Chapter 35 Chapter Five: The Exquisite Chess Piece

Chapter 5: The Rebellion of Xiaoqiang Holding the confession, I walked towards Qifengxuan, because I really wanted to see my righteous daughter Roulan, for some reason, I always felt that she was a spirit from the Piaoxiang Spring, sent to my daughter, in a hurry Back to Qifengxuan in a hurry, I saw His Royal Highness Prince Yong sitting there, teasing Xiao Roulan. I went forward to salute and said: "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time. I was busy questioning my statement just now, so I didn't know His Highness was here." Li Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. took in a adopted daughter and came to visit him. How is the situation?"

I smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have discovered the influence of the Jinxiu League in Dayong, and I have already questioned it clearly. Although it has passed overnight, there will inevitably be some changes, but it is easy to wipe them all out." Li Zhi looked at me with some hesitation, and I knew it well: "Your Highness, I understand that the Jinxiu League is now mainly raging in Central Shu and Southern Chu, and Dayong is still a place for them to recuperate. Therefore, Your Highness wishes to keep the Splendid Alliance for the time being." Li Zhi smiled wryly and said: "Sir, to be honest, I have known about the existence of the Jinxiu League for a long time, but I have not asked about it for the time being. However, they are so arrogant and rampant now. If it is rumored that Dayong once supported them in the future, I am afraid that Dayong will be in the East." The hearts of the people in Sichuan and Sichuan will be ruined."

I bowed and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I already have a plan, I can let go of some of the Jinxiu League's forces, but first we must eradicate all their forces in Chang'an, so that even if he wants to involve Dayong in the future, he will not be afraid." It's possible." King Yong said: "That's good, lest they take the opportunity to make trouble when the situation in Chang'an is chaotic. After all, they and Dayong are also enemies. I have some information in my hand, plus the confession you got, it should be enough. This king Order the siege."

I shook my head and said, "It's a small Splendid League, what credit does His Highness have for eradicating it? If His Highness is at ease, please let me plan it. It can not only eliminate the power of the Splendid League in Chang'an, but also realize my heart-wrenching goal." Policy." King Yong's eyes flashed, and he said: "Since this king has granted full authority, please ask Mr. to preside over it. If you need this king's support, just say it clearly." I thanked you with a smile. At this time, King Yong looked at Rou Lan and said, "Mr. is alone. Ling Ai is young. It is always inappropriate to have no mother to take care of her. The princess has been sad these days. The son is going to Youzhou, and the knees are empty. If Mr. If you don't dislike it, why don't you let the concubine take care of Roulan, so as not to worry about Mr.

I thought for a while and said, "It's just that it's inconvenient for me to see my little girl." King Yong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if the master misses his daughter, let Xiao Shunzi go to the princess to pick her up." I thought it was a good idea for Xiao Shunzi to have no scruples about going in and out of the inner house, so I said: "Then I would like to thank Your Highness, the princess will definitely be able to raise the little girl into a famous lady, and please thank the princess on my behalf." King Yong looked at me for a moment and said, "Sir, you are already twenty-six years old this year. Why are you still a widow? You should start a family."

King Yong's words caused pain in my heart, and I was silent for a long time before I said: "I already had a fiancée, but she passed away before we were married." King Yong was taken aback, and said: "I don't know this king, but marrying a wife and having children is filial piety, and my husband can't always be so lonely. If I have the heart, I should ask the princess to find a virtuous woman for my husband. I don't know Mr. how about." I smiled relievedly and said: "I'm naturally free-spirited, but I didn't let my hair go into the mountains, and I don't want to let down a good woman. Please don't worry about it, Your Highness."

King Yong shook his head, sighed and said, "Let's talk about these things later, sir, go get busy. I believe that my husband will give me a satisfactory result." I saluted and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, your Highness will be able to insert your confidant next to the Prince's side soon." Xia Jinyi felt that he had never been so afraid. He had a frivolous temperament, but sometimes he was too impulsive, so he offended the elders of the teacher's door and was kicked out of the door. He wanted to get in through Guan Zhonglian, but he offended Miss Jiang. He had no choice but to seek help from a senior brother, who had a good temperament but had a good relationship with him, and now he was working as the chief guard of the prince's mansion, so he had no choice but to ask his senior brother for recommendation, otherwise, he would not be able to take the imperial examination, nor would he be able to fight in battle Enemy, what do you rely on for a family background?It's a pity that he was blocked by Guan Zhonglian before he came to meet his senior brother. In desperation, he had no choice but to escape. Who knew that Sima from Yongwang's mansion was the one who framed him, which made him very discouraged at first, but The senior brother told himself that if His Royal Highness knew about this matter, he would definitely stay with him so that he could sweep the face of Prince Yong's mansion. He was ecstatic, so he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, but when he returned to the inn, he was overwhelmed by a surprise attack. Those people did not know the origin, tied themselves tightly, locked their hands with fine steel chains, blocked their mouths, put them in boxes and carried them away. When they couldn't feel the bumps, they didn't When someone came to release him, after being tied up for such a long time, Xia Jinyi only felt that his limbs were numb and his blood was blocked, and the greatest pain was that he could only bend his body, but he couldn't straighten it even if he wanted to. This made him feel extremely painful. If he can straighten his body, he is even willing to pay any price. In other words, his will has collapsed.

Finally, the sound of footsteps was heard, and someone opened the box. The man was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and the light fell on Xia Jinyi's face. Xia Jinyi subconsciously closed his eyes, so as not to be hurt by the light due to being in the dark for a long time.After a while, Xia Jinyi opened his eyes, and saw standing in front of him was a handsome young man, who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he seemed to be looking at him curiously.Xia Jinyi's eyes revealed the meaning of pleading and questioning.The young man said indifferently: "The villain, Chiji, was ordered to deal with Mr. Xia. If Mr. Xia cannot get the approval of the villain, he will be buried here. If he passes by by chance, he can see my master. Mr. Xia, if you speak loudly Yelling, the villain will have to kill you immediately, so please be careful, my lord." After finishing speaking, the young man put the oil lamp on a table in the room, and stepped forward to take out the silk scarf Xia Jinyi was holding.Xia Jinyi took a deep breath, and said: "Brother, please release me first. If you don't stretch out, Xia will be disabled." Seeing the enemy, Xia Jinyi's sanity gradually recovered, and he was ready He started to fight wits with the enemy. Although he was surprised that his enemy was a young man, Xia Jinyi knew very well that the most terrifying people in the world were monks, women and children, so he did not feel contemptuous at all.

The young man smiled slightly, lifted Xia Jinyi out of the box, and put him on the ground. In this way, although Xia Jinyi was still tightly bound, he could already stretch his body. He groaned comfortably and closed his eyes. Seems like he wants to get a good night's sleep. The young man smiled, kicked Xia Jinyi, and said, "Brother, have you forgotten something? I'm still in control of your life and death?" Xia Jinyi opened his eyes, with a comfortable expression on his face, and said: "Brother, Xia is just a prodigal son, if you are not useful to me, why bother to tie me up? I think if I kill you casually Maybe I will be punished?"

The young man suddenly sat on the ground and said to Xia Jinyi: "You are right, but unfortunately my master is arrogant, if it is a waste snack, he will never use it, so you have to persuade me to take you to see the master, if you don't let me I am convinced, even if I kill you, it is fine, anyway, you are not the only candidate." Xia Jinyi's heart trembled. He saw that although this young man was young, he was very experienced in speaking, and he didn't seem to be moved at all when it came to killing people, so he asked tentatively: "Brother is young, but did he kill a lot of people?"

Chi Ji smiled and said: "I dare not hide it. At the beginning, the boy killed eight or nine people in order to save his life. Later, he served his master. He killed all men, women and children. The most pitiful thing is that once we had to kill many innocent people. There are also a few women and children, to be honest, I really didn't want to kill them at the beginning, but who made them stay where they shouldn't be, only once, the kid didn't kill anyone, but they didn't survive either." Chi Ji said They are vague, but there is no lie. When they were training in the secret camp, they often had to fight each other. If they lost too many times, they would be sent away by erasing their memories. They later said that these people were all dead and lost. The memory of the secret camp, to them, life is worse than death. As for working for the Tianji Pavilion, killing people is even more inevitable. Only the last time Liang Wan did not kill people, but since there are only Princess Changle and the stupid Liang It is not kindness for Wan to escape. Xia Jinyi could hear the seriousness in Chiji's tone and the lack of showing off at all, so he knew that he had really met a murderous little devil star, and he forced a smile: "So that's the case, then Xia is far inferior to Xiao Mou." Brother, although Xia has a reputation as a prodigal son in Jianghu, he doesn't kill many people, after all, his martial arts are not high, so killing people is more troublesome, I don't know how my little brother is willing to let Xia go?" Chi Ji thought about it for a while and said: "This is really difficult. Although I have no money, I don't lack money when I want to spend it. Although my martial arts are not high, it is enough. If you talk about prosperity and wealth, even though you are a man Everyone loves me, but I'm still young, so it won't be too late to fight for it in ten years' time?" After speaking, his tone became colder, Chi Ji took out a small dagger from his arms, gesticulated Xia Jinyi's throat, and said with a smile : "Okay, tell me, what benefits can you give me?" Xia Jinyi hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, Xia has an idea. I see that my brother is already fifteen or sixteen years old, and the children of rich families should get married. I see that my brother has an extraordinary bearing. Even if he is not from everyone, he has to marry someone." The charming lady of everyone, otherwise, wouldn’t it be that the pearl is cast in the dark, Xia has no other skills, it’s nothing to say when it comes to pursuing girls, and besides, no one knows more about the outstanding beauties in the north and south of the river than me. How about asking Xia to advise you on marrying a beautiful lady." Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi for a long time, then burst out laughing, and said, "Looking at you running around for your life being hunted down by Miss Jiang, I can't see that you still have such abilities, well, let me listen to your ideas. " Xia Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, he could see that Chiji's murderous intent had dissipated, so he said with a smile: "Brother, you can't look down on me, if you want to say, Miss Jiang is pretty good, but you must never marry her as a wife." ? I just stole her bellyband and chased me everywhere." Chi Ji opened his mouth wide when he heard that, looked at Xia Jinyi and said, "You stole hers, hers." Xia Jinyi smiled and said: "That's so strange, I, no, I just don't like it, a little girl, it's okay to provoke all the young men in Guan Zhonglian to follow after her buttocks, I'm so romantic, this little girl I am very happy to listen to my nonsense all day long. If you go too far, she will put on a face of a late lady. Isn't it because she is a disciple of Fengyi Sect, so I simply used Mixiang to stun her, and went to see her in person. Her boudoir stole her bellyband, haha, she dared not even explain why she chased and killed me. Little brother, I tell you that girls from Fengyimen are not allowed to marry. I don’t believe it, a girl doesn’t have any hints, so many men will pursue you desperately, playing hard to get you is better than anyone else, I’m far worse at chasing beautiful women than they are at seducing men. The most hateful thing is, if you If you really get it, I will always be obedient to you. If you don't follow her wishes, it will be a blink of an eye to turn against you. Let me tell you, even marrying an illiterate village girl is better than marrying those Fengyimen. Female disciples are strong." Chi Ji stared blankly at Xia Jinyi who was chatting suavely, and said: "I heard you say such a terrible thing, you have encountered such a thing before." Xia Jinyi was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he said after a while: "No, no, I'm just a prodigal son. The female disciples of Fengyi Sect are either married to officials or families of martial arts. How can there be anything to do with me? ." Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi's embarrassed face and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I have something to do with Fengyimen?" Xia Jinyi's cold sweat immediately flowed down, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "How can it be, although the Fengyi Gate may attract some men, but with his demeanor and temperament, he should not be a person who is obsessed with beauty." He murmured in his heart, Fengyimen wouldn't put his hand on half a young man, would he? Chi Ji smiled lightly and said, "Since you don't like Fengyimen, why do you want to join the prince? Who doesn't know that the prince and Fengyimen are on the same boat, so King Yong and Fengyimen are not compatible?" Xia Jinyi said with a bitter face: "Little brother, as the saying goes, dressing and eating are important things in life. You said that I can't plow the fields, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy. I want to be a bodyguard to protect the courtyard, but I have a good temper and good looks. People see me." If I were to be a bandit and a thief, to put it bluntly, Dayong's headhunters are not easy to deal with, and my martial arts are not very strong. I'm afraid I'll be in prison for a few years. As for relying on Yong Wang, I'm afraid Xia is not so lucky. King Yong needs someone with ability. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in. It will be much easier for the prince. In fact, I really wanted to take refuge with King Qi. I heard that King Qi likes Fengyue places the most, maybe I can still be appreciated by King Qi, but when I came to Chang'an, I heard that although King Qi likes to go to Mazhangtai, the people around him are warriors who have gone through bloody battles on the battlefield. Humans can't." Chi Ji thought for a while and said: "You are right. People in the martial arts practice martial arts like small and exquisite martial arts, and your Kongtong is a martial arts-based school. If you go to the battlefield, I am afraid that you will not be able to become an ordinary martial artist." General, besides, not everyone likes the military, you are so cynical, I am afraid that you will be punished by the military law after only a few days in the army." Xia Jinyi agreed and said: "Yes, although I don't have any skills, I still have self-knowledge. If I can stay in the Prince's Mansion for a few years, it should be better than wandering around the world." Chiji looked at him, finally smiled easily, and said: "Although I think it's no good to let you go, but I really don't want to kill you, well, I think you can go to see my master, just to remind you, I Your master is usually kind and kind, but once you get serious, you'd better hope to die a little easier." Xia Jinyi suddenly laughed, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, brother, Xia has always been very knowledgeable about current affairs." At this time, I was in another room, and I finally couldn't help laughing. I was very happy when I heard Xia Jinyi's words through the brass pipe. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi also laughed, and I asked him: : "Why, you also think he is very interesting." Xiao Shunzi suppressed a smile and said, "My lord, if I say something presumptuous, he is very similar to you. If it weren't for your brilliance, I think he really looks like you." I was a little annoyed at first, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, I am more interested in Xia Jinyi, and I believe that my plan will succeed. After a while, Xia Jinyi was escorted in by Chi Ji, who undid the shackles on him, so he could walk in by himself, but he was smart enough not to resist, otherwise he might not be able to walk in front of me.After more than ten hours of torture, not only is he hungry, but his clothes are messy, and his handsome face is also covered with dust.Walking in with difficulty, Chi Ji gave him a slight push. He looked up and saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting behind the desk and the handsome servant standing behind him. grown ups." I looked at him strangely. Although he had seen me from a distance, I was a little surprised that he still remembered me. I smiled and said, "Young Master Xia, you were born in Kongtong, so you won't do anything wrong." Big mistake, why were you expelled from the division?" Xia Jinyi looked up at me, and asked directly: "Sir, I don't know what the villain can do for me. If the villain is capable, it's not too late for the adult to question me. If not, the villain is not willing to treat anyone casually." It's all about the past." I looked at him seriously again, and said lightly: "I need a chess piece, and it is best that this chess piece has its own thoughts. In other words, what I want is a smart and exquisite chess piece. You are very suitable." Xia Jinyi showed a bright smile and said, "Then I don't have to die?" I also laughed, and said: "If you are smart enough, not only will you not have to die, but I will give you a retreat after the matter is over." The two of us looked at each other and smiled, when a faint voice floated into my ears, it was Xiao Shunzi's voice saying: "You two really look alike." I couldn't help but give Xiao Shunzi a blank look. Although voice transmission is very useful, it doesn't have to be used to bully me all the time.
