Chapter 490: The Fate of the Pieces
The night wind covers the mountain stream, and the torches stretch on the mountain road, making a long queue like a dragon. .
Huhuhuhuhu
The mountain wind whistled past the crowd. In the wilderness, the horse's hooves slowly stopped there on the cliff that was protruding out of the mountain road. The figure wearing green chain armor looked at the vastness of the night outside the mountain road, and the green dragon and moon sword hung in the air. The light of the torch slowly passed behind him. Soon, Xuan Zan, the "ugly horse" behind, followed him, standing side by side with the man, and his eyes also looked at the blackness of the mountain stream.
“…..Brother is still thinking about Huang Xin?”
Xuanzan, who stood side by side, turned his gaze and looked at the figure beside him, stretched out his hand to stroke the horse's hair to comfort the fear of standing on the edge of the cliff, "We have been traveling for three days in a row, and most of the soldiers can't stand it anymore. If... Brother, don't blame me for saying bad things, if Huang Xin really rebelled, our people are all tired from afar... Don't talk about fighting, even if you can't escape."
The torch in the guard's hand was burning, and the flames reflected the face of the heavy date long beard. The phoenix eyes narrowed, but hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"This is a simple truth...Why would Guan not know..."
The hanging knife swayed, Guan Sheng on the mount breathed a long sigh and closed his eyes. When he received the letter from Fei Ge, he knew that Huang Xin had rebelled and rushed towards him without stopping. If Huang Xin rebelled, he would naturally not believe it too much. But when the news came, they had to move. If they really rebel and they did not move, they would easily be caught by the ministers in the court. Such a loss had been taken at a time.
On the other hand, at the time of Liangshan, the faction was also clear. Huang Xin, Zhensanshan, came from the court, and naturally got closer on weekdays. In addition, in recent years, they have joined each other to guard the north, and their relationship has naturally increased a lot.
Now that the brothers rebelled, Guan Sheng was a little confused. Is it a real kill or a fake fight...
"Loyalty...loyalty..."
He murmured, looking at the mist floating in the black, turned his head to look at the old brother beside him, "You think Guan is loyal or righteous? People say that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time, and loyalty and righteousness are not separated, but when I come to me, why did he change..."
Xuan Zan looked at the redness in the phoenix eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and then stopped the urge to speak, lowered his head and remained silent. The voice over there was hoarse and low. Suddenly, Guan Sheng stood up on the horse's back and raised his sword in the air: "Why do you have to be loyal and righteous when you get to Guan, you can't do both loyalty and righteousness?"
"Brother..." Xuan Zan raised his face, and his wide face and wide nose became tense.
Guan Sheng waved his hand, and waved the horse's head, and the copper bell on the horse's neck jingled.
"No matter what, I, Guan, is a general of the Wu Dynasty and is deeply loved by the Admiral. If Huang Xinzhen dares to act rebelliously, it would be against his minister..."
The horse's hooves were walking, and the torch reflected the shadow of a man. When Guan Sheng said this, he growled from his tall body with a firm voice: "I will kill the rebels and use the power of the army."
Looking at the back of the team, Xuan Zan picked up his fist with red eyes. His friendship with Guan Sheng was very familiar with both Liangshan and Liangshan. He knew how difficult it would be for the other party to make such a choice.
At present, in the face of such a situation, we can only choose this way.
A long army of troops winds along the mountain road. Guan Sheng was as usual, calling on the soldiers to advance, reminding the fallen rocks, and saying some inspiring words. However, as he was moving, the closer he was to Yanmen Pass, the more painful the struggle in his heart became.
The bronze bell jingled... The green dragon sword shaking... In the night, Guan Sheng sighed quietly.
***************************************
It was getting deeper and the wind blew thousands of miles.
A row of wind chimes on the corner of the palace eaves made a crisp sound, and the red candlelight reflected in the paper window, slightly shining.
Under the eaves, the palace servants holding whisks stood in two rows with water. The wooden door in the middle was closed. In the room, the red-burned carbon pots exuded warmth under the table.
Going up, two elderly figures on both sides of the wooden table were holding chess pieces and playing chess game, and no one was on the side of the room. The light on the candlestick was occasionally blown in by the wind, and the swaying two people looked light and dark, and then someone fell down.
"In the early years, the Supervisor changed the small chess pieces, and the palace grid became much more complicated... It's so amazing."
Cao Zhenchun nodded, "But it has become more confusing... It's great." He pushed a horse to cross the river casually, "There are many more frameworks and rules, and everyone can do things in a proper manner. If they really want to win or lose, they can rely on their skills."
Over there, Hai Dafu looked at him, frowned, looked back at the chess game, and smiled: "Eunuch Cao is fighting dogs and not looking at the owner. I miss you, too, I am old and can get along with you..."
"Don't misunderstand the thousand households." The round-faced eunuch waved his hand to interrupt the other party's next words, holding a chess piece in his hand and said, "Our family is just for the sake of the governor..."
"Oh, no wonder... But the Supervisor didn't know." Hai Dafu put away his smile, his face turned mute, and he made a move of chess, ate the opponent's cross-river, and threw the piece out of the chessboard in an understatement.
"It seems that Hai Qianhu has a deep misunderstanding." Cao Zhenchun pushed the soldiers across the river again, still with a smile on his face.
The fat eunuch across the street looked at the pawn who had crossed the river again, stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "...The internal officials are not allowed to send private letters to the generals of the border. This is the rule set by the governor. Our family in the East Factory has always adhered to this rule. No matter who wants to offend, they cannot escape my eyes. The news from Huang Xin arrived early this morning. Thousands of people in Datong who are suspected of being infected have entered the pass, but you did it!"
"Yes, we did it." The other side also admitted readily.
"reason?"
"Nature is to plan for the Lord."
"..." Hai Dafu silently grasped a chess piece. After a moment, he seemed to have figured out a joint and suddenly raised his sight. He saw Cao Zhenchun nodding at him with a smile.
Then, he smiled and held the hand of the chess piece, pointing at the other party: "Eunuch Cao, you are really scared to death. I thought you had any ulterior motives."
Over there, the figure stood up and walked in the candlelight.
Cao Zhenchun shook his head, "As you said, we are both old, so why are we trying to do... Besides, the governor helped us at the end of our family to save our lives. I can't do such a thing as a wolf and a dog."
"I'm afraid I'm not brave enough...hahaha." Hai Dafu laughed.
"….Ha ha ha ha…."
Cao Zhenchun also laughed for a moment, and finally said, "It's okay if you are interested or not. Our family is interested in Huang Xin's weakness, which makes him think he has obtained the will. If someone changes, he will probably not open the city gate easily. Once the city gate is opened, Huang Xin will leave the north. Our family will create momentum and blame all the things that the governor has done to the fake person. After all, we can't be idle, right?"
"…..What should Huang Xin do in the end?" Hai Dafu finally reached the point.
The carbon pot jumped on Mars and the room became quiet.
The figure sat down again, picked up the chess piece that had been eliminated on the table and pinned it to his palm. The dim firelight was clearly extinguished on his face, "Have you seen the chess piece that was kicked out still return to the board?"
Hai Dafu nodded and then left a son.
"Will"
"Hmm?" The vicious expression suddenly became stunned. Cao Zhenchun hurriedly looked at the situation and wiped his forehead, "You won again..."
About half an hour later, Hai Dafu came out of the room. The wind was blowing outside was a little violent, and he blew up his robe and waved around, but he still walked out of the hidden hut with his fellow followers.
He is not afraid of storms... he just can turn a chess piece.
