The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 81 The world of chess, you and I are both pawns

Zheng Nian did not return to the Chang'an County Government, nor did he return to the Temple of Good and Evil, but went to Dali Temple.

Wearing this attire, he wandered around three shifts of guards, and finally saw an acquaintance when the fourth shift was changing, so he dared to go up and talk.

After entering the door, Zheng Nian hurried to the courtyard where Wu Siyan was. There was no one around, only onions and garlic sprouts in the nursery, and a dog watching the yard.

The dog is not big, only its arms are long and short, its body is white, and its eyes are indeed surrounded by black.It lay down beside the nursery and gnawed at the sheep stick bone in its hand, glanced lazily at Zheng Nian, then hugged the bone in its paws tighter, as if worried that Zheng Nian would snatch it.

"Dog repair?" Zheng Nian called out.

Gouzi ignored him, exposed his buttocks to Zheng Nian, and continued to concentrate on conquering the bones in front of him.

"Master is so leisurely and elegant that he even raised a dog to watch the vegetable garden." Zheng Nian sat beside the nursery with a smile, picked up a handful of green onions, turned his head and rinsed them in a bucket, and was about to eat them. , felt a murderous aura.

Looking back, the white dog stood up, walked in front of him with a small body, gritted his teeth, drooled, showed ferocious eyes, and finally whined.

"Do you want to eat?" Zheng Nian asked.

Gouzi was taken aback, as if he never expected Zheng Nian to say such a sentence, the whining sound dissipated a little, stuck out his tongue, wheezed heavily, and turned around seven or eight times on the spot.

"Other repair dogs wag their tails when they are happy, why do you want to spin around?" Zheng Nian smiled and broke off half of the green onion, shaking it tentatively on top of its head.

Gouzi stood up, shaking his hands together up and down, his mouth slanted and his eyes slanted, seeing Zheng Nian's delicious food, he couldn't help it.

Zheng Nian threw the scallions on the ground, the dog immediately rushed over, first sniffed, whined a few times, and looked up at Zheng Nian eating bite after bite, deeply shocked.

"Chirp~ chirp~" Gouzi barked.

"It's delicious." Zheng Nian took another big bite, "Eat it, I won't lie to you."

Gouzi wondered, this taste is really strange, but seeing Zheng Nian eating it refreshingly, he was puzzled, "Chirp?"

"Are you a eunuch? The voice is so thin." Zheng Nian asked with a smile.

"Woooo...woof!" Gouzi said honestly.

"Okay, okay, eat it if you're not a eunuch, for fear of a hammer." Zheng Nian took another bite.

The dog was enraged and immediately bit it.

After the first mouthful, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, his whole body twitched, and then he turned around a dozen times on the spot, and started to eat the scallions.

After eating half of it, I felt extremely refreshed, and then went to hold the mutton stick bone in my arms, and took a bite of the bone and a bite of green onion.

Zheng Nian looked at Huanxi, and was about to continue teasing Gouzi, but when he heard a rustle, he threw the green onion in his mouth to Gouzi, and sat near the steps of the gate not far away.

When Wu Siyan came over, the first thing she saw was Zheng Nian, and the second thing she saw was that snow-white puppy eating her green onions!
He strode over angrily, grabbed the dog by the neck and lifted the dog into the air, angrily shouted, "Let you watch the garden, but you actually eat my green onions!"

Gouzi looked shocked, pointed at Zheng Nian with his short hand, and then he clasped his hands up and down in fright, "Chirp... Chirp..."

Wu Siyan put the dog on the ground, "Eat it again!"

Where did the dog dare to eat again, he immediately kicked the green onion with his back hoof, and kicked the green onion in the yard, then stepped forward with his little paw and threw a pit, and buried the few remaining green onions in it.

After finishing everything, she ran to Wu Siyan's feet, stood up and lay on her lap, chirping, chirping, chirping non-stop.

Wu Siyan didn't want to get angry with the dog, so she dragged it to Zheng Nian and sat down, grabbed the dog casually, hugged the dog in her arms, stroked the fluff, and said, "You must have a lot of questions."

"No." Zheng Nian said with a smile.

"Don't want to ask anything?" Wu Siyan tilted her head.

"There are too many questions to ask, so I don't want to ask any more." Zheng Nian stretched out his hand to pet Gouzi, but Gouzi bared his teeth and frightened him away.

Then he said, "If you know too much, you will be unhappy."

"Everyone wants to live clearly, but you don't want to." Wu Siyan said.

"I have a big heart, it doesn't matter whether I understand or not." Zheng Nian laughed.

"Luo Xiu said, you have never drank too much." Wu Siyan looked at the sky.

"I really never drank too much." Zheng Nian said.

"Then do you know about Chen Xuan'er?" Wu Siyan asked.

"I don't know." Zheng Nian put his hands on his knees and leaned against the door frame, "But I know, she won't marry casually. I can also sense that everyone around me has a more or less purposeful appearance. .”

"Do you love her?" Wu Siyan asked softly.

"Is it important to love or not?" Zheng Nian asked.

"If you love her, you will live happily. If you don't love her, you may die." Wu Siyan said.

Zheng Nian was slightly taken aback, "Will he die?"

Wu Siyan nodded, "I will die."

"But I don't think she knows anything." Zheng Nian said indifferently.

"She can't know, but it really started because of her." Wu Siyan stroked the dog and said with a smile, "I want to know but I can't."

Then his eyes fell on Zheng Nian, "And you don't want to know anything."

"I want to know now." Zheng Nian stood up, "There must be someone in our family who knows."

"Master Siqing and I suspect that Chen Heng is not dead." Wu Siyan's tone was very relaxed, as if saying that the candied haws on the East Street had increased by a penny.

"Chen Xuan'er's father?" Zheng Nian frowned, looking at Wu Siyan.

"Yes." Wu Siyan nodded, "Do you know why Chen Heng was sentenced to be beheaded?"

"Since you ask that, it must not be what it seems on the surface." Zheng Nian said.

"Chen Heng is a member of the prime minister Liu Zhishan. Liu Zhishan planned to get rid of Peng Ying, the general of the Kyoto garrison in April this year. In exchange, An Wenyue got rid of Jing Zhaoyin."

Wu Siyan dropped the dog, stood up, and leaned against another door.

Her long hair fluttered, reflecting the light of the setting sun, with red waves, "The exchange of the two congregations has shaken up the situation in the capital."

"What does this have to do with me?" Zheng Nian asked.

"An Wenyue is the number one eunuch in the court, and Liu Zhishan is the number one minister in power. They are like fire and water and they are divided into courts. This is what you must know."

Wu Siyan said, "You need to know more about the power behind Liu Zhishan, which is the biggest power in the world today, Jin Yu Lou."

"Golden Rain Tower has a large number of people, and the financial resources are as high as the sky. The disciples of the alliance are all over the entire Zhongzhou area, and there are many masters. The 36-armor sword armor, knife armor, and medical armor are all among them."

"Golden Rain Tower..." Zheng Nian thought about it.

"There is no one dominant in Jianghu. You should know this. That's why the second Broken Silver Valley that can compete with it was born. They found you. You should understand this force."

Zheng Nian nodded, "I understand. Master means that Chen Heng joined the Broken Silver Valley."

"That's right, he needs to break free from the control of An Wenyue and Liu Zhishan, so as to escape into the Broken Silver Valley. Dali Temple has already dug up Chen Heng's tomb, and the person inside is not Chen Heng, but..."

"The scholar who plays the piano." Zheng Nian said.

"Yes." Wu Siyan said calmly, "You told me that Chen Xuan'er married you because of a letter from Chen Heng. We don't know what was written in the letter. But I can conclude that Chen Xuan'er I don't know what's inside."

Zheng Nian agrees with this point, he knows Chen Xuan'er's character, if she knows about this, then the scene of committing suicide in the carriage will not happen.

"So the people from Broken Silver Valley asked me to join because of Chen Heng, and he didn't reveal his identity because Chen Xuan'er didn't know about it." Zheng Nian nodded.

"You agree?" Wu Siyan asked.

"No." Zheng Nian smiled, "I'm not a rebellious person."

"So whether you will die now or not depends only on whether you love Chen Xuan'er or not." Wu Siyan said.

"Zhao Yishan is from Broken Silver Valley." Zheng Nian said slowly, "What about Elder Ying and Grandma Huang?"

"Can't find out." Wu Siyan said, "Jiang Ye didn't find out either. These two people are hiding very deeply. That's why many people in the capital who were staring at Chen Xuan'er for the time being didn't take action."

"So that's how it is..." Zheng Nian grinned, "So in fact, Gong Yu was an abandoned child from a very early age."

Wu Siyan narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"The Temple of Good and Evil has three masters in charge. After Jiang Ye failed in his first attempt, An Wenyue would not be ignorant of the situation in the Temple of Good and Evil. But even so, Gong Yu still dared to do so."

Zheng Nian said, "Thinking about it now, I'm afraid he is an abandoned son. It is an exchange like Chen Heng and the garrison general."

"But...who is it exchanged for?" Wu Siyan was puzzled.

"Prince Qing's son, Li Qingchen." Zheng Nian murmured.

Wu Siyan was startled suddenly, "Li Qingchen?"

"The news of Li Qingchen's fake death is sealed. Assuming Li Qingchen is dead, then after Liu Zhishan learns about it, he will definitely take action to get rid of a person who wants to pay the price, so..."

Zheng Nian slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, "I achieved my goal."

"For what purpose?"

"A father, seeing his son kidnapped and confirming who kidnapped his son, will he compromise?" Zheng Nian asked.

"What do you mean, An Wenyue is wooing King Qing into the gang? And the princess is also An Wenyue's?"

Wu Siyan looked at Zheng Nian in shock, and after thinking for a while, "Prince Qing is not stupid, just go and report to His Majesty..."

"As long as King Qing dares to say it, the son will die, and nothing will happen to An Wenyue. Don't forget, even King Zhennan dares to move."

Zheng Nian said, "King Qing himself knows that he entered the Taihe Hall and filed a complaint. No matter what, it is impossible for him to leave Xuanwumen."

"Everyone in the capital knows that King Qing loves his son. Even if the son is crazy and stupid, he will give him a lot of money to squander. King Qing can tell which is more important."

Zheng Nian grinned and said, "King Qing must have an irreplaceable reason for An Wenyue to choose to control him."

"King Qing... controls some Jianghu Taoist sects." Wu Siyan said.

"That's right." Zheng Nian said, "An Wenyue needs to have a force outside the court that can compete with the Jinyu Tower. This is the reason why King Qing must live."

"Then why did Gong Yu die?" Wu Siyan nodded slowly.

"Because of me." Zheng Nian said.

"You? An Wenyue gave up a Gong Yu to gain King Qing's power in Jianghu, but you said that Liu Zhishan gave up a Prince Qing's son for you?" Wu Siyan couldn't understand.

"It's not for me, but because of me, he knows who is behind me." Zheng Nian opened his eyes and looked at Wu Siyan.

"He replaced it with Dali Temple Shaoqing, Master, you."

"It's appropriate for King Qing to change the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It's appropriate for the power of the rivers and lakes to change the court hall of Dali Temple."

Zheng Nian said, "So this is why even though An Wenyue knew who killed Gong Yu, he didn't continue to be serious. He has already made Gong Yu an abandoned son. If he continues to pester Liu Zhishan, he will force Liu Zhishan to take any action. An Wenyue Months will not benefit."

Master tricks, point to the end.

Above the court, inside and outside the rivers and lakes, are all chess pieces.

Two chess players, the choice is between consideration, no one gains an inch, no one suffers a dull loss.

Winning or losing is only a matter of millimeters.

One step at a time, breaking the rules, the one who died may be himself.
