So I play chess

Chapter 50
Because of the imperial edict of Ling Guangjun, one of the two sages of Southern Chu, Xu Zhongyan, Xu Sanlang, a student of Qianlong County, Tongcheng, had a lot of talk in the Zhaohua Hall of Lianzhou, the capital of Southern Chu.

In Lianzhou City, a cloud moved, and winds spread across the surrounding areas.

This biggest gust of wind blows alone to Tongcheng, a small border town [-] miles northwest of Lianzhou.

In Tongcheng, Wen Gu, the daughter of General Wen Zong of Liangzhou, stepped forward in times of crisis. The soldiers acted dangerously and secretly hid six thousand soldiers of the Liangzhou Army in Tongcheng.

Among them, Liu Zhu, the prefect, was only an alliance of advance and retreat, but he did not return to his heart.

There are also big families in the city, either connected to the northern Yu, or connected to the southern Chu.

Wei Jinwan of Nvxian County, Qianlong County under the rule of Tongcheng, because of the tragic death of his friend Li Xun, attributed the culprit to Wen Gu's subordinate Zhou Tong, who was the commander of the capital, and was looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

These three are internal worries.

In addition, a man who claimed to be "Tang Mingming" led a group of people into Tongcheng and was temporarily detained in a courtyard behind the government office. His true identity and purpose are still unknown.

At the same time, another group of 24 strong men came from the direction of Dingyi County in Southern Chu and were wandering outside the city.Dingyi County is the territory of Dingyiji Chuyang Pass, and this group of people is afraid that they came from bad manners.

But Wen Gu used tricks to obtain Tongcheng under the guise of Liu Zhu, the prefect of Tongcheng. According to common sense, the Southern Chu court showed Liu's merits, and they might send people to Tongcheng to inquire carefully in the near future.This matter is like a sword hanging on the neck, and it is not known when it will end.

These three are external troubles.

At the same time, the young hero Nan Yijian Cheng Wangshu was ordered by Feng Xian'er, the noble concubine of Southern Chu, to escort Xu Zhongyan back to Qianlong County. The difficulties during the journey are unknown.

As for the real murderer's plan behind killing Li Xun and luring Jin Wan to seek revenge on Wen Gu and others, it is difficult to guess for a while.

The place of Tongcheng is not dangerous, but now it is at the forefront of the storm by various forces.

There are many parties involved, and any slight movement in Tongcheng is related to the survival of the six thousand Liangzhou Army.

Seven or eight days have passed since Zhou Tong entered the barracks, Wen Liang guarded "Tang Mingming", and Wen Gu dismissed the guards.

Jin Wan didn't show up, and Tang Mingming lived safely in the courtyard arranged for him. The group of strong men outside the city still had no intention of entering the city. The big clans in Tongcheng also died down.

Only the other courtyard where Wen Gu lives is still lively today.

"A little to the left. Be careful not to loosen it."

Zhixia stood outside the door, directing several servants to lift the forehead to the main entrance of the other courtyard.

There are gold characters on a black background on the front of the door, and the three big characters of "Do not lose your home" are written in flamboyant patterns.

It was Jin Wan who reminded her.

Since she found a new identity, others have been calling her "Aunt Taishou" or "Old Lady Liu".But to come to her mansion, it sounds even more troublesome to type. After all, the word "prefect" is eye-catching, and "Mrs. Liu" is not the only one in Tongcheng.Others asked if it was inconvenient.

Because he still wants to be "relatives" with Liu Zhu, it is absolutely impossible to use "Wen's Mansion".

Wen Gu thought in her heart that she had more opportunities than others, but she didn't want to let her waste them, so she wanted to use "the opportunity must not be missed" as the reason for her living in Tongcheng, and it was also a reminder to herself from time to time.

She briefly discussed this idea with Zhixia, but she only said that every step after that would be difficult, and she must not miss this opportunity.

Zhixia immediately came up with a name, since "the opportunity must not be lost, never come again", the first half of the sentence is okay, but the second half of the sentence does not sound so pleasant to the ear, so it is better to call it "Zailaiju", which is also a good omen.

Wen Gu laughed for a while after hearing this, thinking to herself that this name fits her situation, but it always feels unserious when she hears it.

That's right, Zhixia had a history of naming things like "Quanyu wonton", so she must not be able to find her for this errand.

That being the case, Wen Gu figured out the word "not lost" by himself, and asked the prefect Liu Zhu to inscribe the word with his own hands in his busy schedule, and made a gate, hanging above the "not lost".

Zhixia in the front yard was busy, but in the back, Li Mao came over in person.

Li Mao filled the vacancy in the prefect's book for the past two days. He already has the ability to dress in whatever way he looks like. Now he is dressed in an official uniform, which has a bit of proper prestige.

It's just that the matter is urgent at this time, and the words are straightforward: "Miss, just now a person was stopped at the south gate, calling himself Xu Zhongyan, but he fainted without saying a few words."

Wen Gu leaned on the front of the seat, and was still a little sleepy, but he became sober because of this sentence: "Xu Zhongyan? Is he alone?"

Li Mao replied: "Exactly, there are still blood stains on his body, it looks like he has fought several times along the way."

Wen Gu nodded, seeming to understand, but his brows were still frowning: "I haven't heard from him since scolding the palace. I thought he was detained in Lianzhou, but he came back? I'm afraid the journey will not be easy. "

Li Maodao: "The medical officer checked him briefly. There are many wounds, but none of them are fatal."

"He is a scholar, and he will definitely not come back alone. The person who sent him must be in bad luck." Wen Gu said, and simply got up from the couch, "Tongcheng can't keep him. No matter whether he has an accident or not, Nanchu will send him People come to investigate or arrest, these people cannot live in Tongcheng. Send some people back to Qianlong County, so that the county magistrate can also identify it clearly."

Li Mao said yes, so he took the order, and was about to say something else, but Wen Gu said again: "You can't let him go back by himself, let Uncle Wen send it, send it secretly, don't show any traces, you must let him come back alive." Qianlong County."

Li Mao responded, and said again: "Miss, I was going to talk about Yuhou's side. As soon as Xu Zhongyan appeared at the gate of the city, Tang Mingming and those people moved."

Wen Gu asked, "Where are you going?"

"My people were outside to meet Marquis Yu, so I got the news. Except for Tang Mingming, 11 people moved separately, and I don't know which one is the target." After Li Mao finished speaking, he paused, and then said, "In addition , 24 people outside the city, originally resting in the forest outside the city, we have been watching from a distance, did not dare to approach, but today we found twelve people missing."

After Li Mao finished speaking, Wen Gu didn't answer right away.

It seems that these people are all coming towards Xu Zhongyan.

"Don't let Uncle Wen go, find some reliable deliverers, cover it up, and set off as soon as possible."

Li Mao naturally knew how to pretend to be fake, so he said goodbye and went out after saluting. When he went out, he happened to meet Zhixia face to face.

Zhixia entered the room briskly: "Miss, the door is hung up, do you want to go and have a look?"

But I heard Wen Gu say: "Don't worry about the gate, you can go to Qianlong County for me."

Wen Gu explained the matter briefly, and said a few harsh words before Zhi Xia was willing to leave her side temporarily.

After everyone left, there was nothing else to do.

At night, Wen Gu was troubled by something in his heart, and he would not go to sleep until midnight.These days I have had no dreams for a long time, but tonight I had a dream.

In the dream, Tongcheng of Liangzhou was connected to one place, with swords and soldiers in front of his eyes, and the sound of gold in his ears.All kinds of chaos gathered in one place, and I felt cold sweat soaking my whole body.

Then everything faded away, and I felt that I was in the vast darkness, and I couldn't tell the way behind my eyes.

Suddenly heard a "boom".He heard Xia Huan's own voice again.

Wen Gu woke up in a daze, only to find himself sleeping on the carriage.Before he was fully awake, he followed Zhixia out of the car.

In front of him, he saw Li Mao walking up quickly, saying:

"Miss, Lianzhou urgent report!"
