Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 106

The moon was bright, the snow was falling, the lights in the tent were flickering, and the aroma of wine was lingering. Two figures sat facing each other, playing a game of chess quietly.

Perhaps Hang Ruxue was young and had a strong body. Luo Qiuchi also instilled a lot of internal strength into him. He recovered quickly from his injuries, and within a few days he was able to play chess with Luo Qiuchi while drinking and talking.

It was a false alarm in the army, and they were very fortunate.

The night in Snow Valley was very quiet, only the wind outside was flapping against the camp tent. The two of them were halfway through the chess game, when Hang Ruxue suddenly asked, "I wonder if it snowed in Shengdu City?"

He lightly rubbed the chessboard, frowning slightly, his thoughts seemed to fly far, far away: "Look at this chessboard, the situation is so complicated, who can win?"

These words came out of nowhere, but Luo Qiuchi understood instantly. He put down a chess piece, raised his head and said with a smile, "No matter how complicated the chess game is, there is a way to solve it. As long as the hearts of the people are united and the belief is firm, no ghosts and monsters will be a problem. Just wait and see." When the sky breaks, it will be wiped out."

He said, looking at Hang Ruxue, with a meaningful smile, and lowered his voice: "You don't have to worry too much over there in the imperial city, Shaofu Xuan wrote to me again, the preparation of the Taixue Pavilion is going well, and the assembly is not bad. The people with lofty ideals in the Shaohan family have begun to take shape, and the carriage full of countless people's hopes has begun to stride forward."

"Although I was obstructed by some dignitaries from aristocratic families during the process, His Majesty resisted all opinions. Shaofu Xuan also lobbied many disciples of the palace school, and Shaofu Ouyang helped a lot..."

The Ouyang family can be regarded as an "old-school" dignitary in the imperial city. They are not very powerful, but they can still speak for themselves. Many overt and covert obstacles were resolved by Ouyang Yishi.

Ouyang Shaofu persuaded his father and relatives to stand on Xuan Shaofu's side with all his strength, and supported the implementation of the reform system for poor families.

In addition, Ji Wenjing has also become a core member of the Taixue Pavilion, helping Xuan Shaofu a lot of things, just like a "deputy gang leader" in the world.

The Zhao family even provided a lot of financial support. This year, against the Di clan, the war continued, the treasury was empty, and it caught up with the catastrophe year. The people in many places had no income. Standing up and donating money and materials for disaster relief has enabled the country to tide over the difficulties.

Not to mention the implementation of the poor family reform system, the establishment of the Taixue Pavilion was almost all led by the Zhao family. Emperor Liang was deeply moved, and rewarded the Zhao family endlessly, and even gave the Zhao family a plaque to promote their loyalty.

In addition, the undercurrent in the imperial city is turbulent, and there are many forces involved, including the "Four Young Masters of Zhuxiu", the four big families of Xie, Qi, Wang, and Liu, who are also the targets of the sixth prince.

"It's a pity that the Sixth Prince has calculated thousands of times, but he probably didn't. Although these four brats are dudes, they are dudes who value loyalty."

Luo Qiuchi smiled leisurely, put down another chess piece, looked up at the startled Hang Ruxue, and said with some pride: "How much older are I than them, and they didn't call 'big brother' for nothing. I wrote my own letters and sent them one by one, understanding them with reason and moving them with emotion.”

"Although they usually eat, drink and have fun, and do nothing serious, they are not big treacherous people who don't know right from wrong. Not long ago, they responded to me one after another. I'm afraid that the Sixth Prince's deliberate and step-by-step chess game will be missing another corner. Now, these four big families don’t say that they fully support the reform of the humble family, but at least they will not stop it, and stand on the side of the powerful nobles headed by the sixth prince.”

Luo Qiuchi tapped the chess pieces with his slender fingers, fixedly looked at Hang Ruxue, and said word by word: "As long as they remain neutral, they are already the greatest support for us."

Hang Ruxue's eyes widened, the corners of her lips fluttered, and the shock on her face deepened. Luo Qiuchi calmed down and put down a chess piece, "And the Sun family, you are busy beating those wolf cubs of the Di clan every day." , probably don’t know yet?”

"Know, what do you know?"

"Do you still have any impression of the big brother Sun Zuoyang?" Luo Qiuchi stretched out his hand and gestured, "He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is tall. At first glance, he looks like a hero who is just and awe-inspiring in dramas, punishing rape and eradicating evil everywhere. do you remember?"

Hang Ruxue was stunned, nodded, Luo Qiuchi smiled and said: "When the woods practiced, he also brutally slaughtered a few Di people. This big brother is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and his father Sun Shangshu is also a good courtier. They The entire Sun family is loyal to His Majesty."

"After Sun Zuoyang was admitted to Wu Tanhua, His Majesty put him in the Ministry of War for a period of training. He learned a lot from his father. Later, he made some contributions as a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."

"Then His Majesty transferred him to his side and handed over the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace to him. He is now considered a moderate leader. In the future, His Majesty wants to promote him to a higher position and sacrifice his entire wealth and life." Entrusted to him, do you think he is powerful?"

"You mean...the Commander of the Imperial Guard?" Hang Ruxue locked his eyes deeply, and said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, isn't the current Commander from the Sixth Prince?"

"That's right, it is precisely because he is a member of the Sixth Prince that His Majesty has to step up training Sun Zuoyang and let him replace that running dog. I believe that the day when the imperial guards have a 'big change' is not far away, what do you think?"

Hang Ruxue nodded thoughtfully, looked at the completely different chessboard, and said slowly: "With the support of the power of the Sun family, it will be much easier for Your Majesty to accomplish this."

Luo Qiuchi smiled and waved his hand. There was a clear distinction between the two armies on the chessboard. He commented one by one:
"Look, from this point of view, is the situation much clearer?"

"The sixth prince gathered a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries. The two most important chess pieces are a Marquis of Boyang and a Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty, here is also getting more and more wings. There is the Taixue Pavilion led by Xuan Shaofu, Ji Shizi, Ouyang Shaofu, etc., a group of poor families who are gathering and growing, and the Sun family, the father of the Minister of War, a The son of Keqi, the future commander of the imperial guards, and the biggest financial support, the Zhao family, and some loyal veterans who support the royal family."

"The ones who don't stand on either side and stay neutral are probably like the four big families of Xie, Qi, Wang, and Liu, but there should not be many. After all, the storm is coming, and everyone wants to choose a small boat to save their lives. If you are lucky, you have to go to one. , It’s not a problem to climb on the tree all the time, once the big flood comes, won’t everything be over?”

"That's why His Majesty has to make some improvements as soon as possible, and do something practical to give those who are still on the sidelines a confidence, a confidence that can win them over."

When Luo Qiuchi said this, he paused, and put down another chess piece heavily. He looked straight at Hang Ruxue, with a smile in his eyes: "Of course, the biggest bargaining chip in His Majesty's hand today is you, you, who has repeatedly stood up. Great work, Aunt Hang who has a very high reputation in the army... Oh no, General Hang!"

The corner of Hang Ruxue's mouth twitched, facing Luo Qiuchi's rascal smiling face, he put down a chess piece expressionlessly, and said courteously, "And you, General Fei Ling."

Luo Qiuchi reached out his hand very modestly, pushed the chess piece aside, and said very politely, "I'm here, I'm new here, please take care of me, let's count it as half, not too many, not too many."

Hang Ruxue laughed dryly again, looked down at the chessboard, narrowed her eyes slightly, and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems...the odds of winning are much greater than I imagined?"

"That's right." Luo Qiuchi also nodded, leaned closer to the chessboard, and touched his chin. "It's really bluffing at first glance. The two sides seem to be evenly matched, and it's hard to tell the winner, right?"

"But in fact," he raised his head and looked at Hang Ruxue: "You and I both know that the Sixth Prince has many followers, and the powerful family is also tyrannical. He has controlled the government for many years, and his power is deeply entrenched. How can he easily resist?"

"Then, then this chess game..." Hang Ruxue's brows were furrowed again, and the air seemed to be more solemn. He looked at Luo Qiuchi motionlessly, but his handsome face suddenly moved, and he raised his eyebrows at him, and opened his eyes. A big smile: "Don't be nervous, Miss Hangzhou, how can you not have a secret weapon when you come out to walk the rivers and lakes, don't you think?"

"..."

Hang Ruxue's body froze again, but she had no time to worry about Luo Qiuchi's teasing. She only coughed twice, and hurriedly said, "What secret weapon? Can you make a move if you keep it?"

"Well..." Luo Qiuchi rubbed his chin, picked up another chess piece, and said slowly: "This last move may be able to reach two armies, a million soldiers."

"Millions of heroes?" Hang Ruxue's pupils shrank suddenly, disbelief written all over his face.

Luo Qiuchi smiled mysteriously: "Otherwise, how can it be called a secret weapon? I'm not exaggerating myself, but I have full confidence in this vital chess piece. Maybe I can give it a name, 'The nemesis that the sixth prince can't even dream of. ', isn't it interesting?"

"What do you mean? What is the nemesis that you can't even dream of? What are you talking about?" Hang Ruxue was anxious: "What is the 'secret weapon' you mentioned?"

"Six words, listen carefully." Luo Qiuchi stretched out his fingers and pointed at Hang Ruxue one by one: "Heaven, opportunity, no, can, leak, reveal."

"Fuck you!" Hang Ruxue almost wanted to flip the chessboard, and punched that handsome face with a fist.

"Yo yo, Miss Hangzhou, you can also swear. You really slept with me a lot, and you are more manly, aren't you?"

"Luo Qiuchi, you are all boring! Let me tell you..." Before Hang Ruxue's angry voice fell, the handsome figure on the opposite side had suppressed his smile, his face was full of sternness, and he said coldly to him: "I just want to talk to you You are serious."

Hang Ruxue was taken aback, Luo Qiuchi cleared his throat, and said word by word: "No matter whether it snows in Shengdu City or not, and how much it snowed, I always know that there will be clouds and snow, and the sky will clear up." that day."

He suddenly stretched out his hand, slammed it on the chessboard, looked at Hang Ruxue, tilted his head and smiled: "General Hang, are you willing to wait with me for that day to come?"

Hang Ruxue's breath trembled, her expression became even more dazed, she looked at the hand raised in front of her eyes, and did not move for a long time.

Finally, he slowly stretched out his own hand, and under Luo Qiuchi's smiling gaze, he squeezed his hand tightly, and something hot and silent passed between the two.

Looking at Luo Qiuchi with that handsome and fair youthful face, his thin lips parted slightly, and he answered very seriously, "Eight words."

There was someone who imitated Luo Qiuchi's appearance, and suddenly came up with this trick. Luo Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, overjoyed: "Let me guess."

"Yes—" He drawled his voice and blinked slyly: "'Go to your uncle's Luo Qiuchi'?"

"No." Hang Ruxue shook her head, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and finally smiled lightly: "Yes——I am in the same robe as Zi, and I will return to life and death."

The two looked at each other, and between the flickering lights, there was something flowing, warming the bottom of my heart in this snowy night.

Luo Qiuchi sniffed, his eyes turned red, and was about to speak when the curtain of the tent was lifted suddenly, and Xiangzi from outside stumbled in.

"Boss Luo, General Hang, it's not good!"

As soon as he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was completely dumbfounded, unable to say anything after that, Luo Qiuchi and Hang Ruxue quickly released their hands, Luo Qiuchi cleared his throat, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

That Xiangzi was shocked, and then came back to his senses, his face was full of anxiety, and he stammered: "Ba, Ba Yuehan led the wolf cubs to kill!"
