Chapter 52 Chess Pieces
The red-roofed tent in the northwest corner of the hunting ground is where King Qi Duan Xunfeng stayed.
Liguo learned the technology of making tents from the nomads in Shuobei, and even divided the outer hall for hospitality and the inner hall for rest in the tent.
At this moment, a group of people who were originally irrelevant gathered in the outer hall.
Grand Tutor Zhuo Yu sat on the chair in the middle, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the teacup on the table, which made the always calm Zhuo Yu look sad, indicating that the situation was already serious.
Butler Zhai He stood aside, frowning.
Ding Yi and Qin Yixiao also sat on the side chairs, silent.
From time to time, Liu Luoxi raised her eyes to look at the curtain that separated the outer hall from the inner hall. A corner of the curtain was gently undulating with the breeze that penetrated into the tent.
When the first feather arrow shot at her, she clearly remembered the scene of Duan Xunfeng desperately protecting her in his arms.
If it wasn't for himself, Duan Xunfeng wouldn't be what he is now.
Why did you risk your life to save her? He knew she was not Yin Wenyan.
The question she asked Duan Xunfeng at the end has not had time to get an answer. Where does she place herself in her heart? Is she always a substitute for Yin Wenyan, or is there a little difference?
You bastard Duan Xunfeng, you are not allowed to die, live to answer the question clearly, Liu Luoxi said in her heart.
The atmosphere is dignified, everyone here is worried about Duan Xunfeng's safety for different reasons.
The imperial doctor stepped out slowly from the tent, and Grand Tutor Zhuo Yu immediately asked about the situation, "How is King Qi?"
The imperial doctor shook his head, "My medical skills are shallow, I can only temporarily suppress the cold poison and protect His Highness's heart."
"How long can it last?"
"If the cold poison can't be cleared..." The imperial doctor paused, and looked at Zhuo Yu in embarrassment, "Three days."
"Go down, don't tell anyone what happened tonight." Zhuo Yu waved his hand.
"Yes, I understand." The imperial doctor folded his sleeves and bowed, and retreated from the tent.
After Duan Xunfeng was injured, Ding Yi didn't make it public, but found Zhuo Yu. Zhuo Yu quietly sent someone to send Duan Xunfeng back to the tent where he was staying, and sealed the matter tightly.
If Zhai He is the most reliable confidant around Duan Xunfeng, then Zhuo Yu is the best adviser around Duan Xunfeng.
This Taifu, who seems to be idle and polite to everyone, is a figure that cannot be ignored at a critical moment.
Duan Xunfeng often said that Zhuo Yu is an old fox.
"Zhai He, is three days enough?" Zhuo Yu turned his head and asked Di He.
"The letter has been sent out with the fastest carrier pigeon, if there is no accident." Zhai He was still worried.
Liu Luoxi didn't understand the meaning of their words, so she could only look at Qin Yixiao, "Brother Yixiao, Lord Duan, she..."
It was confirmed that the person in front of him was Qin Yixiao, although Liu Luoxi still couldn't believe it in his heart.
Because this Qin Yixiao and the Qin Yixiao she once knew were totally different.
If someone told her that this was Qin Yixiao's long-lost twin brother or twin brother, it would be more acceptable.
Ding Yi answered Qin Yixiao's question leisurely, "Little girl, don't worry, they will find someone to save her."
Huaibei, travel Fushan.
When the weather is excellent, in the beams of sunlight, you can see the dust floating in the air.
Jiang Zi'an stood motionless in the grass, and a small golden snake was moving towards her not far away. She had been here for a month, just looking for this golden nightmare snake.
The golden nightmare snake is highly poisonous, but it is also a rare item for refining medicine. She sprinkled the spices refined by Qianshenhua on her clothes, just waiting for the golden nightmare snake to approach, and then grabbed it.
The Golden Nightmare Snake approached slowly, cautiously and full of temptation.
Everything went smoothly.
There was the sound of birds rapidly spreading their wings in the sky, and the golden nightmare snake quickly fled away.
Jiang Zi'an looked up in displeasure, and saw a gray-white pigeon descend from the sky and land on the ground.
A carrier pigeon from Prince Qi's mansion?
Jiang Zi'an flipped her hand, and a white silk wrapped the body of the pigeon and brought it to Jiang Zi'an. She reached out and took out the letter paper from the pigeon's leg.
Frowning slightly, after thinking for a moment, he set off down the mountain.
*****************
On the second and third days of the hunt, King Qi did not show up. The emperor sent someone to inquire, but Zhai He only said that the prince was unwell and needed to rest.
Zhuo Yu was still the same, appearing on some occasions to chat and laugh with the ministers, as if nothing happened.
Jiang Zi'an changed several horses almost without sleep, and was able to arrive within the time limit.
The escort who was sent had been waiting on the road for a long time, and when they saw Jiang Zi'an, they didn't hesitate to take them directly to Prince Qi.
Jiang Zi'an opened the curtain on the tent and walked in, his eyes scanned the people in the outer hall, from Ding Yi to Qin Yixiao, then to Zhai He, and when he finally landed on Liu Luoxi, he froze for a moment.
"Miss Jiang, this way please." Zhai He reminded Jiang Zi'an in a low voice, and Jiang Zi'an came back to his senses.
"No one comes in, and don't disturb me by asking about the situation." Jiang Zi'an left instructions to Zhai He and walked into the inner hall.
When Duan Xunfeng woke up, there was the sound of water droplets in her ears, she squinted her eyes, and the blurred vision gradually came into focus.
What became clear was the appearance of the person in front of him.
"Looks like I owe you another life." Duan Xunfeng said to Jiang Zi'an. After speaking, she felt severe pain from her arm. She turned her head to look, and the blood from the wound was dripping down her arm. In the tub.
The blood was not bright red as it should be, but black.
"If you don't plan to pay it back, don't say you owe it." Jiang Zi'an glanced at Duan Xunfeng and said lightly, "Although most of the cold poison is excreted from your body, it will still affect your chills."
"I see."
"I will stay these days, and I will clean up the remaining poison in your body every once in a while."
"Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me, I just don't want you to die and disgrace Master's reputation."
Duan Xunfeng smiled and didn't say anything else. Someone once said that her heart was made of iron stone, so she felt that Jiang Zi'an's heart was made of ice and had no warmth.
They are very similar, but they are not the same kind of person. She is ruthless because of her ambition, while Jiang Zi'an has no desires, and everything is dispensable in her eyes.
If there was an evaluation, Duan Xunfeng would say that seeing Jiang Zi'an's emotions affected and fluctuating is the most difficult thing in the world.
But if there is that day, Duan Xunfeng is very happy to see this scene.
*************
When Ding Yi saw Duan Xunfeng, she was still very weak, sitting on the chair opposite, wrapped in a thick fur coat.
There is a charcoal fire burning in the corner of the house, making people sweat profusely. This is summer, and it is not easy for ordinary people to endure such temperatures.
"Princess, don't come here unharmed? No, it should be called Prince Qi now." Princesses and princes are all the heirs of the emperor, but if you change the name, the rights you can hold are different. "After many years, the prince seems to be indifferent. Variety."
"It's only been six or seven years, do you think that I should become an old woman?" Duan Xunfeng smiled, and said, "Mr. came to see me specially, just to catch up with me ?”
Ding Yi shook his head and said, "Come and play chess."
"Oh?" Duan Xunfeng let out a low voice pretending to be surprised, "Since when did you get so excited? Anyway, I have nothing to do. I still have time to play chess with you. I'll send someone to bring the chess set."
Ding Yi stretched out his hand to stop Duan Xunfeng, and said, "There's no need to make detours. You must be more interested in this game of chess than I am. Nowadays, even women and children on the street know that Liguo and Yinguo will go to war sooner or later. You have fought big and small battles during this period, and you haven't had enough time to cultivate and thrive. You can be regarded as the weakest time, but you still stand still in Liguo. Why, because facing Feng Yan, Liguo has no available commander, just The so-called gold is easy to get, but a general is hard to find."
"Really? Sir, what do you think of Weiyuan Hou Huang Zitong?"
"If it was 30 years ago, he would be a rare figure."
"What about Lingxi Wang Xu Chuanqi?"
"Fighting is fine, but wisdom is not enough."
"It turns out that when I left the country, there was no one whom Mr. Wang looked up to?"
"There is no one Feng Yan who is interested, the prince should be clear in his heart."
"Then sir, this time..."
"Give you a usable chess piece."
Duan Xunfeng let out a barely audible laugh, whether it was sarcasm or relief behind the laughter, "A pawn? Why did he willingly come to be my pawn, for fame, for profit, or for..."
"For a wish that has to be fulfilled in my heart." At this moment, the expression on Ding Yi's face was unprecedentedly serious and serious.
The light leaked in from the opening of the tent, and everything placed in the tent was painted with a thin layer of gold, what a warm tone.
Duan Xunfeng and Ding kept looking into each other's eyes for a long time, but neither of them backed down.
This is a silent contest, unlike the killing and bloody on the battlefield, but equally thrilling.
In the end, Duan Xunfeng looked away, smiled and wrapped the fur coat tightly around his body, and said, "I am curious about what kind of person it is that makes Mr. Mister so steadfast."
"It's a man with thousands of horses and horses in his heart." Ding Yi fell into memory, he thought he knew the human body well, and all the training given to Qin Yixiao was definitely the limit that Qin Yixiao could bear, but unfortunately He asked her to swing a knife under the waterfall for four hours, but she could last for six hours. The water washed down from the top of the mountain weighed more than a thousand junctures. Although it would not cause real harm to the body, it was unbearable for ordinary people pain.
It is always her heart that decides a person, obsession is the power in a person's heart, sometimes it can be against thousands of troops.
"Sir, what do you think my odds of leaving the country are?"
"Use this chess piece, the outcome is unpredictable, but without this chess piece, you will definitely lose."
"My lord, I've been taught."
Ding Yi knew that Duan Xunfeng had accepted this chess piece.
After Ding Yi left, Grand Tutor Zhuoyu came to see Duan Xunfeng for tea.
The hot water is poured into the cup, and the tea leaves in the cup swirl in the same direction, like fish chasing each other at the bottom of the lake.
"It's hot, it's hot." Zhuo Yu raised his glass and took a sip. He didn't know if he meant the tea or the temperature in the tent.
"Yeah, I think it's a bit colder." Duan Xunfeng said with a smile.
Ignoring Duan Xunfeng's ridicule, Zhuo Yu said seriously, "The matter of the assassin is probably on the emperor's side..."
"I know." Duan Xunfeng interrupted Zhuo Yu, fingering back and forth on the rim of the cup, she smiled restrainedly, as if she was thinking about something, and continued after a while, "Suppress this matter for now, there are more important things to come later. thing to do."
"Old minister understands." Zhuo Yu nodded, and turned his attention back to the tea, "Is this Qingyang's dark leaf tea? This old man is addicted to it, and he doesn't even want to leave."
"Yi Lao sells Lao." Duan Xunfeng shook his head, knowing that Zhuo Yu was thinking about her tea, "I will send someone to deliver it to you later."
"Then thank you, Your Highness, the old minister will leave." Zhuo Yu tricked the tea into his hands and left immediately. If he waited a moment longer, he would be dried by the heat of the charcoal fire.
Liguo learned the technology of making tents from the nomads in Shuobei, and even divided the outer hall for hospitality and the inner hall for rest in the tent.
At this moment, a group of people who were originally irrelevant gathered in the outer hall.
