king array

Ling Xun was choked by Mu Jiu's words, and he couldn't answer for a long time. Generally speaking, this kind of choking behavior is done by him. Now it is Mu Jiu, Ling Xun finally knows that he was choked by himself. what mood those people are in.However, he wasn't annoyed at all, instead he looked more and more pleasing to Mu Jiu.

Capable people just need to be a little bit more arrogant, any kind of modesty and prudence is bullshit, it's a fig leaf for mediocrity.

It's just that neither of them spoke for a while, and the room seemed very quiet. At this moment, Tong'er Jinyan came in to change the tea.

Mu Jiu just poured a cup of tea for Ling Xun, but Ling Xun didn't take half a sip of it before it went cold, and when Jinyan replaced him with hot one, he glanced into the cup and waved his hand in distaste: "What tea do you want? , It's late at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well after drinking tea, so I should have a pot of wine."

Just look at Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu frowned slightly, obviously disapproving.

Ling Xun hurriedly said: "Huaifeng, it seems that you and I have never met wine before."

So Mu Jiu said to Jinyan: "Go and see if there is any wine, and warm a pot."

Jinyan took the order and went away, with extremely high efficiency, and soon came in with a jug, but only one wine glass.

"Sir, there is only one wine glass found in this other courtyard, how about you and your lord use a tea cup instead?"

Before Mu Jiu could speak, Ling Xun hurriedly interrupted: "This wine is the top-grade Mianzhu wine I brought from Yizhou. You can only drink it in a porcelain cup, and you can't touch this pottery teacup!"

"This..." Little Tong'er was in a dilemma, "It's already late at night, I'm afraid I won't find anyone to ask for a glass when I go out."

Ling Xun didn't care, "Hey, what's the matter, I'll have a drink with Huai Feng." He poured a glass of wine and pushed it to Mu Jiu.

Jinyan looked at Mu Jiu again.

Mu Jiu waved his hand to signal him to back down, then picked up the wine that Ling Xun had poured for him, and drank it down in one gulp.

Ling Xun waited for Mu Jiu to put down the wine glass, poured another glass, and drank it himself.

After drinking for three rounds like this, the aroma of wine permeated the room, and the temperature seemed to be much higher.

Ling Xun lazily leaned against the table, propped his head up and looked at Mu Jiu, in the dim light of candlelight, beside the bed in the middle of the night, the brazier in the room was warming up, the two shadows faced each other, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"Mu Jiu has something to say and wants to ask the lord."

"Huaifeng just say it." Ling Xun sat up straight symbolically, as if he wanted to pack up a bit of solemnity, but this did not change his boneless laziness.

Mu Jiu didn't care about Ling Xun's lazy cat-like appearance. He looked over with a pair of eyes and said after a while, "Today I want to stab the lord with a dagger, why is the lord willing to cooperate with me?"

"I thought Huaifeng was going to ask something, but it turned out to be this." Ling Xun laughed, "These formation masters on Qingping Mountain are all thorns. Although I think you are acting harsh this time, I also know that this is the last It’s a good opportunity to convince the public. If you can establish your authority this time, it will be convenient for you to do things in the future, and you won’t be hindered.”

"Is the lord not afraid?"

Ling Xun wondered: "Afraid? What am I afraid of?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'm really bad for the lord? Are you not afraid that I will really stab the dagger into the lord's chest?"

Ling Xun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, leaned over, and approached Mu Jiudao: "I invite Huaifeng to come out of the mountain, of course I want to worship as a military adviser. If you can't trust people, how can you use them?"

Ling Xun was born with red lips and white teeth, but now his lips were moistened with wine, and they were as red and tender as petals, exuding a faint smell of wine.

I don't know if it was because he was slightly drunk, but Mu Jiu, who has always been restrained, seemed to have his eyes glued to those two lips, unable to take them off.

"Then, why did the lord stand up and stand in front of me in the end?" He stared at Ling Xun's lips with lowered eyes, and his voice became deeper and deeper.

"Didn't I already say this before, my feet slipped a bit." Ling Xun smiled even more intensely, leaning forward across the table, getting closer and closer to Mu Jiu, but just as he was about to stagger on top of him At this time, Mu Jiu suddenly lost his mind and dodged to the side.

Ling Xun rushed to nothing, but he was thick-skinned without any embarrassment. He just stretched out his hand to support Mu Jiu's shoulder, and excused himself: "Look, didn't this slip again."

Mu Jiu got up to support Ling Xun, and sent him back to his original position safely, but from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a stiff smile on the corners of Ling Xun's lips.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back." Ling Xun stood up and said goodbye, but Mu Jiu didn't keep him.Standing at the door, Ling Xun, probably drunk, suddenly said without a word: "Actually, I just want to come and see you, and I don't know what's going on."

Mu Jiu's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he said like a ghost, "I have a chess game here, I wonder if my lord is interested in solving it?"

Ling Xun's gloomy eyes lit up, and at that moment, it was like a puppy seeing a bone, going back and forth, and sitting firmly opposite Mu Jiu again.

"I like solving chess games the most," Ling Xun said.

Mu Jiu glanced at Ling Xun, and didn't call Jinyan to come in. Instead, he took the chess pieces from the chessboard and set up the chess formation.

Ling Xun stared at the board full of black and white, thinking intently, but didn't notice that Mu Jiu was looking at him, and he didn't know how long it took before he made a move on the board.

Mu Jiu didn't put his mind on the chess game at first, but when he saw Ling Xun making a move, he just followed him casually, Ling Xun continued to make moves, and he continued to follow up, but after three moves, Mu Jiu was surprised by the change of the chess game .

"Why, what does Huaifeng think of my move?" Ling Xun asked nervously.

Mu Jiu stared at the chessboard in disbelief, and after a while he cupped his hands and said, "My lord is very good at chess, and Mu Jiu is willing to bow down."

Ling Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and said modestly, "It's just good luck."

After all, the night ended with the guests enjoying themselves. When Ling Xun left, Mu Jiu still stood by the chessboard for a long time.

Jinyan waited for a long time but didn't see that the master wanted to sleep, so he leaned forward and took a look at the chessboard, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Patriarch, you spent many years laying out this chess game, and how many middle and high-level players can only return home without a feather. Why was it solved today?"

Mu Jiu didn't answer, but lightly touched the three chess pieces that Ling Xun dropped with his fingertips, his expression difficult to distinguish.

Before dawn the next day, Ling Xun was woken up by Fang Jue.Because he drank alcohol before going to bed, he slept very deeply this time, so when Fang Jue woke him up, he got up very badly.

"Master Feng? Master Feng?" Fang Jue finally dragged Ling Xun out of Zhou Gong from the pat to the shake, from the shake to the push.

"What's going on! It's not yet dawn, what the hell is your name!"

"Master Feng, something has happened." Fang Jue's voice was low, but he threw Ling Xun a cannonball that could go up to the sky, "That Master Huang is dead."

"What did you say? Who's dead?"

"Master Huang! It's the Master Huang who bumped into you yesterday!"

Ling Xun woke up suddenly, without any sleepiness left.

"how can that be?"

Ling Xun couldn't believe it.Mu Jiu has always acted in a proper manner. Although the Master Huang was bled a lot by him, he saved his life after all. Mu Jiu said that if that person can live, that person will definitely be able to live in safety. How could he die suddenly.

"Did not die from blood loss." Fang Jue lowered his voice subconsciously, approached Ling Xun and said, "He was killed by someone, and he wiped his neck directly at night."

Ling Xun was a little surprised, "Do you know who did it?"

"It's an ordinary villager in the refugee village at the foot of the mountain. I haven't had time to find out why."

Fang Jue knew that Mage Huang was quite prestigious among those formation masters. After all, this matter was caused by Mu Jiu. He was worried that Ling Xun would be involved, so he didn't bother to continue the investigation, and ran back to inform Ling Xun first.

"I see, you go, and see what's going on." Ling Xun sent Fang Jue away, and lay down on the bed again, but he was full of thoughts.

It was just when the morning sun first emerged, Qingping Mountain was still shrouded in a peaceful morning fog, and a violent storm was brewing without anyone knowing it.

Ling Xun had a hunch that Master Huang's matter might not be good.

As expected, just after dawn, the news of Master Huang's death in the middle of the night spread throughout Qingping Mountain. It was like stabbing a hornet's nest with one pole. The yard where I live is tightly fenced.

Ling Xun got the news one step earlier, and had already run to Mu Jiuyuan, but was blocked by the little Tong'er Jinyan.

"My lord, wait a moment, let me go in and report to Mr."

"They're all men, what else do you need to report? I have something urgent to see your husband." Ling Xun couldn't help but push the door and barge in, but he almost bumped into Mu Jiu who came out head-on.

"My lord came just in time. I have already figured out a way to solve the chess game last night." Mu Jiu rarely showed a little joy that he didn't usually have, and took Ling Xun's hand directly, and pulled him into the room.

Ling Xun was so worried that after being caught in the "beauty trick", there were no scumbags left, and he pulled his little hand, thinking about nothing, and obediently followed Mu Jiu into the house.

Mu Jiu showed him the chessboard, and saw that the layout of the chess pieces on it was different from last night.

"I already figured out a way to deal with it last night, my lord might as well try again today to see if I can break my chess game."

Seeing that there were more than twice as many chess pieces on the chessboard as last night, Ling Xun couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, and finally told the truth.

"Huaifeng, to tell you the truth, in fact, in fact, I don't know how to play chess at all. I broke your chess game last night, but it was just a mistake."

Mu Jiu smiled slightly.

Afraid that Mu Jiu would be disappointed, Ling Xun hurriedly put on a pitiful look, and grabbed Mu Jiu's sleeve, "Huaifeng, I lost my parents since I was a child, and I have only one money eye in my heart. I don't know anything about painting and calligraphy, but I am willing to learn, as long as you are willing to teach me, I will learn quickly! After I have learned it, I will solve your chess game, okay?"

Ling Xun's soft voice can easily be mistaken for coaxing the little daughter. From the expression to the words, it is quite ironic. Even Mu Jiu made him lose his temper like this. He nodded and said: : "Playing chess helps to understand the tactics. If the lord likes it, Mu Jiu is naturally willing to accompany him."

How could Ling Xun miss this great opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Then it's settled! I will come to you every night from now on."

"En." Mu Jiu replied lightly.

The atmosphere between the two was just right. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly shouted outside: "Is Mr. Mu there? Can you show your face and wait with me for a while?"
