This is from the pre-Qin period Craftsmanship!"

Li San was a little confused: "From pre-Qin..." What's wrong?

"This chessboard is famous all over the world. The Wang family and the Zheng family have come to ask for it. When Luoyang heard the news, the clan and the royal family sent people to ask for it!" He didn't want to leave the chessboard, "Now that my grandfather gave it to you, probably these people will come to you to beg. Why isn't it worth celebrating when you get this thing? You will definitely keep it more carefully in the future, I'm afraid I won't see it La……"

Li San's heart sank.

The Wang family and Zheng family that Xie Wen talked about, needless to say, must be the Wang family of Langya and the Zheng family of Xingyang, both of which are well-known aristocratic families!There is also the royal family of the clan, which cannot be said in detail, but how can the status of the clan members who associate with the Xie family be low?Maybe it's the prince...

Their Li family can live in Chang'an and survive in the cracks. Naturally, they are trembling like walking on thin ice. They know how to measure, what they can think about and what they can't.After several generations of hard work, they have the opportunity to enter the door of Xie's family, and they dare not be too ignorant and annoying too often. They would like to think about other aristocratic families, but so far they have no chance.

This black jade chessboard attracts so many people's love, so the aristocratic family will not care. Others think it is an opportunity, but for his Li family... it is a hot potato!

How capable, how big a bowl of rice is served, and a child carrying gold to go through the market is definitely not a good thing. The Li family is not qualified to play with these nobles now, if one is not careful, it will be a disaster!

There was no need to discuss it with his family, Li San made a decision directly: "The boy is blind and short-sighted, and he doesn't know that this thing is a treasure. If he knew it earlier, how dare he accept it? Please help the fifth young master and return this treasure to the old man."

Xie Wen was surprised: "How did this happen? My grandfather never took back what was given to others."

"I really don't know that Mr. Xie is so generous... Fifth Young Master, please help me! You think you like it too, don't you?"

"You don't have to have it if you like it. You have a treasure, so you should cherish it even more."

……

The two said a word, Xie Wen made a gesture of not accepting it, Li San desperately sent it off, almost knelt down and kowtowed to beg, Xie Wen sighed deeply, and pretended to agree.

Starting with the weight of the chessboard, thinking of his grandfather's smiling face, Xie Wen tensed up so hard that he didn't laugh out loud.

Cui Mata's method really worked!

This method seems to take advantage of the treasures of the chessboard and the power of various dignitaries. On the surface, it congratulates Li San, but it is actually scaring him. Some problems are difficult to explain clearly, and clever deterrence can break the situation...

Seeing that Xie Wen took away the chessboard, Li San wiped his hand, and was finally relieved.You can't take the hot potato by yourself. If you don't give it to anyone, you will be offended. It is safest to return it to the original owner!However, after this incident, it can be regarded as offending the Xie family a little, and he needs to be more patient in the future...

Xie Wen's trip today was full of ambition, and immediately after returning home, he graciously sent the chessboard to Mr. Xie Yan, confessed the past and the past, and specifically mentioned Cui Yu's open-mindedness, intelligence, kindness and wisdom.

Mr. Xie was holding the chessboard, his dentures were exposed when he smiled, and he immediately waved his hand and told his grandson: Who is this kid surnamed Cui?Bring him to meet the old man!

……

When the news of the invitation came from the main courtyard, Cui Yu was pawing the tiger together with Yang Xuan. The cub was lazily being pawed, lying on the bed with all four paws swaying upwards, revealing its soft belly, and screaming softly. .

As soon as he heard the rumor that the Patriarch was welcome, and Xie Wen was there, Cui Yu immediately understood that the dark deterrent strategy he suggested by combining all kinds of information, making side-effects, and touching the soul succeeded!

Mr. Xie, please meet... The opportunity he wanted to seek has arrived!

Cui Yu immediately opened the cabinet, arranged and changed clothes.

Yang Xuan raised her eyebrows: "Why are you so solemn?"

"On the battlefield!"

The author has something to say: Little Tiger (star-eyed): Meow——Ma Ma is so tired!

Matata Beauty (gentle): Hu Chou needs to read more books. This deterrent strategy stands out from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods of Chuling King Qijiang Lu Zhaogong...but it was a precious bow at that time.

Prince (drool): The daughter-in-law is so annoying!

Meiren Mata (cross-eyed): Straighten your tongue before speaking.Also, the above applies to you too.

Prince (surprised): I'm hot - so handsome!It's not that whoever is beautiful has the final say, and everything is right!

Mata beauty (smiling): So...
