Two nights passed in the blink of an eye as the maids were busy. Early in the morning, Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Mrs. Fang finally took a leisurely return journey in a carriage.
They stopped and walked along the way. When they saw a temple fair in a certain town, they went to visit it. When they came across a teahouse, they went to listen to the story about how the prince killed Nanliang with one enemy. The journey of less than two days was getting longer and longer.
Xiao Yi was in a good mood, thinking that when he left Luoyue City half a month ago, his stinky girl was still wilting, like a withered flower, but now she was able to walk around the temple fair with him in high spirits. Occasionally riding a horse...is there any greater reward than this?
Four days later, they finally arrived at Luoyue City.
As soon as he returned to Bixiaotang, Xiao Yi asked the secret guard to go to Qingyunwu. He and Nangong Yue first went to Tingyu Pavilion to settle down with Mr. Fang.
After everyone sat down, a little maid came to report: "Old Master, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, An Yihou has come to pay his respects to the Old Master."
"Please come in quickly, Lord Marquis." Old Mrs. Fang said with a smile.
Guan Yubai walked into the yard amidst a burst of eagle crows. Although Han Yu had been wandering outside for a few days, of course he still recognized his master and happily patted the tops of Guan Yubai and Xiaosi's heads. Zhuan'er, that brisk tone sounded a bit coquettish.
Xiao Siban lowered his head, deliberately not looking at Han Yu.
This little guy is so spoiled that he followed someone else's eagle and left home for so many days without coming back!
And that guy...
Xiaosi looked forward and to the right accurately, and glared at Fengxing who was hiding in the tree in front of him. His eyes seemed to be sarcastically saying, "How dare you say anything about guaranteeing the completion of the mission!"
Feng Xing shrugged cheekily, meaning, didn’t I come back with not a single hair missing?
Xiao Si was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked away coldly.
Guan Yubai didn't pay attention, he looked up at Han Yu with a smile, and let out a light laughter, like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, with a hint of helplessness and a hint of indulgence in his voice, "You little guy finally knows you're back. ”
Listening to the young master's hearty laughter, it was like going back to the past. Xiaosi couldn't help but raise his head and look towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Xiao Si's smile lasted only a moment before he saw a gray eagle spreading its wings and flying over from outside the yard, following closely behind the white eagle, spinning in mid-air. The gray eagle flapped the white eagle's wings from time to time, as if to say, let's go play?
But this time, Han Yu did not follow Xiao Hui, and circled around Guan Yubai's head again, seeming to respond: I want to accompany the master.
Xiao Si’s complexion finally looked better.
As soon as Guan Yubai raised his right arm, Han Yu rushed down briskly and stopped firmly on his arm. It has done this action countless times, and has long since learned to resolve the momentum the moment it stops, while controlling the force of its claws so as not to hurt its owner.
When the white eagle stopped, it suddenly changed from being as active as a jumping rabbit to being as quiet as a virgin. At first glance, it looks docile and well-behaved, but if you look closely, you will find that the ice-blue eagle eyes have the look of a raptor. Sharp.
After Guan Yubai gently touched Bai Yu on its neck, he raised his arms and said, "Han Yu, let's go play."
The eagle should be with the eagle, fighting in the sky.
The two eagles, one gray and one white, went to play again, while Guan Yubai strolled into the house and greeted Mr. Fang politely.
"Yu Bai, sit down quickly." Mr. Fang warmly asked Guan Yubai to sit down.
After Guan Yu thanked Mr. Fang in vain, he sat down next to him.
Mr. Fang thought of something and said with a smile: "Yubai, I got a torreya chessboard in Heyucheng this time. I heard it was left by Qiao Yuanqing, the chess saint of the previous dynasty. Yubai, please appreciate it for me. How?"
Guan Yubai smiled slightly and was about to agree when he heard Xiao Yi say with a smile: "Grandpa, why are you and Xiaobai so polite?"
"What A Yi said is true." Guan Yubai agreed with a smile.
The maid quickly took out the torreya chessboard and two chess boxes they bought at the calligraphy and painting shop in Heyucheng, and placed them together on the mahogany carved round table. There were thin growth rings on the light yellow chessboard. , the wood grain is bright, and the surface of the chessboard has a bright yellow color. Just sitting there quietly, it exudes a tranquil atmosphere, attracting everyone's attention.
Guan Yubai carefully observed the wood grain of the chessboard, smelled its fragrance, and touched its feel. Then he took out a white piece from the chess box and casually placed it in the center of the chessboard, which is Tianyuan.
The sound of the falling pieces is clear and sweet, as if there is an echo reverberating in the ears.
Guan Yubai said with a smile: "It is indeed a chessboard made of cypress wood, and the master who made this chessboard has extraordinary skills... If I have a chance, I would like to go and ask Yu Cheng for advice."
Guan Yubai did not directly answer Mr. Fang's question, but everyone understood the implication. Since the master who made the chessboard is still alive, naturally this chessboard cannot be left by the previous dynasty.
It was a pity for Mr. Fang to buy a fake, but the chessboard was really well made and quite worth it.
Guan Yubai looked at the chessboard carefully. His compliments to the master were not just polite words. You must know that the torreya wood used to make the chessboard is delicate and needs to be dried for more than ten years before the chessboard can be made. If it is not dried in place, the chessboard is prone to deformation and cracking. Either the master is already a little old, or it may be due to his family background.
Seeing that Guan Yubai praised the torreya chessboard, Mrs. Fang stroked his beard and suggested: "Yubai, it's rare to find such a good chessboard. How about you play a game with me?"
Guan Yubai responded with a smile, Xiao Yi laughed and joked at the side: "Grandpa, aren't you afraid of losing?"
Mr. Fang gave Xiao Yi a funny look. He was losing to Xiao Fei all day long. If he couldn't think of this, he would have lived to this age in vain.
Seeing that the masters were planning to play chess, the maid serving at the side hurriedly took away the white pieces that Guan Yu had just left on the chessboard in vain, and lit incense.
Mr. Fang took out a black stone from the chess box next to him and said, "My chess skills are not as good as yours, so I will hold the black stone as a sign of respect."
Heizi went first. As he spoke, Old Man Fang made a decisive move and took one of the four corners first.
Guanyu Bai then dropped the white piece, and both sides occupied the four corners respectively.
Next, there was only the crisp sound of falling in the room, one after another, both of them were decisive and steady.
Mr. Fang's chess skills are not even as good as Xiao Fei's, and naturally far from Guan Yubai's, but his chess style is still solid and steady, playing steadily, seizing opportunities to cut off and eat a few white stones from time to time...
Seeing Mr. Fang eating Guanyu Bai's third child in one breath, Nangong Yue frowned and felt bad.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the white piece with the official language Bai took advantage of the black piece's omission and made an unstoppable attack, breaking up the situation on the chessboard again.
If this was a young man, he would inevitably be a little impatient and aggressive at this time, but at the age of Mr. Fang, he has already passed the age of winning, and he still plays extremely calmly. However, after all, the two are too far apart, and they will soon fall apart. You can find that the white stones on the chessboard are all connected...
Mr. Fang was in trouble and couldn’t let go of his son for a long time...
At this moment, a maid came to report that the eldest girl was here.
I think it was Xiao Fei who heard the news that Mrs. Fang was back and came here to say hello.
Seeing that Mr. Fang was focused on the chessboard, Nangong Yue said: "Please come in, big girl."
Soon, Xiao Fei, who was wearing a lake-colored brocade trousers with willow branch pattern, arrived. When she saw Guan Yubai was here, she was startled and stepped forward to greet everyone.
Xiao Fei's eyes naturally fell on the chessboard, her eyebrows raised, and she didn't even hear Nangong Yue ask her to sit down, and subconsciously murmured: "Is this... a guide to chess?"
Guide chess? ! Old Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the chessboard again. Looking at the overall situation, he had another feeling.
What Xiao Fei said is right. In fact, in this game of chess, the white stone had several opportunities to block the black stone's way of survival, but the white stone let it go, and even guided the black stone to find a way to survive. Isn't this just guiding chess?
This is truly a talented person from generation to generation, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!
Mr. Fang looked at the chess game in front of him with emotion, stroking his beard, but he saw Xiao Fei's focused expression from the corner of his eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Old Mrs. Fang suddenly had a thought in his mind and asked: "Sister Fei, how about you continue playing this game of chess for my grandfather?"
Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, but she still said honestly: "Grandpa, my chess skills are not as good as those of the Marquis. I'm afraid I won't be able to turn the tide."
Mrs. Fang had long been accustomed to Xiao Fei's sincerity. He laughed heartily, then looked at Guan Yubai and said, "Yubai, how about you let my little girl hold Bai Zi?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi yawned lazily and thought to himself: So what if we exchange chess pieces? Xiao Fei will be killed by Xiao Bai to pieces!
If you lose chess, don't cry.
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Fei with a half-smile, but saw her staring at Guan Yubai with a look of eagerness.
Of course Xiao Fei doesn't care. She knows Guan Yubai's chess skills best. If the black piece is in her hands, she will definitely lose. If it falls into Guan Yubai's hands...
Thinking about it, Xiao Fei's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't wait to see how Guan Yubai could turn things around.
Guan Yu smiled in vain and nodded in agreement.
So, the maid moved Old Mrs. Fang's wheelchair and brought a round stool over. After Xiao Fei sat down, the two exchanged chess pieces.
Xiao Fei holds the white piece, and Guan Yubai holds the black piece.
The chess game has reached the middle of the game, and the densely packed chess pieces occupy half of the chessboard. It seems a bit unclear where to start, but Guan Yubai has already made a plan in his heart, and he picks up the black stones and places them decisively.
Following, Xiao Fei dropped Bai Zi without hesitation.
Xiao Fei always plays like this when playing chess. She moves vigorously and decisively, and smoothly follows Guan Yubai's original layout step by step, using black stones to thicken the left side of the chess board, echoing the "two consecutive stars" on the right. Let Heizi's situation be great...
Unfortunately, suddenly, a violent storm came.
Heizi suddenly exerted force and advanced toward the center, piercing through the lower part in one fell swoop, cutting off the lower part of Bai's body. One move after another, one ring within another, leaving White with no ability to fight back, and causing the disk to shrink continuously...
At this point, the outcome on the chessboard is clear.
Xiao Fei stared at the chessboard without blinking. Although the white piece was not knocked down, any good chess player could see that the white piece had no chance of winning in this chess game. She pondered for a moment, then readily gave up.
After putting down the chess pieces, Xiao Fei let out a long sigh of relief, and then bowed seriously: "Master Hou's chess skills are still so extraordinary, Xiao Fei admires him!" She deliberately bowed to express her gratitude to the official. Bai's respect also means that there are no men or women on the chessboard, they are just players.
"Concession." Guan Yubai also bowed in return, the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.
Mr. Fang watched with concentration from beginning to end. While he was watching the chess, he was also thinking about how he would play and how he would respond to Guan Yubai's attack...
It is clear that Mingzi had a good situation at the beginning, but no matter how he thought about it, he would lose faster than Xiao Fei...
Mr. Fang said sadly: "No wonder the ancients said: 'Those who are good at chess plan for positions, and those who are not good at chess plan for pieces.'" Mandarin Bai's chess skills are so good, it can be seen that he is full of wits and has the ability to see the overall situation and see the subtleties. !
Guan Yubai said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, thank you very much."
"Xiao Bai, why are you so humble? At such a young age, you should be more arrogant based on your talents." Xiao Yi put a hand on Guan Yubai's shoulder and said casually, suddenly making the originally too serious atmosphere become A lot lighter.
When Old Mrs. Fang turned around and saw Xiao Fei immersed in the chess game again, he was afraid that she would be too troubled at her young age, so he said: "Sister Fei, come with me. Grandpa bought some more in Heyucheng this time. A seal stone, are you helping my grandfather control his eyes?"
As expected, Xiao Fei came back to her senses and responded quickly.
"Grandpa, you have a chance to meet me, please remember to pick a side with me." Xiao Yi said with saliva on his face. While speaking, he stood up to see each other off. Nangong Yue and Guan Yubai also stood up.
"Okay." Old Mrs. Fang responded with a smile, his eyes swept over the three of them, and finally paused for a moment on Guan Yubai on Xiao Yi's left. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, just like when he was here It was the same as when I first saw Guan Yubai in Tingyu Pavilion.
Guan Yubai and his grandson Xiao Yi are two young people, one is gentle and elegant, the other is wanton and flamboyant. They are both the best among people, but they are very different. However, when they stand together, there is a strange feeling. A sense of harmony.
If in the past, the old man Qian only "heard" that his grandson and Guan Yubai were close friends, at this moment, he felt this deeply.
Ai is so lucky to have such a good friend!
Mr. Fang's eyes paused on Guan Yubai's face, smiled slightly, and left with his maid pushing his wheelchair.
Guan Yu smiled and said nothing. He was as smart and astute as he was, so he didn't know what Mr. Fang was thinking. He knows best in his heart that meeting A Yi is also his luck...
After Mr. Fang’s back disappeared, Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Guan Yubai sat down again.
Following that, Xiao Yi talked about the An family and Aunt Lu in a cryptic tone, detailing everything...
The matter of settling down is not only a family matter of Zhennan Palace, but also involves the overall situation of southern Xinjiang.
Guan Yubai flexed his fingers and tapped the table. After Xiao Yi finished telling the story, he pondered for a moment, picked up a white piece and dropped it on the chessboard, saying: "...the rise of the An family is due to I believe that the Baiyue people are supporting me from behind. Based on this, Ayi, please listen to my inference."
Xiao Yi nodded without disturbing him and listened to Guan Yubai say: "More than fifty years ago, the An family fell into decline. An Xunzhi, the head of the An family at that time, made a desperate attempt to turn the An family around by going to sea, but failed. Just when the Anjia was about to be completely destroyed, Baiyue contacted An Xizhi through some way to help the Anjia rise at a cost, making Anjia become Baiyue's spy. Through the Anjia, countless spies were planted in southern Xinjiang. "Having said this, he picked up a white piece and placed it next to the black piece, "Including the Fang family."
"In the beginning, Baiyue probably didn't pay much attention to the Fang family. Until the late princess married into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, the Fang family immediately became the most important family in southern Xinjiang besides the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Therefore, just based on a mere A few spies who sneaked in as slaves were obviously not enough. So, under the help of the An family, someone from the Fang family connected with Baiyue."
Guan Yubai played with the chess pieces in his hand and said thoughtfully, "Nineteen years ago, the Fang family discovered a salt mine. The salt mine was very important to Baiyue and was bound to be won, so they used the Fang family to go there. They plotted to seize the salt mine. They may have thought that the late princess had discovered the deal, and in order to silence her, they asked the late Queen Lu to assassinate the late princess. After the late princess passed away, Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief. , but suffered from the lack of an eyeliner in the Zhennan Palace, so the step princess entered the palace..."
At this point, another chess piece fell.
Xiao Yi stared, even though he had already guessed that it was the third room in the Fang family who colluded with the Baiyue people. After all, after his mother's death, only the third room in the Fang family had gained the greatest benefits. But now that he heard Guan Yubai confirming his guess, his heart still sank.
As there are more and more black stones on the chessboard, white stones are surrounded and helpless, and are in danger.
After a pause, Guan Yubai's gentle voice continued, "Originally, Baiyue should have taken advantage of an excellent opportunity to completely use the forces at hand to overthrow southern Xinjiang. However, Baiyue No matter how many times I calculated, I missed you, Ayi."
Guan Yubai looked at Xiao Yi, and a white piece fell from his hand, solving the dilemma.
Nangong Yue nodded secretly. In the last life, although Baiyue had a small fight with Southern Xinjiang, there was never a real big fight. It was not until Xiao Yi led his army in the Northern Expedition that Baiyue saw an opportunity and launched a massive invasion. But in this life, because Xiao Yi broke Baiyue's fangs early, they had no chance to take advantage of these arrangements.
Xiao Yi said in a gloomy tone: "Anjia deserves to die."
Even with the reputation of one of the four great aristocratic families in southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi really doesn't take the mere An family seriously. The person who killed his mother and concubine was a spy from Baiyue, but the spy was placed next to her mother and concubine through Anjia. For this reason alone, Anjia's death would not be a pity. What's more, Anjia has been colluding with Baiyue for many years...
Guan Yubai naturally saw what he was thinking and said bluntly: "Ayi, if you want to deal with An Jia now, I don't think it's appropriate."
Xiao Yi looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Guan Yubai said with gentle eyes: "What charges are you planning to use? Colluding with Baiyue?" Without waiting for Xiao Yi to answer, he continued, "The An family is the uncle's family of the late princess, and even yours, A Yi, You also have the blood of the An family. If the An family is known to be treasonous and treasonous, it will be detrimental to your reputation."
Xiao Yi said nonchalantly: "I don't care."
"Ayi, you are wrong." Guan Yubai met his eyes and said, "The relatives of the Zhennan Palace have collaborated with the enemy and treason. This is the best excuse to withdraw military power and remove the vassal king. You are still in your infancy, Due to successive years of war, southern Xinjiang has insufficient troops and the people's livelihood is in decline. At such a juncture, we must not take the initiative to deliver this information to the emperor's hands."
Xiao Yi remained silent.
"We have to deal with the An family." Guan Yubai casually messed up the chessboard and said with a faint smile, "The An family dared to collude with Baiyue, which is obviously due to the family tradition. Such a family, as long as they have the intention, they can catch It’s not difficult to get a handle on it. There’s no need to miss a big deal just because of it.”
Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully.
It’s been more than ten years, and I don’t care about these few months.
Guan Yubai put the chess pieces back into the chess box and said, "In addition, there is also the step-wife from the Fang family and the palace..."
At this time, the sound of rolling wheelchairs and footsteps came from far and near, accompanied by Xiao Fei's slightly cold voice, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely design a good design for this square seal stone." Pattern..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by bursts of excited eagle cries.
"Xiao Hui..." Xiao Fei blurted out intuitively. She looked up and found two eagles, one gray and one white, circling in the blue sky outside.
Xiao Fei couldn't help but follow the white eagle and said strangely: "Huh? Why did the elder brother raise another eagle?"
Old Mrs. Fang smiled at the side and said: "Sister Fei, Han Yu is an eagle raised by Yu Bai."
At this time, Xiao Hui also saw Xiao Fei, swooped towards her, circled around her happily and flew away, but Han Yu who was following Xiao Hui spread his wings and continued downward, finally landing. On the armrest of the wheelchair...
Its ice-blue eagle eyes stared at Xiao Fei, or rather, the silver bracelet inlaid with sapphires on Xiao Fei's left wrist, and its bright yellow eagle beak pecked curiously.
For a moment, Xiao Fei didn't dare to move for fear of disturbing this energetic little guy. Her other hand felt itchy and she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch it...
