Chapter 52
Everyone followed the sound, but they saw the door of the private room opened, and the first person who walked in was a young man dressed in red. How eye-catching, it is none other than Xie Yuanbao's second brother, Xie Yizhi.

"Second brother, why are you here?" Xie Yuanbao exclaimed in surprise, and immediately after, he saw two people behind Xie Yizhi, two people that no one expected.

One is Xiao Que with a cold face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the other is Ning Wan who is dressed in plain clothes and is talented in the competition. When did they know each other, and it is not about the relationship between Xie Yizhi and Xiao Que. Isn't it great?Could it be that the rumors are true?A trace of doubt flashed in Fu Yunshu's eyes.

Xie Yizhi on the one side was not polite, and after letting the two sit down, he poured himself a pot of tea and said, "After the competition is over, the emperor asked me to walk around more with Mr. Yuyan, so I thought about taking Mr. Yuyan to Xiangsi Pavilion was an eye-opener, but Mr. Yuyan refused to go, so I had no choice but to bring him to Taibai Residence for lunch. When I arrived at Taibai Residence, I saw the carriage in our residence and came up to say hello .”

After hearing Xie Yizhi's words, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and they took Xiao Que to the brothel. Thanks to Xie Yizhi's ability to figure it out, Fu Yunshu couldn't help thinking that if someone like Xiao Que went to the brothel, he wouldn't know that he was the one who took advantage of those girls. It was those girls who took advantage of Xiao Que.

When thinking of this, Fu Yunshu couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and suddenly felt a chill in his body, but seeing Xiao Que's cold eyes falling on her body, Fu Yunshu was startled, and quickly suppressed his smile.

"Hmph, shameless, do you think that everyone likes to go to places like brothels like you bastard." Chang Le was talking and laughing with the two of them just now, but when he saw Xie Yizhi, he was like a cat whose fur had exploded, coldly Said with a mocking face.

After Xie Yizhi heard Chang Le's words, he raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to fight back against Chang Le. Fu Yunshu, who was on the side, saw that the two seemed to be quarreling again, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Ning Wan who was sitting on the side: "How can Miss Ning Will be here."

Ning Wan's appearance is a typical Jiangnan girl, small and exquisite, with gentle eyebrows, but she saw Ning Wan with a gentle smile and said: "This Taibai Residence is originally my family's business. We were invited together."

I have long heard that the Ning family's business is spread all over the world, but I didn't expect that the famous Taibai Residence in the capital is also the business of the Ning family. Fu Yunshu and the others were silent. This Ning family is so rich.

Although Ning Wan's appearance belongs to the gentle type, but her personality is not a delicate and artificial woman, she said with a smile: "It is fate to meet each other, thank you Miss Fu for helping us out, this time I will be the host, everyone just order food .”

Xie Yizhi was really not polite to Ning Wan, and said with a smile: "In that case, then I will not be polite."

Here, Xie Yuanbao has a gossip character again, and Fu Yunshu whispered about Ning Wan: "Have you heard that this time, Miss Ning came to the capital to choose a husband and son-in-law."

Fu Yunshu was slightly surprised, and asked: "Although the Ning family is a merchant, it belongs to the imperial merchant. The only daughter of the Ning family must be the one that many people want to cling to."

Xie Yuanbao said in a low voice: "Although the conditions are not bad, but he is almost 20 years old, do you think the master of the Ning family can not be in a hurry."

A few people chatted and laughed, Xie Yizhi spoke humorously, and they knew each other, so they quickly chatted together. Of course, Xiao Que was not included among these few people. His face was there, and he didn't know whether he was in a daze or what he was doing.

After several people were seated, Xie Yuanbao took Changle's hand and asked the question just now: "Sister Changle, is Second Brother right?"

Changle nodded, first glaring at Xie Yizhi, very dissatisfied that Xie Yizhi stole his limelight, and then said: "It's this person. It is said that the king of Huang Kingdom loved playing chess most, and he was obsessed with the study of chess. State affairs, so Gong Ziling hates playing chess very much, a gentleman has six skills, Gong Ziling is proficient in all of them, except chess, which is not at all."

"Who would have thought that Su Cheng, the player of the Xi Kingdom, would be on an envoy to the Huang Kingdom. At that time, the ruler of the Huang Kingdom would treat him like a guest, and let the domestic chess masters compete with Su Cheng. There is no one in the country, Su Cheng is very proud and arrogant, Gong Ziling couldn't stand it anymore, so he played against Su Cheng for three rounds, and the result was three games and three victories." Chang Le said, taking a sip of tea.

At this time, Xie Yizhi said for Changle: "At that time, Su Cheng couldn't believe it, so he asked Gongzi Ling if he deliberately hid his strength. On the surface, he hated playing chess, but in fact he studied it for many years, and said that Gongzi Ling had ulterior motives. The game of chess is like a game of war. Is Huang Nation's move just like Gongziling's friendship with Xi Nation on the surface, but hidden evil intentions in the dark? Originally, the relationship between Huang Nation and Xi Nation was already very delicate at that time. The words are intended to provoke disputes between the two countries."

After hearing Xie Yizhi's words, Xie Yuanbao curled his lips, expressing his contempt for Su Cheng's character, and said: "Su Cheng is still pretending to be a national player. If he loses chess, he will be so unmannered."

Xie Yizhi smiled, "Do you know what Gongziling said?" When everyone was listening, Xie Yizhi deliberately put on a show, and Xie Yuanbao took Xie Yizhi's hand and said, "Second brother, don't be a showman. Speak quickly."

"The so-called chess game is ever-changing. If you memorize the chess record, even if the situation is ever-changing, it is not difficult. But state affairs and military affairs are related to the common people in the world, and the life and death of the people. How can it be like a dead thing playing chess." A cold voice is faint. The one who spoke was none other than Xiao Que.

Xie Yizhi didn't expect Xiao Que to actually take the conversation, he smiled helplessly, and said: "That's what Gong Ziling said at the time, what he said made Su Cheng angry and annoyed, there was no reason to make trouble, and it also resolved Huang a crisis for the country."

"At that time, Gong Ziling's words were not only said to Su Cheng, but also to the monarch of Huang Kingdom. I thought he would wake up from the chess game, but I didn't expect the monarch of Huang Kingdom to still not repent, playing with things and losing his mind, leading to the subjugation of the country. In the original battle, the destruction of the Huang Kingdom was a matter of time, but it is a pity for the son's mausoleum..." Qingyuanhou's mansion was born as a general, and Chang Le admired heroes since he was a child, so he admired the son's mausoleum very much. With a bit of regret.

Although Fu Yunshu knew little about the matter of Gongziling, Luoyuan and Ningzhou were not far away, and Ningzhou was on the border of Huangguo, and had many contacts with Huangguo. Regarding the battle of Luoyuan 14 years ago, Fu Yunshu Still heard some.

Fourteen years ago, there were four most powerful countries in the Eastern Continent. They were Xi, Li, Huang, and Yue. They divided the world into four parts, but among them, Xi was the most powerful in terms of military strength and the size of the country's territory. One country; the Li country is second; and the Huang country and the Yue country, the Huang country is the richest, but the military strength is the weakest country; the same is true for the Yue country that was destroyed eight years ago.

The former Huang Kingdom was very prosperous for a while, but by the time of Liyang Jun, the king of Huang Guo, Huang Guo had already shown a trend of decline. During the reign of Liyang Jun, the relatives and ministers were obsessed with the study of chess games. The treasury of the Huang Kingdom was squandered and far away from the state affairs. At that time, it coincided with the natural disasters and man-made disasters of the Huang Kingdom. Three times of rebellion and three times of pacification, the Huang Kingdom has long since passed away.

And the appearance of Gongzi Mausoleum happened to be the last ray of dawn for the Huang Kingdom in its twilight years.

Gongziling has not yet reached the age of weak crown, and is famous in the four countries, with amazing talent, but Liyang Lord listens to the villain's words, and is not close to Gongziling, on the contrary, he abolishes the prince and establishes the second prince who is also proficient in chess.

Even a person like Gongziling could barely support the Huang Kingdom for decades. In the end, in the tenth year after Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, during the Battle of Luoyuan, Gongziling and his [-] soldiers were abandoned by the country , the loyal bones were buried in Luoyuan.

The destruction of Huang Kingdom 14 years ago was a taboo in Xi Kingdom. Seeing that Chang Le said this unintentionally, Xie Yizhi hurriedly stopped Chang Le from continuing.

Xie Yuanbao also knew that some state affairs were not something they could talk about, so he quickly changed the subject according to Xie Yizhi's intentions, and said: "Although I don't know about the relationship between Gongziling and Sucheng, I have heard that Gongziling was once ranked in the Eastern Continent. The head of the four young masters, I don't know if it is worthy of the name?"

Xiao Que said very little, when he heard Xie Yuanbao's words at this time, he suddenly said: "Young Master Ling, you deserve it.",

Among these people, Xiao Que was a little older. Seeing what Xiao Que said, they all looked at Xiao Que curiously, and even Fu Yunshu couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yuyan, have you seen the son's mausoleum?" ?”

Xiao Que nodded slightly, with a rare look of nostalgia in his eyes, and said: "I had the honor to witness the grandeur of the son's mausoleum on the Phoenix Terrace."

Fu Yunshu asked curiously: "Mr. Yuyan, are you talking about the Phoenix Terrace where the fourth son of Donglu was evaluated in the Liguo competition?"

According to legend, when the four countries gathered together in Liguo, Lord Xinling of Liguo had a whim and held a competition on the Fenghuang Terrace of Liguo. Young talents from all over the world participated in that competition. There was the fourth son of Donglu who was later famous in later generations.

Prince Chu of Xi State; Prince Ling of Huang State; Prince Xin of Li State; and Prince Yu of Yue State.

Although the four young masters in the capital of Xi Kingdom are unparalleled in style, how can they compare with the four young masters of the Eastern Land who were very prosperous at that time?It is said that the one-day and one-night competitions on the Phoenix Terrace were all involved. At that time, the four sons of Donglu were so magnificent, but they never thought that the world would change. The grand scene on the Phoenix Stage will never be repeated again.

Fu Yunshu couldn't help being envious of Xiao Que, who was able to witness that grand event with his own eyes.

"I know about the fourth son of Donglu." Xie Yuanbao, who had been silent for a long time and couldn't find a chance to speak, said hastily seeing that he finally had a chance to intervene.

"Seventeen years ago, among the four young masters selected from the Phoenix Terrace, the identity of Young Master Mausoleum is needless to say, he was the crown prince of the Huang Kingdom and the first of the four sons; the one ranked below the Young Master Mausoleum was the young master Xin of the Yue Kingdom. , his status is not as noble as that of Gongziling. He is the son of Yuan Chong, the general of the Yue Kingdom. The Yuan family is a family of military generals. He is a young hero. The king of the country, Lord Qingli, son Xin."

"Then we, Xi Country, are only in the last place?" Ning Wan couldn't help asking when she heard this.

Xie Yuanbao listened to Ning Wan's question, a very mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Although our country Xi only came last in the end, the limelight far surpassed the other three countries. In the competition, Xi Country is the biggest winner."

Seeing what Xie Yuanbao said, Ning Wan couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Xie Yuanbao and Xie Yizhi's brother and sister both have the same virtues and like to play tricks. Changle couldn't stand it anymore, so he replied for Xie Yuanbao: "That's because the young master Chu who replaced Xi Guo in the competition is only a seven-year-old child."

After Chang Le said a word, Ning Wan couldn't help but sighed: "A seven-year-old child? Was there no one else in Xi Country at that time? Why did you send a seven-year-old child to compete?"

Xie Yizhi took a sip of wine, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I can write poems at the age of three, I can write poems at the age of four, and at the age of five I can talk about state affairs with the emperor in front of the palace. How can such a genius not be qualified to replace Xi Xi?" country to participate in the competition."

Fu Yunshu asked curiously: "I don't know which family's son this kind of genius is, but is he an official in the court?"

"Miss Fu may not have heard of Mr. Chu's name, but everyone present must have heard of Chu Huaichao's name."
