Stunning weapon

() Yan State, Youzhou City.

Mei Shichang sat in front of the desk with a sad face.Looking at the chess game in front of him, he picked up the chess piece in his hand, but he didn't move it for a long time.

The thin old man sitting in front of him saw it in his eyes, and said softly: "Since your lord is not in the mood to play chess, why did you let the old man play chess with you? Isn't it just asking for trouble?"

Mei Shichang sighed softly, put the chess pieces back into the chess box, shook his head, and said, "It's not because of inadvertence, but this step is too difficult to take." . .

"Your Excellency knows that it is difficult to move, so why not let others go, even if Your Excellency wins, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to Your Excellency, because, up to now, this chess game is no longer an adult's chess game. The chessboard belongs to others, and the chess pieces should also Wouldn't it be troublesome for me to let others play and adults participate?" The skinny old man also put the chess pieces in the chess box, as if he was not talking to Mei Shichang, and said while looking at the chessboard.

Mei Shichang looked at him, then moved his eyes to the roof, thought for a moment, and said: "It doesn't matter who will take over this chessboard, and who owns this chess game at this moment. But you and I are both a piece of this chess game." Chess piece, if you don’t fight for it, how can you save the chess piece once you lose the game?”

"Actually, I have always felt that your lord is too worried. If your lord followed Situ Qing's example and went away to the barbarians, and only concentrated on one thing, I'm afraid you wouldn't be in such a dilemma?" The skinny old man shook his head and sighed. .

"Hehe..." Mei Shichang smiled, and said, "After all, I am not as free and easy as Situ Qing. He can walk without sloppiness, and even entrusts his son and daughter to Tian Ding. How can he be this free and easy?" An ordinary person like Mei can do it. I have never admired Situ Qing before, but this time, I really admire him a little bit." . .

"My lord is not like this." The skinny old man said softly: "My lord's daughter is not living in Xiliang at this moment. If my lord didn't have such awareness at the beginning, it wouldn't be the current situation."

When Mei Shichang thought of Mei Xiaowan, a trace of pain flashed across his face, then he shook his head and said: "I am different from Situ Qing, I was forcibly taken away by the emperor, and I had no choice. I also knew that Situ Qing would definitely not watch them die in Los Angeles, so I let them go. However, things developed like this later, but I couldn't think of it. It is useless to think about it now, as long as I know that she is very Alright, that's enough. As for me, I'm destined to be a chess piece that the emperor puts in the dark, and I'll always hide in the dark."

The skinny old man looked at Mei Shichang, wanted to say something, but finally shook his head, but couldn't say anything.

Mei Shichang said again: "Although this Fang Xin is a profile, he is indeed a character."

The skinny old man nodded, and said: "That's natural. The family was inconspicuous among the aristocratic families decades ago, but while the emperor was cleaning up the aristocratic families, Fang Xin not only kept the Fang family, but also developed the Fang family to the right level. The situation suppressed by the other two aristocratic families can be seen. How can ordinary people do this."

Mei Shichang nodded, and said: "It's just that recently he's just been diligent in government affairs, and he doesn't seem to care about power. However, Fang Xin didn't make a sound, but he was well-mannered, I don't know what he was thinking."

"What Fang Xin is thinking, we may not be able to guess, but he sent someone to inform the third prince Mo Xiaochuan's whereabouts, but we don't know why. If his people bring Mo Xiaochuan back, his Fang family will definitely be reused by the emperor. At that time, it will be so difficult to recruit an extra eunuch, this is what makes the old man most strange." The skinny old man said again.

Mei Shichang nodded thoughtfully, and said: "That's the point, I really can't figure it out. Is there any news from the people we sent out?"

"Not yet." The skinny old man shook his head and said, "We got the news later than they did. The people we sent out probably won't be able to bring back the news until later."

"En!" Mei Shichang nodded.Nothing more to say.

At this moment, in Prince Yi's mansion, Ye Yi was chatting with Mu Guang. Mu Guang's health has improved a lot. This is also inseparable from Ye Yi's later change of mind and finding someone to treat him more frequently.

The two sat left and right.

Ye Yi is on the left and Mu Guang is on the right.

Although, there is no such thing as guest and host at this moment, the left is respected, and the right is inferior.However, for Ye Yi to treat Mu Guang like this, in terms of etiquette, it is already considered kind.

Mu Guang was also very grateful, and there were some wine and vegetables on the table.

Mu Guang's body hadn't fully recovered, and he was not fit to drink alcohol, so Ye Yi didn't persuade him to drink, but just drank alone, while a concubine poured wine for him.

Ye Yi looked at Mu Guang, took a sip, and said, "What does Mr. Mu think of the arrest of Mo Xiaochuan this time?"

"It may not be possible to catch it back." Mo Xiaochuan said directly.

"Oh?" Ye Yizheng put down the wine bottle he was holding up, raised his head strangely, looked at Mu Guang, and asked, "Why did Mr. Mu say that?"

"The old man has worked with Mo Xiaochuan for a period of time, and he also knows his nature and martial arts. Although Mo Xiaochuan is young, he is extremely experienced in doing things, and his martial arts are extremely high. The prince sent The person who goes there is probably not his opponent. Moreover, he must be very careful about running for his life at this moment. If we continue to chase like this, I am afraid there will be no results."

"Isn't he already seriously injured?" Ye Yi said with a smile.

"This is just hearsay, and no one has seen it with their own eyes." Mu Guang said.

"This is what Yemen Master said, could it be false?" Ye Yi asked strangely.

Mu Guang smiled, and said: "Of course the master of the Yemen will not lie, but some people in the Yemen will inevitably exaggerate. They said that Mo Xiaochuan could stand with the master of the Yemen for more than a hundred rounds. On this point, my lord Do you believe it?"

Ye Yi frowned suddenly, raised his head, looked at Mu Guang, and said, "Mr. Mu is saying that people from Yemen are spreading rumors?"

"Whether it's just spreading rumors or not, it's hard to make a conclusion now." Mu Guang stroked his beard and said, "However, the prince must have seen Mo Xiaochuan's martial arts before. That day, when he rescued the prince, the prince also Seeing it with your own eyes, do you think he is a master of heaven?"

Ye Yi thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "If he is a master of the way of heaven, Liu Suizhu would not die so easily that day."

Mu Guang nodded, and said: "That's it. Since he is not a master of heaven, how can he fight Yemen for more than ten rounds?"

Ye Yi took a breath and didn't speak.

Mu Guang continued, "So, the old man thinks that these are just big lies told by people in Yemen who don't want to announce a fact to the public."

"What fact?" Ye Yi couldn't help asking.

"The collapse of the imperial palace." Mu Guang said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"It's not easy." Mu Guang lowered his voice and said, "My lord, you will know if you think about it carefully, but the old man is also guessing that the collapse of the palace must be caused by the master of Yemen, but the reason is unknown. Yes. However, more than half of the palace was destroyed, this matter, even Yemen master can't explain it, so, we must find a scapegoat. At this time, Mo Xiaochuan is the most suitable."

"This?" Ye Yi was a little suspicious.

Mu Guang said again: "Prince, you think, then Mo Xiaochuan was originally in the Qihua Tower. How could he suddenly disappear and appear inside Yemen? Outside the Qihua Tower, he was heavily besieged by the forbidden army. If he goes out, can he turn into a fly or a mosquito and fly out?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Yi listened to what Mu Guang said, the more he said, the more startled he became, but he couldn't help asking.

Mu Guang smiled and continued, "Actually, it's not difficult to explain. Mo Xiaochuan must have been picked up by someone, thrown out of the city, and then hunted down. He is from Xiliang, Having been charged with such a crime, there is no way to justify it, and he can only run for his life. Once he escapes like this, the crime will be confirmed, and it is impossible to get rid of it."

After hearing this, Ye Yi nodded in agreement, and said, "Mr. Mu's words are reasonable."

"Master Yemen chased him out to kill people. Moreover, Lord Yemen easily wounded Mo Xiaochuan outside the city. If he hadn't thought that Liu Jingting from Xiliang would come to rescue Mo Xiaochuan, I'm afraid, Mo Xiaochuan is already dead at this moment."

"Then why did he let Ye Xin go after Mo Xiaochuan? Didn't he know that Ye Xin's martial arts were not as good as Mo Xiaochuan?" Ye Yi asked suspiciously.

"This is a better explanation." Mu Guang said: "Master Yemen only thought that Mo Xiaochuan had already been injured, so there would be no further incidents, and Princess Ye Xin brought so many Yemen disciples to chase him, how could it be possible? The reason for not killing Mo Xiaochuan. It’s just that Mo Xiaochuan’s injuries were not so serious somehow, so he took him away. This is the situation now.”

Ye Yi nodded, but did not speak.

Mu Guang said again: "At this moment, people in Yemen are also going to the northwest when chasing Mo Xiaochuan. With Yemen master's ingenuity, how could he not have thought that Mo Xiaochuan would go from the south. The old man thinks that this is the intention of Yemen master. Don't chase Mo Xiaochuan, so that we or other people can do it. In this way, Mo Xiaochuan will not die in the hands of Yemen. The master of Yemen will not form a personal enmity with the Xiliang royal family. Otherwise, Wan Mo Zhiyuan was eager for revenge and sent the two masters of heaven in Xiliang to take revenge, even Master Ye should not be able to withstand the siege of two masters of heaven."

"What Mr. Mu said is true." Ye Yi nodded, and then asked again: "So, Mr. Mu thinks, should we call back the people who were sent to chase Mo Xiaochuan?"

Mu Guang thought about it, shook his head and said: "No need, let's not talk about the people who are sent now, they may not be able to find Mo Xiaochuan, even if they can be found, they may not be as fast as Fang Xin's people, and even if Fang Xin wants to get out, If his people don't do anything, our people may not be able to kill Mo Xiaochuan. If we pull people back now, it seems that we want to stay out of the matter. This is to let the emperor know, which is not good for the prince."

Ye Yi nodded again, and said, "Mr. Mu is right."

Mu Guang said again: "However, this is based on the situation that the prince wants to seek stability. If the prince wants to take risks, it is another way."

"What kind of adventure?" Ye Yi asked. ,

"If the lord wants to impress the emperor, he can send more people, or even go there himself to kill Mo Xiaochuan. As long as Mo Xiaochuan dies in the hands of the lord, the lord, compared with the current prince who has no achievements, is in the hands of the emperor. There must be a difference in my heart. Then, when the time comes, the prince will be one step closer to inheriting the throne." Mu Guang said, frowning, and said: "However, if you do this, it will be easy to draw Xiliang's anger to On the body of the prince. At that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to handle. If a master of heaven finds it, the prince will need to ask the master of Yemen..."

Ye Yi nodded again, and said: "Let me think about it, there is no rush to decide on this matter." After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

The concubine beside him also followed her out.

Mu Guang got up and sent him off.

When he came to the door, when Ye Yi was about to leave, Mu Guang gently tugged at his sleeve. Ye Yi turned around in surprise, took a look at Mu Guang, then nodded slightly, turned and left.

Mu Guang watched Ye Yi leave, frowning tightly, with a worried look on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Ye Yi returned again and came to Mu Guang's side, saying: "Just now, did Mr. Mu have any scruples, what is it not convenient to say? Why did you let me come back? Now there is no one else, Mr. Mu can speak. "

Mu Guang nodded, and said: "My lord, I think this concubine of my lord doesn't seem to be in the same heart with my lord..."

"Oh?" Ye Yi asked in surprise, "How did you see that?"

Mu Guang shook his head slightly, and said: "Ordinary people, when they hear me talking about these things with the prince, they should avoid suspicion, but she has been by the side and has not left. Moreover, I also noticed that every time I spoke, she was very special. Pay attention to the prince's reaction."

Ye Yi smiled, and said: "Mr. Mu really has good eyesight. This king already knew that she is from Mei Shichang's side."

"Oh?" Mu Guang asked in surprise, "Your Highness already knew?"

Ye Yi nodded, and said: "She is from Mei Shichang, that is, from my father. It must be useful to keep her by my side. Therefore, this king has always pretended not to know, but sometimes, not It’s time to let her know and avoid her for a while, that’s all.”

"In that case, then, what did you say just now?" Mu Guang asked suspiciously.

"Just now, on the one hand, this king didn't expect Mr. Mu to say such amazing words, and on the other hand, even if he overhears it, it doesn't matter." Ye Yi said.

"So, the lord wants her to pass this news to the emperor?" Mu Guang wondered.

"Exactly." Ye Yi smiled and said, "Although Ye Zhanyun has never participated in the competition between the three of us brothers for the reserve position, I have always known that he is inclined to be with Ye Bo. This time, regardless of Mr. Mu's analysis Whether it is right or wrong, it is not harmful to us to let the emperor be on guard against him. Therefore, it is in my mind to let the emperor know..."

"My lord is brilliant. I am ashamed of myself." Mu Guang shook his head and said.

"This is Mr. Mu's unique insight." Ye Yi said with a smile.

"My lord loves you." Mu Guang saluted, and said repeatedly: "Ashamed, ashamed!"

"It's getting late, Mr. Mu rests. Mr. Mu's words are not unreasonable. I still need to think carefully before deciding what to do." Ye Yi said, turned and strode away.

Behind him, Mu Guang bowed deeply, staring at Ye Yi with a pensive look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Ye Yi returned to his room, he heard a woman's voice as soon as he entered the door, saying: "Are you really going to intervene in this matter?"

When Ye Yi heard the voice, his vigilant face relaxed a little. On the chair by the table in the room, the person sitting on the chair had a stunning face, even at this moment with a serious face, it really overwhelmed him. Many beauties in this world are none other than Xia Chuyue who hasn't appeared for a long time.

Seeing Xia Chuyue, Ye Yi patted his chest exaggeratedly, and said: "I thought who it was, it turned out to be my aunt. I was scared to death. Since my aunt is here, why don't you let someone let me know, so I can entertain my aunt, right?" .”

At this moment, Xia Chuyue's face no longer had a hint of coquettishness, she stared at Ye Yi seriously, and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Ah, why is my aunt so serious?" Ye Yi smiled and said, "My aunt's question is so vague that I don't know what it is and how to answer it."

"Don't play dumb with me." Xia Chuyue frowned and said, "You know what I'm talking about."

"Auntie is talking about chasing and killing Mo Xiaochuan?" Ye Yi said with a smile.

Xia Chuyue nodded, but did not speak.

Ye Yi said: "I haven't thought about this matter yet, and it won't be too late to answer my aunt after I think about it."

"You sent my disciple of Meimen to hunt down Mo Xiaochuan privately, and pretend I don't know?" Xia Chuyue frowned.

Ye Yi shook his head, and said: "This is what my aunt said. I didn't secretly use the disciples of Meimen. Aren't those two people sent by my aunt to protect me? I just asked them to chase Mo Xiaochuan for fun. It's just appearance, you know, Mo Xiaochuan's martial arts are very high, depending on them, they may not be able to kill Mo Xiaochuan."

Xia Chuyue stared at Ye Yi, as if she wanted to see from his face whether he was telling the truth.However, Ye Yi smiled calmly, and couldn't tell anything. After watching for a while, Xia Chuyue was a little disappointed, she looked away, and said: "This is the best. Let me tell you, about Mo Xiaochuan You'd better not make any decisions about life and death."

"Everything is arranged by my aunt." Ye Yi said with a smile.

"That's it. I'm leaving." After Xia Chuyue finished speaking, she stood up and walked out the door.After going out, I saw several women jumping down from the roof and following behind Xia Chuyue.

Watching Xia Chuyue go away, Ye Yi laughed along behind him and said, "Auntie, go slowly..."

Xia Chuyue ignored him.

Seeing Xia Chuyue go away, Ye Yi turned his head, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he lowered his face, closed the door slowly, clenched his fists, and said to himself: "Stinky mother!" Guys, let's take care of my business. I don't know what kind of soup this kid Mo Xiaochuan gave her... Since you don't want Mo Xiaochuan to die, I just want him to die. Let's see what you can... Hehe... ..."

After all, Ye Yi seemed to have lost a lot of anger, and a smile appeared on his face again...
