Chapter 821 Longtu, I lost!

March is sunny and spring, the weather is getting warmer, and the flowers are blooming. This is a good season. In previous years, ordinary farmers in Chengdu City were busy with their livelihoods for the coming year. Aristocratic families, rich households and country gentry were thinking about going there for a spring outing.

But the current Chengdu City is shrouded in a tense atmosphere, as if it is always on guard against the coming of killing.

Fighting in the city, the scope of the disaster level is too large.

During the war, the soldiers were all red-eyed, they couldn't tell the enemy, they couldn't tell the friends, and they couldn't tell who was innocent. Among them, they were implicated, and their families were destroyed.

Therefore, at this time, the people of the whole city were in an atmosphere of unease.

Not that no one wants to escape.

Escape from this Shura hell.

But in the current city of Chengdu, not to mention the city gate, maybe even a street is a bit impassable.

A city has been occupied by various troops, and it has been divided into several parts. In the southeast and northwest, the areas are separated, and even a main street can be cut off from the middle, and the two sides camped against each other. That side, because they didn't even figure it out.

Under such an atmosphere, the common people were waiting tremblingly.

In the eyes of Mu Jing and Liu Yan, this game of chess has reached a fever pitch, and will soon reach a stage where the winner can be determined.

In late March, Mu Jing had been trapped in the courtyard for more than twenty days.

Liu Yan seemed to have completely forgotten about him, he was not summoned, and he was not tortured. Except for everything in life and the strict defense of the soldiers around him, there was no change with him in the mansion.

He is also happy and quiet.

There is always an old man who says that he can't read in peace. He is now learning to read in peace. First read the Analects, and then read Zhongyong. Every day in this courtyard, the sound of Lang Lang's reading can be heard from inside.

Of course, this is useless, Mu Jing's thought has matured, and children who grew up under the red flag have learned mathematics, physics and chemistry, and have broadened their horizons, so naturally they will not fall headlong into the restricted thinking of Confucianism.

So what other people learn by reading is Confucianism, and what he reads is just to make himself better.

At this time, he had nothing else to do except study quietly.

In fact, it was quiet, rather it was Mu Jing who was forcing himself to calm down. In such a situation, he was not a god, he couldn't count the victory or defeat, and his heart was burning with anxiety. How could he sit still? He was also waiting in panic.

But he is very clear that there should be no chaos at this time, because neither chaos nor chaos can change the situation outside.

The chess game has been opened, if you win, you lose.

What should be done, he has already done, the outcome depends on the final destiny.

Want to win Tianbanzi.

You have to bear the loneliness like snow.

He is gambling!
Gambling on fate is also gambling on luck, let's see whether it is Liu Yan's fate or his own luck is stronger.

The two sides are in a faceless confrontation.

First of all, it was Liu Yan who couldn't help it. On this day, Liu Yan finally remembered that there was another Mu Jing who was his prisoner. He asked people to mention Mu Jing to the lobby. The bustling and noisy lobby of the state pastoral mansion was empty. Yes, only Liu Yan was alone, kneeling and sitting on the upper seat.

"I belong to the right chief of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and I pay my respects to the lord!"

Mu Jing entered and bowed to salute.

"Mulongtu, you are amazing!"

Liu Yan raised his head and took a slight look at Mujing: "In such a situation, no matter whether you win or lose outside, at least your life and death are in my hands, and you can still hold on. I have some admiration, but it's not an accident. Entering the game with your own body, you did it, but you and I have already torn our skins, and the fight is imminent, but you can still salute in a serious manner, without losing the etiquette, and you have everything, which really surprised me a little bit!"

"My lord is saying that I have a thick skin, I admit it!"

After Mu Jing saluted, he raised his head and looked at Liu Yan. Liu Yan was old, and his vigorous spirit seemed to have disappeared, leaving only old, pale complexion and white hair on his temples. Overgrown.

He sighed, and said softly: "The thin-skinned people all died and survived, so that one is not a shameless person!"

"You told the truth!"

Liu Yan's eyes flashed brightly: "In today's troubled times, who doesn't want to be the overlord, who doesn't want to compete in the Central Plains, the Ninth Five-Year King, but in the end there are a few people who can survive. In fact, everyone is just looking for a way to survive. I blocked your way of life, so it's only right for you to plot against me!"

"This is a chess game, winning or losing depends on destiny!"

"The lord summoned a certain person today, I'm afraid it's the news from the outside, and it has already come back!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Let me guess, the lord's soldiers will not be able to come back!"

"Someone, I really admire your method!"

Liu Yan did not deny it, he stared at the pastoral scene, and said softly: "You can block Yan Yan, this point, I have already prepared, after all, Xi Zhi was the one who sent me to Berkshire personally, his ability, I never underestimate it, so Yan Yan won't be able to come back in a short time, but Zhang Ren..."

His fists were clenched suddenly: "It's really unexpected that you can join hands with Jingzhou!"

"I seek Yizhou, Jingzhou can be used as a bargaining chip!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "I'm not greedy, so I only want Yizhou!"

Now that things have come to this point, it's time for them to be honest with each other.

Mujing has made so many preparations, but he didn't want to take Yizhou by force. A destroyed Yizhou is not what he wants. What he wants is a complete Yizhou, which is why there are so many twists and turns. planning.

"Sure enough, you are the one who can control your greed, you are the one who can accomplish great things!"

Liu Yan said in praise.

He let out a long sigh, and the last bit of unwillingness seemed to dissipate in the sigh. After a while, he continued to speak quietly, and uttered five words: "Longtu, I lost!"

"The Liu Yan I know, Liu Junlang, is not someone who gives up easily!"

Mu Jing was silent for a while, fixed his eyes on Liu Yan, and said softly.

He thought that Liu Yan would lose, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to admit defeat so easily, which made him puzzled. The easier things to get, the more disturbing he was, and he couldn't understand Liu Yan.

"What are you trying to do? I know in my heart that you dare to enter the game with your body because you think you have caught my weakness, so that I dare not kill you!" Liu Yan stood up, walked in front of Mujing, and put his hands together. With a burden on his back, he looked at the blue sky outside: "My weakness is nothing more than my sons and daughters, none of whom are talented under my knees, the eldest son and the second son are outside, once the news of Yizhou becoming emperor spreads, they will die at the hands of the court, only the youngest son is by my side I dare to bet on myself, but how dare I bet on his life, he is still young!"

"In addition, I lost, and I was convinced that I lost, but I didn't lose to you. I lost to the sky, and it's the sky that loses me!"

With a voice of resentment, Liu Yan called out to the sky.

He didn't want to throw in the towel, but his time was numbered.

March [-]rd, the day of enthronement, when the army was defeated, resentful and angry, back sores broke out, and he was in a coma for several days. After the doctor made a diagnosis and issued a notice, he could not live for more than three months.

This is why he conceded defeat.

He can't let himself bet on Liu Zhang's life for the rest of his life. If he admits defeat, he can get Liu Zhang's life. Even he knows that once he dies, Liu Zhang will most likely be wiped out.

Of course, even if there is only a slight chance of life, he still needs to gamble.

This is his duty as a father.
